Chapter 153 Champions League Death Group
The situation outside the arena is turbulent, but the league continues to be in full swing.

On September 1998, 9, Manchester United played against Charlton at Old Trafford. This was the third round of the Premier League.

Ferguson started a great rotation attempt - he concluded after the end of the season, "Our lineup is not super, but we have a strong bench and reserves. We made a bold rotation, and finally achieved a great victory."

In this game, Ferguson rested Berg, Gary Neville and Giggs and replaced Johansen, Fili Neville and Bromqvist. The forward line also put away Cole and sent Solskjaer and Yorke to partner.

The strength of Manchester United, which has undergone rotation, is still strong, but it also continues the characteristics of this season's slow heat.

The Charlton team, which has played 3 games without a loss this season, did not choose to hide and defend. They began to compete with Manchester United in the midfield.

Not only that, the bold attacking Charlton took the lead. In the 32nd minute of the first half, the midfielder exploded outside the penalty area. Schmeichel had no choice.

It was facing a backward situation again, but this time Manchester United responded quickly. Beckham received the ball in the middle and passed it to Solskjaer. Solskjaer passed it to Cole and was blocked and got the ball again.

Ferguson got the best return for Solskjaer starting!

In the subsequent games, York's performance soon debuted.Towards the end of the first half, Beckham sent a free kick on the right near the corner of the penalty area. York, who was ambushing in the middle of the penalty area, accurately judged the landing point and line, and jumped high at the most appropriate time. The header hit the goal, and the ball smashed into the opponent's net fiercely - 2 to 1.Manchester United overtook the score.

Yorke's performance was not over yet. In the second half, he made a timely transition to Scholes after responding to Philly's pass in the midfield. Scholes directly moved to the right before the center circle. Beckham directly swept the ball into the hinterland of Charlton's penalty area.

The whole process was fast and concise, and Yorke, who had just touched the ball and transferred it, had already run into the small penalty area very quickly at this time. Just when the opponent made a low-level mistake and missed the ball, Yorke, who was inserted into the heart, was already unstoppable.
The Red Devils, who were full of fighting spirit, planned to stop there, and soon York began to organize the offensive again, this time again on the right, Manchester United's high ball was passed into the penalty area, Charlton's defense was not prepared at all, Solskjaer headed his second goal from the penalty area line, and the score was finally locked at 4-1-Manchester United won their first big victory since the start of the game!
For the first time in the Theater of Dreams, Yorke won the enthusiastic cheers of the fans. He scored two goals and successfully connected the midfield and frontcourt, making Manchester United's offense more layered and efficient. Yorke played a huge role and became the best player in the game.

And Solskjaer announced his true return with two goals, "Brother is not only a backup killer, but also a deadly starter!"

After the victory over Charlton, Manchester United ushered in the Coventry team.The Red Devils also played well, with the power of the wing attack once again on display, and Yorke scored for the second consecutive game.

In the second half, Johansen's goal was the icing on the cake for Manchester United, locking the final score of 2-0.

In this game, Ferguson sent out a midfield quartet that shined this season: Beckham, Giggs, Jost, Scholes.

Jost began to dominate the entire midfield area, although he has begun to stay away from the opponent's hinterland of the penalty area, because those who have enough fire spears from Manchester United, he only needs to cover the interception and control the midfield to provide strong support for Manchester United's offense and defense.

Scholes became the diamond-shaped part of the four-man midfielder, playing more roles after the attack.

Solskjaer and Yorke, the second starting partner, have more tacit understanding-Manchester United's offense and defense have become more calm, which is exactly the effect Ferguson most wants to achieve.

After two consecutive victories, Manchester United's points return to the forefront.

After defeating Coventry, Manchester United began to face severe challenges. They faced strong enemies in the Champions League group stage and the league, and the Red Devils ushered in a series of fierce battles.

In the Champions League group stage, Manchester United was assigned to Group D, with Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, and Bloom Derby in the same group. Three super teams competed for two qualifying indicators. This group can be called a veritable "death group".

Manchester United's first game in the group stage was to face the challenge of the strong enemy Barcelona. It was September 1998, 9. Manchester United, who was sitting at home, strangely put on a white jersey to face Barcelona.

Not long after the start of the game, Manchester United set off a wave of offense. Yorke retreated to receive a pass from the left, then took the ball to organize himself, and passed the ball to an open area on the right.

Giggs, who is not good at heading the ball, jumped back and smashed the ball to the right side of the opponent's goal, and the ball scored!Manchester United took the lead and broke the deadlock with a blitz.

Beckham shines, his pass on the right is simply measuring the distance and drawing the arc with a ruler.Soon, Manchester United once again opened the way from the right. Solskjaer got the ball in the corner of the penalty area and was forced by the opponent's defender to return to Beckham.

Beckham made another precise pass into the penalty area, and Yorke made an upside-down golden hook like a juggling show, but it was a pity that the shot was too direct and was saved by the Barcelona goalkeeper-but Manchester United still had Scholes!Scholes, who had decisively inserted into the penalty area early in the morning, grabbed the position and succeeded with an easy follow-up shot-Manchester United led by two goals!
In the second half, Barcelona launched a crazy counterattack, while Manchester United's defense made mistakes under pressure. The absence of Johnson, who was injured in the previous game, put more pressure on Manchester United's defense.

Barcelona striker Anderson took advantage of the chaos in the penalty area and shot past Schmeichel's goal.Barcelona tied the score at 1-2.

In the 60 minutes of the second half, Manchester United's defense made another mistake-in the penalty area, Stam pushed down Rivaldo from behind without any pressure, and gave the opponent a penalty in vain!
Another striker in the Barcelona team, Giovanni, scored easily, 2 to 2 - Barcelona equalized the score.

Ten minutes later, the re-energized Manchester United continued to attack and won a free kick in front of the penalty area.This time it was Beckham again, and Manchester United's No. 10 once again showed a super free kick ability.

Start and swing your legs, and you can see an amazing arc across the sky of Old Trafford, and the ball flew directly into Barcelona's net!
Facing the situation of falling behind again, Barcelona set off a final mad attack. At the last moment, the Barcelona people almost bombed around the gate of Manchester United, and Manchester United's defense leaked everywhere.

Figo's shot was blocked by Bart with his hands in the small penalty area-red card plus penalty!Enrique volleyed from the bottom left corner and scored. Barcelona equalized the score at the last moment.
