Chapter 172 Newcastle's Battery Is Running Out
Beckham felt tired from the first start.

After the opening, Manchester United was surrounded by Newcastle United for three rounds, and the three lines were pressed into an oval.

Finally got a chance to get the ball, and returned the ball to Newcastle in less than 30 seconds.

Another wave of siege followed, and Manchester United's defense continued to be abused.

Beckham feels like Newcastle United have completely changed their team today.

If Newcastle at Old Trafford looked like cunning foxes, Newcastle today are hungry and ferocious predators.

It didn't try at all, it threw Manchester United and began to bite.

This is the feeling of Manchester United players now. The pressure from the opponent has a sense of suffocation, which makes everyone breathless.

Newcastle's players were even more vigorous amid the crazy cheers of the home fans. They pressed the whole court like crazy and launched a tide-like attack.Their speed and placement rate are amazing, and the overall oppression and confrontation have the upper hand.

The strength of this mercenary army is terrifying. Many of their players have been bought without even having time to adjust, and they have entered the state since the first round of the season.

Ginola got the ball in front of Beckham again, he stepped on the football, and then walked towards the latter with a big clap.

Just when Beckham was considering whether to put him down with a sliding tackle, Ginola flicked the football lightly with the back of his foot, and he bounced the football into the penalty area.

Ferdinand carried Gary Neville to get off the ball and leaned back with his body. Gary Neville was almost hit by him and lay down on his back.

Beckham watched as poor Gary gritted his teeth and braced for the impact, while Ferdinand, looking reassured, suddenly began dribbling laterally to the right.

At first, Gary was barely keeping up with the rhythm of the opponent with cross steps, but it became more and more difficult, and he tended to fall behind after two steps.

So Gary Neville simply ran sideways and followed Ferdinand for two steps. He did this entirely to keep up with his opponent.

"Gary, stop carefully!"

Beckham yelled loudly at Gary Neville, but his yelling was like a drop of water flowing into the sea, and it had no way to work at all.

The distance between the two is less than 20 meters. Gary Neville is as far away as in another world, and his life is completely unable to break through the enchantment between the two.

Just as Beckham expected, Ferdinand stopped suddenly. He was running horizontally one second, but the next second he suddenly buckled the football to the left, and Gary Neville was instantly thrown two meters away by him.

The beauty of black strength and coordination has been fully displayed at this moment.

He dropped Gary Neville, but Bruce didn't catch up in time.

Manchester United's defense exposed the goalkeeper directly to the opponent again. Ferdinand was just about to adjust the football from the left to the right when Schmeichel ran out of the goal.

He seized the gap where Ferdinand adjusted the ball and stretched out his legs to tackle the football out of the penalty area. David Batty got the football before Bart, and he quickly turned around and passed the ball to the middle. Beardsley, who was ambushing in the middle, raised his foot and volleyed.

At this time Schmeichel had not yet returned to the goal line, and the football went straight to the goal, and he obviously managed to catch up with the football.

Is it really cold this time?

Beckham suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Although he was standing on the field, he looked more like someone who bought a ticket to enter.

So far, everything the team has experienced has little to do with themselves.
Just when everyone thought it was inevitable this time, Keane appeared on the goal line.

He slid across the body and almost shoveled the ball out of the penalty area on the goal line.

Beckham was very excited, because the football finally flew to him.

He wanted to stand still and wait for the football, but Ginola had already rushed over laterally.

Did this guy take medicine today?

Seeing that the football was in danger of being intercepted, Beckham could only run towards the football.

The two ran to the landing point almost at the same time, and Beckham was slightly ahead by half a step. He took advantage of this advantage and picked the football to the sideline along the path of the ball.

Ginola is very motivated today. In the situation just now, if he wanted to pick the ball, he might be intercepted, so he can only touch the ball in the general direction of the ball.

Pulling the ball to the sideline, Beckham immediately rushed towards the sideline.

Just when he thought he would throw Ginola off, the opponent rushed to the sideline close to him.

Beckham caught up to the football near the touchline and swung it forward the instant he touched it.

I can finally get rid of this guy this time, right?

Beckham dribbled the ball forward, but Ginola tackled him less than 5 meters away.

He yelled, then sat on the ground and motioned to the referee.

A sharp whistle sounded, and the referee gave Newcastle a foul, but it didn't mean to give a card at all.

Well, but finally a breather.

Beckham adjusted his sneakers slowly, then stood up and patted the dirt on his body. The lawn in winter is really terrible.

