Chapter 146 The Sun is Toxic

On the second day after the game with Newcastle United, Beckham slept until noon.

"hiss"

The feeling of cramp in the calf
Beckham had a strange dream just now, in which his legs could stretch infinitely, so he made a boring experiment that every boy would choose: to see how long his legs can stretch.

This attempt in the dream almost led to the tragedy of cramps upon waking up. Fortunately, he straightened his legs and stretched immediately, thus avoiding the tragedy of "opening the door black".

The end of the year is approaching, and half of the Premier League schedule is over. For Beckham, the most painful thing now is the feeling of stiff and sore muscles when he wakes up the next day after a game.

He learned from yesterday's newspaper that he has played a total of 23 times this season, including 20 for Manchester United and 3 for England.

Seeing this statistic, he was really taken aback.

Because he only spent 4 months, the number of appearances far exceeded all the previous official games, such a result is unbelievable.

After a youth player reaches the age of 18, he cannot represent the youth team in an official game. In the previous two seasons, Beckham has been training hard in the reserve team.

Manchester United in those two years had Kanchelski, a physical madman, a monster who never wanted to rest.

With him on the court, I have played no more than 5 games in each of these two seasons.

The Ukrainian left the club as if fate had opened a door for him, never expecting to make so many appearances in his first season as a regular.

If before the start of the season, the old man told himself that he could play 20 games this season, then Beckham would definitely laugh with satisfaction.

He never expected that only halfway through the season, he had already played 20 times for Manchester United, and most of the time he started and played the whole game.

This is really unimaginable. He felt that his career suddenly started to take off when he was 20 years old. There was not even a bit of preparation in the middle. This feeling is amazing and hard to describe in words.

In the first month of the season, Beckham never forgot his stats after every game. He could memorize more than a dozen items in the stat sheet in just a few minutes.

But as the league deepened, the data of more than 20 games was stuffed into his head like a mess. Now he can remember the number of appearances, goals and assists, and other data can only be asked by the team staff.

He now has a new understanding of professional games. For example, Premier League games not only consume players' physical energy, but also consume everyone's spirit to a large extent.

In England, both the club and the outside world have extremely strict requirements on players, and I am engaged in a profession that hardly allows mistakes.

Especially when I was still in a club that was aiming to dominate the Premier League. All the words and deeds of a player in public, and the performance of every game would be infinitely magnified by the media, and if there was a slight mistake, he would be roasted on the fire like a roast suckling pig.

After lunch, Beckham strolled to the newsstand to pick up a few newspapers and went home. People kept greeting him along the way. Now he finally understood what it means to be a public figure.

Now Beckham feels that everyone passing by him can't help but look at him, feeling like an animal running out of a zoo.

Encountered in this situation, he was not in the mood to stroll outside at all, and simply returned to the villa.

Looking at this posture, the media has basically squeezed my own living space, and I can't even be an otaku if I don't want to
The editor of the "Sun", Nick, was still trying to flatter me. Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, he was not sure for a while.

But Beckham has maintained a very cautious attitude towards this matter. As a professional player, he is well aware of the power of killing tactics.

Many players have been touted by the media to heights that they cannot reach because of their short-term outstanding performance. Once life returns to normal and the performance of the players tends to be flat, the media will have something to say.

Adjectives such as bad state, lack of positive attitude, lack of self-discipline in life, and high self-esteem will come out of the mouth of the media at once.

After some players have worked hard, they find that they always fail to meet the expectations of the outside world, and their mentality will undergo tremendous changes.

Once the player's mentality changes, it will be fully reflected in the game.

Just like yesterday's game against Newcastle United, the two teams fought hard. Before the team scored the second goal, the Newcastle players always gave him a feeling of being overwhelmed.

Since Keane scored a goal, the aura of the Newcastle players disappeared suddenly.

He felt that the reason why The Sun wanted to praise him at length was probably to destroy him mentally one day.

The writing style of that person named Nick is vicious. He doesn't believe that this kind of person supports him out of his heart, and he doesn't want to become a depressed young man after the bubble bursts.

If this is the case, it means that he is not far from leaving Manchester United.

After a rough reading of the "Sun" article, Beckham felt that Nick was like a doctor, constantly dissecting himself with a pen and showing himself to everyone.

Such a description is certainly a kind of affirmation for a player, but it leaves a young player like him with no secrets at all.

Beckham is also very helpless. As a rookie, he has only played in the Premier League for four months, and he has already encountered special care in the game.

Although it has its own distinctive characteristics and beautiful data, it also has something to do with the media's blowing water.

His statistics this season are 10 goals and 10 assists, of which the statistics in the league are 8 goals and 9 assists.

But even he himself can't explain how such data came about. Many goals in football matches are accidental. If things happen again, no one can guarantee that they can reproduce the goals beautifully.

Beckham sighed several times when he saw the replay of his goal, and even he would marvel and express his disbelief.

Because many times, his performance on the field is based on intuition. If things happen again, he can't guarantee whether he can still make such a wonderful goal.

Just 3 days after the game against Newcastle United, Beckham stood at Old Trafford again.

In the 21st round of the league, Manchester United played against the bottom-ranked Royal Park Rangers at home.

After a fierce battle in the previous game, David May was injured for the third time this season, and all three of Manchester United's authentic central defenders have entered the injury list.

Manchester United's partners in this game are Gary Neville and Frenchman William Prunier.

The French central defender was recommended by Cantona. Both of them came from the youth training of Auxerre, and both studied under Auxerre's godfather Guyrou.

Under his leadership, Auxerre almost ranked in the forefront of Ligue [-] by virtue of its youth training ability.

But Beckham could see that the picky old man didn't take a fancy to the French central defender.

Prunier played nine seasons for Auxerre, and later played a year in Marseille. This season, he played the role of patron saint of drinking fountains in Bordeaux.

Seeing that the team was about to lose its central defender, Ferguson invited the Frenchman to try out ten days ago. Prunier immediately terminated his contract with the Bordeaux team after receiving the news, and came to the club in a hurry.

However, after a week of trial training, Ferguson was noncommittal about the performance of the French central defender.

If it weren't for Manchester United not really having a central defender now, it is estimated that the old man will observe him for a while.

But there is really no one available in the team now. Ferguson doesn't want to use Keane as a guest central defender, so he can only let the Frenchman play on top.

At the start of the game, when Beckham touched the ball for the first time, the Rangers' left back immediately put a shovel, and he jumped up to avoid it.

The game has only started for 1 minute, is it necessary to play so hard?

It turned out that this was just the beginning. In the first 5 minutes of the game, he touched the ball a total of 8 times, was tackled 6 times, and was tackled 3 times.

When he was tackled for the third time, Beckham landed head-on and spit out a mouthful of grass when he got up.

Damn, the guy named Nick in The Sun is really poisonous.
