Football King Bale

Bell once again scored twice, raising his number of league goals this season to 15 and continuing to lead the Premier League scorer list.

And Manchester United has also become the big winner in the Premier League scorer list. In addition to Bell, who dominates the top spot, another Manchester United scorer, the Bulgarian Berbatov, is also second in the Premier League scorer list. The number of league goals scored by the handsome brother continues to increase. After a big explosion in two rounds, the number of goals rose to 13, only 2 goals less than his Tottenham junior.

Berbatov can occupy the second place in the scorer list, thanks to his super explosion in the last two rounds. After scoring a hat-trick in the double-header with Liverpool, the handsome brother once fell into a goal drought in ten consecutive games. However, in the last round against a violent team, he became the second player in Manchester United's history to perform five goals in the Premier League. player, scored twice again this round and scored 7 goals in two league rounds, making him the second highest scorer in the Premier League after Bale in terms of number of league goals.

Bell and Berbatov scored 28 goals in the league alone, which is enough to rank among the top four in the Premier League. Apart from Manchester United, only Arsenal with 34 goals and Chelsea with 30 goals have more goals.

This season, Manchester United's offense is bursting with firepower. In addition to Bell and Berbatov, who scored 28 goals together, the other players also contributed 22 goals in the league. This makes Manchester United's goal count after 16 league rounds. Reaching 50 goals, it became the most powerful team in the five major leagues.

Among the other four major leagues, Barcelona, ​​known as the Cosmos team, has the strongest attack power in La Liga. The Red and Blues have scored 41 goals after 14 league rounds, making them the team closest to the Red Devils in offensive firepower.

Serie A has never been known for its offensive power. After 15 league rounds, Juventus has the strongest offensive power, but the Bianconeri have only scored a pitiful 29 goals.

The most powerful Bundesliga team is Dortmund led by Jurgen Klopp. The Hornets have scored 37 goals in 15 league games, which makes them lead the Bundesliga standings with a 10-point advantage, which is second only to Manchester United in the Premier League. Strong on the list.

Ligue 1, like the Premier League, has played 16 rounds. The leader Lille has the strongest attack power, but they have only scored 31 goals.

But personally speaking, Bale, who scored 15 goals, cannot dominate Europe, because there is Cristiano Ronaldo who scored 17 goals in 14 league rounds in front of him. In addition, Messi, who scored 15 goals, is not inferior to the Welsh shooter.

These three are already the hottest shooters in Europe at the moment, and the rest are some distance away from them.

However, in the just-announced list of the top three for this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or, Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo were hampered by the results of the national team and were not shortlisted.

………………

At noon on December 6, GMT, FIFA and France Football magazine held a press conference at the Paris headquarters of L'Equipe to announce the top three candidates for the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or. It was Iniesta, Xavi and Messi, and Barcelona became the second club to include candidates for the top three after AC Milan in 1988 and 1989. The final ranking will be announced at the FIFA Year-End Awards Ceremony on January 10, 2011.

Although Sneijder led Inter Milan to achieve three crowns last season and led the Dutch national team to the World Cup finals in South Africa, Inter Milan was looked down upon by the judges due to Inter Milan's sluggish performance this season. Messi's shortlisting is due to Sneijder being looked down upon. Compared with Xavi and Iniesta, Messi's national team results in 2010 seem too pale.

The Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year are the most eye-catching selections at the end of each year. The Ballon d'Or is initiated by "France Football" magazine, with reporters from global media serving as judges. This award is more professional; while the World Player of the Year It is organized by FIFA and judged by the coaches and captains of each national team. Although it is not without controversy, it has official authority.

Starting this year, these two most influential football awards will be combined into one and renamed the "FIFA Ballon d'Or".

It is jointly judged by journalists from all over the world and the coaches and captains of each national team.

The judges of the FIFA Golden Globe Award include 208 national team coaches, 208 national team captains and 208 reporters from world media. A total of 624 judges participated in the selection. In contrast, the team general has a two-thirds advantage, and the media has relatively fewer votes. Therefore, in the selection, players who are popular in local areas are more likely to be on the list.

