Football King Bale

Because the attacking power of the trident of Bell, Van Persie and Rooney is too powerful, it can be said to be frightening, so some good people combined the first letters of their last names and called it the BVR combination, literally translated as Beyond Visual Range (Visual Range). strike from a distance).

In the fourth round of the new season, the BVR combination showed off its power at the same time for the first time, helping Manchester United win a big victory.

However, Manchester United failed to stay at the top of the standings for long. When this round of games ended, they fell to third place. The top two are the North London duo Arsenal and Tottenham, both teams have three wins and one loss.

No one expected that the Gunners, who had a slow start to the new season, would reach the top of the standings after four league rounds!

In this game, Sneijder, who moved to Arsenal, made his debut and performed very well. It only took him 13 minutes to complete his first assist on behalf of the Gunners.

When the game reached the 13th minute, Gibbs intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a long pass to launch an attack. Sneijder, who was the attacking midfielder, quickly pulled to the side and stopped the ball with a light instep to control the ball. After making a slight adjustment to observe the situation, He swept the ball towards the center and accurately found Giroud who followed up. Giroud easily succeeded in pushing the ball in front of the goal.

Just 2 minutes after completing his first assist, Sneijder sent Walcott an exquisite through ball from the outside of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the little tiger was too hasty when faced with a single opportunity and failed to give Sneijder another chance. Recorded 1 assist.

Pat Nevin, the famous Chelsea star who served as the BBC commentator, couldn't wait to sing praises for the Dutch: "Sneijder just tried a through ball that directly penetrated the five to six-man defense, although it failed to convert in the end. Goal, but I don’t think many people in the Premier League would even think about that passing line.”

What's even more rare is that the deal that Wenger spent a huge sum of 50 million to reach seems to have greatly improved the confidence of the Arsenal team. In the past, Arsenal would always make fans on tenterhooks after being tied. However, today, even if Sunderland tied the score through a penalty kick, the Gunners players seemed quite calm and calm, patiently organizing waves of attacks, and finally won in the away game. Take all 3 points.

Ramsey also talked about this in the post-match interview. He said: "You have seen how he delivers the ball exquisitely to the penalty area. Sneijder is one of the players with the highest number of assists in Europe. He can definitely do it. It creates a lot of opportunities for us.”

According to the technical statistics of the game, Sneijder made a total of 71 passes, which was more than double the 31 times of Sunderland's core midfielder Ji Chengyong, not to mention that the Dutchman also sent 3 threats in the game. The ball, his outstanding organizational skills are evident at a glance.

With the presence of Sneijder, Wenger can also let Cazorla, who prefers to move on the wing, bear some organizational responsibilities and give full play to his offensive firepower, taking the Gunners' offense to a higher level and fighting for this season. Breaking the embarrassing record of 8 years without a championship adds chips.

………………

But Manchester United did not regret losing Sneijder because their schedule was very intensive.

On Tuesday night, Manchester United will face the first group stage opponent of the new Champions League season, Bayer Leverkusen, nicknamed the Pharmaceutical Factory, at Old Trafford.

In recent seasons, Manchester United has played against several teams that have performed well in Germany in recent years. Whether it is Schalke 04, Dortmund, or Bayern, they have all become their defeats. The Red Devils faced the slump of German teams' poor record.

Leverkusen is the only team among the better performing teams in the Bundesliga in recent years that has not yet encountered Manchester United.

Although Bell has heard of pharmaceutical companies for a long time, he doesn't know much about them. Among them, there are two things that are most memorable. The first is that the Pharmaceutical Company led by Ballack won the title of Sanya at the turn of the century. The other thing was that at the beginning of last year, the Pharmaceutical Company was led by Messi at home. After a bloodbath in Barcelona, ​​the two main players of the pharmaceutical company broke into internal strife because they were trying to steal Messi's jersey.

After the news came out, Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo had a great fight with Messi among the three people.

They are all caused by envy, jealousy and hatred. I think these two tall and handsome guys have no rivals to fight for their jerseys. Why does Messi, the short-footed tiger, get such treatment? !

………………

In mid-September, Bale and Manchester United faced the challenge of Bayer Leverkusen at Old Trafford.

In fact, almost all the players in Manchester United are relatively unfamiliar with this team. This is the fifth time the two clubs have met. The first four matches all took place in 2002, when Manchester United remained unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws.

11 years later, when Manchester United welcomed this team again, there was only one player in the team, Giggs, who had experienced the original game. Even Ferdinand was not in the Manchester United team at the time.

In order to get off to a good start in the new season of the Champions League, Ferguson has almost lined up the strongest lineup, with goalkeeper De Gea, four defenders Smalling, Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra, and three midfielders Kante and Kari. The combination of Ke and Modric, the three forwards are Bale, Robin van Persie and Rooney. Pogba, Van Dijk, Giggs, Lindegaard, Hernandez, Cleverley and Valencia were on the bench.

