Chapter 189 Eric is not a bad guy (Please subscribe)
"You bunch of idiots, you sons of bitches, you'd think my grandma was playing soccer on the field, damn it..."

Graham launched into a tirade of abuse at the players on the field.

He knew that Lu Deyang was likely to score if he came on.

But Arsenal is all about headers. If you let someone score a header just 3 seconds after they've entered the game, you've really humiliated them.

Graham seemed to have found an outlet, and even the fourth official couldn't stand it anymore and had to go to the sidelines to persuade him.

"Forget it, buddy."

Winterburn tried to calm the disgruntled Boulder down, saying, "The boss is just under too much pressure; he doesn't mean to insult us."

Boulder snorted and said, "If you can yell at players just because you're under pressure, then I might as well be a coach."

Adams smiled to himself.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable facing Lu Deyang today.

Lu Deyang jogged back while stretching his body.

Van Persie is a winger by trade, and his technique is also quite outstanding. He can do a lot of things.

Facing Arsenal's defensive formation, he's ready to do something interesting.

Since his good friend Redondo didn't make an appearance, he had to make the connection himself.

I wonder if the professor will get any inspiration when he sees Manchester United pass the ball into the goal.

Apart from Gillespie, everyone on the field has some passing ability, which is why Lu Deyang had this idea.

Alan Smith passed the ball to Wright, and Lu Deyang jogged forward.

Wright showed no intention of dribbling past anyone and immediately passed the ball back to John Jensen, who quickly passed it to Carter on the left wing. Clearly, they thought Beckham was easier to deal with.

Beckham, whose position in the first team is not secure, seems to be like an ostrich in heat, completely disregarding the consumption of physical energy. After failing to make a successful tackle on the first attempt, he turned around and started chasing back.

Jimmy Carter had good explosiveness, but Beckham caught up to his side and rear just a few meters later.

Sensing something was off, Carter quickly passed the ball across to Smith.

Smith received the ball with his back to goal but was blocked by Steve Bruce, making it impossible for him to turn around.

Seeing David May preparing to press, Alan Smith quickly passed the ball back.

McGoldrick waited for the ball in place, and Paul Ince seized the opportunity to rush up, hook the ball away, and turn and run.

"Deyang!"

Ince called out that name the moment he passed the ball.

He sent a through ball directly with his right foot.

Lu Deyang started the engine smoothly, and Wright, who was not slow, started the engine as well.

However, Lu Deyang flicked the ball with his left foot to his right foot, and immediately stopped the ball with a step on his right foot.

Wright, who mistook it for a fried dough stick, almost tripped and fell.

click -

At this moment, Lu Deyang flicked the ball outward with his right foot, and Wright moved accordingly.

When Lu Deyang pulled back, he still fell to the ground because he couldn't adjust his center of gravity.

Whip your tail!
As soon as Steve Morrow came up to help defend, Lu Deyang immediately launched a forced breakthrough.

He dribbled the ball past him and drove off.

"Deyang!"

The away fans in the stands excitedly chanted Lu Deyang's name.

In his presence, the Arsenal defenders seemed paralyzed.

Knowing someone was chasing him, Lu Deyang made a low cross down the wing, the ball bypassing Lee Dixon and reaching the center.

After Cantona and Winterburn both fell to the ground and touched the ball, Seaman successfully gained possession.

"Penalty! Penalty!!!"

Cantona stood up, slapped his arm hard, and shouted.

Winterburn's hand touched the ball as he fell, which brought him to a stop.

The referee looked at the linesman, who could only shake his head.

The two people falling to the ground happened too quickly.

"It wasn't a penalty."

the referee said.

"Damn it!"

Cantona cursed.

Winterburn said to Cantona, "It's not that easy to win a penalty."

This remark enraged Cantona, who immediately went up to push him.

Fortunately, Beckham reacted quickly and caught Cantona from behind.

Upon seeing this, Lu Deyang ran over and stopped Boulder and Adams, saying, "Tell your teammates to stop provoking us."

"us?"

"Boulder asked."

"Could it be us?"

Lu Deyang asked.

Adams immediately pulled Boulder back from refuting his argument.

"Let's go, the referee probably didn't see it."

Lu Deyang advised.

Cantona turned and glared at Beckham.

If this kid hadn't held him back, he would have kicked Winterburn right away.

He's not just someone who talks the talk.

Ferguson clenched his fists, trying to control his anger.

