Chapter 363 A New Beginning

After a day of rest at home, Beckham immediately started a short vacation.

The Premier League will start on August 8, and the Manchester United team has already started training in mid-July.It stands to reason that Beckham should join the training camp after the World Cup is over, but considering the player's physical condition, Ferguson chose to let him return to the team on August 15.

Beckham's chosen vacation location is La Palma, Spain, which has volcanoes, forests, beaches and a starry night sky at the same time.

The most important thing is that this undeveloped island has less traffic, which is very suitable for Beckham to take Sophie Marceau on vacation.

No way, with the end of the World Cup in France, Beckham is the second most recognized player.

As the technical core of the England team, he sent out 4 goals and 6 assists in less than six games. The number of goals even equaled that of Ronaldo, the two consecutive World Footballer of the Year.

The player with the highest recognition is Zidane. Before the World Cup, he was just a good player.

But after the World Cup final, he became a world-class player.

He has his own "Mediterranean" and smashed the football into Brazil's goal twice in a row.

That's right, it's smashing in!
Those two goals sealed France's victory and he was the undisputed star of the final.

Many players used this World Cup to prove their strength. Baggio showed the role of an absolute star from the first game. He cooperated with Vieri when Del Piero was abnormal and Inzaghi was single-type. Italy team and France team scored a penalty shootout.

In the penalty shootout, he was the first to score a penalty kick, which can be regarded as completely exorcising the demons.

To be honest, he cannot be blamed for the Italian team's runner-up four years ago. Without him, Italy would have had difficulty scoring goals.

And Shearer has thoroughly proved the value of the British center in France. He scored 7 goals in 7 games and became the first top scorer with more than six goals since 1974.

The 28-year-old Newcastle striker is considered to be the most underrated England striker except for his speed, which is a bit stretched.

The Croatian striker, who was sitting on the bench at Real Madrid, scored 6 goals and showed his strength to the world.

Ronaldo is the one who stretches the hip the most. He was in a very mediocre state throughout the World Cup. He only scored 4 goals and fainted before the final, which caused the Brazilian team to participate in the final without warming up.

Of course, Beckham doesn't care about this, he doesn't think about anything now, he just wants to lie on the beach for a few days without thinking about anything.

After the World Cup, he regrettably found that there were fewer and fewer places for him to spend a peaceful vacation.

No matter where he and Sophie Marceau go, they will be surrounded by crowds, so they choose this small island that has not been deeply developed.

Beckham lay on the beach, looking at the blue sea, thinking about whether to book a small island for a few days of quiet rest in the future.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the residual heat of the World Cup is still hot.

The World Cup in France after the expansion is considered a milestone in the history of the World Cup. The number of participating teams in this competition was expanded to 32 for the first time.Moreover, the quality of many games is extremely high, and they have high research value in terms of skills and tactics.

The expansion of this World Cup has the most direct effect. Almost all the strong teams can participate in the finals, and at the same time, they include most of the world's superstars.

The World Cup is very rare to be a big gathering of giants in history—not to mention the champions of Brazil, Italy, Argentina, Germany, and England, Nigeria and Cameroon in Africa, Colombia in South America, Mexico in North America, Bangzi and island countries in Asia, and top and quasi-first-class teams from European continents such as the Netherlands and Denmark.

Although it is a pity that Portugal, the Czech Republic and Sweden failed to enter the finals, the flaws are not concealed.

The favorite to win the championship, the Brazilian team has a large number of talents, and the whole team is almost all superstar-level players, among which the "alien" Ronaldo is the most eye-catching.Ronaldo won two World Footballer of the Year in Barcelona and Inter Milan, and is recognized as the most talented player in the world.

In addition, the Dutch team has also attracted much attention. The Dutch team represented by Bergkamp and the golden generation of Ajax 95 has also completed the succession.

The German team won the European Cup two years ago. When the media reviewed the World Cup, they found that the German team was not bad. They just lost the world-class midfielder Sammer in the old transition. Otherwise, there is still great hope of reaching the semi-finals.

Vieri of the Italian team is in full swing, and Baggio is still alive.Outside of Europe, the Argentine team cleaned out dissidents after Marshal Passarella took office, including the rebellious Redondo and Caniggia, but there are still superstars such as Batistuta in the team.

No one expected that the host country could finally win the championship. Even if they counted in the draw and schedule, not many people thought that this mysterious team could finally win the World Cup.

It is mysterious because many players of this French team come from the youth training of their own country, and the quality is excellent. They directly defeated the Brazilian team in the final.

No matter how miserable Ronaldo is and how panicked the Brazilian team is before the game, they are the defending champions after all. If they want to win against them, their strength should not be underestimated.

