Although the attack did not yield goals, it gave the Nottingham Forest players a renewed confidence. United's onslaught was broken by them, and it was difficult to trap them again.

Nottingham Forest is a fierce tiger that can be trapped for a while, but not for a lifetime. Ferguson understands this. So when he saw Nottingham Forest attacking fiercely, he was a little worried about whether it was an occasional counter-attack or a sustained attack...... He decided to keep watching.

※※※ Van Nistelrooy takes the ball with his back, Leo. Ferdinand was so tight that he wasn't sure he wouldn't turn around without conceding the ball, but it wouldn't be easy for Ferdinand to cut off the ball at his feet easily.

With the ball at his feet for a moment, Van Nistelrooy decided to force a turn and lunge in. There was no suspense as he was brought down by Rio Ferdinand outside the box.

That's the best result, and when Ruud van Nistelrooy gets the ball, it's not easy to break the ball at his feet. This center forward has super ball control ability, although he is 1.88 meters tall, his foot skills are very delicate and practical.

Rio Ferdinand was fouled and Nottingham Forest won another free-kick in front.

This time it was only twenty-two meters from the goal, which was very close. A free-kick is not always as close to goal as possible, and for most free-kick takers, 25 to 30 metres is probably the best range. If the distance is too close, the ball may not be able to go around the human wall, and if you want to let the ball go around the human wall, it may fly directly out of the baseline.

Beckham came up again with the football in his arms, and he had to take the penalty himself. Bale also walked up, but not to take a penalty, but to cover for Beckham.

"David. David Beckham again took the initiative to take the spot, having failed to take either of his previous free-kicks. United's wall knows his free-kick very well – five men blocked in front of the goal. ”

When Beckham bent down to set up the football, he was the center of attention. There was still boos and applause in the stands, and Manchester United fans loved and hated this man, and they had mixed feelings.

He left for Madrid, Spain, in the summer of 2003 and has lived on a separate footing. Whenever he was unhappy at Real Madrid, there were rumors that he was going to return to Manchester United, but he and Ferguson always denied it. It's not that Beckham doesn't want to return to Manchester United, but he knows very well that as long as his wife Victoria is still with him, and as long as Ferguson is still coaching at Manchester United, he will never return to Manchester United. Ferguson wouldn't be interested in a player over 30 years old, unfortunately, he's 33 years old this year.

He feels that he will never have the opportunity to wear the red shirt of Manchester United again in his career. After the end of his contract with Nottingham Forest, if he can still play, it is likely that he will go to the United States to play for another two years and then announce his retirement completely. Ferguson said Beckham might have achieved more than he does now if it weren't for his involvement with Victoria. But Beckham doesn't know what a higher achievement is. In addition to national team honours, he has already won all the honours that a club player can get.

But...... But it has never been recognized and respected by more people. Everyone mentions David. Beckham's name always comes to mind first of the flashy star who can only walk the catwalk. That's why he chose to join Nottingham Forest.

With a season coming to an end and he had a good time at Nottingham Forest, most of the time he got playing time apart from injuries, and the most talked about this season was not what business events he attended, but his performances at Nottingham Forest.

It's a good idea to wrap up the season with the game against Manchester United.

I love Manchester United but now I play for Nottingham Forest.

With the football set, Beckham got up and stepped back.

The Manchester United team in front of me is very unfamiliar, and there is only one old friend in the wall of five, Paul Scholes. Ryan Giggs was on the bench, Gary. Neville was also on the bench.

This may ease Beckham's psychological burden a little.

He stood in front of the football and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

The referee felt that the human wall was standing too far in front of the test, so he stepped forward and asked the human wall to retreat back to the position he designated. United's wall slid backwards, with Ronaldo moving the slowest in the crowd. He played a slippery head, and when the referee turned around, he moved half a step forward, and he stood forward a lot in small steps. The Nottingham Forest players reported their displeasure to the referee. The referee had no choice but to turn around and signal Ronaldo to step back, otherwise he would have given a yellow card.

