Football King Bale

The moment Ridgewell poked the ball into Tottenham's goal, Bell's eyes widened.

There is a saying in China called tit for tat. Is it really that mysterious?

The previous goal our team scored was when, as the left midfielder, he broke through the opponent's veteran Karl, and then sent a cross. Center forward Crouch headed the ball and was stabbed into the goal from close range by other players.

As for Birmingham's goal, it was also their left midfielder who broke through his own veteran. Captain Ledley King then sent a cross, which was crossed by center Jerome, and then was stabbed into the goal by a Birmingham player from close range.

If we think further, in the first round of the match between the two sides, our side relied on a last-minute goal to beat Birmingham and get three points.

Now, the opponent scored a goal at the last minute of the game, fought back tenaciously, and snatched a point from Tottenham.

Damn it, if you think about it carefully, it’s too mysterious, right?

Birmingham's goal was an absolute draw. It was basically impossible for Tottenham to exceed the score.

In fact, this was the case. Shortly after the Birmingham players finished celebrating their goal and returned to the field, referee Atwell blew the whistle to end the game.

………………

After the game, there were many voices criticizing Tottenham in the English media. They believed that they were too conservative after taking the lead and only wanted to hold on to the one-goal lead. As a result, they lost all the three points they got. .

Tottenham are also very frustrated. This game was tied. Tottenham has lost three consecutive games in the league. In the Premier League standings, they have gone from 4 points ahead of Chelsea to 3 points behind Chelsea.

Because just over two hours after the game between Tottenham and Birmingham, Chelsea beat Burnley 2:1 away from home, raising the points to 54 points.

Not only did Spurs fail to regain top spot, but by the next day, they couldn't even hold on to second place. Because the Red Devils defeated the Gunners Arsenal 3:1 at the Emirates Stadium, the league points reached 53 points, surpassing Tottenham's 51 points!

Then, the media across England was completely filled with reports of Tottenham's collapse.

As for Bell, he has also become the target of criticism by major media because Bell did not perform well in the January games, especially in the league. He missed the game against Liverpool and played against Hull City and Birmingham. He couldn't score a goal in the game, not even an assist.

As a player who won the best player of the month in November and December, the contrast in performance is too great.

Because of Bell's sluggish performance, Tottenham's record in the league is also very bad. They only achieved two draws and one loss in three rounds, losing a total of 7 points.

Throughout January, Bale's only praiseworthy achievement was that he scored three goals in the two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City to help Tottenham advance to the Carabao Cup final.

………………

Entering February, Tottenham and Bale's luck showed no sign of changing.

On the evening of February 2nd, GMT, the Premier League held a 21st round make-up match. Chelsea, the blue team, was tied with Hull City in an away game, with the score being 1:1.

Despite this, Chelsea's lead over Tottenham has expanded to 4 points!

However, Tottenham's bad luck was not over yet. In the 25th round of the Premier League that followed, they were tenaciously tied by Villa at home, and the score was 0:0!

In this game, Tottenham, aiming for three points, launched a tidal wave of offensive against Villa, but they were always successful but failed to score. According to the statistics of the whole game, Tottenham had a ball possession rate of 72% and shot as many as 35 times, but they failed to score a single goal.

In this game, Bell used Scholes’ experience card.

Because there are not many experience cards left in his hand, the options are also very limited.

Originally, Bell hoped to use Scholes' long-range shot to help the team score, but during the game, Bell's luck was also very bad. He shot 7 times, and although they all hit the door frame, they were missed by Villa four times. The defensive players blocked the hole of the gun, but on the other three occasions, Villa's veteran goalkeeper Friedel blocked the ball and blocked all of them.

Bell is helpless. This old American goalkeeper who was about to become his teammate in the original time and space in a year later cheated again today! And this old guy's skills are even more awesome than his skills?

………………

After the 25th round of the Premier League, there were numerous reports in the major British media about Tottenham's collapse and Bale's goal drought.

Because Tottenham's main competitors, Chelsea and Manchester United, are still continuing their winning rhythm. Manchester United slaughtered deputy captain Portsmouth 5:0 at home, severely pushing the opponent into the abyss of relegation. He is racing on the road to the championship. Chelsea defeated Gunners Arsenal with a score of 2:0 at Stamford Bridge.

Today, the Premier League standings looks like this:

Chelsea has 18 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, scored 60 goals and conceded 20 goals, ranking first with 58 points;

Manchester United has 18 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, scored 61 goals and conceded 20 goals, ranking second with 56 points;

Tottenham had 16 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, scored 59 goals and conceded 25 goals, ranking third with 52 points;

Arsenal has 15 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, scored 60 goals and conceded 32 goals, ranking fourth with 49 points.

Tottenham fans still have some comfort when looking at the Premier League standings, because the North London rivals who lost to the Red Devils and Blues in two consecutive rounds were even worse than them.

This is how people are, when you are in trouble and unexpectedly find someone who is worse off than you, you will feel an inexplicable joy in your heart. Especially if this person who is worse off than you still refuses to deal with you, then the pleasure will be even stronger.

Further down, Liverpool, Manchester City and Villa have a relatively large gap with the top four. Liverpool, ranked fifth, only has 44 points, and has been completely separated by the first group.

The gap between these teams and the first group is all-round.

Liverpool's record is 13 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, scoring 43 goals and conceding 27 goals, with 44 points;

Manchester City's record is 11 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses, scoring 45 goals and conceding 34 goals, with 41 points;

Villa's record is 11 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses, scoring 32 goals and conceding 21 goals, with 40 points.

Therefore, not only are the points gap between these three teams and the first group very obvious, but their offensive firepower is also two levels behind. Because the four teams in the first group all scored around 60 goals.

………………

In fact, according to media reports, both Tottenham and Arsenal have been pulled down by Chelsea and Manchester United.

Because Tottenham's strength is already far behind the three giants, ranking first in the points for multiple consecutive rounds is considered extraordinary performance, and the performance in recent rounds is normal. As for the remaining dozen rounds of games, in the increasingly fierce competition, the Blues and Red Devils will only be pulled further and further apart.

Arsenal has also fallen out of the championship group. The point difference between them and second-placed Manchester United has reached 7 points. With only 13 rounds left in the game, there is basically no possibility of a comeback.

In recent seasons, Arsenal has gradually shown a tendency to collapse in the second half, while the Red Devils and Blues will perform better and better in the second half.

In some media, the teams competing for European qualifications have been divided into three new groups.

The first group is of course Chelsea and Manchester United, who are competing for the championship. They are ahead of several other teams in all aspects.

The second group is Tottenham and Arsenal, the bitter rivals in North London. Although their hopes of competing for the championship are almost shattered, their Champions League seats are still relatively secure. As long as there are no big fluctuations in the results in the later period, it will be difficult for the teams in the third group to steal their Champions League seats.

The third group is the three teams of Liverpool, Manchester City and Villa, and you can even add Birmingham, which is ranked eighth, and they will compete for the Europa League.

In a word, the championship is still a matter between the Red Devils and the Blues, and it has nothing to do with Tottenham, Arsenal, or even other teams.

The Premier League has returned to the rhythm that everyone is most familiar with in recent years!

Or is it the inherent order of the Premier League?
