Owen is a very generous person, although he never talked about it back then, but in his heart, he still sent his heartfelt blessings to Fan Bizhuang.

From a certain point of view, Fan Bizhuang can also be regarded as his "little junior brother", after all, he also played in Real Madrid, and there is such a relationship between the two, so in the training on weekdays, Owen also tried his best to give the other party some help to help Fan Bizhuang adapt to Manchester United's tactical system and integrate into the team.

Maybe at first Fan Bizhuang would feel that Owen who was robbed of his jersey number was "insincere", but these days after contact, his concept has completely changed, Owen does not have the slightest complaint, he is like a real "senior", giving himself a lot of help, for this generous "senior", Fan Bizhuang is also sincerely admired.

"Thank you, Michael."

Fan Bizhuang smiled, with a sincere face.

Owen waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a smile: "You've said it many times these days, in fact, I didn't do anything to help new members integrate into the team, which is something that every veteran player will take the initiative to do." ”

Fan Bizhuang shook his head: "You know I'm not talking about this ......"

After Manchester United handed over the number seven shirt to Van Bizhuang, Manchester United fans not only cheered and admired, but also questioned and criticized, with a small number of fans saying that it was disrespectful and humiliating to Owen.

It even caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.

However, as Owen made a public appearance on the Internet and spoke in support of Fan Bizhuang, the voice of criticism quickly disappeared.

From this point, Owen can be regarded as solving a lot of trouble for Fan Bizhuang.

Hearing Fan Bizhuang say this, Owen smiled again, shook his head, and patted Fan Bizhuang on the shoulder: "Don't think so much, if you have the ability, you can wear this jersey, if not, then this jersey will not belong to you." Doing your own thing and behaving well is a thank you to me. ”

Fan Bizhuang nodded.

……

Because it was just a warm-up game, Ferguson didn't care about the result, what he cared about was the team's preparation for the new season, so in this game, he did not line up the starting lineup of the whole main force, but more to give young players a chance.

Not only Van Bizhuang, but Correa and Smalling, who also transferred this summer, also started the game, and only Mexican striker Hernandez sat on the bench.

On paper, United's starting line-up is also very strong, with Wayne Rooney and Owen leading the line, Van Bizhuang and Correa on the wings, Fletcher and Anderson in midfield, Rafael, Smalling, O'Shea and Fabio in the back, and Poland international Kuszczak in goal.

Except for Rooney, this starting list is almost Manchester United's second-team lineup, but this is the heritage of the giants, even if Bristol is the main force to face the game, Manchester United's starting lineup is much more luxurious than the other party, to put it mildly, if you only compare it from the value, Fan Bizhuang's worth alone is enough to be worth the whole Bristol team!

Amid the cheers from the sky, the game officially began.

With such a big difference in quality between the two teams, the outcome of the game seems to have been foregone for a long time.

But in fact, Manchester United's start was not smooth, after all, there was no official game in the summer, and there were a number of new players in the starting lineup, and there was a lack of tacit understanding between the players, the game only lasted more than ten minutes, Manchester United had many passing mistakes by himself, the most dangerous of which was Anderson passed the ball back, but the central defender Smalling did not appreciate the intention of his teammates, and was removed by the Bristol striker halfway, and completed a shot on goal, Thankfully, Poland's goalkeeper Kuszczak was brave enough to scare his opponent with a ferocious attack that saved him the ball before he could shoot.

Not only is there a hidden danger on the defensive end, but also in the organization and advancement of the midfield, it is also full of problems, as a central midfielder, Carrick's ability is comprehensive, the offensive and defensive ends are very balanced, and he is good at running, and Anderson is known as Manchester United's star of hope, with outstanding personal ability, but the specialty of both is not in passing combing, coupled with the lack of familiarity with teammates on the field, there are often mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, so Manchester United's central axis looks very chaotic, and even faintly shows signs of disconnection from the front.

Relatively speaking, Manchester United's best performance is the attacking group in the frontcourt, whether it is Rooney or Owen, and Fan Bizhuang, are extremely outstanding individual players, in the case of the team can not be connected as a whole, often their single fight can also create a lot of trouble for the opponent's defense, and the ball quotient of high-level players will naturally not be low, occasionally a few cooperation, it can be regarded as decent, the opponent's ability is limited, but let Manchester United's forwards get a lot of shooting opportunities.

In general, what this Manchester United team has shown on the field is that everyone fights, the front, middle and back three lines, and in the case of not being connected into a whole, the players can only rely more on the play of individual ability.

