Football King Bale
Chapter 566: Manchester City in a last-ditch battle
The difficult away victory over Reading brought Manchester United's league record this season to 15 wins and 1 loss, and their points reached 45 points.
In this round, Manchester City was tied 1:1 by Moyes' Everton at the Etihad Stadium. Their record in the first 15 rounds was 9 wins, 6 draws and 33 points, although they are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League. , but is already 12 points behind leader Manchester United.
Bell scored twice and provided an assist in this round of the Premier League. He was the number one contributor to Manchester United's reversal. After scoring these two goals, Bell's Premier League goals this season have reached 22, and he also has 12 assists. Throughout 2012, Bell's goals have reached 88 goals, and he also has 37 assists. He has directly created 125 goals for Manchester United.
Two days ago, FIFA and France Football magazine announced the three final candidates for the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The result was no surprise. The three giants of Bale, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo once again won the prize. Top three. And according to news circulating on the Internet, the support rate of the Big Three is far ahead of the rest of the players.
This is the sixth consecutive time Messi has been shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or (including FIFA World Player of the Year before the merger) since 2007. In the past three years, the Argentine superstar has won the title twice, only losing last year. Despite Bell's strong rise, he missed three consecutive championships.
Ronaldo won the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008. In 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011, the Portuguese superstar was shortlisted for the final three candidates four times. In addition, Ronaldo also won the first FIFA Puskas in 2009. Best Goal Award.
As for Bell, because he is much younger than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and he first played for Tottenham, a mid-table team in the Premier League, this led to his influence in football in the past few years. Seriously inadequate, it was not until he moved to Manchester United that he was shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or for the first time, and won the championship strongly last year. With Bell's near-perfect performance in 2012, this year's Golden Globe Award is still in his bag.
………………
Messi's performance in 2012 is still perfect. As of the end of November, the Argentine superstar has scored 82 goals in club and national team games this year, far behind the 85 goals set by German legendary superstar Gerd Muller in 1972. The record for most goals in a year is only 3 goals away, and there is only 4 goals away from Bell's new record of 86 goals for the year, which was set last year. In December this year, Barcelona still has 4 league games and 1 Champions League group stage game to play. According to the previous scoring rhythm, it is only a matter of time before Messi breaks the annual scoring record set by Bale last year.
Compared with Messi, although Ronaldo is slightly inferior in terms of goals, the Portuguese superstar still has his own unique bargaining chip. In the 2011-2012 season, Real Madrid regained the La Liga championship trophy after a long absence, and Ronaldo played a major role in scoring 50 goals in the league. Cristiano Ronaldo has also performed well in international competitions. In this summer's European Cup, it was his heroic performance in the third round of the group stage and the quarter-finals that enabled the Portuguese team to finally reach the semi-finals.
Without Bale, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo would definitely be the most likely winners of the 2012 Ballon d'Or. However, with Bale, they actually have no chance of winning. Because whether in the club or the national team, whether in team honors or personal performance, Bell has an absolute advantage over the two.
When the top three of this year’s Golden Globe Awards were announced,
Messi was hopeful of breaking the previous records set by Gerd Muller and Bale, but Bale, who scored 86 goals again in the year, had already broken Gerd Muller's record again and tied his own record just set last year. new record. On the first day of December, Bell refreshed his own record.
As we all know, Bell's Manchester United will have a devilish schedule in December. According to the current situation, Manchester United will have at least 5 Premier League games, 1 Champions League game, 1 League Cup game and 2 Club World Cup games in December. 9 games. Although Manchester United is currently the most successful team in European football, Bell, as the core of Manchester United, will definitely play in more than 5 of these 9 games. With his scoring efficiency, it is inevitable to score more than 90 goals in the year. , even breaking through the 100-goal mark is not impossible.
These goals allowed Bell to win almost all the Golden Boots and Best Players this year, achieving a Grand Slam of personal honors. As for the club, Manchester United also won four championships in the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and European Super Cup in 2012. Not surprisingly, there is a high probability that Manchester United will defend the title in the upcoming Club World Cup.
As for the national team, Bell won two heavy team honors, the European Cup and the London Olympics men's football gold medal, and Bell was the absolute core.
All of this has made Bell's call for winning the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or Award unprecedentedly high. Even judging from the odds offered by major gambling companies, Bell's winning is almost a certainty.
………………
On December 5, the final round of the Champions League group stage this season kicked off, and Manchester United also faced the challenge of Cluj at Old Trafford.
