Chapter 109 Be careful of being tricked
With his goal against Colombia, Beckham has been on the radar of world football for almost a week.

All countries that can watch TV have seen Beckham kill Higuita's quadruple two with double kings. The first impression of professional football for many ordinary people who have never seen the European League or live in dire straits is from Beckham.

When the Internet age has not yet arrived, this wave of enthusiasm is already very powerful.Manchester United received interview applications for Beckham every day, which made Ferguson a little upset.

Although Manchester United ranked second in the league with 8 wins, 6 draw and 1 loss in the first 1 rounds of the league, with 19 points, far exceeding everyone's expectations, Ferguson is still not very happy these two days.

The reason is that in order to help "King" Cantona recover as soon as possible, Ferguson let the Frenchman participate in a reserve team match on the international match day.

Beckham heard from Scholes that Cantona was very active in the first half. He was in a very good position several times, but none of his teammates passed him.

So Ferguson scolded everyone during the intermission, so in the second half Cantona just raised his hand and someone passed the ball immediately.

But here lies the problem. The more Cantona got the ball, the more anxious he was to get back to his form. As a result, he injured himself while fighting with the opponent's midfielder.

Scholes vividly described the scene at that time: "Eric rolled on the ground with his hands on his knees, and the old man was so frightened that he sat up from the chair and ran to the field. His face was frightened, and even his rosacea was white!"

Beckham was disgusted by Scholes' detailed description, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal the other party to stop talking. Thinking of the old man's rosacea, he didn't even plan to eat dinner.

Dave later confirmed that Cantona would be resting for a week, which meant the Frenchman had to miss the Manchester derby.

Knowing that Cantona's injury is not serious, everyone is relieved. In other games, I dare not say that killing Manchester City is still a certainty.

In the first ten years since the start of the Premier League, Manchester City did not have much competitiveness in the league, and even stayed in the League One (English Championship) for a long time.

This season, Manchester City has 8 draw and 1 losses in the first 7 rounds. Not only is it at the bottom of the standings, but it is also widened by the bottom No.2.

For the Manchester United team, the rival in the same city during this period was a country cousin, who was neither knowledgeable nor wealthy, rustic and rustic, and even survival became a problem.

Manchester United is still ready to join hands and push their city rivals to League One.

As the birthplace of modern football, England has established hundreds of clubs in the last century. Some of these clubs merged, some split, and some relocated, but the history can continue.

In the current professional league, if a club has a history of less than 100 years, it is ashamed to say that it has a long history.

The first Manchester derby dates back to November 1881, 11. At that time, the relationship between the two teams was relatively pure, and the game was played harmoniously.

And Manchester people don't have too serious a tendency, whichever team they play, they support that team.

The phenomenon of a fan picking the two clubs "died" in World War II. With the end of the war, the hostility between the two clubs became stronger and stronger, and the Manchester City people began to choose to stand.

The majority of Manchester City in the East supports Manchester City, while the West supports Manchester United. The local support of the two clubs is basically the same, but the popularity of Manchester United in overseas markets is much higher than that of Manchester City.

Even many fans know Manchester City because they watched the Manchester derby. In the international market, Manchester City was completely blown by Manchester United.

But in the 70s, the two clubs were basically in a state of rivalry. In order to prove that they were the best in the city, the two clubs became more and more competitive when they played. The players acted in the game and the fans acted outside the field.

In a game, George Best directly used a rough tackle to tackle the ankle of a Manchester City player. When the player was sent to the hospital, the doctor thought it needed amputation.

This incident caused the two clubs to form a feud, and four years later, Manchester City's victory in the penultimate round of the league directly led to Manchester United's relegation. It happened that Dennis Law, who scored the goal, had just switched from Manchester United to Manchester City that season.

Manchester United's relegation, Dennis Law's "betrayal" and Manchester City fans' celebration, the two clubs are at odds.

As is the case with most city derbies, the two clubs got off to a good start, but over time the animosity grew as the bullshit was spread out.

Many fans outside the UK can't empathize. Before the 21st century, many fans liked both Manchester United and Liverpool. Later, with the development of the Internet, they pretended to distinguish between camps and scolded each other.

This time Manchester United did not plan to let the cousin go. They were once pushed off the cliff by each other. This time is the best time for revenge.

As the Manchester Derby approached, the local media hyped the game into a war without gunpowder.

When the news media is constantly exaggerating the atmosphere, I am afraid that the two teams will not fight.

Ferguson was relatively quiet. He neither launched psychological warfare nor prepared to send out the main force.

Neither Beckham nor Gary Neville made the starting roster, and the younger brother didn't even make the big roster.

As for the last place in the league, Manchester United didn't care too much, as long as they could win.

Manchester United, which sent half of the main force, scored in just 4 minutes of the opening. Scholes got a pass from Cole in the penalty area and made a burst. He scored 7 goals in all competitions, which is Manchester United. Top scorer of the season.

After the goal, the Manchester United team rubbed Manchester City on the ground. The players of the visiting team hadn't tasted the taste of victory after playing for more than two months this season. As soon as they lost the ball, their morale was completely gone.

The morale of the Manchester United team is good. After scoring a goal, they have been pressing their opponents in the half. Everyone hopes that Cole can break the scoring drought through this game. He has not scored in half a year.

As the main starter this season, Cole is a player with all-round abilities.He has nothing to say about his personal ability and ability to pass and control the ball on the field. The team's first goal was to block the defender and feed Scholes.

But when his teammates fed him the cake, he couldn't swallow it. Either he couldn't shoot, or the Manchester City goalkeeper was too good. In short, another scoring drought continued.

Beckham told Old John about the situation of the England team immediately after returning home, probably because the Beckham of that world was not selected for the England team at this time, so John asked a lot of questions, showing the attitude that a die-hard fan should have.

Especially after he knew that Beckham smashed Higuita's save of the century with a world wave, he was ecstatic, and he could see the other party's excitement just through the words.

Old John said excitedly: "The significance of this goal will far exceed your imagination. Many people will know you because of this goal. I really didn't expect you to successfully seize this opportunity. It is really great."

Beckham felt that way. Although this was his first goal in an official game in England, he didn't feel much about it. After all, no one really did it in a friendly game. The game was to test tactics and observe the players.

Just after the game against Manchester City, Beckham received a call from home, asking him to help him get 10 tickets.

4 people need 10 tickets, this is to turn the seat into a sleeper!

Beckham complained in his heart, and then started to complete political tasks. His parents must want to get some tickets for their friends.

Okay, it's not difficult. Every club in these games can get some tickets, so it's basically no problem to open your mouth early.

He suddenly remembered a passage from Biography, which said that Beckham met Victoria for the first time at Stamford Bridge.

I have to pay attention, I absolutely can't let these people take advantage of the loopholes to give me a routine, the Beckham of that world is a lesson.
