Chapter 230 David, kick it well!

Beckham found Ferguson's column in the "Guardian". The name of this issue is "Red Devils Ten Years".

Ferguson took charge of Manchester United on November 1986, 11, and it will be exactly ten years this month. This column is quite commemorative.

He first thanked the members of the board of directors of Manchester United, and then thanked the players who fought side by side, and then started the topic.

"In October 1986, I terminated my contract with Aberdeen Club. I thought I would be unemployed for a long time. It was very embarrassing for me. The biggest fear of the working class is unemployment."

Seeing the opening paragraph, a smile appeared on Beckham's face.

Both humorous and realistic, the style of the old man is still very high.

At this point in the article, Ferguson didn't mention Wenger at all. If he responded to him at this special time, it would appear to be of a low level. The French are newcomers, and they are not famous coaches.

Ferguson recalled his start at Manchester United: "The first three seasons were not so good. No matter how hard we tried, the results were not satisfactory. At one point, I felt very strongly that I would pack up and leave tomorrow.

But these days are not without gains. I got McClair, Bruce, Lee Sharp, Hughes and a group of key players who will compete for the championship for the club in the future. They are the cornerstone of the future. "

Among them, McClair is still on the team. Although he has not yet reached the level of casually joking with the head coach, the old man obviously respects him.

In the following content, Ferguson is still recalling his coaching career, and Beckham slowly looks down.

The old man's article has an immersive feeling, like a naive middle-aged man telling his own story, which is the magic of Ferguson's column.

After watching for a long time, Beckham realized that it took 3 years for his head coach to win the first cup championship and 6 years to win the first league championship.

It's hard to imagine how much suffering the old man has endured in these years. He is neither the chosen one, nor has he proved himself in a short period of time. This pressure is not something ordinary people can bear.

Ferguson continued to describe his feelings since the establishment of the Premier League five years ago: "Over the years, different opponents have challenged us every season. Most of them have a long history. Some clubs bought many excellent players at the same time in order to win the championship. Such a move is really crazy.

We succeed most of the time, but also fail.

The club has encountered various challenges over the years, and we have become the benchmark for other clubs.

The Newcastle United team led by Kevin has been Manchester United's main rival for the past two years. He has done a good job, but if you want a club to stand at the top of the league, it is not advisable to change the starting lineup every season, because running-in is the biggest problem.

I'm flattered that Arsenal's manager, Mr. Arsene, who hired us last month, commented on us in front of the media. This incident once again proves that Manchester United has become the target of catching up with the entire Premier League.

As long as they want to win the league championship, Manchester United must be the most difficult obstacle to pass.

Unfortunately, I can't give him a specific evaluation, because I don't know him, and very few people actually know him.So he should look at the situation first in the first season, instead of thinking too high about the championship.

It's not realistic enough, because no one can be sure whether he will be able to stay at Arsenal next season.

He hasn't taken control of the locker room yet, so it's too early to say anything. "

Hehe, with the character of the old man who is bound to fight back when someone provokes, after all, he left a place for the French at the end.

But after reading this passage, Beckham felt that the old man was using the French to declare to the entire Premier League: If you want to win the championship, you must manage the team well, and it will not be too late to start a verbal battle when the level reaches the level.

It can be seen that Ferguson is completely ignoring Wenger now. After all, the level of coaches Arsenal have hired over the years is not high. The Frenchman is the third head coach to take office in the past two years.

In terms of influence, few coaches in England can match Ferguson.The only one who has the confidence to challenge him is Dalglish, the former Liverpool manager who is considered destined to enter the England Football Hall of Fame.

As a man who has been suppressing Ferguson, Dalglish has a great voice in England.

Even if he leaves Liverpool, he can lead Blackburn to win the league title from Manchester United. Unfortunately, he was inexplicably promoted by Blackburn to a technical director without real power, and has been idle at home for a season.

In terms of status, there is really no head coach who dares to confront Ferguson, let alone Arsene Wenger, who has just arrived.

After Ferguson responded in the media, everyone wanted to see how the French would respond. The turn-based game of head-coach fighting is supposed to have at least three rounds. Now the right to speak has returned to the French, and everyone is waiting to see his jokes.

But unexpectedly, Wenger did not talk about Manchester United again, but the gossip psychology of reporters.

"Mr. Arsene, can you talk about your intuitive feelings after coming to the Premier League for a month?"

The reporter's smile is very interesting. When he asked the question, he emphasized the word "intuitive".

It's just for fun to ask what inscrutable opinion a French coach in England can have.

Wenger said slowly: "The first game left a deep impression on me. We tried our best to control the football, and the Blackburn players basically kicked the ball forward without observing the situation on the field after getting the ball. A style of play that can only be seen in England."

