Football King Bale

Chapter 211 See Records Again!

When Bell completed his signing in the Netherlands and returned to Manchester, it was at a critical moment when the winter transfer window was about to close, and this was also the time when many heavyweight transactions occurred.

And the most shocking thing among them is the news that the Red Army's leading striker golden boy Torres has transferred to the Blues for a price of 50 million pounds.

On January 28, local time in the UK, the Spanish golden boy Torres officially submitted an application for leaving the team. At that time, Liverpool officially rejected the request of the Red Army striker.

Due to Torres' repeated demands, Liverpool was forced to negotiate a transfer with Chelsea. At first, Chelsea's offer was only 32.5 million pounds. Since then, the Blues' offer has gradually increased, but the offer of 40 million pounds still did not satisfy Liverpool's appetite, so the first negotiation broke up unhappy. Since then, Liverpool issued an ultimatum, saying that if Chelsea do not pay a transfer fee of 50 million pounds, Torres will stay with the team.

Until the British local time on the 31st, before the winter transfer window closed, Liverpool and Chelsea started negotiations again. After a long tug-of-war, Chelsea took the lead in letting go and finally agreed to Liverpool's asking price of 50 million pounds.

This also means that Torres has become the most valuable player in the winter transfer window in the history of England, and it is also the transfer with the highest turnover in the winter transfer of European football.

Amazingly, the transfer of Torres prompted the final big move: after signing the "golden boy", Chelsea immediately agreed to ask David Kick for 26.5 million pounds; after Liverpool sold Torres, they immediately used 35 million pounds Take Carroll and pay Suarez a transfer fee of 22.8 million pounds!

The last day of transfers in the Premier League reached £134.3 million, while cash transactions throughout the winter transfer window reached a new high of more than £200 million. .

All because of one name: Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

In just one day, Torres paid 50 million pounds, Louis 21 million pounds + chip Matic (valued at 4 million pounds), and Abramovich made a move of 75 million pounds!

Liverpool bought Carroll for £35 million, Newcastle offered Nzobia for £10 million, etc., all of which are the "butterfly effect" brought by the Russians.

Previously, Manchester City once replaced Chelsea's "rich and powerful" status. In the winter window, signing Dzeko for 27 million pounds is already a great deal.

But now it seems that in this winter, the whole of Europe is dwarfed by Chelsea, and Abramovich reminds the world with his actions: I am still the rich man.

No wonder Manchester United star Ferdinand, who was sitting and watching the big moves in the transfer market, exclaimed on Weibo: The transfer market is crazy!

Ferdinand also sighed: "Wow! In this crazy transfer market, how much will Bell, Ronaldo, Messi or... myself be worth? More than 100 million pounds?!"

………………

Of course, what Ferdinand said is just that. Whether it is Bell, Ronaldo, Messi, or even Ferdinand himself, they are all real items not for sale in their respective clubs. As the real core of their respective teams, unless the three clubs of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are crazy, they will be allowed to transfer and leave.

In the face of the frenzied transfer market, Manchester United appears to be very calm, they are methodically preparing for the next game.

On the night of February 1st,

Manchester United will face the challenge of Aston Villa in the Theater of Dreams.

Manchester United's encounter with Aston Villa has given hope to many of the Red Devils' competitors, because they have met Manchester United nearly three times in the league, and Villa's 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss are still good.

Even the one they lost, which was the 13th round match against Manchester United at Villa Park this season, they almost won because they once led 2-0, but Bell's outburst made them fall short and had no choice but to swallow. The bitter pill of losing 2:3.

Therefore, the direct competitors of the Red Devils all believe that Villa may have a role in blocking Manchester United.

But no one thought that in just 49 seconds of the opening, Rooney succeeded in receiving a long pass from goalkeeper Van der Sar, and Villa's resistance was only a short moment.

Rooney's lightning goal set a record for the fastest goal in the Premier League this season, and Manchester United, which had made a fantastic start, also brought the game into its own rhythm.

………………

Afterwards, Manchester United has been launching a fierce attack on the Villa team, especially the two wingers played extremely actively. Bell soon made another victory for Manchester United, expanding the score to 2-0.

In stoppage time in the first half, Nani made a cross from the right, and Rooney outflanked and pushed, scoring another victory for the Red Devils. While scoring twice for the first time this season, Manchester United extended their lead to three goals!

Although Villa made a cross from Downing's right in the 50th minute and Darren Bent followed up with a push from the center to score the goal, but due to the lack of creative passes, the visiting team with a strengthened lineup was always suppressed by the home team.

In the 63rd minute, Bell, who had changed positions with Nani and came to the right, made a pass from the bottom. Vidic flew the header in the penalty area. Rooney got the ball and returned it. The score on the field became 4:1!

Ten minutes later, Manchester United scored again, and Bale once again broke through Villa's goal and scored twice.

