Chapter 182

Newcastle was reversed by Liverpool, and they have now lost the initiative in the standings.

After watching the game, Beckham was in a state of excitement for a while. As long as his team wins Manchester City tomorrow, they can really taste the top of the standings.

In addition to the gratifying situation of the league, the way the two teams played in this game also made him addicted to his eyes.

The two sides are evenly matched, and both use offense instead of defense. The exchange of offense and defense between you and me is very exciting.

Newcastle took the lead and was quickly equalized by their opponents after winning an excellent start. Then they took the lead several times and were tied again. Finally, they were killed at the countdown.

This process is really enjoyable!From the perspective of the technology and quality of the game itself, it is also a high-level game, which is worthy of recollection by fans.

Both sides almost gave up their defense and fought back frantically, as if everyone stood and stabbed each other to see who could last.Both sides invested enough or even surplus troops to attack frantically, and even removed the barrier in the midfield in order to attack.

The two teams scored wildly, and Newcastle fell to the ground at the last moment like a giant.

Liverpool scored a lore goal at the last moment and had the last laugh, while the failure made Newcastle swallow the bitterest bitter pill.

They have lost two games in a row, and it seems that their successor is weak, and there are already signs of failure.

Early the next morning, Beckham continued to buy newspapers and read the news.

He is very envious of the era that Old John lived in. He heard that 15 years later, he only needed a computer to see all the news he wanted to watch. The amount of information in that era was dazzling.

Probably because Manchester United had a match today, Ferguson didn't have the time to criticize Keegan's incompetence in the media.

All sports sections use the game between Newcastle and Liverpool as the front page. Among these media, the "Sun" left the deepest impression on Beckham.

Although in this newspaper, sports is just one of the pages.

People read The Sun for the three pages**, for the scandals of the stars, the scandals of the royal family, the sports are really just a small fringe, but they only used half a page to impress Beckham.

The illustration on the sports page shows Keegan slumped under the billboard after Liverpool scored the lore. He couldn't believe everything in front of him, and he was unwilling to accept defeat.

But football is so cruel. The moment Keegan fell, a reporter was gleefully raising his camera and pointing at him.

This is the state of affairs in the adult world. Newcastle led Manchester United by 12 points at the time, and when they had already stepped into the championship threshold with one foot, how many people licked them, and how many people stepped on them now.

Newcastle lost the direct dialogue with Manchester United, which stunned and shocked all football critics.Only at this time did they start to realize that the prediction of the championship when Newcastle United led by a large margin had no factual basis at all.

When Manchester United fought hard and won consecutive battles, Newcastle's decline has already begun to appear.And when Manchester United had caught up, Keegan completely lost self-control, and even the entire team became unconfident, anxious, and vulnerable.

Arsenal and Liverpool defeated Newcastle United one after another, which can be regarded as playing a key sniper role for Manchester United in the championship process at the end of the season.Although Newcastle can complain about their bad luck, a simple question is: If you want to win the league championship, shouldn't you be ready for everything?
Since the youngsters of the Manchester United team are ready to be hanged and beaten, why can't this "special forces" who bought people from the Premier League teams not make a good presupposition?
At this time, many media who had kneeled and licked before had begun to step on Newcastle.

They believe that the signs of the Magpies' unstable state have been showing signs since the New Year, but everyone thought it was a slight ups and downs at the beginning, and the team should be adjusted soon, and no one took it seriously.It wasn't until they lost against Manchester United, until they lost consecutively to Arsenal and Liverpool, that these key defeats made everyone understand that the team that killed the Quartet at the beginning of the season had already been sluggish, and their morale and state had already been turned upside down.

Anyway, they are free to say anything, and many readers have blurred memories of that time, and they came back to pretend to be Zhuge Liang, leaving Newcastle clean.

To Beckham's relief, the old man did not speak.

If he stomped on Keegan hard at this moment, stomping on Keegan until he bled and incontinent, it would have seemed a lot better.

But this kind of behavior will always make people feel unmannered and not decent enough. The British regard gentlemanly demeanor very important.

Beckham feels that these red tapes do not affect his view of this matter. It is completely inconsistent with his values ​​for an embattled man to die.

Glad the old man didn't do that.

Of course, not being interviewed by the media at this time does not prove that he is kind.

Even if he had expected that, even if he didn't have to play by himself, the various media would step on Keegan severely.

