Over the weekend, Manchester United ushered in the third round of this season's FA Cup.

This is Manchester United's first appearance in the FA Cup this season. The team travels to London to challenge the Hammers West Ham United away from home.

The competition was very fierce. This season, West Ham United was eliminated from the League Cup early and is only in the middle of the league. It is the kind of team that has no hope of European competition and little danger of relegation. The FA Cup has become their most hoped-for success. The performance field.

Manchester United played very hard in the first half and made a lot of rotations. Although in the 23rd minute of the game, Cleverley scored a goal and took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field, but then Thun A counterattack was launched, and four minutes after Manchester United scored, they equalized the score. The goal was scored by Bale's Welsh national teammate James Collins.

After the start of the second half, West Ham United continued to take advantage of their home court and launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal. In the 59th minute, James Collins scored twice to take the lead.

Ferguson naturally did not want his team to lose in their FA Cup debut. In the 68th minute of the game, he made two consecutive personnel adjustments. Bell replaced Scholes and Robin van Persie. Without Hernandez, the team returned to the 4-3-3 formation that they have played more this season.

Under the leadership of Bell, Manchester United made a strong counterattack in the away game. In the 66th minute, Bell took advantage of a counterattack and scored a goal for Manchester United, tying the score.

But just five minutes later, Bell made a breakthrough on the left and made a precise pass into the penalty area. Van Persie headed the goal and exceeded the score again.

The two sides were still locked in an inseparable game. West Ham United showed admirable tenacity. The two sides launched a hard-fought round, and the game was quite difficult.

It was not until the 86th minute that Sneijder made a long pass and Van Persie scored with a shot in the penalty area, which sealed the victory of the game.

But even if they were ahead by two goals again, Manchester United still didn't dare to be careless. In the last few minutes of the game, West Ham United was still looking for opportunities.

The Hammers fought hard right up to the final whistle.

Everyone at Manchester United breathed a sigh of relief.

………………

Although it was difficult for Manchester United to win this game, they won after all. The Gunners Arsenal were the most miserable. They were tied 2:2 by Swansea in the away game and had to rematch on another day. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Arsenal, which is already stretched due to its intensive schedule.

However, for Arsenal, being able to get a chance to rematch cannot be said to be bad news. After all, they were eliminated from the Premier League and League Cup early this season, and the Champions League was also in trouble. It can be said that the FA Cup is the only championship trophy they can strive for. Being able to continue in the FA Cup at least shows that they will not lose all four majors early in 2013.

In several other games against the top teams in the Premier League, the top teams all won. Manchester City beat Watford 3:0 at home, Chelsea beat Southampton 5:1 away, Tottenham also won Coventry 3:0 at White Hart Lane, and Liverpool struggled to win away. Mansfield.

Liverpool, who changed coaches in the summer, still have no obvious signs of rebound. After 21 league rounds, they are only ranked eighth in the Premier League. This time they face Mansfield, who are ranked ninth in England's fifth-tier league. Although the ranking gap between the two teams is As high as 93, they still struggled to win, and finally won the opponent with a controversial handball from Suarez.

With the third round of the FA Cup coming to an end over the weekend, the eyes of the world have turned to the small Swiss city of Zurich.

On the evening of January 7, the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards Ceremony will be held here.

On the last day of November, FIFA announced the list of the three finalists for the Ballon d'Or, as well as the rankings of the next four.

As the core midfielders of Barcelona and Spain, Iniesta and Xavi ranked fourth and fifth without any surprise, while the players ranked sixth and seventh are both Manchester United players. Bell's partner on the striker is Rooney. Ranked sixth.

As the core of Manchester United's midfield, Sneijder's performance in 2012 was quite stable and outstanding. At the club, Sneijder helped Manchester United defend the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup triple crown, as well as the European Super Cup and Club World Cup.

In terms of team honors, Sneijder is not inferior to his club teammate Rooney, but in the European Cup in the summer, the Netherlands' performance was a nightmare. In Group B with Germany, Portugal, and Denmark, it was difficult for the Oranje to score a point. After three consecutive defeats, they were eliminated from the group. Among the 16 teams participating in the European Cup finals, they ranked 15th. They only surpassed Ireland, which also suffered three consecutive defeats, by the number of goals scored. Fortunately, they did not become all 16 teams. The bottom of the team.

As soon as the top three were announced, the Portuguese expressed his thoughts. It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo seemed quite low-key this time. He said that he was very proud to be on the shortlist.

Ronaldo said in an interview: "This is an honor. I am proud to be shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or. I am also very happy to be selected for the FIFA Team of the Year. These are two special awards. , being able to be shortlisted is mainly due to my own efforts and the support of my teammates.”

Why did the always arrogant Ronaldo become humble? Obviously, the disparity in performance between him and Bell recently made him a little discouraged. Bell broke the scoring record for two consecutive years and won the championship softly, but he fell into a goal drought, which made the already advantageous position Bale looks even more invincible.

In fact, as far as 2012 is concerned, Ronaldo's performance was not bad. He played 71 official games and scored a total of 67 goals, including 44 goals in the league, 13 goals in the Champions League, 3 goals in the Copa del Rey, 2 goals in the Spanish Super Cup, and 5 goals for the national team. Performing a total of 4 hat tricks and 11 braces throughout the year, the Portuguese set a new career high for annual goals, breaking the annual scoring record of 60 goals set in 2011.

However, although the La Liga championship, the Spanish Super Cup championship and the European Cup quarter-finals have made Ronaldo a popular candidate for the Ballon d'Or, Bale's BUG-level outbreak this year left Ronaldo speechless.

Of course, no one doubts that Bell will win the Golden Ball for the second consecutive year. "Alien" Ronaldo said in an interview: "I think there is no doubt that Bell will win the competition with Messi and Ronaldo. Although the other two candidates are also very good, Bell is definitely superior."

However, Ronnie also hinted that Bell's defense of the Ballon d'Or was partly due to the lack of competition in today's football. He said: "In my era, there were Zidane, Figo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho... There are far more people capable of competing than there are now.”

Now, it’s finally time to announce the Golden Globe Awards, although everyone knows that there is no suspense about this year’s Golden Globe Awards.

………………

Before the start of the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards, the organizing committee arranged a regular press conference, attended by Ballon d'Or candidates Bale, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ferguson and Coleman, who were nominated for the Best Coach Award, also attended the press conference, but the madman Mourinho did not come to the scene.

Bale, Ronaldo, and Messi sat together to accept questions from reporters. Although the three of them are often in contact in the group, Messi and Ronaldo still seem a bit disharmonious when facing outsiders. The overall confrontation between the two in La Liga did not change because of Bell's matchmaking, so Bell Undoubtedly sitting in the middle.

When reporters asked Bell to look back on 2012 and look forward to 2013, he said succinctly: "I am very happy when Manchester United defended the five crowns, European Cup championship, Olympic championship in 2012 and Manchester United's strong performance in the Premier League and Champions League this season. This is a unique year in my life and I hope my 2013 can be as great as 2012."
