Manchester United legend

Chapter 103
Against the background that the championship opponents were deeply involved in the harsh schedule of Christmas and New Year, Manchester United began to grab points.

At this stage, Manchester United played a very pleasing offense, played a very sharp attack, dedicated to the fans and many wonderful goals.

Cantona single-handedly singled out Sunderland's five-man defense, Beckham scored another wonderful lob shot from outside the penalty area, Cantona even made a juggling consecutive pick-and-pop shot, Giggs broke through as fast as a civet... and Cole also made a smooth comeback during this period of time. He added a sharper goal-breaking weapon to Manchester United.

Especially Solskjaer, he is not like an immature novice at all, but more like an experienced and patient senior killer. He will almost never miss the opportunity in front of the goal. This makes Manchester United's attack line buried at any time.

Manchester United even overcame the interruption of bad luck during this wave of unbeaten journey. When they played against Wimbledon in the league, Solskjaer hit the goal frame twice in the first half, and Manchester United was led by the opponent. In the difficult situation, the Red Devils were not discouraged at all. Even if Cantona hit the crossbar again, the team continued to attack, and finally scored two goals in a row to reverse the opponent.

This wave of 16 unbeaten rounds told the Premier League, "The former strong and fierce Manchester United is back." After Manchester United defeated Coventry on March 3, the Red Devils' league points have caught up with the top group.

Manchester United once again regained the initiative to compete for the league title.Although Arsenal looked more competitive for a while, the Fleet Street reporters were fascinated by new manager Arsene Wenger's art of coaching.

However, the toughness and tenacity of the Scottish man told the English football that the "rude and brutal" Ferguson was still in control of the final situation.

On December 1996, 12, the No.21 round of the Premier League was played. Manchester United played at home against the Black Cats Sunderland.

For Manchester United, this is a game that is expected to take three points before the game.

In the end, Manchester United really beat their opponents 5-0 without bloodshed, and returned to the winning track after two consecutive draws in the away game.

For Cantona fans, this game is even more memorable.The king scored two goals in this game and became the best player in the game.

Not only that, the second goal scored by Cantona is almost art and magic, becoming the best goal of this round of the Premier League, and finally became one of Cantona's top 10 goals and one of the world's 100 wonderful goals selected by a certain media.

The scene where Cantona turned around when he scored this wonderful lob shot has become a classic in the Theater of Dreams and an unforgettable scene in the memory of Manchester United fans.

The goal Cantona scored in the second half was a stunning work. He had already scored a penalty before, while Manchester United scored 4 goals for Sunderland like cutting melons and vegetables, and beat the black cats to no avail.

Before this game, Manchester United had suffered two league draws, and the team was suffocating.

Manchester United, determined to attack, quickly gained an advantage on the field, and quickly converted this advantage into goals.

First, Giggs made a cross from the left penalty area, and then Scholes put in a heavy shot to force Sunderland goalkeeper Perez to throw the ball away. Solskjaer easily scored with a header in front of the goal. Then Beckham and Butt made a wonderful penetration in the middle. Butt broke into the penalty area and was thrown by the goalkeeper. Cantona scored a penalty.

The third goal was an extremely wonderful and concise counterattack: Schmeichel threw the ball in the penalty area to launch a fast break, Solskjaer took the first step near the center circle to get possession of the ball, and then rushed all the way 30 yards into the opponent's defense, facing the goalkeeper calmly into the dead corner.

The fourth goal was a corner kick tactical cooperation. Giggs sent a sharp corner kick from the left. Butt grabbed a header before his teammates covered the goal, and the ball went in.

The Sunderland players who had no intention of fighting finally made Cantona's perfect performance.

In the final stage of the game, Cantona was in possession of the ball in the midfield. He first held the ball with his back, turned around to collect the ball before the opponent was close to him, and then started with a sideways smash. Two consecutive extremely realistic fake spikes deceived the opponent's two players, got rid of the entanglement, and then rushed forward with the ball quickly.

During the advance, he also rejected Poborski's "kindly help", signaling that his teammates don't need to come to support, just pull aside.When Cantona dribbled the ball into the opponent's hinterland alone, and entered the 35-meter area to attract two opponents to attack, he and Jost made a simple wall-hitting cooperation, and then passed through the opponent's siege like a gust of wind.

The Sunderland players didn't even have time to push him down.Jost understood, and passed the ball diagonally again, and accurately passed it to the feet of Cantona who was inserted into the rib of the opponent's penalty area.

