Football King Bale

One day later in the evening, good news came from the Etihad Stadium next door. Liverpool was a guest at the Etihad Stadium and drew with Manchester City 2:2.

Since then, after 25 league rounds, Manchester United, with 24 wins and 1 loss, is already 19 points ahead of Manchester City, which is second in the standings. Blue Moon's results are 15 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses, and only scored 53 points.

Speaking of which, the gap between Manchester City's results and the same period last season is not big. Last season, Mancini's team had a record of 18 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses after 25 rounds, and scored 57 points, 13 points behind Manchester United, which had 23 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

However, Manchester United's points in the same period this season once again set a new record in team history, and it is also a record for points in the same period in the Premier League. This resulted in Manchester City trailing Manchester United by 19 points.

Shortly after the match between Manchester City and Liverpool ended, that is, at 6 pm local time in Manchester, Manchester United's official website released a message: The team's top star Gareth Bale injured his leg in the match against Fulham, and his return time is tentative. It is uncertain, but it is conservatively estimated that it will take 2-3 weeks to recover.

In other words, Bell's return time will be in mid-to-late February, which is almost certain that he will miss the Champions League quarter-finals and the first leg of AC Milan, or even the second round in late February. May not be able to appear.

………………

This season's Champions League quarter-finals have undergone tremendous changes from the duel in Bell's memory. Manchester United was not unlucky enough to be drawn with Real Madrid, and I don’t know if UEFA wants to take care of Real Madrid or for some other reason.

In December last year, Manchester United played in the Champions League quarter-finals draw during the Club World Cup. The eight opponents were Manchester United against AC Milan, Barcelona against Galatasaray, Real Madrid against Schalke 04, and Bayern Munich. Against Arsenal, Dortmund against Shakhtar Donetsk, Tottenham against Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus against Celtic, Malaga against Porto.

When the results of the draw came out, the UK was in an uproar, and major media outlets expressed that UEFA wanted to destroy the Premier League teams. Because all three teams that advanced to the Champions League knockout rounds encountered strong opponents.

Although AC Milan is not the strongest team among the second-placed teams in the group, it is the team most likely to eliminate Manchester United. As for Real Madrid, although they are the second team in the group, last season, they were defeated by Manchester United by a huge score when they were in good form. Not to mention that Real Madrid, which is now suffering from internal and external troubles, is even less likely to be Manchester United's opponent. .

As for Arsenal and Tottenham, the other two strong teams that qualify second in the group, due to rules, they are destined to be unable to face Manchester United in this draw.

British media said that UEFA had really taken great pains to arrange an opponent like AC Milan for Manchester United. After all, in addition to excluding Real Madrid, Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as Galatasaray who are in the same group as Manchester United, apart from AC Milan, it is impossible to expect Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk and Celtic to be like this. team to stop Manchester United.

As for Arsenal and Tottenham, who are second in the group and advance to the knockout rounds, don't expect to be lucky enough to meet the relatively weak first place in the group like Malaga, Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund.

Of course, this kind of conspiracy theory can only be speculated by the British media, and the media in other countries will not follow suit.

UEFA, on the other hand, naturally denies the so-called conspiracy theory.

………………

As soon as this news was released, the media around the world went crazy.

The British media are wailing, saying what happened to the Premier League this year, this natural and man-made disaster, is it really because God can’t stand the fact that the Premier League has stayed in the first league for too long, and is it going to destroy the Premier League in the Champions League?

After all, among the three Premier League teams that have advanced to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, the only team that is favored by the media and has a greater hope of advancing is Manchester United. As a result, Bale, Manchester United's number one superstar, injured himself.

Before the game even started, Manchester United's strength was reduced by half.

No wonder the British media is so wailing. Everyone has noticed Bell's performance in recent years. It directly determines half of Manchester United's firepower every season. Moreover, he has basically not suffered any injuries in the past three or four seasons, which means that some teams have actively rotated and he has not played.

The Italian media, especially the Milan media, were delighted.

In the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League, they met Manchester United, which had dominated Europe in the past few years. They thought that their path to the Champions League was a hell mode. However, before the game started, good news came. The hell mode was no longer there and had been replaced. A normal difficulty mode.

This feeling is so great!

