Chapter 213 Handsome and Tough

Manchester United started the season with a wonderful game, but it does not mean that the team can go smoothly in one season, and the road to defending the title has never been smooth.

At the beginning of the season, Andy Cole got pneumonia, which gave Ferguson a bit of a headache.

The "King of Airplanes" last season shot more shots than he scored goals, but Manchester United's system still needs him.

With him playing hide-and-seek with tall English defenders in the box, Cantona was comfortable in the frontcourt.

Without him, the Frenchman would have to break through the opposition's defense in the frontcourt.

Although he performed well in the first game, apart from him, every Manchester United striker can play.

Now Manchester United can play Cantona among the strikers, and there are 33-year-old McClair, Solskjaer who was acquired in the new season, and Cruyff Jr. who came from py.

From the frontcourt to the backcourt, Manchester United's lineup has no obvious advantages compared with other teams.

If something goes wrong for Manchester United in the league, it is not impossible for Newcastle United to come from behind.

But United got a surprise from their move, with Norwegian striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wreaking havoc across the opposition's defense in the Reserve League and scoring both goals.

After watching the game, Ferguson did not hesitate to transfer this baby-faced Norwegian striker into the first team.

The league has just started, and Ferguson doesn't intend to take last season's winning lineup from the first game.

With the experience of last season, he is still planning to expand the number of regular players, so as not to get injured at the end of the league. Even he himself dare not let other players play.

In the league opener, Manchester United stole all the limelight with Beckham's shocking kick.Manchester United easily beat Wimbledon in the opening game of the Premier League. The strength of the team, especially Beckham's outstanding performance, captured everyone's attention.

Two consecutive big victories made the players take victory for granted, especially Roy Keane has a tendency to open map shots.

Ferguson and the coaching staff discussed several times in a row and decided to "de-core" the team. He constantly changed the player combination during training, and tried to rotate the lineup during the season.

When the starting lineup for the second game was announced, Keane pouted his mouth: "I played well and my body is great, how can I become a substitute."

Also surprising was Beckham, who was deployed centrally alongside Butt, with Poborski starting at right-midfield.

Seeing Manchester United's starting lineup, the media once again engaged in enthusiastic routines: What is Ferguson going to do?

The previous lineup played well, if they didn't take advantage of the enthusiasm to win a few more games, why did they start to rotate?

In this way, before the start of the second round of the league, Manchester United became a hot spot again.

The Charity Shield beat Newcastle, Beckham kicked a super lob, and the news of Manchester United's second-round rotation made them continue to make headlines.

Ferguson did not expect that everyone's attention to Manchester United could reach such a level.

The commercialization of football has just started. Everyone has not figured out how to give teams and players commercial value. The degree of media attention is always unexpected.

Beckham's highlight moment overshadowed another shining star, "Pulsatilla" Ravanelli.

The Italian striker could have established himself as a Premier League superstar in his first game at Middlesbrough, but he found that in the end not too many people were paying attention.

Middlesbrough's game against Liverpool at home was full of twists and turns. Middlesbrough was very tenacious and tenacious. Liverpool had led three times, but under the leadership of Ravanelli, Middlesbrough fought back hard every time.

Ravanelli is completely possessed by the gods. He kicked his head, rushed repeatedly, scored three goals in a row, helped the team fall behind three times and tied three times, and he just grabbed a point from Hao Qiang.

The Middlesbrough fans loved him to death and every team in the Premier League was shocked by his performance.

However, Manchester United's performance still won more attention. Ravanelli knew that his situation was not easy. This was a more difficult challenge.

Even though he has many famous teammates and the team lineup looks luxurious, the overall combat effectiveness of the team is still lacking.

Probably due to the influence of Maradona's ability to let Naples win the championship, in the early days of the Premier League, many Italian stars chose to come to the Premier League to help the poor through technology, hoping to create their own myth in the Premier League.

Gullit and Vialli went to Chelsea, and he came to Middlesbrough. They both want to make achievements in the middle and lower teams.

But they underestimated the toughness of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. England's strong historical heritage does not allow such a hero to be alive and kicking on the court, and they have no soil for success.

