Football King Bale

The game continued, and by this time, other Manchester United players also had the idea of ​​​​turning back and winning.

The continuous applause and cheers from the fans at Old Trafford greatly boosted the morale of the Manchester United players.

Manchester United's momentum grew higher and higher, launching wave after wave of attacks towards Manchester City's goal.

"Yaya Toure! Yaya Toure was passed by Bell again. Bell's shoulder feinted, and he suddenly accelerated and threw away Yaya Toure's defense."

"After passing Yaya Toure, Bale quickly attracted three Manchester City defenders to see how he handled the ball."

Obviously, Manchester City defenders are a little afraid of Bell. He just cut in from the left wing, passed only one person, and immediately attracted three Manchester City players to block it.

How afraid were they that Bell would rush forward and increase his speed?

Looking at the three serious-faced defenders, Bell's mouth suddenly curved.

Bell's weird smile shocked the three Manchester City defenders. What tricks is this kid going to do?

Bell's right foot passed over the football, making a feint. When his center of gravity was almost over the football, the heel of his left foot suddenly knocked the football, and then the ball rolled towards the center.

"It's a trick! Bell used a very fancy passing method. He didn't choose to pass the ball, but passed the football across the middle."

………………

"Modric! Modric stepped in from the back and calmly controlled Bale's pass."

"Man City missed this ball and Modric was left unguarded!"

"Does Bale have eyes behind his back? How did he see Modric coming forward? And the pass was so accurate!"

Bell's flower-arranging foot elicited an exclamation of exclamation.

The Croatian midfielder is one of the top midfielders that has emerged in world football in recent years. In addition to his superb passing and organizational skills, another one of his best-known skills in football is long-range shooting.

Modric rushed forward quickly, and soon he was in front of the football. In front of him was a large open space.

Modric raised his head and glanced at Joe Hart's position in front of Manchester City's goal. At the same time, he swung his legs and fired angrily!

boom!

The football was like a cannonball, flying high into the sky and heading straight for the Manchester City goal.

Joe Hart flew up. He opened his teeth and claws like a flying octopus. He raised his arms high and just touched the football.

The ball hit Joe Hart's glove, deflected and soared high into the air, then sailed over the crossbar and into the stands behind the goal.

There was a cry of regret in the stands at Old Trafford!

………………

"Joe Hart did a great job! He saved Modric's long shot! He made a world-class save!"

"Hehe, yes. Modric has already shot this ball very well, the ball is fast and the angle is good. But Joe Hart made no mistakes this time. He showed what a world-class goalkeeper should do. The performance, he just flew out and blocked the football, which is amazing."

"It's a pity. If Modric had scored this long shot, Manchester United would have completed the comeback."

"Many people may have a lot of confusion about Joe Hart, because he has been the backdrop for some fairy balls too many times, but it must be admitted that Joe Hart is actually a world-class goalkeeper. In the Premier League this season, Before this round of games, Manchester City had conceded the fewest goals. They had only conceded 26 goals in 30 league games, which was 6 fewer goals than Chelsea, the second-best defense! Among them, Joe Hart took the credit. Greatest!"

Both Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu lamented Modric's failure to score, and at the same time praised Joe Hart's wonderful performance, and also defended Joe Hart.

In fact, it would be difficult for any other goalkeeper to perform better for some of the world-famous goals that Joe Hart was scored on.

Of course, the fact that the media blames Joe Hart so much for perfection is also the result of Manchester City's increasingly important position in world football. If Manchester City were still the Premier League lift team they were a few years ago,

The pressure on Joe Hart will never be this great.

………………

Watching the football flying high, Modric held his head in his hands, looking very annoyed.

Then, he glanced to his left, just in time to see Bell looking over, and quickly gave him a thumbs up.

At this time, Zhang Lu's voice rang in the ears of Oriental fans: "Bell passed the ball very brilliantly. All Manchester City's defenders went to his side, leaving the center empty. Bell is smart because he is smart. I won’t fight you head-on. Since you are all running over to mark me, I will pass the ball to the center where the defense is weakest and let my teammates score goals.”

Zhan Jun smiled and added: "It's still a trick pass."

Zhang Lu nodded and said: "Yes. With this ball, Bell was uncharacteristically playing tricks. In people's impression, Bell is a player who pursues practicality, but his skills are actually very good. He is just very good. Just stop using these fancy tricks.”

