Football King Bale

Chapter 460: Persistent Swansea

At 8:00 pm GMT on May 8th, a Premier League match was underway at Old Trafford.

This is a make-up match for the 37th round of the Premier League. Originally, this game was supposed to be played on the weekend, but because of Manchester United's participation in the FA Cup final, it was postponed until now.

At the same time, there is another team participating in the FA Cup final. Chelsea is away to challenge the Red Army Liverpool.

This is Manchester United's last home game this season, so although the team has already won the championship, Old Trafford is still crowded and the audience is full.

The biggest highlight of this game is that Bell sprinted to the record of goals scored by players in the five major leagues in a single season created by the legendary striker Dixie Dean 84 years ago.

Of course, because Bell is still 5 goals away from Dean's record, the possibility of Bell breaking the record in this game is very small. Everyone just wants to see how many goals Bell can score in this game. If there is a gap between Dean's records, then in the subsequent final round of competition, Bell has the hope of breaking the record. If not, then it is unlikely that he will hit this record.

Manchester United's opponent in this game is Swansea. This newly promoted Premier League team has performed well this season. After 36 rounds, they ranked 12th in the league with a record of 11 wins, 11 draws, 14 losses and 44 points. This made them successfully relegated early. At the same time, it has no hope of qualifying for the European War. It is a team that really wants nothing.

Coupled with the background of Swansea as a Welsh team, many players in the team are Welsh men's football players. Many people think that they will release water at Old Trafford to help Bell sprint Dean's record.

………………

The game entered the rhythm of Manchester United from the beginning.

In this game, Ferguson made a lot of adjustments in the starting lineup. It was not the traditional 442 formation, but a 433 formation. Ashley Young, Rooney and Nani formed the front trident.

Sneijder, Pogba and Kanter partnered in the midfield, and the defense was the most unexpected. The left and right backs were the original central midfielders Valencia and Ashley Young, and the central defender was Smalling. Combination with Phil Jones.

With Ferguson forming such a lineup, the answer is already very obvious. That is to help Bell fight to the last moment and never give up easily to break Dixie Dean's 84-year-old record.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United actively launched an offensive towards Swansea and pressed all the way.

Swansea obviously also know what Manchester United thinks,

From the beginning, he focused on defense and did not give Manchester United any chance. Although Bell is the pride of Wales, they will not release water in such a crucial game.

In fact, this is what Bell hopes to see. He doesn't want to say that when people talk about him breaking the record after a few years, they say that it can only be done by the opponent's release of water.

The two sides came and went, and the rhythm was very fast. However, although Manchester United was very aggressive, they still failed to find an effective way to break through Swansea's goal. This made the Red Devils unable to score in the first 20 minutes.

Bell also realized this very quickly. He knew that his teammates were conscious of giving him the ball, but in this way, the offense was affected instead, because as long as Swansea freezes Bell, Manchester United's offense will be greatly affected. .

This is definitely not a good strategy!

As Manchester United's field captain, Bell immediately made adjustments, and he began to actively create opportunities for his teammates.

In the 23rd minute, after Bell got the ball from the left, instead of dribbling into the penalty area, he used a pendulum to forcefully break through the defense of Swansea's right back, the Spaniard Angel Rangel. , the bottom line before the pass to the back point.

Ashley Young stepped in from the back from the right, and easily pushed through the right rib of the penalty area to break through Swansea's goal.

………………

Time passed bit by bit, and the first half was gradually coming to an end. Swansea did not give up focusing on Bell just because the team's city gate had been declared lost. Head coach Brendan Rodgers had made it clear before the game that Bale would not take even one goal away from them.

Swansea's head coach, Brendan Rogers, used to be Mourinho's assistant coach. Although he coached Swansea, he built Swansea into a team with excellent offense and defense. Known as Barcelona, ​​but Rodgers, who has followed Mourinho for a long time, also learned the essence of Mourinho's defense, and now he is using it against Bell. He does everything possible to freeze Bell, hoping to limit Manchester United. attack.

But in this way, other players were somewhat ignored. Especially in the case of Bell running and pulling in a wide range, it is impossible for Swansea's defensive formation to be perfect.

In the thirty-eighth minute, after switching lanes with Nani to the right wing, Bell took the ball and crossed it to the center.

