Chapter 135 The Remnant Formation Is Too Difficult

Just after November, the title of the best player of the month has become a hot topic among everyone.

The jury composed of experts from the Premier League and celebrities have expressed their opinions in the media.

"Alan Shearer has been very dominant this month. He scored four goals against Nottingham Forest and killed the game himself. If it weren't for Blackburn's poor results, he must be the biggest favorite for the player of the season."

"Robbie Fowler is Liverpool's offensive promoter. He was the team's most threatening person in the two strong dialogues. He was very threatening."

"The 20-year-old David Beckham has become the main force of the Manchester United team this season. He has made great progress in the previous games. When the time entered November, he suddenly showed everyone a blowout explosion.

"David scored 11 goals and assisted 4 time in four games in November. He took the lead in two four-goal wins over opponents. In the game against Nottingham Forest, he created a precious penalty for the team at the last moment. In the game against Chelsea, he broke through the blockade of the entire Chelsea team with his own strength, and once again helped Manchester United draw with the opponent."

On days when there are no competitions, Bricks and Beasts will be invited to various programs or express their opinions on various media. These hysterical guys will not stop until the winner of the award is announced.

But in November, the selection of the best player of the month did not seem to be so tangled. Except for Beckham, the other candidates either had poor team results or their own statistics were not good.

The only player who can balance personal data and team performance at the same time is Beckham.

On December 12, the award for the best player in November was finally announced.

David Beckham won November's Player of the Month in a landslide.

The Premier League used Beckham's photo as the cover on the official website, and also attached the reasons for winning the award.

大卫.贝克汉姆11月出场4次，贡献4个进球和1次助攻，帮助曼联队在积分榜上咬住了领头羊纽卡斯尔联队，他的球队在这个月获得了2胜2平的战绩。

Among them, in the game against Chelsea, he scored an equalizer goal for the team.Especially when the opponent scored a goal, he passed the opponent's entire defense alone after re-serving and scored. This is an incredible goal.

Finally, congratulations again to David for winning the Player of the Month in November!
In the game against Sheffield Wednesday, Beckham took over the crystal trophy officially issued by the Premier League at Old Trafford.

Looking back and forth at the trophy, Beckham now finally understands the true meaning of honor over material.

His only permanent reward for winning the best player is this crystal trophy. In addition, the reporter commissioned by the Premier League organizing committee took 10 minutes to take a cover photo.

He finally understands why even Fowler can calmly accept that the best player is not himself, and he can bless him in front of the media by the way. This award is so loving.

Of course, this only represents the thoughts of the players. The fans at Old Trafford were very happy and sang "You are my sunshine" for him again.

It's okay, since 5 people have given him face, he has to carry it around. This is the first honor in his life, so he should be happy.

Thinking of this, Beckham stopped complaining, picked up the trophy and walked around the court, and got another wave of cheers.

not bad!
The cheers of the fans made Beckham very satisfied, but after the game started, he was forced to do errands.

The Manchester United team has definitely been lowered in the past few games. Important players have been injured continuously, and the list of injuries is increasing, but fewer and fewer players have recovered.

Even Bart the Orc was injured this time. He got so red in midweek training that he made a shovel to intercept a pass, but he couldn't walk after standing up. Ferguson was so angry that he almost rushed up and gave him a hammer.

"Now that the league has played, Manchester United's midfield is no longer original. The two midfielders Ferguson sent in this game are Scholes and Beckham.

The advantage of the two is that they are excellent in passing and control, but their stealing ability is impressive.

Such a feature on the field is that once Manchester United has the ball, the Sheffield Wednesday players will be slipped around.

But when it was Xie Wednesday's turn to take the ball, their interception ability was like a layer of gold dust on the paper, and then a layer of cream.

It doesn't look very good, but the two boys can run very well, but they still can't stop their opponents when they run in the right position. "

Sky Sports football commentator Martin Taylor talked about Manchester United's midfield combination as if he were introducing his son. His words were insufficient, but it always sounded like showing off.

"David passed the ball to Andy, who had no intention of shooting at all now, with his back to the goal in the penalty area, he passed the ball to Eric, and the Frenchman didn't stop the ball and scored the goal kick!
This goal is really amazing, Eric can score a goal so easily.

According to another game report, Newcastle United is one goal behind Chelsea in the away game. If this score can be maintained until the end of the game, then Manchester United will tie with Newcastle United for the first place in the standings with 39 points after the end of this round.

The young people of Manchester United are doing very well! "

But his words have not yet finished. Sheffield Wednesday, ranked 16th in the league, scored 2 goals in a row by relying on counterattacks. Manchester United entered the point-chasing mode for the third consecutive game.

At the last moment, Cantona saved the team.

