Chapter 322
With the end of the awards ceremony, the 1997-1998 season also came to an end.

Manchester United lost their captain at the beginning of the season and lost to Arsenal in key battles. The advantage in the standings was forced from 12 points to 1 point and still had the last laugh and became the final winner.

The Premier League this season can be described as exciting, and Manchester United has shown its strength to be superior to the crowd at the beginning.

At the end of the first 10 rounds, many people believed that the competition for the league championship had lost its suspense. At that time, Manchester United was almost on the verge of being crushed.

Even Blackburn's head coach Dalglish has repeatedly stated in front of the media that "I am the main player", this sentence has already reflected his half-abandoned state.

The English coach's expression at this time is usually simple and rude. His speech can only prove his lack of confidence.

After captain Keane's injury and a suffocating schedule, Manchester United failed to take advantage of the momentum to expand their advantage in the standings.

However, with their amazing performance in the first 10 rounds, they still maintained their lead in the standings and maintained a strong unbeaten record of 20 rounds.

When the schedule advanced to February, Manchester United inexplicably lost to several mid-lower teams, and the speed of progress suddenly slowed down.

After losing Keane, Scholes and Butt were almost all in the later games. Ferguson was determined to let the rotation lineup play the FA Cup.

In March, Manchester United played 3 games in the first 15 days. The high-density schedule made the team exhausted. After losing to Arsenal in the Tianwangshan battle for the championship, their lead was only 5 point.

It wasn't until this time that people were surprised to find that after half a season of tempering, the foreign corps under Wenger's command has become so strong that it is surprising that other teams in the Premier League can't stop their victory.

More and more people are optimistic about Arsenal, and what they hold is the script of Manchester United two years ago.

Judging from the trend of the league, the Manchester United team at that time was very similar to the Newcastle United team two years ago, and the lead was not as good as the opponent.

At that time, if Manchester United's breath was relieved, the league champion would definitely be Arsenal who did not run.

At this time, the fighting spirit of Manchester United played a key role. After they lost to Arsenal, they won all the subsequent games and successfully defended the title abruptly.

At the end of the league, Manchester United finally won the championship with 29 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, accumulating 92 points. This score created the highest record since the establishment of the Premier League.

In addition, Manchester United scored 90 goals and conceded only 22 goals this season, becoming the team with the most goals and the fewest goals conceded this season. These two statistics also created Premier League history.

From this point of view, even though the process is difficult and dangerous, Manchester United still deserves to win the championship.

The league championship this season also made Manchester United the first team in Premier League history to win three consecutive championships.

With the most points, the most goals scored, the fewest goals conceded, and the first three consecutive championships, Manchester United created four records at once.

In terms of players, Beckham has become the No.1 player who has achieved "30+20" data in all competitions since the establishment of the Premier League. He has scored 31 goals and obtained 21 assists this season, becoming Manchester United's veritable frontcourt core.

With such amazing statistics, Beckham is indisputably the best player in the Premier League.

The Premier League official, the Professional Players Association and the Journalists Association agreed that Beckham is the best player of the season, and also avoided a lot of verbal battles.

Since the inception of the Premier League, the selection of the best player has been a rare event at the end of the season.

Officials, the Professional Players Association and reporters will each delineate a group of players who have performed well, and then vote on their own, and then announce the results of the selection.

As a result, there have been many miracles in which the three best players have appeared at the same time in many seasons.

The most interesting thing is that in the 2010-2011 season, Bell, who scored 7 goals and sent 1 assist, was named the best player of the season by the Professional Players Association.

Some people interpreted Parker's election as an insinuation by the Journalists' Association that Parker's West Ham United dropped beautifully.

In short, as soon as the results of the selection are released, there will always be heated discussions among many experts, beastmen, and celebrities, and sometimes they can take pictures of each other's brains.

The British seem to particularly enjoy the control of the right to speak. At the beginning of the establishment of FIFA, four football associations were thrown out in one breath, and they threatened that FIFA would stop playing if they did not agree.

