Football King Bale

Amid the chaos, Manchester United ushered in their first game of this Club World Cup.

At 18:30 Eastern Time on December 15, the second semi-final of the 2011 Club World Cup will be held in Yokohama. The Champions League champion Manchester United will face the AFC Champions League Al Sadd.

In the previously concluded first semi-final, South American Copa Libertadores champion Santos defeated Japanese J-League champion Kashiwa Reysol with a score of 3:1, taking the lead in advancing to the final. People are already talking about the final being a showdown between Manchester United and Santos. As for the Qatari team Al Sadd, the AFC Champions League champion, they were magnificently ignored.

In the past year and a half, so many strong teams in Europe have failed to defeat Manchester United. How can a small team from Qatar want to end Manchester United's undefeated streak?

Therefore, Manchester United will definitely advance to the Club World Cup final. The only suspense is how much Manchester United can win in this game, and how many goals Bale, who is about to win the Ballon d'Or, can score in this game.

If anyone still thinks Al Sadd can win the game, it is the Qatari media and some players in the Al Sadd team.

For the little-known Al Sadd, Manchester United did not take it too seriously, even the always cautious Ferguson. Therefore, in this game, Ferguson deployed an aggressive 433 formation. Sir Alex hoped to win over Asian fans with a hearty victory.

Manchester United has always attached great importance to the Asian market, but in the past two summers, due to team plans, the summer warm-up games have chosen to go to the Americas on the other side of the Atlantic instead of Asia. This has had some adverse effects on Manchester United's influence in Asia.

Manchester United's starting lineup is goalkeeper De Gea, the four backs are Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand and Evra, the three midfielders are a combination of Carrick, Sneijder and Phil Jones, and the three forwards are from the left To the right are Bale, Rooney and Nani.

………………

Facing Al Sadd, Manchester United had no intention of testing the game. At the beginning, with the cheers of 70,000 Manchester United fans, they launched a fierce attack on Al Sadd's goal.

In the distant Land of the Rising Sun, in the match between Manchester United, the world's largest club, and the little-known Qatar team, almost no one supported Al Sadd. The more than 72,000 fans at the scene almost all supported Manchester United. .

And Manchester United has lived up to the expectations of these fans thousands of miles away, allowing them to experience Manchester United's terrifying offensive capabilities that have swept across Europe for more than a year.

Manchester United got off to a dream start just 52 seconds into the first half. Bell and Rooney, who were wearing the captain's armband, kicked off the ball and kicked the ball to Sneijder. He and Rooney started running forward. After several passes in Manchester United's backcourt, the ball returned to Bell's feet again.

Under the gaze of more than 70,000 Japanese fans, Bell demonstrated his strength as the number one player in football today. Facing the pressure of several Al Sadd fans, a few simple spikes and changes of direction broke through Al Sadd's defense.

Due to Bell's breakthrough on the left, Al Sadd's formation tilted heavily to their right, which is Bell's side. Upon seeing this, Bell made a long pass and transferred the ball to his own right where there was a large open space.

Smalling grabbed the spot on the right side of the frontcourt, Rooney flew the header, and Nani made a cross from the right. Rooney dived sideways from the edge of the small penalty area and headed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.

1:0!

………………

The Qataris were completely stupid. According to the tactical arrangement, they planned to use an iron barrel formation to deal with Manchester United. But before the fence was firmly established, Manchester United had already poked a hole. How could they play this game?

Manchester United did not let Al Sadd have time to hesitate. They attacked continuously.

This forced Al Sadd to continue to display the iron barrel formation according to their original plan.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Al Sadd almost did not attack through the half. However, although Manchester United attacked the opponent's half, the 10-man iron barrel formation deployed by the opponent still left the European champions temporarily lacking effective methods. Except for Bell's breakthrough and a wonderful goal in the first minute, Manchester United failed to break Al Sadd's goal for the second time in these ten minutes.

However, the Qatari defense only lasted twenty minutes. In the 22nd minute of the game, Manchester United knocked on Al Sadd's goal again. Bell once again broke through on the left and passed diagonally in front of the goal. Bell Hadji returned to defense and passed the ball back to the goalkeeper. As a result, the distance was too close and the Al Sadd goalkeeper was unable to clear the ball. The ball hit Rooney's leg and bounced into the goal.

2:0, Rooney scored twice!

………………

This goal conceded made the Al Sadd players very frustrated. Facing Manchester United's tidal attack, they were under too much pressure!