In the 83rd minute, Gary Neville threw an out-of-bounds ball into the penalty area, and Bruce grabbed the ball in front of the ball. He turned the ball back to Cantona by mistake.Cantona faced the ball forward, bowed his bow and set an arrow, and shot the ball sideways into the dead corner. Manchester United kept the tie 2-2.

In another game, Chelsea won Newcastle at home, and Manchester United was able to reduce the points to two points.

After the game, the Manchester United people headed by Ferguson didn't know whether to scold or laugh. The team didn't play well, but Manchester United narrowed the gap with Newcastle United.

To say that the team played well is to lie to themselves. In the last 10 minutes of the game, they barely drew with the 16th place in the league. How amazing is this performance?
Although he felt uncomfortable, Ferguson didn't want to give in easily. He talked again at the press conference: "Of course I am not satisfied with the result of the game, let alone the three games without victory, but life is like this, there will always be some unsatisfaction. We also try to accept it, and then put these aside and prepare for a new game.

I am not pessimistic, on the contrary I am more optimistic. The game against Sheffield Wednesday was a great game. Our young people have withstood the test and strengthened their confidence. We can all see that young people need to grow and mature in real competition.I am delighted to see Eric's contribution, his help to Manchester United's young people is irreplaceable.Eric's help and teaching allowed young players to grow rapidly. "

On December 1995, 12, a very important event occurred in European football. UEFA's Bosman Act came into effect.

The Bosman Act recognizes football players with European Union citizenship. After the contract with the club expires, they have the right to play in any other country in the European Union without paying any transfer fees; secondly, when players with European Union citizenship play anywhere in the European Union, the regulations on "foreign player restrictions" are abolished.

With the promulgation of this bill, the flow of players within the EU began to accelerate, effectively protecting the vital interests of players.

The protagonist of the story is an inconspicuous little character. In terms of strength, he is as small as an ant in the entire European football world.

But no one thought that a little ant would break through the biggest restriction on players in the European transfer clause.

In the summer of 1990, Mark Bosman, a midfielder who played for RFC Liege in the Ligue 60, expired at the end of the season. The club was going to cut his annual salary by [-]%, so Bosman hoped to transfer to the Dunkirk club in France.But at that time, Dunkirk was unable to pay the high transfer fee offered by the Liege club, which led to the failure of the transfer.Under the old transfer system, even if a player’s contract expires, and other clubs want to recruit him, they must pay the player’s original club a transfer fee to make it happen.

After receiving legal advice, Bosman took the Liege team and the Belgian Football Association to court in August of that year; in November, a Belgian district court ruled that Bosman’s transfer was legal and the Belgian Football Association lost the case; half a year later, the Belgian Court of Appeal ruled to reject the appeal; Choice of residence and free choice of employment" Treaty of Rome.Bosman also asked the EU to order UEFA to release restrictions on non-EU players, because such restrictions are fundamentally a form of racial discrimination.

The most important and direct consequence of the Bosman Act was quickly manifested in the transfer market. The former protagonists in the transfer market have changed from clubs to players. After the only obstacle hindering their transfers was abolished, Europe immediately fell into a crazy age!
On the day when the Bosman Act came into effect, a Frenchman named Arsene Wenger firmly supported the bill in an interview with the Japanese media: "This is an epoch-making change. The bill gives players the freedom to work. From now on, players will no longer be restricted by clubs, and they can freely choose their favorite clubs to play."

Wenger, who was still coaching in Japan at this time, never imagined that at some point in the future, he would be disgusted by this bill at least once a year.

The bill came into force, and the players became transfer leaders.

When the players have 2 years left in their professional contracts, the club will start negotiating with the players about contract renewal. Most players will choose to open their mouths at this time. If the current club does not agree to a salary increase, then he is not in a hurry, because after the contract expires, the next player can get the player without spending a transfer fee.

In return, the new club must increase the wages of the players. The market price is generally that the player's worth is converted into the wages.

In order not to suffer losses, the club must either agree to the player or sell the player early.

Because as the contract period approaches, the value of the players will continue to decrease, and no one will pay a big price for a player who is about to get a free agent.

This is the biggest reason why Wenger was forced to sell stars and captains every year in the later stages of coaching Arsenal.

Once the players and the agent team have a lack of morality, the club can only be led by the nose. The only thing they can do is to raise the salary of the players and pay the signing fee to the agent, so as to keep their best players.

Manchester United travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool after days of discussions across Europe over the Bosman bill.

The importance of the England national derby is a concern. All kinds of public opinion immediately threw away other news when the game was approaching, which made the derby full of atmosphere. No matter in terms of historical achievements or the comparison of current players, it has been made a big fuss.

Liverpool's new goalkeeping coach Joe Corrigan has declared James to be a better goalkeeper than Schmeichel.As for attackers, Collymore, who joined Liverpool for £850 million, and Cole, who signed for Manchester United for £700 million, were also forcibly compared. The media also called this a battle of sky-high strikers.

