Football King Bale

This season, Bell not only did not experience the sharp decline in scoring data that many media said before, but instead bucked the trend and rose. He can be called the most powerful offensive player in Europe.

In the 12 Premier League games he played, Bell scored 13 goals and provided 6 assists, as well as 2 penalty kicks and 1 own goal. Individual goals account for more than half of Manchester United's 39 league goals.

Not only that, Bell was equally efficient in the Champions League. He scored in all four group matches, scoring a total of 8 goals and an assist.

Moreover, in the Welsh men's football match, Bell's performance was equally amazing. In the three European Cup qualifiers, he scored 3 goals and added two assists, helping Wales rank second in the group G, which was surrounded by wolves. hope of qualifying for the group.

In addition, he also scored a goal in the warm-up match of the Welsh men's football team.

In other words, since the beginning of this season, Bell has participated in 20 games in various official competitions, scoring a total of 25 goals and 9 assists!

And if the scope is expanded to the entire 2010, Bell's number of goals has exceeded the 50-goal mark. This is the first time since former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2003 that a player has scored more than 50 goals in a calendar year.

In the second half of the previous season with Tottenham, Bell played 26 times in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, scoring a total of 25 goals and 7 assists.

Although Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the waste of opportunities by Manchester United players on the court, he was still satisfied with the results of this round of games.

The victorious Manchester United has unknowingly achieved a six-game winning streak in the league. Since the two consecutive draws in the Premier League around the international break in October, Manchester United has not lost a point in the Premier League.

This six-game winning streak not only allowed them to overtake Chelsea from 1 point behind in the Premier League standings, but also expanded their lead to 8 points!

There are four other games taking place at the same time as Manchester United's game, including Chelsea's away game against Birmingham.

After an unexpected 0:3 defeat at home by Sunderland led by former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce in the last round, Chelsea is already five points behind Manchester United in the Premier League standings. Therefore, this round of competition has reached a critical juncture for Chelsea where they have to win. After all, if they are nearly 10 points behind Manchester United when only one-third of the schedule is over, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to announcing that they have withdrawn from the competition for the league title early.

However, serious injuries prevented Chelsea from being favored by the media before going to Birmingham. "The Sun" conducted an analysis before the game and believed that the current Chelsea team is extremely lacking in fighting spirit. This is mainly due to the current football team. There is no leader in the team.

In the Chelsea dressing room, Lampard and Terry have absolute say. Often when the team is in a disadvantageous situation or unable to open a situation, their encouragement of morale and leadership on the field are absolutely indispensable. Neglected, but now that the two of them are not on the court at the same time, it will be difficult for Chelsea to organize a counterattack once they fall into passivity.

………………

Unfortunately, the "Sun" was right. Chelsea indeed lacked enough fighting spirit and courage after being led by their opponents. They became more and more impatient in the face of the opponent's iron barrel formation.

Losing the game against Birmingham gave Chelsea their fourth defeat in just 14 rounds of the league.

This is another poor performance for the team since the 2000-2001 season, when Chelsea lost 5 games in the first 14 rounds of the league. Since the 2001-2002 season, Chelsea has never lost more than 2 games in the first 14 rounds of the league, and there have been 3 seasons where the Blues have only lost 1 game.

Although Chelsea can maintain their second position in the standings after losing their fourth game, they are already 8 points behind leader Manchester United.

Moreover, it can be seen from Chelsea's current high spirit that it is not easy for the team to get rid of the current downturn. This makes it difficult for them to chase Manchester United, which has recently won six consecutive league wins.

In addition to creating the embarrassment of having the most losses in the past 10 years, Chelsea also ended their record in England's top league after losing to Birmingham. The 0:1 loss to Birmingham caused Chelsea to suffer a losing streak. This league ended Chelsea's impressive record of 165 consecutive games without a losing streak in the English top league since its inception in 1888.

On April 14 this year, Chelsea defeated Bolton Wanderers 1:0 at home, breaking the previous record of 147 unbeaten league games held by Manchester United for nearly 122 years. After half a year, their record stopped being refreshed.

………………

After this game, many British media reported that the Premier League championship this season has been lost to the Red Devils. This is not only because Manchester United leads Chelsea by 8 points after 14 rounds, but also because Manchester United is still leading the league. Arsenal in third place has a full 10 points!

