Football King Bale

Because of the double matches a week, time seems to fly very fast in the eyes of fans, as if the weekend is here again in the blink of an eye.

At 3 pm GMT on May 22, the 10 final games of the 38th round of the 2010-2011 Premier League season started at the same time. The Red Devils and Manchester United faced Blackpool at Old Trafford.

For Manchester United, the only two suspenses in this game are whether they can maintain their unbeaten status and the second is whether they can break 100 points in a single season.

But for Manchester United's opponent Blackpool, this game is a real life and death battle. Before the start of this game, they ranked 17th in the league with 39 points. They will compete with Birmingham with 37 points and Wolves with 39 points. , and Blackburn with 40 points started a relegation battle.

In the last game, five teams will start a life-or-death battle to avoid relegation, and two relegated teams will emerge. This is destined to be an extremely brutal game.

Among them, Blackpool, which is challenging Premier League hegemon Manchester United away from home, and Birmingham, which is also challenging Tottenham Hotspur away from home, are in particularly difficult situations.

Although Manchester United won the championship 7 rounds early a month and a half ago, they will definitely not let go in this game as they aim to remain undefeated in the season. This is undoubtedly very bad news for Blackpool.

Although Tottenham have nothing to gain in this final round of games, Birmingham, which has a poor record in the latter part of the season, has a huge gap in strength with its opponents. It will undoubtedly be difficult to escape from White Hart Lane.

Of course, the most brutal thing was the direct fight between Wolves and Blackburn, a pair of relegation teams.

Fortunately, these two teams are not always destined to die. As long as two of the other three relegation opponents miss, they still have the possibility of escaping together.

………………

This is a conversation between the teams that have scored the most goals and conceded the most in the Premier League. In the previous 37 games, Manchester United scored 109 goals, averaging close to 3 goals per game. They are also the only team to score more than 100 goals, nearly 40 goals more than Arsenal and Chelsea, who tied for second with 70 goals. Blackpool is the team that has conceded the most goals among the 20 teams in the Premier League. They have conceded 75 goals in 37 rounds, averaging more than two goals per game. They are also the only team in the entire Premier League that has conceded more than 70 goals. Of course, by the end of the season, there may be teams that concede more than 70 goals.

This game is the 89th main-season meeting between the two clubs. Previously, Manchester United had a clear advantage with 48 wins, 18 draws and 22 losses. Among them, 43 times they faced Blackpool at home and they only lost 7 times. This is the last time Blackpool has faced Blackpool in recent times. It was their first visit to Old Trafford in 36 years, and the last time they won at the Theater of Dreams was back in January 1962.

Edwin van der Sar, who is about to retire this summer, played in the Premier League for the last time and wore the captain's armband. Although this game is related to whether the team can win the championship undefeated, Manchester United still made a large rotation, including Bell, Rooney, Ferdinand and many other main players are temporarily sitting on the bench.

In the end, Manchester United's lineup was the relatively rare 4321 Christmas tree formation. Rafael, Vidic, Evans and Evra partnered in defense, and the three midfielders were composed of Fletcher, Scholes and Anderson. The double attacking midfielder is a combination of Nani and Park Ji-sung, and the dashing Berbatov serves as a single arrow.

Bell doesn't care too much about not being able to start the game, because in the league, he really has no desires and desires. Because the La Liga match ended one day early, Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored crazy goals in the second half of the schedule,

In the end, the number of goals stayed above 40. There is still one goal gap between Bale, who scored 41 goals, and he has announced in advance that he will withdraw from the competition for the European Golden Boot this season.

As for Messi, he didn't score many goals at the end of the season. In the end, the number of goals stayed at 31, which was a full ten points behind Bell.

At present, although there are still games in Ligue 1 and Serie A that are not over, it is obviously impossible for the top scorers in these two leagues to threaten Bell, because their goals are still some distance away from the 30-goal mark.

In fact, after scoring 40 goals, Bell's desire to score is no longer strong. Because he has the memory of this time and space, he knows very well that this is enough for him to win the European Golden Boot this season.

After that, Bell acted more as an organizer and passer in the Manchester United team, attracting defensive attention for his teammates and creating scoring opportunities.

In the end, Ronaldo was unable to score more than 40 league goals, allowing Bale to claim the Golden Boot title alone.

