Football King Bale

Although everyone at Manchester United is paying close attention to the Champions League final in three weeks, that is, after all, three weeks away. Before that, Manchester United still has a lot of games to play, especially the 36th round of the Premier League match against Chelsea, which is coming this weekend.

Originally, apart from the two Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea, this was a very ordinary Premier League match, because this game would not have any impact on the championship this season.

However, some unexpected factors gave this game a different meaning.

After 35 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United still remains unbeaten, which brings their unbeaten league record across seasons to 40 games, which is tied for second place in the Premier League with Chelsea's 40 unbeaten games in the Premier League; their record of 29 wins and 6 draws makes their The points reached 93 points, which is only 2 points away from Chelsea's record of 95 points in a Premier League single season set six years ago. As long as Manchester United wins this game, they can set a new Premier League single-season points record.

These two reasons give Chelsea enough reasons to block Manchester United's progress, and the Blues also have the confidence to block Manchester United.

In the Premier League, Chelsea once again played an amazing schedule after experiencing a slump in the middle of the season. Since losing to the Red Army Liverpool 0:1 at home on February 6, they have never lost in the league again, with a record of 7 wins and 3 draws in 10 games.

During the same period, Chelsea's record topped the Premier League, even better than Manchester United's 6 wins and 3 draws. This also allowed the Blues to rise from fourth in the Premier League to second in the standings. If they hadn't dug too deep a hole before, they might even have been able to reverse Manchester United.

………………

This game is the 161st main-season meeting between the two clubs and the fourth dialogue between the two sides in 68 days. Manchester United double defeated Chelsea in the Champions League last month, but the Blues almost lost in the first round of the league this season. It ended Manchester United's unbeaten record.

Both sides attach great importance to this game. Except for the injured Evra, the Manchester United team has the strongest configuration. Rooney and Hernandez continue to partner up front; for Chelsea, Torres started with Anelka. Sitting on the bench, Drogba was in the center, assisted by Kalu and Malouda on the wings.

Only 36 seconds into the first half, Manchester United made a dream start and scored. After Manchester United stole the ball on the left side of the backcourt, Bell immediately launched a counterattack. Giggs made a through ball in the midfield, but Lewis failed to tackle. Hernandez succeeded in countering offside and calmly pushed the ball into the left corner of the goal from 16 meters to score his 20th of the season. A match goal.

Although it was not Bell who scored, assisted or shot this goal, his role is unquestionable. It was his continuous breakthroughs on the left wing that disrupted Chelsea's defense that had not yet fully established itself, and then transferred the ball to the center where there was a gap, and then Giggs assisted Hernandez. Score a goal.

Manchester United scored through a blitz in the first minute of the game, and Chelsea were stunned. The Blues players never expected that their team would fall behind so quickly.

Manchester United took advantage of the psychological fluctuations of the Blues players during this period and continued to attack, hoping to score more goals and seal the victory as soon as possible.

In the 8th minute, Bell made another breakthrough from the left, and then the inverted triangle corner kick was passed into the gap in front of the top of the penalty area. The fat Rooney who appeared in that position got an excellent shooting opportunity. Directly in front of the goal 30 meters away, the little fat man's shot was powerful and heavy, going straight to the right side of the goal.

Just when the fans at Old Trafford stood up and prepared to cheer and celebrate the team's second goal, the Czech goalkeeper made a wonderful save. He made a perfect sideways dive and flew into the goal. The ball sealed the bottom line.

………………

Under Manchester United's continuous attacks, Chelsea struggled in the first 20 minutes of the game. Although they had two shots, they did not pose much threat to Manchester United's goal. But their goal was in danger several times.

When the game reached the 22nd minute, Chelsea's goal was once again severely tested.

Bell and Giggs played a very beautiful cooperation on the left. Bell took a powerful shot from the left corner of the penalty area and hit a curve ball with perfect speed and arc. The ball hit the upper corner of the far post.

Just when the fans in the Old Trafford stands thought the ball was there, Cech took flight again and saved the ball from the bottom line with both fists.

Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity. This time Bell did not directly cross the ball, but made a tactical cooperation with Giggs who was pulled to the left. Wanglaoji used the cooperation with Bell to easily get rid of Kalou's defense, and then made a pass.

Vidic grabbed the spot of Giggs' pass from the edge of the small penalty area, hit a ball with his header, and once again broke through Chelsea's goal. In the 23rd minute of the game, he helped Manchester United put the ball on the field. The score was rewritten as 2:0!

………………

After taking a two-goal lead, Manchester United took the initiative to slow down the offensive on the field and appropriately handed over some ball rights, allowing Chelsea to take advantage of the situation.

