Football King Bale

Chapter 168 Concussion

I only saw Bell carrying the ball and constantly approaching Foster. The Rangers right back kept retreating. He is also buying time. As long as Hatton in the midfield waits for his teammates to come over and double-team him in time, Bell will be finished.

But Bell had known this for a long time. When Foster retreated to the penalty area line, Hatton was almost there.

But at this moment, Bell, who had been dribbling the ball slowly and slowly, suddenly dunked the ball towards the center, looking like he was dribbling the ball laterally along the edge of the penalty area.

This is a great opportunity!

Hatton and Foster made moves at the same time, intending to double-team him one after another. But when Foster just made the move, Bell suddenly pulled the ball with his left foot and the ball circled behind him. Rolling towards the bottom line, his whole body also changed direction and rushed forward as fast as possible.

When Foster adjusted his center of gravity and turned around to catch up with Bell, he was already one position behind. Bell quickly made a pass with his left foot and sent the ball to the back point.

The ball drew an arc, passed Berbatov and two Rangers central defenders in the middle of the penalty area, and fell to the back point.

Nani, who was at the back, was a little slower to react by half a beat. Although he finally caught up with the ball and made a shovel shot, trying to send the ball into the goal, he still hit the side netting and failed to score.

The whole stadium was filled with boos, which was the Rangers fans' vent after being frightened.

The Portuguese winger was so remorseful that he hit the turf hard, and the head coach Ferguson on the sideline was so angry that he jumped up.

What a great opportunity. No one was defending. As long as I caught up and hit the right spot, the goal was scored. But the result...

Berbatov gestured in front of Bale, indicating that he should pass the ball to him instead of to the back.

"I just saw that Will blocked you and passed it to you. He must have cleared it." Bell explained to the Bulgarian forward who was born in White Hart Lane like himself.

Today, the Rangers deployed a five-back formation, with three central defenders facing two Manchester United forwards. This can ensure a personnel advantage. It is difficult for Berbatov and Rooney to encounter defensive gaps in the penalty area.

When walking back, Bell did not forget to glance at Foster nearby and sneered again. The Rangers' right back could only stare at Bell fiercely, but the roar of head coach Smith on the sidelines could be heard in his ears.

Before the game, Smith asked him to stick to Bell every step of the way. He did a good job most of the time, but he still grabbed the opportunity. This guy was like a loach and couldn't catch it.

………………

In the Rangers' coaching area, the Rangers' assistant coach looked at Bell who kept running on the court, frowned and sighed: "What a troublesome kid!"

Smith nodded slightly. Although he did not answer, he agreed with the judgment of his right-hand man. He said: "That kid is super fast, runs very actively, and is very smart. He often runs to open spaces to catch the ball, no matter what. Whether he presses in the frontcourt or retreats to defend, he is very proactive. It is difficult to guard such a player."

This somewhat exculpates Foster, but Smith feels that what he said is more of the truth.

The assistant took over the topic and said: "It's not terrible to run, as long as you don't let him get the ball easily."

Bell's strengths lie in speed and frontal impact, but stopping the ball is his weakness.

As long as Foster pays attention to following him, members of the Rangers coaching staff believe that Bell's threat can be reduced to a minimum or even no threat.

Smith said: "I just received a kick from Foster. I originally thought that this kid would be a little timid, but I didn't expect that he is still a tough guy. Instead of showing timidity, he showed more courage. He just took the ball and pressed forward step by step. Foster was in a very embarrassed state. If he hadn't been saddled with a yellow card, Foster would have killed him long ago. But it seemed that the kid knew this very well. I even guessed that he was eager for Foster to take action. Busaka I have been keeping an eye on Foster and am planning to find an opportunity to find a balance and compensate Manchester United."

When defensive players carry yellow cards, they are fighting in shackles, with constraints everywhere, which is very inconvenient.

