On the number plate held up on the sidelines, Ferguson's first substitution was to replace the number 22 on the field with a number 9!
When Cassel saw Ferguson's substitution, he was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, it made sense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Manchester United's No.9 is French striker Saha, and No.22 is right wing-back O'Shea, O'Shea's performance in this game was actually not good, in the first half by the little Ronaldo, O'Shea was almost powerless, and in the second half, his characteristics determined that he could not give more help to the attacking side on the field.
Ferguson brought on Saha for O'Shea, which is a very clear positive sign that United are going to step up their attack!
Seeing O'Shea and Saha hugging on the sidelines, the Frenchman ran onto the pitch, first to Senna and Carrick, to explain the manager's latest tactical arrangements, and then went straight to Rooney.
Soon after, the Red Rebels made a mistake in a midfield pass and United counter-attacked, with Saha becoming the arrowhead at the front of the team, and his responsibility was to be the fulcrum of the attack.
If you want to be the fulcrum of the attack in the frontcourt, you don't have to be a tall and strong man like Drogba, or a purely technical striker like Saha.
"Saha's characteristics as a striker are very comprehensive, he is used to his left foot, but he is also good with his right foot, he can shoot with his head, and he is not slow, but what he really values by Ferguson is his excellent ability to take the ball with his back and turn to play the ball, which is definitely a big addition to Manchester United's forward line."
Mourinho saw Saha on the sidelines with his back to Terry to get the ball, suddenly turned around and passed behind him, but fortunately Curtis cleared in time to defuse a crisis, and secretly admired Ferguson's courage.
With 30 minutes remaining, it took a certain amount of courage for Alex Ferguson to replace a defender with a striker, bring Heinze back into the box to form a back three, and then put Saha at the front of the defence to play for the likes of Wayne Rooney, Robinho and Quaresma.
"So what do we do?" Cassel asked anxiously.
It was clear that after Saha's arrival, United's offensive momentum picked up again, and Robinho almost took advantage of the opportunity to score, but fortunately Curtis cleared it in time.
"Get Mikel back and replace Sesk!" Mourinho's neat confession.
Although Cassel was a little surprised, he still carried it out unswervingly, and immediately called back Mikel, who was warming up, who immediately came to Mourinho, and the madman explained to him what he had to do after he came on the field, and then kept reminding him, after the substitution, the change of responsibilities of other players, etc.
In the 62nd minute, Mourinho made the first substitution against Alex Ferguson. Obi? Mikel replaced the good Spanish youngster Cesc Fabregas, who took the initiative to come to the sidelines and hugged Mourinho after coming off the pitch, and he knew very well that this was a tactical substitution that had nothing to do with his performance.
Originally, replacing Fabregas or replacing Beckham, there was not much difference, but it can be seen that Beckham's performance in this game was stronger, and his performance was indeed better than Fabregas, and it was more necessary to stay on the field.
After Mikel came on the pitch, he fell to the back of the team and built a solid defensive line in front of the backline, preventing Saha from facing the backline directly, so that Saha's tactics of taking the ball and turning to play the ball and helping his teammates to insert the attack in the back row could not be played.
Not only that, when re-defending the situation on the field and containing Manchester United's attack, Mikel's arrival also gave the Red Rebels an additional support point in front of the defensive line, so that Beckham and others could be more assured to attack.
Especially after seeing Manchester United's offensive was curbed and Saha was entangled with Mikel, Mourinho immediately directed his team to press forward and once again aimed his musket at Manchester United's defence.
Attacking instead of defending, Mourinho has never been a conservative!
…………………… In the pouring rain, Beckham was soaking wet, but he still didn't care, he ran back and forth, almost without stopping, he didn't know how far he had run, and if he knew, he would have been surprised, because he had already run a full 11 kilometers and there were 25 minutes left in the race.
Someone once analyzed that Beckham's way of controlling the game is to run and respond, his ability to play the ball in the run is very accurate and secretive, and as he gets older, his wisdom into the game is getting higher and higher, and he gradually begins to understand how to control the game with some subtle details.
Redondo says he's already master!
But for Beckham, whether he is a master or not, he doesn't care, he only cares about his own performance, the team's victory or defeat.
It has been 4 years since he was the captain of the Red Rebels, and these four years were also his most glorious 4 years, he became a double footballer, he was once the first person in world football, he won almost all the honors that players can get in the club, although he is eager to win the World Cup, but everyone knows how difficult it is with the strength of England!
After experiencing the World Cup in Germany, his dream of the World Cup for England has been shattered, and only when the football wisdom has accumulated to a certain extent can he understand what England lacks.
It's not enough to have just one Beckham, it's not enough to have just a group of Red Rebels players, what England really need is more Beckham, more Red Rebels to show up.
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, and the benefits brought by the rectification of the Premier League and low-level professional leagues over the years are believed to be presented one after another in the next few years, but he can't see it.
The 32-year-old Beckham doesn't look old, but there's no denying that he's really past his prime, and he's like a dying old man now, knowing that he's not far from dying, he's just struggling, hoping to live a few more days, or rather, he just wants to enjoy every game right now.
For him, every fight could be the last 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. Johnson is up very fast, Beckham can't be like them, two games a week is not a problem, he is old.
This match has a very special meaning for him, which makes him very active in this game, running back and forth, but never finding a chance in the end.
