Football King Bale

At the post-match press conference, the head coaches of both teams, Lao Lei and Pulis, had a falling out.

Old Ray believed that Stoke City was wasting their talent by participating in football matches. They should participate in rugby matches or boxing matches, and cited irrefutable evidence: Stoke City was whistled for a total of 35 fouls in the entire game. This is the result of the referee Mike Dean taking into account that Stoke City is playing at home and being merciful. If the penalty was called normally, the number of fouls committed by Stoke City in this game would definitely exceed the 50 mark!

At the same time, Lao Lei also questioned the referee Mike Dean's law enforcement standards, because Stoke City was only awarded three yellow cards for so many bad fouls, two of which were used on Whitehead. Tottenham had only 4 fouls in the game, and the nature of the fouls was obviously not as good as Stoke City, but they were awarded 2 yellow cards.

Lao Lei's doubts are well-founded, because Tottenham played too civilized compared to Stoke City in this game. The two yellow cards they received seemed very unjust.

In the 63rd minute, Bell brought down a Stoke City defensive player in the penalty area. Mike Dean awarded a penalty kick. A Stoke City player approached Bell and insulted Bell for diving. Hector helped Bell and pushed the opponent. The players tried hard, but the provocative Stoke City player was fine, but Hector got a yellow card.

In the 87th minute of the game, Kranica delayed a little while taking a free kick, but was judged as intentional delay by McDean and was shown another yellow card.

You know, the situation at that time was that Tottenham led 3:0 and had already secured the victory.

………………

Of course, Stoke City coach Pulis obviously has a different view on the game.

Pulis believes Stoke City's win was stolen from Tottenham. Bell's two dives, one caused Whitehead to be sent off, and the other caused Stoke City to be awarded a penalty kick. It was through that penalty kick that Tottenham expanded the score advantage to two goals, which was a heavy blow. Stoke City morale.

Pulis said in an old-fashioned way that Bell is indeed a genius, but if he does not get rid of his habit of diving to show his cleverness, it will definitely affect the height that he can reach in his career, because there is no one who loves to flop and show his cleverness. Will like it.

However, when Pulis said these words, he completely forgot that his players fouled Bell 12 times in the game. Moreover, this was the result of Bell avoiding many fouls committed by Stoke City players and McDean did not whistle.

In addition, Whitehead received a second yellow card on Bell because he tackled Bell with his feet off the ground from the front. If Bell hadn't jumped up to avoid it, the broken leg might have been minor.

As for the time when Stoke City was awarded a penalty kick, their players were knocked down by Stoke City players from behind with the ball when Bell made a breakthrough and was about to have a one-on-one shot.

Regarding Pulis's words, Lao Lei naturally refuted them face to face, saying that Pulis was telling lies with open eyes. Anyone who has watched the game knows that Pulis' team is completely anti-football. Such football If a team is suspended from the entire team, everyone will support it.

As for Pulis' accusation against Bell, Lao Lei thinks it is even more groundless. Given the level of fouls Stoke City players committed against Bell today, it is a great blessing that Bell can walk off the field intact. Contrary to what Pulis said, if Bell does not strengthen his protection on the court, it will really affect the height he can reach.

………………

The match between Tottenham and Stoke City has a high level of attention because Tottenham is now the top team. But the original focus of the game was not this one.

It was the Double Red Club performed at the Dream Theater.

As the two most successful teams in English history, every clash between the Red Devils Manchester United and the Red Army Liverpool will attract global attention. What can be compared to it is probably the so-called battle of the century between the two Western Premier League powers.

Even though Liverpool's performance in the Premier League era was completely crushed by the Red Devils, as far as the Double Red Club is concerned, Manchester United has never taken advantage. Liverpool have won the last three meetings between the two sides, especially their 4-1 win at Old Trafford last season, which was one of Manchester United's few humiliating defeats in recent years.

Even looking at the historical records of the two teams, the Red Devils still do not have a clear advantage. There have been a total of 178 clashes between the two sides in history. Manchester United has 68 wins, 50 draws and 60 losses, but they only have a slight advantage.

However, this time in the double red meeting, the Red Devils, who were eager to score points to keep their hopes of winning the championship, got their wish. They reversed the Red Army 2:1 at Old Trafford and scored 69 points after 31 league rounds, closely chasing the previous leader. Tottenham defeated Stoke City away from home one day.

Currently, Tottenham have one game less but have scored 70 points, strongly leading the Premier League standings.

As for Chelsea, another strong contender for the league championship, they played at the end of this round, but were tenaciously tied by Violence in the away game.

