Chapter 4 The Full Moon Scimitar debuts

On August 8, just a week before the start of the new season, Beckham decided that Manchester United were not ready.

United sold Paul Ince and Mark Hughes on the first day of the summer transfer window, and Kanchelski, who is training with the reserves, should be out of the club in the last fortnight.

These three players are the absolute main force of the team in recent seasons, and they are also the meritorious players of the club's two consecutive Premier League titles. Ferguson's sudden cleaning has triggered a series of chain reactions.

Knowing that Manchester United is short of people, several players who have transfer rumors with the team have been marked with high prices, and some competitors who were originally open-minded immediately terminated the transfer negotiations with Manchester United.

Beckham learned from the morning newspaper that the Tottenham team officially announced that it had successfully renewed the contract with right forward Darren Anderton. The England international and the Manchester United team had already reached the point of "talking about marriage".

Everyone thought that the next time Anderton appeared in the newspaper, it meant that he had successfully transferred to Manchester United. They didn't expect him to renew his contract. I don't know how Tottenham club used him to keep him.

When Beckham saw the newspaper, Ferguson's angry expression immediately appeared in his mind.

Throughout the training session in the morning, all the players of the team were obedient, motivated, and proactive. The quality of the training session was frighteningly high. Even Ferguson, who was gloomy at first, smiled.

The intensity of the whole training session is not high, because Manchester United will have a friendly match with Bradford in the afternoon.

At the end of the training, Ferguson announced the starting lineup for the warm-up match, and Beckham was the team's starting right midfielder.

Captain Bruce and David May were injured one after another, and the team now only has Pallister as a genuine central defender. Gary Neville, who had been playing central defender in his youth, was put into the defensive center by Ferguson.

This is to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Knowing that he will be the team's central defender for the next two weeks, Gary Neville's whole temperament has changed.

Beckham saw a mixture of melancholy, stubbornness, pride, and tragedy from him.

In the warm-up match in the afternoon, the slogan "1966 is the most important year in British football - Eric was born" was played in the stands of Old Trafford.

This is another trouble Ferguson faces, and the frontcourt core Cantona is likely to move to Inter Milan.

The rebellious, self-willed Frenchman was banned for nine months worldwide last season for clashing with Crystal Palace fans.

At that time, the chairman of the board of directors Edwards had already announced that he would terminate the contract with the Frenchman, but Ferguson then held an emergency meeting and conquered the board of directors with a "hair dryer". Instead of terminating the contract with the Frenchman, the club kept him with a big contract.

Originally, the matter was over. Cantona trained with the team in July and also participated in a closed training game at the end of the month.

This kind of game is regarded by Manchester United as in-team training, but after the news media broke the news, some commentators believe that Cantona violated the ban to participate in the game, and the FA should investigate this and impose additional penalties.

Cantona has once again become the focus and topic of football.

A reporter with a good thing blocked Cantona for an interview, but was rejected by the French.

Some reporters also successfully interviewed the chairman of the board of directors, Edwards, who was firm: "Manchester United does not believe that Cantona violated the FA's ban. Cantona participated in a training match, not an official game. The FA should not discuss this and increase penalties."

In any case, the angry Frenchman was thoroughly angered by the FA and the media. He said hello to Ferguson and went back to France for vacation.

The English media did not intend to let the Frenchman go. The media followed Cantona all the way to Martinique and kept taking pictures of his pregnant wife.

Cantona was completely enraged, and he killed the English reporter on the spot.

The reporter called the police. France's strict privacy law protected Cantona, but the French were really disgusted by the English media.

Inter Milan, who just bought Paul Ince from Manchester United, was moved by the news and expressed their love for the French striker through the media.

The French said that he would consider going to other leagues, which made Ferguson unable to sit still. Seeing that there are less than 2 months left in the suspension period, the players were pissed off by the media, what is going on.

After obtaining the consent of the board of directors and fan groups, Manchester United hung a banner praising the Frenchman in this warm-up match.

It is said that Ferguson will make a special trip to France, and he is determined to keep Cantona.

Cantona is not worried, and the situation on Manchester United's side is also a sign of desperation.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Giggs was tackled by the opponent's central defender in front of the penalty area.

Beckham immediately ran to Giggs who was lying on the ground: "Ryan, you can't just rely on it, you can't afford the water and electricity bills of the stadium."

Giggs held his leg sadly: "That tackle was nothing, but my hamstring hurt so much when it landed, I don't think I can play."

Beckham nodded, and Dave said that the hamstring is not a big deal, since you are fine, then I will go to work.

Hmm. There is nothing wrong with listening to the doctor.

Confirming that Giggs is fine, Beckham hugged the football in his arms. The free kick was on the edge of the penalty area and close to the middle.

It's time to show your true strength!
Beckham placed the ball in the penalty spot, watching the goalkeeper's position as he stepped back.

Because it was a warm-up match, there were not many people in the Bratford team's wall, and the goalkeeper seemed careless.

The right corner of Beckham's mouth rose slightly. This human wall is not as good as a prop. He believes that as long as the ball hits the goal, he can score.

However, before he was proud, Beckham took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and then started to run.

He found that he was starting to run up, and the goalkeeper's attention was still on the commanding wall. This buddy has a lot of experience.

Beckham raised his left hand high and swung his right leg fully. The moment the football kicked out, he felt that the ball should be there.

The football bypassed the human wall and drew a very large arc horizontally. When it was close to the goal, it suddenly changed direction and almost flew into the goal by rubbing against the goal post.

"Haha, there it is!"

It was Beckham's first free-kick for Manchester United and he opened his arms and laughed heartily after scoring.

The teammates all ran up and patted him on the back. This was a warm-up match, so everyone was more restrained.

If it is placed in the league, if you don't pay attention to self-protection, you may be injured by your teammates.

If you put it in the game against Liverpool, you have to run around after scoring a goal, otherwise you may be stacked by excited teammates.

Beckham was thinking about it, observing the reactions of others, Ferguson was smiling and applauding, the fans in the stands were singing, and the Bradford goalkeeper was touching his nose with a glove in embarrassment.

After kicking this free kick, Beckham felt that his whole body was unobstructed.

But the good start didn't last. Less than 5 minutes before Manchester United scored, the opponent scored.

The Bradford centre-forward received a cross from his team-mate and headed it hard into the goal. Gary Neville looked like a schoolboy in front of him.

Manchester United re-kick-off and Beckham noticed that Gary Neville was only up to Pallister's neck, what a fantastic centre-back combination.

Beckham felt sorry for Gary Neville for a second. With his height, as long as he dared to appear in England, he would definitely be held down and beaten by his opponent.

Facts have proved that his prediction was correct. Bradford's frontcourt players concentrated on slinging Gary Neville in the later time. After 10 minutes, the opponent's center took the ball like a bulldozer, knocked him down abruptly, and scored again.

Beckham couldn't imagine putting Gary Neville in the Premier League, how the opponent would arrange him, just thinking about it makes him sweat.

　A new day has begun, which means you have another recommendation ticket~~