This is also Bell's 31st goal in the Premier League this season, just one step away from the scoring record he created in the Premier League's 20-team era last season.

Even the goal record from the original 22 teams is only 3 goals!

At the same time, this is also Manchester United's 80th goal in the Premier League this season. It is the first team in Europe to reach this number. The firepower is terrifying!

In the Premier League, Arsenal, who scored the second most shots, has now only scored 50 goals.

In the end, Manchester United won Villa 5:1 at home.

………………

With Manchester United winning Villa, they have maintained an unbeaten run of 29 games in the Premier League, tying the longest unbeaten record in top league history set by the invincible Manchester United in 1998-1999.

From December 26, 1998 to September 25, 1999, Manchester United had won 29 consecutive league games without defeat. At that time, Manchester United started from beating Nottingham Forest 3:0 to the 0:5 defeat to Chelsea in the 1999-2000 season.

After defeating Villa, Manchester United not only tied the record, but also continued to be the only unbeaten team in the four major European leagues. Other strong teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Inter Milan have suffered at least one defeat in the league.

To tie the glorious record, the media will inevitably compare the current Manchester United team with the treble-winning team back then.

In terms of record, Manchester United scored 20 wins and 9 draws in 29 unbeaten games that year, scoring 64 goals and conceding 24 goals; now Manchester United's unbeaten record is 25 wins and 4 draws, scoring 89 goals and conceding 21 goals.

Obviously, today's Manchester United team has obvious advantages in terms of winning games, offensive firepower, and even defense.

After tying the record in team history, Manchester United's next goal will be Arsenal's 38-round unbeaten record in the 2003-2004 season.

"The Times" columnist Barnes believes: "Manchester United is the team that combines beauty and performance best. If Ferguson is not too aggressive, they can continue to remain unbeaten."

The "Guardian" also expressed the same opinion: "Manchester United still has potential to be tapped. Rooney finally played well, but this is not the best of them. It is hard to say that Manchester United will easily lose points when they enter the end of the season."

However, there are also many celebrities who are not optimistic that Manchester United will be unbeaten throughout the season, especially in the context of Chelsea and Liverpool desperately buying people through winter transfers.

Especially Chelsea, who also hold 2 games with Manchester United. After getting Torres and Luiz, Chelsea's offensive and defensive ends have been improved, and they will become the biggest challenger to Manchester United's unbeaten golden stature. You must know that Manchester United's 29-game unbeaten record ended at Chelsea's feet last time.

Perhaps as Ancelotti said: "Manchester United is still unbeaten? That's because they haven't met us yet."

………………

While Manchester United beat Villa at the Theater of Dreams, there were three other games in the Premier League. They are Arsenal vs. Everton at home, Chelsea away to challenge the black cats Sunderland, and the battle between West Brom and Wigan, the two relegation teams.

After 24 rounds of the league, Arsenal, which ranks second in the standings, has fallen behind the leader Manchester United by as much as 17 points, which has almost declared that the Gunners have withdrawn from the league title.

In the remaining 15 games, the Gunners want to regain the 17-point gap under the stable Red Devils, which is really hard to beat!

In order to maintain the theoretical hope of winning the championship, Arsenal can no longer lose points now.

However, Arsenal, eager to catch up with the leaders, encountered a tenacious resistance from Everton at the Emirates' home court.

In the 24th minute, Saha scored with a low shot and opened the scoring for the visiting team. Judging from the slow-motion playback, the former Manchester United striker was offside before the shot, but the referee Mason discussed with the lineman and still determined that the goal was valid.

Afterwards, Arsenal counterattacked vigorously, and finally in the 70th minute, Arshavin scored with a single volley to equalize the score. After 5 minutes, Van Persie took a corner kick and Koscielny scored with a header, leading the score for the Gunners. In the end, Arsenal defeated Toffee with a score of 2:1, preventing Manchester United from further expanding their points advantage.

The Chelsea players were only 4 minutes into the game at the Stadium of Light before being volleyed by the home team Bardsley. However, Ashley Cole "earned" a penalty kick in the penalty area in the 13th minute, and Lampard scored the goal.

After the Blue Lions equalized the score, they began to turn away. In the 22nd minute, Kalou took advantage of the opponent's goalkeeper's mistake to shoot an empty goal and overtook the score.

However, tenacious Sunderland 4 minutes later, Richardson took a free kick and scored directly to tie the score again.

In the 60th minute, Chelsea made a supplementary shot from Terry to overtake the score again.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Anelka scored another goal, and Chelsea extended their lead to two goals, sealing the victory for the visiting team.

It is worth mentioning that Torres, who had just transferred from Liverpool to Chelsea, did not play in this campaign.

As for the other game, West Brom and Wigan played 2:2, each scoring one point, which can be regarded as a result acceptable to each other.