After this war, Chelsea, who had completed 30 Premier League games, only scored 65 points, and was even overtaken by Arsenal, who had recently won consecutive games. Arsenal have 67 points after 31 games.

Similar to the fierce competition in the standings, the competition in the Premier League scorer's list is equally fierce.

Bale scored a goal against Stoke City, taking his league tally to 26 goals. But this did not allow him to lead the scorer list alone, because Rooney also scored in the Double Red meeting, and the little fat man also scored 26 goals, which did not make Bell stand out.

In the game against Blackburn, although Chelsea only scored one point, Drogba was not widened by Bale and Rooney in the competition for the Premier League scorer list. The Cote d'Ivoire Warcraft scored Chelsea's only goal. Increased his league goals to 22 goals, continuing to chase Bale and Rooney.

In midweek, Tottenham ushered in an FA Cup quarter-final rematch with Fulham. Because Lao Lei has strategically given up on the FA Cup, the main players in this game, including Bell and Modric, are exempt from the competition.

However, this lineup, which was almost full of substitutes, defeated the Farmers 3:1 at home.

In the game, Fulham took the lead in scoring. In the 17th minute, Duff made a direct pass and Zamora curved the ball from 14 yards into the lower left corner.

However, Fulham's goal seemed to wake up the Tottenham team. They then scored 3 consecutive goals to reverse the situation. In the 47th minute, Bentley's free kick from the left bounced into the far corner. In the 60th minute, Bentley made a pass from the right, and Pavlyuchenko volleyed into the net from a small angle. In the 66th minute, Jenas made a direct pass, and Gudjohnsen passed Schwarzer and shot into the empty goal.

In this way, Tottenham reversed Fulham 3:1 in the rematch and advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. In the semi-final draw on March 7, the winner between Tottenham and Fulham was Pompeii, who had almost locked in a Premier League relegation spot.

The other semi-final matchup is Villa and Chelsea.

The two semi-finals will be held on April 10 and 11 respectively. The team that advances to the final will receive a bonus of 900,000 pounds provided by the Football Association, and the eliminated team will also receive 450,000 pounds.

This result put Tottenham in a bit of a dilemma. Originally, because Lao Lei sent a substitute lineup to play against Fulham, it was considered a strategic abandonment of the FA Cup. As long as the team is eliminated, things will be easy to handle, and the team only needs to cope with the league. But now they have advanced to the FA Cup, and their opponent is still the underdog Portsmouth. It is a high probability that Tottenham will advance to the FA Cup final.

Now, Tottenham has won the League Cup, has a good momentum in the league, and has a high probability of winning. If they can win the FA Cup again, it will be equivalent to winning the domestic Triple Crown. This is a great achievement that neither the old or new generation hegemons in the UK, Manchester United and Liverpool, have been able to achieve.

Do you want to give it a try? After all, there are only the last two FA Cup games left.

………………

While Tottenham's senior management is hesitant to go all out in the FA Cup, Portsmouth is also working hard for one thing, that is, if they can defeat Tottenham and advance to the FA Cup final, they will qualify for the European War next season. Whether qualifications can be maintained.

The other two teams that may participate in the FA Cup final, Chelsea and Villa, are basically guaranteed to get European seats. In this way, if they advance to the final, they will be qualified for the European competition according to the domestic European qualification distribution.

Due to financial problems, Portsmouth was not only placed under administration, but was also deducted 9 points in the league. This almost locked them in a Premier League relegation spot this season. It also made them fail to meet UEFA standards, so they are still temporarily suspended. Didn't get this European qualification pass. But this does not mean that they are completely isolated from Europe. They still have enough time to strive for this qualification. They are currently actively lobbying the FA, hoping to pass the domestic hurdle first.

The Football Association is also a little annoyed about this, because if it agrees to Portsmouth, it is likely to cause a domestic second-tier league team to play in the Europa League. This is not good for the Premier League to win UEFA points. After all, Portsmouth's strength next season is too weak.

Of course, the FA just has some headaches now, because as long as Tottenham beat Portsmouth, they don't need to have such a headache.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

When Tottenham defeated Fulham in the FA Cup, there were also a number of make-up games in the Premier League in midweek, including one in the 29th round when Chelsea played Portsmouth away.

In the end, the Blues defeated the Pompeii Legion 5-0 in the military port. This victory allowed them to overtake Arsenal in the standings and return to third place in the league.

In the game, Drogba killed everyone in the game, contributed two shots and one pass, raising his league goals to 24 goals, biting Bale and Rooney in front of him.

For a time, the competition for the Premier League standings and the scorer's list entered an anxious state.
