Football King Bale

Chapter 169 Elimination

Bell, the person involved, did not know what happened in the flash of lightning just now, because at that moment he had lost the ability to judge things due to a concussion.

But not far away, other players from both sides, coaches on the sidelines, and many spectators in the stands saw everything clearly.

Just now, in order to prevent Bell from shooting, Naismith used a high-leg interception action, but he did not expect Bell to be so fast and kicked the ball away first.

By the time he realized that he couldn't intercept the ball, it was too late to stop his kick, and he ended up kicking Bell firmly in the face.

However, at the last moment, he finally made a move to close his feet, and Bell had an instinctive avoidance. This way, the spikes of the sneakers did not hit Bell's league, but the tip of the shoe came into contact with Bell's face. Otherwise, no one can imagine what the result will be like.

But despite this, Bell was kicked directly to the ground and fell into a concussion state for a while.

Manchester United's team doctor Rob Swirl provided emergency treatment to Bell, but Bell was still carried off the field on a stretcher, and instead of being carried to the sidelines for treatment, he was carried directly out of the stadium and sent to the hospital.

Bale was taken off the field by Naismith, and Ferguson had to replace him with Park Ji-sung. At this time, it was only seven minutes before Bell appeared on the stage. He was substituted in the 77th minute, but was forced to leave the game with a concussion in the 84th minute.

However, Naismith also paid a huge price. The referee Busaca directly showed him a red card and awarded Manchester United a penalty kick.

His foul action was too rough and bad, so even though the Rangers players pleaded with the referee and argued that Naismith was rushing for the ball, Busacca had no intention of changing the penalty.

………………

Because Bale had been taken off the field on a stretcher, the penalty naturally fell to Rooney. Rooney lived up to expectations and steadily put the ball into McGregor's hand.

1:0!

The final score of this game also remained at this score. In the subsequent games, Manchester United players played a little cautiously, while the Rangers were unable to change the score because there was one less player on the field and their strength was at a disadvantage.

In the end, Manchester United won a penalty kick with Bell taking a huge risk, and Rooney made a penalty kick to kill Rangers.

Manchester United, which had won five consecutive group stage matches, secured first place in the group as expected and joined hands with Valencia, which beat Bursaspor 6-1 at home, to advance to the Champions League knockout rounds.

The last game at home against Valencia has become garbage time.

However, the winning Manchester United people did not feel happy at all, because Bell was kicked by his opponent and suffered a concussion. He was immediately sent to the local hospital for treatment.

The good news is that news soon came from the hospital that Bell only suffered a slight concussion and a slight injury to his eyebrow bone. With a little treatment, he will be fine and it will not even affect his performance at the Dream Theater on the weekend. Go out and play.

However, after returning to Manchester, for safety reasons, Ferguson still did not arrange for Bell to play in the weekend league. In the end, Bell could only witness a crazy weekend in the stands.

Of course, with him was his girlfriend Rosamund Pike, who had just returned to England from the American Empire on the other side of the Atlantic.

I learned that Bell was injured,

Rosamund Pike put aside her affairs in the United States and flew back to Manchester overnight. She felt relieved when she saw that Bell was indeed fine.

………………

It really was a crazy weekend, a real goal feast!

Thanks to Skrtel's two goals, the Slovak central defender's scores and own goals in the first and second half made the Premier League create a history, that is, every team failed to keep a clean sheet record in a single round. Of course, with Lennon's stoppage time The winning goal also confirmed that 20 teams have joined forces to create a record of all scoring in the same round.

BBC reporter Jonathan Stevenson said in a live text: "You know, when I get older and tell my grandson what I do, I will talk to him about the past few days. I have broadcast live broadcasts for you many, many times, but this weekend is indeed worth recalling..."

Starting from Arsenal's 4:2 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday morning, the Premier League has set off wave after wave of goals, and has a strong tendency to catch up with others and surpass them. Among them Manchester United, sitting at home at Old Trafford, even beat Blackburn Rovers with a disparity of 7:1.

He scored 36 goals in 8 games on Saturday, averaging 4.5 goals per game, which is really not low. In the remaining two games on Sunday, Newcastle and Chelsea shook hands 1:1, which means that Manchester United can not only secure the top spot in the standings, but also only play 15 rounds in the Premier League. The points gap between the first and second places has widened to double digits. !

As a result, White Hart Lane received more attention. When Skrtel scored in the first half, all 10 visiting teams in this round completed the task of scoring. This is also the fourth round of the 2008-2009 season. Once again, all visiting teams in the same round were able to attack the home team together, but this time Blackburn's bad game, which defeated the Gunners 0:4, resulted in the defect that only one of the 20 teams failed to score. Although Tottenham, which stood at a historical juncture this time, missed a penalty kick, they relied on Skrtel's own goal to make up for the gap and set a record.

When Lennon scored in stoppage time to beat Liverpool, the total number of goals in this round reached 41, thus tying the post-reduction Premier League single-round record set in the 26th round of the 1997-1-2004 season.

Do you still remember the situation of the standings after 10 rounds? At that time, Chelsea led with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 25 points, followed closely by Manchester United with 7 wins, 3 draws and 24 points. Arsenal ranked third with 20 points. And the London Blue Lions, who have only conceded 3 goals after 10 rounds, still have a goal difference of 24, while the Red Devils only have 18 goals.

However, when the league reached November, Chelsea suddenly lost its rhythm, and the past five rounds became a turning point. Manchester United has won five consecutive games and has a 14-goal difference, becoming the team with the strongest momentum this month. Bolton, the closest team to them, only had 3 wins and 2 draws.