But not throwing stones when others are in trouble can more or less confirm the old man's upright character.

Everyone came out to work and earn a living. When they were brilliant a few months ago, they kept shouting "Learn from Mr. Aleksin".

If Manchester United seizes the opportunity, it will be a fierce mockery to Newcastle, and it also lacks the demeanor of some top teams.

As it turns out, Manchester United has no shortage.

Beckham drove to Carrington after breakfast, and Ferguson asked everyone to eat together before the game.

He wants to prevent some people from eating indiscriminately, and he can't control the things in his stomach when it comes to the game.

After lunch, Keane led everyone to walk and stretch on the track of the training base.

Beckham found that the atmosphere of the team was not right. Everyone would be silent from time to time, and even if someone spoke, they only spoke for the sake of talking.

The situation lasted for a while, and the left back Irwin finally couldn't help it: "I really didn't expect that I have experienced so many key games, and I would still feel insecure at this time."
God, forgive me for being a coward! "

Seeing how nervous this veteran is, a newcomer like Beckham felt a lot easier.

It turns out that this guy is also nervous. It seems that it is human instinct to be nervous before an important game.

When Manchester United came to Manchester City's home court and accepted the cursing from the visiting fans, Beckham was very calm.

The key game is already difficult to play, especially the opponent of the key game is Manchester City.

It is entirely conceivable how the rivals in the same city will meet Manchester United.

After the game started, the Manchester City players were like bulldozers, shoveling and hugging Manchester United players.

Their head coach vowed in an interview before the game that he would help Newcastle maintain their 1-point advantage.

Of course, this is just talk, it is impossible for Manchester City to work hard for Newcastle.

They are currently ranked third from the bottom in the league. If they are still ranked in this position by the end of the season, they will just be stuck and relegated.

If they don't fight now, they will have to fight hard in the second-tier league and lower-level teams next year.

The Manchester United players have already done a good job of psychological construction, and everyone is not slow to enter the state, and quickly entangled with Manchester City.

After 10 minutes, the combination of Keane and Butt carried Manchester City's midfielder and firmly established a foothold in the midfielder.

After 15 minutes, Manchester United began to suppress Manchester City's onslaught.

In the 18th minute, Keane shoveled Manchester City's midfielder, snatched the football from the opponent's feet abruptly, and then skillfully handed the ball to Beckham who inserted in the back.

The moment Beckham took the ball, he waded the football 10 meters, which stunned the Manchester City left-back who was about to carry his body with him just now.

The Manchester City central defender wanted to intercept Beckham away from the penalty area, but was passed by the ball again when he rushed forward.

Seeing that Beckham was about to step into the penalty area, Manchester City's defensive player swung his leg in the penalty area and kicked his sneakers.

Beckham fell to the ground in response, why are you kicking around?
He dared to believe that as long as he was allowed to touch the ball again, the attack would be successful in all likelihood.

It's good now, a good one-stop turn into a penalty kick.

The most important thing is that Beckham has no right to take a penalty kick, and Cantona has the right to take the penalty kick.

As a player who signed a contract with Manchester United at the age of 13, Beckham feels that the happiest thing in the world is to score against Liverpool, and the second best is to score against Manchester City. Other goals are not very cool.

Just as he was in a trance, Cantona still put the football on the penalty spot, and then began to retreat slowly.

Seeing the Frenchman's attitude of not caring about anything, Beckham always felt that the opponent wanted an airplane, and even if he didn't want an airplane, he would also hit a crossbar or a goal post.

Now that you have a hunch, follow your feeling.

Beckham and Cantona retreated simultaneously, and at this time Manchester United and Manchester City players were fighting to the death on the penalty area line.

Cantona started, still looking unhurried, and immediately pushed the lower right corner of the goal at the penalty spot, and Beckham rushed to the penalty area with all his strength.

The Manchester City goalkeeper immediately threw himself across to the right. At this time, he was desperate to find that Cantona had picked the ball to the left of the goal.

He didn't even think about how the Frenchman completed this shot until he landed.

Cantona's rubbed shot flew to the left of the goal, but it hit the crossbar.

The football hit the crossbar and fell, bouncing off the goal line.

A bunch of red and blue rushed towards the football, and when they were scrambling to start towards the football, suddenly a red figure flashed past them and rushed towards the football.

