Football King Bale

With four wins and one tie in five rounds of the new season, Manchester United scored 19 goals and conceded 7 goals. Manchester United is good enough, but they have not been able to rank first in the Premier League because the Blues have performed stronger. Ancelotti's team made a comeback this season after failing to compete for the championship last season. It started with a wave of five consecutive victories, scored 21 goals, but only conceded 1 goal.

Following the Blues and Red Devils is Arsenal. With three wins and two draws, they continued their unbeaten run. However, the Red Army Liverpool, who suffered a disastrous away defeat at the feet of the Red Devils, was a little embarrassed. They only scored 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in the first five rounds. They only ranked 16th in the Premier League and almost fell into the relegation zone.

However, the time is still early after all. In the long season, everyone still has enough time and opportunities to change their respective situations and positions in the league.

In the middle of the week, the third round of the League Cup came. Manchester United's opponent is the British Championship team Scunthorpe. The strength of this team is limited. After seven rounds of the British Championship, they only ranked 16th in the British Championship. Compared with Manchester United, which ranks second in the Premier League, there is a difference of 32 places.

Because there is still a league game on the weekend, and then they will go to Spain in the middle of next week, ushering in the most difficult match in the group stage - the away game against Valencia, so Ferguson did not hesitate to implement a big rotation, playing with almost all substitutes Scunthorpe. Many of the main players, including Bell, were not even included in Ferguson's 18-man squad for the game. They will stay in Manchester to take a good rest.

Even playing with a full substitute lineup, Manchester United's second team still won a big away game, beating Scunthorpe 5:2 and advancing to the fourth round of the League Cup.

In the ensuing fourth-round draw of the League Cup, Manchester United drew the Premier League team Wolves.

This is not a good opponent!

However, compared to Chelsea, who lost 3:4 at home to Newcastle in the third round, Manchester United has been considered lucky.

In this round of the League Cup, it is worth mentioning that the defending champion, also Arsenal, was drawn by Bell's old club Tottenham. The two sides drew 1-1 in 90 minutes. Arsenal scored two consecutive points in extra time. In the end, Tottenham had to swallow this miserable 1:4 defeat at home.

The defending champion was eliminated in his first appearance, which really made Bai Baihe a little embarrassed. Fans chanted Bale's name after the game to express their displeasure with the club.

………………

At the same time, there are still several Premier League teams that were eliminated early in the third round of the League Cup, including Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Red Army seems to have not yet recovered from the sorrow of the away defeat at the feet of arch-rivals Manchester United. In the game against Northampton, ranked 17th in the League Two, the Red Army at home drew 1:1 with their opponents in 90 minutes, and then Both sides scored a goal in extra time, and finally entered a cruel penalty shootout. As a result, Liverpool lost 2:4.

At that moment, Anfield was dead silent. Red Army fans can't imagine that their beloved team will lose when facing a relegation team in the second division!

You know, their ranking in the FA is 70 places higher than their opponents!

And the entire British professional league has only 92 teams!

It can be said that Northampton is already the lowest-ranked team under the FA to enter the third round of the League Cup, but Liverpool still lost. This is simply another lower limit in Liverpool's history.

Think of England's professional league as a grade in a school. There are a total of 92 students in four classes in this grade. There are 20 students in the top class of the Premier League, and their grades rank among the top 20 in the grade. The following three parallel classes are ranked according to grades, each with 24 students.

Judging from the current situation, Liverpool is ranked 16th in the top class, while Northampton is ranked 17th in the worst class of the three parallel classes, basically the bottom of the whole grade.

In the end, the two had a one-on-one exam, and the person in the top class actually lost. Can you believe it? !

You know, Liverpool is the most successful team in the League Cup. They have won the League Cup 7 times in their 49-year history. As for other teams, the most championships won is only five times.

So, for the first time at Anfield, there was a call for Hodgson to dismiss get out of class.

Even in the 2:5 away defeat to rival Manchester United, the Red Army fans who were eager to return to the Champions League stage did not call Hodgson out of get out of class, but now they have lost to the League Two relegation team, the Red Army fans can no longer bear it.

Compared with the embarrassment of Liverpool being eliminated from the League Cup, Manchester City's exit was a little more decent. They lost 1:2 away to the Premier League's newly promoted West Brom.

………………

In fact, seeing the fall of Liverpool, Bell felt a little sad, because he thought of how similar the situation of Manchester United in the past few years when he traveled through, and how similar it is to Liverpool today. Being reduced to a bully that is bullied by adults, he has become the best target for other teams to break various embarrassing records, refreshing the various lower limits that Red Devils fans can't imagine.

