Football King Bale

Manchester United is really suffering this season. Before the international match day, they experienced a devilish schedule of 22 days and 7 games. Before the last international match day, they also had a devilish schedule of 21 days and 7 games. However, These two devilish schedules pale in comparison to Manchester United's upcoming schedule.

Starting from November 19th, the next schedule is the real devil’s schedule!

First in 2011, in the remaining 43 days, Manchester United will participate in 13 games! This includes 8 rounds of the Premier League, 2 Champions League group matches, 1 League Cup quarter-final knockout match, and two Club World Cups that require flying nearly 10,000 kilometers!

According to the schedule, the Club World Cup final conflicts with the 16th round of the Premier League. Manchester United's away game against Queens Park Rangers in this round will have to be postponed.

But even so, 12 games were played in 43 days, which was still the rhythm of double games a week. This also included an ultra-long-distance expedition that almost flew halfway around the world. That was a one-way flight of at least 11 hours. ah!

This is not over yet, because after entering 2012, the devil's schedule is still going on. If nothing else, Manchester United will have 8 to 9 games in January. In other words, Manchester United still had to continue the ultra-intense pace of double matches a week in January 2012!

Perhaps only after entering February will Manchester United's schedule be slightly relaxed. But then the knockout rounds of the Champions League will begin again. As expected, Manchester United will definitely advance. Therefore, Manchester United's schedule will still not be easy.

Even if the schedule in February is easier, from late November to January next year, more than 70 days have to be completed at the pace of double matches a week. It is definitely a huge test for Manchester United. It is a huge test for Ferguson's art of formation!

………………

At three o'clock in the afternoon on November 19, Manchester United started the first game of their third devilish schedule this season, challenging newly promoted Swansea City away from home!

As a newly promoted team, Swansea's current ranking is still very good. With 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in 11 rounds, they have 13 points and rank 10th in the Premier League.

However, their position is very dangerous, because although they are in the middle of the standings, they are only 4 points above the relegation zone. Bolton, currently ranked 18th in the league, has 3 wins, 8 losses and 9 points.

This season's Premier League is very polarized. In addition to the better results of the top three in the standings, the point difference from 4th to 7th is only 4 points, which is considered to be a battle for four teams.

After the fourth legion, there is the huge backbone, or the relegation legion. Because Villa, who is eighth, currently only has 15 points, and is only two games behind Bolton, who is 18th. Maybe they will slip into the relegation zone at some point.

After 28 years, the two clubs Swansea and Manchester United once again had the opportunity to compete, and this was also the 17th time in the history of the two sides. The two clubs had previously tied with a record of 6 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. However, Manchester United has played 8 away games against Swansea, with 2 draws and 6 losses without a win. However, all the games were played at the Vitch Stadium instead of the current Liberty Stadium. Of course, Swansea has not only remained unbeaten in 5 home games in the league this season, but also won. Conceded only 1 goal.

Facing such a team with an excellent home record, Manchester United is deeply affected by the FIFA virus, causing the team to not be in the best condition.

However, Ferguson still hopes to lead the team to win the first away victory against Swansea, so Manchester United will play the main force in this game, with De Gea guarding the goal, Phil Jones, Vidic, Ferdinand and Ever La formed the strongest defense, the midfielder was a combination of Nani, Fletcher, Sneijder and Bale, and the two forwards were partnered by Rooney and Hernandez.

At the beginning of the first half, Swansea did not play conservatively.

In particular, the wing attack put a lot of pressure on Manchester United. In the 3rd minute, Vidic's pass from the home team's wing landed poorly, and Gower's volley from the edge of the penalty area was slightly wide.

In the first 10 minutes, although Manchester United had the ball, they were unable to create a shooting opportunity, but the Red Devils scored on their first shot. In the 11th minute, Rangel's backcourt pass was intercepted by Bell. The Welsh teenager broke into the penalty area from the left and crossed the ball. Hernandez got ahead of Worm from 6 meters and blocked the shot with his right foot and scored. This is the first time for Little Pea this season. The 5th goal scored.

………………

This was also the only goal in the game.

Originally, Manchester United had a chance to expand their lead at the last moment of the game, but the goalpost denied Manchester United a goal. In the 90th minute, Jones cooperated with Valencia and entered the penalty area. He shot low from a small angle on the right side and the ball hit the left post and bounced out.

At the end of the game, the score remained at 1:0.

It’s hard to believe that Manchester United’s one-goal victory over Swansea City was actually a historic victory in the 80-year history of the two clubs’ conflict, because it was the first time in the history of the two clubs that a visiting team was able to return with a complete victory. In the previous 16 meetings, the two sides had a record of 2 draws and 6 losses in away games!

