Football King Bale

Chapter 48: Unlit blue moon

   Tottenham topped the Premier League standings, Bell topped the Premier League scorer list, these two things are beyond everyone's expectations. For a time, public opinion in the UK was in an uproar.

   In view of the influence of the Premier League in the world, these two things not only caused a huge response in the UK, but many people around the world have noticed Tottenham and Bell.

Although the Premier League is known for its fierce competition, in the past ten years, in addition to the traditional three giants Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as the rapid rise of local tyrants Chelsea, few other teams have been able to reach the top The Premier League standings, especially when the season is about to pass halfway through.

   This season's Tottenham, can be considered to overturn the order of the Premier League in the past decade. They have been at the forefront of the standings since the start of the season. Although they lost to the Champions League briefly because of consecutive losses to Manchester United and Chelsea, they then returned to the victory track until the 16th round of the Premier League. They finally completely stepped Chelsea and Manchester United under their feet and monopolized the Premier League points. List leader.

In fact, not only is the world stunned by Tottenham's summit, even the Tottenham team themselves are up and down, and they are somewhat unprepared for this. In the previous melee with Chelsea and Manchester United, they were always worried, worrying about when the team would lose because of consecutive losses.

   But in the end they found out that it was not themselves, but Manchester United and Chelsea, which was too unexpected.

  Just when most of Tottenham's players felt unreal, the team ushered in the 17th round opponent Manchester City's challenge.

  ………………

   Manchester City originally had no sense of presence in the Premier League, almost all in the second half of the standings, and even had a record of relegation.

   However, in the summer of two years ago, after Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra acquired Manchester City, Manchester City ushered in a turning point. Especially last summer, the Middle East oil tycoon's entry into Manchester City has set off an acquisition frenzy.

  However, despite the fact that the team has invested nearly 200 million pounds in the past year, the city has not produced any convincing results. After 16 rounds of the league, they achieved 6 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses, ranking sixth in the Premier League standings with 26 points.

   Therefore, Manchester City's current coach Mark Hughes is already in a crisis of confidence. Recently, the major media have continuously reported that he will be out of class.

  On the day before the game, the Sun reported again that the Manchester City boss Mansour Chief has decided that if the White Hart Lane stadium is still unable to win, the team will immediately dismiss Mark Hughes.

In this visit to White Hart Lane, Manchester City are elite, goalkeeper Given, four guards Silvinho, Colo Toure, Richards, Onoha, three midfielders Ireland, Barry, De Jong, three forwards Debayo, Tevez, Robinho.

   It can be said that this set of lineup is very powerful, and none of them is an unknown.

  Not only that, on the bench of Manchester City, there are also famous generals such as Johnson, Bridge, Compani, Sabaletta, Martin Petrov, Santa Cruz and so on.

  On the lineup, even Tottenham coach Lao Lei was a bit jealous.

Lao Lei is still a 442 lineup, goalkeeper Gomez, four guards Ector, Basson, Dawson and Joel Luca, four midfielders, Huddlestone and Palacios dragged, Bell and Lennon separated, and the double forward is still a high-speed combination of Crouch and Defoe.

  ………………

   Because of the unstable position, Mark Hughes gave the Manchester City players a death order, that is, they must win this game, so after the game began, Manchester City launched a sharp attack on the Tottenham goal.

  The Manchester City players are indeed very capable. They quickly scored in Tottenham's half and had two threatening shots. Their cooperation pierced Tottenham's ribs. Tevez received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, but Dawson blocked the shot with a strong shot.

  Tevez's response was very agile, and he immediately grabbed the landing point, but his second shot was because he was too hasty.

   was suppressed by Manchester City at home for five minutes, which made Tottenham players very uncomfortable. After overcoming this wave of Manchester City attacks, they also immediately launched a counterattack.

  Bell uses Scholes' experience card, so although he is in the position of left-back, but after the game starts, he is more active in the middle and plays the role of midfielder commander. Instead, Palacios often inserted forward and played the role of left forward.

