Manchester United legend

Chapter 213 Chapter 210 Chapter Three
Ferguson and Beckham had conflicts. Ferguson remained silent during the turmoil. Beckham expressed his disappointment with the incident, "I never thought of going to another team to play. When I was a child, I always dreamed of playing for Manchester United one day. Now this wish has finally come true. I don't want to lose it easily.

Yes, Beckham loves United as much as he loves his wife Victoria and 11-month-old son Brooklyn.

He once said to a friend: "I have been a Manchester United fan since I was born, and it has always been my dream to play for Manchester United. I don't want my career at Manchester United to end. I love Victoria, I love Brooklyn, and I love Manchester United. This is love without distinction."

Beckham's friend White said, "I can understand Ferguson and Beckham. Beckham loves playing for Manchester United more than anything else.

He was always the first to the training ground and the last to leave.He had explained the situation to Ferguson and admitted his mistake.

Ferguson can also understand Beckham's approach, although he does not agree with it.Beckham loves his children like most new fathers do.

In fact all the problems just stem from their lack of explanation and communication.And their personalities are too tough, lacking a buffer zone. "

This is indeed a misunderstanding.But there is indeed a lack of tacit understanding and trust between Ferguson and Beckham.

Although Ferguson will still put Beckham in the starting position in the subsequent games, once the cracks appear, they will always exist and it is difficult to make up.

The game on February 2000, 2 was repeatedly hyped by the media, but it was not submerged in the conflict between Ferguson and Beckham.

After all, this game of challenging opponents at home to Leeds United is really of great significance to Ferguson and Manchester United.

Ferguson attaches great importance to it-this is a contest between the old strong team and the old overlord facing the impact of the new generation.

Although it does not affect the provisional standings ranking, it will definitely affect the morale of the two teams in the league in the future and affect the trend of the final points.

Ferguson decisively ruled out Beckham, and took the risk of using the forward combination of Cole and Yorke, in order to maintain enough threats on the offensive end.

Yorke, who has scored 11 goals this season, is the striker with the most goals and the most stable form in Manchester United. However, he temporarily returned to the team and flew thousands of kilometers. It took 26 hours and his combat effectiveness was affected.

After the start of the game, Leeds United had the upper hand for a time. The Whites sitting at home were very morale and aggressive, and wanted to kill Manchester United's spirit at the beginning.

On the other hand, Manchester United carefully dealt with their opponents and deployed heavy troops in the midfield. First of all, they must be based on a stable layout to kill the morale of their opponents.

Ferguson put the combination of Jost and Bart in the midfield. Facing the energetic impact of the Leeds United youth army, the two powerful meat grinders were like standing stones, unmoved, and supported the defense line well.

However, the slowness of Stam and Irwin still gave opponents a lot of opportunities. Leeds United's frontcourt attack line is very fast, and it specifically targets Irwin's side to attack, bullying the speed and turn of the veteran.

In the 18th minute, Kewell from the left side of Leeds United broke through Irwin at high speed. When Irwin chased back, he knocked down his opponent and received a yellow card.

Leeds United got a free kick opportunity, Hart's free kick shot directly, Manchester United goalkeeper Bosnich stretched out his hand, the ball hit the post and popped out of the bottom line.

Since then, Stam has repeatedly made mistakes. He passed the ball to the opponent's players twice, both of which caused his side to be in danger in front of the goal.

Not only is the defense unstable, Manchester United also has problems with the forwards.

The Red Devils suffered a blow in the 27th minute. Yorke, who came from afar to play for the king, was injured. He could not persist in the game and had to leave the field. Ferguson's double striker tactics before the game were affected.

Ferguson replaced Yorke with Sheringham, and the team further shrunk their position.

Leeds United then found themselves facing a hedgehog with spikes erected, and it was difficult to find more opportunities in front of the goal.Neither side opened the record in the first half.

Leeds United had an advantage in the first half, and many home fans thought they would be able to break through Manchester United's defense in the second half.

After struggling to withstand the first half, Manchester United suddenly showed their strength in the second half and launched a fierce attack from the beginning.

In the 52nd minute, Manchester United launched a quick attack. Cole, who was lurking in the midfield, received a long pass from Scholes, turned around and sprinted ahead of time, winning the opportunity.

Cole quickly got rid of the entanglement of the opponent's defender Radebe, dribbled the ball into the penalty area at high speed, and successfully scored this one-handed shot.

Manchester United scored the first goal-the Red Devils reversed the disadvantage of the scene and took the initiative of the score in one fell swoop.

The score of 1 to 0 completely made Leeds United into a mess. O'Reilly's pre-match arrangement was completely disrupted by the new situation. The players of Leeds United did not know what to do for a while.

Manchester United seized the opportunity to continue the onslaught. After 3 minutes, the Red Devils tore through the opponent's defense again. Jost stepped in and swayed Radebe and then stabbed in the penalty area. The ball flew towards the goal after Woodgate's refraction.
In the following game, Leeds United set off a frenzy of attack. In the 58th minute, Leeds United got a corner kick. Hart's cross found Buck in the Manchester United penalty area. Buck's powerful header flew to the dead corner. Just when Bosnich had already surrendered, the ball hit the goal frame!

Not only that, the goal frame continued to be a good partner of Manchester United. In the 80th minute, Wilcox's long-range low shot was deflected by Bosnich, and it bounced off the post and missed!

The jambs saved Manchester United for the third time!This is not over yet—Smith successfully inserted in to grab a point, and he got the chance to make a supplementary shot in front of the goal. His supplementary shot from a small angle 4 meters in front of the goal actually hit the inside of the same post again!
After the ball popped out again, Manchester United's penalty area continued to be chaotic. Leeds United still had a chance. Bowyer grabbed the ball in front of the goal again, but he hit an empty goal and the ball flew high above the lintel!
At the critical moment, it turned out to be Bowyer who made a rescue for Manchester United!

The following games continued to be full of surprises. The fierce scrambling and suffocating competition made the whole game proceed at high speed.In the end, with strong will and tight defense, Manchester United kept the 1-0 score to the end and won the game!

The post-match commentator said, "In fact, the protagonists of this game are not the goalkeeper and the striker, but the goal frame!"

That's right, the goal frame has become a good friend of the goalkeepers of both sides. It blocked the must-goal goal 5 times in a row!

Ferguson was very nervous throughout the game, and his shots appeared from time to time in the live TV programs.Rarely, Ferguson did not sit on the coach's bench to direct, but stood on the sidelines to direct.

Different from his usual confident and scheming appearance, this time Ferguson was very excited. He jumped and ran back and forth from time to time, without stopping to speak, and the camera also captured him calling loudly from time to time with short sentences mixed with "Three Character Classics", blushing and directing players into defensive or offensive positions.

It has to be said that he was under a lot of pressure. The pre-match preparations caused him to be criticized by many ball critics, who believed that he put personal grievances above the overall interests of Manchester United.

Even Manchester United fans have a lot of support for Beckham, thinking that Ferguson should forgive Beckham and let the heartthrob start.

It wasn't until the end of the game that Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief.His risk didn't fail, and although he was a bit sloppy in starting Yorke and reckless in his decision to dismiss Beckham, his decision paid off in the best possible way.