In sharp contrast, Chelsea only scored 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, scored 4 points, scored 2 goals and conceded as many as 7 goals. It only ranked 17th among the 20 Premier League teams. It was just a comparison. Everton, Wolves and Fulham only grabbed 1 more point.

Chelsea and Arsenal also lost 4 games early, both trailing Manchester United by 10 points. Everything is developing in a direction that is not conducive to the London duo. Who can compete with Manchester United for the championship?

………………

After a tiring journey in the Champions League, Manchester United returned to the Premier League and delivered such a hearty victory. Manchester United is indeed the toughest and most patient team in the Premier League.

Especially this was a wild victory when Bell, the team's strongest firepower, missed the game due to injury. This also alleviated the increasingly strong "Bell dependence syndrome" in the media to some extent.

Although Ferguson has never admitted that Manchester United suffers from "Bale dependence syndrome", he knows in his heart that Manchester United's dependence on Bell was indeed too great in the past period. This is not a good thing for a team with great ambitions.

Manchester United's 7-1 victory over Blackburn at home also announced to their Premier League title rivals and the entire Europe that the Red Devils in top form are back, so be careful!

After Manchester United won this game, their unbeaten record in all competitions was extended to 29 games, and the Premier League has won 4 consecutive games at home.

This is also the first time in three years that Manchester United has scored a big score of 7 goals. The previous one was a 7:1 home victory over Serie A powerhouse Roma in the Champions League quarter-finals on April 10, 2007.

More importantly, this victory helped Manchester United lead the second-placed Chelsea and third-placed Arsenal by 10 points in the Premier League standings, leading the Premier League with a goal difference of 32, compared with only 19. Chelsea, who won, scored 13 more goals, 17 more than Arsenal, who had a goal difference of 15 goals.

Goal, averaging close to 3.1 goals per game. No team in Europe can compete with the crazy Red Devils, not even Real Madrid, the Galactic Fleet, and Barcelona, ​​known as the Cosmos Team. The latter two are all about Goal, averaging no more than Just 2.75 goals.

A week ago, Barcelona's La Liga visit to Almeria set a huge score of 8:0, while Real Madrid also scored a huge score of 5:1 during the same period.

However, compared with the low competitiveness of the two teams in La Liga, the Premier League is a dragon and a tiger's den. Blackburn is commonly known as the "violent club" and has never been good at it. Therefore, the Red Devils achieved such a great victory against the violent club and will face the next 12 years. The devilish schedule of the month (consecutive games against Arsenal and Chelsea) will be a very good start.

………………

Another good news for Manchester United is that the team finally regained a golden strike partner.

Berbatov, who scored five goals, tied the record of five goals scored in a single Premier League game by Alan Shearer, Andy Cole and Defoe. Seven days ago, Berba failed to even sit on the bench against Wigan in the league.

The reason Ferguson gave at the time was completely to deceive reporters, and he did not explain the real reason for abandoning Berba.

After the Champions League in mid-week, Ferguson publicly admitted that his too frequent lineup adjustments had affected Berbatov's decline in form. In the most difficult moments, Berba also silently led the team forward.

The Bulgarian's outstanding performance begs the question, who needs Rooney with Berba like him?

But the answer is precisely that Berbatov still needs Xiaopang. Previously, the Bulgarian had not scored in 10 consecutive games since he performed a hat trick against Liverpool on September 19. In those depressing days, it was Rooney who was unable to play due to an ankle injury. time, this is no coincidence.

People will always selectively forget some things that are not good for them, such as Rooney's poor performance in the World Cup due to injury, the sex scandal about his private life that caused a stir, and his public statement that he was not prepared to renew his contract with Manchester United, adding fuel to the fire... But when When Rooney is at his best, he remains a striker who terrorizes Premier League defenders.

Rooney did it all on Saturday.

He helped Berbatov get the goal with an accurate assist in the first 75 seconds. How important is such a key goal for a shooter whose confidence is extremely easily affected by the surrounding environment? Rooney then assisted Park Ji-sung's second goal, and intimidated the opponent's defender Shimbonda with his pressing, causing the dazed Frenchman to pass the ball back, directly assisting Berbatov's third goal.

It doesn't matter that Rooney still hasn't scored a goal in open play, because Ferguson said: "Their combination is very good."

………………

The good news for Manchester United in this game is not just the above. It is also worth mentioning that Ferguson finally activated Brazilian midfielder Anderson. His condition was surprisingly good in this game and he made outstanding contributions to the team's offense and defense. , there is no problem replacing Fletcher's position. Not only is he full of energy, but he is also quite sharp in passing the ball, which makes people see the Brazilian guy who was flying in the season he just joined.

At this time last year, Ferguson made the out-of-form Nani start to go crazy, but Anderson almost left because of the tense relationship with Ferguson. A serious injury before the winter transfer prevented him from making the trip. And this winter, will Anderson be like Nani? Be reborn? December, when competitions are frequent, will be further tested.

In addition, Nani and Park Ji-sung are very active in their performance. Especially Nani, with 1 pass and 1 shot, continues to lead the Premier League assists list with 10 assists. This season, he is the source of vitality for Manchester United. The Portuguese has become the most indispensable player for Manchester United. missing players.

Facts have proved that as long as the brain is open, no matter how selfish a player is and how he likes individual performances, he can become a member of the team and lead the team forward.

It doesn't matter that Rooney still hasn't scored a goal in open play, because Ferguson said: "Their combination is very good."
