Red Rebels

592 Fate

On the number plate raised on the sidelines, Ferguson's first substitution was to replace No. 22 on the field with No. 9!

Cassell was a little surprised when he saw Ferguson's substitution, but if he thought about it carefully, it made sense.

Manchester United's No. 9 is French forward Saha, and No. 22 is right back O'Shea. O'Shea's performance in this game was actually not good. In the first half, he was beaten by Ronaldinho. O'Shea could do nothing. In the second half, his characteristics determined that he could not provide more help to the offensive side on the court.

Ferguson replaced O'Shea with Saha. This is a very obvious positive signal. Manchester United is going to strengthen their attack!

Seeing O'Shea and Saha hugging each other on the sidelines, the Frenchman ran onto the court, first came to Senna and Carrick, explained the coach's latest tactical arrangements, and then went directly to Rooney's side.

Soon, the Red Rebels made a mistake in a midfield pass, and Manchester United directly counterattacked. Saha became an arrow figure, standing at the front of the team. His responsibility is to become the fulcrum of the frontcourt attack. .

If you want to become the offensive fulcrum of the frontcourt, you don't have to be a tall and powerful man like Drogba. You can also be a purely technical forward like Saha.

"Saha is a striker with very comprehensive characteristics. He is mainly left-footed, but he is also good with his right foot. He is capable of heading and shooting, and his speed is not slow. But what Ferguson really values ​​​​about him is his ability. The ability to pick up the ball with his back and then turn around to play with an excellent kick is definitely a great addition to Manchester United's forward line."

Mourinho saw Saha holding the ball with Terry's back on the sidelines and suddenly turned around and passed the ball behind him. Fortunately, Curtis made a timely rescue and resolved a crisis. He secretly admired Ferguson's courage.

With 30 minutes left in the game, Ferguson replaced a defender with a forward, allowing Heinze to return to the penalty area to form three defenders, and then put Saha at the front of the defense to provide space for Rooney and Robbie. It does take a certain amount of courage for Neo, Quaresma and others to play ball.

"Then what should we do?" Cassel asked anxiously.

Obviously, after Saha came on the field, Manchester United's offense improved again. Robinho almost seized the opportunity to score a goal just now. Fortunately, Curtis made a timely clearance.

"Bring Mikel back and replace Cesc!" Mourinho explained neatly.

Although Cassel was a little surprised, he still carried out the execution unswervingly and immediately called Mikel back who was warming up. The latter immediately came to Mourinho, and the madman explained to him what he had to do after playing. Things, and then kept reminding him, after substitutions, the changes in the responsibilities of other players, etc.

In the 62nd minute, Mourinho made his first substitution against Ferguson, replacing the Spanish youngster Cesc Fabregas who performed well with John Obi Mikel. After the latter came off the field, he took the initiative to come to the sidelines and followed Mourinho hugged, he knew very well that this was a tactically necessary substitution and had nothing to do with his performance.

Originally, there was not much difference between replacing Fabregas or Beckham, but it can be seen that Beckham has a stronger desire to perform in this game, and his performance is indeed better than that of Fabregas. Excellent, it is more necessary to stay on the court.

After Mikel came on the field, he fell at the back of the team and built a strong defensive line in front of the defense, preventing Saha from directly facing the defense. In this way, Saha took the ball and turned around to make the ball. , the tactic of helping teammates to "break in" from the back row and attack cannot be used.

Not only that, in re-defending the situation on the court,

When containing Manchester United's offense, Mikel's appearance also gave the Red Rebels an extra point of support in front of the defense, allowing Beckham and others to attack with more confidence.

Especially after seeing that Manchester United's offensive was contained and Saha got into an entanglement with Mikel, Mourinho immediately directed the team to press forward and once again pointed his guns at Manchester United's defense.

Using offense instead of defense, Mourinho has never been a conservative!

