Chapter 212 The Heartbreaker

The football flew high suddenly, gradually accelerated, drew a high and far arc, and flew forward quickly with a mysterious trajectory.

Seeing Beckham's long pass, the fans present all exclaimed.

Looking from the stands, the arc of the ball is really great. At this time, everyone realized that this is not a long pass, but a lob shot!
At this moment, Beckham seemed to cast magic on the football, allowing it to fly towards the high altitude ahead with great strength and an incredible arc.

The Wimbledon keeper sees the football and runs back, but everything is happening so fast his mind is in a mess.

After playing for so many years, he knows what will happen if this lob goes in.

The football is spinning like an elf, drawing a magical trajectory.It seems to have a pair of wings inserted, and it flies forward from a long distance playfully.Where will it fly to with a high arc and a slightly windy afternoon?
Beckham had a premonition of the ball the moment he took the kick, and the premonition became stronger and stronger.

At this time, all the fans in the audience were exclaiming, and everyone was looking forward to the result. Whether they made it or not, it would be an exciting moment.

Like Beckham, Sullivan had a hunch that the ball would go in, and he jumped helplessly before watching it fly into the goal.

He is desperate!

One second before, he was still squinting and watching his teammates fight in the opponent's half. Although the score was already 1 to 0, he was not too responsible for conceding the goal, and his performance was passing.Cantona's goal was in the corner, and Irvine's shot was too close.In addition to these two goals, Sullivan saved many Manchester United players' shots on the field, and his performance was not bad.

But at this moment, he knew that he had made a big mistake.

He's been away from the gate for too long.Although his own team had the ball before, he should press out of the penalty zone line by convention.But the offensive and defensive momentum changed quickly. By the time McClair got the ball and passed it to Beckham, he should have dropped back quickly into the penalty area.

The damn sunshine!

Sullivan lowered his head and grabbed the net, feeling ashamed.

If there was a hole in the ground at this time, he would definitely go in.

The stadium was suddenly dead silent, and then all kinds of sounds erupted immediately.

The thunderous cheers from the Manchester United fans, the comments from some Wimbledon fans who found it incredible, and the astonished exclamations of the commentators.

The stadium is like a pot full of boiling hot oil, and it becomes extremely lively in an instant.The fans now know the greatness of this goal, and the audience burst into applause and cheers, as well as the singing of Manchester United fans.

Beckham smiled and opened his arms, with a smile brighter than the sun on his face.

This smile also contains pride, self-confidence, pride, and expectation. This goal is like a return from the age of 15 to the present.

At this moment, Beckham is happy. He is grateful for the shot when he is 50 meters away. This is the result of hard work and a gift of life.

He thought this goal was just a moment, but he didn't expect this goal to become the starting point for him to become the darling of the whole England.

Just a few seconds ago, when Beckham was about to lob, Ferguson stood up on the coach's bench. Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he yelled loudly at the court: "Does David know what he is doing?! Does he still want to stay on the court?!
Fuck, awesome!Unbelievable, fantastic!This is the best goal!Great idea, this is the best goal of the season!David is really awesome, he dares to kick in! "

After scoring the goal, Ferguson hurriedly explained to the coaching staff: "Why do you show such expressions, this kid can always kick the football to where he wants to kick from 50 meters away, but I still think this way is not appropriate. "

The members of the coaching staff around him were all snickering. The old man was pretending to be forceful, but it was a pity that he failed this time.

From Ferguson's rosy cheeks and gentle expression, everyone knew that his heart was also boiling.

Teammates surrounded Beckham, and everyone was touching his head, as if this would improve their luck.

Gary Neville stood on the sideline with his head in his arms and smiled, "David, you should be glad that I didn't play, otherwise the person who appeared in that position would be me!"

But he would absolutely ruin the moment.

There was still bright sunshine in the sky, and there was a smell of green grass floating in the air. In the park stadium, the singing of the fans was still echoing.

"My God, what happened just now? This goal is unbelievable. I have been commenting on the professional league for so many years, and I have never seen such a spiritual young man. This is a great moment!"

In the studio, Martin Taylor was already a little incoherent: "Football history will remember this moment, and England's football history will regard this historical moment as a permanent classic."

This is a moment that belongs to Beckham. He raised his head and swayed the pride of youth after completing the goal.The golden hair is shining in the afternoon sun, the green grass, the red jersey, and the cheering stadium are eternally frozen at this moment.

The scene was noisy and full of voices, and the reporters used different channels to spread the most exciting moment of this football match to the outside world.

After this afternoon, the scene at this moment was like a whirlwind, appearing on TV screens all over the world, appearing on the front pages of sports news in major media, and being mentioned and discussed by countless people with fascination.

That super shot, that goal, was like a dream.

On the football field, he may not be a genius, no God's favor.

For most of the beginning of his career, he could only run in silence, constantly practicing boring long balls in the same way.

The handsome appearance makes most people ignore his strength, and the beautiful arc has begun to let his shoulders bear undue responsibilities.

Looking at his appearance, many people said that he should train hard without knowing it.

Others always think that the way he plays limits himself and that he should be more open.

But no one can deny that in that year and that day, a 21-year-old young man left an unforgettable moment here, and also wrote his youth into everyone's memory.

In the following week, the name Beckham represented football. Even people who never knew football knew that a young man named Beckham scored an incredible goal that day.

Even people with little knowledge of sports can see what this goal means.

Overnight, Beckham's name became a household name, from England to Europe, from North America to Oceania, from distant East Asia to unfamiliar Africa, this shy boy with sunshine, accompanied by this incredible goal, spread to the whole world overnight.

Beckham, together with Manchester United, has become the most concerned hotspot in the entire football world.

All the people who witnessed this goal were stunned, and the shock felt by experiencing it now is even more incomparable.