Compared with the previous 50-person Ballon d'Or list, this time's candidate list has only 23 people. This follows the selection plan of the World Footballer, using 23 players as the number of players for a single team in the World Series as the candidate list. The number of people on the list makes the competition more intense.

In another list that was circulated, Bell ranked fifth in this list, even surpassing the World Cup Golden Boot, former Manchester United striker Forlan, and former World Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

Many media have analyzed that it is indeed quite surprising that Bell can enter the top ten or even the top five this time. After all, this is a World Cup year, and Bale's performance in the World Cup was 0 because Wales did not enter the World Cup finals at all.

Not only that, Bell also had no performance in the European war last season.

Media reporters believe that Bell has benefited from the hype that has aroused around the world since leading Tottenham to achieve the legendary record of England's domestic Grand Slam last season. Especially in this summer's transfer market, Bell has repeatedly been in the news. He was pursued by major wealthy teams, which kept him appearing in media and newspapers around the world. As his popularity increased, Bell naturally became more and more popular.

In addition, after moving to Manchester United this season, Bell has performed well in the league, Champions League and European Cup qualifiers, which has given Bell certain bonus points.

………………

Manchester United's strength is not only reflected in the Premier League, they are also the strongest team in the Champions League. After the fifth round of the group stage, they and Chelsea are currently the only two teams that have maintained a complete victory. However, they have scored 11 goals in five games but conceded zero goals, which is slightly better than scoring 14 goals but conceding. The Blues scored 3 goals.

Manchester United, who had retired from Blackpool, did not have any rest after returning to Manchester and put in hard training, because just three days later, at 19:45 on December 7, they will face Valencia. Challenge, this is also the last round of the Champions League group stage.

Although they have secured first place in the group in the last round, Manchester United obviously do not want to lose at home. After all, they are still unbeaten on all fronts, and they do not want to break their unbeaten gold medal at home. body.

To say that Manchester United trains hard does not mean how difficult their training is. With a major game coming soon, the coaching staff did not increase the difficulty of the team's training. This difficulty is caused by the bad weather.

Since entering December, England has been experiencing continuous snowstorms. Now almost the entire England is covered in ice and snow. Therefore, in order to prepare for the Champions League games, Manchester United can only train and prepare in the wind and snow.

However, thanks to the team's recent excellent record, the team's morale is high and everyone is very enthusiastic about training.

………………

Because Manchester United's opponent Valencia has also obtained the tickets for the Champions League knockout round one round in advance, and there is no hope of competing with Manchester United for the first place in the group, so the last round of the Champions League group stage seems a bit tepid. Both sides It's more like completing a game mission.

At the current press conference, because there really wasn’t much to say about this game, the old man even talked more about Barcelona’s 5-0 home game against Real Madrid.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Playing with Barcelona, ​​if you give them a comfortable kick, then they can achieve that feat with any team. That is an amazing achievement. Before the start of the Champions League, They are the favorites. They are not perfect and some teams can beat them. However, the wisest option is to avoid the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, who are currently at the top of the group. We can What we do is we finish first in the group stage, and that’s the result we want.”

Later, Sir Alex talked about Real Madrid's 0:5 loss to Barcelona, ​​saying that Real Madrid coach Mourinho could accept it calmly even if it was a record-breaking defeat. He said: "After the disastrous defeat to Barcelona, ​​I guess Mourinho did not feel that he was the most special one. I talked to him and he said that it was the first time he was defeated 5:0, but for him That's not unacceptable. In the showdown between Barcelona and Real Madrid, no matter how big the blow is, you can't admit defeat easily, so I appreciate Mourinho's reaction and I really like his response to the disastrous defeat after the game. Reactions and Attitudes.”

It is worth mentioning that after playing in Valencia, Manchester United has entered a devilish schedule and will compete with Arsenal and Chelsea in succession. In this regard, Sir Alex said that Manchester United will definitely be the main player in the game against Valencia and will not be substituted because they face strong opponents in the Premier League.

Sir Alex said this: "I think the players need to play against Valencia. I will send the strongest lineup and then have six days to prepare for the game against Arsenal. But the first thing is that we must currently Focusing on Valencia, the historical record shows that it is always difficult for us to play against them, and I think this game will be the same."

