Chapter 388
The third day of the European Cup qualifiers ended, and the Premier League rekindled the battle.

Less than two months after the start of the season, Manchester United has played 11 games, and this is still the case when the two major domestic cups have not started.

贝克汉姆看了一眼赛程，曼联队在10月剩下的半个月里有5场比赛，11月有7场，12月有8场。

The most sour thing is that there is no winter break in the Premier League. After a season, most people will not touch football during the holidays.

Only an insecure person like Gary Neville would go to training every day during the holidays. No one can be sure whether he loves football or professional football. The difference between the two choices is not small.

On October 10, Manchester United faced Wimbledon at home. Ferguson made a big rotation to the lineup. The striker was led by Yorke, with Husky next to him.

The four players in the midfield are Poboski, Butt, Keane and Phil in turn, and Gary has also been rotated.

The Manchester United team, which played in a rotation lineup, remained undiminished, and finally defeated the "Crazy Gang" 5-1.

Yorke scored twice, Butt, Poborski and Stam each scored one goal. The current Manchester United team is not the same as it was three years ago. Wimbledon can't pose a threat to them at Old Trafford.

In the other games of the ninth round, the leader Aston Villa was tied by West Ham United at home. Manchester United ranked first in the league with a goal difference advantage when they had the same points as them.

Arsenal struggled at home to beat Southampton 2-1, but at least they won. They scored 3 points with 5 wins, 1 draws and 14 loss. They have only played less than a quarter of the league and are already 7 points behind Manchester United.

Seeing the rotation lineup, the Wimbledon team was beaten to the ground. Ferguson made a "hahaha" sound at every turn in the past two days, which made everyone a little uncomfortable.

It's not that the old man has never seen the world, but this victory is of great significance. The victory over Wimbledon with a rotation lineup marks that Manchester United has gradually moved from a Premier League championship-level team to a European giant.

Even if the club has reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons and has almost monopolized the Premier League, this does not mean that the club already has the background of a European giant.

After all, for the Premier League and the Champions League, Manchester United gave up the FA Cup and League Cup last season, which has become one of the few places where competitors can criticize Manchester United.

After the transfer operation in the summer, the Manchester United team has been strengthened in various positions. The power of the "black and white duo" formed by Shearer and Yorke has initially appeared.

There are captain Keane, Scholes, Jonker and Butt in the midfield. These four people are not bad in any pairing. Poborski can rotate for Beckham and can also play on the left and center. Phil is Giger As a rotation player, he can play multiple positions at the same time, Manchester United has no shortage of available midfielders.

Manchester United's defense is also fully staffed. Gary, Sturm, Borg and Heinrich are the main starters. Irvine, Wes Brown, Johansen and Pallister are all fine.

As long as there are no large-scale injuries, Manchester United's lineup will have no problem fighting on the fourth line. Ferguson's biggest worry now is how to arrange the players' playing time.

Manchester United has 24 regular first-team players, 21 of which are the absolute main players in other teams. There are also a few good seedlings who train with the first team and participate in reserve team games.

After using the rotation lineup for a week, most of the main players have been rested. The Manchester United team is ready to fly to Copenhagen to meet the third opponent in the Champions League group, the Brondby team.

Brian Keane led everyone to repeatedly study the Danish champion at the tactical preparation meeting, and Ferguson also repeatedly emphasized not to underestimate any opponent.

Beckham took the time at home to watch the two matches of the Brondby team in the group stage. This unknown Nordic team is not as bad as everyone seems to be. It is just that Manchester United, Bayern and Barcelona are too dazzling in the group stage, which makes them look bleak.

In fact, this Danish team is not as bad as everyone imagined. You must know that they played two qualifying rounds before entering the main match. The teams in the qualifying rounds this year are all second-tier league champions, and their strength is not bad.

Being able to eliminate opponents in two consecutive rounds to advance to the main match shows that this Danish team still has two brushes.

As the first team in Denmark's history to qualify for the Champions League, Brondby showed their strength to the world in the first round. They defeated the mighty Bayern 2-1, pushing the opponent to the edge of the cliff.

Since there are predecessors stepping on mine, it is impossible for Manchester United to follow in their footsteps like a fool.

In the past two days, Beckham has invited a German fitness coach to give him 40 minutes of physical training every day after the training. The focus of the training is the 5-meter sprint.

This training subject has been quite popular in Germany in the past two years. The Germans who like to delve into details have shortened the sprint distance to a distance of 5 meters, aiming to enhance the ability of players in hand-to-hand combat.

After several seasons of experience, Beckham feels that many one-half balls are compared to the explosive power of a few meters, and whoever can grab the position in hand-to-hand combat will be able to take the initiative in the competition.

Sometimes there is a close-range fight, and there is no chance to shovel. The comparison is the explosive power of a very short distance.

Manchester United's best hand-to-hand combat ability is Keane. The Irishman's speed is only passable, but he is very good at short-range grappling, and he can win most of the close-range grappling.

Compared with the self-taught Irish, Beckham's skill is worse, so he can only hire a private trainer to practice this skill.

The training methods of German coaches are not complicated, just some basic movement training. Many people have practiced it before, but few people can form these movements into a system.

So after the daily training, many Manchester United players watched Beckham practice lunges, standing long jumps, skating jumps, knee jumps and other technical moves under the command of his personal trainer like watching a circus.

For Beckham's additional practice, many people took the attitude of watching the excitement, watching for a while and going back to their respective homes. Only Kean and Gary stood by and observed for several days.

Because it was a private class, it was inconvenient for Keane to practice with him. For two consecutive days, he stood beside him with his arms folded, using chat as an excuse to make jokes, and asked two questions from time to time.

And Gary Neville took a football to draw circles around Beckham, and wrote and drew in his notebook from time to time.

His behavior made Beckham a little bit dumbfounded. After all, he is also the boss of an educational institution, and he still keeps things in such a tight place.

On October 10th, Manchester United walked off the Copenhagen Airport, and they will be greeted by their third opponent in the group stage.

Brondby look the weakest in the group, but the two teams have never played and Manchester United are very wary of this opponent.

The next afternoon, Manchester United stood at the Bumby Stadium, which can only accommodate 2 people.

Beckham and Scholes stood on the two sidelines of the court for passing training, while Gary and Giggs did one-on-one offensive and defensive exercises.

After the trip to Stockholm, the players of the England team have successfully overcome the special situation of midnight in the Nordic countries.

After the start of the game, Brondby and Manchester United played against each other, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations. I didn't expect this small team to be so bloody.

But bloodiness is one aspect, and strength is another aspect.

In just 9 minutes of the game, Beckham got a chance to cross. His pass bypassed the Danish defender who was closely marking Shearer and successfully found Giggs.

The Welshman jumped high, waited a moment in the air, and turned his head to score the cross.

1 is better than 0!

The Manchester United fans who came from afar exploded and cheered excitedly.

Only 5 minutes later, the scene just now repeated, Beckham crossed again, still Giggs header.

2 is better than 0!

The lagging Brondby players still charged forward, but Shearer scored another goal in the 24th minute.

3 is better than 0!

Brondby got a goal back from striker Sander, but Yorke extended the score again before the end of the first half.

4 is better than 1!

At the end of the halftime, Brondby players walked back to the locker room in a daze. The confrontation on the field was obviously not overwhelming, so why did they fall behind by three goals.
