Football King Bale

Chapter 266 Undefeated is in sight

Bell's goal in the 88th minute was really desperate for Stoke City. When the game got to this point, there was really too little time left for them. In addition, they were already under full suppression by Manchester United, so they could only watch the game time pass.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle after three minutes of injury time, the new Wembley Stadium erupted. More than 50,000 Red Devils fans at the scene gave out loud cheers to celebrate the team's second FA Cup victory after seven years.

This FA Cup championship is the third championship trophy Manchester United has won this season. After Tottenham last year, they once again achieved the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup in one season. A sweep of the domestic championships.

Manchester United's players on the field began to shake hands and hug their opponents Stoke City's players, as a way to comfort their defeated opponents and to show respect for their opponents.

Stoke City is a tenacious opponent. Although Manchester United has an absolute advantage in this game, Stoke City has caused enough trouble for Manchester United. If it weren't for Bale's buzzer-beater at the end of the game, Manchester United might even have had to play overtime or even a penalty shootout.

Then, the players also began to circle the field to thank the Red Devils fans who came to the stadium to watch the game.

The fans responded with warm applause and cheers, thanking the team for bringing them happiness and glory this season.

Among them, Bell received the most applause and cheers. Wherever he went, the atmosphere reached a climax. Even many Stoke City fans applauded him. His performance in this game was perfect, even the opponent's fans were conquered by him.

………………

The awards ceremony took place quickly, with runner-up Stoke City taking the stage to receive their medals first. If it were a wealthy team, they would not pay much attention to the runner-up medal, but Stoke City is not a wealthy team. Their team has no glorified honors in its history. This runner-up is also a good one for them. honor.

Of course, the most important thing is that they can enter the European war through this runner-up.

Then, it was the turn of the Manchester United players to take the stage, receive the championship medal, and lift the final championship trophy.

In England, no one will look down on the FA Cup. After all, this is the oldest cup championship in the world. During the course of the season, some of the Premier League's top teams may strategically abandon this cup competition for tactical reasons, but when the team finally wins the championship, the joy in everyone's hearts is not much worse than winning the Premier League championship.

As usual, the FA Cup championship awards are still presented by members of the British royal family, and the guest of honor this time is still Prince William.

The prince was very happy to see Belle and held his hand and talked for a long time.

When Bale and Nemanja Vidic, the captain of the game, lifted the FA Cup trophy together, red ribbons floated in the sky, and the song "We are the champions" resounded throughout the new Wembley Stadium.

Winning three championships in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup in one season is already a perfect result. But in the eyes of Manchester United fans, they have more expectations.

With three more wins, they will experience a truly perfect season: becoming the first team in history to win four crowns!

This honor is the result of extraordinary circumstances,

Because England is different from other mainstream leagues in Europe, there are two national cup competitions in the country, the League Cup and the FA Cup.

Like the English team, the French team can also compete for the quadruple crown, because in addition to the French Cup, France also has the French League Cup, and the French League Cup champion also has the qualification to participate in the Europa League.

However, because the French Ligue 1's global influence is far from that of the Premier League, not many fans care about it.

………………

Despite the celebrations at the new Wembley Stadium, United didn't celebrate much after returning to Manchester. Because just three days later, they will have a game, which is the 37th round of the Premier League make-up match. Manchester United will challenge Blackburn away.

It will be very difficult for Manchester United to continue their unbeaten season, as Blackburn are now in a critical moment to avoid relegation.

After 36 rounds of the Premier League, Blackburn are ranked 15th with only 39 points. Although they have not fallen into the relegation zone, they are only three points above the relegation zone, just one game away.

Even because this game was postponed, other teams' games have ended, and Blackburn's relegation situation is even worse.

In the 37 rounds of the Premier League, Blackburn's relegation opponents Wolves, Blackpool and Wigan have won one after another, and their points have reached 39 points. Just because of the goal difference, they ranked behind Blackburn.

Once Blackburn lose the game against Manchester United, their situation will further deteriorate.

Currently, only the Hammers, who have accumulated 33 points, have helped West Ham United secure the position of deputy squad leader and a relegation spot in advance. As for the remaining two relegation places, they will be generated between Birmingham, which has 37 points, and Blackburn, Blackpool, Wolves and Wigan, who currently have 39 points.

If Blackburn can win Manchester United at home, it will not only end the opponent's dream of unbeaten championship, but also gain an advantage in the relegation battle, so they will definitely fight Manchester United at home.

Human beings have an innate desire to destroy, not to mention a strong desire to survive.

………………

Manchester United did not want to satisfy their opponents' desire for survival. Ferguson and the Manchester United soldiers paid more attention to their record of undefeated championships in the season. Therefore, even though they fought Stoke City for 90 minutes at the New Wembley Stadium just three days ago, four days later The final game of the season will be ushered in at Old Trafford, but Manchester United still plays with almost all the main players. Only veteran goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and Bale got the opportunity to take a rest. O'Shea, who was slightly injured, was Stay in Manchester.