Zhan Jun agreed: "Director Zhang is right. I remember there was a saying that there were three major misunderstandings in world football: Messi doesn't work hard, Cristiano Ronaldo has no talent, and Bale has no skills. From this pass just now, It can be seen from the ball that Bell's skills are indeed good, and his mentality is really good. The court is still in a deadlock, but he can still have such a good mentality, as well as his calm analysis and judgment of the situation. This player is incredible. ”

Although Bell's pass did not result in a goal, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu still spoke highly of him. This may be what differentiates them from other commentators as "understanding football emperors".

In terms of explanation style, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu are both very unique. They are very good at data and can be said to be at their fingertips.

Zhang Lu, on the other hand, likes to dig into details very much and appreciates players who use their brains and are particularly good at small skills. Although he is not always right, he does have his own ideas and thoughts.

………………

The game continued, and the situation on the field fell into a stalemate again. After being threatened by Manchester United several times, although Mancini did not make tactical adjustments, the Manchester City players on the field took the initiative to make tactical adjustments.

Zhang Lu immediately said: "Another thing, Manchester City should pay attention to. From Manchester City's last goal to this pass, Bell is looking for Yaya Toure intentionally or unintentionally. Yaya Toure is a He is a very good defensive player. He has a strong physical fitness and is from Barcelona. He also has good foot skills, but why did Bale choose him?"

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were old partners, and they immediately said: "Because Yaya Toure has a yellow card."

Zhang Lu nodded and said: "Yes. Last time, Yaya Toure received a yellow card because of defending Bell. Now, Bell has understood Yaya Toure's mentality of not daring to foul, and took the initiative to come to him. This is Jean Yaya Toure is passive.”

Zhan Jun said with deep sympathy: "For a player with good skills and extremely fast speed like Bell, sometimes you have to use fouls to stop him. However, Yaya Toure got a yellow card and he did not dare to foul. This gave Bell a chance. If Manchester City wants to limit Bell, they must make adjustments at the position of Yaya Toure. Otherwise, Yaya Toure will be passed by Bell again and again in the next game. .”

Zhang Lu took over and said: "Yaya Toure himself is a barrier in front of Manchester City's central defender, but if the barrier does not work, the pressure on Manchester City's central defender will be too great."

I don’t know if he heard the comments of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, but Mancini began to make substitutions, and he substituted two people in a row. Lescott replaced Nasri and Aguero replaced Gareth Barry. , Manchester City changed to 3412, or 532.

Mancini did not replace Yaya Toure, because as far as this Manchester City team is concerned, Yaya Toure is definitely one of the best players, both offensive and defensive. Although he was restrained because of the yellow card, there was still a way to solve it.

Mancini's solution is to equip Yaya Toure with a bodyguard. He asked Milner to recycle and partner with Yaya Toure in a double defensive midfielder.

Milner is definitely a jack-of-all-trades midfielder, and he is also a guy who can't run to death. The tactical guidance Mancini asked Aguero to give Milner was to always keep an eye on Bell and pay attention to protecting Yaya Toure. .

………………

Bell quickly noticed Manchester City's tactical adjustments, because he discovered that Milner was not far away from him at any time. As soon as he received the ball, he could immediately come to help defend.

Of course, Bell knows Milner very well. This is a real unstoppable player. Bell felt that this guy's physical ability was simply a bug. He didn't know if he had a plug-in, but it was just physical?

There's nothing wrong with it. Apart from Milner's excellent physical fitness, the rest is ordinary, his technique is rough, and his defensive ability is also very average.

Bale is smart and has no intention of tangling with Milner. He took the ball, Milner followed immediately, and then Bale distributed the ball.

Soon, the game came to the 80th minute.

Ferguson also made personnel adjustments. He replaced Rooney with Hernandez, and replaced Van Persie with Welbeck. On the one hand, he was able to retain strength for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, and at the same time, he passed the front line. The personnel on the field have been adjusted to maintain offensive vitality.

As a result, Manchester United's three substitution places have been used up, but Mancini still has one substitution place in hand.

Eighty-second minute.

Bell received the ball in the midfield, and Milner quickly pressed forward according to his previous rhythm.

Bell's shoulders faltered, and he suddenly lifted the football five meters to the right. Then he turned sideways, avoided Milner's frontal defense, and went around the right side of his body.

Immediately afterwards, Bell accelerated his sprint and the football returned to his feet.

"Beautiful pass, Bale passed Milner! Milner's attack was too reckless!"
