Chapter 555 Superstar Quartet

After cutting Tottenham in the league, although Manchester United's physical fitness is not good, their morale is high.

In the next third round of the Champions League group stage, Ferguson played with a mixed lineup.

Ruud van Nistelrooy and Stam were sluggish all day long after being eliminated in the World Cup qualifiers, and the old man simply took them both down.Especially Stam, the old man is not pleasing to the eye. The two talked alone three times, and each time ended with a hair dryer. Stam was neither hard nor soft, nor half soft and half hard.

Beckham's good talk is to let the old man keep Stam in the club.

But the old man felt a little bit overwhelmed by this hurdle, as long as he saw Stam every day, his expression changed.

Beckham doesn't know what the ending will be, anyway, he has been working hard, hoping that time will heal the rift between the two.

But according to the old man's temper, it is still a bit difficult. He can still tell what happened many years ago, and he remembers the details clearly. Anyway, he is a vengeful old man.

Manchester United's opponent in the third round was Olympiacos. More than 73000 people attended the Olympic Stadium. The stadium is bigger than Old Trafford. I'm afraid there won't be so many people here.

Beckham sat on the bench for 60 minutes, the team still did not start, the old man decisively replaced him.

As soon as he played, Solskjaer made a free kick, and Beckham performed a full moon scimitar in front of [-] fans.

1 is better than 0!

I don't know if it's because he's in good shape or because he's high-spirited, but Beckham finds that his free kicks this season are surprisingly accurate.

The lagging Olympiakos team could only save, but Shevchenko counterattacked successfully. Manchester United took away the home team 2-0.

Back in the league, Manchester United won Sunderland 3-1 away, but the old man still didn't let Stam and Ruud van Nistelrooy play.

However, goals from Shevchenko and Giggs gave Manchester United an early lead, and they also made an own goal by their opponents, and the league won another game.

In the fourth round of the Champions League, Manchester United failed to win La Coruña at home, and the two sides fought 2-2.

As the only team that can check and balance Barcelona and Real Madrid in recent seasons, La Coruña is really good, and once suppressed Manchester United. Fortunately, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored 2 goals in a row to prevent Manchester United The opponent suffered a big loss.

Deportivo Manchester United scored 4 points in the two games, becoming the only team that has taken advantage of Manchester United in recent seasons.

The head coach Irueta vowed at the time that Manchester United is the sharpening stone of the Deportivo team, and the team can achieve good results in all three lines this season.

Ferguson said lightly: "I hope we meet in the quarter-finals."

Irueta: "You want to be eliminated so much?"

Ferguson: "Hehe, I'm looking forward to it!"

Four days later, Manchester United met Bolton, the dark horse of the Premier League at home, and Drogba and Solskjaer played in rotation.

The old man still didn't give Stam a chance, and he was going to reuse Sylvester again.

As a result, the French central defender made a fool of himself again in the game. When he cleared the siege, he swung his left leg and hit the football on his right leg.

Beckham once again received key attention, and after Bolton took the lead, they simply let the left midfielder run with Beckham.

Now the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League face Manchester United is a tactic. Manchester United can win, and Beckham must be targeted. Fortunately, Nedved broke through the Bolton defense in 82 minutes and equalized the score.

1 to 1, Bolton fans left Old Trafford happily.

In the tenth round of the league, Stam finally got a chance to start. Manchester United faced the survived Leeds United at home.

It's just that it was the opponent who scored the first goal again. Robbie Keane scored a sideways volley, then hit a cartwheel, and performed a crazy double-gun old woman in the visiting team's fan area.

United went on the offensive again at the end, with substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjaer equalizing.The baby-faced killer can have a place in the star-studded Manchester United team, and his shooting skills are still really good.

At the end of the first ten rounds of the league, Manchester United had 7 wins and 3 draws, ranking first with 23 points, but the three consecutive draws put the team under a lot of pressure.

Leeds United behind them have 22 points, only 1 point behind Manchester United.