Facing Senna and Carrick, Beckham had to admit that his speed was slow, and his physical fitness was no longer as brave as it used to be, as Xiao Yu said, he had already aged silently, but he didn't realize it.
The Red Rebels' tactics are undoubtedly very much focused on running off the ball, which makes the physical and running ability of the players very demanding, and Beckham has begun to clearly realize that he is not keeping up with his other team-mates, but he has decided that he does not want to retire so soon, he is not old enough.
Perhaps, Xiao Yu's proposal is good, and the player and coach can take the past few years as an opportunity for his own transformation and plan for the future.
These sighs only flashed through Beckham's mind, and he soon saw Mikel cut off a pass to Saha at the back, but it was quickly caught by Saha and Wayne Rooney, and Beckham immediately ran over and raised his hand.
Mikel immediately got the ball to Beckham, who immediately crossed to Patrice Evra on the left, and the Frenchman knocked back again, Beckham stabilized the situation and the United players gradually retreated.
But at this moment, Beckham suddenly raised his foot and launched a long diagonal pass from the backfield, which went directly to the right side of the team.
Messi didn't know when he passed through Manchester United's defense at a very fast speed, and stopped Beckham's pass with his chest firmly on the right side.
At this time, Xiao Xiaoluo, who didn't know where just now, suddenly appeared silently at the back point, judged the landing point of the ball, desperately stuck Ferdinand behind him, and when he was about to head the goal, he found that his body was involuntarily hugged to the ground by his back.
"Beep~~"
Webber undoubtedly trotted all the way to Manchester United's penalty area, facing Ferdinand, who had hugged Ronaldo from behind, and directly showed a yellow card, who knew that his foul was too obvious, shrugged his shoulders, and walked away without complaining.
At this time, all the Red Rebels players flocked to the front, according to the original practice, the penalty should have been taken by Beckham, but since the injury last year, the team's number one penalty taker has become Kaka, the Brazilian so far, the penalty has not been missed, so that many Chinese fans affectionately call him, point card.
But just when Beckham thought that Kaka would take the initiative to take a penalty, or that they would give up the opportunity to the vengeful Xiao Xiao Luo, he saw that Xiao Xiao Luo and Kaka both looked at him in unison.
"David, this ball is yours!" Curtis didn't know when, but appeared behind Beckham.
Terry smiled a little scaredly, "I've always been worried, thinking that there is no chance, but I can earn a penalty." ”
Beckham looked at his teammates in surprise, "What's going on?" ”
"Don't pretend to be garlic, Captain, go ahead, we have a gift for you!" Curtis gave Beckham a hard push.
The latter saw that his teammates did not stop him, and came to the penalty in a suspicious manner, Kaka had already set the ball, "Don't be nervous, David, score this goal, you know!" ”
Beckham was completely stunned, and he found that his teammates had not forgotten what he almost didn't remember.
No wonder, in this game, everyone is working hard to create opportunities for him, pass the ball to him, and even Kaka retreats deeper, just to create more opportunities for him to step forward, and Xiao Xiaoluo even gave him the opportunity to take free kicks.
"You stinky boys!" Beckham said with a smile, but his heart was full of emotion.
Little Luo also came over and hugged Beckham tightly and encouraged him.
Becky came to the penalty spot, and all the Red Rebels fans stood up in unison, if this one goal was scored, the game could basically be over, after all, with less than 20 minutes left, it was almost impossible for Manchester United to score three goals against the Red Rebels.
And even if it is only a draw, the Red Rebels can win the championship early.
Ferguson was so distraught that he even had a sense of irony, because he never imagined that one day it would be David Beckham who would sentence him and Manchester United to death.
Is it really as Xiao Yu said, there really is something called fate on the football field?
Ferguson doesn't know, he doesn't believe in these things, but at this moment, he really regrets it, he should have kept Beckham in the first place, he should have kept Keane, although he should not bear the main responsibility for the departure of these two players, but if he had fought for the players, maybe the result would have been completely different.
Beckham's penalty, undoubtedly scored, went straight into the corner of the goal, no matter how brave Van der Sar was, he couldn't save this kick that was almost extreme, he could only beat the grass and regret.
But the Red Rebels players suddenly rushed up, carried Beckham in unison, and came directly to the North Stand of the Red Rebels in a stunned manner.
In the heavy rain, the North Stand fans, who are known as the most diehard members of the Red Rebels, did not know when, and pulled out a big banner with the words "100 balls, dedicated to the greatest captain of our Red Rebels!" in an extra-large font. ], below is a line of small words, [David, you are our eternal hero! 】。
At this moment, Beckham felt as if something was blocking his chest, and he panicked, and a warm liquid was snatched out of his eye sockets, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and it slid down his cheeks.
The players put Beckham down, and everyone hugged each other tightly, and Beckham was surrounded in the middle.
Yes, they come from all over the world, they speak different languages, they have different skin colors, but they have come together because of the Red Rebels, and after years of hard work and struggle, they have finally turned the Red Rebels into pride.
At this moment, not only Beckham, but every Red Rebels player is extremely proud.
The fans in the stands sang the "Beckham Song" loudly to celebrate his 100th Premier League goal of his career for the Red Rebels, and he will be the first person in the history of the Red Rebels 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 for David Beckham, especially in such a memorable game, and his goal is worth a fortune.
And just as Beckham was receiving congratulations from his teammates, Ferguson on the sidelines suddenly made a decision.
