Manchester United legend

Chapter 83

Manchester United beat the leader Newcastle. After this victory, the Red Devils got rid of the downturn.

After beating Newcastle, United face Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.

That game was full of low-level mistakes. Manchester United lost another central defender David May, while the opponent's defense was more difficult than Manchester United.

First, Beckham sent a corner kick, and the Rangers defensive players allowed the football to bounce into the small penalty area. Then Manchester United players performed a header relay in the penalty area to break through the goal. From the corner kick to the goal, the Rangers had no defense at all. Andy Cole's goal opened the deadlock for Manchester United.

Then in the second half, the Rangers defender made a mistake again. They gave Irwin the football they controlled in the penalty area.

After an easy lead, it was Schmeichel's turn to make a fool of himself. He was playing with fire in the backcourt. He wanted to take the ball out of the penalty area, but was intercepted by his opponent when he was about to kick the ball with a big kick, and successfully slammed the goal easily.In the end, Manchester United won the game 2-1 without any risk.

But Schmeichel's stupid performance this time made headlines in the media.

After this battle, Manchester United played 21 rounds and scored 41 points, 4 points behind Newcastle, who had one game less. Ferguson could see the back of the magpie.

But Ferguson is destined not to let the Red Devils fans stop this season.

The fans who have been following obsessively and firmly believe in winning the championship have discovered that they really need a big heart this season in order to deal with Manchester United's ups and downs.

Entering New Year's Day in 1996 after two consecutive victories, Manchester United, who had to play two games in three days, once again got a two-game winless game. The 3-1 away loss to Tottenham was simply a disastrous defeat.

In fact, there were early signs of that game. Manchester United lost all the first-choice defenders Bruce, Pallister and substitute David May. Ferguson had to arrange Gary Neville and William Prunier to defend in the middle. He also lost Irwin on the wing and had to separate Parker and Philip Neville.

Such a line of defense is a tragedy against Tottenham, which has attacking players such as Sheringham and Cremoya.Sheringham and Cremoya both scored twice.Manchester United's defense was sieved.

Although Cole scored a goal for Manchester United, it didn't help.

At the same time, the FA Cup also began to compete. The third round of the FA Cup is the round in which the Premier League teams officially participate in the competition. Manchester United's journey to compete for the FA Cup championship has officially begun.

Manchester United's opponent in this round is Sunderland.Before the game, many people thought that this was not an easy battle. Manchester United experienced a disastrous defeat just 3 days ago. They lost to Tottenham Hotspur 1:4 with the record of the largest goal conceded since the Super League and the record of losing goals. The morale of the team was seriously hit.

Although Sunderland's situation is even worse, they have been deeply trapped in the relegation zone and need to concentrate on coping with the Premier League games and fighting for relegation with all their strength.

Although both teams are in trouble, compared with other strong teams drawing mid-level and low-level underdogs, Manchester United's opponent is the Premier League team after all, and Sunderland's nickname of the black cat shows that they are definitely not good at it.

In fact, Manchester United did play very hard, and the two teams did put on a wonderful performance together.

The charm of the football game is that it will not shift with people's will.

Sunderland, which is obviously weaker than Manchester United, conceded a goal first, and the formation was not in disorder at all. Relying on strong fighting spirit and active fighting, they scored 2 goals in a row and surpassed 2:1.Faced with fierce fighting and Cantona's continued slump, Manchester United made frequent mistakes, and it was difficult to establish a sufficient advantage, and it was even more difficult to suppress the opponent.

The game is going on, and the time is under the score of 2:1, and every second is passing by with frequent mistakes... Seeing that Manchester United is about to repeat their upset in the UEFA Cup and be eliminated by the Black Cats, this is a dangerous moment.

However, Manchester United will always create miracles at critical moments. Just when the final whistle was about to sound, Cantona, who was sleepwalking throughout the game, jumped into the net after receiving Beckham's 45-degree long pass!
Manchester United struggled to equalize, and the dream of the FA Cup continued.

A week later, Manchester United traveled to the Stadium of Light for a rematch with Sunderland.

Manchester United got off to a bad start. The opponent broke the goal in the first half, and the scene was difficult to control. Chaos filled every inch of grass.Manchester United had a terrible first half.

Back in the locker room, Ferguson turned on the "hair dryer" and sprayed all the players on the field from start to finish.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United began to attack with trembling spirit, but there was nothing they could do about Sunderland.

It wasn't until 10 minutes left in the second half that the Black Cat's physical strength was almost exhausted, and Manchester United was able to establish an advantage.Gary Neville made a direct pass to Scholes from the backcourt. After Ginger head dribbled the ball laterally outside the penalty area and flashed out of the angle, he shot an extremely tricky shot and hit the ball into the dead corner of the lower left corner to equalize the score for Manchester United.

Manchester United, who equalized the score, boosted their morale and set off more offensives.Shortly before the game went into stoppage time, Manchester United got a left corner, Lee Sharpe sent a super high corner of poor quality

After the ball was cleared, Manchester United reorganized their attack and once again ran the ball to the left. This time Lee Sharpe hoisted the ball into the penalty area from outside the corner. The line, angle and power were perfect!
Ferguson on the bench seemed to foresee what would happen to the pass, stood up early, and clenched his fists.

Sure enough, Cole, who was in ambush at the back point, made a powerful header and smashed the ball into the net-Manchester United reversed!

Ferguson exhaled and raised his eyebrows, raising his arms and shouting.In the end, Manchester United advanced to the next round 2-1.

Then Manchester United was tied by Villa at home in the 23rd round. The gap between the Newcastle team who had been chasing hard before was infinitely widened in an instant!

Manchester United's opponent in the next round of the FA Cup is Reading, Manchester United away.

The game was played on January 1. The defender of Reading made a mistake as soon as the game started. Giggs and Lee Sharp, the "captain of the nightclub team" of Manchester United, grabbed the ball from the Reading defender near the opponent's backcourt penalty area twice in a row. 27 leads!

After the goal, the two hugged and celebrated. The previous fight between the two has passed, and no one remembered it.Or go to nightclubs to find girls together.

The game continued, and Manchester United, who were mainly anti-customers, then played handily and controlled the scene.

In the second half, Manchester United still took the initiative. After getting a pass from Cantona on the right, the veteran Parker advanced all the way on the right.

The veteran has a lot of experience, and when he sees that the opponent's goalkeeper is in the wrong position, he immediately attacks.Parker shot from a long distance of 3 yards from the corner of the penalty area. The shot, which seemed weak, was precisely aimed at the near post that the opponent's goalkeeper could not save, 2-0!

Manchester United's teammates and commentators on the sidelines were all overjoyed by this incredible goal, and Parker was also grinning from ear to ear.

In the end, Butt advanced all the way through the midfield, went deep into the opponent's penalty area and then passed back. Giggs' shot was blocked. Cantona just waited in front of the goal and swept in easily. Manchester United finally beat the opponent 3-0 and advanced to the fifth round.

Before entering February, Manchester United defeated West Ham 2:1 with Cole's two goals, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Manchester United still played one more game in the standings, 9 points behind Newcastle United, and the number of rounds of games has become less and less.

The situation is becoming more and more serious. The only good news is that captains Bruce and Irwin returned from injury, and Pallister and David May also began to recover.

This pleased Jost, who had been playing as a central defender all the time, to finally get rid of the annoyance of being held in the central defender by Ferguson.

Manchester United has survived the most difficult time. When it was looked down upon again, Ferguson believed that his team now really has the confidence to catch up with the opponent.