If Manchester United continues to tie, the top spot in the standings may be gone.

In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United was once again tied by Lille. The starter Solskjaer advanced by 1 goal. The opponent made a world wave in the second half, allowing Manchester United to get an embarrassing 4 consecutive draws.

Time entered November, Manchester United got off to a bad start and lost 1-2 away to Liverpool.

This time the old man was really angry. He locked the Manchester United players in the locker room and yelled at them for an hour without stopping. Fake beat everyone except Beckham.

As the big brother of the team, Keane still wanted to smooth things over, but the old man volleyed a sneaker and almost hit Keane in the forehead.

Keane, annoyed, started talking back, and Ferguson fired with all his might.

The two fought each other for half an hour, and finally Ferguson scolded Keane to tears.

Everything happened so suddenly, Beckham really didn't expect that there would be a scene where the macho man cried.

Seeing that everyone was going to collapse, Beckham could only seriously promise: "If we don't win again, we will all be dogs!"

The old man was also tired of scolding, so he walked down the donkey and said: "David, if you can't win again, you will be the honored guest by stepping on your horse!

Roy, you are bullfighting when you step on a horse!

Ryan, you are Teddy on horseback!

By the way, Gary is a husky on horseback! "

Ferguson thought of the breed for everyone in an instant, and made everyone sick again by sticking his face.

It's just that Gary was brought in at the end, which made everyone unexpected.

After a moment of silence, everyone laughed together, even Ferguson couldn't help it.

Gary was the only absent player named, and it seemed the old man missed him.

Back home, Beckham called Gary immediately and conveyed the old man's thoughts to Gary.

Gary was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then faintly said: "Never mind my business."

Beckham did not expect that the old man had studied the breeds of dogs so well that he could name nearly 20 breeds in a few minutes without repetition, and they were somewhat compatible.

For example, Teddy Giggs, laughing every time he thinks about it, he can't laugh anymore.

Gary's recovery is not bad, and he can already throw away his crutches and walk around the house.

According to the team doctor Dave, Gary's rehabilitation in the early stage was very desperate, and he grinned with pain every day.

Beckham also specifically asked if it would affect his career, and Dave said it was not a big problem.

It seems that Gary's goal of playing until the age of 40 is expected to be achieved.

Robben has been training very hard recently. The arrival of Robinho has made young people roll up, making Giggs afraid to leave after training every day. First, let's see if the two boys have left.

When the two children practiced, he followed suit.

Beckham has noticed that Giggs is slowly changing his style of play this season.This buddy has been bullying people with speed before. After he was 28 years old, he realized how to get rid of it in place. It seems that the effect is not bad. During training, Brown sprained his foot once.

In terms of playing football, Giggs is definitely the first talent in the "Class of 92".

But Teddy is too funny, the old man is also a talent.

Because of the existence of events such as the World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup, the 2001 schedule can be said to be airtight. Only 48 hours after the match with Liverpool, the League Cup began again.

Just ask, how can a club like Manchester United, which abandons the League Cup and is on the bench in the FA Cup and still has nearly 70 games a year, cope with such a dense schedule.

According to scientific statistics, after three days of the game, the soreness on the players' bodies will basically disappear, but it will take 1 to 3 days to restore their physical fitness to a full state.

The meaning of these words is very clear, the interval between professional players participating in the competition is at least 3 days.Less than 3 days is considered fatigue combat, this rhythm lasts for a long time, the body is bound to have problems.

So Ferguson doesn't plan to play the main force at all. The "Beckham Cup" is the world of young people and substitutes.

And Manchester United's opponent is the old enemy Arsenal. It is really a narrow road to the enemy.

The schedule of the League Cup is like this, League One and League Two teams participate in the first round, no European Premier League teams join in the second round, and the remaining Premier League teams start from the third round.

Even if it's a game like this, Manchester United and Arsenal can be drawn together, Beckham has to sigh, the FA will always play.