The football bounced off the ground just as Beckham charged towards the goal line.

He saw the City goalkeeper stumbling away from the ball, and with just two more steps he would have enough distance to pounce sideways.

By the time I rush over, I'm afraid the goalkeeper has stabbed the football away.

Beckham reckoned that there was still about two meters away from the football. He stepped on the ground with both feet and headed towards the football.

When he flew to the football, his forehead just touched the football.

Beckham struggled to control the bobbing of his head, and he saw the net move, which meant the ball had gone in.

The cheers from the visitors' stands confirmed his feeling that the goal had been scored.

1 to 0, Manchester United scored the first goal in the 18th minute of the game.

Now it's stable!

With such an early goal, Manchester City may not be able to make any big waves.

The game restarted, and Beckham realized that he had taken it for granted.

The eyes of the Manchester City players who were behind at home were all green, and they almost strangled the Manchester United players.

The Manchester United team's passing and receiving coordination suddenly became unsmooth. They knew that they could not fight their opponents on the ground, so they simply kicked a long pass.

In the 40th minute, Manchester City succinctly counterattacked. High center forward Quinn received a pass from the left and made a ferry assist. Their striker scored a goal and equalized the score.

Seeing the Manchester City players celebrating wildly after the goal, Beckham glanced at Cantona, and the Frenchman nodded knowingly, expressing acceptance.

So in the next 2 minutes, several Manchester United midfielders were winking wildly.

The game restarted, and Cantona suddenly yelled before kick-off: "Remember that feeling!"

Hearing this sentence, the Manchester City players were suddenly confused, and the Manchester United players also seemed to half understand.

Beckham was also pondering, Cantona didn't look at him, but he always felt that the other party was hinting at him.

So Beckham ran towards the front court regardless of his teammates' reactions.

Cantona and United's midfield kept passing the ball, seemingly oblivious to Beckham's presence.

Seeing the reaction of the Manchester United players, the Manchester City players gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Cantona ran further and further to the left. Seeing that he was going to cooperate with Giggs on the left, Manchester City's defense subconsciously leaned towards Manchester United's thigh.

Just when everyone thought the battle was going to happen on the left, Cantona suddenly passed the ball to the far corner of the goal after receiving a pass from Keane.

The ball was fast and fast, the Manchester City goalkeeper hesitated for a moment, missed the opportunity to attack, and could only wait for the situation to develop on the goal line.

The Manchester City central defender realized something was wrong, but the football was between him and the goal. He struggled and dodged to let the football pass.

The next second he flashed the football, he suddenly saw the football fly into the goal.

Damn, I got out of the way, but I still hit the football into the goal!

The connection between his dodge and the football flying into the goal just now was so fast that he thought he had scored an own goal.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly saw Beckham fall to the ground, rolled twice on the ground, and then ran towards the visiting team stand with open arms!
After figuring out what happened, the Manchester City central defender was relieved. Although the ball was still his fault, the plot eased a lot.

2 to 1, Manchester United exceeded the score again, and the first half ended immediately.

In the locker room, everyone was discussing Beckham's two headers.

"If I remember correctly, it was David's first header in the first team!"

Schmeichel, with a tone of "I watched David grow up", is showing that he is a veteran.

But there is nothing wrong with his words. This is the first time that Beckham has scored a header in the first team, and once he scored, he scored two goals!
Ferguson also mixed in the locker room blowing water: "It reminds me of Terry. I was only 18 years old at the time. That guy was a small guy like Gary, but he pressed our central defender in that game and scored a header. That kid was too good at jumping."

Gary Neville: "???"

A person with a height of 1 meters suddenly became a small man.

Beckham was pondering another question. The old man and Venables had known each other since they were children. No wonder they always felt that they had known each other for a long time last time.

Keane, on the other hand, was focusing on another question: "What happened next? Did his career end where it was?"

Scoring a goal so insulting in front of the central defender, the current world is in sight.

"It's not over. When it was our turn to attack, the centre-back took a barbed shot in front of Terry and it hit him in the head."

Hearing Ferguson's little story, Beckham's lower body tightened. Could this be implying me?
When everyone had finished chatting, Ferguson said: "Boys, be mentally prepared, these bastards will definitely work hard in the second half!"

Beckham looked at the tactical board, and he always felt that he hadn't played well today.
