Wang Xiaodong passed the physical examination safely. In addition to the warm-up matches, the club will also take some players out for interviews or to attend some variety shows.
Raiola found a "good job" for Wang Xiaodong. He participated in a Pepsi football commercial.
So these days, Wang Xiaodong's life was not boring, on the contrary, it was very fulfilling.
After passing the physical examination, Wang Xiaodong scored three goals and two assists in four warm-up matches. With his excellent performance, he is fully qualified to start in the upcoming Community Shield.
Modric was safely discharged from the hospital after hanging up several bottles of water. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he was warmly welcomed by the "Tottenham genius trio", and the Silver Horn King also smoothly integrated into their small circle.
Although he only participated in one warm-up match, the Silver Horn King's passes and shots still conquered Martin Joel and the fans who came to watch the game.
No matter what, the club spent more than 20 million to buy this guy, so of course he should use it if he can!
The worst thing was Lennon. Although this kid was the weakest guy in the Ice Bucket Challenge, he was the only one who caught a cold.
For this reason, Martin Joel directly gave him a week's leave, just because he was afraid that he would affect other team members.
When he returned to the court, he only participated in the last warm-up match. After being replaced, he played hastily for more than ten minutes and the game ended. Needless to say, the opportunity to start the Community Shield was lost directly.
The only thing he can fight for now is the Community Shield game squad.
Martin Joel gave strict orders to several people. Before the game, they must never cause any more trouble!
If anyone behaves inappropriately again, he will be suspended from the team for five games and will not be spared!
...
On August 5, the renovated Wembley Stadium ushered in its first Community Shield game after its "rebirth".
As the opening game of the Premier League season, the Community Shield is a match between the league champions and the FA Cup champions of last season.
The championship trophy is not a trophy, but a shield.
The England Charity Shield was founded in 1908. Its predecessor was the London Sheriff (De Waal) Shield, which was founded in 1898.
The Football Association selects two teams for a contest every year. If the team was the double champion last season, the match will be changed to the Premier League champion VS runner-up.
In 2002, the British government pointed out in a report that the Football Association had violated regulations on the use of funds when using the income from the Charity Shield.
The Charity Shield has since been forced to be renamed the Community Shield.
Of course, Wang Xiaodong couldn't understand the cause and effect relationship during this period. Can changing the name make it less charitable?
Is it okay to misuse the income?
The way Westerners think is different!
The two sides of this Community Shield are league champion Manchester United and FA Cup champion Tottenham Hotspur. As the top player in the Premier League, Manchester United's news is naturally more eye-catching.
As for Manchester United, the most concerning news is that Dong Fangzhuo has just returned to the team.
This guy not only tied for the Golden Boot with Wang Xiaodong in the Asian Cup, but also took home the title of Asian Cup champion.
Such a player is already qualified to become the Red Devils' starting forward.
The most important thing is that in the just-concluded warm-up match, Manchester United defeated the English second-division team Peterborough 3-1, and all three goals were related to Dong Fangzhuo.
Dong Fangzhuo's last goal for Manchester United dates back to the game against the South African Pirates in July last year. When he scored the winning goal, Sky Sports directly called him "King Dong".
In the match against Peterborough, Dong Fangzhuo helped Manchester United score three goals in a row. Surprised fans immediately cheered on Manchester United's official forum: "King Dong is back."
Manchester United's official website also spoke highly of Dong Fangzhuo after the game, "Dong's brilliance completely overshadowed Hargreaves. He attracted people's attention with his outstanding skills. This goal has the style of Ronaldo. It’s really shocking.”
"It's hard to think that an Asian Cup will make a player improve so much, but we have to admit that Dong already has the qualifications to become a new Manchester United star."
When the news spread back to China, there was also joy in the country.
On the official website of Manchester United in China, a fan even posted an original cartoon of his own.
The title of the cartoon is: Congratulations to Wang Dong for breaking the goal drought.
In the cartoon, King Dong is wearing a Manchester United uniform and standing on the pitch.