The referee did make a mistake at that moment, but he will press harder in the future. As long as Foster or Rangers have trouble again, he will not hesitate to take action to make up for the misjudgment against Manchester United just now. the losses caused.

Just like in the second minute of the opening game, Busaca missed a penalty that Manchester United should get. In the next ten minutes of the game, Busaca's penalty was more favorable to the visiting team Manchester United.

………………

However, for the Rangers, what they need most right now is to score and take the lead. Manchester United can accept a draw, but not Rangers.

Today, Manchester United has a 12-point lead with four consecutive wins and has advanced to the knockout rounds two rounds ahead of schedule. Valencia ranks second in the group with 7 points, while Rangers has 4 points. Bursaspor has lost four consecutive games and is at the bottom. It has been completely eliminated.

If they can win Manchester United at home, then in the final round, as long as they can win Bursaspor, the weakest team in the group, and then Manchester United defeat Valencia with a big score at the Theater of Dreams, they will be able to rely on a net win Advance with ball advantage.

Although this possibility is very small, there is always a hope, right?

Therefore, he has to strengthen the offensive power on the field and fight in the last few minutes.

Smith turned around and said to his assistant: "Let Beatty warm up quickly and get ready to play."

When the Rangers assistant coach walked to the bench to see Fleck, Smith turned and looked back at the court.

At this time, Bell suddenly ran back from the frontcourt to the midfield, raised his hand and asked Carrick for the ball.

………………

The players on the field also felt it clearly. After fighting for nearly an hour and a half, their physical fitness was almost exhausted. The rhythm on the field gradually slowed down. Even the fans of the two teams in the stands began to shout a little. Moved.

Manchester United was in possession of the ball, but Rangers still maintained pressure from the midline, making it difficult for England's largest club to send the ball upfield.

As soon as Carrick got the ball, he was immediately interfered by Naismith. Just when he was thinking about passing it back to his teammates on the back line, he suddenly saw Bell running back from the front and raising his right hand to ask for the ball. His running route happened to be misaligned with Naismith's pressing, and he could pass it out.

Of course, Carrick didn't hesitate anymore and immediately passed the ball to the ground, sending the ball directly to Bell's feet.

Stopping the ball and turning around, Bell seemed to have expected that there would be no defensive player behind him.

As soon as he turned around, Bell immediately rushed forward with the ball. Hatton, who was closest to him, ran over first, with right back Foster behind him.

Bell didn't wait for Hutton to get close, quickly passed the ball across the ball to Anderson's feet, and immediately sprinted forward as fast as he could.

As soon as Anderson stopped the ball, he immediately saw Bell sprinting and felt Hatton approaching quickly. He immediately passed the ball over the top and sent the ball directly to the front for Bell to chase.

………………

The Manchester United fans in the stands were also startled by this sudden change and cheered uncontrollably.

Although Bell had the advantage in speed and more energy, there was still some distance between the two just now, and Foster was obviously a very determined player. He was chasing after him desperately, and there were secret pulling movements in his hands. But Bell couldn't care about these anymore. His only thought now is to catch up with the ball.

Although he didn't look up, he could clearly judge the trajectory and landing point of the ball. After this year of competition training, he had a very strong feeling about his speed, and he felt that he could catch up.

But Foster is right next to him. How can he stop the ball after catching up?

Foster is right next to him. If Bell stops at his feet, he will be directly entangled by Foster. Therefore, Bell decided to stop the ball behind him. At least there was no defensive player behind him at this time, giving him more room for error.

The whole idea took a long time to say, but in fact, in a split second, Bell reacted, judged the trajectory and landing point of the ball, kicked out his left foot first, faced the falling football, and subconsciously controlled his The angle of the sole of the foot and the calf.

Soon, Bell felt the weight of the ball from the soles of his feet. The ball hit Bell's soles during the fall, changed direction, passed over the right side of Bell's shoulder, and fell between him and Foster.

This sudden change made Foster, who was the first to bear the brunt, bewildered: What the hell is going on? How could this kid stop the ball like this?

