Manchester United legend

Chapter 243 Beckham's New Hairstyle
Chelsea played against Manchester United, Chelsea made a perfect start, and the black and strong Hasselbaink gave Chelsea the lead.

Then the fight between the two sides gradually increased.

Around 57 minutes, Jost was stepped on by his opponent when confronting Hasselbaink. His ankle hurt so much that he fell to the ground.

Jost's anger was ignited by this, and the promise he had sworn before the game to restrain his hot temper was forgotten by him.In the 62nd minute, Jost shoveled Poyet down from behind, and the referee took out a red card without hesitation and sent him off.

This is Jost's seventh red card for Manchester United.It is also the first player to receive a red card in a game like the Charity Shield in the past 7 years.

Previous?That was Kevin Keegan and Brunner being both sent off in the 1974 Charity Shield match between Liverpool and Leeds United.

In the 73rd minute, Chelsea's Dutch defender Melchiot broke through Manchester United's defense, quickly cut into the right wing of the penalty area and then shot. The ball passed between Stam's legs and flew into the net. 2-0 - Chelsea eventually won and took home the Charity Shield.

Chelsea, which won the victory, became the focus of the news. Zola, who was outstanding in the game, was named the best player in the game. He announced after the game that he would stay in the Premier League and was warmly welcomed by Chelsea fans.

The two new aids were also praised by Vialli. The technical and tactical level shown by the whole team is enough to make the Blues fans fantasize about more championships.

The defeated Manchester United did not take it seriously. Two seasons ago, Manchester United lost 0 to 3 to Arsenal, but finally achieved the "Triple Crown";

Ferguson just vented his dissatisfaction with the referee, "Sometimes the referee is so merciful that we don't know what will happen in the next moment. Hasselbaink's foul on Jost is definitely a yellow card action, and that is also the root of Jost's loss of control."

Jost has become a thorn in the side of referees in the Premier League. This red card also made him fined 104000 pounds by the FA and suspended by the FA for three games.

The fine created a new personal fine record for a Premier League player. The only good news is that the FA does not plan to impose additional penalties on Jost, and did not understand the "complaints" of Chelsea players.

Ferguson said, "It's no big deal, we'll accept the punishment - what else can you do? I haven't seen the whole process of developments, and I can't comment on this red card. We will miss Jost, but it doesn't mean we will lose our dominance. Manchester United will have enough strong players to support the team going forward. The league is about to start and we are full of confidence."

"Don't ask me whether I am convinced or not. I can't have a duel with the referee to decide whether I am righteous or evil."

Jost was still not happy about the loss after the match, and dismissed the opponent's provocation, "Which bastard dares to provoke me?! Don't babble like a bitch when you have something to say. Just meet each other on the field in the future. I promise not to beat them to death."

After the game, Chelsea's victory made the reporters express a lot of speculation that the Blues will challenge Manchester United, but the odds of "Manchester United will win the Premier League" offered by the bookmaker did not decrease at all.

The time came to late August 2000, the Premier League season officially started, and Manchester United's first game was against Newcastle United at home.

Before the game, the media rendered this game as a "shooter battle", that is, the competition between the main forwards of the two teams: Cole VS Shearer, Cole competed for the starting striker position of the England national team, and Shearer needed to defend his honor as England's chief striker.

Ferguson was considerate, met the fans' demands, and sent Cole and Sheringham together in the starting lineup.

In fact, this game also requires the participation of another shooter Sheringham-three generations of shooters from England, old, middle and young, all gathered in the Theater of Dreams.

The difference in strength ultimately determines the outcome of the game.Even if Newcastle has a super striker like Shearer, it is still difficult to save the defeat.

After the opening, Manchester United quickly took advantage, and Newcastle quickly returned to the previous mode of intercepting in the midfield, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack after a head-to-head encounter with Manchester United, and using Shearer's containment and cover in the frontcourt to attack the Red Devils' defense.

After 15 minutes, Manchester United began to suppress their opponents, while Newcastle returned more manpower to the penalty area to defend.

Manchester United opened the situation with a set kick in the 21st minute. Beckham took a corner kick from the left. The Norwegian defender Johansen, who had returned from injury this season, headed the goal.

The ensuing game became wide open as Newcastle, unwilling to accept defeat, pushed the front line forward, while Manchester United continued their onslaught.The fans saw the tide of offensives and scoring opportunities from both sides, and the game became more exciting and intense.

Giggs' volley shot was blocked by the goal frame, and the Greek defender Dabisas, who is good at heading the ball, also topped the ball on the goal frame. The two goal frames of Old Trafford became the focus of eyeballs.

In the second half, Manchester United continued to take the initiative. In the 69th minute, Cole dribbled the ball towards the penalty area from the left. 2 to 0 - Manchester United sealed the victory.

The result of the game was not too upset, and Manchester United's news was all outside the stadium.Cole blew the clarion call to return to the national team with his outstanding performance, and the injury of Manchester United's three backs became a challenge for Ferguson's subsequent formation.

What concerned the fans the most was that the media once again exposed the conflict between Beckham and Ferguson before the game—the generation gap between the "father and son" is getting bigger and bigger.

Before training before the game, Beckham designed and created a "Mohawk" hairstyle, and used hairspray to make the hair stand upright, looking more like attending a runway show than training.

Gary Neville was puzzled, "Hey guy, can you head the ball with this hair? Are you going to sweat with this look?"

Beckham said: "I have an event after training, and I'm going to wear this hairstyle. So I pre-made it!"

Ferguson was so angry: "David! Do you still want to play football?! Get the hell out of here now, and cut off that lock of hair!"

The furious Ferguson stared at Beckham with wide eyes, wanting to eat him. The horror of the "hairdryer" has surpassed that of a giant typhoon. When Beckham saw that something was wrong, he hurried out of the dressing room.
