Chapter 189 The War of the Roses ([-])

Seeing Lee Sharp let him play in the middle, Beckham immediately thought he heard it wrong.

He glanced at the sideline, and Ferguson pointed to the middle, still shouting something.

It seems that this arrangement is true!
The old man is trying to trap me.
"Manchester United replaced the injured Butt with Lee Sharpe, the manager put Lee Sharpe who had just come on at right-midfield, and David was pushed down the middle.

Can he withstand the onslaught of Leeds United players? "

Martin Taylor speaks out Beckham's heart.

To be honest, he can play in the middle.

Harrison often deployed him in the middle when he was in the youth team. He has also played in midfield a few times this season, but only when the team took the initiative.

But this game is a different situation. After less than 5 minutes in the first half, the Leeds United midfielder swept back and forth in the middle like a rhinoceros.

Even a tough guy like Keane was knocked off his back, and Beckham was under a lot of pressure.

Ferguson was also helpless in doing so. This season, Manchester United's first team has only 20 capable players, and there is a shortage of players in every position.

If it weren't for Keane and Bart, the two stubborn and tough, the midfield position would probably be riddled with holes.

Since he is placed in the middle, he can only play at his own pace.

Leeds United kicked off. They first passed the ball to the left, and Lee Sharpe brought down the opposing player without saying a word.

Seeing that Lee Sharpe was also a tough stubble, Leeds United decisively shifted their offensive direction to the center.

Leeds United asked for the ball from the midfielder, and Beckham immediately posted it.

The opponent put his arm across him and stopped the ball under his feet, feeling that the pressure behind him was not too great.

So the Leeds United midfielder, who was aggressive, hit Beckham twice with his back, and arched him backwards with his body.

Beckham exerted all his strength to withstand the opponent, but after all, there was a difference in weight between the two. That buddy was a muscular guy, and he was a circle stronger than him from the naked eye.

Feeling that Beckham couldn't stand him, the Leeds United player became even more unscrupulous. He slammed back and prepared to turn around and wipe it away.

So he pushed back hard, ready to turn around and speed up when the opponent retreated.

But Beckham suddenly turned around to avoid the opponent's impact, and the Leeds United players in the headspace suddenly lost their balance, and their bodies kept retreating uncontrollably.

These muscle sticks really have muscles in their brains.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Leeds United players couldn't stop retreating, Beckham suddenly accelerated with the ball.

Seeing that Beckham was going from the center to the penalty area, other Manchester United midfielders immediately began to move wildly, leading the defenders around them to the side.

The Leeds United central defender immediately rushed out of the penalty area, ready to intercept Beckham halfway.

Just when he was halfway, Beckham stopped suddenly, and Scholes began to turn around and enter the penalty area almost at the same time.

Seeing his teammates run out of position, Beckham immediately made an overhead pass, and the football flew over the head of the defending centre-back and into the area he should have been defending.

Seeing that Scholes could single-handedly hold the ball, the Leeds United goalkeeper rushed out frantically. He jumped high and punched the football back to the midfield.

"He touched the ball outside the box!"

Just when the goalkeeper was so coquettish that he knocked the ball into the air, Beckham immediately reminded the referee loudly.

When he made an emergency stop just now, the Leeds United goalkeeper was ready to attack, so Beckham wanted to pass the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

He has practiced this kind of pass thousands of times, and the football he rubbed with the back of his foot will spin in his mouth.

The ball just now looked like it was going to be thrown into the penalty area, but in fact it almost landed on the edge of the penalty area.

The Leeds United goalkeeper looked at the penalty area line when he attacked. He subconsciously hit the ball and only touched the football outside the penalty area.

At the same time as Beckham yelled, the referee's whistle also sounded, and he rushed towards the Leeds United goalkeeper.

The Leeds United goalkeeper is still stubborn: "I touched the ball in the penalty area, there is no problem with this ball!"

The referee didn't listen to his explanation at all, and took out a red card from his trouser pocket and raised it into the air.

The Leeds United goalkeeper squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. Not far away, their manager did the same.

Accustomed to seeing the tough Ferguson, Beckham felt that the head coach of Leeds United was a bit unmanly.

After 5 minutes, he realized that the buddy was not a man, but really desperate.

He saw Leeds United's central defenders wearing goalkeeper uniforms. It turned out that their manager didn't put a substitute goalkeeper on the bench at all.

This thing is getting bigger!
Of course, the head coach of Leeds United cannot be blamed. At this time in the Premier League, each team can only apply for three substitute places.

Not every team has a jack-of-all-trades like Phil, so some head coaches will not let the goalkeeper waste the substitute places, but give three places to each of the front, middle and back courts.

I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. Today, the head coach of Leeds United broke out with his non-chief physique, and the goalkeeper was sent off directly.

Seeing Leeds United's second goalkeeper stretching in place, Manchester United fans were overjoyed.

"Leeds United's main goalkeeper Mark Beene ran outside the penalty area and touched the ball with his hands and was sent off by the referee Cooper without hesitation. The head coach Howard Wilkinson could only choose to use South African defender Radebe to make up for it.

Now Leeds United will be in trouble! "

Martin Taylor seems to be describing the facts, but there is always a sense of schadenfreude.

The game restarted, and Leeds United completely gave up the idea of ​​attacking at Old Trafford and began to tighten their formation.

Manchester United, on the other hand, put their opponents in the half court and beat them to death.

But the Leeds United players didn't intend to stand still at all. They all regarded themselves as human sandbags. As long as a Manchester United player shot, they would throw themselves at the opponent's feet one after another.

So Manchester United began to shoot from long distances. After all, the opponent's goalkeeper is a two-handed knife, and it is only a matter of time before he makes mistakes.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Leeds United, who played as a guest goalkeeper, was so hygienic that he even saved long-range shots from Manchester United players.

The Leeds United players did not blindly clear the siege after taking the ball, but took the ball all the way to the bottom line, wasting time with Manchester United.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United's offense was fruitless. The Leeds United players relied on their tenacious fighting spirit to deal with their opponents. They survived the half with one less player and the central defender played as the goalkeeper.

As soon as Ferguson entered the locker room, he began to curse: "These bastards, if they show the spirit of competing with us to deal with other teams, they will already be leading the standings by now!"

The "War of Roses" made the Leeds United players explode into unprecedented combat effectiveness. They just didn't want Manchester United to win.

Before this game, Leeds United players vowed to beat Manchester United and then let Newcastle win in the next round.

Even if there are only 10 players on the field, the Leeds United players are determined to fight Manchester United to the last moment.

Faced with such an opponent, Manchester United can only deal with it patiently.

At the beginning of the second half, Beckham shot from a distance of nearly 40 meters from the goal.

The goalkeeper of Leeds United put the football on the crossbar with his fingertips, and the defender kicked the football forward.

Seeing the performance of the goalkeeper, Beckham could only shake his head helplessly. This is a goalkeeper who was delayed by the central defender.

In the stands of the stadium, Manchester United fans collectively let out a sigh.

The fat man sitting in the front row slammed the popcorn on the ground: "I'll fuck you!"
