……

22 April 2000.

When David Beckham's free-kick helped Manchester United beat Southampton 3-1 away,

It also marks the success of Manchester United's title defense.

Their advantage in the title this season is 18 points.

The biggest win since the birth of the Premier League.

……

As a result, the final home game against Tottenham Hotspur in the league became a stage for Manchester United to celebrate.

David Beckham scored the world wave again,

What's more exciting than the goal is his domineering celebration,

King Cantona also visited the stadium after many years.

His successor to No. 7 is now as dominant as he was back then.

……

At the championship ceremony,

Xiaobei appeared with his 1-year-old and 2-month-old son Brooklyn,

The achievements of the career, the warmth of the family,

cut off a youthful long hair,

The bald image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

A month later, Euro 2000 began.

……

The 2000 European Cup is the most wonderful European Cup that Du Xinghe has ever seen, and the miracle of Santo Tortor has made him unforgettable. Perhaps only Euro 96 can compete with Euro 2000.

In the new millennium, the last generation of football heroes has aged, and under the influence of utilitarian football, the personality of the players has become less and less.

Although there was a court magician who shocked Du Xinghe later, it was on the whole. After entering the new millennium, the temperament and aura of the stars cannot be compared with the gathering of heroes in the last century.

With "Bei Ying", Du Xinghe began the memories of secretly watching the game at night when he was taking the 2000 European Cup sophomore exam.

……

At that time, Beckham was already the absolute main force in the Three Lions led by Keegan.

In the first match of the European Cup, the Portuguese team, Xiaobei made his debut,

He had two trademark scimitar assists on the right flank in the opening ten minutes.

Helped Scholes and McMallaman score successively.

However, even such a stunning table xiàn,

Still can't let Beckham be the protagonist of this game.

Figo's classic World Cup then led Portugal's golden generation to a super comeback.

……

The second game was against Germany.

Becky's delicate curved ball at a 45° angle,

The assist set up Shearer to find the back of the net for Kahn.

It ended England's 34-year history of a 34-year winless run against Germany since the 1966 World Cup final.

This assist, whether in terms of power, from angles, or in the arc.

It is also considered by many to be the most perfect assist in Xiaobei's career.

……

However, in this competition.

Becky was powerless to end England's 34-year history of no honours.

The third scene. England were knocked out of the tournament by Romania's midfielder.

Phil? Neville, like David Beckham two years ago,

Bears the infamy of sinners in England.

……

7 October 2000

The old Wembley Stadium completed his final 90 minutes.

In the World Cup qualifiers,

Hamann's free-kick from 40 yards out helped Germany beat England 1-0.

At this point, the Wembley legend came to an end.

Head coach Kevin? Keegan also left the class in disgrace.

English football is in the midst of an unprecedented crisis.

Head Coach Vacancies,

Leaders Heman and Adams? With Shearer's withdrawal, England was really calling for a new leader

……

November 2000

Although acting manager Peter Taylor has only managed this England game,

But he made a big decision that would affect England for at least the next six years.

Appoint David? David Beckham is England's new captain.

In Becky's later 50-game England captaincy,

15 November 2000

The away game against Italy was the first,

Although losing the game,

When David Beckham wore the captain's armband for the first time to this day,

It was called an important and glorious moment in his life.

……

Soon, England's new manager, the Swede Eriksen, took over,

He continued the appointment of Peter Taylor,

Beckham's captain's armband was retained.

So far, the 25-year-old Beckham was in the slump of English football that year.

Officially took over the captain's armband of the Three Lions.

……

24 March 2001

Becky's first official game as England captain,

England must beat Finland at Anfield to retain their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.

The Three Lions and their captain David Beckham have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders in this game.

……

In the second half of the game,

Paul Scholes assisted, and Beckham made the winner from a tight angle.

This match against Finland 2:1,

Not only does it open up a wonderful prospect for England to qualify for the World Cup,

It also marks the official entry of the England team into the era of Eriksen,

Or rather, the era of Beckham has officially begun.

……

Just this season, the 2000-2001 season,

Manchester United, with a full squad, also began their journey to a third consecutive Premier League title.

It was the most prolific season of David Beckham's 14-year United career.

In addition to the constant scoring for the Three Lions after becoming captain,

There were also 16 goals for Manchester United.

Most of them are direct free kicks,

And there is no shortage of classics.

……

Especially the same city derby away to Manchester City.

This free-kick from 40 meters out, less than two minutes into the game,

It is an indelible classic in Xiaobei's career.

Manchester United's footsteps remain steady.

In 2001, they became the first Premier League winners to win three consecutive titles.

And such a difficult honor, in the next ten years, only Manchester United team has ever achieved.

