Chapter 53
Manchester United's opponent in the sixth round is the newly promoted Bolton team.

After a difficult schedule, Manchester United finally encountered a belly.

As a newly promoted team with no distinctive characteristics, they only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in the first five rounds of the league. The only victory came from the Blackburn team, which dared to lose.

According to media predictions, compared with last season, Manchester United, which lacks a large number of main players, should be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the standings at this time.

Then this game will evolve into a veritable pecking game.

It's a pity that Manchester United's performance far exceeded the expectations of the black fans. The young people under Ferguson's command adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League in just one game, and then played a wave of four consecutive victories.

What amazes the media is Ferguson's ability to turn decay into magic. He got rid of the crisis in just one month and led the team to the top of the Premier League again.

Compared with the first round of the league, the formation of the Manchester United coach is even more "crazy".

The trip to Russia resulted in the loss of Andy Cole and Roy Keane from the team's roster. These two unlucky guys were forced to enter the injured list because they stepped on the pit of the Volgograd Stadium and sprained their soft tissues.

Ferguson has sent players from Manchester United's youth academy to all positions in the midfield. The two starting forwards are Giggs and Scholes. This is the first time Giggs has started this season.

The four midfielders from left to right are Lee Sharp, Butt, Beckham and Cook.

The starting players in this area are the biggest highlight of Manchester United's game. Beckham was placed in the middle to replace Keane, and Cook, recommended by the youth team coach Harrison, started at the right midfielder position.

Poor brother, he still hasn't won the first round.

Before the game, Ferguson was specially interviewed and talked about his vigorous youth army.Ferguson said: "I have full confidence in the boys. We are all happy and inspired by the performance of the young players. These children are brave, fearless, full of energy and full of desire to win. They enjoy the joy of football and have shown determination, courage and talent to play for this high-standard club."

"Of course we will continue to use these youth players, they are worthy of the main starting position!" Against Bolton, Ferguson was even more daring. Because of Keane's injury, he moved Beckham to the central midfielder position, and the vacant right midfielder, Ferguson gave another young man a chance.

Cook, who just passed his 19th birthday, is the far right player in the famous "Class of 92" group photo.

The complete content of that photo should be Harrison and seven youth players. Time has passed, and when most media reprinted the photo, there were only six players left in the group photo.

Under the big waves, Cook, who did not play well at Manchester United, lost the qualification to appear in the photo in the end.

Ferguson has returned to his high-spirited state, and the story of him and Cruyff's mutual fans is still going on. Every time the two are interviewed, they will praise each other whenever they have the opportunity, and they do it very naturally, without any sense of disobedience.

The old man sat on the coach's bench and chatted with the fans behind him from time to time, looking like a Manchester United fan.

In this round of Manchester United sitting at Old Trafford, nearly 32000 fans cheered for the home team during the game.

"Glory, glory, Man United,

Glory, glory, Man United,

And the reds go marching on on on! "

The fans sang and clapped rhythmically, and the entire Old Trafford stadium became a sea of ​​red.

After four consecutive victories in the league, Old Trafford is happy again.

Originally thought that Ferguson's use of youth players at the beginning of the season was just an expedient measure, but he did not expect that after the five-discussion league, Manchester United had already ranked first.

Who said that you can't get anything from children?

After five league rounds, Manchester United fans can hold their heads up and pat their chests to cheer for their children.

Also ranked first in the league, Newcastle United spent a lot of money, while Manchester United's new aid all come from their own youth training. Every player is a diehard Manchester United fan, and they all continue the club's tradition.

If there were a public opinion poll now, I am afraid that 3 fans in the stadium would vote for Ferguson.

At the start of the game, Bolton, who kicked off the ball first, passed the ball directly to the right back, and the right back passed the ball long into the Manchester United penalty area without making any adjustments.

Beckham looked up at the football. He was already mentally prepared to fight hand-to-hand with his opponent at the beginning of the game. He didn't expect the opponent to play such a long pass without quality.

This is an interesting team, starting with an unrealistic long pass.