Sneijder and Pogba played consecutive two-on-one cooperation, and Sneijder suddenly shot a cold arrow in front of the penalty area, making another victory for Manchester United and expanding the score to 2:0.

Although he failed to score, Bell was the first to run to celebrate with his teammates. He knows that his teammates want to help him score goals, but sometimes the situation is like this, and there is no way to force it.

Swansea's players are not wooden stakes, they will not be at the mercy and manipulation of Manchester United, they will also have their own targeted tactics, all Manchester United can do is to help Bale as much as possible.

"Let's grab a wave while they kick off," Sneijder suggested.

The first half is coming to an end, and it is still very hopeful to grab a wave at this time.

Although he still wants to compete with Bell for the team's top card, Rooney has never been a selfish person. He has also received a lot of assists from Bell this season. Now that Bell is sprinting to break the historical record, he also decided to reciprocate. He said: "That's a good idea. We are responsible for grabbing. As soon as Swansea kicks off, we will press up and grab the ball. After you grab the ball, try to pass it to me. The two central defenders in Swansea were all caught by me. It's settled."

As he said that, the little fat man looked at Bell and said, "Gareth, just pay attention to inserting behind you obliquely, and I will pass it to you."

Nani also nodded and said, "That's a good idea, I think it's feasible!"

Teammates, you talked to me and settled this matter.

………………

Soon, two of Swansea's attacking players stood in the center circle to re-kick off.

As soon as the ball was kicked out, Manchester United's players rushed up quickly, and they chased the defense all the way. The Swansea players were obviously taken aback. They didn't expect Manchester United to come again after just conceding a goal. In a hurry, the ball was quickly cut off in the middle, and Sneijder intercepted the pass from the opponent's midfielder.

After Pogba got rid of the defensive player, he passed to Rooney in the middle of the frontcourt. The little fat man blocked Swansea's central defender with his body, and picked Pogba's pass behind him with his right foot.

Then he saw Bell, like a bolt of lightning, quickly penetrated Swansea's defense.

More than 70,000 home team fans in the stands of Old Trafford cheered at this moment. In this game, they were more focused on Bale's goal. When they saw Bale slanting behind him at a very fast speed and catching up with Rooney's pass, many people even rushed out excitedly. Take your seat and get ready to cheer for the goal.

"Bale was not offside! He caught up with his teammate's pass and faced the goalkeeper directly!"

"Worm resolutely abandoned the goal... Bell... the beautiful pendulum is amazing! Facing the empty goal directly, the ball scored!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!! Bell! In the thirty-ninth minute, Bell finally broke through Swansea's goal!"

"This is a very sudden goal! Bell's league goals this season has reached 56 goals, only four goals away from Dixie Dean's record! As long as he scores four more goals in this game and the next game, He will equal the record of goals scored by players in the five major leagues in a single season created by the legendary Everton striker 84 years ago!"

...

After Bell scored the goal, he was so excited that he rushed out of the court, slid and knelt all the way to the front of the live TV camera.

Behind him, Manchester United players also rushed forward and surrounded him, not even knowing who kissed his forehead.

Bell got up from the ground and hugged his teammates one by one.

He is so grateful to this group of teammates!

Without their support, he would not have been able to score that many goals. The ball saint system has indeed helped him a lot, but football is a team sport after all, and he can save the team alone at some critical moments, but he still has to rely on the help of his teammates more often.

"There is still a second half!" Bell gritted his teeth and said, "There is still a second half, I think I can score again!"

"Of course, even if you don't want to enter, we won't let you go!"

"That's right, at least one more goal, and even a hat-trick!"

"If you score a hat-trick in this game, then your chances of breaking the record are greatly increased!"

The teammates booed, encouraged and supported Bell.

After the start of the second half, Swansea obviously continued to strengthen their defense.

This team has successfully relegated early this season, and there is no hope of hitting the European war, and there is no pursuit at all. The only motivation for this game is to prevent Bell from breaking the record on them. They don't want to be anyone's background board. Although their opponent is the spiritual leader of the Welsh men's football team and is the pride of Wales, they will not let Bell break their goal easily on such a major event that concerns the club's century-old history.

Bell also knew in his heart that if he wanted to score goals, he had to rely on his own efforts. Therefore, after the start of the second half, he continued to look for opportunities, and kept trying to rush into the opponent's penalty area.

Swansea players also tried to help him create chances, but unfortunately they failed to create threats.