As the chairman of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Beckham knows very well that this matchup is more of a will than a deliberate one.

The FA's calculations are very shrewd. Since Manchester United doesn't care about the Carling Cup and is always the kid who handles the game, then find you a strong opponent.

Anyway, the youngsters of the Manchester United team will always lose. It is not a loss to whoever loses. Losing to a weak team is not as much discussed as losing to Arsenal.Since Manchester United are doing nothing on their own, fortunately Wenger will be able to disgust them.

Using Arsenal to touch Manchester United, the FA still wants to stimulate Manchester United.With Ferguson's personality that never suffers from major competitors, he might use his main force to fight.

If Manchester United still play with baby soldiers, then they will lose, and lose to Arsenal by a big margin, let's see if Ferguson can hang on his face.

This is actually a small retaliation by the FA against Ferguson. If Liverpool were deliberately drawn, it would be too targeted. Ferguson might send a reserve team to participate every year in a fit of anger.

In fact, the Arsenal team has not paid so little attention to the League Cup in recent years, and will basically use the main force to match the substitute lineup.

With the strength of the Arsenal team, even if it is a substitute lineup, it can reach the Premier League level, and it is not straightforward to play the youth team.

Beckham asked Old John that in this season's League Cup, Arsenal did crush Manchester United in the third round, but the old man looked like a bachelor and mocked Wenger for not giving young people a chance.

Arsenal's use of youth training children to play in the League Cup was a matter of the first period of Magic Bird. At that time, Wenger completely won the trust of the club. In addition, Arsenal spent huge sums of money to build the Emirates Stadium. With the blessing of various factors, the later Arsenal team appeared.

Manchester United has won all the Premier League titles in recent years. Arsenal has only won 2 FA Cups, 1 League Cup and 1 Europa League. Wenger will still use a substitute when playing in the League Cup, but he must pay more attention to it than Old John's world.

Before the game, Wenger tentatively said in an interview: "Arsenal will give substitutes and young players more opportunities in the League Cup, but we attach importance to every event.

If Manchester United sends the main force to play, we will also send a lineup of the corresponding level, which is also a respect for the opponent. "

The tentative meaning of this interview is obviously that the lineup sent by Arsenal must not be lower than that of Manchester United.

Ferguson quickly responded to Wenger: "No matter how the opponent arranges the lineup, Manchester United will still play with a lineup of substitutes and young players. We will give young people more opportunities to exercise."

The next day, Arsenal and Manchester United stood at Highbury at the same time.

Although Beckham was excluded from the squad, he still appeared on the court with Hathaway and Brooklyn.

Old Ted hadn't seen his grandson for a few weeks and kept talking about it. In addition, Beckham wanted to take a walk around the production line. The whole family simply followed the team to London.

Five-month-old Brooklyn crawls around all day, is very active, and can even take a few laps with the help of a stroller.

Before the game started, the fans at Highbury Stadium sang the team song together, and everyone sang and sang just a few sentences.Within 10 minutes, Brooklyn babbled and sang along.

I have to sigh that children's adaptability is strong.

Beckham said to his son with a smile: "You sang really well, don't sing again next time."

Manchester United kids are never allowed to sing Arsenal's team anthem, not even humming.

Once this kid develops muscle memory and subconsciously has a good impression of Arsenal, he might become a fan of Arsenal in the future.

Beckham must not let this happen.

Hearing what Beckham said, Hathaway could only spread her hands to express her helplessness. She still can't fully understand the English football plot.

It stands to reason that five-month-old children have relatively weak resistance and should not appear in crowded places. However, Beckham is in the box and did not touch the crowd on the way here, so it is acceptable.

In addition to the best viewing angle in the private room, Beckham saw in the team Drogba with stubborn body language, Kaka with graceful gestures, Robinho with mischievousness and Robben with receding hairline.

Behind them are Scholes and Bart. These two brothers have been training very hard recently, just trying to kill Keane and Nedved.