But Chelsea were not in good condition today. Although they were working hard to score goals and hoped to stop Manchester United, many shots failed to pose much of a threat to the goal guarded by Edwin van der Sar.

Until referee Weber blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was still 2:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti played two cards in a row, replacing David Luiz and Mikel, who made big mistakes in the first half, with Alex and Ramirez to strengthen the offensive.

However, this did not allow them to score a goal. Instead, they almost conceded another goal in the 52nd minute of the game. At that time, Bell broke through from the left and passed the ball. The ball hit Lampard's outstretched arm in the Chelsea penalty area, but referee Webber did not award a penalty kick.

This penalty made the Manchester United players very dissatisfied, but because the team was two goals ahead, they didn't get too entangled.

Seeing that the team was unable to score goals and change the situation, Ancelotti became a little impatient. Just one hour into the game, he played the last card of the game and replaced Kalou with Torres.

Manchester United also began to make substitution adjustments. In the 65th minute of the game, he replaced Bell with Park Ji-sung, pulled Giggs to the wing, and replaced O'Shea with Evans.

After Bell came off the field, Manchester United's control on the field weakened, and Chelsea's offense gradually became stronger, and they got a point back in the 68th minute of the game.

Ramirez took advantage of Evans' lack of pressure from the right and made an accurate pass. Ivanovic jumped up and headed the ball across the field. Vidic fell behind, causing the offside attempt to fail. Lampard stretched his left foot from the edge of the small penalty area and stabbed. , helped Chelsea regain a victory.

The magic lamp, who scored in three consecutive rounds, scored his 13th club goal of the season. It was also the first time he scored against Manchester United in the Premier League when he was a guest at the Theater of Dreams since January 1999 (when he was a West Ham United player).

This was the last goal of the game. Afterwards, although the two sides exchanged offense and defense and created some good scoring opportunities, they failed to grasp them.

In the end, Manchester United beat Chelsea 2:1 at home, winning 14 consecutive home league victories and 24 consecutive home wins in all competitions!

The Theater of Dreams is indeed the most terrifying devil's home stadium in Europe. In the 29 main matches played here this season, Manchester United remained undefeated, with 28 wins and 1 draw. Among them, 17 wins and 1 draw in the league!

Manchester United, which defeated Chelsea, has only two games left to win the season undefeated. The Gunners' undefeated season 7 years ago will soon be repeated by the Red Devils.

Manchester United, which scored 3 points in this game, has reached 96 points in the league, surpassing the single-season points record of 95 points set by Chelsea in the 2004-2005 season.

Not only that, they have achieved 41 unbeaten matches in the Premier League across the season, surpassing the blue team Chelsea and occupying the second place with the unbeaten record in the Premier League era.

Even looking at the entire history of English football, their 41 unbeaten games in the top league are second only to Arsenal's 49 unbeaten games and Nottingham Forest's 42 unbeaten games.

Nottingham Forest, now in the English Championship, was a super strong team in the late 1970s last season, and legendary coach Clough took them to the top of Europe. In 1979 and 1980, they completed two consecutive European Cups. From November 26, 1977 to December 9, 1978, they were unbeaten in 42 consecutive games in England's top league, League One, and won the only top league championship in the club's history.

………………

In the Premier League this season, there are only the last two rounds left in the blink of an eye, and many suspense have been ended. Among them, the league championship was won by Manchester United 7 rounds in advance a month ago, and the Champions League qualification also ended in the last round. By the time the dust settled.

At that time, with only 3 rounds left in the league, fifth-placed Tottenham were already 10 points behind fourth-placed Manchester City and completely bid farewell to the competition for Champions League qualification.

In this round of games, Tottenham, who have lost their Champions League qualification, continued their sluggish performance. They were tied 1:1 at home by the relegation team Blackpool, which even allowed them to be surpassed by Liverpool, who beat Fulham 5:2 at Craven Cottage. , dropped to sixth in the Premier League.

However, this does not have a big impact on them, because Everton, seventh in the league, is still 4 points behind them, and their Europa League seat is relatively secure.

At this time, people became more aware of Bell's importance. Tottenham, which had Bale last season, was the first domestic annual Grand Slam in the history of English football, but this season it has been reduced to the point where it cannot even secure a Champions League spot.

Manchester United, on the other hand, is exactly the opposite. With the addition of Bell, they are very hopeful to become the second annual domestic Grand Slam team in English football after Tottenham, and even an even greater quadruple crown team!

Compared with the clear distinction at the top of the standings, the second half of the standings is still anxious. With two rounds left in the league, there are still seven teams in the relegation zone.