In the second league game, Manchester United faced Everton at home.

Everton has no bright stars. They are in the middle of the league all the year round, but Toffee is not synonymous with sweetness, but a hard bone that all major teams feel headaches.

They are not super sweet candies, nor are they salty candies. If someone dares to mess with them, they will definitely suffer.

Everton emphasizes the British style of play, with tough defense, bold and decisive offense, and the tactics of crossing from the wing are particularly skillful.

Ferguson did not dare to be careless, but it is a pity that the main striker Andy Cole continued to be absent, and he had to lie in the hospital for more than a month.

So Cruyff continued to start. He has balanced abilities and exquisite skills. Although compared with his father, he is a father and son, and even his job was paid for by his father, but he played really well.

The team's two wingers are Ryan Giggs and Poborski. This combination of double wings is radiant in any level of competition.

On the defensive line, Phil, Pallister, David May and Irvine have been very stable in the first few games.

Especially the younger brother squeezed the elder brother to the bench and played well.

The only thing that was a bit discordant was the team's middle lane, where Beckham and Butt were "knocked" together by the old man.

The two 21-year-old players are limited by their lack of experience, lack of cooperation, lack of hardness, and their ability to protect the defense is average.

But Ferguson is the top iron, he just dare not put a healthy Keane on the table.

Just to let everyone see who is the boss of the team!

Beckham stood in the middle with his hips akimbo, always feeling that something was wrong.

In the past, it was fine to just play all the way, but now I always feel that both sides are leaking, and the sense of security is seriously lacking.

He has played in midfield, but the teammates around him are all tough guys like Keane.

Bart's ability type is half flesh and half offensive. It seems that he can attack and defend, but in fact he can't occupy both ends, which is really embarrassing.

At the beginning of the game, the Everton players gritted their teeth and toughened Manchester United. Beckham made continuous kicks, and the opponent's midfielder did not let him go.

After some testing, Everton found that Manchester United's midfielder was actually not easy to bully, mainly because Beckham and Butt didn't stick to the ball, so they couldn't take advantage of it.

Both Poboski and Cruyff are players who ignore defense on a daily basis. After a few waves of offense, Everton found a breakthrough all at once.

Everton's offensive organization is very simple. Often the midfielder will directly send out long passes to Duncan Ferguson, and other players will surround him to grab the second spot.

Duncan Ferguson, the high center forward, caused Manchester United's defense to suffer almost every time, and Pallister and David May could hardly withstand his impact.

Duncan Ferguson is a fellow of the Manchester United coach, and Beckham found the commonality between the two from the way he played football, that is stubbornness.

The 1-meter tall center was injured last season and didn't get many chances to play. After fully recovering from the injury, he was simply a bug on the court.

Manchester United's two central defenders could hardly grab the header around him, and the Everton players were like jackals, looting the second place.

In the 20th minute, the Everton midfielder pushed forward on the right, and after being blocked, he turned to the center. A short pass was passed to Duncan Ferguson, who was back at the top of the penalty area. Too late to save, Everton leads 1-0!

The lagging Manchester United seemed to have been beaten, and did not organize an effective offensive in time.On the contrary, in the second half of the first half, the opponent's traditional high ball pass tactics succeeded.

Everton's cross from the right has already caused panic in Manchester United's penalty area. Without a central defender to follow up, the Everton striker with his back made the ball out with his chest, and his teammates quickly moved to the left.

Everton's left-back made a cross from the bottom. Ferguson overwhelmed Manchester United's central defender and goalkeeper Schmeichel in the penalty area.

2 is better than 0
Manchester United trailed 0 to 2 in the first half, especially the second goal conceded, and the underpants were almost pulled down.

A large part of the responsibility for Manchester United's second goal should be attributed to Schmeichel. He had taken the initiative, and there should have been enough time to jump up and block after facing the ball to judge, but the Dane did not take off enough.

Ferguson was furious. During the intermission, he angrily yelled at the players to wake up quickly, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Who the hell do you think you are! Your tail is up before you get any honor!

