Football King Bale

Chapter 34: Rick Vera

According to Ferguson's instructions, David Gill came to Villa Park to inspect Bell's performance.

Although Bell has made it clear to Barnett that he will not leave Tottenham this winter, Barnett has not rejected Manchester United. He still needs to continue to use Manchester United to hang Tottenham to strive for better treatment for Bell.

There is such a good opportunity to take advantage of the giants Manchester United to raise prices, and Barnett will naturally not let it go.

Manchester United didn't know what Bell and Barnett were thinking. Seeing that Barnett didn't directly veto the possibility of Bell's transfer, they were not in a hurry. Anyway, there is still more than a month before the winter transfer window opens, and they just happened to take advantage of it. During this period of time, continue to investigate Bell to see if this kid is real or just a flash in the pan.

Originally, Ferguson wanted to inspect Bell himself, but because Manchester United was going to play in Portsmouth, the southern seaport, he had no choice but to ask David Gill to follow up and inspect.

Of course, Bell is not the only one David Gill is investigating. There is also a man in their opponent Villa who is the target of Manchester United. This person is none other than one of Bell's direct opponents in this game - Ashley Young!

It is not a day or two that Manchester United is interested in Ashley Young. Two years ago, in the 2007-2008 season, Professor Young handed over a record of 8 goals and 17 assists in 37 games in the Premier League. Manchester United followed him. .

It's just that Nani performed well that season, and there was no shortage of people in Manchester United's formation, so Manchester United did not take action.

Last season, when Nani fell into a downturn, Manchester United had the idea of ​​buying Ashley Young, but Ferguson hadn't despaired of Nani yet, and ultimately failed to make the trip.

This season, Nani continued to sink, Ferguson was very disappointed with Nani, and finally decided to buy someone to replace Nani. At this point, though, Ashley Young isn't United's only target, or even their first choice. Bell, who is younger and has performed more amazingly, has become Manchester United's inevitable target.

………………

Mortensen of Sky TV still commented on the game. When the director cut the live camera to David Gill, he laughed and said: "In the last game, I just said that Tottenham fans should worry about Bale playing in Tottenham. I didn't expect this to come true. A few days ago, some media revealed that Manchester United had asked Tottenham for a price. Presumably the purpose of David Gill's visit to Villa Park today was to inspect Bell on the spot. Bell behaved like this Excellent, I think from the perspective of David Gill, I am afraid that he has strengthened his determination to take Bale at this moment."

After a pause, Mortenson said: "However, Tottenham fans don't need to despair, because Bale is not the only target of Manchester United, and Ashley Young is also in their sights. If Ashley Young performed today as cover After Bale, maybe Manchester United will turn their target to Ashley Young..."

Countless Tottenham fans and Villa fans in front of the TV: MMP...

Bale is just one of Tottenham's outstanding rookies this season, but Ashley Young is Villa's thigh. The reason why Villa can remain in the top six of the Premier League for three consecutive seasons is that Ashley Young's continuous highlights are an important factor.

Villa fans are even more furious that Manchester United want to poach Ashley Young. Their mood at this moment is like the mood of Manchester United fans when it was constantly exposed that Real Madrid wanted to dig Ronaldo two years ago.

Amidst Mortensen's ridicule, amidst the grievances of Tottenham fans and Villa fans, the game continued.

However, after Bell helped Tottenham equalize the score, the two sides fell into a rather long stalemate, and no one could do anything to the other.

………………

In the face of such a stalemate, adjusting the personnel on the field is one of the most effective means to change the balance of power.

Lao Lei took the lead in taking action. In the 66th minute of the game,

He replaced Palacios with the more offensive Jenas to strengthen the offense.

Martin O'Neill showed no sign of weakness, and then played two consecutive cards, hoping to help Villa take the lead again.

In the 71st minute of the game, O'Neill replaced Leo Cork with attacking forward Sidwell. In this game, Leo Kok's performance was mediocre, which has a lot to do with him not playing for a long time.

In the summer of 2007, after Leo Kok moved to Villa, he has been the team's unshakable main midfielder, but in the second half of last season, he gradually became a substitute because of his status.

This summer, after Gareth Barry left the team and switched to Manchester City Football Club, Leo Kok could have regained his first-choice seat and served as a defensive midfielder he was good at, but on September 18, 2009 in There was a dispute with head coach Martin O'Neill on the training ground, and he has been "hidden" since then and has no chance to play. It was not until November 7th that he was "thawed" and was sent to play again as the captain in a 5-1 home defeat to Bolton.

Today was Leo Kirk's second consecutive appearance, but his performance was average. Coupled with the team's need to increase its offensive power, Martin O'Neill chose to replace it.

