From the time of warm-up at Old Trafford, Tang Hong could see Manchester United fans holding up slogans related to him in the stands.
There are those who read him, those who are grateful to him, those who welcome him, and those who are unable to forgive him!
In some Manchester United fans, they cannot forget the contributions Tang Hong made to the team and the personal records he personally created last season.
At the same time, a large number of fans can feel that Tang Hong does not love Manchester United and cannot forgive him for leaving.
In their eyes, Tang Hong used Manchester United as a stepping stone, which made Tang Hong appear at Old Trafford again look particularly dazzling.
It's better not to see you!
After the warm-up is over, he returns to the locker room for the final rest. The starters of the two teams line up in the Old Trafford channel to prepare for the game.
Manchester United's starting lineup is similar to when Tang Hong played last season. Except for the new player Fellaini, everyone else is his former teammate. Tang Hong and some people can nod and greet him, while some teammates ignore Tang Hong, such as captain Ferdinand and Giggs.
But players like De Gea, Rooney, and Valencia will say hello to Tang Hongdian.
No matter what, the biggest contributor to Manchester United's unprecedented glory last season was Tang Hong, and they also had a good relationship with Tang Hong on weekdays.
The referee team led the starters of the two teams to play together.
The familiar atmosphere in Old Trafford made Tang Hong a little dazed, but he quickly cheered up and gave up distracting thoughts.
While standing on the court for the kickoff ceremony, the Red Devils fans in the stands held up signs, and it seemed that there were far more people who did not welcome him back than those who welcomed him back!
After all, he only played for a year. He was not as worried as Ronaldo as his own child, nor did he have the DNA of the Red Devil like Beckham, and he was probably branded with the Red Devils when he died.
Perhaps looking back in a few years, Tang Hong is just a passerby of Manchester United. His career at Manchester United is just an acceleration from a star to a superstar. He wears a Dortmund jersey at the age of 20 and has a long road to superstars since then. He is destined to be the protagonist in his story.
Ferguson sat in the VIP seat with complicated eyes. He only accomplished one of the two things he wanted to do before retirement, that is, the third Champions League championship in his coaching career!
Another thing is to leave Manchester United a cornerstone of success in the next 5-10 years.
Unfortunately, he retired and Tang Hong left.
Although he was able to proudly believe that Tang Hong's departure was inseparable from his retirement, otherwise Tang Hong would not have had to include the automatic renewal clauses related to him in the contract back then.
But Tang Hong left after all.
If Tang Hong stayed, even if Moyes left a mess this year, at any stage after that, as long as the club built the team with Tang Hong as the core, it would only be a matter of time before Manchester United returned to glory, and Tang Hong himself would definitely be able to support Manchester United's decline bottom line.
But all this became a bubble.
Dortmund, who Tang Hong now plays for now, has started a "super mode" in Germany, competing for the two German superstars with Bayern Munich!
He is back and stronger!
In Ferguson's eyes, such players can't even hate them.
How many players can Rong Ma meet in his life like him?
On the other side of the VIP stands, Manchester United CEO Woodward looked serious. What troubles him now is when Moyes will be fired and who will be the next head coach.
The outside world criticized Manchester United for its poor signing. Fellaini, who signed a buzzer last summer, looked irrelevant, and the sky-high renewal of Rooney actually did not enhance Manchester United's combat effectiveness.
It’s not that Manchester United has no money, but whether it cooperates with Moyes to sign ups is questionable in his eyes. In other words, we must also see who will spend the money.
Moyes' vision and coaching achievements will not be convinced. If Manchester United's senior management had not followed Ferguson's "nothing order" to sign Moyes, even Woodward, who had previously been outside the football circle, would not have been able to rush to dig Moyes from Everton. His fame, achievements, and ability to see with his naked eyes were completely incompatible with Manchester United.
How could Moyes coach Manchester United in four championships?
But it was Moyes that Woodward took back the transfer power and it was not difficult.
Finally, he spent some money to deal with Moyes. Manchester United itself did not invest in the transfer market, because Tang Hong's departure also brought them a seemingly unhealthy but also considerable return.
Fleet Street's spearhead is Moyes, not him, Woodward. The turmoil caused by the handover of Manchester United's dynasty is expected. Woodward expects that after Moyes is dismissed, the work of rebuilding the dynasty will follow one after another. That is when he begins to play a more important role in the new era.
Tang Hong's return to Old Trafford this time has little impact on Woodward. After all, Mendes was not very disturbing last summer. The contract renewal offered by Manchester United for Tang Hong was already extremely generous, and it was better than the contract offered by Dortmund. However, Tang Hong finally chose to leave. The outside world does not think that Manchester United's approach is problematic.
But Woodward did not realize that the far-reaching impact of Tang Hong's departure was that Manchester United was losing its appeal to superstar players.
Today, Tang Hong returns to Old Trafford as an opponent. If Manchester United falls to Dortmund, will it really have no negative impact on Manchester United?