"It's great that David can control the time now because we can all breathe!"

In the Sky TV studio, Martin Taylor picked up a bottle of mineral water from his side and took a sip.

It wasn't because he was thirsty, but the way Newcastle besieged Manchester United gave him a sense of oppression inexplicably.

"Okay, because the rhythm of the game is too tense, there is no way to distract energy and talk about other things. Let's take a look at the lineups of the two teams."

On the pitch, Manchester United lost the ball again without a few passes.

The game has also become Newcastle's half-court offense and defense. Newcastle players can't wait to come to the middle to attack hard and push hard to blow up the opponent at once.

Bruce, who has always been calm, had no choice but to make a blind clearance no matter where the ball flew. Cantona dribbled the ball in the backcourt and was intercepted. Giggs had almost no chance to break through. Beckham was busy helping the defense to block gaps.

Manchester United fell into a disadvantage in the situation, and the midfield players lost their positions completely, causing the midfield to lose power.

Even if Keane + Butt is equipped with a "double midfielder" with strong interception and confrontation capabilities, even if Manchester United has David Beckham and Ryan Giggs in the midfield with both skills and speed, even if Cantona often returns to the midfield and even the backcourt to get the ball, helping the midfield to increase the ball, sorting out the running and support of the midfield teammates, Manchester United's midfield is still completely passive under the siege of the opponent.

After a simple test of Manchester United's defense, the Newcastle players focused their attack entirely on Gary Neville.

At the beginning of the season, the scene of Gary Neville holding the medical examination form and Dave's theory suddenly appeared in Beckham's mind. This guy thought that he would save a lot of trouble by changing his height from 1 meters to 78 meters on paper.

But considering the current situation, Beckham felt how stupid that moment was.

Football is not a numbers game. Newcastle's frontcourt hunters found him by smell and wanted to kill him socially in front of fans all over the UK.

As Manchester United's biggest weakness, Gary Neville did not disappoint everyone, he kicked empty in the next clearance.

It was Keane who wiped his ass in the penalty area again, and he kicked the ball over the touchline in desperation.

Seeing Gary Neville pulling his hips like this, Ferguson yelled and cursed when he walked to the sideline.

But the old man's anger had little effect. First, Gary couldn't hear it, and second, the opponent didn't give him a chance to adjust.

After only a few seconds, Newcastle's offensive came over again.

Newcastle saw Gary Neville's inexperience, bullied him for his thin body, and launched a fierce attack on his defensive area. The area to the left of Manchester United's penalty area became the opponent's main attack direction.Poor Gary Neville was dizzy from the constant onslaught of his opponents, and suffered a lot as a temporary cameo at centre-back.He was beaten by Ferdinand and Asprilla many times on this side. Asprilla's entanglement even made Gary Neville embarrassingly kicked empty in the penalty area without even touching the ball.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch, you're so fucking empty!"

A miracle happened. Ferguson's roar passed through the noisy stadium and reached Gary Neville's ears.

He lowered his head, his waist was not straight, and he completely lost his "high imitation Cantona" demeanor.

Manchester United's weakness was grasped by the opponent, Bruce turned too slowly and was basically unable to support Gary Neville, and in many cases had to rely on Keane to come back to withstand it.

And this kind of formation that was played into a 5-back formation could affect the whole body. Manchester United's formation and tactics became chaotic. In many cases, the defense could not play the ball and was counterattacked by the opponent on the spot. Gary was like a worker, accepting wave after wave of Newcastle players.

A worker cannot pick up customers with feeling, and Gary cannot appear with confidence.

He gritted his teeth as his opponent hit after wave, trying to delay the disaster as much as possible.

In front of a powerful opponent, he had already given up hope to Li Ming, and was just enduring with the toughness he had practiced day after day.

Newcastle United's offense has exaggerated visual effects. All their players are like invincible muscular men, and everyone is rushing and hitting at all costs.

Manchester United has 6 players in the penalty area to guard against death, but they still allow Newcastle to continue to create shooting opportunities. If there is Schmeichel in front of the goal, Beckham dare not think how many goals Newcastle will score now.

Faced with the opponent tearing through the defense line and entering the hinterland, Schmeichel really demonstrated what it means to be one man in charge of the other.

Ferdinand used his body to eat Gary Neville twice in a row, almost forming a single shot in the same area, but his shots always failed to pass Schmeichel's barrier.

