Chapter 108
At the last moment of the game, the Colombian players were as listless and low-spirited as if they had been cut off. At the end of the game, the England team scored another goal.

The England team's 4-goal victory over Colombia can be regarded as stabilizing the image of Sky Sports' unscrupulous efforts, which in turn inflated the football bubble blown by the media.

After the game, Beckham drove his parents back to his home in London. Wembley Stadium is not far from home, so he stayed at home.

Tomorrow morning the club has a training session, which means he has to get up early and return home.

The other three Manchester United players simply greeted Beckham's parents and returned immediately. This is the itinerary of the national team members on the international match day.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

Until dinner time, Beckham's parents were still in a state of excitement.

Today is like a dream for them. Not only was their child selected for the England team, but they also scored such a wonderful goal at Wembley Stadium.

Ted Beckham looked very excited and wanted to share the scene of his son scoring a goal with everyone.

He played in the regional league when he was young, and he was able to play in the semi-professional league at his best, so he knows what this goal means to his son.

The family of five had a rare dinner together, and Beckham kept smiling while chatting with his family.

Since he left home for Manchester at the age of 15, the days when the family sits together for a meal have dwindled.

After a few more years, both the older sister and the younger sister have their own families, and there will be fewer and fewer occasions for the family to have dinner together.

The next day was bright, and Beckham drove back to Manchester after eating the breakfast prepared by his mother.

Old Ted said with a smile: "David, don't forget to leave us tickets when you arrive at Stamford Bridge in a few days!"

He seems to be asking his son for a ticket, but he is actually comforting his wife: In a few days, his son will come back.

Sandra was reluctant to part with her son, but still urged: "Let's go early, anyway, we can meet again in a few days!"

It took nearly 3 hours to drive from London to the Carrington training base. It was almost 6 o'clock, and Sandra could only urge her son to leave early.

Manchester United still have training sessions in the morning, the manager may not be allowed to leave, and the players have to be present at the beginning of training anyway.

It is an honor to play for England, but how England plays has little to do with Manchester United.

Not to mention serving the country, even if you are serving the earth, you must not be late for work.

Hugging his parents, Beckham drove back to Manchester alone.

There is family on one side, and dreams on the other. If you want to pursue your dreams, you have to leave home.

Although London is only a three-hour drive from Manchester, it still blocks Beckham and his family.

It is a tall and inspirational story for a person to leave his parents, play for the team he loves, and then realize his dream.

But the process of realizing my dream is not smooth sailing every day. When encountering difficulties, I will inevitably back down, and I will ask myself why I didn’t let the London team go, at least my parents are by my side.

At these times, Beckham will think of the reason for Manchester United.

Dad has been a Manchester United fan all his life, and he has always hoped that his son can become a member of Manchester United in the future.

As long as he thinks of this, Beckham's courage emerges.These years of hard work are not only for myself, but also for my family. This is the dream of two generations.

Thinking of this, the return journey will not be so bitter.

The more I appear in the live broadcast of the game, the less worry my parents will have.

The road was clear in the morning, and Beckham arrived at the Carrington training base before 9 o'clock, and bought a few newspapers on the way.

Beckham came out of the parking lot and ran into Ferguson head-on. After not seeing him for a few days, the old man's face turned ruddy a lot.

There was no club game on the international match day, so Ferguson rarely relaxed for a few days, and his spirit recovered a lot.

"Mr. Alex, how are you doing these days?"

"Except for Eric being injured, everything else is fine."

Ferguson came up and patted Beckham's desk: "David, I can see that you are doing well in the England team! Which one of these newspapers is true? I am so confused by these ghosts!"

Hearing that the head coach took the initiative to eat melons, Beckham couldn't help laughing, everyone has a heart for gossip, this is absolutely true, even a generation of famous coaches can't escape this rule.

Under normal circumstances, the old man's heart for gossip can be satisfied in the newspaper.

However, the situation of the England team on this international match day is a bit special. Various media have mixed opinions on the team's performance, and people are confused.

