Chapter 280 Self-cultivation of core players

Beckham chatted with Old John for a long time but couldn't figure out why the four-nation competition was postponed, so he had to give up in the end.

In fact, the two of them didn't care much about the reason. According to Old John, this kind of thing is very common.

He met Beckham from other planes and transferred directly to Juventus after the World Cup. As a result, Manchester United lost the Champions League and they were eliminated by Juventus in the quarter-finals.

The people make history, but the absence of heroes can also reduce the historical status of a club.

Thinking of this, Beckham is in a good mood, which is enough to show that he is very important to Manchester United.

Of course, football is round, and the same game is replayed 10 times, and the process of the game and the final score may be different.

As a player who has figured out the historical context of Manchester United, it is his unshirkable responsibility to let the club at least maintain the historical height.

Within two days, the French Football Association issued a notice for the Four Nations Invitational Tournament.

As previously reported, four teams will participate in this invitational tournament. The hosts France, England, the birthplace of modern football, four-star Brazil, and a team that has won more championships in history will be determined to participate.

The organizing committee of the event claimed that another participating country is still in communication, and there is a high probability that it is the Italian team or the German team that has won the World Cup three times.

This news immediately caused a sensation all over the world. This event can be regarded as a serious large-scale event, and it is a test match for the World Cup in France next year.

The competition system of the invitational tournament is a single round-robin team match, which will be jointly hosted by four stadiums.

Almost on the day when the news of the Invitational Tournament was announced, the Organizing Committee of the Invitational Tournament began to frequently contact various businesses such as broadcast rights, live broadcast advertisements, and stadium advertisements.

The organizing committee of the event promised that in order to conduct a stress test to a greater extent, only 25000 tickets will be sold to French fans for each game, and other tickets will be sold through windows, telephone reservations and website reservations.

If the tickets are not sold out in the last three days, local fans can buy the remaining tickets.

Everyone did not expect that the French Organizing Committee could make the schedule so detailed, and even make it clear how to sell the tickets. This is really un-French.

However, it can also be seen that the French are serious about hosting the World Cup.

The French are all serious, which shows the significance of this event. This is the real preview of the competition.

Such an opportunity is extremely rare. The participating teams can not only compete with the world's top teams, but also understand the venues, transportation, customs and season rhythms of two to three cities.

It is less than 9 months before the World Cup is full, and the opportunity of this competition is very precious for all teams.

So the first debate at the event is eligibility.

Everyone's first question is whether England can deserve a place in the competition.

The Dutch Football Association and the Argentine Football Association jumped most fiercely. They believed that since they wanted to represent the highest level of world football, they should select the England team. How could a team that did not appear in the last World Cup be considered a strong team in the world.

Everyone didn't expect that the quota was confirmed, and the football associations of the two countries jumped out to diss the England team. This is not Ruisby at all!
Everyone thinks that the French are used to being casual, which leaves room for imagination.

For such an important event, they did it as soon as they said they would. They only gave themselves two weeks of preparation time, and flies would not bite seamless eggs.

If it was a German, it is very likely that the event was written into the schedule two years ago, and no one will come out to play tricks at this time.

Beckham and Gary Neville were very angry when they saw the Dutch and Argentine Football Associations blatantly questioning the England team.

Gary Neville, obsessed with Ronaldo, who had been sent flying by a small outburst, was determined to get back on the pitch.

Compared with Gary Neville, Beckham feels that the world he has seen is not as good as the opponent. He has no experience in playing against Brazil at all, which is obviously a disadvantage for the preparation of the game.

This time the FA changed the impression it left everyone in the past, and responded to the question in less than a day.

Their reason is simple. If the British hadn't created football, Argentina would not have been able to become the king of the ball, and it would be impossible for the king of the ball to borrow the "hand of God". He may still be dancing tango with people on the floor.

As for the Dutch, if the English hadn't created football, they wouldn't even have the title of uncrowned king. Cruyff may have increased his smoking to five packs a day.

Secondly, the England team tore up the last runner-up Italy in the just-concluded World Cup qualifiers and threw the opponent into the ice and snow of Moscow.If this is not the strength of the world's top teams, then what counts?

Before the Netherlands and the Argentine Football Association could continue to argue, the French Football Association spoke: "We invited England, firstly because we respect the origin of modern football, secondly because we respect the strength of the other side, and thirdly because the two countries are so close that you can get there by plane in 2 hours, which will not affect the normal progress of the league."