Of course, even if Ronaldo scores more goals in the final round, it will be of no use, because Bell will definitely play in the final round of the Premier League and score enough goals on Blackpool.

Bell does not have the virtue of sharing with others. Of course, good things must be eaten alone.

Although today is a good day, it is the day when Manchester United people receive the 19th top league championship in the club's history. It can also be regarded as the day when Manchester United truly ascends to the throne of England's hegemony.

However, on such an important day, the weather conditions in Manchester were not good. It rained and the wind was strong before the game.

Moreover, the visiting team obviously had no intention of giving gifts for Manchester United's enthronement ceremony.

They also took the opportunity to fight Manchester United's counterattack. 2 minutes later, Charlie Adam once again sent a fast ground ball from the left rib. Unfortunately, D-Campbell, who was outflanking the goal, failed to kick and missed the opportunity.

Manchester United, who were in the right place at the right time, almost knocked on Blackpool's goal in the 8th minute of the game. Fletcher made a wonderful pass, and Berbatov cleverly stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area and passed the close defender before pushing the ball with his right foot, which was blocked by Gilkes' heroic side dive. Immediately, Park Ji-sung's shot was directly blocked by Adam.

………………

After a tug-of-war, Blackpool was finally defeated. In the 21st minute of the game, their city gate was declared lost.

Manchester United stole the ball in the midfield, and Scholes sent a precise long pass, tearing apart Blackpool's two defense lines and finding Berbatov on the striker. Beba

Brother Xiaosha half-turned to face the incoming ball, tapped his chest gently, and steadily unloaded the ball in front of him. Then, before the Blackpool defender rushed to defend, he made a coquettish pass and passed the ball into the penalty area.

In this process, the Bulgarian showed his chicness to the fullest.

Blackpool defender Evatt originally had a positional advantage, but at this critical moment, he made a mistake in returning to defense and accidentally missed the ball. This allowed Park Ji-sung who came in from behind to find an opportunity, 7 meters from the left Scored the goal with a kick.

1:0! Manchester United takes the lead at home!

This goal made the singing at Old Trafford even louder, and Manchester United fans continued to attack Blackpool's goal amidst the singing of the home fans.

Obviously, the Red Devils, who aim to win the championship undefeated, have no intention of letting Blackpool escape at home.

However, during this period, Manchester United players' attacks lacked accuracy and some luck in scoring goals.

In the 27th minute, Berbatov received a corner kick from the left side taken by Ney and shot sideways. The ball went straight to the dead corner of the near post, but before it flew into the goal, a Blackpool player blocked the hole of the gun and blocked the ball out of the baseline. .

In the 31st minute, Rafael made a cross from the right. Berbatov controlled the ball in the penalty area and shot a low shot that was blocked by Gilkes. Park Ji-sung was interfered by Adam when he was about to break through in the penalty area and fell down, but the referee Dean refused to award a penalty. ball.

Two minutes later, Berbatov's header from close range on the small penalty area line still missed the target.

………………

After withstanding Manchester United's onslaught during this period, Blackpool gradually gained a firm foothold, and the situation on the field entered a balance of power, even with the visiting team having a slight advantage.

In order to stop Blackpool's attack, Manchester United players paid the price of some fouls and even yellow cards.

In the 35th minute, Fletcher received a yellow card for a tactical foul on Southern in midfield.

In the 39th minute, Vidic fouled Taylor Fletcher in front of the penalty area and was warned by the referee.

Although Vidic's foul escaped a yellow card, it was not a good result for Manchester United, because Blackpool used this free kick to score Manchester United's goal. Charlie Adam took a direct free kick from 26 meters away from the center with his left foot. The ball flew from the side of the wall and hit the inside of the bottom of the right post before bouncing into the net to equalize the score.

Because of this goal, Charlie Adam also became the first player to score against Manchester United in the first half of the Premier League since Joe Cole (playing for Chelsea at the time) on April 3, 2010.

In the last five minutes of the first half, both sides played relatively conservatively, so no more goals were scored. Manchester United and Blackpool entered the halftime break tied at 1:1.

During the halftime break, the home team fans in the stands of Old Trafford kept singing and were already warming up for the grand celebration after the game.

Although Manchester United has won three championships this season, they have not held large celebrations in Manchester. This is mainly because Manchester United's schedule is very tight. Every time after winning the championship, there are new games in a short period of time, so the club's top management simply decided to celebrate together after this last league game.