There is O'Shea on the back line, with Berger and Johansen at his side escorting him, Jackie Phil appears on the left, and behind them is Van der Hoo.

Seeing the starting lineup, Beckham seemed to see the smirk on Ferguson's face when he made the starting lineup.

He felt that the old man was cheating Wenger, why did he say that?
Manchester United's starting lineup does seem to have a lot of young players. Kaka, Robben, Robinho, and O'Shea are all under 20 years old. Drogba has never entered the mainstream league before this season. The 5 players can be regarded as out-and-out young players.

The 38-year-old van der Hou has not gotten a few appearances at Manchester United in the past two years, and he is regarded as a pure substitute.

With the rise of Ferdinand and the old man's preference for Sylvester, Borg and Johansen have also become two soy sauces.

Looking at it this way, Manchester United's lineup is old and old, and small and small.

But with Scholes, Butt and Phil in charge, no matter how bad the team is, it won't be much worse.

Even if this lineup is placed in the Premier League, I am afraid that it will be able to mix in the middle and lower reaches after one season.

Although Wenger had a combination of Wiltord and Kanu on the front line, Grimandy in the midfield, and Van Bronckhorst and Luzhny in the defense, they absolutely did not expect Manchester United's offensive line to be so vigorous.

At the start of the game, the youngsters of the Manchester United team inevitably hesitated, and the Arsenal team naturally took the initiative.

In the 12th minute, Wiltord beat O'Shea raw with speed and opened the scoring for Arsenal.

The Highbury Stadium cheered immediately, and Brooklyn, who was babbling and learning about the world, cried when he saw this scene for the first time.

Beckham almost swears, the Arsenal man actually scared his son to tears, and everything about the sworn enemy is annoying.

The singing of the home fans and the haughty expressions of the Arsenal players quickly angered Drogba and Robben, neither of whom were the ones who suffered.

Robben quickly entered the stand-alone mode. After he got the ball on the right, he began to cover his head and passed people. Van Bronckhorst was a bit overwhelmed.

Robben began to compete with himself, constantly cutting inside and shooting.

The first two times were kicked towards the stands, the third time was slightly higher, and the fourth time it was scored.

1 is better than 1!

Beckham gave Hathaway Brooklyn and cheered with open arms.

Seeing Dad cheering, Brooklyn babbled and raised his hands.

This goal played a cathartic effect on Robben, and he began to seek cooperation with his teammates frequently.

In the 23rd minute, when Robben made a cross, Drogba bumped into the central defender who was defending him alone, carried another central defender on his shoulders, turned the cross with his thigh, and then swung his foot into the goal.

2 is better than 1!

Both Beckham and Ferguson raised their arms, which is a subconscious movement of people in extreme joy.

The Arsenal team was also unambiguous, and opened a gap on O'Shea when they turned around, and Wiltord scored another goal.

2 to 2, Highbury boiled again.Because of being scared once before, Brooklyn had a vague resistance to the Arsenal team and yelled back angrily, probably thinking that these people were targeting him.

Arsenal quickly took care of Robben, and Scholes immediately focused on Robinho. The Brazilian boy pedaled his bicycle crazily in front of Luzhny, completed the first gear in the opponent's fight, and then rushed into the penalty area.

Under the close pressure of the defenders, Drogba turned around and made the ball. Kaka followed up and pushed with his arch. The football flew around a small arc into the upper left corner of the goal.

3 is better than 2!

Beckham continued to cheer and celebrate, and Brooklyn followed suit.

In the second half, the Arsenal team strengthened their physical confrontation and once attacked very fiercely.

Manchester United had the ball and went directly to Drogba, and Warcraft seemed to have returned to the state of major leagues where one man overwhelmed all the defenders.

Don't say that his style of play is too much for major league players, but the Arsenal team is still too much.

Later, there was a strong guy who thought he could bear it, but Drogba made a shadow in his heart.

No way, the appearance of this kind of person is a bug. Beckham can only be thankful that he is in Manchester United if any team encounters him.

