Manchester United legend

Chapter 212 Breaking
The media began to hype the contradiction between Ferguson drinking Beckham. In the subsequent pre-match interview, Ferguson did not make too many explanations, "Yes, Beckham did not complete the training, just like what you saw. But I will not express my opinion on the Leeds game."

"Are you planning to abandon Beckham?" The reporters asked for confirmation.

"I will use the best players who train with all their strength. I will choose players who put their heart and soul into the team and try their best to win for the team. By Sunday you will have the answer. No matter what, we will show the best form to face Leeds."

Ferguson's reply was like a bomb at the time, "I have nothing to say about Beckham".

"Beckham will be excluded from the first round of the top game!", "Beckham will no longer be favored", "Beckham will be exiled by Ferguson!", "Father and son break up, grievances and hatred!"... The media who made the hot spots were afraid that the fans watching the excitement would not be a big deal, and immediately hyped up the turmoil at the training ground.

Subsequent developments confirmed the concerns of Manchester United fans: in Sunday's game, Ferguson did not put Beckham in the squad, and the heartthrob could only watch the game from the stands, quietly watching his teammates fight hard on the field.

Despite a narrow 1-0 victory over Leeds and a six-point lead, none of the United fans were too happy. They sensed a huge storm was brewing at the club, and there was serious discord in the dressing room: it was the first time Beckham had been sent off without injury.

The good media once again added fuel to the fire, "Can Manchester United not need Beckham now?"

Ferguson's answer made the Red Devils fans terrified: "Manchester United will never be a team of a certain player. We don't need to discuss who is not playing."

Everyone knows that there are conflicts between Ferguson and Beckham, and there are cracks in the previously extremely harmonious relationship.

Many years later, we learned that the contradictions and conflicts between Ferguson and Beckham had been rooted a long time ago. The reason was that Beckham and Ferguson had differences in football concepts, as well as differences in career planning and goals.The most obvious sign of disagreement is the love and marriage between Beckham and Victoria.

In Ferguson's view, Beckham is like Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville and other players, just like his own son.

Ferguson placed a lot of expectations on Beckham and believed that he could become a world superstar.

However, after Beckham became a "heartbeat", Ferguson felt that the former "good baby" who was extremely obedient and obedient to himself, and devoted himself to training and competitions had changed.

Ferguson later recalled, "Beckham is the only player among all the players I coach who wants to be famous. He wants to be famous in fields other than football."

Ferguson feels that Beckham can no longer concentrate on football, and he can no longer find his goals in football wholeheartedly.

The huge success of Manchester United in 1999 not only allowed Ferguson to enjoy enough glory, but in some respects this year was even more "The Year of Beckham".

The halo of the Triple Crown, the wedding with Victoria, the World Footballer Silver Globe Award, the best team in the world, the best player in England, the honor of the Queen of England... Countless honors and praises have lifted Beckham to the sky, while the endless stream of advertising sponsorships has dazzled Beckham.

Beckham began to enter the fashion and entertainment circles from the football world, and he began to become a cross-border star.

"I was very sad and disappointed to see him distracted from things other than football.

Watching him have time to attend various social occasions instead of studying the game makes me feel irreparable.

Without a hunch, I already knew that Beckham would be eaten by the media and advertisers. "

Ferguson said in his autobiography many years later, "Beckham used to be very good and had brilliant seasons, but those have slowly disappeared. He gave up the possibility of becoming a Uranus superstar and chose a special path. In my opinion, after 1999, he has never reached my hope and never reached the standard of an 'absolute superstar'. For this reason, I am disappointed, deeply disappointed."

But at that time, Beckham, who was in the limelight, was enjoying his best time. He didn't feel that he would lose anything. On the contrary, he felt that everything would become better and he would move towards greater success.

If it weren't for Ferguson's interference, Beckham would even try to show off during training and competitions, grabbing the spotlight and flashlights of the media, making himself appear on the headlines of the media day after day.

Commercial activities took up too much of Beckham's time, which aroused Ferguson's dissatisfaction.The conflict between the two is brewing in different events and links.

Until Beckham was absent from training this time and was excluded from the game list by Ferguson, fans and the media felt that conflicts began to arouse.

Ferguson couldn't accept Beckham's absence from training without asking for leave. He thought that Beckham was "probably" pulled by the media or advertisers to do commercial activities, which naturally made him furious.In fact, Beckham has other difficulties.

Beckham was interviewed by the media on Sunday after the game.He said that because his son Brooklyn fell ill with a cold last Friday morning, he did not participate in Manchester United's training.At the time he had to stay home and look after Brooklyn.

The "Sun", which has been squatting at Beckham's mansion, reported that the heartthrob was indeed taking care of his son rather than participating in any business activities.

Reporters saw Beckham and his wife Victoria frantically calling doctors in the early hours of Friday when their 11-month-old son Brooklyn was running a high fever and struggling to breathe.

Beckham does not want to break with Ferguson.He said through his spokesman: "Since Beckham joined Manchester United, he has only missed three training sessions. He did not participate in training on Friday because Brooklyn had a cold and he had to stay at home to take care of him. This definitely does not mean that the conflict between him and Ferguson has intensified. It is just a misunderstanding.

Playing for Manchester United is something he has wanted to do since he was four years old and he will never leave Manchester United. "

Even so, the media still made a big fuss, frantically hyping the contradiction between Beckham and Ferguson.

Fans have had to speculate anxiously as to whether Beckham will leave United.

The good media even launched an investigation, and the gambling company also launched a bet, "Will Beckham leave the team because Ferguson's too strict requirements conflict with his lifestyle? His relationship with Ferguson is currently on the verge of collapse?"
