　　With Dong Fangzhuo and Alan Smith up front. It’s Dong’s first appearance – his first competitive appearance for Manchester United – and Dong, Eagles and Lee are all starting a Premiership match for the first time.

　　Neil: Dong played up front with Alan Smith. To play up front.

　　Jean: Up front. 这是踢前锋的一个口语说法。

　　Neil: It was his first competitive appearance for Manchester United. It means he’s only played training games and reserve team games before.

　　Jean: 这是他代表曼联正式参加比赛。就是说在此之前他都是踢训练赛，总是一名候补队员。

　　Neil: But he wasn’t the only player in his first premiership game. Two others called Eagles and Lee had their debut. Listen again.

　　Jean: Why did so many players get a debut?

　　Neil: Because Manchester United had already won the Premiership title. It means it didn’t really matter if they lost the game, so they tried players who don’t usually get a chance to play. It’s good experience for them.