………………

Not only did the media pay attention to the news of Bell's injury, people related to Bell came to Bell to confirm the situation through phone calls or other methods.

As Bell's agent, Jonathan Barnett was the first to call.

Regarding Barnett, Bell naturally did not hide it, saying that this was a smoke bomb thrown by Manchester United. There was no problem with his injury. If it were not for the team's tactical arrangement, he could play in the Premier League in midweek.

However, Bell still asked Barnett not to reveal to the outside world that he was not injured. Barnett will naturally not disrupt Manchester United and Bell's plan, saying that he will cooperate.

Then Barnett asked, since Bell will not play in the Manchester United game for more than a week, should he take this opportunity to attend several business activities and fulfill his previous agreement with the merchants?

Bell refused without hesitation. If he went to attend a business event at this time, wouldn't that expose his true situation? That's a big deal.

Barnett also knew that his idea was unreliable and did not mention it again after being rejected by Bell.

Later, the old Bell couple and Bell's sister called. To them, Bell just said that the injury was not serious and that as long as he rested for a while, there would be no problem. Otherwise, according to the injury information released by the club, he would not be injured for only two or three weeks.

It's not that Bell wants to deceive them, it's just that they are just ordinary people after all, and their awareness of confidentiality is not that strong. It would be bad if they accidentally reveal Manchester United's plan.

Ronaldo and Messi also called and asked about Bell. To them, Bell said that he was indeed injured, and it was serious. The club said that he would be out for two or three weeks, which was relatively conservative. estimate.

The two comforted Bell and said nothing more. As for their true self in Spain, they all had smiles on their faces, secretly thinking that the guy was finally injured, and now their chance came.

In the past two years, Bell suppressed them too much, and Manchester United also completely suppressed their club, which made them completely uncompetitive in the FIFA Ballon d'Or award selection.

However, Bell was injured just after entering 2013. Although he may not be able to play for a few months, it is undoubtedly very critical for them.

Especially now that the Champions League knockout rounds are approaching, Manchester United may not be a match for AC Milan without Bale.

If Manchester United is eliminated in the knockout round of the Champions League, then in a year without any world competition, Bale, without the Champions League, will undoubtedly be lagging behind in the competition with them.

Therefore, this will be a good opportunity for them to break Bell's suppression of them in the Ballon d'Or selection, especially when Bell's performance in the Champions League group stage was not good.

Although we are friends in private, in the competition for the Golden Globe Award, we are each other's most direct opponents. It would be good if we did not compete through some crooked tricks. Now, we need to seize this God-given opportunity.

………………

After the calls from Ronaldo and Messi, Bell also received calls from some other people, but Bell dealt with them one after another, and then his phone went quiet.

Bell was a little strange. It seemed that Liu Xian'er didn't call? Is it because of the timing issue that she hasn't been informed of this situation yet?

This is quite possible. When Manchester United announced his so-called injury, it was two o'clock in the morning in the East. Liu Xianer did not know that the situation was normal.

However, Bell did not receive a call from Liu Xian'er until noon the next day, which made him a little strange.

Just when Bell couldn't help but prepare to call Liu Xian'er, Liu Xian'er's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It turned out that Liu Xianer saw Bell's injury when she got up early the next morning Eastern Time, and then she flew directly to Manchester to take care of Bell's daily life while he was injured.

As a result, when she opened the door of Bell's villa, she saw Bell flying up while playing with a ball in the yard, and she was immediately dumbfounded.

Although Bell's villa is not big, it does have a private football field. Bell can train at home alone.

When Liu Xian'er arrived, she happened to see Bell practicing shooting alone.

Bell was so pleasantly surprised that he immediately dropped the ball practice and came over to hug Liu Xianer.

After some tenderness, Bell told Liu Xian'er the true situation of the matter, and Liu Xian'er was speechless. The so-called injury that scared her so much turned out to be a plan set by Ferguson and Bell.

However, she doesn't want to expose Ferguson and Bell's plans. At the same time, she will stay in Manchester recently and pretend to take care of Bell wholeheartedly.

The Spring Festival in the East is coming soon, and the young couple can have a happy Spring Festival at their home in the UK.

Naturally, Bell supported Liu Xian'er's decision with both hands. As a person with an Eastern soul, at this time, he is happy to be with his most beloved person.