……

In the following 01-02 season,

David Beckham and his team-mates experienced the most incredible comeback in Premier League history.

From 0:3 to 5:3, Manchester United created a zào miracle in White Hart Lane.

Becky used his last brilliant goal to pour salt on the wounds of his former coach Childless Hoddle.

……

You'll surely remember at Ewood Park in Blackburn,

Becky completed a wonderful redemption with a clever quick free-kick after contributing an own goal.

You surely also remember Upton Park at West Ham United,

Beckham, who completed a precise lob after a long run.

Those are the real Beckham,

One of the best Beckhams.

……

1 September 2001.

England finished their best game in 35 years.

They swept Germany 5:1 in Munich,

both avenged the defeat to the opponent in the final battle at Wembley,

and the hope of qualifying for the World Cup group in his own hands,

Becky experienced the game as the captain.

I recall the scene at that time.

He said: The night at the Olympic Stadium. Every England fan is proud of the Three Lions.

……

6 October 2001, Old Trafford.

When David Beckham led the team to start this final World Cup qualifier.

Their form shì is, as long as to win. can be directly promoted.

But due to the news of a draw for Germany in another venue,

The situation in England is more favorable,

A draw would allow you to qualify for the World Cup.

……

However, for most of the game,

England are behind.

Beckham got too many free-kick chances in this game, probably seven or eight times.

But the first few free-kicks he penalted were all quite outrageous.

Injury time,

When England got another free-kick opportunity,

Sheringham said he wanted to take the penalty,

But Beckham steadfastly rejected him.

……

In the end, it was the turning point of the whole game.

This kick allowed England to qualify directly for the 2002 World Cup.

This kick made England's 5-1 victory over Germany without losing its original meaning.

This kick made the British media call it worth hundreds of millions of pounds.

From the British Sinners in 1998 to the Deliverance in 2001,

David? After this kick, Beckham went from being a man to a god.

……

At the end of 2001,

Becky won the Sports Personality of the Year award from BBC Radio in the United Kingdom.

At the same time, he once again won the runner-up of the World Footballer of the Year.

The passage of time has inexorably propelled a mature Beckham to the pinnacle of his career.

At this time, he was already a heartthrob.

In English football, and indeed in every area of society,

All enjoy unstoppable charm,

Commercials, advertisements, autobiographies, hairstyles, and even tattoos can have a huge impact on society.

We call it the Beckham Cyclone or the Beckham phenomenon.

It's an unstoppable reality,

In that particular time in 2001,

The Beckham craze has taken the world by storm.

……

On 10 April 2002,

In the match between Manchester United and Deportivo La Coruna,

Argentine player Duscher's flying tackle guide Beckham fractured his left toe bone,

The doctor's diagnosis was that he needed to rest for at least 8 weeks,

That's 56 days.

However, the World Cup is less than 50 days away.

All of England was holding its breath at the moment.

Waiting for the news of their captain's miraculous recovery,

This is after the '98 World Cup,

For the first time, the British really felt that their outcasts were now the greatest darlings who carried the hopes of all England.

During the days of recuperation, time seemed to freeze.

Beckham went from initial despair to calm face and then to positive recovery;

His injuries are miraculously recovering as quickly as possible.

In England's 2002 World Cup squad announced by Christian Eriksen,

Of course, their captain could not be missing.

……

May 2002

Beckham, who has not fully recovered from his injuries,

It is confirmed that he will participate in the World Cup for the second time.

He threw a grand banquet in his mansion in Cheshire.

Perform for the soldiers of the Three Lions who are about to depart.

The banquet was arranged in a typical Japanese and Korean style.

All the celebrities and celebrities of English football.

and the soldiers of England were invited to attend.

At this banquet,

As captain, Becky expressed the ambition of the Three Lions.

With a full lineup, they are bound to make a difference in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

……

On 13 May 2002,

With a wounded leg that has not yet fully healed,

David Beckham and his Three Lions began their journey to the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

The Beckham craze in Japan is no less than anywhere else in the world.

In a frenetic atmosphere.

Beckham has once again felt the magic of the World Cup.

He couldn't wait.

The injured left foot miraculously faces a recovery in the increasingly accelerated training.

Although not 100% healthy,

But it's enough to meet the requirements of the competition.

That's it. Xiaobei, who once thought that he would miss the World Cup,

Once again, we embarked on the journey of the World Cup.

Unlike four years ago,

He was a newcomer back then,

By this time he was the captain of the Three Lions.

……

On 2 June 2002,

Beckham, who has a moxican head, leads the whole team out,

Facing head coach Eriksen's home country team, Sweden,

David Beckham completed his trademark corner assist,

Helped Saul Campbell score England's first goal of the tournament.

