Chapter 121 Jost is Seriously Injured

In the fifth round, Manchester United gave their opponent Coventry a 3-0 at home.The Red Devils ushered in the return of Cole, and Ferguson put him in the starting position.

Cole had a wonderful performance not long after the opening. He received a straight pass from his teammate in front of the opponent's penalty area. After a few steps of dribbling the ball laterally, Cole quickly adjusted and drew his bow and arrow at the right time outside the penalty area. His long shot hit the opponent's defender.

After breaking the deadlock, Manchester United was in a duck to water and continued to attack in the second half.

Soon Manchester United got another free kick on the left near the corner flag. The confident Beckham hoisted the ball into the penalty area with his right foot. The sharply spinning arc ball caused chaos in the penalty area.

Soon, Manchester United launched a wave of sharp counterattacks. Giggs succeeded in stealing in the midfield. He dribbled the ball straight into the opponent's hinterland.

The Dutch striker was unguarded, dribbled the ball into the penalty area and scored a goal!This is one of the essences left by Cruyff in the Theater of Dreams, and it is also one of his few wonderful goals.

At the end of August, 8 rounds of the Premier League had been played. Manchester United and Blackburn both had 5 points. The Red Devils only ranked second because of their goal difference.

Such a start is actually a very good start for Ferguson and Manchester United!
The league in September is the real difficulty. Manchester United is like a black curse.First, in the sixth round of the league, Manchester United faced Bolton at home, but they were suppressed by the opponent's savage fouls and fierce play while occupying an absolute advantage. In the end, they could only accept a 0-0 draw.

Compared with only scoring one point, Pallister's red card sent off the field is a serious blow.

Manchester United's back line of Dinghaishenzhen Pallister was plotted by the opponent with extremely bad means when he made a clearance in his own penalty area. His heel was trampled from behind, which almost caused the Achilles tendon torn.

Pallister, who couldn't hold back his anger, immediately wrestled with the opponent.In the end, the referee directly showed a red card!
In the seventh round, Manchester United was tied 2-2 by Chelsea at home. There were serious problems in Manchester United's defense, and there were obvious leaks in the man-to-man defense system.

A forward player like Zola with good skills, a solid base and a very flexible body is simply a nightmare for Manchester United's two tall defenders.

Both of Manchester United's conceded goals were linked to serious mistakes in the defense.

First, Wise shot from outside the Manchester United penalty area in the first half. There was no defense in front of him. In the end, after his super long shot was saved by Schmeichel, he encountered David May and rebounded into the net with an own goal. The second conceded goal was a low-level error by Schmeichel.

Compared with the flimsy defense, the only consolation is that Manchester United's attack line is full of vitality.

The tacit understanding between Andy Cole and Scholes is getting better and better, and the bigger surprise is that Manchester United fans ushered in Solskjaer's comeback.

The Norwegian striker overcame an injury at the beginning of the season. In this game, he accurately unloaded Beckham's pass on the left side of the opponent's penalty area, and then announced his return with a beautiful and precise arc.

In the eighth round of the league, Manchester United went to the Elland Road Stadium of the rival Leeds.

On the other side of the Pennines, the Red Devils Manchester United ushered in their first defeat of the season.

Misfortunes never come singly. At the same time as being defeated by Leeds, Jost was also seriously injured. The newspapers even said that he would miss the entire season.

Jost's injury was very strange. His cruciate ligament was cut from behind by his opponent Haaland, and this game laid the fuse for a major event that shocked the Premier League.

Leeds United took the lead early with a set-piece tactic, and then Manchester United suppressed the opponent's onslaught, but missed many chances to score.

At the end of the game, Giggs passed the ball in the midfield, and Jost and Harland who went forward rushed to grab the ball.

In the end, Harland relied on his positional advantage to grab the ball in the penalty area and cleared the dangerous area.

But the physical contact between the two sides caused Jost to lose control and fall to the ground.Jost's body twisted and fell to the ground, excruciatingly painful.

The moment Jost fell, everyone knew something had happened.But no one thought that Jost's cruciate ligament was cut off. Harland obviously didn't notice that Jost was injured. He thought Jost was faking it, and he yelled at Jost viciously at that time.

In fact, Jost didn't resent Haaland's tackle - it was unavoidable on the football field, what he cared more about was Haaland's disrespect.

Jost later recalled, "I don't care about you pulling my clothes, endless physical collision, nonsense, this is part of football, especially in England, this is also my strong point. Anyone who wants to compete fiercely and want the other person to go down is in trouble for me. But you insulted me verbally. When I fell, you stood by and shouted: "Get up, don't pretend!" "

I am an honest person, I will not pretend to be rolling on the ground in extreme pain because of delaying time or begging the referee to give the opponent a yellow card or even a red card, this is the key to the problem.

At that time, I knew that I was seriously injured. I even heard the sound of the cruciate ligament in my knee being torn. I muttered silently in my heart: Paul, you are finished.But you prudish, sanctimonious bastard is still babbling around, mocking me with the dirtiest words I've ever heard. "

Jost's injury triggered a confrontation between the players on both sides, which almost turned into a gang fight.

In the end, the referee separated the players from both sides, and the game ended quickly—the Manchester United players and Ferguson no longer cared about the score, and what they were most concerned about was Jost's injury.

Jost was quickly taken by ambulance and he went to the Royal First Hospital, Manchester's best.

Dr. Ralph, the doctor in charge of the hospital, diagnosed Jost with a torn cruciate ligament in his left leg. The initial recovery time is 4 months, which means that Jost will miss Manchester United's 97 years of competition.

After the game, Manchester United officially said that Jost will have a truce for at least 4 months, but in fact Jost is far more than 4 months.

This incident made Jost deeply remember Harland, and this Englishman who is ready to revenge is not easy to mess with.

After the game, all Manchester United players went to the hospital to visit Jost, hoping that he would recover soon, and Jost was also very optimistic.

Jost said, "It was at that moment that I thought of revenge. I want to make you a damn guy. This hatred intensified during my long healing period. I said the name Alfie-Haaland to myself every day, Harland-you made me like this!"