Bolton's center and Pallister huddled together, both struggling for the first spot.

Beckham ran towards the edge of the penalty area while observing the battle for the highest point between the two teams.

The center forward of the Bolton team is a seasoned guy. He and Pallister are entangled, and neither of them can take off.

And their other striker rushed towards the goal regardless of where he landed.

Just as Pallister and the Bolton center were locked in a stalemate, Schmeichel rushed up from the goal line to meet the ball. He jumped up and held the football firmly in his hands.

Seeing his goalkeeper defuse the opponent's attack so easily, there was immediate applause at Old Trafford.

"Peter, here!"

As soon as Schmeichel landed, he heard Beckham waving to him from the right side of the penalty area.

He immediately threw the ball and reminded loudly: "There are still 5 meters!"

Beckham glanced sideways, and a Bolton player was galloping towards him.

The home fans close to Manchester United's right stood up nervously, talking and reminding the young man.

With his back to the tackler, Beckham had to deal with the football in the air, and he had to ensure that he would not be successfully tackled by Bolton players.

If it was Roy Keane who was handling the ball now, there would be no problem at all, but everyone had no idea how this boy named David could handle it.

You must know that he has been playing on the wing before, and everyone has no idea what he can do in the central midfielder position.

If the ball is intercepted by the opponent, the next step is to face Schmeichel directly.

So seeing Beckham handle the ball, Manchester United fans were worried.

Some fans even shouted in dissatisfaction: "Idiot!"

The spearhead is directed at goalkeeper Schmeichel, why not choose a safe way, why let a young player passively face the press.

David is only 20 years old, and you Schmeichel is 32 years old, how can you still do such an unsafe thing!
Just when the fans were yelling and the emperor was not in a hurry, Beckham had already touched the ball.

He didn't stop the ball and passed the ball directly to Gary Neville on the wing.

The quality of the pass was surprisingly good, the football landed on the lawn and rolled towards Gary Neville, without rebounding, the speed was just right.

Seeing how beautiful Beckham touched the ball for the first time, the fans immediately applauded their children.

All the fans here are senior fans. They may not play football, but their eyes are very poisonous.

Don’t be afraid of ignorance, just be afraid of comparing goods. Looking at the Premier League, the pass can be as delicate as Beckham’s. On average, there are only one or two teams in the middle and upper reaches.

When the middle and lower reaches of the team encounter this kind of ball, they will either give the full back a bouncing pass, and the right back will use all their strength to get the ball to the frontcourt.Either the catcher kicks the ball directly behind the head, which is nothing to watch.

Beckham ran towards the touchline immediately after the pass, allowing Gary Neville at least three outlets.

The player who pressed him just now wanted to make a rash move towards Gary Neville, but the ball was passed so steadily, and the midfielder chose to pull to the side. Wouldn't he be making a fool of himself if he ran over foolishly?

So he turned halfway and ran towards Beckham.

Beckham saw him running towards him, and without looking at Gary Neville, he ran straight up the field.

Made this Bolton player a little stunned.

Am I that scary?This little white face scared me away when I saw it!
When he subconsciously glanced at the middle lane, he realized that his thoughts just now were so shaky.

Butt has thrown off the defender and ran out of the open.

Almost as soon as he ran out of space, Gary Neville's pass followed.

Butt didn't stop the ball either, and passed the ball directly to Beckham who was on the edge.

Bolton's left midfielder ran up at this time, but Lee Sharpe had already come up from the left, and played a wall-hitting two-for-one with Beckham.

The football returned to Beckham's feet again, he had enough time to adjust, and the left back was taken away by Cook.

When he saw the ginger-headed Scholes start to move forward along the arc, Beckham immediately kicked up.

The football drew an arc and flew towards the forward point. Scholes, who was still a sand sculpture just now, suddenly started and threw the Bolton defender behind him in an instant.

Almost at the same time he ran to the front point, Beckham's pass arrived as scheduled, Scholes tensed his instep, and suddenly pulled the football towards the goal.