To be honest, you are nothing yet.Once you leave Manchester United, there is no difference between you and Kanchelski.

Your dad's a shipyard, your dad's a carpenter, your dad's a fucking gymnast
If you dare to play like this, I will deal with you at the end of the season.

Why don't you ask David, what's it like to play in the fourth division?The locker room has to be cleaned by myself, the team uniforms that have been changed have to be taken home and washed by themselves, and the head coach has to go to the factory to work part-time at night.

If you don't play well, you will go to hell! "

After the old man's hair dryer was turned on, the Manchester United players in the dressing room didn't even dare to breathe.

Seeing that the players were being honest, Ferguson slapped the tactical board and said, "I don't let you play to force your body. I ask you to control the ball under your feet and not give them a chance to kick!"

Ferguson used a hair dryer to unify his thoughts, but his rough evaluation made the players extremely bloody.

Manchester United adopted a strong pressing tactic in the second half and soon set off a siege of Everton's goal.

In the middle of the second half, Beckham made a precise pass from the right, and the ball accurately found his teammates in the penalty area.The blond-haired Cruyff jumped high, faced the ball with a lion shake, and headed the ball into the dead corner. Manchester United chased 1 to 2!

Beckham rushed into the goal to pick up the football and beckoned his teammates not to waste time.

At this time, I can't take care of etiquette. Whoever plays well is the father.

Cruyff followed him and ran back to the center line.

Soon, Manchester United attacked again, forcing the opponent to make a panic clearance to the right with a cross from the left. Irvine quickly pressed up to the frontcourt. He forced the Everton defender to score an own goal with a cross from the right.

2 to 2!Manchester United finally grabbed a point in the away game and drew with their opponents with difficulty.

United's third Premier League game is at home to Blackburn Rovers.

The result of this game was unexpected, almost completely replicating the process of the previous round.Manchester United actually fell behind twice again, and finally tied twice again.

Schmeichel's state continued to slump, and his performance was even worse.

In the first half, Blackburn made a pass from the left. Manchester United's central defender completely missed the opponent. The opponent's forward faced Schmeichel in the penalty area and took off with a header.
Immediately afterwards, he was shot through the near corner by his opponent and added another low-level error.

The rest of the defense wasn't much better, and Pallister wondered what he was thinking when Blackburn scored the second goal, watching the opponent pass the ball, giving the striker enough time to hit a blast.

This time, before the old man could speak, Pallister took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Boss, I was responsible for the two conceded goals in the first half. I made an unforgivable mistake."

Ferguson laughed angrily: "Where did you stand in the locker room and fight against me back then? Why can't you guard against anyone?"

The old brother was useless, and Ferguson was forced to take risks and play against each other.

The Manchester United players showed their power again in the second half, and Beckham became the strongest meat shield in the midfield.

In the 55th minute, he gritted his teeth and fought for half the ball with the Blackburn midfielder.

Beckham sprinted to the ground, and before the defenders were in position, he made another bottom tackle and shoveled the ball to Cantona.

Without looking at his teammates, the French flicked the outside of his left foot and passed the ball towards the penalty area.

Cruyff's dog was like a golden retriever seeing a Frisbee, panting and rushing to the penalty area, and successfully pushed the shot from the near corner.

1 is better than 2!

Beckham hopped into the goal to pick up the ball, and the Blackburn goalkeeper held the ball in his arms, refusing to let go.

Cruyff and Cantona surrounded the goalkeeper, and the already impatient Beckham punched the football, and the goalkeeper let go.

He picked up the football and ran towards the center line.

Seeing how fierce his little handsome boy was, the fans stood up again, and cheers immediately sounded in Old Trafford.

Others are black and hard, our Manchester United is handsome and tough, let's see who is domineering.

On the sidelines, Ferguson clapped Solskjaer to him.

"Son, are you ready?"

Solskjaer nodded timidly.

Ferguson patted him on the shoulder: "Don't feel pressured, I let you play to score goals, don't think too much about other things except scoring goals."

Without waiting for Solskjaer to react, he pushed the opponent into the pitch and shouted at the Manchester United players: "Pass him!"
