Football King Bale

Chapter 222 The Champions League knockout rounds are coming

Scored 35 goals in 24 games, averaging 1.46 goals per game. Even in other leagues, this is a very scary goal rate. In the current five major leagues, the data of Messi, Ronaldo and Bale are relatively close.

Since the FIFA Ballon d'Or award ceremony, Ronaldo has been in a ball shortage and has not scored in La Liga for nearly a month. This has also made him close to Messi on the La Liga scorer list. In the last round of La Liga, although Cristiano Ronaldo broke the ball drought with a perfect performance of scoring twice, thus increasing his La Liga goals this season to 24 goals, he also performed a hat trick and led Barcelona had a 16-game winning streak to catch up with Messi.

Now, after 23 rounds of La Liga, both of them have scored 24 goals, and both have super performances averaging more than 1 goal per game. However, compared with the crazy Bell, they are much inferior.

Recall that when the FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards Ceremony was held, the Portuguese was only one goal behind Bell, and Messi was only 5 goals behind Bell. But a month later, the two fell behind Bell by 11 goals.

During this period, Messi had an outstanding performance of 6 goals in 5 games, but compared with Bell's performance of 12 goals in 6 games, the gap is very obvious.

With Bell's crazy scoring trend, people no longer dare to predict how much he will improve the Premier League scoring record this season.

What is more optimistic is that he will continue his crazy performance of 1.46 goals per game in the next 11 rounds of the Premier League. Then he can score another 16 goals this season, which will make his season goal number exceed 50. Reached a terrifying 51 goals!

If Bell can really achieve this achievement, it will not only increase his scoring record in the Premier League 20 teams just set last season by 19 goals, but also mean that he will become the top scorer in a single season among the five major leagues. players.

La Liga's single-season scoring record is held by former Real Madrid star Hugo Sanchez. Sanchez is one of the best strikers in Mexican history. He is also the benchmark for Mexican football players studying abroad in Europe so far. In the 1989-1990 season, this legendary Mexican striker scored 38 goals in 35 La Liga games, the most in a single season. His efficiency reached 1.086, helping Real Madrid win many honors. So far, his scoring record has been maintained for 20 seasons.

The Serie A single-season scoring record is held by former AC Milan legendary striker Gennar Nordahl. In the distant 1949-1950 season, the Swede scored 35 goals for AC Milan in Serie A in one season. Today, this record has stood for sixty years!

The player with the most goals in a single season in the Bundesliga is Gerd Muller. This scoring machine set a record of 40 goals in a single season in the 1971-1972 season. This was the only time in the Bundesliga that a player scored 40 goals in a single season. The ball count reaches 40. Considering that there are only 18 teams participating in the Bundesliga today, it may be very difficult to surpass Gerd Muller's record.

Ligue 1's single-season scoring record appeared in the distant 1970-1971 season. In that season, Marseille striker Skobral scored a crazy 44 goals and won the French Ligue 1 Golden Boot Award, and also won the European Golden Boot. The reason why Skobral performed well that season was also thanks to his pursuer Keita. Keita also scored 42 goals in Ligue 1 that season. It was his pursuit that gave Croatian striker Skobral all his firepower. opened, and finally created this record that no one can break so far.

………………

certainly,

Bell is currently only likely to break the single-season scoring record in the five major leagues, including the Premier League, and these so-called five major leagues do not include the old English League One, the predecessor of the Premier League.

If the old English League One is also included, Bell's current performance is still far behind if he wants to break his single-season scoring record.

The old League One single-season goalscoring record is held by former Toffees legendary striker Dixie Dean. In the 1927-1928 League One season, Dean represented Everton and scored 60 goals in 39 League One games, averaging more than 1.5 goals per game. Dean almost single-handedly helped the team win the league championship that season.

It is worth mentioning that Dean is only 21 years old this year, the same age as Bell, who led Tottenham to win the championship last season.

