Chapter 250
With 15 minutes left before the end of the game, both Keane and Jugovic were sent off.

Ferguson sat on the coach's bench with a terribly gloomy face. The coaches and players around him dared not look at him for fear of being sacrificed.

The Manchester United players on the field looked towards the coach's bench, waiting for the head coach to give further instructions.

Everyone has come here these years. They know that at critical moments, they have to watch the old man speak, and he must have a way.

Ferguson was already pissed off, the game was over with 15 minutes left, can't you bear it a little longer?

If you are a man, just hold back for 15 minutes. This kind of game is not suitable for Kean.

Ferguson beckoned to Brian Kidd, who obediently came over.

"Tell Eric to drop him back into midfield."

Ferguson's tone was very calm, but the assistant coach Brian Keane didn't dare to neglect, he immediately turned around and rushed to the court, passing the instructions to Cantona.

Ferguson has rarely relied on a certain player in his coaching career, but the Frenchman is one.

Cantona seemed to want to say something, but he did it anyway.

The Frenchman touched his collar and ran towards the midfield unhurriedly after confirming that the collar was turned up.

As a legend of the Manchester United team, he is the irreplaceable core of Ferguson's heart, and he continues to prove himself with outstanding performance.

Especially last season, the Manchester United team was old and young. When the standings were overwhelmed by Newcastle, Cantona almost relied on his own strength to lead the little brothers forward.

His goals are not many, but all of them are worth a lot of money. As long as the game fell into a stalemate last season, his teammates would subconsciously pass the ball to him, and he has never disappointed.

Especially in the FA Cup final, just when the game was about to enter overtime, he seized the opportunity of Liverpool's not-too-distant clearance and killed with one blow.

In fact, anyone who has seen that goal should agree that that opportunity is actually not a good opportunity.

The football from Liverpool's clearance almost stuck to him like a dog skin plaster. He used a movement that tested his balance and flexibility to drive the ball into the goal.

Cantona is the pride of the Auxerre youth training, the benchmark of young players in that class, the king of Manchester United, and a player that every French coach does not know how to use.

His life did not end because of the end of his career. He later became an actor, a director, and even led the French beach football team to win the world championship.

In the eyes of his teammates and fans, he is omnipotent, but he does not know his inner fatigue.

As a player who is clearly aware that his competitive state is starting to decline, but will not be called up to the national team, he knows very well that he will never participate in the World Cup again in his life.

If this is the case, then football has become a complete job for him. He doesn't want to wait until he doesn't meet the conditions on the field before leaving the field, but he wants to fight again.

But he felt really tired, and he was the only player on the team who had to rest on the court if he did.

The games of these two seasons have almost exhausted his physical energy. He thinks that the way to win is to replace himself and let those young boys who are full of energy rush again.

But he still respects the head coach's decision and will carry it out without compromise.

The game restarted, and Cantona felt that his footsteps were getting heavier, and every time he accelerated, he had to mobilize his whole body to complete it.

The 29-year-old Deschamps seemed to be electrified, running at a constant speed, non-stop.

Cantona got rid of it twice on the spot, Deschamps was still clinging to him, Juventus' midfielder was not in a hurry to get out, allowing him to stop and turn quickly to consume his energy.

The "King" really wanted to execute the "Kingslayer" in a single battle, but he had more than enough energy.

He turned around and passed the ball to Giggs. The Welshman faced Di Livio and shook continuously.

The two wrestled on the wing for nearly 90 minutes. Giggs' physical fitness was severely reduced, and Di Livio, who was the same year as Cantona, was as aggressive as the opening.

Just when Giggs was hesitating whether to force him, Piero ran back from the frontcourt, and he was about to form a pincer attack with Di Livio.

Giggs hurriedly dribbled the ball towards the backcourt, then swayed the gap and passed the ball to Cantona who came up.

Didier Deschamps was on top of the ball as soon as he received it, enveloping the opponent in his defensive zone.

