Football King Bale

Chapter 262 Messi and Barcelona should thank me

The moment Berbatov kicked the ball into the Schalke 04 goal, the old BBC commentator John Mortensen stretched his voice and shouted: "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! Another one from Bale!" Assist! Berbatov scored Manchester United’s fifth goal in this game! This is also Bell’s fifth assist in this game, which is simply unbelievable!”

"Five assists in a single game is enough for people to see Bell's amazing game state. But unfortunately, he seems to have no chance to score in this game. He should hate Neuer now. Because the German national goalkeeper always allows others to score, but when facing Bell's shots, he always performs very bravely. In the two rounds of the semi-finals, he has saved several threatening shots from Bell."

"Schalke 04 is already 7 goals behind after two rounds. This is the largest score difference in the semi-finals since the Champions League was restructured into the Champions League. It is the largest semi-final difference in the history of the Champions League since Real Madrid defeated Zurich 8:1 in 1964. Score. In the history of the European war, the last time there was a 7-goal difference in the semi-finals dates back to the UEFA Cup in 2001 when Alaves beat Kaiserslautern 9-2."

"Bale led this Manchester United second team to create a new history. Schalke 04, which defeated the triple crown champion Inter Milan in the quarter-finals, was unable to find the north, but he himself always The follow-up shot was a little bit behind, which really makes people don’t know what to say!”

In fact, not only did the old man not know what to say, but Bell himself was also very speechless.

Now of the six players in Manchester United's starting frontcourt, the other five have scored goals, and he is the only one who has not scored.

………………

After Bell assisted Berbatov to score Manchester United's fifth goal of the game, Ferguson immediately made personnel adjustments again and replaced Berbatov with Irving who had just scored.

Ferguson originally wanted to replace Bale with Nani, but seeing Bale's persistence in scoring goals, he finally gave up the idea and replaced Berbatov with Owen.

This is Manchester United's third substitution adjustment in this game, which also means that Bell will play the entire game.

Manchester United continued to suppress Schalke 04 on the court. Other Manchester United players continued to create opportunities for Bell, hoping to help him score.

However, God seemed to be specifically against Bell today. His shots were blocked by opposing players again and again.

In the 79th minute, Bell took the ball in the penalty area and was blocked by Neuer.

In the 82nd minute, Anderson's left-footed shot from the outside was saved by Neuer. Although Bell's follow-up shot sent the ball into the net, the previous goal was invalid for offside.

Bell's closest chance to score came in the first minute of injury time.

Schalke 04 launched another attack, but was intercepted by Manchester United before the shot could be formed. Manchester United took advantage of the situation to launch a quick counterattack. Bell passed Papadopoulos to defend frontally, and his right-footed shot was blocked by Neuer with one hand.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Schalke 04 5:0 at home, with a total score of 7:0 in the two rounds, and strongly advanced to the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League final.

In the two rounds of the game, Bell sent out seven assists.

But there is always no way to score a goal.

After the game, reporters interviewed Bell on this issue, and Bell could only shake his head and smile bitterly, speechless.

This world is so evil. Many times, the more you want something, the less you get.

The reporter also asked Bell a question, that is, his 7 assists helped Manchester United create a record in the two rounds, the most disparity in the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals since the Champions League was restructured.

After listening to the reporter's question, Bell was silent for a while before saying something that baffled everyone: "Both Messi and Barcelona should thank me!"

………………

Schalke lost. At Old Trafford, despite the hard work of the players, they still lost 0:5 to Manchester United's rotation. The final total score was 0:7 and they missed the final at Wembley, creating a Champions League reform. The most disparate score between the two rounds of the semi-finals since.

But Schalke did not lose. As the only seed in the Bundesliga, they have created the best results in the club's history in the Champions League and can leave the Red Devils' Dream Theater with their heads held high.

In the two-round contest with Manchester United, it seemed that Schalke 04 was not in the same weight class as its opponents at all. In the first round, the Royal Blues, who had previously won five consecutive home games, were shot by Giggs and Rooney each. After a 0:2 defeat, the unbeaten record at home came to an end. You know, this is still based on captain Neuer saving at least 4 must-goals from his opponents. In the second round, Ferguson even changed almost the entire starting lineup in order to prepare for the league match with Chelsea. As a result, Schalke lost even more miserably. After losing to England 0:5, they were eliminated with a total score of 0:7.

In fact, it is not unfair to be defeated by a favorite candidate like Manchester United. Once the dark horse is taken seriously by the opponent, its quality will definitely be greatly reduced.

Before Schalke was eliminated by Manchester United, his performance was completely championship-level. Some people may say that Schalke was lucky. They got a good draw in the group stage and were placed with Lyon, Benfica and Hapoel Tel Aviv. But except for the slightly weaker Israeli champion, Lyon and Benfica will definitely not be worse than Schalke. However, the team just relied on the Devil's home court (three consecutive home wins in the group stage) to break out of Group B.