The Red Devils fans at Old Trafford naturally expect Manchester United to win the game at home today, even though they have been tortured by the disappointment brought by Moyes.
"Good evening for everyone, everyone. Welcome to the first leg of the 2013-2014 European Champions League 14 finals. The defending champion Red Devils Manchester United sits at home against Dortmund from the Bundesliga.
The two teams met in the semi-finals last season, and they played a classic goal battle in two rounds.
The two teams met again this season, which is a good opportunity for Dortmund to take revenge.
The defending champion Manchester United is likely to be out of the big four this season. They won all the championships they could win last season, but this season, their competitiveness has plummeted due to the change of coaches and the loss of stars.
Ferguson's retirement and Tang Hong's departure to join Dortmund can be said to have a double blow to Manchester United.
Manchester United was almost eliminated by Olympiacos in the last round of knockout matches. In this round, they may encounter Dortmund, who performed strongly.
Dortmund is still hard to lose in the Bundesliga, and he also made it easy to advance in the last round of knockout matches in the European game. In the first 90 minutes, the Russian Super League powerhouse St. Petersburg Zenit lost hope of advancement.
Today, when visiting Old Trafford, Dortmund must be looking forward to taking away the victory and laying the advantage of advancing to the semi-finals.
The starting lineup of both sides is introduced below.
Manchester United starts 4231.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Phil Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Butner.
Midfielders: Valencia, Carrick, Rooney, Fellaini, Giggs.
Forward: Weirbeck.
Van Persie's inability to play due to injury is a huge loss for Manchester United, but Shinji Kagawa is still sitting on the bench, which means Moyes still does not trust the Japanese midfielder.
Dortmund started 433 away.
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.
Defenders: Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.
Midfielder: Sven Bend, Mkhitaryan, Gundogan.
Forwards: Reus, Lewandowski, Tang Hong.
Dortmund's main players are intact and they attack strongly on the away game!
The pre-match kickoff ceremony has ended, so let’s see what kind of sparks will be created in this game.”
With the referee's whistle, the first leg battle between Dortmund and Manchester United's Champions League 14 final officially kicked off.
Manchester United took the lead in launching the offensive, and Giggs made a cross from the regular side attack. Subotic easily cleared the ball in the penalty area. Velbeck actively ran but failed to touch the ball.
After Manchester United's unthreatening offensive ended, it was Dortmund's turn to launch a fast break.
Gundoan and Mkhitaryan collided with the wall in front of the center circle and then passed the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area.
Lewandowski dribbled back and then dangled the ball from the angle to knock the ball across the side.
When Tang Hong touched the ball, Old Trafford was noisy and noisy, and it was hard to tell whether it was cheers or boos. Both were mixed together.
After leading the ball forward, Tang Hong faced Phil Jones with one step on the bike and pulled the ball back, but Phil Jones was still retreating.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, how strong Tang Hong is now, Phil Jones doesn’t know, but he knows that even Tang Hong was at this time last year, he couldn’t defend himself!
When Tang Hong's rhythm of ball control changed, he obviously failed to keep up, and was afraid of being broken through the defense line by Tang Hong and retreating in advance.
When he realized that his pace was wrong, he immediately rushed to grab it, Tang Hong passed the ball diagonally behind him.
Schmelzer flew past the side quickly, Phil Jones turned around immediately, and Tang Hong quickly cut in while turning around.
Schmelzer knocked the ball across the left side of the penalty area.
Tang Hong cut inside and stopped the ball and then stopped quickly and pivoted the ball towards the middle.
Ferdinand moved his center of gravity and blocked his cross-tangent line, but unexpectedly, Tang Hong spiked the ball to the bottom line and broke through and killed from the other side in the next second.
Ferdinand, who is already 35 years old, has significantly declined in form this season. Faced with Tang Hong's false change in direction, once the center of gravity is deceived, there is absolutely no chance to make up for the loss.
Tang Hong looked at the situation in the middle before cutting to the bottom line. Fellaini, the midfielder, returned to the penalty area and blocked Lewandowski with Subotic. Rooney also returned to the front of the penalty area to mark Mkhitaryan.
It seems that Manchester United has indeed further strengthened its defensive awareness under Moyes' training.
It may be that if the offense cannot be attacked and the defense is not strengthened, it will inevitably die without a burial place.
Tang Hong decisively shot, even if it was nearly zero angle, but he just looked up and observed without retracting his gaze for a moment and then shot!
The football rolled to the corner of the goal. De Gea was shocked and quickly pressed down the center of gravity and stretched out his legs to intercept it!
If you beat it slowly, the football will really roll into the goal against the inside of the near post!
When all the fans of the court saw that the football was blocked by De Gea's legs and left the baseline, they exclaimed one after another.
No one expected Tang Hong to shoot, but Tang Hong shot!
Chapter completed!