Wenger's Arsenal ushered in the first leg of this season's North London Derby in this round. Arsenal led 2:0 in the first half. This season's second and leading scorer Nasri and Chamakh scored successively. After the start of the second half, new aid Van der Vaart became the biggest hero of Tottenham's comeback. The first-time Golden Boy Award winner not only assisted Joe Cole and Kaboul to score goals, but also personally took the penalty kick and made a handball foul from Cesc Fabregas.

This was the first time Arsenal lost to Tottenham at home in 17 years. This was their fourth defeat in the league this season and their third defeat at home.

………………

Both major competitors have made consecutive mistakes recently, which gives Manchester United, which has performed steadily, a chance to take the lead. In this regard, at the post-match press conference, Sir Alex Ferguson told reporters in an interview: "If you ask me if I am satisfied with the result of the team leading Chelsea by 8 points (after 14 rounds), I will give you a yes. reply."

Although he didn't win much in the battle with Wigan, the key points were achieved, especially in the absence of Scholes. Bell, who took over the hub of Manchester United's offense, completed the task very well. He transformed Manchester United's offense. Well organized.

For this game, I am afraid that only Manchester United's attacking group wasted the scoring opportunities created by Bell that made Ferguson frown.

Ferguson's other words after the game also aroused heated discussion in the British media. He said this: "We are able to lead Chelsea by so much. In addition to thanking Bale for his outstanding performance, I also have to thank Ben for his contribution to us."

The Ben Ferguson refers to is Birmingham's starting goalkeeper Ben Foster.

Birmingham defeated Chelsea 1:0, the goal scorer was Bowyer, but the performance of one person played a key role in the home team's ability to defeat the leaders at St. Andrews Park, and that was Ben Forth. Specially, after the whole game, Ben Foster, who just left Dream Theater in May this year, had a total of 9 high and low blocks, whether it was Drogba who returned from injury or Alex, who had good scoring luck. Or Ivanovic, Chelsea players tried every possible means to attack the goal, but there was only one result: in vain.

Due to his surprisingly good performance, "Sky Sports" even gave Ben Foster a rare 10-point praise after the game and exclaimed: It's incredible!

But to be honest, it is not too surprising that Ben Foster can play at this level. So far this season, he is currently at the top of the Premier League saves list with 64 saves, and he has only conceded 17 goals. goals, ranking 13th on the goals conceded list, so Ben Fortes' performance is no accident.

Ben Fortes came from Manchester United. As a member of the former Red Devils, when he played against Chelsea, he would naturally work harder. In fact, he did save the country through curves today. After the end of this round, home 4: Manchester United, which defeated Wigan Athletic 0-0, is already 8 points ahead of Chelsea in the standings. If it weren't for Ben Foster's efforts to keep Chelsea clean, Manchester United would not be so far ahead.

………………

But what is very interesting is that in the past two league rounds when Chelsea suffered consecutive defeats, apart from Ben Foster, other Manchester United contacts can also be seen.

When Chelsea unexpectedly lost 0:3 to Sunderland at home in the last round, it was former Manchester United striker Welbeck who scored the third goal for the visiting team, and the "Black Cats" coach Steve Bruce was a former Manchester United striker in the 1990s. Meritorious captain of Manchester United. In addition, the away midfielder Richardson, who played very hard in this game, also came from Manchester United. He handed over a 100% success rate in steals throughout the game and committed as many as 3 fouls, even when he was not involved. In terms of attacking goals that he is good at, Richardson also completed 4 times.

It is difficult for Chelsea not to feel depressed when so many Manchester United contacts test the joy of winning in their own team. However, it is also important to note that apart from the bad luck, the Blues themselves also have many problems.

The sudden firing of Wilkins, the club's meritorious assistant coach, was very destructive to the team. The absence of many key players including Terry and Lampard due to injuries also had a strong negative effect. Compared with these Well, another problem Chelsea has is that they are a bit frivolous.

After losing to Sunderland last weekend, Malouda declared: "No matter what people say, we are still ranked second in the Premier League. This kind of result against Sunderland is very normal in the Premier League."

The same point of view has been repeatedly emphasized by Ashley Cole and others, and he also added: "Who said Chelsea are too old?"

It couldn't be more obvious that when a team that is currently in poor condition keeps claiming that it is "still second", the appearance of this voice can only be understood from two angles: either it is unlimited confidence, or it is a false mentality.

Through the past two games, it is difficult to find something like self-confidence from Chelsea. On the contrary, it seems a bit difficult and anxious. The more you want to prove that you are strong enough, the more the reality is tit-for-tat. A headache faced by Celotti and his generals.
