Chapter 124 David is absent, Manchester United loses

Seeing the emaciated Bergkamp playing with Bart without even a temper, Ferguson instantly felt that he had lost more than 1000 million pounds.

Before coming to Arsenal, Bergkamp's life was not satisfactory.Under the huge gravity of the star black hole Inter Milan, he rejected AC Milan and Barcelona one after another as if his head was lowered.

During this period, Inter Milan was experiencing a "turbulent" period in the history of the club. The oil tycoon Moratti had a pure heart and wanted to turn Inter Milan into a European giant.

But Inter Milan in the 90s was like collecting an illustrated book of stars, buying good players at high prices, and then cleaning out the players if the team had no results, and then picked up a new card.

Serie A in this era belongs to Juventus and AC Milan. Even if the alien Ronaldo was signed, the poor Inter Milan has never been involved in a Serie A championship.

Only when Bergkamp came to Italy did he realize that it was not what he had imagined. The Italian football style did not suit him, and his teammates did not trust him.

After two unsatisfactory seasons, the sensitive Dutchman wants to leave Italy.

When it came to the summer transfer period, Bergkamp's agent began to send faxes to contact major clubs, trying to find a home for the player he represented.

Arsenal reacted immediately, snapping up the Dutchman for just £750m, with few rivals.

Ferguson also studied the player's profile at the time. He believed that Bergkamp, ​​who was thin and taciturn, could not adapt to the Premier League.

The Dutch are not good at interpersonal communication, and they can't handle the relationship with the media and teammates at all.

According to reliable information, the Dutchman has a phobia of airplanes. Upon receiving this news, Ferguson immediately dismissed the idea of ​​introducing Bergkamp.

750 million pounds to buy an otaku who dare not fly, is the club's money from the slingshot?
And Bergkamp's performance at the beginning of the season also verified Ferguson's guess. The Dutchman, who is good at playing shadow forwards and attacking midfielders, failed in the first seven rounds of the season, just like Arsenal's Cole.

Ferguson, who saw Bergkamp's data at the time, heaved a sigh of relief. Having Cole was already painful enough, and another Bergkamp would make the head coach live.

But what he didn't expect was that since the Dutch iron tree blossomed, the goal has never been broken, and he has scored 6 goals so far.

Seeing Bergkamp playing Manchester United's midfielders around on the field, Ferguson suddenly felt a little bit lemony.

When Bergkamp's parents were young, the Red Devils were making waves in Europe and harvested many Dutch fans.

At the beginning of the season, Ferguson speculated that as long as he made a shot, the Dutchman would abandon Arsenal in minutes and come to his armpit obediently.

Just look at his name: Dennis Bergkamp.

His parents didn't think much of it when they named him. They copied the name of Red Devils star Dennis Owen and gave the child a "hukou".

This means that United's acquisition of Bergkamp is as easy as picking dog rosehips from their own garden.

Well now, cheap Arsenal.

Just when Ferguson was angry with himself and had trouble with himself, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

The Arsenal left-back made a brainless clearance under Lee Sharp's pressure and kicked the football directly to the left of Manchester United's defense.

Watching the left-back Irvine easily unload the long pass with his chest, Ferguson complained angrily to the Arsenal players: "Stupids do stupid things!"

But as soon as his words fell, something went wrong on the field. When Irwin used his feet to control the unloaded football, he suddenly stumbled under his feet and stopped the football behind him.

The moment he made the mistake, Bergkamp rushed towards the ball, touching it almost at the same time as David May, who had replaced Pallister.

The Dutchman's kick was faster. He wanted to poke the football between the legs of the Manchester United defender. The latter's reaction was not slow, and he immediately tightened his legs.

Manchester United's central defender has done quite well in this wave of operations. If he encounters an England frontcourt player, this will definitely be a successful defense.

It's a pity that he met Bergkamp. The Dutchman pulled the football back when he touched the ball with his left foot, and then waded the ball to the right side of David May's body.

After passing the Manchester United centre-back, Bergkamp faced Schmeichel directly, and without waiting for the opponent to make a move, he directly curled a ball with the inside of his left foot.

The football goes around the goalkeeper and goes straight to the far corner of the goal.

1-0, Arsenal took the lead in the opening 23 minutes.

Seeing the Dutchman's brilliant moves, Ferguson just wants to come in and kill Irwin who made a mistake just now: "This stupid thing, why did you make a mistake at this time?"

With Bergkamp's goal, the entire Highbury Stadium exploded. The ball was stolen and scored in less than ten seconds, which can be regarded as a classic case of counter-robbing in the frontcourt.

The Dutchman's series of operations before scoring a goal feasted the eyes of Arsenal fans. After so many years of long passes, they finally saw technical football.

After conceding the goal, Manchester United launched a counterattack immediately, while Arsenal's formation shrunk, waiting for Manchester United to drill into the pocket, and from time to time they would play a high-quality counterattack.

Arsenal's five defensive backs headed by Adams performed very steadily in the subsequent games, firmly maintaining their advantage until the end of the game.

0 to 1, Manchester United, which has been unbeaten in 10 rounds, lost again after more than two months.

Sitting in front of the TV, Beckham complained about the Manchester United game with John Sr. while watching the game: "I didn't expect us to end our ten-game unbeaten run in this way. It's ridiculous."

On the other side of the TV, Nick looked at the 0-1 score and shook his head helplessly, then went back to turn on the computer and started writing again.

Before this game, he had just said in his pre-match prediction that Beckham would be the player who decides the outcome of the game.The reason is that Arsenal's defense is very solid, and it is very difficult for any opponent to score from them in a mobile game.

Set kicks can threaten Arsenal's goal to the greatest extent, and everyone is equal before free kicks. Even a player with excellent defensive ability can hardly play a role in defending free kicks.

At this time, the game field is completely the attacking side's market. Whether a goal can be scored or not is determined by the penalty player, and the defensive side can only defend passively.

On the second day after the game ended, a small piece of news "David's Manchester United ended unbeaten gold" appeared in the sports section of "The Sun".

This report from Nick's hand emphasizes one thing with simplicity: Beckham is absent, Manchester United is kneeling.

The article stated that in the games where Beckham was absent or came off the bench, Manchester United had 1 win and 3 losses, with a winning rate of only a poor 25%. In the games where he was the main player at home, Manchester United's record was 8 wins and 3 draws, remaining unbeaten.

Since the scandal between Beckham and Sophie Marceau broke out, Nick has become a public supporter of Beckham. As long as it is the news written by him, every piece of news must praise Beckham explicitly and secretly, which has no objectivity at all.

However, it is not surprising that his news is placed in the "Sun". In the eyes of many journalists, this newspaper has no objectivity at all.

本轮的其他比赛中，纽卡斯尔联队2比1战胜利物浦，在积分榜以10胜1平1负的战绩积31分，扩大了领先优势。

With the arrival of the international match day, Beckham was once again selected for the England squad, and their opponents in the warm-up match are still two strong teams.
