Chapter 459 Goals and Undefeated

As the league draws closer, Beckham puts all his energy into training.

Last season, Manchester United won the League Championship, the FA Cup and the Champions League at the same time, and also won Vasco da Gama in the duel between European and American champion clubs, which can be called the top of the world.

Due to the near-perfect performance last season, any mistakes this season will give everyone a feeling of regress, and everyone is under a lot of pressure.

Beckham can fully imagine the media's attitude towards him. He has been busy during the offseason, making movies, promoting movies, acting as the spokesperson for the American Major League, and finally becoming the chairman of the Los Angeles Galaxy.

The most important thing is that the chairman's shares are exchanged for endorsement fees, and he does have the right to speak.

Now except for matters related to money, other matters are discussed by Musk, Lloyd and the head coach of the team. He basically does not interfere, and has no energy to interfere, as long as he does not mess around.

Since Beckham bought Donovan from the Leverkusen reserve team for 50 yuan, Musk never dared to mess around with the transfer issue.

Seeing Donovan's performance, he has realized how low the price-performance ratio of the fellow South African he bought for 600 million yuan.

But Beckham still specifically told the team's head coach that such players bought at a huge price must be used more often, and they must not be left cold.

Maybe Musk bought McCarthy under the banner of Manchester United, but the other party will definitely not stay in the United States for a long time.

When he realized that he was still [-] kilometers away from Manchester United, going to Europe became an inevitable choice.

This kind of player should be used constantly, and he must not be left out in the abuse game. We have to learn from Wenger in this regard.

Beckham knows very well that tens of thousands of eyes are watching his every move. As long as his performance fluctuates, the label of "not doing business properly" must be put on.

With such a toss in the summer, everyone has paid attention to Beckham's commercial value, and everyone knows that he is rich.

No matter when and where, rich people will receive more attention and even criticism.

Who made you rich!

The pressure is the pressure, but Beckham has a clear conscience about his main business. He started recovery training two weeks before the summer training camp. The intensity was higher than that of the previous seasons, in order to immediately show his state at the beginning of the season.

Manchester United did not spend much in the summer transfer period. They only introduced Van der Sar from Ajax and bought Sylvester, who can play both central defender and full-back.

Shevchenko is also a rookie, but he was a signing last season. Even if he didn't train with Manchester United for a day, he can only be considered a return on loan.

Although the vacancies of Schmeichel and Shearer have been filled in time, the team still needs to run in.

It didn't take much effort for Manchester United to play Newcastle in the Charity Shield, but everyone in this kind of competition focuses on training, and the fight is not particularly hard.

But the league is much more important than this kind of friendly match. Manchester United's triple crown last season can deter many opponents and make more opponents eager to win from them.

The reason is simple. Winning the championship can prove the value of the club and players to a great extent. Many opponents need to show their muscles to the world in such games.

Everton is such a team. They have a tough style and also have the ability to pass and control. They are notoriously tough in the Premier League.

It's not easy even for Manchester United to get three points from them. This team has been playing overall football and the team morale has been good.

In the first round of the league, Manchester United played away against Everton. The opponent was very tenacious and scored a goal first.

Manchester United immediately fought back, with Yorke equalizing the score and gaining the upper hand in the ensuing game.

But Everton, who played at home, was very tenacious and blocked Manchester United's last-minute attack. The two teams finally shook hands and made a draw.

The first round of the league did not usher in a good start, and Manchester United's performance immediately aroused everyone's discussion.

Some people think that Shevchenko is less interesting than Shearer, Van der Sar seems not as stable as Schmeichel, some people think that the Manchester United team is not in good shape, and some people even think that Manchester United players have finally suffered because of their arrogance.

The comments from the media did not affect the Manchester United team much. Everyone is someone who has seen the world, and it is impossible to mess up just because of a draw.

But not caring doesn't mean not taking it seriously, if that is true arrogance.

The whole team practiced very hard in the next week, and must seize the opportunity of one game a week at the beginning of the season to score more points.

In the second round, Manchester United easily won Sheffield Wednesday 2-4 at home.

Beckham's free kick opened the scoring for the team. At this time, the stadium suddenly heard the voice of the host: "Congratulations to David for scoring his 100th official game for Manchester United!"

Hearing the sound of the radio, the fans in the audience stood up and applauded collectively.

Faced with this news, Beckham felt very sudden.

To be honest, he didn't count his goals carefully.

But he knows what 100 goals means. He didn't expect that he has played for the club for so many years. Time flies!
In the following game, Sheffield Wednesday did not have a decent resistance, and Manchester United successfully won their first victory of the season.

This game also allowed Manchester United to create a 50-unbeaten record in the Premier League. Since losing at home to Sheffield Wednesday in the 1997-1998 season, Manchester United has not lost in the subsequent leagues.

Amidst the enthusiasm of the media, Manchester United defeated the limelight Leeds United 3-2 in the third round of the league. Beckham once again contributed a goal. This goal came from a counterattack score after the team took the lead.

In the fourth round of the league, Manchester United beat rivals Arsenal 4-2 in an away game. Beckham scored in three consecutive games, and he scored another free kick against Seaman.

Compared with last season, Arsenal's spirits seem to be not too high. They performed very well last season, but in the end they were all close to the championship.

Such a result is very hurtful, and the state of the players in the new season has fully demonstrated their mental state.

They need to adjust to get back to form.

In the fifth round of the league, Manchester United defeated Coventry in an away game. Giggs and Keane's goals sealed the victory for the team, and Beckham's assist made the Welshman a return to the air bomber.

Immediately after the international match day, the England team, which had already touched the Swedish team twice, basically locked in the place to appear.

英格兰队目前以5胜1平的成绩排名小组第一，紧随其后的是4胜1平1负的瑞典队。

There are two games left in England's qualifiers, and their opponents are Luxembourg and Poland, neither of which is a strong team.

Not surprisingly, the team successfully won two consecutive victories, and qualified for the final stage of the European Cup to be held in the Netherlands and Belgium next year as the first in the group.

The Swedish team will have to fight for a spot through the play-offs.

The process of the game was uneventful, and there was not much to pay attention to.

The only bright spot was that in the game against Luxembourg, the opponent's players took every opportunity to chat with Beckham, which kept the atmosphere of the game constant.

At the end of the game, there were even three players rushing to exchange jerseys with Beckham. The scene was particularly embarrassing.

The English media talked about this spectacle, never expecting that the heartthrob has extended its influence to the players.
