He is the same age as Ronaldo and is the only Chinese player to have won the Premier League and champions league titles so far. Born in Dalian, Liaoning Province, Dong Fangzhuo was born with a good body, strong body and amazing explosive power, which even Manchester United's meritorious manager Ferguson was praised. The talented Dong Fangzhuo was once considered to be the representative of Chinese football injured Zhongyong, and the only northeastern boy who won the Champions League but was not good at words also had his short and brilliant career.
In 2004, 19-year-old Dong Fangzhuo was bought by Manchester United for a high price of 3.5 million pounds, becoming the first Chinese player to officially sign for Manchester United. Dong Fangzhuo was loaned to Antwerp in Belgium shortly after arriving at Manchester United. At the age of 21, Dong Fangzhuo was already a Golden Boot in the Second League. After 16 years, he is still the only Chinese player to win the Golden Boot in the European Professional League, and 18 league goals in a single season are also the record for Chinese players in Europe. After returning to Manchester United with the Golden Boot, Dong Fangzhuo also began to have a record of appearances in the Premier League and The Champions League.
On 13 December 2007, the 22-year-old Dong Fangzhuo came on as a substitute in the final round of the Champions League group stage against Roma in Serie A, playing 18 minutes. Although this was his only appearance in the Champions League, this season Manchester United eventually met Chelsea in the Champions League final and won the penalty shootout to become champions. However, Dong Fangzhuo was forgotten because he did not make the final draft. It was not until many years later that Dong Fangzhuo said in an interview with the media that in the 2007-08 Champions League, UEFA had awarded him a medal. (According to the rules, as long as the players who have appeared in the entire season are eligible to receive medals) Therefore, Dong Fangzhuo is a veritable member of the Champions League championship team, and is the highest honor in The European Football Club Competition that year with famous stars such as C Ronaldo, Rooney and Giggs.
Dong Fangzhuo's physical fitness was indeed not inferior to C Luo's at that time, and his explosive power such as bouncing and acceleration was amazing. The moment of this picture records how well Dong Fangzhuo bounces when he competes for the top ball, is it reminiscent of a moment in C Ronaldo. Even if he can "lie on the championship" in the Champions League team, he needs to have superhuman ability. Dong Fangzhuo did not miss a good career prospect because of his lack of diligence, in fact, the most important reason was injury and his uncommunicative personality. The idea of laziness in the giants is indeed untenable, and Dong Fangzhuo has also worked tirelessly for his dream of staying abroad, and even the wandering Portugal, Poland and Armenia have not given up easily.
Today, Dong Fangzhuo has married and had children, and he has just become a father, but he has not completely left football, and still uses his experience to teach football skills to children. Dong Fangzhuo is not only the only Chinese player to win the Champions League, but also please do not forget that he is also the only goal scorer in the final round of the Chinese men's football team in the world series (World Cup, Olympic Games).
