Football King Bale

Not only was Ferguson angry, but even some pro-Manchester United media were angry at the way Manchester United players wasted opportunities.

The "Manchester Evening News" stated very directly in their report that Manchester United players are committing a crime by wasting opportunities like that!

In the "Manchester Evening News" report, a series of data were also listed to illustrate how wasteful Manchester United's frontcourt attackers are.

Before this game, Manchester United had a total of 194 shooting opportunities in the Premier League this season and scored 35 goals. The opportunity-to-goal conversion ratio was as high as 18%. After the game, this number was directly lowered by two percentage points, suddenly reduced to 16%!

This is all thanks to the staggering shooting data provided by the Manchester United players: they shot 50 times in the whole game, but only scored 4 goals, and the conversion rate in a single game was a pitiful 8%!

Especially after Bell assisted Hernandez to score Manchester United's fourth goal of the game, Manchester United completely sealed the victory and also allowed Manchester United's frontcourt attack group to completely let themselves go.

In the next 22 minutes, plus injury time, which was 25 minutes, the Manchester United midfielder led by Bell and Scholes created 32 shooting opportunities for Manchester United players, but the result was not. Manchester United brings even one goal!

This is also the direct reason why Ferguson's face was so dark near the end of the game.

After the game, when Ferguson attended the post-match press conference, although Manchester United had achieved a four-goal victory, there was still only one person who received his praise, and that was Bell, who contributed 1 goal and 3 assists. It can be said that Bell alone directed Manchester United's victory. All four of the team's goals were directly related to Bell, which illustrates this point well.

Ferguson even bluntly stated that if Manchester United's attacking players were a little normal, Bell would have received at least 10 assists in this game.

………………

Of course, what Ferguson liked most about Bell was not his assists, but his shooting. He told reporters: "You only need to give him one chance and he will score a goal for you!"

What impressed Ferguson most about Bell was his ability to seize those fleeting opportunities.

Although Martinez said eloquently before the game that he would not specifically arrange anyone to mark Bell, in fact, during the game, he still invested a lot of energy in defending Bell. This can be seen from the fact that Bell only got three shots in this game. Even when there were only 9 people left on the Wigan field, once Bell approached the Wigan penalty area, there were still at least two people to guard Bell.

It was Bell who took away too much of Wigan's defensive attention, which allowed Manchester United players to get nearly 50 shooting opportunities.

But despite this, Wigan still failed to prevent Bell from scoring. In the 56th minute, he received Fletcher's through ball, went to the meeting alone, deceived Wigan goalkeeper Al Habusi and succeeded in pushing the ball.

This is Bell's 13th league goal this season, and he has only played 13 times in the Premier League. In other words, he maintains a scoring rate of one goal per game in the Premier League!

If calculated based on playing time, this efficiency is even more terrifying, because his Premier League playing time reached exactly 1,000 minutes after this game. In other words, it only takes him less than 77 minutes to score a goal.

in addition,

Bell's total number of shots was only 43, and only 26 were on target, but he scored 13 goals. This is quite an efficiency.

Looking at the data of other Manchester United scorers, Nani, who scored 4 goals, had a total of 58 shots and 17 shots on target. Berbatov also spent 41 shots for those 6 goals. Not to mention Rooney, it took him 18 shots to get his only goal.

In the Manchester United team, the one who is relatively close to Bell in terms of efficiency is actually substitute Hernandez. The Mexican only played 593 minutes after 14 rounds, with a total of 23 shots and only 6 shots on goal. , but there were 4 goals.

………………

The three assists sent in this game also brought Bell's assists in the Premier League this season to 6. This not only made Bell top the Premier League assists list again after ascending to the top of the Premier League scorer list, making him a representative of all-round players.

At the post-match press conference, Ferguson believed that Bell's comprehensiveness was fully capable of playing in the center of the frontcourt. In the absence of Scholes, he really couldn't think of anyone more suitable for this position than Bell. , and this is not the first time he has pushed Bell into the middle.

"Bale played a key role in the frontcourt. He used a wonderful game to prove to the world his versatility. He can send wonderful passes with both feet, and he can play in any position in the frontcourt. Threat, no one can guard against him."

"Look at this game, Bale can be like Kaká. After retreating to get the ball in the middle, he suddenly dribbles the ball forward at high speed; he can also dribble the ball from the left and cut in and pass down the bottom as he usually does. But at the same time, he can dribble the ball from the right and attack the opponent's defense like Messi."

"In the last assist, he single-handedly dribbled the ball through Wigan's entire defense, and then assisted Hernandez to score a long shot."

"In this game, for Wigan's defenders, Bell was unstoppable. He completely changed his playing habits. He did not have a fixed position, nor was he restricted to the wing or the center, but was free in the frontcourt. Movement, winger, forward, attacking midfielder... He can do whatever he wants, without restraint, and at the same time, he is amazingly powerful."

"Faced with such a top star, Wigan's defenders seemed at a loss and didn't know how to defend him. They couldn't keep up with Bell's rhythm and pace. They allowed him to seize opportunities again and again, with three assists and a goal. The goal was Bale's humiliation of the Wigan defenders."

"Manchester Evening News" also believes that Bell not only won the victory in terms of performance, but also did not disappoint in terms of magnanimity.

"In the goal he assisted Hernandez, Bell could have fallen to the ground due to Figueroa's foul, but he still chose to dribble into the penalty area, which reflects a player's sportsmanship. In this game, Wigan also fouled Bell by kicking him many times, but Bell never got discouraged or lost his mind."

At the end of the article, the "Manchester Evening News" believed that this was a game that belonged to Bell. It was a classic event that could be called the pinnacle of Bell's career. It was also the highlight of Bell's victory that once again shocked the world.