The Dane saved these two shots with good angles and excellent strength one after another like a god.

In addition to Schmeichel, Manchester United also had God's favor. In the 35th minute, Newcastle got a free kick in a good position on the left side of the penalty area.

Ginola had a good sense of the ball today. Even Schmeichel couldn't reach his free kick. Just when he had no choice but to fall, the free kick hit the goal frame.

Another cold sweat!
Manchester United were passively beaten for almost the entire first half, and Ferguson's children had almost no way to compete with their opponents.

They were able to kick a counterattack occasionally, but they were quickly killed by Newcastle in the cradle.

If it weren't for Beckham and Keane to catch the ball at the first point, Manchester United would basically be unable to move forward.

But most of the time, Cantona couldn't get rid of the opponent's siege, and the threats from the two sides were not played at all.

Giggs had only one bottom pass in the whole first half, and only one diagonal shot in the middle to get a chance to shoot, but his hasty shot was also blocked, which was considered a rare offensive for Manchester United.

Beckham once went in front of the penalty area, but it was a little short to form a single shot, but was cleared by the opponent.What's even more embarrassing is that the combined number of shots taken by Cantona and Cole is a pitiful 1 time!
After an unknown amount of time, Beckham finally heard the whistle for the end of the first half.

He just wants to lie on the ground now, but his appearance does not allow him to have such flaws in his clothes.

And Gary Neville didn't have so much appearance. He collapsed on the ground immediately at the end of half-time.

Under Ferguson's urging, the somewhat demoralized Manchester United players quickly walked back to the dressing room.

The difficulty of this half is definitely hell level. If it weren't for Newcastle's bad luck, Manchester United's current number of goals conceded would definitely not be 0.

If they're lucky, it wouldn't be a surprise that Manchester United are now 5 goals behind.

But a strange thing happened. Manchester United resisted the whole half, and even withstood Newcastle's life-saving attack.

Ferguson, who still hated the players in the first half, had a rosy face at this time, and he seemed to be in control of the situation.

When the Manchester United players were almost relieved, Ferguson said: "Boys, our performance in the first half was a disaster. Fortunately, we survived.

Even if they play like this, they can't win. The only indicator of winning or losing is scoring. We have equal opportunities with them.

Football is not gymnastics, the referee does not award your team a loss because you miss the ball.

In the second half, you must not play the ball blindly in the backcourt. You must use transfer and response to consume the opponent's spirit, let them consume physical energy, make them frustrated, and let them down.

We have sufficient tacit understanding and more efficient passing. We can stabilize the situation and effectively consume the opponent.You have to believe that the opponent is more anxious and impatient. When they are unable to attack for a long time, the defense line will soon have holes.

I always have faith in you! "

Hearing Ferguson's words, Beckham became optimistic again.

The old man's words entered his heart like a warm current, and the despair that appeared from time to time in the first half of the game disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After the mood recovered, the IQ of the whole team began to come online slowly, and everyone was discussing a question: "Newcastle players ran like that in the first half, do they still have the energy to run in the second half?"

As soon as this question was uttered, the excited discussion never stopped.

Newcastle players are human beings, not mules. No matter how good their physical fitness is, they can still be used to the limit.

By relying on science in this way, Beckham has confidence.

In the first half, his range of activities was limited to a small range because of fatigued defense.

He felt that his running distance was probably only half of Ginola's, which was a bit shameful.

You must know that the Frenchman is notoriously lazy on the court. He didn't even run in the first half, which still made Beckham feel a little stretched.

But there are always two sides to everything. Whoever runs a lot will get tired, and whoever runs hard will lose energy first.

After thinking of this level, Beckham began to look forward to the championship trophy again.

Just grit your teeth and hold on.

Once Newcastle is eliminated, hope will come.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Newcastle pressed up again. This time, the Manchester United players were not as overwhelmed as they were at the beginning.

Facing Newcastle's pressing, the Manchester United players did not panic and began to slip away partially.

It can be seen that the Newcastle players fought too hard in the first half, and they have not recovered yet.

The ball is still at Newcastle's feet, but their oppressiveness has not returned to the intensity of the first half, and Beckham can continue to handle passes.

Soon, Manchester United no longer relied on long passes to keep the football away from the goal, but continued to enter Newcastle's defensive core area through layers of advancement.

Five minutes later, Beckham found that Newcastle was not that strong, and the direct expression was that Gary Neville's head was raised again.

From this point of view, Newcastle is running out of power!