The biggest mystery also happened in the final at the Stade de France.The French team actually had the upper hand in the match against the Brazilian team. The Brazilian team did not organize a sharp attack at all, and the defense also leaked everywhere.Zidane scored with two headers, Petit's goal sealed the score 3-0, and finally France defeated Brazil and won the Hercules Cup for the first time in history!
The French team won the game, but many fans felt weird.The favorite Brazil team was sluggish, unable to fight back, and even the technical advantage it had always been proud of disappeared.The final sparked a lot of speculation. Some media said that the Brazilian team was playing match-fixing. Some people broke the news that the Brazilian team had been assassinated. Some people said that Ronaldo and other stars had supernatural events.After the game, the Brazilian media confirmed that Ronaldo had convulsions before the game, and even fell into a coma for a while, but the "Alien" still made a strange start in the end.Ronaldo's sudden fainting made the Brazilian team at a loss, and the aliens were sleepwalking throughout the game without any threat.The rest of the Brazilian team was also strangely out of shape, and the whole audience was in a daze, without a trace of the demeanor of a super giant.

Such a beaten Brazil doesn't look like the defending world champion at all.

The ugly performance of the Brazilian team aroused strong doubts, and all kinds of inside stories broke out after the game, which caused all Brazilian players to be criticized, but the final ended here, and FIFA did not conduct any investigation.

Since then, news from various channels has spread to the streets and alleys, and Beckham has eaten a lot of melons on the island.

The sudden emergence of the French team in this World Cup has a unique tactical thinking, which is really worthy of attention, and tactical nutrition is the real essence.

In the knockout rounds, they used the tactics of double midfielders or even three midfielders, making people realize that defense is the truth.

This defense-oriented tactic became the textbook for winning the World Series for the next ten years. The French team often had opponents unable to keep up with their rhythm through rapid offensive and defensive transitions. When Petit scored the third goal in the final, the Brazilian team could not keep up with their speed at all.

The England team's 3-5-2 tactics are also worth studying. For a team with an average midfield thickness, the long-term maintenance of five midfield tactics has left the Brazilian team at a loss.

What is intriguing is that the England team with two meat grinders in the midfield has become the most aggressive team in this World Cup. They scored 7 goals in 21 games, leading the French team with the second most goals by 6 goals.

The French team is the team with the fewest goals conceded in the World Cup. They only conceded 7 goals in 2 games, and successfully reached the pinnacle of the world with their defense.

For these, Beckham paid attention even on the beach.

It's not because he loves to study tactics so much, it's just that he has nothing to do when he's resting, so he took it out and flipped through it, which was interesting.

After all, football is his dream and a career he is willing to fight for all his life.

The holiday of about a week is too short, but at least I took a rest.

Otherwise, if you play two consecutive seasons, whether you can hold it is a problem.

On August 8, Beckham returned to the team on time. He needed to make physical reserves alone, and then directly entered the team's technical and tactical joint training.

But on the first day he walked into Carrington, he was surprised to find that the old man had made a lot of adjustments to the personnel.

He saw Shearer jogging in a red jersey at Carrington, Stam and Yorke, who had beaten Manchester United to a temper a few years earlier.

When someone comes, someone will leave. In order to reach a loan agreement with Shearer, Manchester United used Sheringham as a bargaining chip to exchange for Shearer's loan fee.

In the exchange of Yorke and Cole, Manchester United also paid Aston Villa a transfer fee of 700 million pounds. They completed a major exchange in the World Cup.

In addition, Manchester United also sent away Cruyff Jr., and then bought the Dutch heavy artillery Jonker at a low price.

The transfer news continues. On August 8, Manchester United officially announced the introduction of Shevchenko, a young striker from Dynamo Kiev, for £3 million.

The news shocked Europe and completely hurt the hearts of AC Milan, who had been far ahead in the race for the Ukrainian striker and even reached a verbal agreement.

Shevchenko's decision to join the Red Devils fully proves a truth: love can be transferred.

Because Manchester United won the Champions League with a strong performance last season, the influence of the Red Devils in Europe has suddenly been raised to a higher level.

Of course, the club is not prepared to allow Shevchenko to continue training in the original club for another season and report to the team next season.

Because his technical characteristics are similar to Shearer, he is definitely not the opponent of the England striker now. Instead of sitting on the bench for a long time, it is better to stay in Ukraine for one more season.

Ferguson's transfer operation made Old John extremely amazed. He thought that Ferguson in this world was sharper.

Beckham felt that it was probably because the England team reached the semi-finals, allowing Ferguson to study the opponent's lineup, so the transfer level has increased significantly.

There is another more interesting thing. After a week of training in the club, the youth training coach Harrison suddenly came to Ferguson and said that there was a child who was so good that he had to observe it immediately.

So Ferguson happily watched a match of the youth training team. A kid who came for a trial training almost knocked down Manchester United's young players of the same age by himself.

Seeing the performance of this young player, Ferguson immediately made a decision: "I will sign him now, no matter how much it costs!"

The first round is approaching, but Ferguson is not in a hurry to let the players who returned from the England team play. They are not in a state to play, and I am afraid they will have to rest for two rounds.

With Manchester United's current lineup, there is no problem at all for several players to rest for two rounds.

It's just that Old John is a little regretful. He said that Manchester United's "black wind and double evil spirits" fell apart without a fit, which is really a pity.

Beckham has seen a new world and is ready for a new beginning. The old man looks full of energy.