However, after replacing Koke, Villa still failed to score. Martin O'Neill made a second substitution adjustment in the 75th minute. He replaced high center John with former Liverpool striker Heskey. Karoo.

However, O'Neill saw Tottenham's lead before Villa took the lead.

It was still Bell who made the goal.

………………

In the 76th minute of the game, Bell cooperated with Aso Hector on the left. After dribbling the ball to attract the defensive attention of Ashley Young and Warnock on the right of Villa, he passed the ball to meet Aso Hector, then turned and ran forward.

After this period of running-in, Aso Hector and Bale have already had a good tacit understanding. He received the ball from Bale and picked it to Villa's defense before Ashley Young came to press. behind.

Although Warnock's reaction was not slow, he had already turned around at the moment Hector picked the pass, intending to chase Bell, but he was thirty-two years old after all, and his physical condition was average, so his reaction was half a beat slower. Can you still keep up with Bell's rhythm?

Bale sprinted along the touchline, completely leaving Warnock behind.

When Bell broke through on the left, the Tottenham players on the center and right were also pressing forward quickly. Four Tottenham players including Crouch, Defoe, Lennon and Jenas all entered Villa's penalty area.

Not only that, Tottenham's defensive players are also on the premise, especially the central defender Dawson, who quickly rushed through the midfield and approached Villa's big penalty area.

At this time, Bell had already brought the ball to the frontcourt near the bottom line. Facing Dunn who came to block him, Bell forced a cross.

Although the kick was a bit hasty, the quality of Bell's cross was still good. In addition, there was Crouch's absolute height in Villa's penalty area, so Bell's cross found Crouch very accurately.

Villa's other centre-back, the Spaniard Carlos Cuellar, is only 1.9 meters tall, but he is very strong, and he resisted Crouch so hard that he couldn't attack the goal. In desperation, Crouch had to choose to ferry the header.

Near the penalty spot, Tottenham's Defoe grabbed the second spot. He stopped the ball and slammed it out of the angle.

Just when people thought the ball had been scored, a person suddenly appeared on the path of the ball and blocked it.

It's Petrov!

Villa's Bulgarian captain flew to block the hole and blocked Defoe's strong shot.

The ball that flew out landed outside the penalty area, and just as Sidwell, who had just debuted as Villa, flew over and was about to make a further clearance, a tall figure appeared in front of the ball, facing the ball that had just bounced off the ground , kicked hard.

The white ball was like a bolt of lightning, whistling and flying into Villa's goal!

In the 77th minute of the game, Tottenham overtook the score in the away game.

………………

When Tottenham celebrated the goal and returned to the court, Lao Lei made the second substitution of the game. He replaced the hero Gareth with the team's second captain Robbie Keane Bell.

This is the first time after nearly a month, the Tottenham captain has another chance to play.

In fact, this is Lao Lei saving his energy for the quarter-finals of the League Cup in the middle of the week.

Three days later, Tottenham will go to Old Trafford to compete with Manchester United for a ticket to the semi-finals of this season's League Cup.

For this game, Lao Lei and Tottenham attach great importance to it, because in recent years, Tottenham have performed very well in the League Cup.

In the 2006-2007 season, Tottenham broke into the semi-finals of the League Cup. In the semi-finals of the two rounds, they drew 2:2 at home and 1:1 away, with a total score of 3:3 with North London rivals Arsenal.

In the 2007-2008 season, Tottenham once again broke into the semi-finals, and their opponent in the semi-finals was still Arsenal. This time, they drew 1:1 with Arsenal in the away game. After returning home, they slaughtered the Gunners with a score of 5:1. While avenging the regrettable exit in the semi-finals of last season, they also reached the League Cup final. . In the end, in the final with Chelsea, the two sides fought 1:1 in 120 minutes, and finally won the penalty shootout, winning the team's first championship since entering the new century.

Last season, Tottenham once again broke into the League Cup final, this time their opponent in the final was the Red Devils Manchester United. The two sides fought 0:0 in 120 minutes, thus entering a penalty shootout. It's just that this time the loser became Tottenham, and they failed to defend their title.

Today, Tottenham once again meet Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the League Cup. They hope to succeed in revenge and continue in the League Cup.

Tottenham's management knows very well that with Tottenham's current strength, the League Cup is the most likely to win. If you are out of the League Cup, it will be very difficult to win another championship.

Bale was applauded by the thousands of Tottenham supporters who traveled with the team to Birmingham as he left the pitch.

After that, although both sides were trying hard to change the score, the score remained 2:1 until the referee morally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The winning Tottenham once again returned to the second place in the league.
