Chapter 127 Old Trafford Battlefield ①
Williams began to introduce Manchester United's starting lineup, "The goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the central defender is the partner of Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville, the right back is O'Shea, the left back is Sylvester. ; Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes, Djemba in midfield, Saha and Ruud van Nistelrooy in striker."

Williams' commentary partner Lineker focused on the Manchester United bench, and the camera lens quickly captured Rooney and Ronaldo on the bench. The two young people were talking in a low voice. At this time, the referee Boll blew his whistle, drawing the attention of the two talented young men back to the court.

…………

Manchester United kicked off, Ruud van Nistelrooy knocked the ball to Saha, Saha knocked the ball back to Djemba, the 23-year-old Cameroon midfielder controlled the ball, raised his arrogant nose slightly, and looked up to press Own Richardson.

This Cameroon player seems to have a proud capital. Eric Djemba has the same name as Cantona, so he is called "Eric II". It can be seen that the Manchester United club and fans have high hopes for him. In the last season, this guy who received 28 yellow cards and 10 red card in 1 Ligue [-] games came to Old Trafford.

It is said that Ferguson decided to take him under his account after watching a few games of Nantes in 2002. "We have been observing for a whole season, and we are impressed by his ability to understand the game. He is very fast and aggressive. He's a great passer, he's exactly what we're looking for in a strong player."

Djemba's skilful waving of the ball from the joint between Richardson and Albertini caused a lot of applause at Old Trafford, but Djemba wanted to go further When dribbling the ball, Albertini leaned over. As a result, Djemba couldn’t accelerate. The Cameroonian felt as if he was carrying a huge burden on his back. He couldn’t breathe, and his feet staggered. , The ball went out of the touchline.

Before the game, the local media in Manchester jumped out one after another, talking nonsense, thinking that Albertini had come to Leeds United, and the young and ambitious Djemba also said that he wanted the "former Milan team vice-chairman" to return after the game. Take the initiative to find yourself to exchange jerseys." Generally speaking, veterans take the initiative to find a young player to exchange jerseys out of recognition and encouragement for young people. However, this sentence was said from Djimba before the game. Too frivolous, the implication is that Albertini will be eaten.

…………

Leeds United threw out the ball quickly, and Pennant dribbled towards the middle. From the flank, Jemba came over with a shovel and brought Pennant down with the ball. After the ball was scooped, it reached Giger under his feet.

Although Milner was yelling at the referee, indicating that Djimba fouled, but the gesture of the referee was unmistakable——
No foul, the game continues!
Ryan Giggs, the greatest left-wing player in the history of Manchester United, is still young. He blew a red whirlwind on the right side of Leeds United. Lightly swinging his left foot, he pretended to pass the ball, and when Leeds United's deputy intercepted the ball, the ball hit his right foot. With a light tap on the instep of his right foot, the ball hit Scholes' feet.

There was thunderous cheers in the stands of Old Trafford, and the camera lens captured the figures of Ryan Giggs' wife and children in the stands.

…………

Scholes adjusted a little bit, took a few steps from the edge of the penalty area to the middle, and suddenly gave the ball to Saha, who was plugging in at high speed in the middle, the Frenchman's chance to shoot!
Facing the attacking Leeds United goalkeeper Carson, Saha ignored Ruud van Nistelrooy who was desperately waving for the ball on the other side, and directly pushed the ball into the far corner. After being touched by Carson's studs, Saha missed the goal. column.

Manchester United missed their chance!
"WOWOWOWO, Saha, the Frenchman, the Dutchman is asking for the ball, no pass, shot... hit the goal... WOWO, the ball is wide, we have to say, at this time, the selfish little man dance must be in Saha's There is a jump in the forehead, look, Sir Alex Ferguson's face, haha." The shot failed to score, and Williams, after breaking out in a cold sweat, also tried his best to ridicule him. He is from Leeds United. Fans, native Leeds, go fucking neutral commentary.

The ball was not scored, Saha jumped twice annoyedly, waved to Ruud van Nistelrooy who looked unhappy on the other side, turned around and ran back regardless of whether the Dutchman forgave himself or not.

************
Eddie Gray was furious on the sidelines. He was almost on the sidelines, yelling at the referee Ball, insisting that Djimba's tackle was a foul just now. On the sidelines, Pennant was receiving emergency treatment.

The referee Ball was obviously dissatisfied with the noise of the Leeds United coach, and gestured towards Eddie Gray, which meant, shut up, or the card will be drawn.

Eddie Gray, with a sad face, chewed the gum in his mouth vigorously, returned to the sidelines, asked about Pennant's injury, and after seeing that there was nothing serious, he spat on the ground bitterly.

At this time, just 6 minutes into the game, Manchester United completed a threatening shot, and Leeds United hadn't shot yet.

…………

The fighting movements of both sides are very big, and some movements are obviously intentional.

Djemba received a long pass from O'Shea, stopped the ball with his chest, and was about to dribble the ball. He was shoveled from the side by a suspected flying shovel from Pennant. Fuck, the referee gave Pennant a verbal warning, which caused a lot of boos from the stands at Old Trafford. In the eyes of Manchester United fans, Pennant's action was enough to return to the dressing room early , Of course, 2 minutes ago, Djemba's foul on Pennant was automatically ignored by Manchester United fans.

Next, Albertini held the ball in midfield. Roy Keane pushed the Leeds United captain from behind, stole the ball, and was about to launch a counterattack. Shovel, jumped up hastily.

The referee Boll's performance today is a little weak. I don't know what the England Golden Whistle is planning today. It seems to be to meet the visual needs of the audience for today's destined hot game. He turned a blind eye to some actions, which stimulated the players even more. their actions on the field.

The game went on for 15 minutes, the players on the pitch were hot, the fans in the stands were booing non-stop, the two sides switched offense and defense quickly, the game looked exciting, except for Saha's threatening shot, there was almost nothing decent Leeds United only had Albertini slide a free kick past the goal, giving Van der Sar a cold sweat.

…………

After fierce fighting, the first injured player finally appeared. In the 21st minute of the game, when Giggs was dribbling the ball, he was pushed from behind by Michael Ricketts who was actively returning to defense. The referee Boll Verbally warned Michael Ricketts, which caused great dissatisfaction among Manchester United fans. Everyone saw Giggs limping towards the sidelines, injured and made a substitution gesture.

"Shit!" Ferguson was furious, furious on the sidelines, "This is such a serious foul, and he didn't even get a yellow card. I really wonder if there is something wrong with his eyesight."

The fourth official warned the godfather of Manchester United with a look of shame, although he knew that this warning would not have any effect at all.

Although Ferguson was cursing, he had to be replaced passively, and he swept towards the bench.

Not far away, Li Rui also set his sights on Manchester United's bench. He wondered whether Manchester United would play Wayne Rooney, who was so popular in England that summer. However, he was a little surprised to see Manchester United's head coach He said something in the ear of a guy with pierced ears. That guy stood up and warmed up excitedly.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Manchester United made a substitution, and Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench to replace Ryan Giggs who was injured and left the field.
