Ferguson watched Ronaldinho running towards the field, watching the red No. 7 jersey getting further and further away from his sight.
Ferguson stopped chewing gum and thought of the previous owner of this jersey.
Beckham was one of Ferguson's favorite players, and Ferguson treated Beckham like his own son. Back then, Beckham also used his performance on the court to repay Ferguson.
But the former Manchester United No. 7 left, leaving the old man behind and went to Real Madrid.
In Ferguson's eyes, Beckham only did and missed two things when he was at Manchester United, one intentional and one unintentional.
The most interesting thing was meeting Victoria.
Since the two of them got together, Beckham has listened to that woman more and more, started to follow the idol route, and started to be pestered by more and more media, advertisements, and news, and was constantly being packaged in commercials.
Gradually, he moved further and further away from pure football.
In the end, Ferguson also fell out with Beckham, and his former disciple left for Spain.
As for that unintentional thing.
Ferguson looked to his left, where the Leeds United coaching bench was.
George Lee.
It can be said that he is the most outstanding youth player trained by Manchester United and his favorite disciple. Although Ferguson is not the coach of Manchester United's youth training team, he has put a lot of effort into George Lee.
However, all this was ended by Beckham's tackle.
No one blamed Beckham, not even Lee George himself. The two still kept in touch after Lee George left Manchester United and had a good personal relationship.
But it is undeniable that that tackle took away Ferguson's years of hard work.
This is not the worst thing. Now his favorite disciple is leading other teams and has become Manchester United's most powerful opponent in the league.
In less than three seasons, Leeds United has reached the first echelon of the Premier League under the leadership of Lee George.
Originally this season, Ferguson saw Chelsea trapped in a cocoon, Arsenal struggling, and Liverpool only playing cup games under the command of the fat man.
I want to take this opportunity to win back the league trophy that I haven't won in several years.
However, after more than 20 league rounds, Ferguson discovered that the one behind him that was biting him the hardest was Leeds United led by George Lee.
After 24 rounds of the league, Manchester United now ranks first with 56 points, and Leeds United ranks second with 51 points.
These five points were like a stick in Ferguson's throat, and he couldn't relax at all.
Because Leeds United currently has one game in hand, and the game in hand is a home game against Wigan, Leeds United is basically guaranteed to win.
Then if they lose to Leeds United in this game, and then Leeds United wins Wigan in the make-up game, Leeds United will score 6 points and complete the lead over Manchester United.
In just three years, the "Trafford Stenographer" has pieced together Leeds United into a Premier League powerhouse through various means.
League Cup, UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup. If this kid is allowed to win the league championship again, Leeds United's rise will be unstoppable and the situation in the Premier League will be even more chaotic.
"Ah sneeze~"
George Li sneezed on the other end. Feeling the cold, he quickly pulled his down jacket to the top. Then he saw the look from Ferguson on the other side and nodded quickly.
You have obviously communicated with the old man just now, why are you still looking here.
After George Lee nodded to Ferguson, he began to look into the field. Manchester United's home game against Leeds United for the top spot was about to begin.
^^^
There is a reason why Ferguson is worried about not being able to win against Leeds United at home today.
If you look at Manchester United's main lineup, Ronaldinho and Rooney will be the main output of Manchester United's attack line. The defense line of Vidic and Ferdinand's central defender partnership can be said to be a perfect complement to each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest central defender combination in the Premier League. . After Carrick came to Manchester United, he organized the midfield in order.
However, apart from these, Manchester United's other positions are relatively weak. Left back Evra was injured and had to be replaced by Heinze. The most suitable partner for Carrick has never been found in the defensive midfielder position. Today, O'Shea was sent. There is no good center forward on the forward line, so Solskjaer and Rooney have to be paired.
Ferguson was very optimistic about Leeds United's Van Persie before, but it was impossible for Leeds United to sell him to him. The Dutch forward eventually went to Real Madrid.
Coupled with the injured members of his team, Ferguson felt that the main starters he sent today were completely unable to live up to his position at the top of the Premier League.
After the game started, Ferguson felt the deep malice of George Lee.
Leeds United's three midfielders firmly surrounded Carrick and completely let O'Shea go. Ferguson had to let Rooney retreat many times to receive the ball from Manchester United's backcourt and pass the ball to the midfield.
Only 75 seconds into the game, Leeds United almost scored. Milner on the right used his speed to eat Evra alive. Unfortunately, he was too fast when passing the ball and there was no teammate in the middle to respond. The ball was confiscated by Robinson.
In the 3rd minute, Ronaldinho went to the middle from the right and suddenly shot long distance outside the penalty area, but was blocked by Van der Sar.
In the 10th minute, it was Ronaldinho's breakthrough again. Today, Leeds United's Baines kept driving Ronaldinho to the center to prevent him from going down.
It's just that when Ronaldinho was heading for the ball in the middle, Parker stepped into position and blocked the ball.
Both sides touched the ball at the same time, and then Ronaldinho dived to the ground, but the referee signaled for the game to continue.
In the 11th minute, Leeds United took the lead in scoring.
Matteisen found Kevin Davis in front through a long pass from the backcourt. Leeds United's No. 14 struggled to get ahead of Vidic and passed the ball to the position behind Ferdinand and Neville.
Smith cleverly entered the penalty area from Neville's side.
Before Robinson could attack to block all angles, he volleyed with his left foot from the near corner to complete the goal.
1 to 0.
Robinson was very angry when he saw the goal he was guarding being scored by his former teammates.
I really regret not moving a little more to completely seal off the near corner.
But Smith checked the goalkeeper's position before shooting. If Robinson did that, he could have taken the far corner and the result would be the same.
After Smith scored, he began to provoke the Manchester United fans. He came to the place where the Manchester United fans gathered, yelled at them, and showed the team emblem on his jersey.
The Manchester United players were stunned by Leeds United's sudden goal. It was just that the backcourt defender received the goalkeeper's throw and then scored after two more passes.
The speed and efficiency are astonishing.
In fact, it was George Lee who took advantage of his old teammate Ferdinand. Before the game, he told Kuyt and Smith on the wings that they could take advantage of Ferdinand's lack of concentration to steal from behind him.
This is not the first time this has been done. The last time they faced Manchester United, Leeds United scored a goal in this way.
Today I brought up the old thing again, and the effect is still very obvious.