He believed that Lu Deyang would continue to change the score, and it was not worth scolding the referee at this time, as getting a card would affect the rest of the game.

He is not afraid of anything else.

The concern is that Brian Kidd won't be able to adjust the players on the court.

Ferguson always kept one substitution in mind, ready to replace Lu Deyang at any time.

Arsenal launched another attack from their own half.

Both full-backs began to push forward.

Adams received the ball on the left wing, and Beckham rushed up to him.

Tony Adams failed to pass the ball immediately and could only carry Beckham forward.

There is a significant difference in their physical strength, but Beckham will catch up again as soon as he is left behind.

His positive performance today impressed many Arsenal players.

Finding no opening, Adams turned and passed the ball back to Boulder, who immediately launched a long pass into the penalty area.

David May jumped first, outjumping Alan Smith to head the ball out of the penalty area, and Ince then passed it to Gillespie.

Before Gillespie could pass the ball, McGoldrick tackled him from behind.

beep—

The referee showed a yellow card this time.

However, this obviously cannot satisfy everyone.

In the stands.

Manchester United youth team coach Harrison shouted at the players on the field: "That's a red card, a UEFA red card, a foul from behind, do you want him to kill my player?"

Even Ferguson couldn't help but look towards the stands.

Harrison is the coach in that Class of '92 group photo.

After Ferguson arrived at Manchester United, he told him that the youth team needed to provide more players for the first team. Harrison didn't care much and just asked Ferguson to find some good prospects for him.

Then Manchester United's scouts tripled, and then came the story of the Class of '92.

Gillespie, a versatile Welsh player, is one of the best players in the youth team and a target of Harrison's attention.

Brian Kidd, on the other hand, prefers Scholes from Manchester because he is a local and the Busby kid firmly believes that local players are the cornerstone of the team.

As Manchester United players approached, referee Kelvin Morton warned, "I have already made my decision."

"But it's controversial, isn't it?"

"Steve Bruce asked."

Morton pointed at Gillespie and said, "At least he's not injured."

"Shit."

After swearing, David May said, "That was a foul from behind, what does it have to do with getting injured?"

"This is England!"

Kelvin Morton said.

The meaning is clear: UEFA's regulations are UEFA's.

Bruce swung his arm violently.

This is the first time I've felt that the British league is fucking awful.

"I'm fine."

Gillespie stood up and said.

Bruce shook his head and walked back.

Ince passed the ball to the right wing. Kanchelskis was clearly not in good form today. Someone in front of him was affecting his performance. He had only dribbled the ball a few meters before Adams intercepted it.

Arsenal captain's 45° cross was quick, and Alan Smith's header in the penalty area was successfully blocked by Schmeichel.

"Corner kicks are Arsenal's favorite part of the game; they are the team with the second-most corner kick goals in the Premier League."

"Jimmy Carter took the penalty, and at the far post... McGoldrick equalized!!! This defensive midfielder became Arsenal's hero after receiving a yellow card."

Ferguson snatched the towel from Kidd and threw it on the ground, then stomped on it a few times, still not satisfied.

This goal conceded left the Manchester United players very unhappy.

Especially Bruce and David May.

McGoldrick should have been sent off long ago.

Both men were panting as they watched the Arsenal players celebrating in the corner flag area.

“Relax, buddy,” Lu Deyang said.

How can I relax?

Bruce countered with a question.

Lu Deyang put his left hand on his shoulder and said, "If you don't like what they do, don't become like them. It's just one ball; we'll get back at them soon enough."

Bruce stretched his neck and shrugged his shoulders.

We can't just take our anger out on Lu Deyang.

If he actually did that, he suspected that the striker with 45 goals in 51 games would rush onto the field and beat him up.

"Those cowards."

Keane looked at the field and cursed, "If I were on the field, that McGoldrick would already be on a stretcher."

Pilkington said with a smile, "Perhaps you'll be able to play a bigger role today."

Keane glared at him fiercely.

After the restart, Cantona quickly passed the ball to the left wing.

Lu Deyang ran straight up to meet the ball, leading Rice to wander around in their own half.

Seeing his teammates being outmaneuvered, McGoldrick quickly pushed forward.

At this moment, Lu Deyang turned around and lobbed the ball to Kanchelskis.

Kanchelskis received the ball and charged forward from behind Beckham, but Arsenal's defense quickly moved to his side, and Kanchelskis was double-teamed by John Jensen and Adams.

