Chapter 173 The Goddess Comes Again

Manchester United and Newcastle United fell into a stalemate in the second half. Even though Newcastle still controlled the ball, everyone could feel that they could no longer put pressure on Manchester United as they did in the first half.

Beckham and Ginola fought for several rounds in a row, and he felt that the aura of the Frenchman had obviously faded a lot.

Ginola always took the initiative to find confrontation in the first half, but he would try to avoid confrontation in the second half, which would only consume his insufficient physical energy fearlessly.

Obviously, during the intermission, not only did the Newcastle players not complete their recharging, but they also cooled their bodies, and they encountered their physical extremes.

Newcastle has no strength, and Manchester United is backed up.

As the core of Manchester United's frontcourt, the power of Cantona, who had no chance to get the ball in the first half, was reflected.

In the 10th minute, under the interference of the defenders, he lightly flicked the ball with the outside of the foot, and moved the football into the open space of the penalty area. Cole ran to the right position, but he was too nervous and accidentally stepped on the football, which was successfully intercepted by the Newcastle defender.

Just 2 minutes later, Giggs got a pass from Cantona on the left. He kicked against the goalkeeper, and the football went over the crossbar.

Giggs, who missed the opportunity, covered his face in remorse. This shot was really outrageous, and Ferguson was so angry that he shook his arm vigorously on the sidelines.

In the 18th minute, Beckham also wasted an opportunity. He received a ball from Cole on the right side of the penalty area and shot the football up to the 10th floor.

Beckham, who was on the plane, looked at the lawn under his feet with some reluctance. The height of the grass was moderate, and it looked flat. There was no place to shake the pot.

What the hell is going on here?

It's not the rhythm to shoot the goal by yourself in slippers, why is it so watery!

He found that not only him, but other Manchester United players were basically like this. The physical confrontation was too fierce in the first half, and the body had already adapted to that intensity.

At that time, Manchester United was completely behind, and the team basically had no chance to attack. Even if they made a pass error, they would think that the opponent was putting too much pressure on them, causing their teammates to make frequent mistakes.

Now it seems that everyone has no way to get rid of that force inertia, and the body has formed muscle memory.

Right, that is it!

Beckham found the crux of the problem, but not the solution.

"David, we're going to hit them hard when they're tired!"

Keane is constantly reminding his teammates, don't look at the Newcastle players who are tired, everyone seems to be unable to do what they want, but it's too early to say that the opponent is dead.

It's normal for a team to have extreme physical fitness. If this happens, just grit your teeth and hold on for a few minutes until the lactic acid in your body is exhausted, and you will be a hero again.

So in the next few minutes, Beckham and Phil played lateral transfer again.

Both men's passes were a bit long, but the effect was good, and Newcastle United's formation was stretched to keep moving laterally.

Now that the other party is so tired, we must let them accumulate more lactic acid.

Manchester United's passing and receiving are getting better, but Newcastle is unwilling to lose the initiative at home. They still rely on the athletic ability of the two black forwards to create murderous opportunities in Manchester United's penalty area.

But to be honest, if Newcastle only relied on them, they would not be able to make any big waves in Manchester United's penalty area.

Seeing Newcastle's up-and-down appearance on the court, Beckham felt that Keegan was still a little tender.

If the old man is the head coach of Newcastle, at this time, the team will definitely let the team take back, patiently play defensive counterattacks with the opponent.

Anyway, Newcastle still has a 5-point advantage in the standings. As long as there is not much ups and downs behind, Manchester United will have to follow behind them exhausted.

United have been playing catch-up behind Newcastle this season and Beckham knows exactly what that feels like.

Under the pressure of chasing points, everyone is full of the mood of wanting to win and afraid of losing points in every game.

It took a lot of effort to win a game. On the way home, I found that Newcastle had easily dealt with the opponent. I played the whole game for an hour, and passed the ball easily for the rest of the time.

Seeing such news, winning is not good.

There are 38 rounds in the Premier League, and it will be played from August of that year to May of the following year. Whether you can successfully torture your opponent, making the opponent feel miserable from the head coach to the cleaning of the club is an important indicator of a great head coach.

If Beckham is allowed to rate the two head coaches in this indicator, Ferguson has obviously reached the state of perfection, while Keegan has only reached the middle stage of foundation establishment at most, and his state is too far behind.

Taking advantage of the time when the football went out of bounds, Beckham took a look at the Newcastle United coaching bench. The Newcastle coach, who was shorter than Gary, looked like a clown.