A puddle of beaten eggs was painted on his forehead, as if someone were frying poached eggs on his broad forehead.
Under his feet were two broken eggshells, with the word "英二" written on them respectively.
The text accompanying the picture is: Congratulations to Wang Dong for breaking the "zero egg", but don't forget: the goal is beautiful, but the opponent is weak.
Such a cartoon not only expresses blessings to Wang Dong, but also reminds him not to be proud.
The Premier League in the new season is not something that a League Two team can compare to.
Sir Alex Ferguson also said in the post-match interview that he had told Xiao Dong that he hoped he would be patient and that Manchester United would slowly give their "new king" a chance.
The most interesting thing is that before the Manchester United bus returned to the club after the warm-up match, Dong Fangzhuo left a "novel" signature for a Chinese fan.
It can be found from the signatures displayed by the fans that Dong Fangzhuo changed his "Fang" character to "Fang". According to him, this was the advice Dong Fangzhuo got after consulting an expert - this not only allows for more signatures It has become more beautiful, and also has the meaning of "liufang" and "fangming", which means that the development of "Dong Fangzhuo" in the UK will reach a higher level.
I have to admit that this expert does have some "read" insights into Chinese culture. Of course, it would be better if he understood what "clumsy" means.
The reason why Manchester United made such a fuss about this matter is of course with the beautiful idea of "using my leadership to attack your winter".
Wang Xiaodong set off a wave of "China fever" at Tottenham last season. When fans saw that Chinese players could also defeat enemies in the Premier League and be invincible, they couldn't help but yearn for the big Eastern country.
China is not a football desert. China has always had no shortage of talented players. The difference is how to discover them and give them the growth they deserve.
Wang Xiaodong is the most typical example.
Although his major was not football when he was at Nanwei College, he got all the basic training about football. Even now, he still brings his childhood rugby style to the football field.
Dong Fangzhuo has been in Europe for so many years. His progress is obvious to all, and he may not be able to be cultivated into a first-class star.
After Ruud van Nistelrooy left, Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed a lineup with Lu Xiaopang and Cristiano Ronaldo as the core of the offense, but from the midfielder to the forward line, there is still a lack of 1 or 2 other players.
It is not yet known whether this position will be filled by veteran Giggs, Tevez who is about to join the team, or whether it will be filled by King Dong who just won the Asian Cup Golden Boot.
Tevez's joining date is August 10th, which cannot catch up with this Community Shield. Therefore, in the eyes of some domestic fans, this game is called a good opportunity for Wang Dong.
Just like Sir Alex Ferguson said in an interview before, after confirming Tevez's joining, the reporter asked Sir Alex Ferguson: "How to match Manchester United's striker. Is it 442? Or 4231?"
But Sir Alex Ferguson's answer was clever: "Manchester United's formation will no longer be so important in the new season. The offensive combination will revolve around Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldinho and Giggs."
After hearing this point of view, the reporter asked again: "The lethality brought by Giggs and Ronaldo on both sides has been proved last season. The problem now is that Tevez and Rooney, two players with such similar technical characteristics, Can the forwards have successful chemistry?"
"I have read countless similar opinions, saying that the two of them are too similar." Sir Alex seemed a little impatient with this question, "What you are saying is that both are equally strong, both have equally good feet, and both are very fast. , both are better than others—could such similarity be a bad thing?”
"Wouldn't it be better when they play together and quickly build mutual understanding and find their place?"
"And I just said that the plan at the beginning of the season is like this, but we will continue to trial and error and make adjustments as the league progresses. And Manchester United also has forwards with other characteristics for us to use, whether it is Hargreaves or Dong , they all have the potential to become Manchester United’s main striker.”
At the pre-match press conference, when Sir Alex Ferguson announced the roster, the media and fans finally became excited.
Good guy, this time the manuscript I wrote in advance was finally in vain.
"Asia Cup Golden Boot Derby?"
This topic will definitely catch the attention of fans!