Unable to use his speed to get past his opponent immediately, Kanchelskis was forced to pass the ball back.

McGoldrick tried to steal the ball again, but Ince rushed up quickly, received it, and passed it forward. Cantona, without stopping the ball, made a backheel pass.

Lu Deyang quickly passed the ball across the field, and Cantona turned and passed it to the right wing. Beckham, who was making a forward run, quickly charged forward with the ball.

The continuous teamwork drew cheers from the away fans in the stands.

With no one marking Beckham, he could calmly observe the situation in front of the penalty area.

Between Cantona, who was trailing behind, and Ludjohn, who was next to Winterburn, he still chose to chip the ball towards the edge of the penalty area with his right foot.

Snapped--

Winterburn misjudged the ball's trajectory and could only awkwardly turn around and stretch out his leg. The ball bounced off the ground a dozen centimeters behind him and landed at Lu Deyang's feet.

He quickly braced himself with his hands and launched a sliding tackle, completely disregarding the fact that he was in the penalty area.

However, Lu Deyang, who was prepared, deftly flicked and hooked the ball with his left foot, causing Lu Deyang to miss the target.

Steve Boulder also misjudged the location.

Boulder tried to move his feet to block again, but Lu Deyang had already turned and kicked to the side.

boom--

With a right-footed instep curler, the ball flew directly towards the far corner. David Seaman had no chance to make a save and could only turn his head and watch the ball glide past the right post and into the goal.

After scoring, Lu Deyang turned and ran towards the away fans' stand in the corner flag area, jumped up and raised his arms passionately.

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

At this moment, more than 1800 Manchester United fans became the masters of Highbury.

Their voices filled the entire stadium.

David May looked at Bruce and said, "I think you should buy Dejan a drink; he said he'd score and he really did."

Bruce smiled and shook his head.

Oh shit.

Others say I'll score, and maybe I'll find an opportunity to score in this match.

Lu Deyang said that if a goal is scored, it means a goal will be scored directly from the next kickoff!
Bruce recalled the terror he felt when they were rivals and could only sigh that Lu Deyang was truly terrifying.

Winterburn took Boulder's hand and stood up, saying, "Thanks, buddy."

"That guy is tough to deal with; he just fooled me with his eyes."

Boulder said.

Winterburn rolled his eyes.

If they were easy to deal with, they wouldn't be so feared by all the defenders.

“We have to play even if they’re tough, we can’t help it, can we?” Lee Dixon said.

Boulder gave him the middle finger.

The difference between being aligned and not aligned is vast.

Dixon wasn't there during the last two attacks, so of course he's making it sound easy.

"Alright, let's be careful."

Tony Adams said.

If they lose too badly, they won't be able to explain themselves.

Fortunately, the coach's condition hasn't been good lately, so Graham will probably take the blame if anything goes wrong.

Therefore, they do not experience as much psychological pressure.

Previously, Arsenal players had great respect for Graham.

But things changed after I found out he was taking money.

After all, this is a transfer, and they were given two terrible teammates.

No one would be happy in that situation.

If your colleagues are bad, your work pressure will be even greater; this is the same everywhere.

Ian Wright strolled lazily to the center circle and stood next to Smith.

Immediately following the whistle, he struck horizontally with his foot.

Smith received the ball and quickly passed it back.

Many forwards like to break through as soon as they receive the ball, but Smith doesn't have that ability. His tall stature limits his running ability and agility. Not every 1.9-meter forward is Zlatan.

McGoldrick first observed the situation with his right foot, but then decided to pass to the left wing.

Jimmy Carter attempted another strong drive past Beckham.

The two of them really went head-to-head today.

This time he failed. Beckham had mastered his rhythm, and at the crucial moment, he turned and stretched out his foot, poking the ball directly out of bounds. "Well done, David!"

Ferguson clapped and shouted from the sidelines.

Beckham smiled, revealing his canine teeth.

"That guy is really smug today."

"Bart said. Scholes' eyes darted around."

He doesn't talk much, but he has plenty of clever ideas.

He often pranks his teammates from the youth team.

I wouldn't dare to do that in the first team.

Adams ran up and threw the ball inbounds, and Jimmy Carter caught it and charged straight into the penalty area.

At that moment, Bruce made physical contact with him, and Carter fell to the ground in the paint.

Beep—The referee points to the 12-yard box.

Manchester United players rushed forward quickly.

"Isn't there something wrong with this penalty? Even in other leagues, such slight physical contact wouldn't be awarded as a penalty."