In the heavy rain, Beckham was soaked to the skin, but he still didn't care. He ran back and forth, almost without stopping. He had no idea how far he had run. I believe if he If you know it, you will be surprised, because he has already run a full 11 kilometers, and there are still 25 minutes left in the game.

Someone once analyzed that Beckham's way of controlling the game is to run and support. His ability to play the ball while running is very accurate and secretive. And as he gets older, his input into the game becomes more and more intelligent. Gao, he gradually began to understand how to use some subtle details to control the game.

Redondo said that he has reached the master level!

But for Beckham, he doesn't care whether he is a master or not. He only cares about his own performance and the team's victory or defeat.

Unknowingly, it has been 4 years since he became the captain of the Red Rebels. These four years were also his most glorious four years. He became a double footballer. He was once the number one player in world football. He won almost every player in the club. Although he is eager to win the World Cup, everyone knows how difficult it is with England's strength!

After experiencing the World Cup in Germany, his World Cup dream for England has been shattered. Only when football wisdom has accumulated to a certain level can he understand what England lacks.

Just one Beckham is not enough, nor is just a group of Red Rebel players. What England really needs is more Beckhams and more Red Rebels.

Fortunately, Beckham sees a bright future. Under the auspices of Xiao Yu, England's youth training program has been in full swing for many years, with remarkable results. I believe that the benefits brought by the rectification of the Premier League and low-level professional leagues over the years have been It will appear one after another in the next few years, but he can't see it anymore.

The 32-year-old Beckham does not look old, but it is undeniable that he has really passed his prime. He is now like an old man, knowing that he is not far from death, but still struggling, hoping To be able to survive for a few more days, or should I say, he just wants to enjoy every game now.

For him, every game may be the last game of his career, just one injury!

The competition in the Premier League is indeed too fierce, and the competition within the Red Rebels is also very fierce. Cesc Fabregas and Michael Johnson have risen very quickly. Beckham cannot be like them. He can play double games a week. He is old. .

This game had a very special meaning to him, which made him very active in this game, running back and forth, but in the end he never found a chance.

Facing Senna and Carrick, Beckham had to admit that his speed was slower and his physical fitness was no longer as brave as it used to be. As Xiao Yu said, he had already aged silently, but I just didn't notice it.

The Red Rebels' tactics undoubtedly focus on running without the ball, which places high demands on the players' physical fitness and running ability. Beckham has begun to clearly realize that he cannot keep up with other teammates, but he still decided not to Retiring so soon, he has not aged to that extent.

Perhaps Xiao Yu's suggestion is good. Players and coaches can use these few years as an opportunity for their own transformation and plan for the future.

These sighs only flashed through Beckham's mind. He soon saw Mikel intercept a ball passed to Saha in the backcourt, but was quickly double-teamed by Saha and Rooney. Beckham immediately ran over and raised his hand.

Mikel immediately handed the ball to Beckham, who immediately knocked it to Evra on the left. The French knocked back again. Beckham stabilized the situation and the Manchester United players gradually retreated.

But at this moment, Beckham suddenly raised his foot and launched a long diagonal pass from the backcourt, directly to the team's right.

Messi didn't know when he passed through Manchester United's defense at lightning speed, and steadily stopped Beckham's pass with his chest on the right, facing the sea that came forward to grab it. As a result, Messi made a deft fake move, swaying continuously, creating a gap, then accelerated down the base and passed the ball.

The football traced a trajectory in the heavy rain and fell diagonally behind the goal. At this time, Xiao Luo, who didn't know where he was just now, suddenly appeared quietly at the back point and judged that The ball landed on Ferdinand who was behind him desperately. When he was about to head the ball towards the goal, he found that his body was involuntarily carried behind him and fell to the ground.

“Beep beep~~”

Webber trotted over without any doubt and came directly into Manchester United's penalty area. Facing Ferdinand who had tackled Ronaldinho from behind, he directly showed a yellow card. The latter knew that his foul was too obvious and shrugged. He shrugged and walked away without complaining.

