Manchester United legend

Chapter 157 Chapter 157
The division and contradictions of the coaching team quickly affected the team, and the myth of Manchester United's undefeated multi-line battle was subsequently broken by the Sheffield Wednesday team.

It was November 1998, 11. At the Hillsborough Stadium, Manchester United, who played with all their main players, was still playing listlessly and in no condition.

Manchester United's players have no tacit understanding on the field, and they rarely run. Every time they fight with their opponents, they are almost at a disadvantage, and the forwards are trapped in a situation of fighting alone.

In the first half, Manchester United was in danger, the defense kept making mistakes, and Schmeichel played poorly again. He faced a long-range shot from his opponent, but when he had already saved the ball, his soles were unstable, and he blocked the ball into his own goal in embarrassment!
This kind of low-level mistake is simply maddening, and Ferguson exploded on the sidelines on the spot!Although Cole and Yorke cooperated wonderfully in the penalty area, Cole finally shot from the side of the small penalty area to equalize for Manchester United, but Manchester United conceded two more goals in the second half and finally lost.

"This is not our normal performance, but we will adapt. Every team will always have some unexpected situations that others cannot predict, but I believe we will return to normal soon."

Ferguson recovered his composure at the press conference after the game.Yes, this is Ferguson's team, not Kidd's, and it's not a "Ferguson + Kidd" team. It's no big deal without Kidd, it's nothing more than finding an assistant coach who is suitable for Ferguson and Manchester United.With Manchester United's signature today, are you afraid you won't be able to find it?
就在风雨飘摇之际，曼联在1998年11月25日出征欧冠小组赛，红魔远赴西班牙挑战巴萨。那一场比赛曼联又和对手打成了3比3平手。

Sonny Anderson broke through the Manchester United gate first, and then Manchester United successfully counterattacked on the spot through a midfield counter-attack, and Yorke equalized the score for the Red Devils.

In the second half, both sides played extremely exciting offenses. Manchester United's Black Wind Shuangsha made two consecutive two-two cooperations in front of Barcelona's penalty area. In the end, Cole, who was completely unguarded, calmly scored against the goalkeeper. 2-2, Manchester United overtook the score.

Not long after, Rivaldo took an extremely precise free kick from around 30 yards. Schmeichel had no reaction and could only watch the ball into the net. Barcelona equalized the score.

At the end of the game, Beckham's cross from the right came into play. His cross found Yorke who was once again unguarded in the penalty area. Yorke shook his head and scored, and Manchester United once again exceeded the score!
The tenacious Barcelona team fought to the end. Their soul man, Rivaldo, once again saved the team's crisis. At the last moment, he received a cross from his teammate in the penalty area, stopped the ball with his back to the goal, and then made an upside-down golden hook.
On November 1998, 11, Manchester United sat at Old Trafford to face the challenge of Leeds United.Ferguson accidentally sent 29 attacking players: the frontcourt black wind Shuangsha + Solskjaer, Scholes is also a standard attacking midfielder, the formation has become a 4 attacking posture - to some extent this can also be said to be a gesture made by Ferguson to Kidd, I just want to do some new tricks, I can guarantee to win!
The game was a near-miss, and the result and process were quite dramatic.In the first half, Manchester United took up most of the offensive, but in the 30th minute, Leeds United scored the goal first. Hasselbaink's shot directly broke the gate of Manchester United.

However, Manchester United quickly retaliated. In the 45th and 46th minutes, the Red Devils launched a blitzkrieg. Solskjaer and Jost scored two consecutive goals to help Manchester United reverse the score.

In the 52nd minute that followed, Leeds United tied again, which made the fans start to worry again.However, Ferguson's team reaped the best rewards at the end of the storm. Under the final storm, Bart, who had not scored a goal for eight months, scored the last goal for Manchester United, helping Manchester United seal the victory 3-2.

随后曼联就进入了最难熬的一个月。先是1998年12月2日，曼联在联赛杯被热刺3比1击败。然后是12月5日，曼联客场挑战榜首球队维拉。

Before this game, Kidd had officially left Manchester United, leaving a mess.In addition to the media continuing to break the news, Manchester United was only one point behind Villa and ranked second before the start of the game. Naturally, they hope to beat their opponents and win the lead. However, Villa played at a very high level at home.

However, compared with the sharp attacking power of Manchester United's four great strikers, Villa's forwards are too generous and selfless. They even missed two golden scoring opportunities.

In the second half, Manchester United finally had a chance to make a sudden attack on their opponents. In the second minute of the second half, Cole shot in the penalty area. After being saved by the Villa goalkeeper, Scholes rushed to the goal.

However, Villa did not give up at all. After 8 minutes, they relied on Zakim's wonderful shot to defeat Schmeichel. In the end, the two sides drew, and Manchester United still had no choice but to come second.

The match schedule in December is a torment for Manchester United. Manchester United almost plays a game in less than 12 days on average.After drawing with leaders Villa, Manchester United ushered in another strong opponent Bayern in the Champions League group stage.

In this game, Manchester United took the lead. Giggs went down from the left and then passed the ball in an inverted triangle to Jost who was inserted in the middle. The captain faced the ball and shot through the net.Then Johansen missed the opportunity by hitting an empty goal from 5 yards in front of the goal. Bayern, who was relieved, finally seized the opportunity and used a corner kick to score an equalizer with Salihamidzic. In the end, Manchester United only scored 1 point.

However, this one point is enough for Manchester United to advance to the knockout stage of the Champions League. Bayern and Manchester United will finally qualify in this group.At that time, no one expected that they would meet again in the final five months later.

After struggling to get out of the Champions League, the exhausted Manchester United returned to the league and was tied 2-2 by Tottenham. Although Solskjaer showed his killer qualities and Beckham's right cross was extremely accurate, Manchester United relied on the cross from the right and Solskjaer's inspiration in front of the goal. In the first half, they scored twice within 17 minutes and achieved a 2-0 lead.

But unfortunately, Gary Neville fouled and was sent off with a red card. The Manchester United team, which had only 6 players, was soon beaten. Under the difficult defense, [-] players paid the price of receiving yellow cards!
In the end, Tottenham took advantage of the right time and place and continued to attack wildly. Campbell scored consecutive goals and forced Manchester United to a draw in stoppage time of the game.

The bad luck of Lien Chan and Lianping seems to have taken root directly in the Manchester United team. After two consecutive draws, Manchester United actually encountered another draw at home, this time a 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

In fact, at that time, many people thought it was very strange. Chelsea seemed to be the nemesis of Ferguson's Manchester United. Before this game, they had been unbeaten in the Dream Theater for six consecutive seasons.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United scored first with Cole's free throw, but in the second half, the Red Devils fell into the siege of their opponents. In the 83rd minute, Chelsea's soul Zola dribbled the ball all the way.