Compared to the current situation where scoring 30 goals in a season has become a luxury for Premier League shooters, 60 goals is completely a "myth" that has never been achieved before or since. Even looking at the entire history of English football, Dean's record is unmatched. The second highest in history is 49 goals created by Aston Villa's Tom Warning in the 1930-1931 season. The 11-goal gap puts the single-season scoring myth created by Dean out of reach.

If Bell wants to hit Dean's record, it means that he will score no less than 25 goals in the next 11 rounds of Premier League games!

This is almost impossible!

But even if Bell stops scoring goals in the next Premier League games this season, he is already great enough, and he is even worthy of the title of the top scorer in the Premier League era that some media put on him!

Because as far as the Premier League is concerned, he only participated in 78 games but scored 69 goals, which is definitely outstanding. Even super shooters like Shearer, Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy are hard to come by!

………………

Less than three days after the Manchester United team returned to Manchester from London, Manchester United ushered in another game. They faced the challenge of the amateur team Crowley at the Theater of Dreams.

This is the fifth round of the FA Cup this season.

The two teams have never met in an official match. Crawley City is in the fifth tier of the English non-professional league. If Crawley City can upset Manchester United, they will go down in the history of the FA Cup and become the first amateur team to reach the top 8 since World War II. .

In order not to be regarded as the pillar of shame in history, Ferguson seemed to be more careful this time. Although he arranged for many main players, including Bell, to rest in preparation for the Champions League knockout match next week, he still sent out many main players or first-line players. The team's important rotation players played, Rafael, Carrick, Anderson, Hernandez and other strong players all started, and Rooney sat on the bench just in case.

Crawley can become one of the few amateur teams to advance to the last sixteen of the FA Cup since World War II, which should not be underestimated. Although there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, Manchester United did not play easily. In the first half, Manchester United did not have their first shot until the 28th minute but scored. In the second half, Ferguson replaced Rooney but the offense still showed little improvement. At the last moment, Crawley City launched a fierce attack and a shot hit the crossbar, which shocked Manchester United. In a cold sweat, Manchester United finally won a thrilling 1:0 to advance.

………………

Manchester United defeated the non-professional league team Crawley at home and successfully reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. However, the fighting strength of Crawley Town made Ferguson feel scared.

"What was written on the scoreboard today is not the truth, it was their day, there is no doubt about that. Based on their effort in the second half, they really deserved to get a draw (replay in the second leg). They let us It's difficult, we're behind every time we win the ball. It's disappointing, but we have a lot of players who maybe don't understand what the FA Cup is yet. Maybe, for them, it's The most important lesson I learned." Ferguson said in an interview with Manchester United's official TV station.

"We played very well in the first half, we played a lot of good combinations, maybe led by three or four goals, but in the end it was just a slim 1-0 lead. Sometimes all you need in a cup is a promotion, We've done that in the past and today was another example. When they played extremely well and our two full-backs went off, it was a big problem, but the players we brought in were good players."

"Anderson had a bit of a ligament problem so we had to take those players off. It's not easy when you do that because it unbalances the team. We ended up having to move Fletcher to right-back. He's doing well, but he's still not at his best. We'll see what happens with those injuries tomorrow."

………………

In fact, Ferguson didn't have much time to look at the injuries in the team, because shortly after the game with Crowley, he led the team to France, because on Wednesday night, they will challenge Ligue 1 away from home. Team Marseille.

This is the first leg of the first phase of the Champions League knockout stages this season.

Although Manchester United's draw with Marseille in this round of knockout rounds is considered a good draw, Ferguson does not dare to underestimate any opponent, because just before, they were almost tied by an amateur team, not to mention that the opponent was still Marseille, a powerful team in Ligue 1, is gone.

What's more, the first four Champions League knockout games in the middle of last week were already indifferent.

If Bell wants to hit Dean's record, it means that he will score no less than 25 goals in the next 11 rounds of Premier League games!

This is almost impossible!

But even if Bell stops scoring goals in the next Premier League games this season, he is already great enough, and he is even worthy of the title of the top scorer in the Premier League era that some media put on him!