At this time, Cantona had already reached the Sunderland penalty area line, and just completed a perfect two-for-one.

The ball returned to the feet of the King of Manchester United. The moment it broke into the penalty area, Cantona did not choose to pass the opponent's defender who was coming to cover the defense, nor did he volley as vigorously as usual. Of course, at this time, there were no teammates around him to attack.
Cantona rubbed the ball lightly, and the ball deftly crossed an arc like a brisk elf, and fell gracefully into the upper right corner of the goal.

This lob shot scored the goal, not only avoiding the opposing defender's flying shovel, but also leaving Sunderland goalkeeper Perez helpless, he could only look back at the goal and sigh.

Cantona's goal was perfect from the beginning of the attack.He dribbled the ball to tease the opponent's three defenders one after another, and then showed his unusually keen sense of smell and the ability to speed up and get rid of in an instant. Before facing the opponent's defender head-on, he made a two-pass and one-hit wall cooperation with his teammates in time, and his tacit understanding with his teammates was also impeccable.

Between entering the penalty area to face the defender's sliding shovel and the goalkeeper's attack, he chose the most difficult shooting action, rubbing the ball in front of the defender and lobbing it. At such a short distance, Cantona's lob shot even overcame the almost impossible requirement of a highly curved arc.

The rush all the way, the lob shot, so fast and smooth, so concise and direct, so artistic and gorgeous, even with a little magical color.

Cantona performed a super trick to the fans on the grass - no, he performed the art of football!
When Cantona entered the penalty area, the fans were already cheering, but it wasn't until this lob shot broke the goal that the fans really aroused their crazy emotions. The noise they made seemed to overturn the stadium.

But in the next moment, the stadium was still in a trance.After scoring the goal, Cantona ignored the stunned goalkeeper, and even ignored the cheers of his teammates and fans. Of course, he would not run wildly to celebrate. Cantona, with his collar turned up, looked calm after scoring the goal.

In the end, he raised his hands and embraced his teammates who rushed forward to celebrate, and showed his charming smile to tens of thousands of fans. At this moment, he is the commander of the Red Devils Manchester United. At this moment, he is the emperor of this dream theater;

At this moment, he is so mighty and domineering!
No one is not moved by such a goal. Just after Cantona turned around and looked around, and just after he raised his hands to greet his teammates to congratulate him, more shocking applause, cheers and cheers sounded in the Dream Theater.

This moment belonged to Cantona, those roaring and tsunami sounds seemed to be specially set off for Cantona, the fans witnessed the miracle happening, this moment belonged to the King of Old Trafford!
Cantona's goal and domineering celebration are extremely impressive. When the Premier League entered 20 years, fans still remember it deeply, so they chose this action as the best celebration action award for the 20th year of the Premier League.

If Beckham's lob shot was more difficult and closer to luck than Beckham's super ability, then Cantona's goal this time is completely a concrete manifestation of his personal ability.

Because Cantona's one-stop goal is full of excitement and fun in the process, and there is a magical celebration to end, which makes many fans talk about it.Such a goal seems less difficult, easier to achieve, and more likely to be replicated, so Cantona's goal is even more appreciated by players and coaches.

But in the eyes of the masters, Cantona's goal is full of greatness in detail and spirit.

Keen eyesight, extraordinary foot skills, bold ideas, brave breakthroughs, strong body, excellent anticipation, precise shooting... all the individual technical requirements in the football field come together, and such a great goal can only be produced after a perfect fusion!
Such a goal can only be performed by Cantona, he is the omnipotent King of Dream Theater!

Cantona is showing us red football magic, combining art, inspiration, speed and calm anticipation.He hits the heart, reaches the soul, shakes our emotions - what a show!

The whimsical skills, the wonderful pictures and his subsequent actions are all in one, and under the aura of aura, people can't help but worship him!

"It is enough for Manchester United to score two miraculous and incredible goals in this league! The league championship looks more like an incidental reward."

After the game, the reporters on Fleet Street could not hide their excitement.Cantona was really playing magic with everyone. After a short period of downturn and abnormality, after the stimulation of Juventus, Zidane and the reporters, the Frenchman was in a brave state last season.

It's just that after he looked down on the Premier League and restored his control and rule over the Premier League, who would know the loneliness in Cantona's heart?But who would understand the loss and loneliness in the deepest part of his heart?