Of course, as a Manchester United player, Bell at the moment is at most emotional, but not sympathetic. Now he only hopes that he can continue the glory of the Red Devils with his own ability as much as possible.

What needs to be done now is to win the next Premier League opponent, Bolton. This is very important for Manchester United, because as long as they win Bolton, they can reach the top smoothly.

In the first game of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea, who were eliminated by Newcastle in the League Cup in the middle of the week, continued their downturn. They visited Manchester City Stadium and were finally smothered by Mancini's team 1-0. defeat.

Arsenal, which started the game immediately after, also performed poorly. They played against the newly promoted West Brom at home. After a goal battle, they lost 2:3 and also suffered their first league defeat.

As a result, Manchester United has become the only team that continues to remain unbeaten in the league. Even, if they can win Bolton, they will be at the top of the league standings for the first time this season.

Although Bolton's strength is limited, although the Red Devils have an absolute advantage over Bolton's historical record, and even though they will go to Spain in the middle of next week to challenge the strongest opponent in the Champions League group, facing the temptation to reach the top of the league, even if it is only the beginning of the season, Ferguson still decides to do his best. main force. Berbatov, who scored a hat-trick last week, partnered with Rooney as a striker, Scholes and Fletcher joined hands to guard the midfield, Nani as a right midfielder, Bell still appeared on the left, four defenders Evra, Evans , Vidic and O'Shea, goalkeeper Van der Sar. Owen, who scored twice in the League Cup in Scunthorpe in midweek, and veteran Giggs and others came off the bench.

Bale, who scored twice against Liverpool last weekend, was given two chances to draw. In the end, by choosing the best team of the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League and the best team of the 2002 World Cup, he got the experience cards of Ronaldinho and Beckham respectively.

In this game, Bell finally decided to use Beckham's experience card. Because he feels that when Bolton faces Manchester United, he is likely to use an iron barrel. Beckham's free kick will become a big killer for him in the game.

………………

After the start of the game, Manchester United turned away. According to Ferguson's arrangement, Manchester United hopes to solve the game within 45 minutes, and then replace some of the absolute main players to prepare for the Champions League away game against Valencia in midweek.

Bell was very active on the left. In just two minutes of the game, he made a very beautiful breakthrough on the left, and then passed an inverted triangle pass back to the upper left corner of the penalty area to find Rooney. Rooney made a precise oblique pass, Berbatov did not choose to cross from the right edge of the penalty area, and his shot from a small angle went directly wide.

Manchester United chose to attack after the opening, but did not achieve the desired result. On the contrary, the home team Bolton scored the first goal and made a perfect start.

In the 6th minute, after topping Manchester United's opening onslaught, Bolton played a successful quick counterattack. Kevin Davis made a cross and was cleared. Li Qinglong's shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Evra and then missed the left post. Then Martin Petrov took a corner kick, and Knight, who was unguarded, blocked the shot with his foot sideways on the edge of the small penalty area. The ball hit the inside of the right post and went into the net.

The result was disappointing for United, who held Bolton at half-court friction for the first five minutes. Several shots failed to produce results. Instead, Bolton threatened with a counter-attack and then took the lead in a corner kick.

This goal greatly increased the confidence of the Bolton players. They even gave up the iron barrel tactics and fought against Manchester United. The two sides came and went, and the sparks of the fight flew everywhere. Bolton players are in good condition today, and their technical and tactical level is definitely not like that of a mid-to-lower team in the Premier League.

However, this kind of confrontation is Manchester United's favorite. What they are most worried about is that Bolton will shrink back and defend in front of the goal after taking a one-goal lead. In that case, it will be really too difficult for Manchester United.

However, in this kind of fast offensive and defensive transition, Berbatov, who was slow, seemed a little out of step with the rhythm, but fortunately, the other three players in Manchester United's frontcourt all had good speed. Especially Bell, who is extremely fast, looks like a fish in water.

United scored shortly after falling behind to tie the score at 1-1.

In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United intercepted the ball in the backcourt. Scholes sent a precise long pass over 40 meters in front of the penalty area, and found Nani, who was on the right side of the midfield. As soon as the Portuguese received the ball, he was surrounded by Bolton's midfielder. He didn't mess up, but immediately passed the ball to Rooney in the middle.

Rooney was also followed by two Bolton defenders, unable to advance forward, he passed the ball to the front of the right again, Fletcher stepped in and caught Rooney's pass, and passed back from the bottom of the right to kill. Bell, who entered the penalty area, shot low from 12 yards and pierced Jascolainen's wicket.