Seeing what the French said, the two countries chose to give up. After all, the messy things here have affected the image of the country a bit.

Hearing the French say that the distance is close, the Germans are also excited. The German Football Association suggested that the French team decide on the participating countries as soon as possible, which will facilitate other preparations for the event.

Speaking of proximity, we in Germany are close to you!Just cross the Rhine and bypass the Maginot Line. We are familiar with this matter.

Now the German-French border is bilingual teaching, so we should move around more.

I believe that through communication, the French can be more rigorous and the Germans can be more romantic.

The French Football Association insists that the Italian men's team can better drive the atmosphere of next year's World Cup.

The Germans are in a hurry. They say that this kind of competition should be based on strength. We just won the European Cup, aren't we very strong?
The French Football Association euphemistically stated that our girls like fresh meat, and the average age of the German team is 33 years old, which is not good at all.

Beckham ushered in the 13th round of the league while eating melons, and his opponent was another crane tail Sheffield Wednesday.

The opponent's score in the first 12 rounds of the league was 2 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, which is the standard outline of a relegated team.

With 7 wins and 5 draws, Manchester United is the only unbeaten team so far this season. How could a small Sheffield Wednesday threaten their status.

Another undefeated team in the league is Arsenal. Their record is 6 wins and 6 draws, 2 points behind Manchester United and ranked No.2 in the league.

However, Arsenal will face Derby County in this round. If they make a mistake, Manchester United can take the opportunity to widen the gap in the standings.

Faced with such a silky championship situation, Ferguson's smile is obviously much more, and if he wants to wrestle with Manchester United, Arsenal may almost feel embarrassed.

Manchester United played at home, and Ferguson boldly sent Cole, Sheringham and Solskjaer to start, forming a powerful trident attack system.

Behind them, there are Scholes and Beckham, and Butt acts as a central midfielder, mainly responsible for sweeping and intercepting.

From the formation point of view, Ferguson has begun to try 4123, which looks extremely "crazy" attack formation.

The morale of the Sheffield Wednesday team was sluggish. When they came up, they put on a defense-oriented posture and shrunk to respond, but they were quickly defeated by Manchester United's fierce artillery fire.

Manchester United, who played at home, got cheers and cheers from the fans at the beginning of the game, and quickly launched a wave of fierce offensive.

Butt passed a pass to the retreating Solskjaer from the outside of the midfield. Solskjaer took possession of the ball and leaned on the opponent's defender with his back, and passed the ball to Sheringham. Sheringham then passed it to Solskjaer who turned around and ran back.

At this time, Cole on the side also actively opened to the corner of the penalty area on the left, taking away another central defender of the opponent.Solskjaer continued to dribble forward and soon passed to Sheringham in the top area of ​​the penalty area.While running, Sheringham adjusted his movements to respond, facing the incoming ball and kicking directly to shoot.This non-stop shot completely caught the opponent by surprise. Xie Wednesday's goalkeeper didn't even have time to react, so he had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net.

1 to 0!No one expected that the offensive system of three forwards could bring such an ideal chemical effect, and Sheffield Wednesday's defense was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing that the Manchester United team was so energetic at the beginning, Old Trafford instantly became a sea of ​​joy.

Everyone understands that with the recent state of the Manchester United team, there is no guarantee for anything else. The abuse of food is definitely serious and meticulous. Today's game is definitely a big score!
As expected, Manchester United continued to charge after the lead. Beckham and Scholes' job was very simple, send the ball into the penalty area, and then watch the trident destroy the opponent's defense.

Five minutes later, Cole and Sheringham connected again. This time, Sheringham reciprocated and sent Cole a second pass.

Cole, who played confidently in the last game, aimed at the goalkeeper and shot a burst. As a result, the football hit the goalkeeper's face and bounced into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

Seeing the goalkeeper lying on the ground covering his face, the morale of Xie Wednesday's team, which was not very high, plummeted.

Manchester United with a two-goal lead was on the rise, and Sheffield was forced to recover across the board on Wednesday.

In the 29th minute, Beckham kicked a large arc cross without any pressure from the right. The ball was as accurate as a guided missile and found Cole directly.Cole lifted his foot in front of the opponent's goal with great ease and scored the third goal.

3 is better than 0!