Before this round of games, as they had secured the first place in the group in advance, and the first leg of the Manchester Derby this season was about to take place at the weekend, Manchester United had made major adjustments to their lineup. Ferdinand, Evra, Robin van Persie, The main players such as Rooney and Bell have all taken turns. Jones and Smalling, who have recently recovered from injuries, are the starters. Young players Wootton and Cleverley, who have not played many opportunities in the league, have also been given the opportunity to start. The striker is Weir. Baker, Hernandez partner.
Manchester United is fair. They played all substitutes in the away game against Galatasaray in the last round. In this home game against Galatasaray's direct opponent, Manchester United also let go and continued to play with a full substitute lineup.
After 90 minutes of competition, Cluj won 1:0 with the world wave scored by Luis Alberto, but in the other game of the group, Galatasaray defeated Braga 2:1.
As a result, Cluj and Galatasaray both have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses and 10 points. However, Galatasaray achieved a record of 1 win and 1 draw against Cluj. Taking advantage of the relationship between victory and defeat, the Turkish giants squeezed out Cluj and joined hands with Manchester United to qualify.
Manchester United also added another injured player in this game. In the 44th minute, young player Cleverley left the field injured and was replaced by Scholes.
At this point, this season's Champions League group stage has come to an end. Manchester United won the first four rounds in a row and secured first place in the group in advance. However, they let off steam in the last two games. Although they lost both games, the main players got enough. rotation rest.
However, because he did not play many appearances in the Champions League group stages this season, Bell's personal data has declined significantly compared to the previous two seasons.
In the six group matches, Bell only played three times and handed over a report card of 3 goals and 2 assists. In the Champions League where the stars shine, he seems very inconspicuous.
Currently, Galatasaray's Yilmaz and Cristiano Ronaldo are tied for the top scorer list with 6 goals, and Messi, who scored 5 goals, ranks third. As for Bell, he didn’t even make the top ten.
………………
After the six rounds of the Champions League group stage, three teams from the Premier League, La Liga and the Bundesliga have successfully advanced. Of the four Premier League teams that participated in the Champions League, Tottenham, which was originally not expected by people, unexpectedly qualified first in the group. Manchester City was unexpectedly but reasonably eliminated from the group stage again.
Last season, Manchester City failed to qualify in the group but finished third, so they got the opportunity to participate in the Europa League and eventually won the Europa League championship, which is also another kind of victory. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all qualified for the top spot, with Manchester United and Chelsea both reaching the finals. This season, four Premier League teams competed in the Champions League. As a result, Manchester City was eliminated early for two consecutive years, with 3 draws and 3 losses and 3 points. This is the first time a Premier League team has failed to win in the group. It can be called a shame for the Premier League!
Obviously, before the start of the Manchester Derby, Manchester presented two different situations. Manchester United continued to perform very strongly in the Champions League, although they suffered consecutive defeats in the last two rounds, resulting in the team's 31 games in the Champions League. The horrific record of defeats was ended, but that was due to tactical choices. Manchester United rotated almost all the main players, and the loss was expected; this season's Champions League record is worse than last season, and their failure to win the group stage even made them participate in the competition. Not even qualified for the Europa League.
In fact, the trajectory of the Manchester City duo has already been revealed at the start of the group stage. When Manchester United won consecutive victories, Manchester City was in dire straits in the Champions League. Although they narrowly lost to Real Madrid 2:3 in their first game, they failed to win against Real Madrid at home. Dortmund was almost completely beaten, and only the performance of goalkeeper Hart barely managed to win a share. After two games against Ajax, Manchester City was beaten again.
Throughout the group stage, Manchester City did not take the initiative in any game. If we have to say that Blue Moon is better than its opponents, we can only recommend Manchester City's 1:1 draw with Real Madrid at home. It was this game that Real Madrid took the lead to break the deadlock. , then Real Madrid was sent off one man, and Manchester City turned the game around.
Since the Champions League was restructured, no team participating in the Premier League has ever been eliminated from the group stage without a win, and now Manchester City has created this shameful record. Before Manchester City, the Premier League team had at least one victory, such as Manchester United, which was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2005-2006 season.
Manchester City, which has always been ambitious and wanted to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, unexpectedly set the most humiliating record for a Premier League team in the Champions League. This put Blue Moon coach Mancini under unprecedented pressure. Many media have reported that Manchester City's oil tycoon boss is very dissatisfied with the Italian coach.
Mancini is under great pressure, and the reason is not only the miserable results in the Champions League, but also their poor performance in the Premier League. The Premier League has only played 15 rounds, and they are already 12 points behind Manchester United. The championship is almost in vain.
Therefore, the Manchester City Derby in the 16th round became a last-ditch battle between Mancini and Manchester City!
