Manchester United legend

Chapter 186 Salvation in Redemption

The Triple Crown this season is of special significance to Beckham.

Manchester United's almost unrepeatable great success this season is not only his glory, but also a perfect witness of his completion of self-salvation.

When Beckham scored the super lob against Wimbledon, he immediately became the darling of England fans with his handsome and sunny appearance and youthful image.

And after the media revealed that he was in love with Victoria, a member of the famous British girl band "Spice Girls", the combination of "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" quickly occupied the entertainment section of the media, and they also became the most eye-catching pair of stars in the UK.

Of course, under his fame, his every move has also been focused, observed under a microscope by the media, and discussed by fans and fans.

The summer in France in 1998 was brutal for Beckham, who went from being the favorite of the heavens to the public enemy of England overnight.

Unable to restrain his stupid response to Simeone's provocation, Beckham was sent off with a red card, and England was eliminated by arch-rival Argentina.

Cursing, anger and attacks from the fans flooded the entire English football scene in an instant. Some extreme fans even hung a doll with Beckham's name and wearing a Beckham jersey on the balcony with a noose. What was even more terrifying was that some extreme fans sent Beckham "two bullets"!
In that summer, except for the Red Devils diehards and his own personal fans, almost all England fans hated Beckham.

Even the police advised Beckham not to go out alone, it is best to let his parents accompany him to Manchester for training.

The police believed that it was not safe for Beckham to stay alone in Vosler's house, and it was even more likely that he would encounter crazy fans and cause accidents when driving alone.

With the support and encouragement of his lover and mentor, Beckham, who was in adversity, firmly established himself in Manchester United, and used the whole summer preparation period to train hard to continue to improve his ability.

He did not issue a statement, nor did he plan to say anything bold at the press conference. He is determined to wash away the unprovoked insults imposed on him through his own efforts and performance on the court. He wants to complete redemption and conquest here!
This season, Beckham's avant-garde skills have gradually improved to the peak.He has the running ability passed down from British players, extremely strong physical strength and extremely high placement rate.

What is different from England players is that he has unique skills and a unique right foot.

His right foot can play both precise passes and wonderful free kicks, and there is no doubt that their line and landing point follow Beckham's heart.

It can be said bluntly that even if the opponent is fully aware of Beckham's technical characteristics, there is no better way to restrict him, let alone stare him down.

Another unimaginable thing is that Beckham has performed well throughout the season, with almost no downturn moments.From scoring two goals in the first game of the Premier League to help Manchester United tie Leicester City to win the best of the game, to the final stoppage time of the last Champions League final of the season when they fell behind 0 to 1, Beckham sent two consecutive corner kicks to help Manchester United finally reversed. Beckham's performance has always been stable, and he is indispensable in Manchester United.

Beckham continued his outstanding performance throughout the season, and he maintained almost full attendance in the Manchester United team.

In the Premier League, in the FA Cup, in the Champions League, Manchester United has always played in various battlefields.He breaks down the right, he crosses from the right, he takes corners, he goes in through the half, he shoots hard, he comes back in time, he tackles the ball... he's everywhere on the pitch.

Of course, it cannot be forgotten that he still has powerful weapons and skills, that is, a powerful and irresistible free kick!
Beckham's passing skills were absolutely superb in the Premier League at the time.

His passing can lead Manchester United's attack line to launch a non-stop attack.

His passing was genie-like in finding the Black Winds, Solskjaer and Sheringham, Scholes and Giggs.

Passes spanning distances of 20, 30, 40, 50 or even 70 yards were long and curved, with just the right timing, power and spin, and United's attackers just needed to find their position, stretch their feet or head them into the opponent's goal.

King of assists!

Passing the ball is just a wedding dress for people, and it is Beckham's free kick that dazzles the fans even more.

Those fouls within 45 yards of the goal are almost like penalty kicks for fouls in the penalty area for Manchester United opponents.

This season, Beckham scored more free kicks than many forwards!Whatever the situation, Beckham can turn free kicks into goals and corners into assists!

For fans, enjoying Beckham's free kick performance in the game, except that it is not so precious because of its frequent appearance, it can be said to be a joyful experience of body and mind.

Set up the ball, meditate on the line, ignore the wall in front of you, look at the opponent's goalkeeper, start, run up, and the supporting foot is very close to the ball. The inner side of the right foot touches the ball at high speed to initiate friction.

As a result, free kicks marked with the "Bezier arc" signboard will appear one by one.The ball seemed to be enchanted, drawing a large or small arc, and quickly flew towards the opponent's goal.

In many cases, such a curve ball is beyond the goalkeeper's understanding, beyond their saving range, and flies into the corner of the gate without hindrance!
King of Free Kicks!
Even off the right, even in the middle of the midfield, Beckham worked hard to take on the burden and help his team beat their opponents.