There is a big gap in the evaluation of the England team by many media. Those who blow water can blow them up to the sky, and the voices of criticism often put the team on the ground. There is a clear division when various media look at the England team.

The praise was for political correctness, and the criticism was for the conscience of the media. The media in both camps had something to say, and they were both confident, which made Ferguson unable to resist inquiring about inside information.

Beckham briefly explained the situation of the England team. Ferguson listened to Beckham's description in silence before he began to speak: "Terry's idea is correct. While there is still time, you should try more. At least you can't stick to the rules, otherwise you will be finished as soon as the big game comes!"

Ferguson still wanted to say something, but he hesitated and restrained himself. It may not be good to say things in depth, let the young people explore by themselves.

Beckham is back at the club, but the impact of his goals in the friendly is only starting to simmer.

Encountered this kind of magical turning point, all the media will not let it go.

It was Sky Sports TV who took the lead in the charge. During the week after the friendly match ended, they continuously broadcast the highlight highlights of the goals of the international match.

Goal highlights for football games, goal highlights for basketball games, goal highlights for rugby games, and even fishing competitions.

Not to mention others, after watching his own scoring video for a week in a row, Beckham almost lost his sense of honor, the number of repetitions is really too much.

Due to the immediacy of the paper media, major newspapers cannot toss Beckham's goal over and over again, so everyone racked their brains to report this goal from different angles.

A common report mode is to first describe the enthusiastic reaction of the fans at Wembley Stadium, and then do not explain why the fans did this, and directly let everyone watch Beckham’s childhood: “Many years later, standing at Wembley David Beckham will think of that distant afternoon when his father took him to see England's top flight."

Seeing this kind of article, Beckham was also very speechless. Who stipulated that playing for the England team must recall childhood?A player coming off the bench who has the leisure to reminisce about his childhood?
Every time he saw this kind of joke, Beckham would shake his head helplessly. The reporter who wrote this kind of vulgar joke didn't pay attention to observing life at all.

The moment a substitute player steps onto the lawn, he must run to his position like a hunting dog. He usually feels involuntarily nervous, and with the excessive secretion of adrenaline, he will often be particularly excited.

Many young players come on the field, either running wildly for 15 minutes to consume most of their physical energy, or receiving a red diamond card for the first defensive move, just like first love, most of them are young.

These articles often don't start talking until the end, and attracting attention basically depends on the headline party.

There are also some reports that are more technical. Comparing the wonderful goals of this year horizontally, and then comparing the goals of previous years vertically, and finally giving Beckham's goals a historical status, this way of labeling can easily make players shine.

It's just in case the player breaks everyone's existing impression, whether it is good or bad, it will allow fans who read that newspaper to re-establish their personality.

Among these news, what Beckham is most interested in is an article in the "Sun" entitled "Two Catastrophes in Higuita's Life".

This steady article does not introduce Beckham, but introduces Iguita. The beginning of the story focuses on the 1990/1 finals of the 8 World Cup. The greasy Colombian team and the domineering Cameroon team had no results for 90 minutes, and another 30 minutes of overtime.

As a result, Cameroon scored at the beginning of the overtime period. Colombia could only bite the bullet and push the defense to the midfield, leaving goalkeeper Iguita in the second half.

The later classic scene was born on this basis. The 40-year-old Uncle Mira snatched food from Higuita, leaving a stain that would never be erased in his life.

Because he was a child with the biggest drug lord in Colombia, Higuita continued to live after returning to China, and he was not at home like Escobar.

The report described Higuita's life and playing style in detail, and then turned the topic to the warm-up match.

The article firmly stated that without Beckham, Iguita's save will become an indispensable part of the football world.

But with Beckham's kick, Higuita's life will become part of the opponent's life history, and his disaster has created two good stories.

After reading the news, Beckham couldn't help nodding.

The writing is really good, why do I suddenly feel that I am also a famous person in the Jianghu.