Cantona was very tired. He had given Deschamps a loophole just now, trying to make the other party desperate to grab him.

In order to let Deschamps take the bait, he almost gave the two equal opportunities at the last moment.

He is very confident that he will win all the duels in this situation. At that time, Juventus' defense will definitely cause a chain reaction because of this rash attack.

If it was Yugovich, he would definitely have to take a gamble just now.

But Deschamps didn't do that. He knew where his advantages were. As long as Cantona was placed in front of him, it would be difficult for the opponent to beat him head-on.

Cantona looked up to observe his teammates. Beckham was running towards the center. There were always people around him, and Bart was also open to meet the ball.

So he crossed the ball to Butt, who passed the ball past Zidane and pushed directly in front of the goal.

He glanced to his right, and the defenders next to Beckham were almost inseparable.

So Butt continued to charge forward with the ball, Solskjaer took away Ferrara, and only Montero was in front of him.

The little brother next to Keane immediately turned horizontally and hit with one step in the penalty area.

Seeing Montero stretch his leg to block the shot and watching Deschamps run towards the football, Beckham yelled badly in his heart.

He and Bart are both in the frontcourt. Manchester United only has Giggs and Cantona in the midfield, while Juventus also has Di Livio and Zidane. Counting Didier Deschamps who is dribbling the ball, and Pollini who is rushing forward, Juventus and Manchester United are almost equal in number.

Cantona rushed up, Deschamps accelerated, and the two were entangled in high-speed running. Bart rushed towards the Frenchman frantically, and Beckham also rushed along the sidewalk towards the backcourt.

But seeing that Bart was about to catch up with Deschamps, Juventus' midfielder suddenly went straight forward.

At this time, Giggs was taken away by Di Livio, and Irwin did not dare to help defend under the threat of Pollini.

Next, we can only look at Gary Neville and the two central defenders.

Gary Neville has already set his sights on Zidane. The French midfielder first dribbled the ball to the right after receiving a through ball, and Gary instantly blocked the breakthrough route.

If the Frenchman magically pulls the football back behind him, then knocks it to the left with his heel.

Seeing this scene, Beckham's heartbeat suddenly rose. The French midfielder's dribbling was so smooth!

The change of direction was sudden, but Gary's defense was still in place.

Zidane pulled the ball back with his left foot and wanted Marseille to spin around. Gary moved quickly and still stood still.

However, Zidane turned halfway and turned back, continuing to break through from the left.

To Beckham's amazement, Gary still stood still.

A few seconds of duel may seem common to ordinary people, but only professional players can understand the power of two people.

Beckham doesn't know much about Zidane, except for the three games of this season, there is no intersection at all at other times.

But just through these few games, he has already experienced the strength of the opponent.

There is nothing wrong with calling him a master of dribbling. The football is like a part of his body, moving with every touch of the ball without any pause.

And the performance of the training madman Gary at this moment repaid his dedication. Facing a midfielder like Zidane, he can already compete with the opponent, and he is not at all inferior.

Gary Neville managed to delay Juventus' counterattack, and Beckham and Butt were able to catch up in no time and form a circle.

Zidane has not entered the room yet, and seeing that the opponent is about to return to defense, he is also panicked.

He turned to face Gary Neville and kicked the football in the crotch, which was basically a jump over the wall.

How could Gary Neville be drilled into the crotch at this time, he tightened his legs hard and blocked the football.

But before the football bounced back, Zidane stabbed the football again with his toe, and thrust the football between Gary's legs abruptly.

Seeing this scene, the audience immediately gasped in amazement, who would have thought that the master of dribbling would use such an unstyled way to surpass others.

Zidane is also in a hurry, he knows very well that if he misses this opportunity, this precious opportunity will never come again.

Now the team is still one goal behind, no matter what method they use, they must find a way to break through.

Zidane hung on to Gary, who was turning around, and rushed forward. The latter gritted his teeth to jam him, but still let him catch up with the football.

The 1-meter French midfielder has a strong impact, and Gary tried his best to stop him.