Look, this buddy is completely immersed in his own world now and can't extricate himself.

He should be aware of the situation on the field, but he just doesn't want to compromise. Rather than grinding slowly, he prefers to use a game to determine the outcome.

A person who likes to be happy and enmity is not suitable for the career of a head coach.

Newcastle could not attack in the frontcourt and the backcourt was not stable enough, which brought many opportunities for Manchester United.

In the 24th minute, Phil assisted to the left, and he made a cross immediately after receiving the ball from Giggs.

The football bypassed Newcastle's right back in the air and landed in the penalty area and was caught by Cole.

I have to admit that this guy's sense of smell in the penalty area is not so good, and he can find the place for his teammates' crosses.

It's a pity that he is nervous when he shoots. The football feels like 100 degrees under his feet, which is especially hot.

United desperately needed to score, so Cole stopped the ball in the penalty area and simply turned his back to goal, he didn't intend to shoot.

Beckham found that once he made up his mind, Cole's movements became more proficient.

He resisted the Newcastle central defender and took a step laterally, scaring the two defenders to follow.

Just when they were both about to lower their bodies to intercept, Cole suddenly stepped on the ball behind him, and Cantona followed. At this time, his eyes suddenly opened up.

Newcastle's defenders found that Cantona was exposed, and they all rushed forward in horror.

Three defenders huffed and rushed towards the Frenchman's feet. They wanted to treat themselves as human sandbags.

The "King" was unmoved at all. He is now Newcastle's defensive player like air, hitting the upper left corner of the goal with his right foot.

Seeing the angle at which Cantona exerted his strength, Beckham groaned inwardly.

Based on everyone's physical condition, if the body exerts a little force now, the angle of the shot will deviate greatly.

Because Newcastle's goalkeeper predicted the angle of the shot, Cantona added a little wrist movement at the moment of the shot.

In Beckham's view, for shots in this situation, the Frenchman can hit 100 of 95 kicks during training, but this time he may have to hit the corner flagpole.

But the "King"'s footwork is obviously not predictable by a young boy. Cantona's body is well controlled. As soon as his shot is taken, Beckham knows that his thinking is wrong.

The football flew towards the goal quickly, and the Newcastle goalkeeper's body was fully stretched, and his palm was only one hand away from the football.

But it's not enough, the angle of this shot is too big.

Cantona's shot quickly passed the goalkeeper and flew into the top left corner of the goal.

1 is better than 0!

The ball is in!
After scoring the goal, Cantona held his head high, put his hands on his hips, and turned around in a circle, looking down at the entire stadium.

St James's Park was dead silent except for the occasional hiss.

For the first time, Beckham heard the voices of the Manchester United fans in the away team stands. Amid the quiet but resolute cheers from the Manchester United fans, the Manchester United players all ran to the away team stands.

Beckham ran to Cantona, put his arms around his shoulders and said excitedly: "Eric, you are a god!"

These words came from his heart, without any bragging.

As a professional player, Beckham admits that he is still a newcomer, and many moments this season have been new experiences for him.

But when it comes to footwork, he has never convinced anyone in the entire Premier League.

He thinks that under the current situation, he has practiced his footwork to the extreme.

But ashamed, in this situation he found himself completely unable to control the ball when he shot.

The footwork has not changed, and the mentality has not changed, but the football played is completely different.

Beckham is very clear that in this life-and-death environment, he has not yet the ability to decide life and death.

But Cantona has, he can't help the team kill a bloody road, and he does it coolly and freely.

If this is not the case, how can one be considered a god?
Is it true that a small tank less than 1 meters grabs a rebound from the goalkeeper and then smashes the football into the goal?

That is God blinded the referee's eyes!
It was the subsequent kill that overwhelmed the audience.
Hearing Beckham's words, Cantona remained expressionless, as if Beckham would only surprise him if he didn't praise him.

He calmly pointed to the stands and said, "David, look who is that?"

Beckham looked towards the stands, it was red, who was the Frenchman talking about?
He glanced at the crowd, and suddenly found that something was wrong.

A tall, long-haired girl was wearing a red coat, a red hat, a red scarf, and red gloves.

Whoa, this is so festive!

Well, the coat was made by herself, and the other pieces are all peripheral products of Manchester United.

This sister is a bit interesting, he is dancing alone, and beside him are two strong men in black suits and Manchester United scarves holding their arms, with an expression of "scoring goals has nothing to do with me, wearing scarves is also forced".

