Chapter 127 Is This Still David?

When Beckham and Gary Neville dragged their tired bodies back to the club from the England team, they suddenly found that the wind direction of the English media had changed.

After Manchester United lost to Arsenal, Newcastle United coach Kevin Keegan commented on the game in front of the media: "Manchester United is still an excellent team, but I am afraid it cannot be compared with the league champions two years ago.

Relying on the excellent performance of young players, their current ranking is good, but the performance of young players is not stable. They may perform well in one game and perform poorly in another game. This situation has happened to them more than once.

As far as I know, the lads at Manchester United are very afraid of attacking players with impact, and this kind of game is not easy for them. "

The head coaches of the Premier League are all like this. When disgusting others, they try to pretend to be calm and objective.

Translating Keegan's comments into human words means nothing more than two meanings: first, the young players of the Manchester United team are not worth it, and relying on these little guys to play the country will sooner or later have diarrhea.Second, when everyone played Manchester United, they put all the players with strong impact on them, and they must be used for safekeeping.

As Manchester United's main competitor, Keegan's meaning couldn't be simpler. He just wanted Manchester United to lose more points when they played against other teams. As long as the only competitor falls behind, it is only a matter of time before Newcastle United wins the championship.

And Ferguson did not respond to Keegan's little trick at all, and still supervised the team's training work step by step.

The current Newcastle United has a record of 12 wins, 10 draw and 1 loss in the first 1 rounds of the league, and it is in full swing.

Considering that Manchester United has not had a direct confrontation with this old opponent recently, and the opponent is in a strong period, Ferguson simply ignored the opponent.

He allowed Keegan to preach and let his opponents take the initiative to attack Manchester United.

Manchester United's opponents in the last two rounds of the league are Southampton and Coventry, two downstream teams in the Premier League.

When playing against such a team, Ferguson is afraid that the opponent will bus him and play shamelessly. This kind of game is a difficult problem that the whole world cannot solve.

In the Premier League, if a team tries to secure 1 point at the cost of giving up victory, even Newcastle United cannot guarantee victory, and the game will often end in a draw.

But if the desire to win is given to the downstream teams, the game will be much simpler.

After all, they are at the lower level, and once they want to win, they will have more loopholes.

Ferguson just ignored Keegan because of this. This might make other opponents feel that Manchester United's morale is low and the head coach has a guilty conscience.

On November 11, Manchester United ushered in the "Saints" at home.

During the warm-up before the game, Beckham and Gary stood at a distance of less than 2 or [-] meters and kept passing short distances.

In Manchester in November, players are no longer allowed to show off their footwork on the court. As long as the sun is out, the whole city will be humid and cold.

Beckham wore a coat while warming up, while Gary Neville simply wore a thin sweater and complained while running: "The climate in the UK is really terrible. The sky is not blue, and the sea is not blue. It is hell when the sun is out."

After hearing Gary's words, Beckham suddenly remembered the scene of the family on the beach in Malta during the offseason last year.

The sky there is so blue, and the sea is so blue. It is really pleasant to swim back and forth in the sea, and then lazily bask in the sun for an afternoon.

The fond memory of the beach made Beckham smile, and Gary Neville was a little surprised: "This madman can laugh in this weather."

In the dressing room, Ferguson reminded the players: "I have a hunch that Southampton will attack us in the opening game. This is a crisis, but more of an opportunity.

I ask you to pay attention from the first second of the opening, and seize the opportunity as soon as possible! "

The Manchester United players were dubious about Ferguson's words, but when they saw the Southampton players gearing up in the player tunnel, everyone was convinced.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Southampton's striker passed the ball directly to the backcourt, and then 4 to 5 players rushed towards Manchester United's frontcourt.

With Ferguson's reminder, the Manchester United players entered the state at the beginning of the game. Cole rushed to the central defender desperately and consciously blocked his right side.

In the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, the right backs are generally good at long passes, while the left side is usually of average strength, and the left back may be a right-footed player.

As soon as Southampton's left-back stopped the ball, Beckham stood in front of him.

He didn't take Beckham seriously. Although the opponent was selected for the national team twice in a row, he didn't rely on defense. The Southampton left back made a gesture to make a long pass. When Beckham pounced, he chose to dribble the ball laterally.

Seeing the other party's fake fax tape, Beckham was very happy.

Coincidentally, I am also a fake action.

Just when the Southampton left back snorted coldly, Beckham suddenly rushed to the opponent's dribbling line and stuck the left back tightly behind him.

The Southampton players were still running forward, but the football was cut off in the backcourt, and they hurried back to defend.

Beckham takes a sharp step forward, throws the defender out of the way, and looks into the box.

At this time, both Cantona and Cole had already reached, and Beckham aimed at the Frenchman and passed.

The Southampton goalkeeper predicted the ball was passed to Cantona and rushed out.

But Beckham's pass flew over the heads of the players in the middle and fell to the back point.

Giggs on the left did not adjust and directly tackled the shot. The goalkeeper watched the football roll into the goal.

"This goal took only 15 seconds, creating the record for the fastest goal in the Premier League!"

The host of Old Trafford reported this exciting news immediately, and the fans cheered all of a sudden.

The Southampton team, which suffered a blow at the beginning, was stunned all of a sudden, but Manchester United did not intend to stop after taking the lead.

Just 3 minutes later, Giggs made another successful steal in the frontcourt. Before the frantic defenders surrounded him, he transferred the ball laterally to Beckham's feet on the right.

Beckham took the ball and suddenly accelerated. There was only Southampton's left back in front of him, and the opponent's center was already empty.

He glanced at the middle, changed the line to the outside, and filled the fake action of the bottom pass, waiting for the opponent to take the bait.

Southampton's left-back didn't hesitate to bite the hook. He rushed to the outside line, also wanting to fight back and block the opponent's route.

Just as he changed direction to the outside, Beckham suddenly twisted his wrist and dialed the football left into the opponent's penalty area.

Beckham took a step forward and faced the goalkeeper directly, while the Southampton left-back simply stopped chasing.

As soon as the Southampton goalkeeper took a step, Beckham raised his leg and twitched the upper corner.

The goalkeeper missed the save and watched the football fly into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

Beckham actually used his personal ability to trick the defender!

Seeing him count the defenders like a South American player, and then blast the football into the goal like a European heavy gunner, the Manchester United fans in the stadium were not calm.

All the fans sang "You are my sunshine" which was specially adapted for Beckham

Even Ferguson jumped up chewing gum: "Is this still David?"