At this time, they finally understood why Manchester United had been invincible in Europe for more than a year and achieved a terrifying unbeaten record of more than 100 games on all fronts.

Al-Sad, who had not yet recovered, almost lost the ball again within a minute. In the 23rd minute, Manchester United, who once again intercepted Al-Sad's pass in the backcourt, launched a quick counterattack. Rooney made a direct pass, and Bale came in behind. The ball went into the net but was shaken away by the linesman.

Slow motion showed that the ball was actually difficult to be deemed offside, because Bell was level with Al Sadd's defender when he received the ball, but his arm was raised, and the referee ruled it offside.

Five minutes later, Manchester United's offense almost broke Al Sadd's goal again. In the 28th minute, Bell took a corner kick from the left. Welbeck headed the ball. Evans headed the ball again from close range. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

After the completion of this attack, Manchester United attacked several more times and posed a huge threat to Al Sadd's goal. After 30 minutes of the game, Manchester United finally slowed down the offensive slightly, which gave Al Sadd a A respite.

However, although Manchester United relaxed their offense, their defense did not relax, and Al Sadd could not threaten Manchester United's goal at all.

Then, when the game passed 40 minutes and Manchester United once again set off an offensive wave, Al Sadd's defense also collapsed.

In the 43rd minute, Manchester United expanded their lead. Sneijder sent a scalpel-like through ball in front of the penalty area. Phil Jones inserted into the penalty area and shot a low shot from the right side of the penalty area into the far corner. The ball was blocked by the Al Sadd goalkeeper and rolled into the net. nest.

3:0!

The half is not over yet, and Manchester United has already taken a huge three-goal lead!

………………

At the end of the first half, Manchester United temporarily led Al Sadd 3:0 with Rooney's brace and Phil Jones' goal. But many Japanese fans were not happy because Bell, who they most wanted to see score, failed to score.

Of course, Bell actually scored the goal, but the ball was mistakenly judged as offside by the linesman and was then disallowed.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United continued to attack, and then in the 63rd minute, Manchester United scored their fourth goal of the game.

In the 63rd minute, Bell crossed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area. Sneijder entered the penalty area and faced the attacking goalkeeper with a gentle move, and the ball went into the net.

Bell sent his second assist of the game, but he still did not score.

The Manchester United fans at the Yokohama International Arena kept calling for Bell to score a goal, but this actually made Al Sadd's players further strengthen their defense against Bell.

They have already lost 0:4 in this game, which has embarrassed them. If they can defend the almost omnipotent Bell and prevent him from scoring, it can be regarded as saving some face for them.

Bell was also very helpless about the thoughts of the Al Sadd players. When a team focuses on guarding him alone, there's nothing he can do no matter how good he is.

However, it is impossible for Al Sadd to completely defend Bell, because in this game, although Bell did not score a goal, he did provide two assists.

Moreover, it was precisely because Al Sadd invested too much defensive power in Bell that they had big problems with their defense in other positions. This is why they fell behind by four goals in just 60 minutes of the game.

………………

The voice of the fans made Manchester United players leave more scoring opportunities to Bell on the field, but this played into the hands of the Al Sadd people. As long as they strangled Bell, they could almost freeze Manchester United's goals. Attacked.

Then, from the 64th minute to the 80th minute of the game, although Manchester United attacked vigorously, they failed to score any goals.

Bell couldn't stand it any longer. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he called several offensive players together and asked them to play in a normal way, thus ending this boring offensive scene.

Manchester United, which returned to normal, immediately broke through Al Sadd's goal again.

In the 81st minute, Manchester United rewritten the score to 5:0. Manchester United played wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt. Bell tried to break into the penalty area to shoot, but he sent a through ball in front of the penalty area. Evra knew how to enter the penalty area and chose a small angle. A low shot into the near corner, the ball passed through the feet of the Al Sadd goalkeeper and entered the door.

Bell scored a hat trick of assists!

In the 85th minute, Ferguson made his third substitution adjustment of the game, and Ashley Young replaced Bell.

The Qataris finally got what they wanted. Although they were scored 5 goals by Manchester United, at least they prevented Bell from scoring. This was seen as a huge victory by them, and almost all Middle Eastern media made similar reports after the game.

In the end, Manchester United easily defeated the Asian champion Al Sadd 5::0. Rooney scored twice, midfielders Sneijder and Phil Jones each scored a goal, and Evra added the icing on the cake.

However, it was not Rooney who scored twice who won the best player of the game, but Bell who performed a hat-trick of assists.

Manchester United will face Copa Libertadores champions Santos in the final.
