Football King Bale

When the Manchester United players were standing in their own half, waiting for West Ham United to kick off, the fourth official on the sidelines made a substitution sign.

Grant played the last card in his hand and replaced the depleted Carlton Cole with young player Stanislas.

Stanislas, who turned 21 just four days ago, has a calm performance in front of the goal. He can play as two wingers. He has good speed and foot skills. He is good at cutting in from the wing and entering the penalty area. He also has long shots and set pieces. of effort.

Grant replaced him at this moment, naturally hoping to use his speed to attack Manchester United's wings from the wing and create scoring opportunities. At the same time, his other purpose is to use Stanislas' abundant physical strength to help the team defend Bell.

In the next ten minutes, whether Bell can be defended has become the key to West Ham United's ability to persist.

Grant believes that as long as Bell can be defended, West Ham United may drag the game into overtime or even a penalty shootout.

That would be West Ham's chance!

………………

After Stanislas came on the scene, in addition to attacking on the wing when West Ham United was attacking, he also performed his second duty very conscientiously - to help defend Bell. He clung to Bell and never left. Follow him. Wherever Bell ran, he would follow him. He was like a piece of dog skin plaster stuck to Bell's body and could not be shaken off.

This kind of man-to-man defense made it difficult for Bell to deal with it. Although he had several opportunities and created two threats, they were not very good and his teammates failed to grasp them.

As for his personal performance, he was limited by Stanislas' personal marking and Grant's tight defense on the left, which made it difficult for Bell to make a difference. He failed to show any impressive performance in the remaining ten minutes of regular time. An eye-catching performance.

However, Stanislas also paid a heavy price, which was a huge amount of physical exertion. Although he only came on as a substitute for 10 minutes, he felt very tired, very tired.

Stanislas couldn't believe that this was how he felt ten minutes after coming on the scene.

Fortunately, the game is about to end. I can finally rest and take a breath.

The West Ham United youngster thought to himself when he saw the fourth official on the sidelines holding up a sign indicating two minutes of extra time.

But it was just a brief moment of distraction. When he returned his gaze to Bell on the court, he found that no one could be found.

At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

………………

Bell was also very tired and already out of breath. To deal with Stanislas's stubbornness, he really had no other choice but to run.

When he saw O'Shea getting the ball in the backcourt, he immediately ran back to respond. The Irish international played a bit conservatively tonight, not daring to press too much and worrying about what was behind him.

O'Shea did not pass the ball directly to Bell, but passed it to Anderson, who then passed it to Bell, forming a triangle pass.

When Bell was about to catch the ball, he found that Stanislas did not entangle him immediately. This made him overjoyed and successfully caught the ball.

At this time, Stanislas chased after him from behind, but because his reaction was a beat too slow, the pursuit was a little too hasty.

Bell knew very well what to do at this time.

Without waiting for Stanislas to come behind him, he quickly threw away Stanislas with a Marseille spin, quickly rushed forward with the ball, gritted his teeth, mustered up his strength, and became faster and faster.

West Ham United's left midfielder in this game is veteran Boa Motte. Although the Portuguese veteran who is a left winger is 33 years old, he is not slow. After reacting, he quickly rushed towards Bell. Unexpectedly, before Boa Motte could get close, Bell quickly passed by with a pendulum, swaying from side to side with continuous feints, passed Boa Motte directly, and continued to dribble the ball forward, heading straight for the penalty area.

At this moment, the only player standing in front of Bell was centre-back Upson, who had just suffered a big loss at the hands of Bell and gave Manchester United a penalty kick.

The distance between the two became closer and closer. Behind Upson was the restricted area. He had no way to retreat. In desperation, he could only stop his body and press towards Bell.

He is already the last defensive player and there is no way to retreat.

Bell carried the ball with a deft pace, and every step he took seemed to come from his instinct. He clearly saw the changes in Upson, and he also clearly knew the situation he was facing, but he had no intention of giving his opponent time to react. He needed to rush forward.

Upson saw that Bell had rushed into his defense zone. When he was about to step forward, he saw Bell's left shoulder suddenly sink. He immediately realized that although Bell was playing as a right midfielder, his left foot was It's his main kick.

Damn it! This guy is going to cut inside and hit the goal!

Almost instantly, Upson instinctively made a defensive move to block Bell's inward cut. Unexpectedly, Bell suddenly swayed and quickly turned to the outside.

Upson was shocked. He reacted almost immediately, but his body had already moved, causing him to take a step slower. When he turned around again, Bell had passed by him, and he almost turned over. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the jersey behind Bell, and pulled hard.

This pull caused Bell, who was rushing forward, to completely lose his balance and fall down. Upson took the opportunity to rush forward and kicked the ball out of bounds.

And at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

Almost as soon as the whistle sounded, the entire Upton Park stadium completely erupted. More than 30,000 West Ham United fans made a noise.

After the referee blew the whistle, he quickly ran into the West Ham United penalty area, ran in front of Upson, reached into his breast pocket, and held up a scarlet card. .

In an instant, West Ham United fans were in a panic. They were awarded a penalty just a few minutes ago. Another penalty?

………………

The media area was also excited. No one expected that in the last ten minutes of the game, West Ham United would be awarded consecutive penalty kicks.

"The referee Clattenburg showed a red card to Upson! This was a foul on the West Ham United centre-back and he pointed at the penalty kick."

"When Bale took the ball in the last step, he had already rushed into the penalty area. This was an undisputed penalty."

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Upson's pulling action is very obvious, and from different angles, Bell has indeed rushed into the penalty area. As the last defensive player, Upson must defend himself. The foul will pay the price."

…

The players of West Ham United looked very angry. Reid and Boa Motte quickly rushed to the referee, obviously indicating that the penalty of red card and penalty kick was too harsh, but the referee kept pointing his hand to his eyes to express that he See very clearly.

Reed and Boa Motte still wanted to fight for it, but Clattenburg was very determined.

Anderson came over, stretched out his right hand, and forcefully pulled up Bell, who was still lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "Good job."

"Well done." Giggs also rushed over and smiled.

Sent off an opponent's player and also scored a penalty kick. This is definitely a change that can change the situation on the field. Even if the penalty kick is missed and the game enters overtime, Manchester United, which has a numerical advantage, will still be the victor!

After Bell got up from the ground, he tidied up his jersey. The new jersey he had just put on for a few minutes was stretched a little. It can be seen that Upson did intend to commit a foul just now, but he probably did not expect that Bell had already charged. Entered the restricted area.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Upson didn't have time to react.

In front of the coaching bench of the home and away teams, the two coaches Grant and Ferguson had completely opposite reactions. Grant was roaring angrily, apparently believing that the referee intentionally favored Manchester United and should not give West Ham United such a severe death penalty.

"You're just killing the game, understand?" the West Ham United coach roared.

Ferguson was cheering and celebrating. This red card and this penalty were so critical for Manchester United.

………………

Bell once again stood at the penalty spot.

For a moment, more than 35,000 fans from both sides at Upton Park almost held their breath.

Even at this moment, countless fans squatting in front of the TV to watch the live game are also holding their breath, and their eyes are all on the performance of wearing the No. 95 jersey.

After taking a few quick breaths, Bell took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly.