England, who are mired in the Group of Death, had a good opening game, drawing 1-1 with Sweden.

……

Then it's time for the best end of the 98 World Cup grudges,

England faces arch-rivals Argentina,

David Beckham faces Simeone.

In the 44th minute of the first half,

Owen's breakthrough caused a foul on Argentina's Pochettino,

Won a penalty for England.

Captain David Beckham took the plunge and stood in front of the penalty spot.

……

Penalty Kick Hit,

Beckham roared and vented all his strength for 4,

At this moment, he had waited for a long time,

For this moment,

He also gave a lot.

Today, we finally beat Argentina with our own hands.

drew an eternal end to the scene that had been bothering him for four years.

……

After qualifying from the group, England defeated Denmark 3-0 to advance to the last eight.

Beckham, as captain, has a habit in this World Cup,

That's to kiss every player who scores for England,

Ferdinand, Owen, and even Husky he didn't let go.

England entered the last 8 to face the favourites Brazil.

Owen seized Lucio's mistake to give England a 1-0 lead,

At this time, the Three Lions are far from their dreams before the expedition,

It's getting closer,

……

However, this game, in the end, did not belong to Beckham,

Not of Owen, not of He-Man,

but belongs to an elf-like Brazilian,

Ronaldinho, who is only 22 years old!

He first assisted Rivaldo to score with magical footwork,

Then he used a magical Flying Immortal to make Seaman a sinner in England.

……

Brazil knocked England out of the tournament 2-1.

Same as four years ago. The English are once again on the verge of a hopeful tiebreaker,

Had to end their World Cup journey early.

Unlike four years ago,

Beckham at this time,

As captain he already has more responsibilities,

I learned to take responsibility.

……

There is always a sinner in English football every big game,

1998 was David Beckham himself,

2000 was Phil Neville,

In 2002, it was Seaman.

……

Captain David Beckham comforting Seaman after the game,

It's played over and over again.

However, a qiē is always over,

It's a pity. Even if it's disappointment.

A qiē always has to return to reality.

……

Three months after the World Cup, in September 2002,

At Portland Hospital in Manchester,

David Beckham's second son, Romeo, was born.

Three years ago. Also in the same hospital.

He welcomed his first son, Brooklyn.

There are English media who boldly predict.

A dozen years later, Manchester United's midfield will feature a combination of brothers Brooklyn and Romeo.

The family life is becoming more and more complete,

gave Becky unlimited motivation.

……

At the beginning of the 02-03 season.

He's in such good shape,

Manchester United have vowed to win the Premier League title they have just lost a year.

However, due to his wife Victoria's over-packaging of Becky,

Ferguson's displeasure was triggered.

Although Becky is in excellent form on the field,

But it was inevitable that there would be a gap between master and apprentice due to some minor problems.

For example: Ferguson is not very satisfied with Xiaobei always missing training because of his son's illness,

However, a few days later, he suddenly appeared at a press conference with his wife.

……

It can be said that during that time, Beckham on the field was still unparalleled,

Whether it is in the process of Manchester United's impact on the Premier League title,

It was in the middle of England's Euro 2004 qualifiers.

But the off-the-field news continues,

Ferguson has been brought to the brink of endurance.

……

So on February 15, 2003,

A qiē just so inevitably happened.

In the FA Cup match, Manchester United was eliminated by Arsenal 0:2 at home,

Edu's first goal bounced off David Beckham's back.

The iron-faced Ferguson kicked his sneakers against Ferguson's eyebrow bone in the locker room.

Xiaobei broke his appearance on the spot.

This is known as the "Flying Bootgate" incident.

This incident pushed the fourteen-year mentorship relationship between Ferguson and Beckham to the brink of splitting.

……

Although Ferguson has avoided the topic of disagreement between the two on many occasions,

The deep scar left on Beckham's left eye at the time has already illustrated a qiē,

This is an inevitable fuse,

Ferguson has reached the point where he can't bear Xiaobei's excessive off-field life,

……

So the media reported one after another,

Beckham will soon leave Old Trafford.

14 years ago, the photos of Beckham and Alex Ferguson signing are still clearly there.

What kind of experience has time passed,

pushed this seemingly unbreakable master-apprentice relationship to the end.

……

On April 23, 2003, Manchester United hosted Real Madrid.

In this important second leg of the Champions League,

Ferguson chose Veron, who had just recovered from injury, to start,

Beckham, on the other hand, was on the bench.

This has been seen as a very obvious signal,

……

Ronaldo scored a hat trick in this game,

It even won applause from Manchester United fans, home of England.

And when Manchester United almost lost hope of qualifying,

Xiaobei finally got the opportunity to play,

Ferguson replaced the mediocre Veron with him. (To be continued......)