The reporter then continued to ask: "You changed the way the team plays in the first game you came to Arsenal. Have the players adapted to it?"

Hearing this question, Wenger's expression obviously became serious: "I'm not sure how the old players will react to my instructions, because they didn't express much opinion during the preparation for the game, but they showed excellent technical and organizational skills on the field."

No sooner had he answered that question than a third followed: "The players seem to be doing well, so why are you confiscating their candy boxes?"

This funny question made a group of people including Wenger stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. This brain circuit is also absolutely perfect.

Wenger adjusted his mood before saying: "Yes, I took the candy box away. I was very confused when there was a candy box in the dressing room. From a scientific point of view, candy boxes should only appear at birthday parties. These things will only make people happy. It will not help replenish physical strength.

The cereal bars and energy drinks that you usually see in the dressing room of the French Ligue [-] are absent here. I am surprised that some players choose to drink Coke in the dressing room, which is not conducive to winning the game.

Of course, if the game is won, the players will get the candy they want, so they can fully enjoy the fun. "

The first battle between two future Premier League Hall-of-Famers ended badly, but that doesn't mean it's over.

The verbal battle between the two died down, but the game between Manchester United and Arsenal is about to start.

On November 11, Arsenal's bus departed from the hotel to Old Trafford.

As soon as the bus started, Ian Wright turned up his stereo to full volume and sang along with Vieira, who was also a newcomer.

Then the buddy's words changed, and chocolate was suddenly added to all the lyrics.

A few minutes later, the Arsenal players all sang in unison: "Give us back the chocolate! Give us back the chocolate!"

The Arsenal team bus has been singing this song into the Old Trafford stadium.

In the dressing room of the Manchester United team, Ferguson was also very happy. Seeing that the league has played a third of the way, the team's lineup is finally in order.

Giggs returned from injury and Keane's suspension ended, which means that Beckham can play right midfielder again.

To be honest, he played on the wing a total of three times this season, one time as a left midfielder, which is quite sad.

Although he was willing to make up the pot a few times for the victory, he never said that he would continue to make up for it.

Now even Hoddle is asking about his position in the club. If he continues to play like this, he may become a midfielder in the future.

To be honest, whoever is willing to fight hand-to-hand with opponents in the midfield who is capable of playing in a position that can destroy the city, the midfielder and the backcourt should be reserved for thugs, technical talents and workaholics without speed.

"Friends in front of the TV audience, my football commentator Martin Taylor, today's live broadcast will be the focus of this round, Manchester United vs Arsenal at home.

This is the first time that Manchester United have discharged their full main lineup since the start of the league. Both Roy and Ryan returned to the starting lineup, and David appeared in his best right midfielder position.

They suffered a three-game losing streak in the previous league. This game is very important to them. If they lose this game again, it will be a major blow to their league trend.

This game is also very important for Arsenal's new coach Arsene Wenger. He has two wins and two draws in his first four league games in charge. The game against the defending champion will be an important test for him.

If they can beat Manchester United away, Arsenal will officially enter the title race.

Whether the losing streak of Manchester United bottomed out or the French coach brought a new look to Arsenal, let us wait and see! "

Manchester United played their usual 4-4-2 formation, while Arsenal did the same.

Arsenal have ditched their 5-3-2 defensive counter-attacking formation since Arsene Wenger arrived and replaced it with a four-man midfield formation.

Because of the introduction of Vieira, Arsenal now dare to challenge all opponents in midfield.

At the very beginning of the game, Beckham noticed something about the French midfielder. The big man was particularly nimble with his feet, and his confrontation ability turned out to be very good.

When the two played against each other for the first time, something went wrong. Pratt on the left gave his new teammate a mountain ball at the beginning of the game, and Keane immediately rushed over aggressively.

Vieira didn't panic, he ran a few steps, touched the ball with his long legs first, and then made a Marseille roundabout in front of Keane.

How could the hot-tempered Irishman sit back and watch his opponent fool himself with such a coquettish move? He followed up and charged hard, and Vieira was almost knocked down by him from behind.

Unexpectedly, this big French man who looked a little thin was not a good guy, he immediately bumped back, and the arms of the two were entangled.

The faces of the two of them were pressed together for an instant, and then they started spamming each other.

The teammates around him instantly formed a group, and Pratt was about to push Keane when he came up, but Beckham knocked him away, and the players on both sides rushed forward.

Stimulated by the two people, Keane's hand had already pinched Vieira's face. The Frenchman tried hard to break free, but he couldn't break free. His face immediately showed embarrassment mixed with anger, and he also grabbed Keane's team uniform.

In the end, it was Adams and Cantona who intervened to separate the players on both sides. Vieira, who had suffered a disadvantage, rushed towards Keane several times before being held back by his teammates.

