Chapter 38
On the second day, Beckham bought several newspapers on the way to training, wanting to see the media's evaluation of the England team. All England fans will learn about the surroundings of the game in the newspapers the day after the game.

To Beckham's delight, Gary's first appearance was well received.

All the media agree that Gary Neville's performance is worthy of the England team.

"Gary didn't seem nervous on his first England cap and he continued his excellent form for the club."

"This young man who has just turned 20 has covered more than 11000 meters in the game. He is solid in defense and decisive. Apart from a few reckless tackles that may lead to yellow cards and a few mistakes in the backcourt, there is no other problem."

"Gary's debut was brilliant. He lived up to the trust of the head coach and fulfilled his task with due diligence."

"If he can continue like this, he could be England's starting right-back for the next decade."

A wave of praise from the media almost blew Gary Neville off, and Philip Neville also received a few words of praise. Seeing that the story of the Neville brothers fighting for the country together is about to become a good story.

Beckham almost finished reading the report on Gary Neville with a smile. This guy's hard work finally paid off.

Maybe because Gary Neville is a newcomer, the media is relatively gentle with him.

But for the England team, the media from all walks of life rarely bought it.

"442" described the performance of the FA in choosing a friendly match opponent as a Japanese woman walking in a kimono, with too small steps.They felt that England should be gaining from every game, rather than beating an Asian team that had never made it to the World Cup.

The "Guardian" also expressed a similar view. They believed that with 10 months before the European Cup to be held at home, the England team should make some brave attempts.

Compared with these two media, the attitude of other newspapers is still friendly, and everyone basically takes a wait-and-see attitude.

The team has one more game, and it's not time to draw conclusions yet.

Gary Neville's performance in the England team stimulated Beckham's competitive spirit, which made him more strict with himself in the next few days of training, and spared no effort in the group confrontation.

During a training session, Beckham and Lee Sharp were assigned to different teams to fight against each other.

Lee Sharpe's form this season is very good, probably because Giggs' rapid growth gave him a sense of crisis. At the beginning of the season, he changed his usual idle state and performed well in the left midfielder position.

However, his defensive state is still a slot criticized by the media. His trot marking and staring defense made the opponent players score well after the game.

But in today's group confrontation, he seemed to be wound up, running all over the court when attacking, and he could be said to spare no effort when defending.

This made Beckham a little unhappy.

You never cared so much in the competition, why did you get so upset when it came to the confrontation match.

What's even more exaggerated is that there were a few times when he was fighting for a half of the ball, this guy actually used tackles several times in a row.

What do you think about me?
Since the other party is so serious, Beckham doesn't intend to be polite anymore, catching Lee Sharp is like a "hard hammer and a hard blow".

Seeing that the two of them confronted each other with live ammunition in the training match, the teammates around them also watched the excitement as a big deal, and passed the ball to their own spirited guy when they got the ball.

As a result, the nearly 40-minute confrontation turned into a one-on-one duel between two people, which felt like a basketball game.

The confrontation between the two made Ferguson hooked, shouting like a fan on the sidelines.

He does not take sides and encourages whoever performs well.

Seeing the head coach come up, Brian Kidd was a little helpless. According to the training plan, the game was over, but the old man had no intention of stopping the game at all.

He could only remind at the right time: "Boss, the time has come, why don't we stop here today?"

Ferguson is like a child who hasn't played enough: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there are no games in these two days. Instead of letting them waste their energy in the bar, it is better to spend it on training."

If Beckham heard what he said, he would definitely cry out.

After all, he has completed the training in both quality and quantity in the past two days, and he has never been lazy. How could he become an idler in the eyes of the old man?

It wasn't until Lee Sharpe's feet started to float, gradually showing signs of making Beckham rub against the ground, that Ferguson stopped the game and began to summarize the training.

After the training, the old man chatted with Beckham with great interest: "David, I am very satisfied with your state during this time. You are 20 years old this year, and it is time to make a name for yourself. But don't cock your tail, Gary has already got a chance to play in the England team, and you still have a lot of room for improvement.

I can guarantee that when the European Cup is over next year, the head coach will definitely inspect newcomers on a large scale. At that time, we must seize the opportunity, and don't wait until the age of 25 without even being able to touch the national team. "

Hehe, the old man is beating Lee Sharp, I just need to listen.

Beckham glanced at Lee Sharp who was not far away, and he found that the other party's eyes were staring straight ahead without focus.

It turned out that in the eyes of the old man, 24 years old is not considered a young man. It seems that I have to work harder to avoid being put on eye drops by the old man in two years.

At the end of the training that day, Lee Sharp sat on the lawn for a long time. He suddenly felt that the world no longer revolved around him.

On the England side, Gary Neville's performance can be described as "good times don't last long".

As the host of next year's European Cup, the England team has a lot of time to test the team's combat effectiveness. Their opponent in the second friendly match is Brazil.

Beckham basically watched the England team being beaten in front of the TV with popcorn in his hands.

After a 15-minute trial, Brazil focused their attack on Gary Neville, who was disgraced by Leonardo and Roberto Carlos' attacking combination, and England were doubled by Bebeto in the first half.

They got a goal back from Shearer at the beginning of the second half. He scored the goal in the same way as his old three. After taking the ball, he flew the central defender with his butt, then slammed a kick on the edge of the penalty area, raised an arm and ran around after scoring.
Seeing that the England team showed signs of a counterattack, the Brazilian team coach Zagallo waved his hand and replaced Romario with a young man with a short cut, round face, big teeth, and a smirk all the time.

The appearance of this buddy is really unforgettable. If he is British, he will be selected for the England team just because of his appearance, and he will be complained by the media for a month.

The cheap and poisonous style of the English media is really terrifying!
Beckham continued to watch the game after defaming Mater and the English media.

The round-faced big die was still a little stiff at the beginning, but after 5 minutes of getting used to it, it gradually let go.

Then the Brazilian team launched a counterattack. Big Mater ran to the left to get the ball. He was pedaling a bicycle in front of Gary Neville. Poor Gary was directly shaken to the ground by the opponent.

Damn, it's so fierce!

This brilliance surprised Beckham. You must know that Gary Neville was not given for nothing. He is a ruthless character who has been professionally defending for 20 years, but he couldn't hold it for two seconds.

The Brazilian's performance continued. He used a pendulum dribble in the penalty area to shake Campbell away, and then hit Seaman with a crotch.

The morale of the England team was hit to a freezing point all of a sudden, and it never got stronger in the following games.

This is too rough!
Today is an eye-opener!
Until the end of the game, Beckham did not recover from the shock.

By the way, what's the name of that ugly big die?

He was so engrossed in watching the game that he didn't even remember the opponent's name.