For one award, there are three organizations bubbling up, all claiming that they are the authority, which is the source of everyone's happiness.

Fortunately, this season, Beckham has unified three evaluation agencies, avoiding the annual farce.

On the scorer list, Weah scored 31 goals and won the Golden Boot. The Liberian striker really has real skills, and other players can't even see his taillights.

Beckham won the silver boot with 19 goals, and a midfielder ranked No.2 in the scorer list, which is not shameful.

The No.3 scorer list is 18-year-old Michael Owen, who won the No.18 scorer list with 3 goals.

Last season's top two scorers, Shearer and Fowler, were not ranked in the forefront of the scorer list due to long-term injuries.

The difference is that Shearer was injured twice at intervals, and now he has recovered, and he also helped Newcastle successfully land in the relegation battle.

And Robbie Fowler is more sad. He was injured and overhauled in the last few months of the season, and he will definitely miss the World Cup in France.

What he missed at the age of 23, he will never get it again in his life.

On the third day after the end of the league, the England team announced the French World Cup squad. A total of 30 players were selected for the squad. The head coach will reduce the final list to 23 players based on everyone's training.

Beckham, Scholes, Butt, Neville Brothers, Husky, and Cole are all on the list. Manchester United sent a total of 7 players to the squad, which basically reflects the responsibility of England's overlord.

Arsenal provided important support for the "lower body" of the England team. Seaman, Adams and Keown are all players with full combat effectiveness.

Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham all contributed at least 2 players. These clubs are the largest sources of the England team.

England's round time is May 5, while the Champions League will be played on May 22.

Such a schedule means that when other players can indulge for two or three days, relax for another two or three days, and then fully reserve their physical strength, the strings of the Manchester United players have always been stretched, and there is no way to relax at all.

Real Madrid players are not much better, they have not played against Barcelona in La Liga, and the final is also looked down upon.

You must know that Barcelona lost 0 to 4 to Dynamo Kiev in the group stage, and was kicked by the opponent without any temper.

Real Madrid can't even play against them, how can they compete with Manchester United who defeated Kiev 4-0?

Of course, this is just the thinking of those with strong brains.

In the Champions League final, the outcome is determined by one game, and anything can happen.

Despite this, European football generally believes that Manchester United is in good shape. Real Madrid stumbled in the second half of the season and won nothing except the Champions League. Generally speaking, Manchester United has a higher probability of winning the championship.

Ferguson never believed in this. He insisted that the road to victory was full of thorns, but he firmly believed that his team would be the ultimate winner.

He is always paying attention to the news of other giants, so he will not write about what fans love to watch for money, like the media.

In fact, Real Madrid's combat effectiveness is very strong, but because of the locker room problem, they are not promoted in the domestic league.

In order to regain the league championship from Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid invited the Italian Capello this season. The biggest characteristic of this head coach is strictness, harshness and high pressure.

His character determines that he can only succeed in Real Madrid for one season each time, and will be "impeached" by the locker room bosses in the second season.

Sure enough, last season, the Real Madrid player who was pointing at which game to play suddenly began to be disobedient this season, which caused him to have a poor record and leave in embarrassment.

Regarding Real Madrid and Capello, the Spanish media has another saying: Real Madrid can't do it, and Capello is a strong medicine.

In the first season of his arrival, Real Madrid took Dali pills and suddenly became strong, and the effect was very good.

But giving Real Madrid strong drugs this season is counterproductive, because they are always taking drugs and their health is even worse, so Real Madrid collapsed and Capello was collapsed.

And his successor is the German Heynckes, is a legend.

He started his coaching career in 1979 and did not retire until 2018. His coaching career lasted 39 years.His longest coaching time at a club is only 4 years, which is far less famous than the head coaches like Ferguson and Wenger.

But if you look at his resume, you will find that this person is not simple.

He started his coaching career at the age of 34 and has coached 39 teams in his 10-year career.

