Manchester United legend

Chapter 64
Before the official start of the league, there will be a wonderful Charity Shield match.Last season's double champion Manchester United defeated the ambitious Blackburn 2-0.

Jost is frustrated in love, but proud in court.Jost became the most outstanding star in the audience and the best player in this game.

In the first half, Jost received a pass from Kanchelski and decisively seized the opportunity to break into the penalty area. He was violated by Blackburn's David Batty and fell to the ground, winning a penalty for Manchester United. Cantona broke the deadlock for Manchester United overnight.Manchester United lead 1:0.

In the second half, there was another tacit cooperation between Cantona and Jost.Giggs took a corner kick on the left, and the eager corner pass was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper and then fell in the penalty area. Cantona seemed to have a back eye, headed the ball in the penalty area and passed the ball to the unmarked Jost.

Afterwards, Jost saw that the passing of the ball was not ideal, and he only wanted to score the ball, so he shot the ball with a shocking barb and scored the ball.

He has seen Cantona and Hughes practice this kind of shooting in training, but the success rate is not high. He also tried barb shooting, but he missed the ball and fell to the ground.

I didn't expect to score the ball with a barb shot today, it was completely blind.Even the commentator Mortensen also said that if Jost kicked a barb shot, he would definitely not score.

Jost scored a beautiful barb shot, leaving the stunned opponents looking at each other in disbelief.

This extremely beautiful goal also explained to the proud Manchester United players what is domineering and what is invincible.

When accepting the award, Bruce, as the captain of Manchester United, held up the Charity Shield trophy and showed it to the jubilant Manchester United fans.

At that moment, standing beside him was already Schmeichel.Manchester United thus entered the era of Captain Bruce.

This is already a new look at Manchester United, but it is also the familiar Manchester United.

At the beginning of the season, Manchester United's main lineup looked like this: the goalkeeper was Schmeichel, the four defenders were David May, Bruce, Pallister, and Irwin, and Gary Neville was an important rotation role; the four midfielders were Kanchelski, Ince, Jost, Giggs, Lee Sharp, etc. were important substitutes, the forwards were Cantona and Mark Hughes as sharp knives, and McClair was a silent killer who could be on top at any time.

The league started on August 8, and Manchester United's first game was at home.The Red Devils beat Queens Park Rangers 20-2 amid cheers from the crowd.

Mark Hughes scored the first goal of the league for the team. He received the assist from Kanchelski's cross at the top of the penalty area and fired it hard into the upper left corner.

Then, Yes Ince shot vigorously from almost the same position. The ball hit the crossbar and popped out. McClair rushed the ball and easily headed the ball into the dead corner.

In the second game, Manchester United drew 1:1 away with Nottingham Forest. The Forest team was considered a dark horse by the media this season.In fact it is.

This game was very exciting. The two teams played strong offensive football and also played a strong Premier League flavor.

Manchester United opened the scoring for the first time. Lee Sharp made a diagonal long pass from the left frontcourt. The ball flew across the entire half and came to the Forest team's penalty area.

Afterwards, Nottingham Forest also played a wonderful attack. After stopping the ball with his head like acrobatics in the midfield, Coreymore went straight and broke through the siege of Manchester United's defense.

Afterwards, the two sides attacked and defended each other, but both missed many excellent opportunities to score.

Schmeichel performed bravely. In the second half, he saved one after another Collymore's shots, and his reaction and movement were flawless.

Manchester United Hughes hit the post again with another shot and missed the best chance to score.In the end, Manchester United could only shake hands with their opponents.

In the third game, Manchester United traveled to London and defeated Tottenham 1-0 away.The Red Devils captain Bruce responded to Evans' corner kick and made a big contribution at the back point. Manchester United's defenders were all like guards with knives, not only assisting sharply, but also scoring goals.

Interestingly, this game could have scored a lot of goals, but Mark Hughes hit the goal frame again!Then Schmeichel saved the opponent's penalty, saving Bruce's previous mistake.Because Bruce pulled Twitter Nam striker, "German Bomber" Klinsmann in the penalty area.A penalty kick was awarded.

After the game, Bruce had lingering fears, "I think if this game is equalized or reversed by the opponent, the boss will probably let me eat the ball directly! I have to admit, it was a stupid foul. I shouldn't have fouled Klinsmann, and Pallister has come to defend. But fortunately, we won."

In the fourth game, Manchester United played against Wimbledon at home.Red Devils fans welcome back their hero - Eric Cantona.

The King of Old Trafford, who wore the No. 7 jersey this season, was previously suspended by the FA. This game will officially appear in the new season.

Cantona scored as soon as he came on the field, and the opponent's defense was like tofu in his eyes.He responded to Giggs' precise long pass in the penalty area and scored with a direct header, 1-0.