Ronaldo staggered back into the wall again.

This is actually a kind of psychological warfare, using this repeated behavior to bring a certain amount of psychological pressure to the player who takes the free kick, causing him to play abnormally.

But his set doesn't seem to work against Beckham.

David Beckham is Manchester United's former No.7, and Ronaldo has just taken over the mantle from Beckham. Ronaldo arrived at Old Trafford and quickly conquered United fans with his skills, playing the slogan "There is only one Ronaldo", which can still be found in the stands at Old Trafford.

It's a clash between Manchester United's old and new No.7s.

The referee walked backwards this time, and under his watchful eye, Ronaldo did not move.

After a whistle, Gareth. Bale started running, he didn't kick the ball, he just stepped straight over the ball. Everyone knows that he is a cover, and Manchester United's human wall has not moved at all.

Immediately after, Beckham helped to run!

The familiar position reappeared at Old Trafford: leaning left parallel to the ground, arms outstretched, the left foot twisted and almost broken, and the right foot like a whip struck the middle and lower part of the ball.

The soccer ball soared into the air, bringing up a cloud of grass clippings. The human wall jumps upwards at the same time. Ronaldo was tall but didn't rub the football, and the football kicked by Beckham bypassed the human wall!

The ball didn't fly very high, and after going around the human wall, it drilled into the top left corner of the goal at great speed. Foster struggled to save, although his palm slapped the football, but Beckham's ball was more powerful than he thought, and he was not unable to shoot the football, the ball only changed direction slightly and crashed headlong into the net...... The Old Trafford stadium was silent for about a second before it finally sounded violently...... The clamor of cheers and boos intertwined.

"The ball is in!! David. David Beckham! It's been five years since we've seen him perform again at Old Trafford and now he's back, but as United's enemy, he's shot his vengeance into the heart of United! When he was personally expelled from Manchester United, Ferguson should have been able to guess that one day...... Someday, he'll see this!! ”

The commentator roared frantically, and the Nottingham Forest players rushed to Beckham with excitement.

But there was no smile on Beckham's face at all, he didn't celebrate the goal in any way, he didn't even raise his hand. When you see the ball coming in, you turn around and walk back. Although he is now a Nottingham Forest player and will have to give his all to the goal of Nottingham Forest to win the league title, it does not mean that he will be ecstatic in front of tens of thousands of United fans after scoring the goal. He only scored because he was a Nottingham Forest player, and he chose not to celebrate after scoring because he loved Manchester United and he didn't want to misunderstand those people.

Nottingham Forest's team-mates didn't care what Beckham was thinking at the moment, and pounced on him to celebrate loudly.

Even Done shook his fists hard from the sidelines, cheering on David Beckham's crucial goal.

Beckham, who was surrounded by the crowd, still did not celebrate, his face was still calm without the slightest smile. When the celebratory crowd had dispersed, only Van Nistelrooy had his neck around him and whispered in his ear.

No one knew what they were talking about, but it was only then that a slight smile appeared on Beckham's face.

The two men ran back side by side, and the United man had already placed the football in the centre circle and was ready to kick off.

"David. David Beckham's first return to Old Trafford was a thrilling sight to see when he scored a free-kick through his former club Manchester United. Manchester United's new No.7 scored two goals, and his predecessors didn't show weakness! Nottingham Forest were temporarily 2-1 down to Manchester United thanks to this goal, but the goal gave them hope of an equaliser. Judging from the overall trend of the game, Beckham's goal was more than just helping the team pull one back......

Extreme Manchester United fans are still booing Beckham, while those who are not extreme are feeling extremely mixed at this moment. Applaud him, right? He scored a goal for Manchester United, and it helped Forest out of trouble, and the importance of it is self-evident. What about him? The mouth can't be opened. After all, his time at Manchester United brought them countless happy moments, as Keane said in his open letter to Manchester United: he was the one who made the world love Manchester United.

It's poignant to see him and Ruud van Nistelrooy running side by side – they were once part of Manchester United, but now they're the United's number one rivals for the title.