Although the scene was not satisfactory, the result was still very good for Manchester United. After getting the three points as expected, they continued to maintain a 5-point advantage over their city rivals in the standings. As Bell said in an interview after the game: "We didn't play to our actual level, but the team scored enough points."

Bell, who had not scored a goal, stopped scoring consecutively again, scoring in 11 consecutive games in a single season and 12 consecutive games across seasons!

In this 12-game scoring spree, Bell scored a total of 20 goals, including 1 hat trick and 6 braces.

However, this is not Bell's most consecutive scoring games. From the 11th to the 26th round of the Premier League last season, Bell once had a crazy performance of scoring 14 consecutive rounds. During this period, he scored a total of 24 goals, 2 hat tricks and 6 Scored twice.

However, in the 15th round of the match between Manchester United and Blackburn, Bell missed the game due to injury, which made this consecutive scoring streak inconsistent. Then, the 18th round of the game with Chelsea was postponed, making Bell's consecutive league scoring games only the same. On the number 14 games.

Manchester United is not the only team affected by the FIFA virus. Several other strong teams have also been more obviously affected. The most direct manifestation is that it is generally difficult for strong teams to win in this round. Arsenal narrowly won 2:1 away from home. Newly promoted Norwich City, Manchester United only defeated another newly promoted team Swansea 1:0. However, Manchester City defeated Newcastle, a Magpies team that has performed well this season, with a score of 3:1 at home, making Manchester United the only team that remains undefeated in the Premier League.

In addition, Tottenham also defeated Villa 2-0 at home.

In the strong dialogue between the Blues and the Reds at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2:1 away from home.

Compared with the previous matches between the Premier League giants, which took turns to stage goal battles, this was a rare "dull" game. Fortunately, the game itself was quite exciting, and the intensity was not inferior to any previous matchups between the giants.

………………

After 12 rounds of the league, the six powerful teams of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham have dedicated a total of 5 goal battles to the fans.

The first initiator of this mass-scoring mode between strong teams was the Red Devils Manchester United. In the second round of the Premier League home game against Tottenham, they swallowed 4 eggs in one breath.

In the third round of the league, Manchester United welcomed their old rival Arsenal at home. As a result, in this classic duel, the Red Devils and the Gunners scored a total of 12 goals! In the end, Manchester United, who was sitting at Old Trafford, swept Arsenal out 10:2.

In the same round, another strong North London team was also massacred by Manchester. Tottenham, who was sitting at White Hart Lane, was beaten 5:1 by the visiting Manchester City. What the Manchester City duo left to the North London duo was the tragic memory of swallowing 15 eggs together.

In the 5th round, after Tottenham, who was sitting at home, was brutally massacred by the Manchester City duo, they ended their hatred against the Red Army Liverpool 4:0. Chelsea, another giant in London, suffered their first disastrous defeat of the season. They suffered a 1:5 disastrous defeat at Old Trafford.

In the 10th round, in the peak London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal, Robin van Persie's hat trick helped Arsenal reverse 5:3 at Chelsea's home court.

In fact, with Villas-Boas's emphasis on offense and light defense, this game has the basis for a goal battle. Before this campaign, Chelsea had conceded 17 goals in the Premier League this season. After this campaign, they conceded 19 goals in the first 12 rounds, and in 2004-2005 The Blues have only conceded 3 goals by the 12th round this season.

However, Liverpool's offensive power will be a problem. They only scored 14 goals in the first 11 rounds, and they were tied by weak teams in the last two home games.

Before this round, 339 goals were scored in 109 games. We are in the most productive season in the history of the Premier League. But Chelsea's battle with Liverpool ended the trend of crazy goals between giants.

In fact, there were not many opportunities created by both sides in this game. Chelsea shot 19 times and Liverpool 9 times, but the two teams only had 3 shots on target. Cech and Reina made 1 and 2 saves each. In the 57th minute, Drogba took a free kick and Luis headed the goal from close range. Reina saved it bravely and was the most likely to score. Opportunity.

During the game, the fighting and confrontation between the two sides was also quite fierce.

Liverpool's midfielder used Charlie Adam and Lucas to shoot the goal, giving the home team's midfielder little space to control the ball. However, Chelsea center back David Luiz is young and energetic, and he continues the characteristic of Brazilian defenders who love assists. He is not decisive enough in his shots and is prone to rash advances. He only plays the ball when he is at the end of the rope and is easily taken care of by the opponent.

In the 29th minute, when he got the ball in front of his own penalty area, he was brutally knocked down by Lucas. Before that, he and Kuyt also had a small dispute. In the second half, Bellamy and Lampard glared at each other, which also increased the intensity of the game.

In the 62nd minute, Ramirez brought down Skrtel with a sliding tackle with both feet and also received a yellow card.

Throughout the entire game, Chelsea and Liverpool played with great momentum. Although they didn't score many goals, they were exciting and memorable.