"Morton's calls today were completely biased towards the home team, Arsenal, so it's no wonder the Manchester United players were so agitated. Bruce went up to try and fight Carter, and John Jensen pushed Gary Neville down... The referee upheld his decision, but gave Bruce, Jensen, and Carter each a yellow card."

"Ferguson was also warned by the referee for his emotional outburst; the game is getting more and more heated today."

"That's really not good news. Ferguson might replace Dejan soon."

Lu Deyang has returned to the edge of the penalty area.

Schmeichel was making final preparations in front of the goal.

Lu Deyang actually had some ideas, but he still didn't say anything to remind Schmeichel.

He wasn't very familiar with Carter either.

It would be bad if it affected Schmeichel.

Just standing there, Schmeichel exuded enough presence.

The Highbury fans remained silent.

The away fans were making noise to distract Carter from taking the free throws.

As the whistle blew, Carter took a running start and then kicked out with his left foot.

Schmeichel turned sideways and tipped the ball over the right post with both hands, successfully saving the opponent's penalty!
"Well done, Peter!"

"That was a brilliant save! They tricked us into giving them a penalty!!!"

"Well done, Peter!!!"

Lu Deyang also gave a thumbs up.

Schmeichel laughed and cursed, "You bunch of bastards better perform well on the next corner kick, or I'll kill you when we get back to the locker room!"

The 2-1 scoreline on the field still worried him a bit.

Even if Lu Deyang continues to score, as a defensive player, he can't keep causing trouble.

The match was forced to stop before a corner kick could be taken.

Some disturbance occurred in the stands.

"Manchester United fans mocked Arsenal for failing to convert a penalty, and both sets of fans threw objects at each other. Players from both teams went over to mediate at the referee's direction."

"Today's match was full of various elements, and Arsenal, in 12th place, made the game very suspenseful with the help of the referee."

"Jimmy, Jimmy..."

Martin Taylor said with a hint of helplessness.

This partner is becoming increasingly unrestrained.

Jim Beglin had previously joked that Charles hadn't received many complaints, which surprised him somewhat.

However, if you talk about the referee like that, the FA and the disciplinary committee will definitely find fault with you.

After persuading the fans, Lu Deyang simply didn't return to the backfield.

They stood near the center line, waiting for a counter-attack opportunity.

There was constant friction between the two sides inside the penalty area.

Steve Bruce and Tony Adams are old rivals; they've practically fought each other.

Seeing this, the referee quickly went over and warned, "Watch yourselves, or you'll get a red card and be sent off."

The two then separated.

Carter took another run-up and delivered a corner kick, sending a swarm of people jumping up at the near post.

However, neither side managed to head the ball.

Schmeichel jumped up in the middle and threw a single punch, but failed to hit the ball.

Ian Wright attempted a sneak attack, but Gillespie poked the ball away and was then kicked down by Wright.

The referee was about to blow the whistle, but seeing the ball at Manchester United's feet, he decided to take another look.

Paul Ince dribbled forward, and McGoldrick had already caught up with him.

Ince then passed the ball across to the right wing.

Beckham took the ball, dribbled a couple of steps to observe the situation, and then swung his right foot again.

The ball traveled from the right flank of the backfield straight to the left side of the penalty area. Winterburn, who was chasing back, caught a glimpse of Lu Deyang and knew something was wrong. He wanted to quickly close in and win the first touch.

But the ball was delivered so accurately and quickly that it landed right in front of Lu Deyang before he even reached him.

Based on experience, Winterburn accelerated, trying to rush in front of Lu Deyang.

It's normal for the ball to stop several tens of centimeters away when it's high, which allows for a chance to steal the ball.

But at that very moment, Lu Deyang immediately assumed a fighting stance, stepped forward with his right foot, and then smoothly pulled his left foot out.

Soaring through the air?

boom--

The loud noise confirmed Winterburn's guess.

David Seaman didn't have enough time to retreat into the penalty area, and he could only try to block the ball by turning to the side, but he still couldn't stop it, and the ball went into the right side of the goal.

"Goal!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"Dejan has scored another hat-trick. This pass was 52 meters long, but Dejan put the ball directly into the goal without stopping it. My God, his ball control is truly amazing."

"But for Dejan, this doesn't seem to be a big deal. It's worth noting that today, the young David Beckham, after scoring his first Champions League goal earlier, also provided a hat-trick of assists in this match. We are really seeing a winger rising up."