Ruud van Nistrooy raised his hand and waved to the stands where Forest fans gathered, while Beckham, who was next to him, hesitated and waved his hand.

Ferguson sat in the dugout, and when Beckham scored, he didn't even lift his butt, was he mentally prepared for a long time? Or is it simply indifferent? No one knows what this stubborn old man was thinking, and he will certainly not admit that it was a mistake for him to let go of David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy, because he personally drove out an unknown number of people when he was in charge of Manchester United. As a result, some of those people mix well and some people mix badly. Manchester United is still Manchester United, and the eighteen championship trophies stand quietly in the honor room, representing the unshakable status of this club.

As the game continued, Beckham saved the team's future with a goal when the team needed it most, and now that the morale of the Nottingham Forest players has been boosted, it is completely impossible for Manchester United to use the full attack to hold down the Forest team.

Ferguson also knows this, so he asked the team to recycle and no longer give Forest an easy space to exploit. The two sides were entangled in the midfield, attacking and defending each other. It looks like Nottingham Forest are getting back into the game, but the initiative is still on United's side. Because for the current Nottingham Forest, no matter how much advantage they regain on the field, the score is still an undeniable reality. As soon as Manchester United shrinks, Forest's attacking opportunities will plummet, and as long as they continue to play with Nottingham Forest until the end of the game, a 2-1 victory will guarantee Manchester United the league title this season.

Donn watched carefully for a moment, and he discovered Ferguson's intentions.

Manchester United is not afraid of the attack on their side, nor is it because Nottingham Forest's attack has improved much, but because Ferguson wants to completely cut off the attacking line of the Forest team, forcing Nottingham Forest and Manchester United to face each other head-on, fighting a positional war and a war of attrition. When the two sides pulled each other apart, time passed quietly...... That's not going to work. If the game is really dragged to this point, Nottingham Forest will be in a dangerous situation. With almost 20 minutes to go until the end of the game, and in another 10 minutes, the Nottingham Forest players will inevitably be agitated if the score continues. When the time comes, the game on the field will be out of the control of him as a manager and head towards the abyss of unpredictability.

What to do? can only continue to urge the players to step up the attack. At the same time prepare the back hand. He called Lennon and Bendtner off the bench to warm up.

If it really doesn't work, just attack and give it a go.

To win the title, Nottingham Forest will have to keep their goal clean in the final minute before scoring two more goals against Manchester United. It's simply an impossible task.

Compared to the tense atmosphere on the Nottingham Forest bench, Manchester United's atmosphere on the bench was slightly more relaxed. After all, even if this game is drawn, the title will still belong to Manchester United. Nottingham Forest's conditions are too demanding to win the title, and as Manchester United players, they have confidence in their team. A team like Manchester United is not going to happen to a team like Manchester United who have scored two goals in a row at the last minute!

Beckham mentioned the opposition while defending Carrick, and it appeared to be only a slight collision, and Carrick immediately fell to the ground and rolled over with his ankle in pain. United's team doctor waited for the referee's signal before running up to diagnose Carrick.

Beckham approached Carrick in a friendly gesture and then told the referee that he didn't mean to.

In fact, everyone knows that at this time, Manchester United players will fall to the ground frequently, using all the factors that can be used to delay the game. The players of the visiting Nottingham Forest had no choice but to warn the referee, and United would not have been booed by the crowd as this is their home stadium. 50,000 out of 60,000 were behind Manchester United to win the title.

Take advantage of this, George. Wood gathered the big guys.

'We have to find a way to score.' Without any nonsense, he got straight to the point. "How about more through balls?"

Van der Vaart glanced at him: "That will increase the error rate......"

"It's not okay to keep it going around like this." Gareth. Bell was on Wood's side.

"Frequent mistakes can also affect morale." Ribery agrees with Van der Vaart.

