On January 12, 2022, in a live video, former Manchester United player and teammate Dong Fangzhuo of C Luo was asked: "Someone always says: Dong Fangzhuo, you didn't play out?" ”
The former national football team replied: "If my football road is not smooth, there are really few smoother in China!" —— Really, I was just too smooth, I went directly to the air runway, I added two rockets behind me, almost broke through the atmosphere, why is this still smooth? ”
"I went all the way, didn't spend a penny, and then went to Manchester United, how many people do you say want to spend money, let alone go to Manchester United, you can't go to a professional team, as an Asian player, how many are as smooth as me? Few people in Brazil can go to Manchester United like this."
"Don't say I didn't kick out, as a player, I can play in a professional team, play a game, absolutely kick out!" - Just to say that we didn't reach the highest peak, it was just that the talent was not fully realized. No matter what level of league, just play to the professional team, even if it is kicked out."
……
In 2004, when Dong Fangzhuo was 19 years old, because of his outstanding ability and talent, he was favored by manchester United's meritorious coach Ferguson, becoming the first Chinese player to join the super giants of Europe's five major leagues.
In fact, just by virtue of this, Dong Fangzhuo, as a Chinese football player, is enough for him to blow for a lifetime! After all, Chinese football has always been a depression in world football, and so far, it is still the only football player in China to enter the European giants, Dong Fangzhuo said the above paragraph, in fact, he still has the capital to blow this "big bull".
However, why has there always been the saying that "Dong Fangzhuo did not kick out"? ——In fact, a careful analysis can be understood: Dong Fangzhuo's answer here is actually a bit of a "stealing concept"!
In fact, the fans' claim that "Dong Fangzhuo did not kick out" does not mean that Dong Fangzhuo did not play out in China, obviously, he was already the best among the Chinese players of that year - but now when people discuss this point of view, it is obvious that "Dong Fangzhuo did not kick out in Manchester United", and even "Dong Fangzhuo did not kick out when he went abroad to play"!
When Dong Fangzhuo answered this question, he actually avoided the truth, or expanded the scope of what fans called "did not kick out", although dong Fangzhuo seems to be quite reasonable now, but if you want to ask Dong Fangzhuo "Are you playing at Manchester United", then he is not very good to answer, right?
Because, after Dong Fangzhuo arrived at Manchester United, he basically stayed in the youth reserve team, and then because of his average performance, Manchester United loaned him to the Belgian league, he did not play a few games in the first division, the team was relegated, and could only play in the Belgian second division.
It should be said that Dong Fangzhuo's highest moment in his career in Yangyang, or can say a sentence "I kicked out", can only be regarded as in the second division, he scored 18 goals in this lower league, becoming the best shot, and was thus brought back to the Manchester United team by Ferguson.
However, Dong Fangzhuo only represented the First Team of Manchester United in 3 official games, but did not score 1 goal, although he became Ronaldo's teammate since then, but in the end, Manchester United terminated his contract.
After returning to China, Dong Fangzhuo was obviously unwilling, he did not want to play in the country, and went to the leagues of Poland and Portugal, but he did not stay long, nor did he play many games, because it was difficult to adapt and poor performance, he returned to China and began to slowly fade out of the stadium.
The greatest teammate in Dong Fangzhuo's career, C Luo, who is the same age as him, is still in peak condition and has returned to play at Manchester United, but Dong Fangzhuo himself has officially retired for nearly a decade!
Of course, the blow of injuries to him is one of the important reasons. In 2008, Dong Fangzhuo scored the first goal in the history of the Chinese men's olympic team, which was his most eye-catching performance in the national team. However, Dong Fangzhuo made a total of 13 appearances for the national football team, but also scored this 1 goal, and since then due to injury, he has begun to decline sharply.
After returning to China again, Dong Fangzhuo seems to be a little less disciplined, and when he watched the ball on the court, he was photographed with a bloated body, so he was called: Dong Fangzhuo has no "Fang" and has begun to become Dong Zhuo!
Although in terms of talent, speed and goal ability, Dong Fangzhuo can be called one of the top figures in the history of Chinese football, but because of experience, learning ability, injury and self-discipline, it is true that Dong Fangzhuo himself said that he "did not fully realize his talent"!
Therefore, if you only take the level and standard of Chinese football to look at Dong Fangzhuo, he certainly deserves the phrase "kicked out", and even as he said, "even few people in Brazil can enter Manchester United like him"; "almost broke through the atmosphere" - such a big word, it can also be bragged.
However, if we look at the psychological expectations of Chinese fans, especially in the five major leagues in Europe, or on platforms such as Manchester United, it is still a reality to say that Dong Fangzhuo "did not play abroad to play football".
In this regard, it can be said that Dong Fangzhuo is not as good as Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi and Yang Chen, who also play abroad, and it can even be said that it is not as good as Wu Lei, who can now score a goal in Barcelona in La Liga and has scored goals in the five major leagues and the Europa League, and is more worthy of the phrase "played out when he stayed in Europe", right?
This is obviously what the standard you hold when looking at the problem! If you are sitting at the bottom of the well, of course, you will see the sky equal to the size of the bottom of the well; but when you jump out of the bottom of the well, you will feel that the atmosphere is still far away.
If you fly under the sky to see the well underground, you will know even more: the place where you used to stay was so small! 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
