Football King Bale

Chapter 101: The Story of the Halo and the Bus

If someone asked Bale why he was so sure, he'd tell him it was because he'd seen this episode.

Yes, in another time and space, he witnessed this FA Cup final with his own eyes. Although Chelsea's opponent was Portsmouth at the time, he really watched this game.

Originally, Bell was also worried that the trend of the game would change if Chelsea's opponent changed from Portsmouth to Tottenham, but judging from the current ten minutes, the script is still proceeding according to the written plot.

Of course, Bell felt that Chelsea did not win the championship, and apart from him, the traverser, Ballack had to help take the blame. Who told this German star to have a runner-up halo, it is simply the best endorsement of a certain city in that eastern country.

In fact, Ballack won far more than three runners-up in his life. His first known runner-up came in the 1999-200 season. At that time, Ballack, who had grown into the core of Leverkusen's midfielder, emerged in the Bundesliga, and his runner-up fate began from then on.

After 33 rounds of that season, Leverkusen still leads Bayern by 3 points. As long as they don't lose to the underdog Unterhaching in the final round, they can win the first Bundesliga championship in club history.

At that time, no one believed that Unterhaching, who had been relegated early, would cause trouble for Leverkusen. But what is surprising is that in the 21st minute of the first half, Ballack scored his own goal, causing the team to fall behind 0:1. In the second half, Unterhaching scored another goal, and the incredible 2:0 defeated Leverku In another game, Bayern defeated Bremen 3:1 at home and tied Leverkusen's points with the victory in this game. In the end, Bayern beat Leverkusen with a goal difference. After winning the championship, Ballack created his first runner-up in this way.

Two seasons later, in the 2001-2002 season, Ballack's real "highlight" moment came, and he became the world-famous "Four Asian Kings".

In the 2001-2002 season, Leverkusen once again launched an impact on the championship. They still made a good start. With 3 rounds left in the league, Leverkusen still led the second place Dortmund by 5 points , People think that Leverkusen has basically won the championship, but it is incredible that they have suffered two consecutive losses since then, and were overtaken by Dortmund with two consecutive victories. Although Ballack scored two goals alone in the last round, helping Leverkusen Verkusen defeated Hertha Berlin 2:1, but the victory came too late. They could only watch Dortmund celebrate their victory, and the club still missed the first Bundesliga title in its century-old history.

In the German Cup competition, Leverkusen also entered the final with strong opponents such as Lianke Hannover, Munich 1860 and Cologne. However, facing the final opponent Schalke 04, Leverkusen once again exposed the old problem of losing the chain at the critical moment. Ballack also performed poorly. Although Berbatov and Kirsten each scored a goal, Schalke With one goal each from Bome, Agali, Moller and Sander, Erke beat Leverkusen 4:2 and became the defending champion. Ballack also savored his second runner-up finish of the season.

This season is undoubtedly the most glorious season in Leverkusen's history, because they have entered the finals of the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League this season. However, this is also the most bitter season in Leverkusen's history, because they all missed the championship in the end. In the Champions League, although Lucio scored a goal for Leverkusen, Real Madrid finally defeated Leverkusen 2:1 with Zidane's shocking volley and won the ninth place in the club's history. Champions League champions, while Ballack can only walk past the Champions League trophy.

In this summer,

The World Cup in Korea and Japan begins. Ballack, who was embarrassed by the "Sanya King" at the club, vowed to lead Germany to prove himself in the World Cup. In fact, his performance was indeed very good. With his goals, the German team was eliminated one after another with a score of 1:0. The United States and South Korea reached the final.

However, Ballack missed the World Cup final because of his yellow stain in the game against South Korea. In the end, he could only sit on the bench and watch helplessly as Ronaldo pierced Kahn's goal twice, and finally won In the Hercules Cup, Ballack just passed by his first national team championship trophy.

To win four runner-up titles within one year, this can be called the first person in the world.

What's more, this kind of experience of getting four runners-up in one year is more than once, because in 2008 six years later, Ballack once again experienced a "Four Asian Kings". This year, Ballack's Chelsea won three runner-ups in the League Cup, Premier League and Champions League, and then Ballack "strongly" won a runner-up in the European Cup.

As of last weekend, in Ballack's career, he has won fourteen runner-ups. Well, one of them was won this season, and that was the runner-up in the Premier League last weekend.

Perhaps, after this game, Ballack's runner-up record will increase to fifteen?

Bell gave a wicked smile.

