Chapter 442
Beckham remembers that the first time he came to Camp Nou was 11 years ago. At that time, Manchester United organized a youth football skills competition, and the winning children could go to Barcelona to participate in the football summer camp.

He finally got the qualification to go to the Nou Camp and met the legendary shooter Mark Hughes at the time. At that time, he felt that this guy was like a giant, but he didn't expect Gary Neville to look like this giant. high
But as a center forward, Hughes, who weighs 200 pounds, can score with the Neville brothers, and the impact is definitely not covered.

Well, why do I think of that time.

Beckham didn't know why he thought of this, maybe he felt that his dream had come true since that year.

Well, stop pretending, it's time for a showdown, he was just thinking wildly because he was too nervous.

He looked to the stands, and the Manchester United fans in the stands gave him a feeling of fluttering in the wind, at least 2 people.

The red and white Arsenal jerseys occupying the other side of the stand, separated by colorful neutral fans, gave him the impression of rubbish floating on the surface of the ocean.

Although shellfish fans still showed their red color in the neutral zone, this time they were a bit weak.

The stands of the Camp Nou stadium are too big to accommodate more than 10 fans, and English fans who come from afar cannot become the masters of the stadium at all.

Beckham found that there were also fans in the stands wearing Barcelona uniforms. Many of them booed whenever they saw Manchester United players, probably to vent their dissatisfaction with being eliminated in the death group.

But they are also a minority. There are a lot of people who just come to Camp Nou today to watch football. A considerable number of them have no inclinations and will only choose the final team they support based on the performance of this game.

Sophie Marceau, Hathaway, Lloyd, Musk, the Beckham family, the Neville family, Jason. Anyone who has a relationship with Beckham has come to the Nou Camp, and they are all in the crowd.

Today may be a moment to witness history. The Premier League may have the first triple crown, and it may also be the second club to win the Champions League.

The Manchester United players seemed very excited. Ferguson gave a rare emotional speech before the game, and everyone was excited at the moment.

Beckham asked John Sr. about the Champions League winners this year, and John Sr. said that the finalists were Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

The media at the time was overwhelmingly supportive of Bayern, and the Bundesliga giants did meet everyone's expectations. They took the lead in less than 10 minutes, and it felt like Manchester United could only struggle for a while in front of them.

Bayern maintained their lead until injury time and the whole world thought they had won.

Manchester United used 3 minutes of stoppage time to score 2 goals and finally reversed the game. This game was called the "Miracle of the Nou Camp".

Old John said that after that game, the spirit of Manchester United attracted countless fans. Many people turned fans in that year and loved them for a long time.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Old John's "spoiler" is more like telling a story, and it is completely impossible to take a seat.

Beckham found that when he first met John Sr., the development of football in the two worlds was basically the same.

But after a few years, the development of football in the two worlds has somewhat deviated from the track.

With the whistle of the on-duty referee Corina, the game officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Sky Sports. Upcoming is the 1998-1999 Champions League final between Manchester United in red and Arsenal in yellow and blue.

Let's take a look at the starting XIs of the two teams, Manchester United played a 4-4-2 formation.Their goalkeeper is the Dane Schmeichel. It is reported that this will be his last game for Manchester United, but he himself has not commented on this.

Maybe we'll have the answer tomorrow, but we can be sure that his contract expires on June 6.

Manchester United's four defenders are Gary Neville, Johansen, Stam and Heinrich.

Their four midfielders are David, Keane, Butt and Giggs. Jonker is on the bench. Poor Scholes was not selected for the 18-man squad. Their competition is too fierce.

The two strikers are Shearer and Yorke, and it seems that this is the strongest lineup that Manchester United can arrange. "

"Arsenal's goalkeeper is Seaman and their back four are Dixon, Adams, Boulder and Winterburn.

Their three midfielders are Parlor, Vieira, Petit, and their three frontcourt players are Anelka, Bergkamp, ​​Overmars, and their formation is 4- 3-3. "

With the referee's whistle, Arsenal kicked off.

As soon as Beckham glanced at it, he knew that the Arsenal players were so nervous that they were about to faint. They looked like they had no brains, and they were playing by instinct in a dazed way.

Shearer and Yorke rushed forward to pinch, Pettit was too tense and his body became stiff, and his pass even missed.

The "black and white duo" used a simple two and one to score Arsenal's hinterland, and Yorke volleyed from the upper right corner.

The quality of this shot is very good, but the fly in the ointment is that the height is embarrassing, and the tall and long-armed Seaman knocked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips.

"Oh, what a pity! Manchester United were in good shape after the start, but the Arsenal players were obviously much more nervous."

Almost at the same time as Martin Taylor snorted, there was a long sigh at the Camp Nou, followed by applause.

Beckham couldn't tell whether the large crowd of neutral fans were admiring for Yorke's shot or for Seaman's save. This kind of ambiguous situation is the norm in the green field.

Only in the football highlights show, those ambiguous scenes become logical because of post-processing.

Arsenal's state is indeed not good. They are famous for passing and controlling, but passing the ball in the midfield seems to be very difficult.

Beckham had enough time to handle the transfer after he got the ball, Almas was forced to withdraw, but he was always half a beat, and the rest of Arsenal's players were not much better.

Manchester United is the most popular club in Europe at the moment, and they will definitely be punished for playing like this in front of them.

In the 8th minute, Manchester United won a corner kick. Beckham's corner kick drew an arc that made the defender feel uncomfortable. It went straight to Shearer in the middle, and Boulder grabbed his arm in desperation.

Penalty, yellow card!
Seeing that Collina did not show a red card, Ferguson yelled a wave of word combinations starting with "F", but the strong Italian bald head was not only unmoved, but also ran over to warn the Manchester United coach.

This result did not surprise Beckham. The purpose of commercializing football is first to make football more intense and exciting, and to keep the suspense until the last moment.

With Arsenal's state today, once Boulder is sent off, the suspense of the first half of the game will be over.

Such a result obviously does not meet the expectations of investors. They want to make more people fall in love with football, instead of changing the program at halftime.

Shearer stood at the penalty spot, and he didn't give Seaman a chance at all, and directly slammed the football into the upper left corner of the goal.

Ouch, not too bad.

Seeing Shearer's powerful penalty kick, Beckham felt that this guy was completely let go. His bottom line goal was the league championship. Now that the guaranteed goal was achieved, he became England's number one center forward.

Only this time, Shearer happily spread his hands in celebration.

But Beckham felt that such a monotonous celebration had a bohemian feel to him, which was strange.