The first opponent in the knockout round was La Liga powerhouse Valencia. Facing a familiar opponent, Raul suddenly broke out. In an away game against Battalion, the King of the Rings scored his 69th goal in the Champions League and broke into Valencia for the 13th time, helping the team take away a precious point from Mestalla. Back at home, Farfan showed his strength, scoring directly from his free kick and going to the meeting alone at the last moment to help the team advance to the quarterfinals.

By reaching the quarterfinals, Schalke equaled the club's best result in the Champions League. Before the game, no one believed that this German Shakhtar team could block the defending champion Inter Milan, which had just eliminated the Bundesliga top team Bayern, from the semi-finals.

However, the new coach Rangnick who just took over the team did it!

At Meazza, Schalke completed an incredible 5:2 comeback victory. Returning to Wiltins, Schalke not only maintained their home victory record with 2:1, but also advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 7:3.

Reaching the semi-finals, Schalke created the club's best record in the Champions League. Facing the more sophisticated Manchester United, it is difficult for the Imperial Blue to rely on unexpected tactics or the sudden inspiration of a certain star to change the situation. However, the results of the Champions League semi-finals and the revenue of more than 20 million euros will bring immeasurable confidence and help to this team, which is only ranked in the middle of the league and has a poor financial situation.

………………

The dust and smoke cleared, the group dispersed, and there was only one decisive battle left before the finish line. In the four fierce battles in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2010-2011 season, the "Galactic Battleship" Real Madrid collapsed in front of the alien Barcelona, ​​and the dark horse Schalke 04 was dismembered by the experienced Manchester United. In the end, Barcelona and Manchester United stepped on the corpse of their opponent. Two years later we met again on the top of Europe.

Barcelona has never defeated a Spanish opponent away from home in the European wars in history, and has never eliminated a Spanish team in the Champions League semi-finals. But this time, facing the number one enemy in life, Guardiola and his disciples put This curse was erased from the history of the Red and Blue Legion.

A 2-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu cleared the way for Barcelona to advance to the finals. It was also the Cosmos' declaration for the European war. Messi, who scored 11 goals in 11 Champions League games and reached a record 52 goals this season, can tear him apart. Alien monsters that destroy everything.

The game back at home was almost a formality. Barcelona drew with Real Madrid 1:1, and finally passed with a total score of 3:1. This is the 17th time in the history of Barcelona that they have entered the European finals, ranking first in Europa. Even Mourinho, the "Ultraman", can't stop the alien flying saucer at full speed.

Compared with the spark-splashing battle of the century, the semi-final match between Manchester United and Schalke 04 was a bit uneventful. Manchester United also achieved a decisive 2:0 result in the away game in the first leg, breaking Schalke 04's Champions League home record this season. While completely winning the golden body, the suspense was killed early.

What is even more worth mentioning is that Manchester United has not conceded a goal in the Champions League away games this season, which is unprecedented!

The second round moved to Old Trafford. Ferguson gambled and rotated 9 players, which originally caused a slight disturbance in the game. However, Valencia and Anderson defeated the German illusions and swept Schalke 04 5:0.

The total score is 7:0, which is also a rare disparity in the history of the Champions League semi-finals. The total score difference in the Champions League semi-finals has only reached 5 goals 7 times before. The most recent time can be traced back to the 1988-1989 season, when AC Milan The total score of the round was 6:1, which humiliated Real Madrid and finally won the championship.

In addition, Manchester United has won all 12 games in the Champions League this season. Ferguson led Manchester United to win the Champions League twice before in the 1998-1999 season and 2007-2008 season without losing a single defeat. All signs seem to point to Manchester United being on a familiar path.

The shadow reflected in the mirror is reversed. After the situation of this Champions League semi-finals was revealed, we found that the pattern of the semi-finals of the 2001-2002 season was very similar. At that time, Real Madrid and Barcelona also met on a narrow road, while Manchester United faced their Bundesliga opponents. The only difference was that Manchester United's opponent Leverku was at that time. Sen is now replaced by Schalke 04. At that time, Leverkusen and Real Madrid met for the final, but this time the final outcome was completely opposite. The two losers Manchester United and Barcelona 9 years ago turned around together.

This is the third time that Manchester United has reached the Champions League final in the past four years, and Barcelona has reached the final for the third time in six years. The two hegemons of the Premier League and La Liga can be called the real hegemons of Europe. No other team can compete in the Champions League. They are more dominant, and the final will be a true showdown between the two heroes.

Coincidentally, Manchester United and Barcelona won the Champions League for the first time in history at Wembley Stadium, and this year's final was held at the brand-new Wembley.
