Manchester United legend

Chapter 204
After defeating Liverpool, Manchester United's game task is the Champions League group stage.Manchester United is considered to have drawn a good lottery.

This season's Champions League Manchester United are divided into Group D, with Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb, France's Marseille and Austria's Sturm Graz.

Manchester United host Dinamo Zagreb in the first Champions League game.

At this point in time, there were serious injuries in Manchester United's formation, and there were many injuries, and the strength of the team was seriously dragged down.

Players such as Jost, Irvine, Butt, Johansen, Gary Neville, and Brown were all absent due to injuries before the game. The newly joined Taibi and Sylvester were unable to play before the registration deadline.

Ferguson had to send a number of youth players and some substitute players.Craig and Wilson got the chance to start, and Fortune was also able to come off the bench.

The head coach of Dinamo Zagreb claimed before the game that they wanted to play against Manchester United, but in fact they adopted a thorough bus strategy.

Manchester United didn't have much to do when they encountered such an iron tortoise. Beckham and Giggs couldn't break through the defense line. The two wings were not a big threat when the opponent was tightly shrunk in the penalty area. Manchester United didn't create many shooting opportunities.

In the 38th minute, York's shot went past Zagreb goalkeeper Radić, but it was a hair's breadth away from the goal.

The first half became Manchester United's offensive performance. Manchester United resorted to various offensive methods, but they were all resolved by Dinamo Zagreb. After watching nine times, it was like a dog meeting a hedgehog.

In the second half, Cole got a second chance in the penalty area, but the opponent goalkeeper Radić stretched his leg to block the ball!

Manchester United's subsequent corner kick, Dutch defender Stam grabbed the position and headed the goal, but the ball also missed the goal.

The siege of Manchester United also once again caused a handball by the opponent's defender in the opponent's penalty area, but the referee let it go lightly and ignored the Manchester United player's request for a penalty kick.

After Sheringham, who came off the bench, wasted a chance to face the goalkeeper directly in the small penalty area, Manchester United had no choice but to be tied by their opponents.

Plagued by injuries, Manchester United played against Wimbledon at home after returning to the league. As a result, the Red Devils, who had high hopes before the game, were upset again.

Facing the guests who have only scored 6 points so far this season and have lost at Old Trafford for 7 consecutive years, Manchester United, with many main players absent, did not start smoothly. Although Ferguson sent the main goalkeeper Tyby and a strong defensive four-man team to start, the striker was even equipped with the trident Solskjaer, Yorke and Sheringham, but only Phil Neville made a temporary cameo as a defensive midfielder in the midfield.

Not only that, Manchester United suffered a serious blow in this game. Giggs was injured after only playing for 30 minutes. He may even have to rest for two months after straining his hamstring again.

Manchester United sits at home, but the lack of support and coverage in the midfield allows the opponent to easily organize the defense, and there is still room for entanglement with Manchester United in the midfield.

Manchester United, who had been unable to attack for a long time, conceded the goal first, and the opponent simply responded with a throw-in and passed it to the teammate who penetrated laterally.

Manchester United, who fell behind, replaced Sheringham to strengthen the attack, but the hero of the final equalizer was Cruyff, who rarely had a chance to play.

Manchester United launched an attack in the second half. Cruyff, who replaced Ryan Giggs, appeared at the top of the opponent's penalty area. He and his teammates made a simple two-two and then went straight into the penalty area.

It was Cruyff's first goal for Manchester United in 11 months!After the game, he was also praised by Ferguson, "Cruyff is our best player in this game. He has shown outstanding ability. I think he will continue to play next week."

Before this game, Ferguson had already rested Beckham, who had an ankle injury, and Giggs was folded in this game.

Manchester United will play away in the Champions League in the next game. Counting Jost and Butt on the injury list, almost the entire midfield line of Manchester United has injuries. The team's situation is not optimistic, and the atmosphere in the Red Devils camp suddenly became tense.

Ferguson responded to the doubts of the fans with a big victory.In the away game against Sturm Graz, Manchester United welcomed back Jost and Beckham. As a result, the Red Devils, who had all the main players, scored 3 goals from Cole, Jost and Yorke respectively, beating their opponents with a score of 3-0.

The game was won, but Ferguson did not relax. He had a lot of troubles: Jost was injured again, and the captain's knee injury was likely to miss him for a month; in addition, there was an undercurrent of "anti-Beckham" outside the stadium, which made Ferguson extra vigilant.Since the game against Leeds United was provoked by opponent fans, Beckham used hand gestures to fight back, until Beckham's suspected revenge after being viciously violated in this game, the tabloid media began to focus on "heartthrobs".

They are portraying Beckham as an "England bad guy", using some of his excessive behavior in recent games to make a fuss, and also declared that "the England Football Association will investigate Beckham".

The funny mirror said, "According to the senior people of the England Football Association, Beckham's recent behavior will ruin his football career if he is not controlled!"

Ferguson was furious about this, "The FA wants to investigate Beckham's behavior in the European Champions Cup? To issue a warning to Beckham's behavior?! Go to hell! No one from UEFA said that!"

Regarding the two fingers David Beckham extended to rival fans in the match between Manchester United and Leeds United on August 8, Ferguson said, "My suggestion is that the FA should regulate the behavior of fans as soon as possible, so as to prevent football from being shamed by their extremely uncivilized language."

Ferguson said, "Beckham has endured the provocations directed at him by rival fans, but no one will allow his wife and son to endure endless insults and attacks."

As for Beckham's suspected kicking revenge when he was tripped by his opponent when challenging Liverpool, and Beckham's fierce reaction in this game, Ferguson still stood by Beckham's side, "I didn't see any revenge from Beckham, and he didn't say anything when the referee was right in front of him. Even the opponent didn't have any supplementary complaints, so these accusations against Beckham don't exist."

"You are so frantic to destroy the best star in this country, what is it for?!"
