i am beckham

Chapter 33
At the end of the intermission, Manchester United still surrounded their opponents and attacked fiercely in the second half. After an hour of the game, Blackburn appeared at the limit of his physical fitness and gradually could not resist Manchester United's attack.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Butt kicked a powerful shot from one step inside the penalty area. Flores, who had been brave for an hour, finally let go.

Cole was quick to follow, but he always looked a little bit late when the goalkeeper poked the ball away first.

Scholes plugged in a supplementary shot in the small penalty area, but was blocked by Scottish central defender Hendry.

The football was still in the penalty area after it popped up. This time Manchester United grabbed the spot again. Keane didn't adjust and shot a volley. The football hit Flores' chest and was blocked again.

Luck did not always favor the Blackburn team. The ejected football landed at the feet of Lee Sharpe. He very cleverly chose to lob the football and rub the football over the goalkeeper's head.

1 to 0, the Manchester United team took the lead and finally took the lead.

The lagging Blackburn team could only choose to attack. They changed two wide players in a row and began to frequently use their personal abilities to create set-pieces.

In the 76th minute, Blackburn won a corner kick, and their corner kick was directly pushed out of the penalty area by Bruce.

The Blackburn players blocked the ball back, and the football landed at the feet of Alan Shearer. The England center forward, who had almost no chance of getting the ball in this game, turned around and volleyed against the tall Pallister.

1 to 1, the Blackburn team evened the score when the audience was passive.

My God, this is okay!

Watching Alan Shearer push the tall and mighty Pallister into a vain lower body, and then use the most domineering way to blast the football into the dead corner, Beckham grew his mouth.

Looking at the center forward who looked like he was in his 30s but was actually only 25 years old, he raised his right hand and ran past him with heavy steps. Beckham felt that this was a small human tank.

Judging from the appearance, he looks mature, and this center forward whose hairline has moved back obviously is definitely an amateur among passers-by.

He looked like a construction worker who had experienced vicissitudes on the construction site, and he didn't seem to be taller than himself.

In Beckham's view, Shearer's only bright spot is strength.

But based on this alone, Shearer put Manchester United's defense in trouble.

It should be described as this kind of situation
"There is still half an hour left, we have plenty of opportunities!"

Captain Bruce reacted as soon as the goal was conceded, while Keane reminded every player around him not to relax.

The Blackburn team equalized at home, and the fans of the home team thought that their team could take advantage of the situation and win the opponent.

But they yelled for less than 5 minutes, and the game resumed its original state.

The Manchester United players are like crazy in the siege of the Blackburn team. They are preparing to "kill" last season's league champion away from home. During the attack, 7 players overwhelmed the half-court.

With Keane withdrawing to the backcourt to press the formation, the Blackburn team tried to counterattack several times in a row but was successfully intercepted by him.

Why do I feel a burning sensation in my lungs, but fortunately I don't feel much in my legs.

In the 80th minute of the game, Beckham felt his lungs were burning, but his feet were not slow.

The Blackburn team was surrounded in the backcourt again, and their defenders tried to pass the ball out of the siege, but the football was lost as soon as it passed the penalty area.

Beckham sprinted from the right to the left, caught up to the exhausted Blackburn centre-back, and then flew to tackle the football in front of him.

The football landed at the feet of Lee Sharpe. He wanted to speed up his cross. The Blackburn central defender saw through him and shoveled past him from a few meters away.

Lee Sharp immediately jumped up to avoid it, and took advantage of the opportunity to pick the ball to Beckham.

Can you pass the ball a little bit ahead of time?
The ball was passed a little too far, and Beckham, who was silently complaining, had to keep his back to the goal as he caught up with the football on the edge of the penalty area.

The central defender who had just shoveled came forward.

Where is this curly-haired baboon, blocking my view.
Beckham couldn't see his teammates from the corner of his eye. At this time, he either came by himself or passed back to the midfielder. The curly-haired baboon seemed to want to get on his body.

How about trying a shot?
Hmm. That's a good idea!

He didn't have much time to think and made a quick decision.

There is Blackburn's central defender behind him. If he turns around and shoots, the opponent will definitely be able to react.

Beckham used the white line in the penalty area to briefly judge the position of the goal, then took a step away from the goal with his left foot, and quickly turned his wrist with his right foot, rubbing the football to the far corner of the goal.

"Pretty!"

As soon as Beckham took his kick, Lee Sharp cried out excitedly. Blackburn's central defender and goalkeeper were not at all prepared for this highly concealed shot. They watched the football slowly fly into the goal as if it was floating in the air.

In their view, football seemed to be launched from Beckham's body.

2 to 1, Beckham helped the team lead again in the last 10 minutes of the game.

"You're such a wonder boy!"

After scoring the goal, Beckham was just about to have fun on the pitch, when he was caught up by Keane and pushed to the ground, and other Manchester United players jumped up excitedly.

What the hell, can't you celebrate in a different way?

Except for some specific times, I don't want to be down there at all.

This is totally disrespectful to the goal scorer.
Beckham is a bit powerless to complain now. Every time the team scores a goal, the intelligence of his teammates will always become comparable to that of curly-haired baboons.

"I hope the kid isn't crushed by them."

On the sidelines, the rosy-faced Ferguson wanted to pretend to be calm, but chewing gum twice as fast as usual completely betrayed him.

Beckham's goal gave Blackburn less than 10 minutes to save themselves.

The defending champions panicked a bit, and Beckham saw an expression of disbelief on their faces. If they lose to Manchester United again in this game, they will suffer a three-game losing streak.

Although most of them had experienced many battles, they still couldn't accept the reality, and many of them had bewildered expressions on their faces.

Manchester United almost took advantage of the opponent's emotional change to score another goal, but it was a pity that Cole wasted Gary Neville's cross. He exerted his strength to drive this precise cross to the VIP area, which attracted endless ridicule from the live broadcast.

Blackburn quickly stabilized their mood, but they once again had differences in offensive methods, and some people wanted to make long passes directly.

And other players with championship airs want to find opportunities with short passes first, and then pass them in.

These pieced together motley crews began to fight on their own, until they woke up when they saw the fourth official raising the stoppage time card, and then began to try their luck with brainless long passes.

Three minutes of stoppage time, which is the time they can save themselves.

The first long pass, Pallister held off Shearer, and Bruce drove the ball back to Blackburn's half. Manchester United needed two people to carry this "banker man".

Immediately afterwards, Blackburn passed the football to the Manchester United penalty area. This time Shearer knocked Bruce down and kicked towards the crowd. Gary Neville rushed up to block the heavy shot with his body. There was a sigh at Ewood Park.

The opportunity is coming!

Beckham suddenly appeared in the crowd, took the ball and sprinted towards the frontcourt for a few meters, and another person rushed towards the enemy.

Several players from the Blackburn team chased after him. This scene is too familiar.

Blackburn players all have the impression that in the second round of the league, in the match between Manchester United and West Ham United, this blond young man who looked like a doll used a counterattack to run through the opponent's defense alone.
So the Blackburn players should hold him firmly at the first time. Don't look at this kid who looks like a silver pewter, but he is really not covered when he runs.

Just as several vicious Blackburn players were catching up, Beckham, who was advancing with the ball, suddenly changed direction and took the ball to the right.

How tired!

Beckham felt his lungs were burning, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and every step he took had to pay several times the usual price.

With this physical condition, it is basically impossible to fight all the way to the frontcourt.

Don't say that there are a few strong men staring at him now, even if there is no one around him, it will be difficult for him to sprint to the frontcourt with the ball.

The intensity of the game in 6 days and 3 games is simply not human.
Forget it, waste of time!
