Chapter 124 The Explosive Beckham

Beckham was desperate. Although he already knew that it would be difficult for him to catch up with the football, he still chased him all the way to the sideline, as if he still had nowhere to vent his strength.

After the football rolled out of the sideline, he stopped. He looked up to the sky and screamed regretfully. After the call, he quickly turned around and ran back to the court to devote himself to a new round of defense.

Liverpool left-back Riise quickly sent a throw-in. Murphy, the left wing-back, had just received the ball when Beckham pounced on him. He quickly stopped and turned around to protect the ball.

Beckham shifted in front of him, lowered his center of gravity, and stood ready.

Although there was a conflict with the head coach, although this was just a somewhat tasteless League Cup, Beckham did not slack off in the slightest.He wants to prove to that old guy that he has always been the Beckham who regards football as his life and is full of desire for championships!
At the same time, fans from both sides, each occupying half of the Cardiff Millennium Stadium, began to sing their own team songs to cheer for their respective home teams.

Liverpool coach Houllier stood at the very edge of the coach's command area, with one foot almost on the pitch.This fully demonstrated the anxiety and tension in his heart.

In the game, Liverpool led twice but was tied twice by Manchester United, which caused huge psychological pressure on Houllier.

It's not just Houllier who is nervous, Manchester United coach Ferguson is not much better.At this moment, he was not sitting on the bench, but stood in the head coach's tactical guidance area on the sidelines.

………………

Owen stood on the field with his hands on his hips, his breath was much heavier than before.

In this game, as Liverpool's main attacker, he dribbled the ball forward again and again, kept retreating and turning around and sprinting, which exhausted his physical strength.

However, when it was Liverpool's turn to attack again, he quickly jumped into the attack again.

"Owen raised his hand to ask for the ball... Hamann passed the football... Sure enough, Liverpool's offensive engine is Owen, and only he can pose a threat to Manchester United's defense..."

After Owen took the ball, he didn't go directly to the middle, but took the ball forward along the side.

Solskjaer is chasing after him. In terms of running speed alone, he is actually only slightly worse than Irving, but Irving's combination of man and ball is really good. No matter how fast he is, it is useless. , If you can't break the ball, you can only run by the side.

Roy Keane rushed over from the middle and joined the running team, but he has an advantage in physical strength and kept squeezing Owen during the running.Since he didn't have any cards on him, he didn't have any worries, so he naturally had to move more freely.

Owen felt Keane's impact while dribbling the ball, and this aggressive defensive approach really made him feel the pressure.He planned to get rid of Keane, so he first made a gesture to pass the ball to Gerrard who was in front of him, but after swiping his right foot, he just feinted and knocked the football to the middle in the process of taking it back, trying to make Keane pass. Throw it off.

When he was competing with Keane, Solskjaer, who had been on the sidelines before, suddenly accelerated, changed direction and accelerated before Owen, and then kicked Owen's ball first. poked away!

………………

"Solskjaer! Beautiful steal!" Huang Jianqiang shouted excitedly, "With a few minutes left in the game, this successful steal is a great morale booster!"

Almost as soon as Solskjaer caught up with the football, Liverpool's Carragher pounced on him.In his haste, he could only stab the football again, and stabbed it to Scholes, who was supporting him.Then he jumped up and bumped into Carragher, and both fell to the ground.But the referee's whistle did not sound, he saw Scholes received the ball and chose to let the game continue.

At this moment, Scholes is facing a choice - should he choose to stay steady in the backcourt and delay a little longer?I still choose to counterattack as soon as possible. After all, Liverpool is now in an unstable state of offensive and defensive transition...

At this moment, he heard Yin Jun yelling: "To David!!"

Scholes looked up and saw that the Beckhams had rushed forward like an arrow off the string!
No need to hesitate any longer, his teammates have already made a choice for him - counterattack!
Scholes raised his foot to kick the football forward and made a long diagonal pass.Scholes has always been known for his long pass accuracy. This long pass was like a guided missile. It swept across half of the football field and landed in front of Beckham, leaving enough space for Beckham to sprint.

………………

"Long ball for Scholes to Beckham! Manchester United's counterattack!"

Beckham glanced back as he ran forward to see if Scholes had passed the ball to him.When he saw the football flying towards him, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

The football landed in front of him, and his desperately swinging arms drove his two legs, speeding up to chase the football.

Liverpool's left central defender, Riise, was in front of him. He wanted to come up to steal the ball early, but after seeing the sprint speed displayed by Beckham, he directly started to retreat - because he was worried that his speed would not be able to fight. The other party, was given by the other party...

As Beckham caught up to the ball on the wing, Liverpool's players were desperately fighting back.

Hyypia, Henchoz, Harman, Gerrard, Murphy, and even Irving all swept back like the wind.

Beckham doesn't care about that, he puts on the football and kills Riise!
Seeing that the opponent was coming towards him, Riise cursed in his heart, but he did not rush forward on impulse, but slowed down and retreated while fighting, so as not to give Beckham the opportunity to forcefully break through him by relying on his speed. Opportunity.

After Beckham dribbled up the ball, he realized that Riise had not come up to fight with him, but kept retreating, which made him a little uncomfortable.

If he can't get rid of Riise quickly, the situation he faces is not good.So he changed his strategy, accelerated the change of direction, and tried to cut inside.

As expected, Riise also followed.

Seeing this, Beckham slammed the football to the outside with the instep of his right foot, then changed direction and returned to the side, making a posture to break through from the side.

Riise didn't dare to neglect and could only change back again.

As soon as he changed back, Beckham's right foot buckled the football to the middle again, and changed direction again!

Riise was under tremendous pressure on his lower knee during Beckham's continuous transformation, but he still turned back tenaciously, but his figure was already a little staggering.

Beckham didn't give him a chance to adjust, he just knocked the football into the penalty area, and then went around from the other side!
The ball is divided! !
There was a huge cheer from the stands, from the Manchester United fans.There were also huge boos, from Liverpool fans.