After scoring the goal, Cole rushed to Beckham's side and knelt on the ground, regardless of whether the opponent agreed or not. Beckham's shoes were raised to his knees, and he lifted his shirt and wiped it indiscriminately.

This spectacle amused the audience on the field. It was the first time I saw other players shine the shoes of their teammates who scored goals.

This made Beckham feel embarrassed, and his smile became green, and Cole was a bit over it.

However, he fully understands the opponent's mood. When he was waiting for the chance to play in the stands, he was in the same mood as Cole.

Although Cole had a long-term scoring drought, all the balls he should pass were passed to the opponent. This is probably the reason why Cole polished his shoes.

In the following games, Manchester United still did not intend to let go of their opponents. Solskjaer and Sheringham scored 3 more goals, 2 of which came from Beckham's assists.

6 to 1!
The Manchester United trident shocked the entire Old Trafford stadium. The three forwards each scored two goals. Sheffield Wednesday left the stadium in disgrace.

What is gratifying is Cole. After the iron tree blossomed, he scored 5 goals in two consecutive games. The forward was promoted to the striker, and Arsenal coach Wenger mentioned Cole after the game: "We paid close attention to the transfer market in the summer and worked hard to cultivate a striker with scoring efficiency.

Cole's sudden recovery is equivalent to Manchester United introducing a super forward at this time, and their offensive ability is terrifying! "

Ferguson's reaction to Wenger's comments was lukewarm. Through contact last season, he has figured out the Frenchman's routine.

The reason why he commented on Manchester United is because Arsenal will face Manchester United at home in the 14th round. The Frenchman wants to warm up the public opinion war.

Facing the rapidly rising Arsenal, Ferguson's fighting spirit was once again aroused.

Over the years, Manchester United's opponents in the Premier League have been constantly rotating, and each opponent has caused them a lot of trouble during the season, but the champion is still Manchester United.

Facing Arsenal, the old man seemed very calm. He fought hard if he could win, and improved if he couldn't. Anyway, Manchester United is not afraid of anyone.

Beckham glanced at the statistics after the game. His season data is 11 goals and 12 assists, which is still so balanced.

His stats in the league are 6 goals and 7 assists, which always looks good, but his goals in the Premier League are slightly less.

The main reason is that the data has not been collected in these two games, so the data has stagnated. Fortunately, this game has sent 3 assists, otherwise it would be a blood loss if there is no data in the abuse game.

He scanned the data of other players. Everyone's goals are relatively average, and his total goals are currently ranked No. 1 in the team.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponents in these few games have strictly defended him, Beckham feels that his statistics can be more decent.

Well. Cole's league goals have been raised to 8 goals, and this guy is a complete beneficiary of the abuse.

Beckham sighed for a while, then put the data matter behind him.

As a future star player, England and Manchester United's playmaker (as the media said), too much focus on gains and losses is not conducive to team victory.

In the past two years, McManaman has made slow progress. He has lost the terrifying data of 25 assists in a single season in the previous seasons, and he has become the second choice even in England's wing.

On November 11th, Manchester United traveled to the Netherlands to play against Feyenoord with two consecutive victories. This is the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

Before the game, the media made a lot of noise. Manchester United had won all three games before and grabbed 3 points.Feyenoord's qualifying situation is hanging by a thread, they are behind Juventus, this game must win to have the only chance.

What is surprising is that Ferguson had a fierce conflict with the opponent's coach before the start of the game. The scolding on the sidelines of the two sides was pushed to the eyes of all the fans by the TV camera, which made people dumbfounded.The Feyenoord coach ridiculed Ferguson for only playing in the Premier League, "In Europe, Manchester United is nothing." The upright Ferguson responded loudly, "Even if I am nothing, I can still kill you in your territory!"

The Dutch fans who supported the home team were quickly angered. They began to curse and boo all night, throwing water bottles and various things that could be smashed down at the visiting team's bench.

Under the instigation of the Feyenoord coach, the home fans gave Ferguson and Manchester United far more treatment than ordinary visiting teams. Their boos claimed to shake down the satellites flying in the sky.

Faced with this situation, Beckham could only show a helpless yet polite smile.

In terms of ability to do things, the old man is definitely Manchester United's leader, and Keane is always drizzle in front of him.

He knew very well in his heart that with such a move, today's game would definitely be exciting!
