Chapter 14 The Finals Begin

Manchester United youth team coach Harrison began to arrange tactics: "Guys, remember our tactics, that is to base ourselves on defense. In attack, we must fly on both wings and try to pass the ball to Beckham and Gillespie on the wing. Giggs on the forward line You have to hide behind McGee and don't be entangled by the opponent's defender Carragher. Fowler, he has played for the first team like Giggs, he has a good sense of smell in the penalty area, don't let him find opportunities, he can shoot with both feet, you must pay attention to it. He is a natural shooter and very dangerous."

Well, finally let us shout out our slogan, Harrison stood in the middle, all the players surrounded him, Harrison shouted: "1, 2, 3 Manchester United".All the players shouted: "We must win."Everyone was infected by this majestic momentum.

Jost was also infected by this momentum. He wanted to play very much, but he was just a substitute. He really wanted to help the team. For the first time, he felt like home here, and all the players were his own family.

Liverpool locker room. The atmosphere in the locker room was relaxed. Fowler and his good friend McManaman were chatting and betting. Fowler bet on whether he would score a goal today. Youth team coach Robert came in. He shouted: "Gentlemen, be quiet. I want to arrange the final tactics." Like Fowler, he has already represented the first team. He is placed on the front line. Carragher, keep an eye on him. He is very fast. Don't get too close to him. Midfielder Redknapp, you and McManaman should pay attention to Scholes's through ball. You can attack his area properly and use his thin body to break through him. Fowler, you can use speed to break through the opponent's central defenders. Their defenders are not particularly fast. Fowler is the core of our game. Pass him if you have the opportunity. Cup back to Liverpool."

The referee went to the locker room to inform the players on both sides to prepare to play.Manchester United and Liverpool's home jerseys are both red, so a lottery is drawn to determine who is the home and away team. Manchester United was lucky to draw the home team's lottery. They wore red jerseys during the game, and Liverpool wore the away team's white jersey.

Players from the two teams began to enter the arena, and the British BBC TV broadcast live, and sent their two ace commentators Martin Taylor and Alan Hansen over.Fans of Manchester United and Liverpool were wearing their respective home jerseys, and the scene was a sea of ​​red, which is why the game between the two teams is called the "Double Red Club".

After the commentator finished reading the Liverpool team's playing list, he began to read the Manchester United team's playing list. The goalkeeper Pilkington, the four defenders are Sweizer, Gary Neville, Casper, and Phil Neville.

The captains of both sides guess the coin in the referee's hand, and then kick-off.Manchester United took the lead.Manchester United Ferguson and Sir Busby sat in the stands, and Liverpool manager Souness also came to the scene to cheer on his lads.

The game started with the whistle of the referee. Players from both sides came and went. Liverpool, led by McManaman and Redknapp, were very active.

In the 15th minute, Liverpool seized the opportunity of Manchester United's corner kick to counterattack quickly.Manchester United took a corner kick, the first point was grabbed by Carragher, and the ball was taken by Redknapp. He quickly dribbled the ball back and quickly formed a 3-on-3 situation in the frontcourt.Fowler and McManaman quickly moved to the two sides, pulling the opponent's full-backs and opening up space for Redknapp to break through and pass the ball. Manchester United had only two full-backs left, Phil Neville, Sweizer, and midfielder Okahn. The two full-backs stared at Fowler and McManaman on the wing.

He was about to fall near the top of the arc of the penalty area, Okahn knew that he could not retreat, he stood in his position and prepared to go up, Redknapp aimed at the middle of Okahn's legs, kicked the ball out, the ball was kicked from between Okahn's legs, passed a through ball, Fowler on the wing quickly threw away Phil Neville and crossed over.Fowler got the ball and formed a one-on-one with goalkeeper Pilkington. The goalkeeper Pilkington quickly attacked to try to block or narrow the angle of Fowler's shot. Fowler did not take the ball forward. He stopped the ball and observed the goalkeeper's position.After rubbing the bottom of the ball with his feet, the ball quickly bypassed the top of the goalkeeper's head and fell into the net.

Liverpool lead 1-0.The Manchester United fans fell silent, while the Liverpool fans cheered, yelling "See you Manchester United rubbish, we are the real Red Devils, go home and cry in your mother's arms.

The game restarted, Liverpool scored a goal and became very imposing, Manchester United was hit by a counterattack and scored a goal, which was a bit chaotic.Liverpool's offense is tightly organized under the combing of the midfielder Redknapp.Manchester United made matters worse in the No. 20 minute. The defensive midfielder Okahn fought with McManaman again, and his thigh muscle strain could not last the game.

On the Manchester United coaching bench, coach Harrison saw the team doctor Frank on the field and signaled him to make a substitution.He knew that Okahn couldn't hold on to the game.Harrison looked at the only defensive player on the bench, Jost. He didn't expect his plan to be disrupted.Now put on an offensive player and if the opponent scores a goal, then the game is over. Now it is better to defend first, and don't concede a goal.

He looked at Jost on the bench and shouted, "Jost goes to the sidelines to warm up." Jost watched the game on the sidelines, and he was anxious for his teammates on the field. When he saw his teammate Okahn was injured and coach Harrison called his name, he knew his chance had come.

Coach Harrison said to Jost, "Can I trust you?"

Jost: "Coach, I will do my best." Before Jost finished speaking, Harrison interrupted Jost and said, "Don't tell me this, I just ask you, can I trust you?"

Jost: "Trust me!"

Harrison: "Okay, listen to me, kid, don't go up and think about it, just play as usual in training, your task is to defend, see the opponent's No. 10 player?"

Jost: "I see!"

Harrison: "He is the core of the opponent's midfield. Now he is actively going up to stare at him. Let me tell him to be honest. Let him reduce the catch, force him into the corner, don't let him take the ball calmly, if he passes you, he can foul when necessary. Now we are in trouble, I hope you can help us, let them see you! Go!"

After finishing speaking, Harrison patted Jost on the buttocks. Jost took off his sports jacket to reveal the Manchester United jersey inside. He started his Manchester United career wearing the No. 25 jersey.