"Perhaps in the near future, we'll see Beckham and Dejan flying side-by-side!!!"

He covered his head with both hands.

While his teammates rushed to celebrate, Beckham did this.

He simply couldn't believe what was happening today.

He hadn't even realized it was an assist hat-trick until Gary Neville reminded him.

Three assists?

This made him feel somewhat unreal.

Although I'm confident in my passing skills, it's just ridiculous that my teammates score every time I pass to them.

Even in the youth team, assists weren't this easy to come by.

After a brief silence, Beckham excitedly ran towards Lu Deyang, and even gave a two-finger peace sign to the cameras.

For a young player, this match has exceeded his expectations.

This might be the greatest game of his career.

……

Graham and Ferguson both returned to the coaching bench.

One reason is that the overall situation has already been decided.

The other is that they have given up hope of winning the game.

The referee was very lenient today, yet the game still turned out like this. Is there anything we can hope for next?

We can't keep asking for penalties.

He himself felt like he was diving when he took that penalty kick.

After thinking for a moment, he still had the players get up and warm up.

The fact that he was substituted at least shows that he is still making his own efforts for the game.

Arsenal played the game as if they were already in the lead, with no intention of attacking at all.

It's likely that the Arsenal players also wanted to hold onto this score and end the game directly.

Time was running out; Lu Deyang and Beckham came on after 70 minutes.

At least the fans will have some satisfaction if they lose to fewer teams.

They kept passing the ball around in their own half. McGoldrick was a step too slow when he passed the ball, and Lu Deyang rushed up and slid in with his right foot to poke the ball behind the opponent.

Cantona never expected this.

However, he reacted quickly, taking possession of the ball, turning and protecting it in one smooth motion, and then quickly passing the ball back to the advancing Kanchelskis.

Kanchelskis received the ball and surged down the right flank, using his speed to overwhelm Tony Adams.

This Russian international's speed is no less than his technique.

He continued down the wing into the penalty area, forcing Steve Boulder to cover for him.

Winterburn knew something was wrong the moment he glanced to the side.

Damn it, Cantona and Ludjohn were both behind him. After 0.01 seconds of thought, the defender in the middle of the five-man defense chose to run forward.

Because he felt that the ball would most likely go to Lu Deyang, and that he couldn't defend against it!

Then let's just leave it to Dixon; if we lose the ball, it won't be his problem.

Dixon stood in the middle of the penalty area line, with Steve Morrow on his right.

Kanchelskis delivered a curling cross from the right side of the penalty area, the ball sailing over Dixon's head and heading directly to the left side of the arc.

Steve Morrow then noticed Lu Deyang, who had moved forward.

Oh shit.

He rushed forward and tried to kick out, but Lu Deyang was faster.

He leaped into the air with his right foot, and with a triple jump, swung his left foot out and kicked the ball from below.

boom--

Heman, who had just been at the right pillar, returned to the middle and saw this scene, which almost made his heart jump out of his chest.

Seaman's diving save was quick, but the ball was too tricky, causing him to miss and slip through the gap between the post and the crossbar into the goal.

Soaring through the air, soaring through the air again!
Lu Deyang, who scored the goal, ran all the way to the away fans' stand in the corner flag area and interacted passionately with the fans.

Ferguson, sitting on the coach's bench, jumped up from his seat and waved his arms in a passionate celebration.

"Did you see that, Brian? You saw it, didn't you?"

Ferguson shouted excitedly.

Brian Kidd nodded vigorously.

Holy crap, that's incredible.

Today, Lu Deyang's shots, except for the one that required him to dribble past a defender, didn't require any adjustments at all. No matter what kind of ball came in, he would volley it in the air, giving the opposing defenders and goalkeeper no time to react.

After the two celebrated excitedly, Ferguson looked towards the substitutes' bench.

He beckoned to Ryan Giggs and extended his hand, saying, "Warm up, Ryan!"

Giggs took off his training jacket and walked to the sidelines.

It feels like just yesterday that Ferguson personally drove to their house to persuade them to choose Manchester United over Manchester City.

However, now that the team has a stronger player on the left flank, he has gone from a future star to a future substitute.

The difference is considerable.

"Dejan changed the score again with his fourth goal of the day, and Arsenal were completely killed."

"Yes, there are still 3 minutes of stoppage time left. Arsenal should not be able to score another goal. At this point, it would be good enough if they could avoid conceding more goals."