With such a high frequency of job-hopping, after leaving a team in his coaching career before the age of 60, he will definitely find his next home within a year.

Moreover, well-known European teams such as Bayern, Bilbao, and Borussia have repeatedly invited him to coach, which shows that he definitely has two brushes.

The long-term wandering life has trained him to quickly integrate into the new team. Capello is harsh on the players, but he is humane, and the overall effect is not bad.

Of course, Real Madrid can't be coached by anyone who wants to coach, and few people can succeed in this team from beginning to end.

England fans had high expectations, the strings in their minds were always tense, and Beckham repeated his tormenting and boring life day after day.

Fortunately, the company of his parents and Sophie Marceau in turn can relieve his mood a little bit, which is an experience he never had in the last season.

Last season, he struggled for a few days before the Champions League final, but after the final there was a long vacation, which gave him great spiritual comfort.

Judging from the situation this year, it will take at least one month to usher in the holiday.

If the England team is out of the group stage, he may have an extra week or two of holidays, but this is not what he wants.

If you want to play, play well, play a few good games vigorously, and have no regrets.

But the more this is the case, the more mentally fatigued. After all, he has played more than 50 games in a season, and he is lying to himself if he says he is not tired.

Having been conflicted in his heart for a few days, Beckham felt that his emotions were slowly recovering. He believed that Manchester United could win and take part in the World Cup with the Champions League title, which would be a good start for all Manchester United players.

As the physical fatigue gradually faded, Beckham's confidence became more and more abundant. He felt that Manchester United should not be afraid of Real Madrid.

During this period of time, he saw a recent photo of Gascoigne in the newspaper. With the injury and overeating in the second half of the season, this guy gained weight for two laps. Beckham felt that this young and famous talented midfielder was a bit overhanging.

On May 5, Manchester United and Real Madrid faced each other at the Arena Arena in Amsterdam.

The theme song "Champions League" sounded on the arena. The prototype of this song is the coronation chants of the British king. British composer Bretten changed his magic to the current appearance in 1992.

But you can tell the song just by listening to the tune, and a tune that is grand, showy and eulogizing at the same time is likely to come from the British who are best at showing superiority.

The theme song was played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and not far from them stood the St. Martin's Choir.

The music started, and Beckham heard his own heartbeat.

I didn't expect to be so nervous by a carol in this life.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and St. Martin's Choir were perfect, and the songs were both uplifting and soothing, and the fans at the Amsterdam Arena were suddenly excited.

At this moment, Beckham is trying to adjust his heartbeat by taking deep breaths, and by the way, divert his attention to adjust his emotions.

Professional players know that nervousness will accelerate the consumption of physical energy, which is one of the reasons why Mengxin is always at a disadvantage in important competitions.

Beckham looked sideways at his teammates. He saw Scholes blushing, Gary Neville pale, and Giggs shaking his legs. He should be shaking.

Seeing that the partners who grew up together have become like this, Beckham's nervousness was relieved a lot.

Happiness is not only out of struggle, but also out of comparison.

Just when he closed his eyes and was about to enjoy the pleasure brought by the music, the performance stopped abruptly
Accompanied by cheers, Beckham opened his eyes and observed the surroundings with a smile. At this time, he must not think too much.

As long as the game starts, the emotions can be relieved immediately, which is his experience in the past few years.

The two teams took a group photo and then formed a circle. Schmeichel shouted: "After today, we will be the European champions, where is the glory?"

"Manchester United!"

The Manchester United players began to hug each other, and everyone was silent. Sometimes, the language is pale.

Not far away, the Real Madrid players looked sternly, watching the Manchester United players quietly, they were ready.

In the neutral stands of the stadium, a considerable number of fans got up and took off their jackets, and then revealed Beckham's support uniform, which shocked the whole of Europe.

The authentic Red Devils and the infiltrated shell fans slowly gathered together, and the Manchester United team anthem immediately sounded throughout the stadium.