Leverkusen has made three adjustments in the midfield and backfield compared to the domestic league last weekend. Donati, Toprak and Emre Can are allowed to start this campaign.

At the beginning of the first half, Manchester United had the advantage in possession of the ball, but in the first 5 minutes they failed to penetrate the Leverkusen defense, which was determined to retreat.

Facing the Red Devils Manchester United, who have dominated world football in recent years, Leverkusen played very pragmatically, and they had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

It wasn't until the 7th minute of the game that Manchester United got its first shot. Modric received Carrick's through ball, hit it in front of the penalty area, and found Rooney on the right. After adjusting, the little fat man took a shot from inside the arc of the penalty area, but it was blocked by Leverkusen defender Spasic.

After Rooney got a chance to shoot, Robin van Persie, another player in Manchester United's front three, also found a chance to shoot. In the 10th minute, Bell broke through from the left and then passed the ball back to the penalty area in an inverted triangle. Van Persie's left-footed shot from 32 meters away from the goal missed the baseline.

………………

Amid the cheers of more than 70,000 Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, Leverkusen's resistance against Manchester United only lasted 22 minutes, and their city was finally lost.

Van Persie swayed continuously on the left wing and then passed back. Carrick got the ball and knocked it behind him. Bale stepped in and passed the ball from the left wing. Rooney did not adjust his right foot at the front of the small penalty area and hit the ball. The ball flew past Leno and entered the net. Little Fatty continued Two goals scored, Manchester United 1:0 Leverkusen.

Bell, who was heavily targeted by Leverkusen, only got his first shot near the end of the first half. In the 42nd minute, Bell took a free kick from 30 meters away from the left rib and hit the near corner with his right foot. The ball went straight to the dead corner of the near post. But just when the ball was about to fly into Leverkusen's goal, Leno flew up and barely saved the ball, and then the ball missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Subsequently, Bell's corner kick found Van Persie at the back point, but General Van lost his center of gravity in the penalty area and fired with his left foot without any threat.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United led Leverkusen 1:0 into the halftime break.

………………

After the start of the second half, Manchester United continued to take advantage of their home court to suppress Leverkusen. However, Rooney and Robin van Persie both missed opportunities to score.

Especially in the 52nd minute of the game, Van Persie's chance was the most regrettable. Toprak made a low-level mistake in the backcourt and slipped and lost the ball. Rooney got the ball past Leno and then crossed the door at a small angle. Van Persie outflanked him, but failed to kick the ball and missed the opportunity to expand his advantage.

Wasted opportunities will be punished, and two minutes later, Manchester United conceded the ball.

In the 54th minute, Son Heung-min's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Ferdinand. The Korean got the ball again and responded. Rolfes' left-footed shot from 24 meters away hit Carrick and changed the line slightly. De Gea was unable to react in time and could only watch and draw out. The curved ball hit the left post and flew into the net, Leverkusen tied the score 1:1.

However, it didn't take long for Manchester United to overtake the score again. In the 59th minute, Rooney passed back from the right, and Van Persie retreated from 13 meters and shot a volley with his right foot. The ball flew from Leno's hand and into the net to help Manchester United lead 2:1 again. Van Persie has played 6 club games this season. Contributing 6 goals in the game, the state is very hot.

Seeing the two strike partners scoring consecutive goals, Bell was naturally unwilling to lag behind.

The game has been going on for more than an hour, and Leverkusen's players' physical fitness has also entered a bottleneck period. At this time, it is difficult for their players to lock Bell.

In the 68th minute of the game, Bell finally opened his scoring account. Bell received a pass from Modric on the left and dribbled the ball towards the center. His continuous sudden stops and starts made the Leverkusen defensive players unable to keep up with his rhythm. When he arrived on the right side of the penalty area, The team finally found a good chance to shoot, and a curved ball hit the top corner of the goal. Leno could do nothing about it, and Manchester United also took a 3:1 lead.

………………

The two-goal lead made the Manchester United players play more confidently, while the Leverkusen players became a little anxious. In this mood, Leverkusen players quickly made mistakes.

In the 70th minute, De Gea kicked a big goal kick into the frontcourt. Spasic made a header error under Bell's pressure and passed it directly to Rooney. Rooney got the ball into the penalty area and faced Leno and calmly pushed the ball into the near corner. , while scoring twice, helped Manchester United rewrite the score to 41, locking the victory in this game.

When the game was about to enter the 80th minute, Manchester United stabbed Leverkusen again. Rooney received a pass from Modric in the middle and distributed it to the left. Bell stepped on the edge of the penalty area and shot low with his right foot. The ball rolled past Leno's feet and into the net. Manchester United led 5:1.

However, at the last minute of the game, Leverkusen pulled one back. When De Gea made a hasty attack while defending a corner kick and failed to get the ball, Reynaz's header from the edge of the penalty area hit the crossbar and bounced off. Toprak took advantage of Vidic's lax defense and scored with his left foot.