Beckham's father, Ted, was at the scene at the time, sitting in the stands behind the goal guarded by Sullivan. He had been paying attention to his son's performance, and he was a little dissatisfied before Beckham tried a lob.

Then at this moment, Ted saw his son in the middle circle actually kicked his big foot, "What the hell does he want to do, son? This doesn't need a big long pass, does it?"

And just when Ted was puzzled, the football flew in the distance, flew higher and higher, and then spun rapidly and flew downward. Suddenly he couldn't see anything!The people in the front row suddenly stood up and cheered, jumped, and cheered wildly, and his vision was completely blocked.

After learning that his son scored in such an incredible way, Ted also fell into ecstasy.

Ted did not recover from his excitement until the end of the game. After seeing Beckham, he held his son's hand tightly and said, "My son, until now I can't believe that you scored such a goal! It's really amazing to score such a goal!"

After the game, Ferguson and the media emphasized: "This is undoubtedly the best goal, the best goal of the entire season of the Premier League, it can be said that it is the best since the establishment of the Premier League, and the best since I coached!
David is so handsome, what he scored was a miraculous goal. Pele had such an idea back then, and only Pele could have such a goal!David's goal can definitely be compared with Pele's in 1970! "

In the "Premier League Essence" that night, the media broadcast the face-slapping moments of Ferguson and Keane, especially Brad Keane. This game was a shame.

Before Beckham scored, he and Cruyff each had a chance to lob, but neither succeeded.

When Beckham was about to shoot again, Kidd yelled 'It's not your turn! ’ But then everyone was completely stunned, the lob went straight into the goal, it was perfect and flawless.

There is also an interesting video in which Sullivan, who became the background board of the classic goal, said to himself: "I don't think anyone can beat Manchester United in the championship, not just because of this goal. We saw Manchester United. The first game is very good. Some players in their team may not be at their best, but I don't see any problems on their way to the cup."

Obviously, Sullivan, the main goalkeeper of the Wimbledon team, was stunned by a lob shot by Beckham. He was deifying the opponent everywhere.

And for a period of time after the lob shot was scored, Beckham was no longer able to go out alone, and everyone he met had to chat with him and take photos with him.

A bunch of sponsors came to him, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he asked Old John.

Old John said triumphantly: "David, from today onwards, you have to learn to adapt to the life of being watched by the whole world.

They pay attention to your every move every day, and you have to ignore them, which is the most difficult moment in football. "

At this time, even Fleet Street couldn't hold back, and an idol-making movement quickly started at lightning speed.

Everything about this blond boy was excavated, and the images on the spot and photos from various periods immediately filled the pages of newspapers and the images on TV.Everyone's topic is talking about that amazing boy.The blond boy's age, height, blood type, hobbies, growth experience, first game, first start, first goal...everything has become a rich source of material for reporters.

Interview applications on Fleet Street have filled the office of the club's press officer.Ferguson issued a strict order not to allow reporters to interview Beckham during team training.But this simply cannot resist those all-pervasive reporters.

Beckham really didn't expect this ball to have such a big idol effect. Many people fell in love with him in a daze. They liked him passionately and kindly.

Sports brands want to find him for commercials, and brands outside of sports also want to find him as endorsements.

Talk shows want him to be on the show, game shows want him to have fun, and even many movies want him to be a guest on a show.

Yes, many sour commentators said that the goal was pure luck, but at that moment, luck happened to Beckham, a young man who had worked hard for his dream for more than 20 years. Who can say that this is not an arrangement of God?
And even Ferguson himself doesn't know how powerful the media and fans are.

What a character he and his Manchester United have created for English football.It can even be said that the entire English football world has not realized what a powerful high-quality idol Ferguson and his Manchester United have contributed to football.

The staff of Manchester United's marketing department were dumbfounded, they couldn't accept the sudden wave of panic buying at all.Since Beckham scored that shocking lob, with the help of the media, crazy fans snapped up the jerseys with Beckham's name on them.Not only jerseys, but also all Manchester United products related to Beckham have seen blowout sales.

So Manchester United's marketing department decided to urgently produce some peripheral products within these few months.

It is necessary to print Beckham's words on these products and put his cartoon avatar on them, and this product will be swept away.

It is said that in East Asia, no matter how many Manchester United products with Beckham are shipped, they will be out of stock on the same day.

At that time, the most popular challenge activity in the world was the game of hanging doors near the middle circle.

Nick of The Sun even boldly predicted: "Without David, there would not be so many Manchester United fans in the world. It is he who made more people understand Manchester United and us, and he made more people fall in love with Manchester United."

Just as the Bayesian effect swept the world, Beckham continued to practice free kicks at the Carrington training base.

He found that this goal has cut off his rights as an ordinary person, and now he has no way to appear in the public eye. The enthusiasm of the fans makes him at a loss, and often even makes him feel panic.

He didn't expect that the lob shot would leave him nowhere to go. He was either doing extra training on the training ground or staying at home as an otaku.

Faced with the olive branches offered by many commercial brands, Beckham followed John Sr.’s advice and did not accept any commercial activities, and worked hard to polish his technology.

All players want to make money through business, because this is the fastest way to make money, but too much commercial activities will in turn affect the state of the players, even an 8-year-old child knows this.

Old John told him not to make a move easily. The more he does not participate in business, the rarer he is, the rarer it is.

Old John believes that his popularity will not decrease, but will only increase.

Because he is not an idol group that buys people, but a real professional player. As long as he performs well on the court, his commercial value will only increase.

Faced with his low-key and calm, even Ferguson was surprised: "This kid's family is not rich, but he is not fascinated by money. Believe me, this kid is not an ordinary person.

No one can give what he wants now! "

In this year, some people started calling him heartthrob.
