A familiar figure appeared on the training ground.

Smith, who was beaten by Dong Fangzhuo, returned to the team, but he did not enter the first team training in the reserve team. After two consecutive weeks of vacation, he probably adjusted his mentality.

However, even if he returns, it will not put pressure on Dong Fangzhuo. A player who has left the first team for two weeks will not be on the roster immediately.

The players surrounding Manchester United's starting strikers are still Van NY, Rooney, Sachs and Dong Fangzhuo, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

These five strikers have already given Ferguson a headache. The loss to Fenerbahce in the Champions League and the draw of Fulham in the league brought unprecedented pressure to Manchester United. The culprit is naturally that Manchester United's forward line is not strong.

In the Champions League, Dong Fangzhuo played with Rooney, but Manchester United failed to score. In the league, Fanny played with Rooney, and although Manchester United scored, they still did not win Fulham.

Fortunately, Manchester United returned to Old Trafford next, facing the league opponent Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace, after 17 rounds of this season, ranks fourth from the bottom in points, and the goal of relegation is serious.

If Manchester United can win such an opponent, it will temporarily reduce a lot of pressure.

This time, Ferguson changed his mind again, and it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to return to the main lineup.

No matter how the team is in shape, Dong Fangzhuo is the most stable striker. He wants to give Fanny a chance, but he must consider the team's performance stability. After two games, it has proved that Dong Fangzhuo should still get the starting position. Even if Rooney is rotating, Dong Fangzhuo should not be rotated.

But what is surprising is that Ronaldo was actually excluded from the team's roster!

Yes, Ferguson did not let Ronaldo on the roster.

"He's crazy!"

Ronaldo was full of complaints.

This is simply unimaginable for not being on the big list.

His performance in the last game was really bad, showing off his footwork and crazy shots were one of the culprits for the team's inability to win Fulham.

Perhaps it was because he only won the second place in the Golden Boy Award, but his mentality has changed a lot, which is worse than any previous one.

It was normal for Ferguson to take him down, but it didn't even make the roster, which really surprised him.

For Manchester United, it may be a good thing. After all, Ronaldo still has not adapted to the Premier League's style of play and rhythm, and is still just caring about his performance on the court.

But for Dong Fangzhuo, it was a huge loss.

The best partner was not on the roster...

Everyone knows that at Manchester United, Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo are the best partners. However, everyone knows that it is limited to these two people. In addition to sparking with Dong Fangzhuo, he did not sparking with others.

The problem lies here, Ronaldo and other teammates do not call.

After the team has gone through so much, it is normal for him to be pushed down by Ferguson.

This time, Dong Fangzhuo had to fight alone.

This is not that scary. He is just more familiar with Ronaldo and is more accustomed to Ronaldo, but he does not rely on Ronaldo.

"Man, I have always reminded you to practice shooting more, reduce dribbling, and increase teamwork. This is the problem, and we cannot escape this problem."

In Manchester United, it is estimated that only Ferguson talks to Ronaldo like this, and even Queros, who is also a Portuguese, does not communicate with Ronaldo so sincerely.

"Get some rest, you'll figure it out."

rest?

This is obviously not Ronaldo's style. The team is fighting, and he is on holiday before Christmas?

"I want to play."

"Believe me, you will definitely have different opinions when you come back after Christmas." Dong Fangzhuo patted his shoulder and understood his depression. This was the biggest disadvantage of Ronaldo in the early days. The sooner he got rid of it, the sooner he would run to the ranks of top stars.

※※※※

Before the game, the Lord Sir did not explain that Ronaldo did not enter the roster. He simply mentioned the tactical needs, but anyone who understands Ferguson's mind knows that Ronaldo must have been deliberately suppressed by Ferguson.

Recently, Ronaldo's mind has become a little drifty, which has affected this team. You should know that in the last game against Fulham, Ronaldo scored 13 shots. As a forward, his shots were actually more than Rooney and Fanny combined...

It seems that no one will speak for Ronaldo.

Walking west from the Dinsgate Commercial Area for 15 minutes, you can see Old Trafford, the largest "Dream Theatre" in the UK, from afar. Because it is located in the former industrial area, the stadium is surrounded by low-density factories, warehouses and new-style office buildings, and the "Dream Theatre" standing among them is particularly dazzling.

Every match day, Old Trafford attracts thousands of fans like a huge magnet, and the statue of Sir Busby in front of the club store always welcomes the bustling crowd.

Despite the team's two bad games, Manchester United fans did not give up on Manchester United, and Old Trafford was still full.

A steady stream of fans flocked to Old Trafford, but before they could even sit down, they heard the unfortunate news.

Because at 15:00 local time in the UK, the 18th round of the English Premier League was the first to compete for five games, one of which was Chelsea.

Chelsea beat Norwich, Duff, Lampard, Robben and Drogba at home, and the leader temporarily led by 9 points.

9 points, what a huge gap, it almost makes Manchester United fans desperate.

This may be their Christmas present this year...

The fans were talking and depressed.

But in a flash, everyone suddenly cheered again, and the scene was very strange.

A long-lost figure appeared in the stands.

Cantona.

Their king appeared.

Manchester United King Cantona, who had a beard, sat in the stands.

“king!”

“king!”

Fans began to scream Cantona's name. The appearance of King Cantona made Manchester United fans temporarily forget the pressure brought by Chelsea's nine-point lead, and it seemed that their Kings could bring them courage and hope again.

Dong Fangzhuo had just walked out of the player's passage and looked up at the noisy crowd. Although it was impossible to see Cantona, the voices of the fans told him everything.

Manchester United's king.

Hearing such cheers, his mood became a little bit depressed and sad.

Because in those days, Chinese fans also called him King Dong.

But that's more of a ridicule, when did you become king?

He took a deep breath and raised his head again.

From the moment you step on the grass,

He wants to play King Dong’s game!
