Chapter 89 "The King" Shows His Power

Seeing that McManaman's defense is not willing to engage in physical confrontation at all, Beckham has a score in his heart.

I have seen someone who defends water, but I have never seen someone who defends so water.

This is the first time he played in the Premier League against an opponent who neither intercepted himself to stop the ball, but also allowed himself to turn around calmly.

He remembers the first time this season when he got the ball with his back, the Aston Villa opponent almost pushed him out of the touchline.

That's great, all these things that can't be done in ordinary times were all done at the Double Red Meeting.

Could it be that this buddy has some kind of cleanliness, so he is unwilling to touch the offensive players when defending, or he feels that he has no breakthrough ability?
Try it, and then you'll know.

Beckham made a gesture to make a long pass, and McManaman rushed forward immediately.

It turned out that he really thought that he would not break through and could only pass the ball, so he kept a "safe distance".

Who do you look down on?
Beckham withdrew his right leg and pretended to break through with the ball to the right. McManaman immediately pounced on it.

Hehe, this buddy is nothing more than that!

Beckham complained in his heart, but his feet were not slow. His right leg bypassed the football, the center of gravity of his body tilted to the right, and his left foot took advantage of the opportunity to push the football to the left.

McManaman was blown away!
This move is the poor man's version of the pendulum dribble, which he learned from Ronaldo.

In the friendly match between England and Brazil, this round-inch big die used continuous, fast, and surprisingly large pendulum-style dribbles to almost vomit Adams, who has always been known for his frontal defensive ability.

Beckham had practiced during training, and he could only circle two or three times in a row, and the range was not comparable to Ronaldo, but it was enough to deal with a poor defensive player like McManaman.

After he passed McManaman, a ten-meter corridor appeared in front of him immediately, so he accelerated to dribble, and McManaman ran a few steps behind him without any effort before starting to walk.

Beckham robbed Barnes and stuffed the ball into the middle. Cantona, who seemed dispensable in the crowd just now, suddenly rushed out of the penalty area and stuck the Liverpool defender Martin Wright behind him.

The Liverpool central defender squeezed Cantona with his upper body, while provoking the opponent dirtyly, and waited for the opponent to throw an elbow to hit him.

In this case, not to mention swinging the elbow, the attack can be declared over by raising the arm a little more.

Cantona turned a deaf ear to Martin Wright's provocation, and moved laterally while resisting the opponent.

Cantona, who has not participated in an official competition for 9 months, does not seem to have very tight muscles, and the flesh on his face will tremble when touched by someone, just like Kung Fu Panda.

While resisting the squeeze of the central defender, he moved to the right and looked at Beckham who came from the wing to meet him.

When all the Liverpool players were focusing on Beckham, Cantona suddenly used the outer instep of his right foot to shift the football to the right side of the body, which is the left side of the team.

Martin Wright was not McManaman. Although the opponent took the opportunity, he still took three steps and two steps to catch up with Cantona.

"Eric can't run anymore, he should move the ball out now. Good shot! Eric stuffed the ball into the penalty area, Ryan Giggs got the ball before the defenders, he was tackled, the referee Eller Ray whistled, penalty kick!"

"Yeah!!!" Seeing the referee pointing his finger at the penalty spot, nearly 7 people in the stadium erupted. Giggs, who was lying on the ground, raised his fist excitedly. This time, he succeeded in stealing home again.

The ball was amazing just now, let's take a look at the slow motion playback! "

As Martin Taylor, who has nearly 20 years of experience as a football commentator, it is commonplace to be slapped in the face when commentating, but the sudden pass of the ball into the penalty area by Cantona just now still made his thoughts a little incoherent.

To be honest, he didn't see how the Frenchman passed the ball into the penalty area just now.

"Let's look at the replay. Eric suddenly turned around and dribbled the ball to the left. During Martin Taylor's running, he stuffed the ball into the penalty area from between the opponent's legs. Ryan understood.

If this penalty can be scored, the two sides will return to the same starting line. "

The TV screen switched back to the field, and Cantona walked to the penalty spot with the football under his left arm.

He put the ball on the penalty spot, stepped back a few meters, and waited for the referee's whistle with his head held high.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Cantona looked into David James' eyes while running up.

"Eric ran up, took the kick, and the ball scored! He successfully tricked the Liverpool goalkeeper and tied the score. This goal is really crucial. He used his personal ability to create a valuable penalty for the team. He personally scored the ball. This goal is worth a lot, Eric is great!

We can't forget David's beautiful escape before. It was he who got rid of the defenders and had Eric's wonderful performance behind him.

It was a weird dribble, and I bet this young man had never used it before.

It seems that he only learned it recently. I have to say, it's good to be young! "

Manchester United equalized the score in the 71st minute, and the score became 2-2. After the goal, the Old Trafford stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​joy, and the fans began to sing the names of Manchester United players repeatedly.

After scoring the goal, the Manchester United players were full of energy, while the Liverpool team was also full of resilience. The two fighting teams suddenly launched a collision like sparks hitting the earth, and the intensity of the field suddenly rose to a level.

At this time, even McManaman began to defend closely. If the players on both sides dare not pass the ball, the next second will definitely usher in a ruthless impact.

After the players focused on taking the ball with one kick, the speed of offensive and defensive transitions on the field suddenly accelerated.

In the 77th minute, Beckham passed McManaman and suddenly made a cross. Liverpool's central defender made a mistake in making a clearance. Giggs, who outflanked the goal, took a shot. Unfortunately, the shot was too weak and was saved by David James.

In the 83rd minute, Robbie Fowler first passed the ball to Gary Neville from the left, then dunked Bruce, waited for the defenders to draw their attention to himself, and then made a pass. Yi, who had just come off the bench, Ern Rush didn't kick the ball against an empty goal and missed the lore opportunity.

After 85 minutes of the game, Liverpool's physical fitness plummeted.

Manchester United's Cantona is not good either. He needs to charge for 3 minutes to sprint for two or three seconds, but Gary Neville and Beckham's running ability is still strong, blowing up Liverpool's left flank.

Not only on the left, but their right back was also dying in Giggs' misfortune. Manchester United showed everyone what it means to fly on both wings.

Roy Evans was forced to replace McManaman, and it was still difficult to reverse the decline.

Manchester United next began to perform crosses from the wing and long-range shots from the center around Liverpool, while the Liverpool team, who came from afar, gritted their teeth and must not lose the ball again.

When the fourth official signaled 3 minutes of stoppage time for the whole game, Liverpool replaced right winger Thompson in the matchup, and they were still a little bit desperate.

In the 92nd minute, Manchester United won a corner kick from the left, and Beckham hurried towards the left corner flagpole.

Giggs ran over to his ear and asked, "Do you need to cooperate?"

Giggs' question gave Beckham a sudden idea. He whispered to his teammates before running to the corner flagpole.

He flung his arms up, stepped back some distance, and started to run.

The Liverpool players have studied Manchester United's tactics. Beckham's gesture indicates that the corner kick will be pointed backward. The players of the two teams will not collide in the penalty area.