It can be said that in the first ten minutes, Manchester United played extremely badly, even if Ferguson had expected such a situation, but seeing the team's scattered scene, he couldn't help but roar on the sidelines.

Although the play is poor, but the situation on the field Manchester United still has the upper hand, Bristol's strength is indeed too far from Manchester United, such a "half-hanging" Manchester United, not even half of the strength, but still suppressed the opponent, creating more threatening offensive opportunities.

Van Bizhuang was lively on the pitch and this was his first game for Manchester United, so it was natural that he wanted to make a difference and get his Red Devils off to a good start. Bristol's strength is not strong, which is an opportunity for him who has just joined and has not yet fully integrated into the team, a relatively weak opponent, which is easier for him to brush a wave of confidence on him.

However, after playing for more than ten minutes, Fan Bizhuang felt that something was wrong, his running position was no problem, and his attitude was no problem, but the passes to his feet were very few, not because he was a "newcomer", he was treated differently by his teammates, but the midfield was chaotic, Anderson and Carrick did not organize an effective offensive at all, and the cannonballs delivered to the front court naturally followed.

Not to mention Van Bizhuang, even Rooney and Owen didn't get the ball a few times from the midfield, more from the back, with long passes from the back, or from the wingbacks rushing up to the bottom crosses.

In fact, it's not bad that Fan Bizhuang can get a few passing opportunities, and the Portuguese winger Correa, who is also a recent addition, is much more miserable, not famous enough and not worth much, plus he is a newcomer, so he naturally has no status, don't look at him running sweaty, but basically he is doing useless work, and his teammates don't pass the ball to him at all - Rooney and Owen, as well as Fan Bizhuang didn't get too many opportunities, you are a rookie, and the ranking naturally has to move further back.

In desperation, Fan Bizhuang had to consciously retreat his position and approach the middle to assist the two midfielders in organizing and sorting out the midfield.

After all, Fan Bizhuang is not just a goalkeeper, when he first debuted, he was born as a fullback, and even won the honor of La Liga assist king, his overall view and ability to read the game have been mentioned by midfield master Riquelme, so even if he is incarnated as a midfield tandem, he can do it well.

Combined with his finger-and-finger passing, United's two strikers finally have more opportunities to create a threat.

Manchester United's overall combination has finally improved, but in this way, Van Bizhuang's goalscoring ability has undoubtedly been sacrificed, but in this situation, he has to assist the midfield, his integration with the team is not enough, it is difficult for teammates to play the ball for him, but it is relatively easy to play for Owen and Rooney, who are also at a high level.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Fan Bizhuang was cruising in the middle, and a sudden diagonal long pass passed the football to the right side, and Rafael received the football in a quick assist, and adjusted the pace in the case of no one to defend it, and passed the football into the penalty area. Wayne Rooney flanked down the middle and slotted the ball into the Bristol goal.

At 1-0, Manchester United took the lead.

"It seems that Van is also very good in the role of a passer in the middle, and his reading and control of the game is very good."

The team's lead, Ferguson does not care, what makes his eyes shine is the important role played by Fan Bizhuang in the process of scoring this goal, from Villarreal's early passer, to the late and Real Madrid offensive finisher, Fan Bizhuang's ability in assists and goals is undoubted, but Fan Bizhuang's organization and guidance ability, is little known.

And from this goal, Ferguson clearly saw something more.

But think about it, there are Cazorla and Riquelme in Villarreal, and in Real Madrid there are Alonso, Van der Vaart and other good players, even if Fan Bizhuang has the talent of "engine", he does not need him to do such a thing, his teammates can solve the problem very well.

And now the Manchester United players on the field lack a "brain" type of player, and in the case of helplessness, Fan Bizhuang can only handle himself.

After only a week in the team, he can understand the playing habits of most of the team's players and their respective characteristics, and Ferguson has to admit that Van Bizhuang does have a high ball IQ, at least, this is a good observation and good brain.

Ferguson was pleased with this.

But being satisfied with Fan Bizhuang does not mean that he is satisfied with the performance of the starters on the field, and it is unceremonious to say that if he meets the fiercely competitive league with such a look, it is estimated that he will be blown up by opponents all over the place.

Ferguson held his head with his hands expressionlessly, the gum in his mouth kept chewing, and his sharp eyes flashed through the glass lenses.

The game continues, Manchester United team tasted the sweetness from this goal, more trust in Fan Bizhuang, and it is like finding the backbone, as soon as the players in the midfield get the ball, regardless of 3721, they will send it to the feet of Fan Bizhuang, let him organize and decide the team's next offensive trend.

Fan Bizhuang could only reluctantly continue to play the role of midfield commander.