………………

Although Ballack's runner-up halo made Bell happy for a while, he soon became unhappy because Tottenham were still under full suppression by Chelsea.

Gomez's goal kick, although Tottenham chose to penetrate the ground, was intercepted by Chelsea as soon as it passed to the midfield. Bell could only watch Malouda gallop on the other side from the left.

Malouda slammed into Kabul and sent a high-quality cross from the bottom. Anelka swayed Ledley King on the left side of the penalty area and shot, but fortunately Gomez concentrated and flew the ball Saved the near corner.

Two minutes later, Chelsea played another high-quality attack. In the end, this attack was fouled by Huddlestone in front of the penalty area. While stopping Chelsea's offensive, it also gave Chelsea a free kick in a good position.

This free kick was taken by Alex, who chose to attack directly. The ball went around the Tottenham wall, but Gomez became more and more courageous, flying in front of the goal line to catch the ball.

In this game, Tottenham's goalkeeper Gomez is simply superb. After saving Alex's inevitable free-kick, he blocked Drogba's two close-range attempts from the left side of the box.

Although Chelsea's offensive was raging, which made Tottenham a little exhausted, Gomez's continuous high-light performance made the Tottenham fans on the scene secrete adrenaline rapidly. The high-flying Chelsea fans matched it.

The consecutive must-goals were either blocked by Gomez or blocked by the goal post, which made the Chelsea players a little impetuous. Coupled with the continuous onslaught for 20 minutes, their physical strength reached a limit at this time.

Therefore, after Drogba's two shots were blocked, the morale of the Chelsea players dropped a bit, and Tottenham took the opportunity to fight back.

This time the counterattack was initiated by Tottenham's right. Because Bell's threat is too great, in this game, Chelsea's defense is heavily inclined to the left, which makes their defense on the right where Lennon is relatively empty.

And this time when Tottenham counterattacked, Modric unexpectedly distributed the ball to the right, and then Lennon sprinted along the touchline on the right. After passing Ballack who came to defend, he appeared in front of him. A large open area.

Ashley Cole had a deep assist just now, and he hadn't had time to return to the defense for a while.

Lennon sprinted with the ball at high speed, then broke into the right side of the penalty area and made a pass from the bottom. Defoe volleyed back to the goal from 12 yards away. Crouch's close-range shot from the edge of the penalty area was bravely saved by Petr Cech.

This save caused the Chelsea fans behind the goal to cheer loudly, but soon their cheers stopped abruptly, because the ball that was saved by Cech was kicked back again.

This time, Petr Cech, who had fallen to the ground because he had just saved Crouch's shot, had no strength to recover. The ball crossed a perfect arc and hit the dead corner of the upper corner of the far post.

It was Bale who shot!

In the counterattack just now, although the ball did not come to the left, he has been following up at high speed.

On the court, Bell has always believed in one sentence, that is, opportunities will favor those who run more. This idea allowed him to get a lot of shooting opportunities in previous games, and this game is no exception.

Tottenham's quick counterattack disrupted Chelsea's defensive formation, and then the ball flew back and forth in Chelsea's penalty area, which completely confused Chelsea's defense. As a result, Bell had a chance to hit the cat in the back and saved Petr Cech. The ball was volleyed back to Chelsea's goal.

………………

At the moment when the ball was sent into Chelsea's goal by Bale's curling kick, half of the new Wembley Stadium was fire and half was water.

The half of the stands occupied by Chelsea fans fell into complete silence. They really couldn't believe their eyes.

Just now, their beloved team pressed Tottenham and besieged for 20 minutes, which can be said to be rubbing Tottenham on the ground. It also formed many inevitable attacks, but was turned away for various reasons.

Then, a quick counterattack by Tottenham, which was also the first counterattack in the audience to attack Chelsea's penalty area, directly penetrated their defense and was scored.

At this moment, countless Chelsea fans have forgotten the counterattack tactics that have benefited them countless times in the past few years, and they are cursing loudly: "Damn the bus! Damn Tottenham!"

But half of the stands occupied by Tottenham fans exploded directly.

Just before the blink of an eye, their team was still being rubbed in the backcourt by their opponents, but in a blink of an eye, the team's counterattack pierced Chelsea's steel defense.

At this moment, countless Tottenham fans shouted from the bottom of their hearts: "The bus, my dear Chelsea bus, it's so adorable!"

The so-called ass decides the head, this statement has been perfectly demonstrated at this moment.
