Manchester United legend

Chapter 53
Manchester United got off to a fantastic start against arch-enemy Liverpool. Goals from Bruce, Giggs and Irwin gave Manchester United a 3-0 lead in the first half.Only 25 minutes into the first half.Someone boldly predicted that if Liverpool still played like this and did not make some changes, maybe this game would be slaughtered by Manchester United.

The Liverpool fans are great. Although the team fell behind 0:3, they did not boo to express their dissatisfaction with the team, but continued to encourage the team.

Soon, the Anfield Stadium, who felt insulted, erupted even more intensely. Those Red Army fans would not want to see their team humiliated in this way even to the death. "You'll Never Walk Alone" sang loudly.

Seeing that the fans still supported him, the Liverpool players cheered and cheered him on. The brave Liverpool players who knew their shame began to fight back.At this time, the Manchester United players are a bit careless-some of them may already be thinking about where to go for a drink to celebrate after the game.

Liverpool quickly fought back.The Red Army lost in midfield did not think about how to fully suppress Manchester United, they began to try long-range shots.Their attack paid off quickly - because Schmeichel was too careless.

In the 26th minute, the next minute after Manchester United fans had just celebrated 3:0, Liverpool failed to try to penetrate the penalty area with a short pass. Redknapp wanted to pass it to Fowler in the penalty area.

Liverpool midfielder Clough shot vigorously from the midfield 40+ yards away from Manchester United's goal. The ball rubbed against the left post and scored.In fact, the speed and strength of this ball are not top-notch, but the angle is tricky.

According to normal standards, Schmeichel has time to react correctly and should be able to save the ball.

Unfortunately, he didn't do that.

This seemingly impossible goal inspired the fighting spirit of Liverpool players - it turns out that Manchester United players will make low-level mistakes - even if it is a superstar like Schmeichel.

Before the end of the first half, Liverpool once again used a series of low-level mistakes to move the ball to the front of Manchester United's penalty area. Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler dribbled the ball himself and brought the ball to Manchester United player Jost.

However, when the ball appeared near Manchester United’s penalty area again in the 38th minute, the Manchester United players had already cut off the ball’s route, but Jost’s kick was obviously not correct enough. Coupled with the careless defense of other Manchester United players, it was too late when the Manchester United defenders realized that the ball was actually rolling towards the penalty area.

Fowler cuts in at high speed and volleys hard from the edge of the box - this time he hits the left.Schmeichel was equally powerless.Liverpool said the score was tied at 2:3!
In more than 6 minutes before the end of the first half, Manchester United once again rallied and put pressure on Liverpool.Both Giggs and Cantona had the chance to rewrite the score, but it was a pity that the luck was a bit unlucky-Giggs didn't even hit the chance to make up the empty goal from 6 yards in front of the goal!

At the end of the first half, Manchester United ended the first half with a score of 3:2.The first half of the game became a goal battle. The two sides shot a total of 17 shots, which shows the fierceness of the offensive.

When the players walked off the field and went back to the dressing room to rest, the TV broadcast camera was aimed at Ferguson. Ferguson was chewing gum, his face was livid. Maybe someone in the Manchester United team was unlucky.

Back in the waiting room, the furious Ferguson aimed the hair dryer at Jost, who had taken away ten points due to a mistake: "What are you doing, you are sleepwalking on the court, are you awake? Give me energy for the second half, or you won't be able to play again."

After spraying Jost, he then sprayed Schmeichel, who played abnormally in the first half.The depressed Schmeichel just replied a few words.

"F**K, what are you thinking?! You are getting worse every day!" Ferguson yelled at Schmeichel, "Are you fucking going to make us lose our pants?! FU*K!".

"I can't blame it all, everyone is responsible! How can that kind of shot be predicted? Old man, do you think I want to lose?!" The tall goalkeeper lowered his head and shouted loudly.

"Boom!" Ferguson slammed a water bottle in the locker room to the ground, rushed over with his face flushed, and scolded Schmeichel viciously.

The other players were silent, not even daring to say a word.Kidd and other assistant coaches managed to separate the two with difficulty. Ferguson yelled, "You're out of the game in the second half! You SB Danish!" He said angrily, "Your time at Manchester United is over!"

"Who is afraid of whom?" The guilty Schmeichel turned into a grumbling old man.

After half-time, Schmeichel really expected to be substituted, he was left alone in the visitors' dugout, sulking.But soon Bruce came over and said, "Get ready to play! BOSS will give you a chance to prove whether you are worthy of this No. 1 jersey!"

In the second half of the game, Liverpool took advantage of the victory and pursued the offensive. Manchester United's defense was very passive and they were struggling to cope.Schmeichel rallied and saved several threatening shots from Liverpool before striking out to block Fowler's one-handed effort.

Manchester United seemed to be cursed. There were many opportunities but they just couldn't score any goals. Giggs once again wasted a one-handed chance-his shot was decisively saved by the Liverpool goalkeeper.

Inspired by chasing two goals in a row in the first half, Liverpool became more aggressive.Manchester United's players gradually showed signs of unstable mentality, unbalanced offense and defense, no unity of opinion, the formation was broken up again and again, and the whole team was shrinking more and more, and the scene fell into a passive state.Only Schmeichel, who was scolded at halftime, began to wake up, bravely saved many tricky shots from Liverpool, and tried to support Manchester United's precarious defense.

