Chapter 467

Back at the club, Beckham threw himself into the preparations for the game.

With the start of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United has to continue the double-match mode for a long time.

In the first round of the group stage, Manchester United ushered in Croatia's Zagrob team at home. This team provided a lot of talent to the national team.Players such as Suker, Boban, and Prosineski who shined in the World Cup in France all come from this club.

This seemingly easy win made the stars of Manchester United try their best. The Croatian players have good physical fitness and delicate skills at their feet. Winning this kind of team is no easier than winning a Premier League game.

The game went on until the 77th minute before the winner was decided. Manchester United used a throw-in to score the winning goal. Gary Neville threw the ball all the way into the opponent's penalty area.

With this goal, Manchester United got a good start in the Champions League, but the head coach of Zagreb was still a little unconvinced after the game. They believed that the way Manchester United won was still a long pass, and their tactics were still outdated.

Ferguson quickly responded: "He forgot a premise when he said these words. These words usually come from the mouths of winners. If Manchester United's tactics are old, the losing team's tactics are not much better. Otherwise, why can't they win?

Is it the player difference?If he said that, then he admitted that his players are not as good as Manchester United players.If it were me, I would never do such a stupid thing.

With all due respect, for a club like Zagreb, the group stage is probably their limit, and all the games against Manchester United may be their most important game of the season.

But it's a different story here at Manchester United. We play almost 70 games a season and this game is just one of them.

Such an intensive game is not a small test for the coaching team and players, so we hope to win an opponent like Zagreb at the lowest possible cost.

I don't mean any disrespect, just being honest.

I hope he will respect Manchester United's results before speaking in the future, and we will discuss this issue when they are qualified to say these words. "

Faced with the doubts of the head coach of the Zagreb team, Ferguson didn't bother to go around in circles with the opponent, and directly slammed the opponent's head coach to the south wall with one speech.

In the past few seasons, Ferguson dared to say such things, let alone the head coach of Zagreb, even the English media would not spare him.

But the Triple Crown is definitely a feng shui ridge. Manchester United used their performance last season to get the qualification to overwhelm others.

In fact, Manchester United encountered no less difficulties this season than last season. Many teams simply put down their faces and played defensive counterattacks with Manchester United. It doesn't matter how ugly the scene is, as long as they can get the desired result.

But now Manchester United has truly stepped into the ranks of European giants clubs, and its influence is completely different from a few years ago.

Even if Manchester United is not playing well, many people will subconsciously think that they just encountered some minor problems. As long as they are adjusted, Manchester United is still the most powerful team in the Premier League.

Under such circumstances, it would be very unpleasant to forcibly pull the Manchester United team out for questioning, and it will not help sales in the slightest.

Since you can't get the benefits you want, what's the point of writing.

In the 8th round of the league, Manchester United met Wimbledon at home. The opponent lost several main players, and the strength of the supplementary players was also very ordinary. Currently ranked 16th, they are the favorites for relegation in the eyes of the media. They are destined to fight for relegation throughout the season.

The Wimbledon team kept 10 players in the half-court defensive interception from beginning to end, and players on the left took turns to charge Beckham.

Encountering this kind of defensive and tough team, any team will have a headache to deal with.

How to deal with the bus has always been a problem in the world. As long as the difference in strength between the two teams is less than two grades, the game will be very difficult to play.

Until the end of the game, Manchester United did not score and could only accept a draw.

After the first 8 rounds, Manchester United is still ranked first in the league, and the unbeaten record has continued to 56 games.

This draw did not affect everyone's mood. The biggest problem for the team now is that Shearer returns to Newcastle, and no one can replace him.

Shevchenko's level is online, and there is nothing to say about his work commitment, but he has not yet found the rhythm of the Premier League, and he has not formed a tacit understanding with his teammates. It is not fair to expect him to achieve the same efficiency as Shearer when he first came.

Shearer, who returned to Newcastle, broke a big news this round.

In Newcastle's last game against Chelsea, Gullit put Shearer and Duncan Ferguson on the bench together, and the conflict between the two sides became more public.

With such internal wear and tear in the team, it would be a bit of a story to win against Chelsea, so they lost without any suspense.Newcastle has 7 draw and 1 losses in the first 6 rounds, ranking 19th in the league.

In the history of the Premier League, the teams that can play such an "excellent" record in the first 7 rounds have all been relegated to the League One without exception. This pit is buried too deep.

The Newcastle fans have not given up yet. Almost all of England have given them a suspended death sentence. Many media even broadcast a feature film about Newcastle after 7 rounds of the league.

But Newcastle shocked the Premier League in this round. In the 8th round of the league, they defeated Sheffield Wednesday at the bottom of the league with a score of 8-0. Shearer scored 4 goals alone and staged a big four. Newcastle was like a different person.

After driving away Gullit, Newcastle finally showed their due level. They used 8 goals to prove that their level should not be in this position.

Gullit's failure once again proved the inability of the Dutch coach to control the locker room. They often distinguish between work and interpersonal relationships, and they walked out of the training base to cut off the connection with the players.

Facts have proved that even professional football needs to pay attention to interpersonal relationships. Anyway, in Beckham's impression, Ferguson is at the club every day, and it feels like the old man is rooted in Carrington.

Just go find him and he'll be in the office, ready to go into chat mode.

And he also knows the family members of Manchester United players, every time he has something to say with the players.

Beckham heard that Wenger is also like this. Apart from daily training and meetings, he keeps watching game videos in the office every day.

After the match with Wimbledon, Manchester United beat Graz 1-0 in Vienna.

Beckham got a call from Lloyd at the airport and learned that the Los Angeles Galaxy had won the Western Conference champions with a penalty shootout victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, and they would play D.C. United for the title a week later.

On the plane, Ferguson also specifically asked Beckham: "What is the date of the final?"

Beckham sat up straight and said, "The day after the match with Marseille."

Ferguson nodded: "Then you can go by plane the next morning. Since you are the chairman, you should be there in the final."

Beckham smiled and thanked: "Thank you boss."

After October, it's time to make the final announcement for "007: Black Sun Crisis".
