Chapter 155 Qualifying from the group

What surprised Bell was that Ferguson still didn't send him to play in Manchester United's game against Tottenham at Old Trafford over the weekend, let alone a starter. He didn't even make the bench.

After the game was announced on Friday afternoon, Ferguson called Bale into his office to explain the reasons for his arrangement. It's not because the transfer terms between the two clubs have avoidance principles, nor is it to avoid Bell's embarrassment facing his old club, but since the beginning of this season, Bell has played too many games, and he has to arrange for Bell to rest. It is also to ensure that the team wins the away game against Bursaspor next week. Manchester United needs to lock in qualifications for the group as soon as possible, or even lock in the first place in the group.

Bell didn't know how much of what the old man said was true or false, but no matter what, he obeyed the arrangement. Even if he plays in a game, at most he feels that it is a bit strange to play against his old club and will not refuse to play.

But now he can only spend this weekend with the team in the stands at home.

Before the game, Bell made a special trip to the visiting team's locker room to meet with his old teammates. Tottenham's lineup has not changed much from last season. In addition to missing him, there are a few more new players. However, most of today's new players were not included in the squad. Only Dutchman Van der Vaart took his place.

The old teammates were very happy to see Bell. Although they had occasionally contacted each other before, they had not really met each other since the start of this season.

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with Bell's departure. When Bell was there last season, the team's games would be very simple. In many cases, just give the ball to Bell and wait for victory. It's different now. It's not easy to win.

Although Tottenham are currently ranked 5th in the league, their results are not good. They only achieved 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in 9 rounds. The victory is not over half, and the points are 6 points less than the same period last season.

After learning that Bell would not start and was not even included in the game squad, Tottenham players were surprised and relieved at the same time. It's hard for them to imagine what it would be like to face Bell on the court, but when they think of Tottenham's opponents last season, they don't want to experience this feeling.

Bell was happy with everyone's performance at the time. He laughed and said that Manchester United is not his own team. His other teammates are also very good. Their game today will not be easy.

Tottenham players agree with this. In recent years, Tottenham's results against Manchester United have been terrible.

In fact, this is also true. Bell watched the entire game from the stands. Without him, Manchester United would also be in a situation of comprehensive crushing against Tottenham.

The final result of this game was 2:0. Manchester United did not give Tottenham any chance and achieved a complete victory.

In fact, if Manchester United's offensive players were slightly better at seizing opportunities, the result of this game would be very miserable for Tottenham.

Originally, Bell planned to treat his teammates to dinner in Manchester after the game, but they did not have time, because on Tuesday night, they will face the key group match against the defending Champions League champion Inter Milan at White Hart Lane. So Lao Lei asked the players to get back to London immediately after the game today.

Tottenham's current situation in Group A is not very good, with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the three group stage rounds, temporarily ranking second. However, the gap with Werder Bremen and Twente, which were third and fourth in the group, was far from locking in the qualifying spots in the group.

certainly,

If Bell went to talk to Lao Lei, he could keep them here, but considering that Manchester United would take a flight to Turkey early the next morning, he gave up the idea.

………………

Bursa is a city in northwestern Turkey and the capital of Bursa Province. It is located at the northern foot of Ulu Mountain. It was a military important place when it was ruled by the Byzantine Empire. In the 14th century, it was the religious and cultural center of the time. In the 17th century , one of the three capitals of the Ottoman Empire, the second largest city after Istanbul. The city now has a population of approximately 1.2 million, making it Turkey's fourth largest city.

This city is located on the ancient Silk Road. Sericulture was introduced from the east and is known as the Silk City. The snow melts in summer, providing sufficient water for the city. Agriculture is developed, with vegetables, fruits, corn and sunflowers planted. Mulberry trees are planted everywhere, making it known as Green Bursa. It is the center of the national textile industry, with cotton and wool textiles, silk weaving and carpet industries. Synthetic fiber production has developed rapidly in recent years. There are also industries such as food and machinery. There are railways and roads leading to the Marmara seaside, and there are fast ferries connected to the capital Istanbul. There are many mineral springs in the mountains and there are green mosques and historic sites.

And just as it entered November, Manchester United set foot on Bursa's soil. Two days later, they will challenge the home team Bursaspor here.

This is the fourth round of the group stage, and it is also a game that both sides are bound to win. Manchester United hopes to secure qualifying for the group with this victory, or even secure first place in the group, while Bursaspor wants to win for dignity. They have suffered three consecutive defeats before. If they lose this game again, they will not only be eliminated from the group stage. Being kicked out and losing four consecutive games will also make them lose face.

Although Bursaspor once launched two threatening offensives in the opening stage, they were quickly suppressed by Manchester United. The strength gap between the two sides was still obvious.

Especially in possession, the Red Devils had an overwhelming advantage. With the advantage of possession of the ball, Manchester United also frequently created threats.

First, Bell found Berbatov with a precise pass from the left, and the latter missed the header with a header. Then Nani launched an impact from the right and sent a cross, but was tackled by the Bursaspor center back, and Ever La made a pass from the left, and Vidic headed the ball wide.

It can be said that from the fifteenth minute of the first half, the entire situation was completely controlled by Manchester United. The Red Devils launched wave after wave of offensive attacks until Bursaspor was forced to retreat to their own half to defend.

However, Manchester United's arrowhead Berbatov didn't seem to be in particularly good condition. He got multiple shooting opportunities but failed to pose much of a threat.

Bell also had some chances, the best of which came from a header that went just wide. This made Bell feel very depressed, because this time it was mainly caused by his poor judgment on the timing of taking off. If you don’t jump well at takeoff, you won’t be able to exert any force at all, and it will be difficult to correct your position.

………………

In the 31st minute, Manchester United launched the most threatening offensive in the game.

The Bursaspor midfielder made a pass error, and Manchester United counterattacked on the spot. Scholes made a direct pass, and Berbatov's shot from close range was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the subsequent corner kick, Bell accurately found Vidic. Under Vidic's interference, the Bursaspor defensive player almost made an own goal by mistake and headed the ball into his own goal. Fortunately, he hit the post and saved his life.

Bursaspor goalkeeper Ivankov was almost scared out of his mind.

Under Manchester United's strong offensive pressure, Bursaspor's players frequently had problems, but they held on to the last line of defense and kept the goal.

Manchester United is playing more smoothly. Although it is still difficult to create good scoring opportunities, several long-range shots are still very threatening.

The operation of the midfield is still not smooth, but it doesn't matter. The two wings have become active, and the offense has improved.

The players' strength advantage on the field allowed Manchester United to easily suppress Bursaspor.

How good is Berbatov?

What about Bell's individual performance?

No one can be underestimated, which means that Bursaspor must invest enough troops to defend.

The more defensive troops there are, the less investment is needed in the offense.

Bursaspor's offensive forces are less invested, and Manchester United's defensive pressure will be less, so they can devote more forces to attack.

This is a dynamic balance on the court.

Everyone at Bursaspor is also very clear that the team's midfield and backfield can only barely block Manchester United's attack, and it is difficult to devote more troops to counterattack. But if Manchester United continues to attack like this, it will be a matter of time before they score.

However, although they knew it in their hearts, they were powerless. This was a crushing defeat in terms of strength!

Tottenham's current situation in Group A is not very good, with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the three group stage rounds, temporarily ranking second. However, the gap with Werder Bremen and Twente, which were third and fourth in the group, was far from locking in the qualifying spots in the group.

Of course, if Bell went to talk to Lao Lei, he could keep them here, but considering that Manchester United would take a flight to Turkey early the next morning, he gave up the idea.