In the fifth minute of the game, Bell received a pass from Huddlestone in the backcourt and took the ball through the half. Seeing Palacios sideline, and the Manchester City player who defended him was not too tight. The long pass hits the left.

   Palacios and Bell are still very good. When Bell took the ball forward, he had already started to run forward. After Bell's ball went out, he had already rushed.

However, Manchester City’s right-back Mika Richards is very strong. Not only is he strong, he is not slow, he quickly followed Palacios and has been squeezing Palacios aside. Opportunity kicked in. When approaching the bottom line, Palacios had no choice but to kick the ball on Richards and demand a corner kick.

  The corner kick from Joel Luca accurately found the highest point in the penalty area, Crouch. The high-handed force pressed Richards to throw his head and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

  ………………

   Both sides come and go, playing offensive football. However, the competitive status of Manchester City players is not very good, coupled with the support of home fans, Tottenham still has a big advantage in the scene.

   In the 9th minute of the game, Tottenham once again scored a shot. This time Bell scored the ball to the right in the midfield. Lennon used the speed to force Silvinho, but after the bottom, he passed the ball to the corner of the big penalty area.

  Bell also ran forward after passing the ball. When he was passing by Lennon, he saw that Lennon was going to pass the ball back to the triangle and immediately accelerate forward.

  However, Manchester City's midfielder De Rong followed Bell bluntly. When he saw Bell running forward, he immediately leaned over, constantly harassing Bell with small movements, making him unable to run completely.

  Although Bare barely grabbed the landing point, but under the interference of De Jong, his shot did not fully exert force, rubbing the goal post and out of the bottom line.

   However, this also surprised De Jong, he did not expect that Bell's shot under his push even had such a big threat.

   He glared fiercely at Bell and said, "Boy, I remember you!"

   For De Jong, Bell will not be unfamiliar. This is one of the two famous villains in football today. He and Real Madrid's central defender Pepe are also called "South Pepe North De Jong". However, Bell would not be afraid of him, just glanced at him and ran back.

   Seeing that his threat had no effect, it made De Rong a little annoyed.

   In the following game, De Jong defended Bell with more small moves, especially when the game reached the 16th minute, he even stumbled Bell after Bell broke through him.

   At that time, Bell had just taken off, so he fell a bit hard this time, with a big bite of turf in his mouth.

  Bell hadn't got up yet to find De Jong to settle the accounts. Palacios, who was closest to him, ran over first, looked at De Jong fiercely and said, "Boy, what do you want to do!"

De Jong was not a good cultivator. He stood up immediately and stared back at Palacios. The two almost lifted the cow~www.NovelMTL.com~ And on the sidelines, Tottenham assistant coach Joe Jordan was also Manchester City's head coach Mark Hughes quarreled, and Bell was Tottenham's baby pimple. If Manchester City fouled him like this, they had to find their place.

The referee Willie ran when Bell was kicked. He stopped Palacios and De Jong who was about to face the bull. When he was about to show a yellow card to De Jong, he was reminded by the assistant referee. Run to the sidelines to warn against Tottenham assistant coach and Manchester City coach.

  It was just that, with such a stir, he forgot to give Derong a yellow card.

  ………………

After some confusion, the game restarted and Tottenham kicked a free kick on the side of the Manchester City goal on the middle ring.

  Bell signaled that all players in the front court would move forward. He planned to hang the ball directly to the penalty area.

   After Willy blew his whistle, Bell drove the ball forward, looking for Crouch in the penalty area.

   Crouch grabbed the ball's landing point, but under the defense of two strong Manchester City defenders, he could not directly attack the goal, so he chose to head back to find partner Defoe.

   Defoe received the ball from Crouch and was raising his foot to prepare for the shot. However, Colo Touré shoveled the ball away and took Defoe.

   Tottenham players immediately surrounded Willy and demanded a penalty kick. But Willie shook his hands again and again, saying that Toure had tackled the ball first, not a foul.

   Although the Tottenham players are unhappy, they have no choice but to disperse.

   The next game, the pace is still very fast. They also got some shooting opportunities, but failed to rewrite the score.

   In this fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, time passes quickly, and half an hour has passed unconsciously.