With 11 minutes left in the game, Redknapp dribbled the ball from the bottom line on the left. Jost made a mistake and was slightly injured by Redknapp. He dribbled the ball towards the penalty area. Manchester United center back Bruce had to come out to make up for it. At this time, Redknapp passed the ball accurately. 3:3!Liverpool has accomplished the impossible!
The loud "You'll Never Walk Alone" resounded through the stadium, and the Liverpool fans fell into a frenzy.Another tribute to Robbie Fowler who scored a goal. "Don't be afraid of Liverpool's settlement, because we have 'God' Robbie, he will tie the score for us and lead us to win..."

In the final time, neither team scored a goal, and the score of 3:3 was maintained until the end.Manchester United lost a good game when they scored 3 goals in a row, and were conceded 3 goals by Liverpool. The two teams shook hands and made a draw.Manchester United regretfully lost 2 points.

However, everything that happened later proved that this was only the last consolation for Liverpool that season-the Red Army was once again empty-handed.It is likely that from then on, Liverpool's entire season has become preparing for two games, playing a home and away game with Manchester United, and defeating Manchester United seems to have become their ultimate goal.

When Manchester United were drawn by Liverpool, Ferguson received news from Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards that Manchester United legend Sir Matt Busby was in a coma and admitted to hospital.

Ferguson asked assistant coach Kidd to hold a press conference for him. He was going to visit Sir Busby. Ferguson could not forget Sir Busby's selfless help and advice to him when he was in the most difficult time in Manchester United, and recommended him to the board of directors.

Busby was hospitalized at Alexandra Hospital in Kidder. Ferguson rushed to the hospital and met Sir Busby's son, Sandy Busby.

The two were old acquaintances. After shaking hands briefly, Ferguson said, "How is Sir Busby? Why did he suddenly become unconscious?"

Sandy: "The old man is in good health these days, and he still cares about Manchester United. He said that Manchester United is still the league champion this season. He was reading the newspaper this morning. He was about to get up and go upstairs when he suddenly passed out from alcohol."

After a while, Bobby Charlton and a sloppy beard beside him, but still should have seen that he was handsome when he was young, but the middle-aged uncle came.

Ferguson knew the bearded man from Sir Busby to George Best.

The young boy from Belfast was handsome and handsome, and his ball skills were even more amazing. He became the first superstar in the history of Manchester United and British football in the future.

He has unimaginable skills, amazing running speed, extraordinary ball control ability, superb shooting skills, and all kinds of weird ideas, which can dazzle opponents and fascinate fans, and his movie star appearance makes him a popular lover.

Best, who showed talent at Manchester United, has always maintained respect for Busby. He once said, "I never care about what others think. My only worry is that the old man's heart may not be able to bear my juggling. I often pass people and score goals at will. The old man may be very happy in private, but he always looks sad in front of me, which makes me can't help but score more goals to relieve him."

Later, due to too much pressure, Best became addicted to alcohol and women. Every day, he could not do without wine and beautiful women, and he always came to training drunk. Sir Busby never criticized him, but educated him like a father to help him correct it.I hope that one day Best will be able to repent.

But Best failed to live up to Sir Busby's expectations. Best got worse and worse. At the golden age of a player at the age of 26, he retired hastily.Now Best has changed from a handsome young man to a scruffy bearded uncle Zhongneng.Moreover, Best's body is not as good as before, and his body has long been hollowed out by alcohol and women.In this year's physical examination, Best's liver also had problems.

Ferguson exchanged greetings with Charlton and Best, and a middle-aged blond man came in after a while.Ferguson also knew this man, who was also Busby's favorite player Dennis Law.

This is a man United fans both hate and love.At that time, Manchester United's new coach Tommy Docherty took office, and Busby, who had been caring for Law, retired.

After playing for Manchester United for 11 years, Law also had the intention of leaving.It happened that the new coach was unwilling to use Dennis Law again and wanted to transfer him to another club.

Law originally had a deep affection for Manchester United, but he was disgusted by the unfeeling of the new coach. In a fit of anger, he defected to Manchester United's rival Manchester City.

April 1974, 4 is a day that Law will never forget. On this day, two club teams in Manchester City fought in the same city.

On one side is Lao's old club, on the other is Lao's new employer, and there are thousands of fans who support him in the stadium.Law was in a difficult situation, but after calmly thinking about it, he went on the field with vigor, fought with his former teammates, and sent Manchester United, his old club and enemy, to the second division with a beautiful backheel goal.This scene has also become a classic example of a counterattack in the history of football.

But no one knew that Dennis Law cried all night at home alone after the game.

So Law is not as good as Best and Charlton in the hearts of Manchester United fans.

Now Sir Busby's love will gather together, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Dennis Law.The three are called "The Holy Trinity of Manchester United" by Manchester United fans.

Manchester United honored their contributions by erecting a "Holy Trinity" statue outside Old Trafford for Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law and George Best.

George Best, Dennis Law and Bobby Charlton stand side by side from left to right. George Best puts one arm on his hip and puts one arm around Dennis Law.Sir Charlton hugged the ball with one hand and put his hand on Dennis Law's shoulder.

In the East Stand of the Manchester United Dream Theater, there stands a statue of the legendary Manchester United coach Busby.This statue is opposite to the statue of the Holy Three Heroes.

All three are now visiting Sir Busby.