But obviously Bell did not leave him enough reaction time. After stopping the ball, Bell quickly stopped and changed direction.

Foster also reacted quickly, changing from the original sprint to an emergency stop. While turning around and changing direction, he also reached out to pull Bell. He could not catch the ball no matter what.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Foster's hand reached out, Bell suddenly threw out his left hand with force, slapped his hand directly with a snap, and slapped his entire right hand away.

At the same time, Foster's foot suddenly slipped again, and he lost his balance and fell to the grass. He watched helplessly as Bell caught up with the ball, dunked with his left foot, and led the ball into the penalty area.

………………

At that moment, Ibrox Stadium was filled with exclamations, and the Rangers fans felt that something was wrong.

In the media area, the commentators also raised their voices and shouted.

"Nice stop!"

"On the left wing of Manchester United, Gareth Bale made a very good stop and got rid of Foster!"

"Let's see how he handles it this time..."

"Facing Rangers center back Will, the Welsh youngster unexpectedly made a pendulum pass, but he did not pass by and passed back to the front of the penalty area..."

"Rooney comes up and knocks on the door..."

"The angle was too right and goalkeeper McGregor blocked the ball..."

"The ball did not fly far and was still in the penalty area..."

"Bell..."

………………

When the ball blocked by McGregor flew towards him, Bell was suddenly stunned.

too suddenly!

He originally thought Rooney had scored, but he didn't expect McGregor to save it and the ball flew towards him.

At that moment, his entire mind suddenly went blank, and he just subconsciously stopped the ball with his foot. The ball was not powerful, and Bell stopped in front of him.

At that moment, he felt as if the air around him was condensed, and everyone's movements became very slow.

He could see Rangers center back Will turning around. He had pounced on Berbatov just now. Now he reacted and turned around to pounce on Bell, but he was really slow.

McGregor, who was lying on the ground, was shouting something and slowly retracted his hands. He should be trying to get up.

And Naismith, who had been staying in the middle, was rushing toward him fiercely, raising his leg high.

As for Foster behind him, he had just gotten up from the ground at this time. He had just slipped and fallen, which must have been serious.

Countless fans in the stands showed disbelief. The Red Devils fans who had traveled thousands of miles to Scotland were surprised, while the home team Rangers fans were frightened. They were obviously frightened by the sudden change.

In front of the Rangers coaching bench, Smith roared with a ferocious face, as if to say, stop him!

Ferguson's eyes widened on the sidelines, obviously surprised, but his mouth should be shouting, "Shoot!"

All of this rushed into Bell's mind crazily at that moment, and then he suddenly woke up, quickly kicked out his left foot and kicked the ball in front of him.

However, the moment Bell's foot touched the ball, Bell felt something hit him in the face. Then he felt a spin and his body fell on his back.

Then, all kinds of complex flavors, sour, sweet, bitter, salty, spicy... all poured into Bell's sensory world.

He felt that his teammates were running towards him quickly, with anxious looks on their faces.

He saw Naismith nervously saying something to the referee, and referee Busaka was holding a red card in his hand.

On the sidelines, the team's head coach Ferguson was blushing and roaring at the fourth official, while Rangers coach Smith was arguing about something.

Manchester United's team medical team was carrying a stretcher and running towards their direction...

Bell felt that team doctor Rob Swell ran up to him and asked something loudly, but he couldn't hear it. In his mind, he only heard the "buzzing" noise all over the world.

Bell tried hard to get up, but he felt like his nerves had lost control of his behavior and he couldn't move.

Rob Swell stretched out an index finger in front of Bell and asked: "What is this?"

Bell hesitated for a moment. At this moment, he felt as if Rob Swell was using the legendary Tathagata Palm. There were shadows of fingers everywhere in front of him, and he said inarticulately: "Two?"

Rob Swier shook his head and said to his assistant: "Concussion!"