Of course, the core topic of hot discussion in the media is still Manchester United's youth training results, the comparison between "Ferguson's children" and Anfield's spicy brother.Even though Manchester United's Beckham, Scholes, and Giggs have grown into the core players of Manchester United, the media are still more optimistic about Liverpool's Fowler, McMaraman, Ray Jack Knapp and other young talents, thinking that their style is more gorgeous and stronger.

The only good news in this game is that Schmeichel is back, but this still cannot fundamentally solve the problem, because Manchester United's midfield combination is still stretched.

The impromptu Manchester United team fell into a passive position at the beginning, and was basically rubbed by the opponent on the ground throughout the first half. Even Cantona withdrew to the midfield.

But the team still couldn't beat the opponent. Fowler scored two consecutive goals in 45 minutes and 86 minutes respectively, and Manchester United rushed to the street on the spot.

After the game, the acrimonious media would not let go of the lifeless Manchester United. They criticized one-sidedly, "Manchester United is rarely unable to fight back against a deadly enemy, and loses so completely and simply."

Ferguson was furious after the game. He locked the players in the locker room and roared for more than half an hour.He was very angry, "When we come to Anfield, I hope you will fight. This is the enemy we hate the most, this is the opponent we must defeat! Your performance is really rubbish, no player can stand up, no player can respond to the opponent's provocation. We can only watch the opponent's ravages and endure incomparable humiliation!"

Both Beckham and Gary Neville lowered their heads, while Cantona was still standing tall at this time, like a writer who came to collect the news, watching the head coach slashing players intently.

In the next week, as long as a player makes a mistake, Ferguson will immediately turn over the old score with Liverpool, scolding this person for not taking responsibility, and calling that person a softie.

Manchester United next played against Leeds United. This time Bart and Keane finally returned to the main lineup, and the team's two kidneys were finally in place.

But it is a pity that backup central defender David May was injured, Pallister did not recover from injury, Gary Neville was placed in the starting position, and 32-year-old Parker served as right back.

In the midfield, Ferguson let Lee Sharp take a rest, but he didn't dare to use Giggs who had just recovered, so he could only let Cantona play this position.

At this time, the team can only send Cole and McClair on the front line, because the team only has these two forwards.

Beckham did return to the right midfielder position, but this position is too twisted to function properly.

He returned to a familiar position, but his teammates were not familiar with it. He always felt that McClair had a problem with his legs and feet, and Cole was still wandering.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United was rushed and beaten by Leeds United, and soon the situation was gone.

1 is better than 3
As long as Gary Neville plays at centre-back, this score is standard.

The only consolation in this game is that Cole scored a goal, so rare!
Another serious defeat for Manchester United.What is more regrettable than the score is that Manchester United once again lost a general.Cantona was also injured in the head during the game, and his shirt was wet with blood, which greatly affected his performance in the game; Captain Bruce was also injured in the game and was substituted midway through the game.

With 5 wins and 2 consecutive losses, this record really makes Manchester United fans extremely miserable.

The media once again bombarded Ferguson, and they vented their dissatisfaction through the mouth of the famous football star.Many commentators believe that Ferguson's formation has serious problems, his tactical style has become blurred, and his players are playing in a mess.The most critical central defender position, almost no one at Manchester United can replace Pallister or Bruce, and Bruce, Parker, and Irwin are old, and they really can't beat those young people who broke into the Premier League early.

"The Times" said: "Watching Bruce being teased by Fowler, watching Yeboya cut off Parker's clearance, watching Brolin rush into Manchester United's defensive position that is full of holes, I really feel sad for this leaky Manchester United team!"

Ferguson still insisted after the game. He said: "We have nothing to explain. The loss of control of the game started with a low-level mistake. We will try to avoid this kind of mistake in the future. Let's talk about Andy's goal. This is actually very important. Facts have proved that Andy did not lose confidence, and neither did my players. We will adjust the state of the team and return to the position we should be in."

The media no longer believed Ferguson's rhetoric, and their reports have begun to look down on Manchester United's ability to regain the championship.Sky TV commented: "The Manchester United coach watched his team lose consecutively within 8 days, and watched the team drift away from the Premier League trophy. This kind of helplessness makes people realize the reality and cruelty of football."

Many media believe that the 20th round of the league will be the node of the championship battle. Before this game, Newcastle United had already led Manchester United by 8 points in the standings. As long as they win the next round, the championship competition this season will basically lose suspense.

Regarding the media's comments, Ferguson shouted that they are all snobbish people.

And Beckham also clenched his fists and wrote on the paper: "Mr. John, next we will face Newcastle United at home. Do you dare to bet with me whether Manchester United will win?"

The reply was immediately written on the paper: "Dare, I bet Manchester United will win!"

The corner of Beckham's mouth twitched slightly: "...I almost forgot, this guy knows the result."