Manchester United's starting lineup is goalkeeper Kuzczak, the back four is composed of Fabio, Vidic, Ferdinand and Evans, and the midfielder is a combination of Valencia, Carrick, Giggs and Nani. The little fat Rooney and the little pea Hernandez partnered up front.

As long as Manchester United does not lose in this campaign, they can maintain the team's hope of winning the championship undefeated in the season. However, the Red Devils have been at a disadvantage in the 54 previous away games against Blackburn with 18 wins, 14 draws and 22 losses, and they have lost 3 of their last 5 away games in the Premier League. However, fortunately, in the last 10 games against Manchester United, they have 8 wins and 2 draws and remain unbeaten. Especially in the first round of this season, they staged a 7:1 massacre victory, and Blackburn has only won 1 in the last 12 Premier League games.

In this game, Giggs, who started the game, tied Perryman's record of appearances in the top league (613 games) for the same club. At the same time, he surpassed David James with 573 Premier League appearances and became the top player in the Premier League. The player with the most appearances; forward Biram Diouf, who plays for Blackburn, is ineligible to play due to loan terms.

After the game started, Manchester United, whose morale was high, turned away and played very proactively in the away game. Only 4 minutes into the first half, Manchester United almost scored. Rooney made a pass from the right, and Nani headed in from the edge of the penalty area. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

In the first 15 minutes, Manchester United had the clear initiative, with a terrifying 77% ball possession rate.

However, the high ball possession rate did not open the door to victory for Manchester United. In the absence of Bell, Manchester United lacked the offensive ability and frequently besieged Blackburn's goal. However, they only heard thunder but no rain. Instead, they were defeated by the home team Blackburn. Ben seized an opportunity and took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

In the 20th minute, Emerton hit the goal on the right side. Kushchak jumped up but failed. The ball flew to the far end. Olsson got the ball in front of the baseline. After cooperating with Hoilett, Olsson made a cross from the left. When Evans was not marking tightly, Emerton fired with his left foot from 7 meters and sent the ball into the left corner of the goal.

Manchester United unexpectedly fell behind 0:1 in the away game!

Subsequently, Manchester United's counterattack still had no effect, including shots from Hernandez, Rooney and Nani, but failed to knock on Blackburn's goal.

In the first half of the game, Blackburn led Manchester United 1:0 into the half-time break.

………………

At the end of the halftime break, although Ferguson did not make any immediate substitutions, his fifteen minutes of using the hair dryer at full speed in the visiting team's locker room obviously had an effect. Manchester United stepped up their offense from the beginning of the second half.

However, what is embarrassing is that Manchester United's offense still only blossomed but failed to bear fruit. Not only did they fail to score an equalizer, the team even almost broke the goal for the second time because of a mistake by goalkeeper Kuzczak.

In the 57th minute, Kuszczak made another mistake when he went out to get the ball. Fortunately, Ferdinand blocked the ball in front of the goal to avoid losing the ball.

Ferguson really couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Bell on the bench to prepare to play.

After a five-minute warm-up, Bell came on and replaced defender Rafael. Valencia retreated to the right back of the visiting team, Bell appeared in the familiar left midfielder position, and Nani went to the right.

After Bell came on, Manchester United's situation on the field changed dramatically, and in the 70th minute of the game, they scored and equalized the score.

In the 70th minute, after Bell broke through from the left, he passed the ball from an inverted triangle to the upper left corner of the penalty area.

This pass was originally very good, but Hernandez made some small mistakes in stopping the ball, some of which were too big, but he still struggled to catch the ball. When Robinson attacked, Little Pea poked the ball and was knocked down by the Blackburn goalkeeper.

The referee Dodd did not award a penalty kick immediately, but after the linesman prompted him, he still pointed to the penalty spot.

This penalty made the home team players very dissatisfied, and they surrounded Dodd and wanted him to change the penalty. This was naturally impossible, and then the home team players and Dodd had a dispute, which ended with the home team player Salgado receiving a yellow card for being rude.

Manchester United began to take a penalty kick. When Bell was about to hold the ball and walk to the penalty spot, Rooney ran over and whispered a few words in his ear, and then Bell handed the ball to Rooney.

In the 73rd minute, Rooney took a penalty kick and hit the left corner of the goal with his right foot to equalize the score.

Blackburn then made adjustments to the central defender position.

In the 76th minute, Bell made a cross from the left. Nani outflanked the goal and missed the chance to take the lead.

After that, Manchester United, who got a point as expected, strengthened their possession of the ball and Blackburn had no intention of pressing hard.

Obviously, a 1:1 draw was a result acceptable to both sides. Manchester United could continue their unbeaten journey, and Blackburn also got a point that was crucial to their relegation.

After running out of time, Manchester United drew with Blackburn 1:1 away from home and got the draw they needed, extending their unbeaten streak in a single season to 37 games.

In this way, as long as they do not lose to Blackpool in the next game at Old Trafford, they can become the second team in the history of the Premier League to win the championship undefeated in a season, and also the third team in the history of the five major leagues to win the championship. Defeat the winning team.
