Chapter 18 Lead the snake out of the hole
"Hey man, they pass the ball too easily at the right back, we should press them high."

Taking advantage of the gap between throwing the ball and kicking off, Beckham took the initiative to communicate with Lee Sharpe. This talented left winger is a rare player in England who has both speed and technique. Every time he handles the ball, people can see his spirituality.

But his shortcomings are also obvious. He usually doesn't focus on football, and he doesn't focus on defense during games.

"David, it's great that you can discuss this with me, but I like to solve problems in my own way."

In Lee Sharp's impression, Beckham was just a child, and he obviously wouldn't be at the mercy of a boy.

"Do as he says, we have to put pressure on the other side, they shouldn't score!"

Keane came to support Beckham, and used an unquestionable tone.

"No problem, I'll do as you say!"

Lee Sharp didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly compromised.

Re-kick-off, Manchester United began to control the football at their feet, not giving the opponent a chance to disrupt the game.

West Ham United are not afraid of tough English teams, they are experts at this style of play.

But when they compete with Manchester United for pass control, they are obviously not opponents.

After kick-off, Manchester United quickly passed the football to Lee Sharpe. In the current lineup, he is one of the most threatening players for Manchester United.

Before Lee Sharpe could catch the ball, the West Ham United players came up from behind and squeezed him hard with their upper body, trying to keep him from holding the ball.

As long as Manchester United's passing stagnates, West Ham can immediately play a tough football style in the chaos.

Lee Sharp leaned hard on the defender, and suddenly dodged around the opponent at the moment the football came.

The sudden change took the defender by surprise, and the football passed between his legs.

Manchester United's left midfielder took advantage of the situation to advance forward, and at the moment when West Ham's defensive players rushed up, he knocked Bart horizontally, and the latter made a slight adjustment and passed it directly to Beckham.

"David, try to break through him."

Keane yelled as the West Ham left-back approached Beckham.

Beckham understood that Keane was giving him a position, not encouraging him to do something reckless.

But in order to get rid of the other party, there must be enough drama.

Beckham pretended to break through, and under Keane's psychological suggestion, West Ham United's defenders immediately accelerated to block his dribbling route.

Just as the opponent accelerated, Beckham stopped suddenly, then passed the ball to the Irish midfielder, and then rushed forward with all his strength.

The full-back of West Ham United was dumbfounded. He is not chasing back now, and it is too late to block Keane, so he can only try to move to Keane's passing route.

How could Keane give him this chance, and when he moved laterally halfway, he passed the ball to Beckham with the outside instep.

The pass was sent to the front of Beckham just right, and he took the ball to the edge of the penalty area in three or two steps.

Without waiting for the opponent's central defender to stand up, he immediately passed the ball to Scholes.

West Ham United's central defender was unable to suppress Jiangtou, who was only 1 meters tall, from behind in the process of returning to defense.

Scholes dribbled the ball laterally the moment the defender stuck to him, and West Ham United's defense immediately fell into chaos. Those tall defenders were drilled by Scholes and there was nothing they could do.

Jiangtou made a horizontal step and volleyed the shot. The defenders couldn't block it in time, and the goalkeeper didn't have time to move. He watched the football fly towards the goal.

"Oh, no!"

The moment Scholes shot the goal, he yelled in annoyance. As an expert in stealing houses, he had a bad feeling the moment he shot the goal.

Sure enough, the football hit the crossbar with a loud bang, and then bounced onto the seventh floor of the stands.

There was a sigh in an instant at Old Trafford, and all Manchester United fans were sighing for the beautiful attack just now.

The football that flew into the stands suffered, and was kicked and beaten by Manchester United fans as if venting, so it could only dodge XZ.

West Ham then retreated across the board and survived the first half with difficulty.

During the half-time break, Ferguson showed high spirits: "Gentlemen, we played well in the first half. Some mistakes were unavoidable. We need to solve them together. If we play like this in the second half, we will definitely win."

Sitting in front of the locker, Beckham was in a very relaxed state. He felt like a veteran of many battles, even if he encountered a tragic situation, he could handle it with ease.

In his opinion, even if Manchester United can't win, it's impossible to lose. The opponent's pass control is too rough.

After the start of the second half of the game, West Ham United continued to guard against death. Manchester United stormed around the opponent, but the score remained unchanged.

They missed several must-goal opportunities in a row, allowing their opponents to slow down.

After two consecutive substitutions and adjustments, West Ham United led the whole team through some parts, and it seemed to be on par with Manchester United on the scene.

Ferguson sat on the coach's bench, revealing an imperceptible smile.

Manchester United's strongest lineup is on the field, but the word "strongest" is not small.

If the Manchester United team always plays against their opponents on the field, when the team is unable to attack for a long time, their confidence is frustrated, and their physical fitness declines, they are likely to overturn at home.

It's not that Ferguson doesn't want to make substitutions, but due to injuries, Manchester United's lineup is really stretched, and they can barely piece together a lineup.

On their bench sat Andy Cole, who had just recovered from injury, Philip Neville, who had a touching performance in the last game, and a youth player.

He didn't dare to release these three beasts unless it was absolutely necessary.

Now West Ham United dare to attack, which is exactly what he wants. If this not weak opponent is determined to play the bus, it will take a lot of effort for all Premier League teams to win them.

But if they dare to let go of the pressure, they will only be a poor mid-range team.

The formation of West Ham United slowly moved forward, and the players began to look forward to the happy result of surviving a catastrophe.

However, the Manchester United team with veteran players is not in vain. No matter how active the opponent is, he is still a mediocre opponent.

So even if the team is pulled out to play in the field, West Ham's disadvantage in controlling the ball still makes them chase Manchester United most of the time.

The frontcourt players of the Manchester United team fully demonstrated the integration of high-level players and the whole, and the dazzling offensive cooperation made the opponent exhausted.

This time West Ham United did not choose to "steal their lives". Their head coach changed another player and prepared to be tough with Manchester United.

Highlights of Aston Villa slamming Manchester United this week have been inspiring all the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

West Ham are starting to invest heavily in attacking manpower, which means they will only have more space to play.

The defensive side on the field became Manchester United, but compared with the West Ham United team in the first half, they did not defend passively, but stabilized the fence, disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm with the counterattack of several players.

In the 68th minute, West Ham United won a corner kick.

They put 7 players into the frontcourt at one time, and Scholes and Butt of the Manchester United team stood next to the goalposts on both sides.

West Ham United took a corner kick and their striker headed the ball in front of the point, causing the ball to turn back and go straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.

Schmeichel didn't have time to move at all, now it was Scholes's turn to watch.

The football was on Jiang's head and chest, and it was very awkward to use his head and feet, and he had no chance of making mistakes at all, and the goal was behind him.

Ginger Head took a sharp breath, then blocked the ball with his chest.

However, the danger of Manchester United has not been lifted. Scholes's clearance method has no way to push the ball far.

After a round of scrambling in the penalty area, the football was picked up by a West Ham player. He swung his kick towards the goal. Beckham felt his heart beat suddenly faster, which was too exciting.

At the moment when the West Ham United players shot, Gary Neville jumped towards the direction of the opponent's shot like a diver.

The football hit his back and bounced near the penalty area line. Beckham got the ball first. The moment he touched the ball, he waded the football nearly 10 meters and ran towards the opponent's goal.

It may be that his heartbeat was too fast, he felt that all his movements were more than one beat faster than usual.

Giggs often said: "Quick counterattack is the most afraid of thinking too much, just do it!"

Beckham thought the same way. When he touched the ball again, he waded the ball out for nearly 10 meters. Seeing him so rough, West Ham's defense panicked.