The two commentators clearly saw that the Arsenal players had lost all fighting spirit at this point.

Graham substituted Paul Merson for John Jensen.

This gesture still drew applause from some of the home fans.

As a former prince of Highbury, Merson is not in good condition after undergoing alcohol rehabilitation in the hospital.

However, some fans still have expectations when they see him.

Arsenal chairman Peter Hillwood stood up in the stands, looking very disappointed.

Unexpectedly, the team's proud defense was completely breached.

They had previously strongly supported Graham and even used their connections with the FA to ensure he wasn't punished, mainly because they had high expectations for his performance.

It seems Graham is doomed to be out, so let's find a replacement and kick him out as soon as we find one.

After that, what the FA does is none of his business.

"William, who do you think would be a good coach for us?"

Hillwood asked.

"Currently, all the coaches in the UK are Scottish, but there are differences among Scottish coaches. I think we might be able to try other coaches."

William Chapman said.

"The others, the Irish coach?"

Hillwood smiled and asked in return.

Coaches who work in the UK are mostly from the British Isles.

"No, I saw someone say that Ferguson stole his contract. He originally wanted to sign Dejan, the Frenchman's record seems to be pretty good."

Chapman said, "I'll look for the newspaper when we get back."

"Let's talk about it later."

Hillwood shrugged.

He didn't care so much when he heard that the man was French.

Can a French coach manage an English team?

It would be better to hire an Italian; at least they'd know how to defend.

Just as they were about to leave Highbury, they heard a commotion behind them.

Hillwood and Chapman couldn't help but stop and turn around.

Damn it, it's Manchester United attacking again!

It's not very clear from a distance, but you can tell by the direction of the attack.

On the field, Gary Neville intercepted the ball and quickly passed it diagonally to Ludwig. Ludwig quickly passed it to Beckham and rushed forward. Beckham then flicked the ball forward, but Kanchelskis ran past him and flicked it back in mid-air with his heel.

This action drew cheers from the away fans in the stands.

"This action is quite normal for Dejan; clearly, Dejan's hot form has excited the Manchester United players."

Facing the ball coming from the air, Lu Deyang chested it up and passed it diagonally.

Cantona turned his back and flicked the ball into the penalty area with his heel.

Gillespie rushed into the penalty area and immediately crossed the ball. Lu Deyang rushed between Winterburn and Dixon, turned with his back to the goal, and flicked the ball to the left side with his right foot.

boom--

Seaman gave up on the idea of ​​making a save as soon as he saw the ball's trajectory; it was impossible for him to make a save from the far corner while standing close by.

Sure enough, the ball got caught in the net on the right side.

Seeing this, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"A goal achieved by making eight consecutive passes from the backfield. Today, Manchester United showed us the ultimate individual heroism without forgetting teamwork. It was simply a matter of passing the ball into the goal."

"This match was full of controversy, but Manchester United's victory was undeniable. Dejan's five goals in a single Premier League game for the first time in his career became the footnote of this match, ensuring that Arsenal will never be forgotten."

"David Seaman, England's goalkeeper, should perhaps consult Hilton on the most appropriate attitude to take when facing Dejan."

"Graham's team suffered another crushing defeat. It's uncertain whether the Arsenal board will still support him, but judging from the reaction at Highbury, the fans have probably had enough."

Shouts of "Graham OUT!" rang out from the crowd.

This scene felt incredibly familiar to Lu Deyang.

Perhaps they should rent a helicopter to fly the banner.

Graham didn't even attend the post-match press conference; perhaps he's no longer afraid of the FA.

Following the match, the British media launched a barrage of mockery.

Two days later in the 23rd round, Manchester United made extensive rotations but still easily defeated Cardiff City 2-0.

On the day of the FA Cup third round, Andy Cole indeed joined Manchester United, and the match against Sheffield United was also a narrow 2-0 victory.

Norwich and Ipswich were unable to stop Manchester United's advance.

However, on January 25, Cantona was sent off with a red card after committing a retaliatory foul on opponent Richard Shaw.

Just as he was walking off the pitch, a Crystal Palace fan rushed to the bottom of the stands and shouted at Cantona: "French bastard, all you can do is use these kinds of tricks, you don't even know who your father is."

Cantona took a running start almost without hesitation and delivered a flying kick.

On the bench.

Gary Neville asked, somewhat surprised, "What do we do? Will we be suspended?"

Lu Deyang shook his head and said, "Eric isn't a bad person..."
