Chapter 432 Assists are about equal to the sum of teammates

On April 4th, Manchester United stood on the stadium again on the third day after defeating Sheffield Wednesday. They will challenge Leeds United away.

Leeds United is the last champion of the League One era. They took away the last championship before the establishment of the Premier League, and immediately withdrew from the championship competition after English football entered the Premier League era.

At this time, Leeds United set off the second wave of youth storms in the Premier League era. This wave of players can be compared with the first wave of youth storms of Manchester United and Liverpool.

Although their performance in the past two years has been unsatisfactory, they ushered in two head coaches Graham and O'Reilly who like to use newcomers.

The two promoted a group of star-studded young players one after another, and then bought Hasselbaink at the price of cabbage in the market. Leeds United is currently ranked fourth in the league.

As the protagonists of the "War of Roses", Manchester United and Leeds United regarded their opponents as sworn enemies for a period of time, wishing to rub each other on the ground as soon as they met.

However, due to the growing disparity between the status of the two clubs, the head coaches of Leeds United tended to be more rational. Ferguson wanted to stand up and ride on the Liverpool people. Recently, there was an extra Arsenal. He really couldn't spare time to manage Leeds United. The hostility between the two clubs has slightly weakened.

At least the two clubs can still benefit from each other in the transfer transaction, otherwise Cantona would not be able to come to Manchester United, and Manchester United would not be able to get rid of Lee Sharp.

Hasselbaink's explosive shot from outside the penalty area in the 15th minute made Schmeichel lose his temper at all. Relying on their good physical fitness, they held back their energy to fight Manchester United.

Seeing this wave of 21-year-old young men at Leeds United, Beckham was a little embarrassed to find that those 21-year-old days have become eternal memories.

Although he is only 24 years old, this feeling still makes him feel a little bit emotional.

In the past, the Manchester United team charged and ran away with their opponents like a rhinoceros, but now it is finally the young people's turn to play with themselves.

To be honest, Beckham did not take this group of young players seriously.

If these players appeared in 1995, they should be more competitive than Liverpool, but they should not be able to handle Newcastle at the time.

Moreover, the situation of young players now is different from when they first entered the first team. Today's young players have enjoyed commercial dividends from the beginning of their careers.

As long as one of them kicks out their worth, Leeds United will immediately extend the contract by improving their treatment.

At the age of 20, they may have a weekly salary of more than 1 pounds. The head coach of Leeds United, O'Reilly, has been waving a check and yelling at the young players: "Boys, show your abilities, the club can't treat you badly."

Even if the age difference between this group of players and Beckham is only 3 years, I'm afraid they can't understand the pain that Beckham and Gary Neville felt after losing their £1500 bonus because their team was eliminated in the UEFA Cup.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Manchester United won a free kick in a good position on the right side of the penalty area.

Beckham put the football on the lawn, and while stepping back, he observed Leeds United's tall, burly and fearless guys, and smiled again.

30 seconds later, when the football flew over the heads of the leaping Leeds United players, and then turned in the air and flew to the left of the goal, Beckham saw the surprised eyes of the little guys.

With my current level of free kicks, these guys probably won't be able to practice in another two lifetimes.

What is not good to do when you have money, why do you practice these boring things.

But that's exactly the nature of the problem.

Maybe money can motivate young players to grow, but it can also accelerate their withering.

Money can accelerate the growth of a team, but it may not necessarily increase the height of a club.

Only those collectives with lofty aspirations, lofty goals, and ambitions can continue to move towards their goals.

A team like Leeds United may be able to beat Manchester United to the top of the league once, but they are absolutely impossible to work hard day after day to surpass all opponents like Manchester United.

Later, neither team scored any more goals. Manchester United controlled the rhythm, but Leeds United players were very aggressive, and the two teams could only accept a draw.

Ferguson also praised Leeds United coach O'Reilly after the game: "Leeds United showed a very organized performance and maintained a fighting spirit from the beginning to the end, which is inseparable from David's efforts.

Excellent young players are very precious. If the club can also come up with effective team building strategies, they can become a traditional strong team.

I don't know their internal development plan yet, so I can't comment on their current operating model, but I wish them luck. "

Ferguson's weak points at the press conference became the epitome of Leeds United in this era.

From then on, as long as the media makes a documentary about Leeds United, these words of Ferguson's press conference must be included in the film.

Time and time again people were stunned to discover that Ferguson had hinted at them, only to be blinded by the momentum of the moment.

On the second day after the game, the "Sun" published the opinions of some shellfish fans: "David used goals to help the team avoid defeat, what do you say this time?
Do you think the goal is worthless because it wasn't a win? "

The opinions of the fans were actually written by Fat Nick himself. He knew that the media would use "David didn't bring victory to the team" as an excuse to put the words here in advance to disgust the opponent.

Sure enough, several media outlets discussed Beckham's performance from this perspective.

This kind of rhetoric seems a bit mentally retarded to real fans, but it can make Bei fans who don't know much about football powerless to refute.

"The Sun" waited in their routine, and then refuted the opponent's remarks from the point of view of the points situation and team morale.

We are all in the same business, so don't pretend to be innocent, block your way first, and see if you are embarrassing.

"The Sun" also summarized Beckham's season data. Beckham played a total of 49 games for Manchester United this season, contributing 23 goals and 47 assists.

Among them, he played 32 times in the league, scored 13 goals and 24 assists, and was only 3 assists away from tying the record of 27 assists created by McManaman in a single season.

Champions Cup 10 full attendance, 7 goals and 15 assists, the performance is close to perfection.

Toyota Cup 2 goals and 1 assist.

Played 5 times on behalf of the England team, with 3 goals and 4 assists.

His number of goals is comparable to that of York, he is the No.3 of the team, and his assists are almost equal to the sum of other teammates. This data is quite remarkable for a wide player.

In the same round, Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 6-1 away, reducing the gap to five points.

Seeing hope, Wenger took the initiative to attack, Ferguson fought back, and the coaches of the two teams began to tear each other apart.