Nine out of ten such people are bodyguards.

Yes, that's right, the bodyguards!
Then these sisters are Sophie Marceau!
Yes, that's her!
Only "Thousands of French Dreams" will have such a big scene when they watch the game, and they will wear this mix and match red coat.
Sophie Marceau was jumping and waving at Beckham. She seemed to be saying something, but she was drowned in the booing of Manchester United fans without any suspense.

I don't know which guy wrote the lyrics and music, and Manchester United fans suddenly sang.

"David, enter one! If you enter, I'll let you kiss!"

There is only one line of lyrics in the whole song, and the tune is the same, so there is not much artistic appreciation value.

But the victory lies in the brainwashing, and he also euphemistically pointed out the relationship between the two people.

In the singing of the fans over and over again, many Manchester United players in the stands sang along as if obsessed.

And Beckham is still clapping at the fans, he thinks Sophie Marceau looks only 20 years old.

If the game continues until the end, the male god today is undoubtedly Cantona, and the goddess is undoubtedly Sophie Marceau.

It sounds like a soldier in a movie, a full-fledged extra.

Thinking of this, Beckham's competitive spirit was aroused.

Men are like this, once they are placed in that position, no matter what, they have to take their self-esteem into account.

The French want face, and the British want face even more.

Although I haven't even held hands with Sophie Marceau, no, I have, but it was to avoid the paparazzi, and the situation was urgent.

The two met three times in total, and he and Sophie Marceau were tied together by everyone. Beckham was a little dissatisfied, but nothing he said at this time would help.

At this time, I have nothing to do with saying that I have nothing to do with a beauty. Not only will no one believe me, but I will also be called a softie.

Now it's Sophie Marceau who fell into the crotch, and she did it if she didn't do it!
The beauty personally self-promoted, she fired the squib, and she did not bear this reputation.

Regardless, Beckham felt he needed a goal.

In this situation, only goals can bring the situation under control.

The game restarted, Newcastle's front and rear lines were out of touch, and the players fell into chaos.

Although these players are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, most of them have not experienced this moment.

Keegan urged the players to press up with a broken voice on the sidelines. Behind him, two Newcastle players were warming up.

If you have a headache, treat your head, and if your feet hurt, treat your feet. This shows that he is also panicking.

On the other side of the center line, Ferguson was enjoying himself humming the tune that the Manchester United fans sang just now.

The scene in front of him gave him an indescribable sense of comfort.

Now that the season has played, it is finally Newcastle's turn to feel uncomfortable.

Being suppressed for most of the season, Ferguson now just wants Newcastle players to feel what Manchester United have endured at the beginning of the season.

Newcastle was in disarray, while Manchester United relied on Giggs and Beckham's double wings to overwhelm them.

The physical condition of the Newcastle team is very poor. Even if Keegan replaced two wide players in a row, they could no longer press Manchester United into a half-court siege, nor could they create more opportunities.

In addition to solid defense, Manchester United also found a lot of counterattack opportunities.

In the 30th minute of the second half, Cole went straight into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Giggs to form a single goal, but his shot also seemed hesitant, and finally wasted an excellent opportunity.

If there is no shooting in football, then Cole's level is definitely at the top of the Premier League.

It's a pity that football games have to shoot, so he is still a parallel import
Ferguson also made special arrangements for Newcastle's two very creative midfielders. Giggs is good at running, quick in action, and has a strong positioning rate.

Seeing that his core players were restricted, Keegan became impatient. He wanted to fight Ferguson to the death.

Under his crazy urging, Newcastle aggressively attacked and almost gave up the defense of the midfield.

This arrangement made it impossible for Newcastle's midfield penetration tactics to play. They could only pick up the ball more to both sides, pass from the bottom to the penalty area, and rely on the center to rush to the top.Such a simple tactic is difficult to tear through Manchester United's tight defense. The double forwards of Ferdinand and Asprilla have not been able to beat Bruce, and Manchester United's defense in the hinterland of the penalty area has also done very well.

Manchester United found more chances to counterattack and score. Cantona and Butt both had excellent chances to score. Even Phil Neville had a perfect shot from the back, but unfortunately neither scored.

In the 86th minute of the game, Newcastle's offense was almost reckless.

They had five or six men rushing into the United box, and the full-backs saw it and kicked the football into the box.

Players from the two teams formed a group in the penalty area. At the critical moment, Schmeichel showed his power again. He jumped high in the crowd, punched the football to the right with both fists, and roared loudly: "David, go!"