Splitting into two factions so quickly was not what Wood wanted to see. He was just about to open his mouth when Beckham on one side spoke: "You can play more through balls, draw their defensive attention to the ball, and then open up for me on the right side, pass me the ball when appropriate, and I can find a way to get the ball into the box." ”

"Cross?"

"Yes. Cross. ”

'But both of their centre-backs were ......'

'So they need to focus on the through ball.'

Wood thought for a moment and thought it was okay to give it a try, and he nodded, "I think I can try." ”

It was a simple tactical meeting that ended quickly, as Carrick's side had walked out of the field with the team doctor and the game resumed.

United's free-kick ended up at the feet of the Forest players.

Pepe took advantage of Manchester United to focus on Van der Vaart, Franck Ribery and Georges. Wood and the others suddenly dribbled forward, forced a breakthrough and was put to the ground by Scholes, advancing fifteen meters to win a free kick.

In this stalemate between the two sides, Nottingham Forest really strengthened the through ball, and the fool can see that they are bent on finding the space behind the Manchester United defence, even if it may be intercepted halfway, the Forest players are insisting on trying to make a through ball.

It's not all without effect.

Arshavin received a through ball from Van der Vaart and almost scored. Forster focused and blocked Arshavin's shot in time, only to startle a crowd of United fans to jump from their seats.

United quickly responded to Forest's tactical changes, intensifying their presence in front of their own penalty area, with Van der Vaart and Ribery, as well as Georges. Wood's pass guards.

In such a situation, Beckham on the right was let go.

As soon as Van der Vaart gets the ball, O'Shea will desperately rush up to him, interfere with him, deny him a chance to observe the gaps in United's defence, and then deliver a dangerous through ball.

This time, however, Van der Vaart didn't pass through and suddenly split the ball wide after a false shot.

David Beckham receives the ball. Raphinha quickly stepped forward and slipped past David Beckham, drawing the attention of the United defenders, who thought he was going to pass to Raphinha, who would drop or cut inside. Just as Evra was retreating, Beckham crossed from the spot!

Without giving the Reds any chance to make adjustments at the back, David Beckham's cross flew over the defenders' heads like precision-guided missiles before appearing over Ruud van Nistelrooy's head!

What his old friend wanted to do, Ruud van Nistelrooy knew before he passed the ball, and when he saw him receive the ball, he always paid attention to keeping parallel to the defenders next to him, ready to rush out to grab points at critical moments.

This moment really made him wait.

Leo. Rio Ferdinand was outside to help contain Van der Vaart and Franck Ribery on the edge of the penalty area, with only Nemanja Vidic watching.

And Beckham's pass is too comfortable, no matter whether it is a Vidic or Vidic plus Ferdinand next to him, the ball is delivered accurately, and when Van Nistelrooy jumps, impartially, the time is just right!

Ruud van Nistelrooy jumped in the air and could feel Vidic distracting him behind him, but the ball was ...... Even if it's interference, it's useless!

Getting rid of Vidic's pull, Van Nistelrooy, who was in the air, suddenly exerted his strength and flicked the header!

Swish!

It's so easy to ...... "hat_a_gooooal!! Van Nistelrooy – David. Beckham's precise pass allowed him to jump up and flick his head lightly! Some time ago, Nottingham Forest's attack seemed to be going to force the middle, which looked stupid! But this time, Beckham's cross and Ruud van Nistelrooy's tacit understanding changed everything! Nottingham Forest draw 2-2 away at Manchester United! The second half of the game was so dramatic! ”

Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't have the same cold face as David Beckham did after his goal, and he ran with open arms to Beckham, who assisted his pass, and Beckham's face was also delighted. The two friends hugged each other, and then were quickly overwhelmed by the rest of their teammates.

Don turned his head excitedly off the court. Who would have thought that Nottingham Forest could now equalise when United were two goals ahead? Are the United fans going to start celebrating early? Now I call you good-looking!

"Nottingham Forest stubbornly equalised. With thirteen minutes left in the game, it was full of suspense! It seems, Tony. Donne's side don't want to give up the league trophy to anyone else, and it won't be easy for United to defend their title! ”