In the 13th minute of the second half, Drogba overpowered two central defenders to score with a header. The four future stars hugged excitedly, and O'Shea also ran up. This group of guys was called "Class 01" by later generations, and they were the core members of the third-generation Manchester United team.

4 to 2, Beckham saw Wenger leaning back and spreading his hands.

I didn't realize that the professor's arm span is so long, and he was born to spread his hands helplessly. No one can do this action more helplessly than him
Arsenal quickly equalized again, and Kanu found a breakthrough from O'Shea again.

No way, the first thing a defender has to learn since childhood is to be strong.

Seeing that the team was expected to equalize, the Highbury Stadium became lively again, but Kaka quickly silenced the stadium again.

The Brazilian handsome guy used a few simple emergency stops, accelerated to throw the defender away, and then swung his legs and blasted a heavy artillery that was far from his stature.

5 is better than 3!

The Arsenal players defending him were completely confused. He didn't expect that the two young men on the field were also Brazilians, why one was so irritating to the extreme and the other was so simple and rude.

Falling behind by two goals again, the fighting spirit of the Arsenal players dropped a lot, and they could only watch Robinho happily show off his operations.

Hiding the ball behind his back, drilling, cycling, and rainbows, Robinho showed the anxious Arsenal people what is truly carefree.

Then the Arsenal players couldn't take it anymore and finally pulled him down, and then Robinho hopped a free kick into the goal.
6 is better than 3!

This is simply a disaster for Arsenal.

Seeing the team lead by a big score, Beckham's excitement was diluted, this is smiling and applauding.

Brooklyn, on the other hand, raised his small fist in Hathaway's arms, roaring with milky breath, and had a vicious expression on his face.

Now Beckham is happier than seeing the goal. It seems that his son has been a Manchester United fan since he was a child, and football must start from a baby.

At the end of the game, Beckham found that Drogba was looking for something in the stands, could it be him?

He guessed right, and after a while, he looked at the monster in the box and grinned, showing his white teeth.He pointed in the direction of Beckham, then pounded his chest with his right fist like a gorilla.

He patted Kaka beside him, pointed to the direction of the box, and then Robben and Robinho also ran over, and all four of them had silly smiles on their faces.

Back home, Beckham watched the football highlights of the night.

The video made a special clip for Wenger. The Arsenal coach went from the high spirits of the first goal, to the expressionless face of the first goal, to the frowning of the third goal, to the doubtful life of the fifth goal, to the incompetence of the sixth goal.

It has to be said that the professor is still elegant, trying his best to restrain himself from incompetent rage.

When the two coaches shook hands, Ferguson stared at Wenger with a smirk.

When the eyes of the two sides met, Beckham could clearly feel Wenger's anger emanating from the inside out, and then he tried his best to restrain himself.

Finally couldn't take it anymore, turned and left.

In the post-match press conference, Wenger clearly felt cheated.

"I found that we and Manchester United have a big difference in the definition of substitutes. Our substitutes are players who have less chances to play, and their substitutes include the main midfielder of the European Cup champion, the main left back, the main rotation midfielder, and the main central defender during the Treble.

Still, we have a good chance of winning.But we were not well prepared for the difficulties, their young players are very good.

With players like that, you have to concentrate and we didn't, so we lost the game. "

The reporter asked Wenger to comment on the young players of the Manchester United team. Wenger paused and said:
"The club's scouting system paid attention to Didier, but he rarely played at the time, and he proved himself step by step.

Arjan has always wanted to be teammates with David, and it is difficult for other clubs to have the opportunity.

We were infinitely close to two Brazilian players, but their clubs offered unacceptable prices, which did not meet my positioning for young players. "

Later, the professor said similar words countless times.I couldn't bear it any longer, so I could only stick my neck and say: "There is nothing to regret, because the strongest players are in Arsenal's starting lineup."

This time Ferguson didn't have time to make things worse for Arsenal. The old man's attention is now on Leeds United and Liverpool.