This season, Beckham was not placed in the middle by Ferguson in the last Champions League final. In fact, he has tried to play this position many times.

In the home game of Manchester United against Wimbledon 5-1 in the league, Beckham showed a different comprehensive ability in the middle. He first used a precise through ball in the middle to get an assist, letting people know that he is not just a scimitar.

Even if it is limited to physical confrontation, lack of awareness of block defense and supplementary defense, lack of predictability in offensive command, and difficulty in sorting out the midfield efficiently and concisely, Beckham still uses ultra-long-distance running, Never give up hard work and super precise passing contribute to Manchester United's offense and defense.

Although his performance in the Champions League final was not the best, let's not forget his last effort-two goals that eventually turned Bayern's attack came from two corner kicks by Beckham!

Even when he learned that his wife Victoria was about to give birth, he still performed steadily and performed well in the game against Inter Milan.

Even if the opponent has his own "enemy" Simeone, he has dealt with the old grievances between the two with a calm and almost cold attitude-or the best revenge for Beckham is to eliminate the opponent through a wonderful performance, indeed he did it!

We can't forget that in this year's Champions League, Beckham and Simeone met again.

Manchester United's game against Inter Milan made the media focus on Beckham and Simeone.

Facing the former enemy, Beckham shook hands with Simeone before the start of the game, and overwhelmed his opponent with outstanding performance after the start of the game: No fouls, no conspiracy, Beckham used a wonderful performance to help Manchester United beat the opponent 2-0. Those conspiracies look so ridiculous.

Even if he is competing with the best midfielder in the world, Beckham will not be timid to surrender, let alone be suppressed by his opponent.He tried his best to fight and defeat his opponent.

The outstanding midfielders that Beckham encountered in the past year are like crucian carp in the river, from Rivaldo to Zidane, from Ljungberg to Simeone, from Vieira to Davis, as well as Figo, Overmars, McMaraman... Beckham can all shine in his own area, help the team crush opponents, and advance victoriously.Fans will remember the wonderful first match between Manchester United and Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Even if the opponents had superstars such as Figo and Rivaldo, Beckham was still dazzling and aggressive: in that game, Manchester United’s three goals were all related to Beckham. After the tie, Beckham's free kick in front of the penalty area once again showed his super power.

That amazing arc crossed the sky of Old Trafford, and the ball flew directly into Barcelona's net!
The entire season from the Community Shield lasted for more than 9 months. Beckham played almost all the games. He has always maintained an incomprehensible hard work, a strong fighting spirit, and a high level of performance.

Regardless of whether the opponent is Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Inter Milan or Bayern, or the domestic Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, no matter on which front, whether Manchester United wins or loses in the end, Beckham has tried his best, exhausted his physical fitness, and played his best level.

It can be said that there is no moment when he is not struggling, and there is no moment when he is not fighting!

Let us all remember those scenes that will never be forgotten. Beckham's running figure, precise passing, and wonderful free kicks have been accompanying Manchester United.

On May 1999, 5, in the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Tottenham Hotspur. It was Beckham's goal that helped Manchester United beat their opponents 16:2 and won the Super League championship trophy.

而在1999年5月23日，在温布利球场的足总杯决赛上曼联2:0战胜纽卡斯尔获得足总杯，贝克汉姆的表现同样精彩。

On May 1999, 5, in the Champions League final, Bayern Munich was close to the championship, but Beckham's two corner kicks planned Manchester United's magical reversal. In the end, Beckham and his Red Devils teammates stood at the top of the Champions League!

When Beckham struggled, when he struggled to start, fans who loved Manchester United could not ignore their hero. Although he was no longer the darling of the British Isles, Beckham was still the darling of Manchester United fans.

Manchester United fans began to clearly show their support for Beckham. They played banners and wore "Beckham, we love you!" T-shirts to declare their attitude.

From the first game of the league, from the first victory, from the first best match, Beckham bravely embarked on a journey of redemption and conquest.

Starting from Manchester United fans, then to the English football media; from England fans, to fans in continental Europe and all over the world, and then to fans of many rival teams...Through continuous efforts and stable and outstanding performances, Beckham gradually reversed the prejudice of the fans, changed the resentment of the fans, and won their support and understanding-Beckham completed the redemption!

From the All England Enemy with nothing to the champion of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, Beckham has completed the conquest of bad luck.

Not only the Triple Crown, Beckham has also won a lot of personal honors: the best in the Premier League, the best team in the Champions League, the best team in Europe, World Footballer No.2 (No.1 is Rivaldo in the Barcelona team eliminated by his Manchester United in the Champions League)...

Relying on his own efforts, he rose from the abyss to the pinnacle of the world again.