Zidane accelerated, Gary was knocked to the ground at once, and the Juventus fans roared for their team like crazy in the stands.

Gary Neville, who fell to the ground, grabbed Zidane's uniform. He would rather send a free kick than let the opponent enter the penalty area.

Zidane kept leaning back, and the whole person was about to fall on the lawn.

The moment he was about to fall to the ground, he stabbed the ball to Del Piero.

The young Italian striker dribbled to the right of the penalty area, and Johansen made it up.

Del Piero immediately picked the ball into the penalty area, Boksic took a shot ahead of Pallister, Schmeichel touched the ball, but did not change the course of the ball.

2 to 2, Juventus scored 3 goals in 2 minutes, and Manchester United players saw the advantage of these two goals disappear.

The mood of the Manchester United players is very low. Just 5 minutes ago, they were 2 goals ahead of their opponents, but it took only a few minutes for their opponents to wipe out the advantage they had built up in 70 minutes.

The biggest turning point was Del Piero's coming off the bench and Keane's sending off.

I have to admit that at Manchester United, Keane has no replacement.

Why didn't the club introduce a midfielder?

There are no substitutes in the transfer market
Instead of buying an outsider to run in, it is better to give young players like Beckham, Scholes and Phil a chance.

Another midfielder of the team, Bart, has no problem supporting Keane, but he obviously lacks game experience and can't take the lead at all. The rash shot just now is the best example.

The game continued, Ferguson replaced Giggs with Scholes, and then switched positions with Cantona, he still chose to trust the king.

At this time, among Manchester United's four midfielders, except for Cantona, the other three are all 4 years old.

The Juventus players are all seasoned veterans, and their combat experience in the Champions League is far from comparable to that of young people who participated in the Champions League knockout for the first time.

Manchester United, which lost 2 goals in a row, made substitutions and adjustments and did not change the situation much. Juventus almost surrounded the young Manchester United team in front of the goal and attacked wildly.

Faced with such a situation, Ferguson sitting on the sidelines has nothing to do. What Manchester United is facing now is not Blackburn and Newcastle United.

Under the systematic attack of Juventus, the depressed Manchester United players still did not stand up.

In the 84th minute, Deschamps' shot hit Johansen's arm. The Norwegian central defender thought the opponent was aiming at his arm, but the referee decided it was a penalty.

Zidane, who had begun to bald, achieved it overnight. Manchester United was scored 2 goals in 15 minutes by the opponent in the case of 3 goals ahead.

The moment Zidane scored, Ferguson waved his arms angrily, and he looked at the pitch with dissatisfaction.

Now he has nothing to do, what kind of performance he can play depends entirely on the players on the field.

There are only 5 minutes left in the regular time of the game, and there are only 8 minutes at most before the end of the game.

Cantona called the players together on the field and said: "Guys, I can't run anymore and it's not right to pass the ball to me at this time.

We have to pass the ball to the most threatening player, we have to make a decision immediately, and the decision must be firmly implemented. I think David can use the inside to perform offensive tasks on the left. There is no other way.

Next we should give up the midfield and beat them in the way we are most familiar with. "

Seeing that his teammates had no objections, he pointed to Johansen and said, "Ronnie, you're in the center forward position. Either pass a long pass or pass to David. Guys, we'll fight them!"

The King finally stood up when the team was facing collapse. After his adjustment, Manchester United's formation became 3-4-3.

Time is passing by every minute, and the lagging Manchester United can only fight their opponents.

At this time, there is no essential difference between 2 to 3 and 2 to 4. Either a miracle will be created to equalize the score, or the opponent will be pierced.

The Manchester United players who were compared to the cliff rekindled their fighting spirit and wanted to kill Juventus in the remaining time.

On the coaching bench, Brian Keane asked Ferguson: "Boss, do you think they can adjust like this?"

Ferguson stared at the court intently and said: "If it wasn't for Eric's reminder, I almost forgot David's inside shot. All we can do now is pray."