In the second half, Jost successfully intercepted the opponent in the frontcourt, dribbled the ball forward, took the shot given to him by Robson, and shot the goal with a strong low ball outside the penalty area, 2-0.Jost's attack is concise, direct, and not sloppy at all, and the final powerful shot is full of violent beauty.

The last goal was a brilliant performance by Manchester United and a model for teamwork.

Pallister got the ball and transferred it to David May on the right. David May passed it to Cantona. After Cantona attracted the defense, he passed it to Giggs who came to meet him. At that time, Manchester United's frontcourt attack position was extremely free.Manchester United beat Wimbledon 3-0.

In August, Manchester United had 8 wins and 3 tie in four games, with the same points as Newcastle United, but Newcastle led the standings with goal difference; although Blackburn had two big victories, they also had two draws, and the points ranked in the middle.

The start of this season is almost good for Manchester United. The main force is in good condition and the team is domineering. Every game is full of offensive firepower.

By September, Blackburn maintained their winning streak in the league, while Manchester United had a rough month due to the distraction of European competitions, with 9 win and 1 losses in three league games, and the points were quickly overtaken.

In the fifth round, Manchester United was defeated by Leeds 2-1 at home, swallowing the bitter fruit of the first defeat.Leeds United went down to two cities first. Although Ince broke through with the ball and fell outside the Leeds United penalty area, Manchester United relied on the referee's misjudgment to get a penalty. Cantona withstood the pressure of the home fans and scored.

Then Cantona made a precise cross from the right. Unfortunately, Bruce wasted the chance to score a goal that was close at hand, and actually flew the ball 6 yards in front of the goal.

Manchester United missed the best chance to equalize and unfortunately lost away.

In the sixth round, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-0 at home.The former giant Liverpool has taken on a new look. Newcomers such as McMaraman and Fowler have been successfully promoted, but they are unable to cause much trouble to Manchester United.

Jost forced Liverpool midfielder Redknapp's own assist, the ball was assisted by Kanchelski, and then Kanchelski easily scored a goal against the goalkeeper, and Manchester United took the lead into the second half.

Switching sides to fight again, Cantona and McClair tried an exquisite two-over-two cooperation, and McClair scored in the end.Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-0 in the final.

On this day at the Manchester United Carrington training ground, after the Manchester United training, they returned to the locker room one after another and were guaranteed to take a shower and go home.

At this time Bruce came in with a £2 team check in his hand, and Bruce yelled: "Hey! Guys! Come here, I will tell you something."

Some of you were shirtless, and some of you surrounded yourself with briefs on your head.

Bruce saw everyone coming over and said: "This is 2 pounds. We got it from the team's magazine interviews and club video shoots. Each person is 5 pounds. Now I have a proposal. Put the money together for a lottery. Everyone takes out 100 pounds, and then writes your name on the money, and then throws it all in the box. Then I will draw a piece of money in the box. Whose name is written on the drawn money, the check for 2 pounds will go to the person. How about it? Do you agree?"

Many people in the team love to gamble, sometimes on the bus to away games, and now Bruce's proposal has everyone fully agreeing.No one would be short of the thousand pounds.They all find this method stimulating enough.

At this time Beckham said: "Captain, can I not participate? I have just entered the first team and my income is not very high. I want to use the money to buy a gift for my family."

After hearing what Beckham said, Bruce agreed, because he had just started playing professional football and was not very well off. Bruce asked: "Who else wants to withdraw from this lottery, I will give him the money."

Then the Neville brothers, Bart, Gillespie all said they quit, and Bruce gave them the check.Jost and Scholes said they would not withdraw from the draw.

This leaves 2 pounds, which is not a small sum.Everyone took out 100 pounds, wrote their names on the money, put the money in the box, and waited for Bruce to draw the prize.

Everyone waited with bated breath, and finally Bruce took out a coin from the box, and saw Eric Cantona's name written on the coin. The £2 went to Cantona.

Cantona filled his shoulders, saying that this is God's blessing.Stepped up and took the check.

The next morning at training, everyone was changing in the dressing room, and everyone who saw Cantona would make fun of him, 'Eric, you lucky bastard!' 'You got all the money! '' How much of Eric's £2 is left? '
Cantona just smiled when he heard his teammates teasing him. When he saw Jost and Scholes, Cantona took out two checks of [-] pounds and gave them to Jost and Scholes respectively.

When everyone was puzzled, Cantona explained: "Because they dared to take a gamble when they were short of cash. Although the two young people needed money, they still swore the integrity and appreciation of the covenant. So this money is a reward for them.

This is typical Cantona style - unexpected but personable.

At that moment, Jost felt that Cantona was "too stylish. No one else has such chic."

This made Jost feel that he should learn from Cantona, "Being a leader doesn't have to talk a lot; Eric is very quiet."
