I am the king of football

Chapter 445: Memory Lasts Forever
The game officially kicked off with a long whistle from the referee. Compared with the strong opponents Manchester United has encountered this season, West Bromwich Albion is really not a top team. Although their players were ready for the game because it was the team's last home game, their inner uneasiness was still very obvious.

"West Bromwich Albion used a 451 formation at home. Facing a strong opponent like Manchester United, they did not dare to be careless at all."

As Zhan Jun's voice sounded, Manchester United, who chose the right to kick off on the field, began to control the ball and move forward to attack.

When Scholes and Giggs used a beautiful two-pass combination to get past the oncoming opponent's striker, the cheers from the Manchester United fans at the scene became deafening.

For the Red Devils, the difficulty of this game mainly depends on when they can make their opponents realize the gap between the two sides and give up resistance, and that moment is not too late.

In the 15th minute of the game, when the ball possession rate of both sides reached a frustrating 82 points, Manchester United's advancement had already penetrated deep into the heart of the Thrush's midfield.

When Nani on the left was double-teamed by two players and managed to break out by bending his body, four Manchester United players had already arrived in front of West Bromwich's back line.

"Keep moving forward. The home team has to send a defender to block Nani. Their defensive strength is already stretched to the limit. Pass the ball with the outside of the foot! Nani kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Qin Hu jumped high to head the ball!"

"Shu~"

With a flick of the tiger's head, the ball flew away from two defenders who were ready to block Qin Hu's shot. When the falling ball reached the penalty area line, Scholes arrived in time.

"Oh!"

"Scholes, just shoot!!!"

Just like the countless times in his career when the ginger-headed player took long shots to help the team score, when the ball left his feet, the top midfielder's excellent footwork made the ball rush to the blind corner of the opponent's goal.

The Thrush goalkeeper standing in front of the goal made a save, but there was nothing he could do about the shot in this absolute blind spot.

"It's a goal! In the 17th minute of the game, Scholes scored with a long shot. What a wonderful goal~"

"Ginger head! Ginger head! Oh oh oh ~"

Zhan Jun shouted loudly, and the Manchester United fans at the scene also began to shout Scholes' nickname repeatedly. The nickname "Ginger Head" that Scholes was called when he was still a teenager was clearly heard by the 40-year-old man at this moment.

"Whoo~"

The emotional ups and downs that came with scoring the goal were not as great as hearing such shouts and seeing the fans' farewell banners. Scholes took a breath and couldn't help but tear up.

At the age of seventeen, this thin young man came to Manchester United. At that time, he was full of fantasies about this place and started his life as a professional player with the dream of becoming a superstar.

A year later, he won the FA Youth Cup with Giggs, who is still with him, and David Beckham, who has passed away.

That was the first championship trophy he won for Manchester United. Although he won many more important championships in his long career as a Red Devils, that trophy was the highest in his heart. In the following 23 years, Scholes gave Manchester United his best youth and the most energetic first half of his middle age. Now, it was time to say goodbye. How could he not feel reluctant?
The players on the field hugged Scholes one after another, and everyone was full of respect for this veteran who had accompanied the team for so many years.

When the game started again, it was clear that everyone was trying their best to feed Scholes the ball so that he could drive the team's attack, and he did not disappoint the team as always.

In the 30th minute of the game, when Scholes made a magical pass from the top of the penalty area that penetrated the opponent's entire defense line, Qin Hu, who had already started moving, came to the ball. This young man, who has broken a series of records with a crazy attitude since his rise this season, once again completed the linkage with the oldest predecessor in the team.

"Oh!"

"Qin Hu shot the ball directly! The ball went in!"

The simple and neat handling resulted in another goal. After scoring the ball, Qin Hu quickly rushed to Scholes and gave him a tight hug, followed by other Red Devils players who surrounded him.

"This game was more of a farewell poem written by other players to Scholes than a final match for Manchester United."

Looking at the scene on the field, Zhan Jun couldn't hold back any longer. When he was just a fledgling commentator, Scholes had already appeared on the field. Now, this veteran who had been accustomed to appearing in the Manchester United lineup had come to say goodbye.

2-0, when Manchester United was leading so much and their opponents formed a 451 defensive formation, the outcome of the game was actually no suspense.

The coach of West Bromwich Albion, who was opposite Manchester United, was also aware of this. When the game started again, the home team's formation directly changed from 451 to 433. They no longer stuck to defense but tried hard to threaten Manchester United's goal.

At the beginning of the first day, this move really brought a lot of pressure to Manchester United. However, after the ball was brought to the threatening area by the Thrush forward, Manchester United's starting defense line taught them a good lesson.

"With decisive attack and clear command, Manchester United's defense line has returned to its peak. Vidic and Ferdinand were in full swing in this game."

Seeing Vidic directing the defense to block all attacks from the opponents, Zhan Jun knew that it was a foregone conclusion that Manchester United would become the first Premier League team in history to win the championship with 100%.

The first half ended with a score of 2-0. After the start of the second half, Manchester United's midfield and backcourt had completely become accustomed to the changes in the opponent's formation and playing style, which left the Thrushes with no means of threatening Manchester United.

In the 3th minute of the game, Manchester United's lucky star Rooney got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and rushed into the penalty area and shot directly into the goal, making the score 0- without any suspense.

After the game reached the 80th minute, Qin Hu, Scholes, Vidic and others were substituted one after another. The fans gave them applause and cheers. Naturally, Scholes, who was determined to retire after the end of the season, received the most applause.

When the 90-minute game came to an end, the referee decisively blew the whistle to end the game. In this way, Manchester United ended their Premier League campaign this season, and they finally achieved the achievement of 100% championship.

When the players surrounded Scholes and waved to their fans, the memory of this game was destined to remain in Scholes' heart forever.