At this time, all the Red Rebel players rushed to the frontcourt. According to the original practice, this penalty kick should be taken by Beckham. However, since the injury last year, the number one penalty kicker in the team has changed. Becoming Kaka, the Brazilian has never missed a penalty kick so far, so much so that many Chinese fans affectionately call him "Dianka".

But just when Beckham thought that Kaka would take the penalty kick, or that they would give the penalty kick opportunity to Ronaldinho who was eager for revenge, he saw both Ronaldinho and Kaka looking at him in unison. he.

"David, this ball is yours!" Curtis appeared behind Beckham at some point.

Terry even gave a scared smile, "I was always worried, thinking I had no chance, but luckily I earned a penalty kick."

Beckham looked at his teammates in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Stop pretending, captain, go ahead, we have a gift for you!" Curtis pushed Beckham hard.

The latter saw that his teammates did not stop him and came to the penalty kick suspiciously. Kaka had already placed the ball, "Don't be nervous, David, you will score this penalty goal!"

Beckham was completely confused. He discovered that his teammates had not forgotten things that he almost couldn't remember.

No wonder, in this game everyone was working hard to create opportunities for him and pass the ball to him. Even Kaka retreated deeper just to create more opportunities for him to "penetrate" forward. Ronaldinho gave him all the free kick opportunities.

"You brats!" Beckham said with a smile, but his heart was filled with emotion.

Ronaldinho also came over, hugged Beckham tightly and encouraged him.

Beckham arrived near the penalty spot, and all the Red Rebel fans stood up in unison. If this goal was scored, the game would basically be over. After all, there were less than 20 minutes left. In this time, it is almost impossible for Manchester United to score 3 goals against the Red Rebels.

And even if it's just a draw, the Red Rebels can win the championship early.

Ferguson was so disheartened that he even had a sense of irony, because he never thought that one day it would be Beckham who sentenced him and Manchester United to death.

Is it true, as Xiao Yu said, that there really is something called fate on the football field?

Ferguson didn’t know, he didn’t believe in these things, but at this moment, he really regretted that he should have kept Beckham and Keane. Although he should not bear the main responsibility for the departure of these two players, but if If he fought for the players, maybe the result would be completely different.

Beckham's penalty kick was undoubtedly scored, going straight into the dead center of the goal. No matter how brave Van der Sar was, he could not save this extremely tricky penalty kick. He could only beat the grass and regret it.

However, the players of the Red Rebels suddenly rushed up and carried Beckham on their shoulders. With everyone stunned, they went directly to the North Stand of the Red Rebels.

In the heavy rain, the North Stand football fans, known as the Red Rebels' most loyal fans, pulled out a large banner with the words "100 balls, dedicated to our Red Rebels" in extra-large fonts. The greatest captain! ], below is a line of small words, [David, you are our eternal hero! 】.

At this moment, Beckham felt that his chest seemed to be blocked by something. He was so stuffy that he felt a stream of warm liquid coming out of his eyes. He couldn't tell whether it was tears or tears. The rain slid down my face.

The players put Beckham down and everyone hugged each other tightly, surrounding Beckham in the middle.

Yes, they come from all over the world, they speak different languages ​​and have different skin colors, but they come together because of the Red Rebels. After years of hard work and struggle, they finally turned the Red Rebels into Become proud.

At this moment, not only Beckham, but every Red Rebel player is extremely proud.

The fans in the stands sang "Beckham's Song" loudly to celebrate him scoring the 100th Premier League goal in his career for the Red Rebels. He will be the history of the Red Rebels club. , the first person to complete this legend, and he is also the 12th player in the history of the Premier League to enter the 100-goal club.

This is definitely a milestone record for Beckham, especially in such a memorable game. The goal he scored is worth thousands of dollars.

Just as Beckham was accepting congratulations from his teammates, Ferguson on the sidelines suddenly made a decision.