With the referee by his side, Keane pointed to the opponent's nose and kept saying something that sounded righteous: "This is not a place for you to play wild, put away your fancy moves!"

Considering that the game had just started, the referee on duty had to give a verbal warning to the two.

Adams put his arms around Beckham and said earnestly: "David, when it comes to the international arena, the referee will never sit idly by. Football games should use football to speak."

Beckham could only laugh and laugh, he didn't expect this alcoholic to have a deep obsession with international competitions.

This small episode made the game full of gunpowder. The central area of ​​the stadium seemed to become a battlefield for two teams. Every battle between the two sides in the midfield was like a hand-to-hand battle.

Manchester United dominated the midfield and they were more aggressive in the first half, but Arsenal's defense, led by Adams, managed to defuse the home team's attack.

At the end of the first half, neither team scored a goal.

In the locker room, Ferguson encouraged the players while clapping his hands: "Boys, you did a good job in the first half. We can't expect to quickly defeat the opponent in every game, but the initiative is in our hands.

I ask you to step up the tempo in the second half, our fitness has the upper hand, and when they are dragged down, our chance will come. "

"Manchester United made adjustments in the second half. Their offensive focus returned to the two wings. Ryan and David frequently attacked the opponent's defense. Lee Jackson and Nigel Winterburn couldn't keep up!"

Arsenal's left-back is 33 years old and the right-back is 32 years old. These two men are important members of Arsenal's classic defense.

The four players in their defense are all over 1 meters tall, and it is difficult for Manchester United's corner kick tactics to open gaps in them.

But professional players eat like youth. In front of the two young players of the Manchester United team, the two veterans of Arsenal gradually lost their strength after 70 minutes.

Arsenal's two midfielders could only fill in frequently, and Manchester United took control of the midfielder at once.

As the team's defense commander, Adams' life is not easy. He has to keep an eye on Solskjaer and prevent Keown from being eaten by Cantona. He has no time to take care of his teammates on the wing.

In the 75th minute, Manchester United passed the ball to Cantona's feet through a series of offensive cooperation in the middle. The Frenchman wiped the ball over Keown at the first touch, and he immediately raised his foot to hit.

Adams's tackle came late, the football flew to the upper left corner of the goal, and Old Trafford was boiling. It was another classic Cantona-style attack.

Just when everyone thought that the shot was sure to go in, the goalkeeper Seaman jumped up and miraculously blocked the ball on the crossbar with his fingertips.

Solskjaer received the ball and made a supplementary shot, which was blocked out of the penalty area by Adams.

Vieira got the ball and immediately passed it forward. Bergkamp changed direction and passed Irvine, and immediately crossed when Johansen defended.

"Ian Wright got rid of Pallister in an instant and he was one-on-one with Peter.

England's fast horse raised his leg and hit him, Peter fell to the ground to save him, he was cheated!
Ian misses the keeper, shoot!

God, Gary flies to block the football!
Corner kick, this is Arsenal's best chance to score in this game, what a pity! "

Martin Taylor shouted excitedly in the studio, and Ferguson was so angry that he wanted to roar, but when the two teams were competing, he could only keep clapping his hands to encourage the players.

80 minutes into the game, Arsenal could only resist with a counterattack, while Gary Neville blocked Ian Wright's breakthrough in a row, and Manchester United's morale was boosted.

In the 83rd minute, Giggs ate Lee Jackson raw with speed, passed to Solskjaer in the middle, and the baby-faced shot hit the post.

In the 85th minute, Beckham also ate Winterburn raw with his speed. He drove the ball into the penalty area, tricked Adams out and passed it to the back point suddenly.

Giggs headed the ball and Seaman touched the football again.

The football bounced back into the penalty area, Keane kept up with the volley, and was blocked by Vieira who returned to the defense.

Keane turned around to get the ball, and the two got entangled.

Keane staggered and seemed to lose control of the ball as Vieira struck hard.

The Frenchman saw the timing and stretched out his legs to stab the football. Just when his left foot was about to touch the football, Keane, who was still a weak chicken just now, suddenly broke out and stabbed the football away first.

Vieira suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't take back his actions.

He stabbed Keane's foot, and the Irishman screamed in pain as if hit by a shell, flew nearly two meters away, and rolled on the ground with his legs hugged.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Manchester United won a free kick in an excellent position at the end of the game.

Vieira held his head and complained to the referee, and the referee on duty said loudly: "Go away, you fouled!"

The Frenchman looked aggrieved, while the Irishman threw the football in his arms at Beckham, and then pretended to be wronged and said: "David, play well! As long as they enter, they are finished!"

Beckham could only smile helplessly, this thing is not as simple as you said.

Looking at Keane's painful expression, he thought that the Irishman was injured again, only to find out that this buddy was acting when he saw the other's contrived expression.

I didn't expect this guy to like acting.