………………

Sir Alex Ferguson fulfilled his promise in the game. Except for resting veteran Edwin van der Sar in the goalkeeper position and allowing youngster Amos to get his first chance to play in the Champions League, he almost sent out the strongest lineup in his hand. The two central defenders are the golden combination of Ferdinand and Vidic, the two full-backs are the Brazilian twins Fabio and Rafael, the four midfielders are the combination of Nani, Carrick, Anderson and Bell, and the double forwards are Little Fatty. Rooney and dashing Goberbatov.

However, Valencia sent more substitute players, goalkeeper No. 13 Guaita, and the four defenders are No. 23 Miguel, No. 15 Delbert, No. 20 Ricardo Costa, and No. 22 Mathieu. The five midfielders are No. 6 Albelda, No. 21 Banega, No. 28 Alba, No. 8 Dominguez, and No. 19 Pablo, and the single arrow is No. 11 Aduriz.

When the game started, the temperature at the venue had reached minus 3 degrees, and the fans in the stands were almost frozen.

At the beginning of the first half, Manchester United used the ball to firmly control the situation. In the 4th minute, Nani cleverly got rid of Delbert and then shot a low shot from 20 meters away from the right rib and missed the near corner.

As the game progressed, Valencia adapted to the rhythm and gradually started to attack. Rafael made two rescues.

In the 10th minute, Ricardo Costa received a pass from the far end on the right side of the penalty area and barely headed the ball wide. In the 14th minute, Anderson and Rooney broke through the visiting team's defense after hitting the wall. Unfortunately, in a nearly one-on-one situation, Anderson's low shot in the penalty area was not strong enough and was easily confiscated by Guaita. 2 minutes later, Dominguez's curved shot from the left corner of the penalty area was also scored by Amos.

The game then entered a stalemate, and both sides had certain opportunities, but both missed the ball. In the 17th minute, Domingos volleyed from the right side of the penalty area and the ball hit the right post and popped out. Four minutes later, Anderson passed the ball behind him, and Berbatov threw away Delbert to form a one-on-one shot. Unfortunately, Guaita blocked the ball with his hand when he was about to pass the goalkeeper, and the ball hit Berba and bounced out of the baseline. In the 23rd minute, Berbatov failed again in a one-on-one challenge and the ball went out of the bottom line. Immediately, Nani and Anderson cooperated with the tactical corner kick. The Portuguese flying wing, which had been very active in the opening, decisively shot a low shot but was confiscated by Guaita. In the 24th minute, Bell broke through on the left and missed in the penalty area. In the 31st minute, Rooney made a cross from the left, and Bell flew to grab the shot but was blocked by Guaita with his body.

………………

Just when people thought Manchester United was getting closer and closer to scoring, they unexpectedly conceded the goal first.

In the 32nd minute, Carrick hesitated and the ball was intercepted in the backcourt. Dominguez made a wonderful pass in the middle of the right wing. Pablo broke into the penalty area and shot a low shot with his right foot on the right side. The ball went through Amos's crotch and into the net. Previously, Manchester United, which kept a clean sheet record in the group stage, missed rewriting the history of advancing with a clean sheet.

This loss of the ball made Ferguson look a little ugly on the sidelines. In his opinion, Carrick made a big mistake in this loss of the ball. After all, as a defensive midfielder holding the ball, you have to be decisive when taking the ball in such a dangerous position. If you hesitate, isn't it because people are trying to steal you?

After losing the ball, Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack and almost equalized the score in just 5 minutes.

In the 36th minute, Bell broke through Valencia's defense on the left and found Rooney with an inverted triangle pass. The fat man's shot from the left rib of the penalty area hit the lintel and bounced out. Valencia escaped.

But Manchester United's offense did not stop there, because the rebounded ball was picked up by Bell who continued to advance after passing the ball. Bell shot again 10 meters away from the goal, and the ball went straight to the near post.

Just when the Manchester United players and the more than 70,000 home fans at Old Trafford were preparing to celebrate the goal, they heard a muffled "pop" sound, and the goalpost once again rejected Manchester United's goal!
