Football King Bale

Manchester United has many free-kick masters on the field. Needless to say, Bale is definitely one of the most terrifying free-kick takers in today's football. Rooney, Robin van Persie, and Sneijder are also famous in world football. Free kick master.

But in Manchester United's formation, Bell is the unquestionable first taker of set kicks. Moreover, this free kick is located on the left side of Manchester United and is suitable for taking the penalty with the right foot. Van Persie is a famous left-hander and is obviously not suitable. And this free kick is more than 30 meters away from the goal, and it is not in the best position of Rooney and Sneijder. Within shooting range, so in the end it was Bell who took the penalty, while Sneijder stood beside him, intending to cover Bell.

After Manchester City set up the wall, referee Atkinson also exited the penalty area and immediately blew the whistle to indicate that free throws could be taken.

Bell and Sneijder exchanged glances. The Dutch midfielder nodded slightly and quickly rushed towards the ball, with Bell following closely behind.

Sneijder feinted a shot, and Bell followed up with a falling kick.

The ball quickly flew out from Bell's feet, crossed the wall, drew an arc, and landed at the back of the penalty area.

However, just as Joe Hart quickly moved towards the far post, then took off into the air to save, the ball in his sight suddenly turned and headed towards the center of the goal.

Joe Hart, who was in the air, could only watch in despair as the ball went from the middle of the goal near the crossbar and into the goal behind him.

………………

"The ball is in!"

"In the third minute of stoppage time, Manchester United exceeded the score again!"

"The direct free kick from Bale was scored. Bale made a beautiful penalty kick and completely deceived Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart!"

"This is a real buzzer-beater! Manchester City is dead, they have no time to equalize!"

"It can even be said that the competition for the Premier League title this season has basically lost its suspense. Although the league has only gone through sixteen rounds, Manchester United is already 15 points ahead of Manchester City. Considering Manchester United's terrible stability in recent years, for Manchester City Say, this is an insurmountable gap!”

"It is really unimaginable that in the Premier League, which has always been known for its fierce competition, teams are winning the championship earlier and earlier. In the past three seasons, Manchester United has almost established an advantage in the middle of the game that other teams cannot recover. , this season is even more true. After only 16 rounds of the league, Manchester United has surpassed its biggest competitor Manchester City by 15 points!"

"Through this victory in the Tianwangshan battle, Manchester United has also secured the half-time championship. They can confidently and boldly go to Japan to compete in the Club World Cup!"

…

As Zhan Jun said, Manchester City had no time to score anymore. Although Atkinson was very generous and added an extra minute, it was of no use. Manchester United finally defeated with a score of 3:2 at the Etihad Stadium. Defeated their rival in the same city and ended their opponent's undefeated streak in the Premier League.

Manchester City has 9 wins, 6 draws and one loss in the first 15 league games this season. It is the only team in the Premier League that is invincible. In addition, Manchester City's defense is getting better after experiencing the ups and downs at the beginning of the season. It only conceded 11 goals in the first 15 rounds and is the best defensive team in the Premier League.

But even such a reinforced concrete defense line could not withstand the strong impact of Manchester United's wolves headed by Bell. After a bitter derby battle, Manchester City's unbeaten record in the Premier League this season passed away.

And missed a chance to equal the longest unbeaten streak in the top flight in the club's history.

In the 1936-1937 season, Manchester City coach Wilf Wilder led the team to create a record of 22 consecutive unbeaten games in the top league. As long as Blue Moon, who had been unbeaten in 21 league games before, could score points in the derby, they could catch up. Tying the club's unbeaten record, but Mancini and his disciples failed to make their dream come true.

………………

Manchester City were eliminated from the Champions League for the second consecutive season, putting Mancini under tremendous pressure. The club's board of directors has built a 440 million pound team for him. However, the Premier League champions are at the bottom of this season's Champions League group stage. Not only is it difficult to win, but they have not even secured a spot in the Europa League. It is a great shame.

Chief Mansour has said that Mancini will definitely be dismissed if he cannot lead his team to win the Premier League championship this season. However, Manchester United is as strong as ever this season. With one more game, it is already 15 points ahead of Manchester City. The possibility of Manchester City reversing Manchester United is extremely slim.

Fortunately, Manchester City, which bid farewell to the League Cup in advance and bid farewell to the European war completely, only has two front-line tasks this season: the League and the FA Cup. Mancini can focus on the plan to defend the Premier League title, and Manchester United will inevitably be in trouble. Tired of fighting on the front lines.

Looking at the schedule, Manchester City has 4 games left in 2012, 3 away and 1 home, which is no small test for Blue Moon. Although Newcastle United, Sunderland, and Norwich are not strong teams, Manchester City has always lacked stability in away games. It is difficult to say whether it can achieve good results in consecutive away games. After all, you are a Premier League leader like Manchester United. Sheep, both lost to Norwich by 1 goal in the away game.

In order to win the first Premier League championship in the club's history, Manchester City must take every game seriously and strive to gradually close the points gap with Manchester United. Otherwise, what awaits them may be a season in which all four major players are defeated.

………………

Being able to defeat their rivals in the same city on the road and establish a huge points lead is undoubtedly excellent news for Manchester United, which aims to defend the Triple Crown for the second time. It not only means that they can go to East Asia without any worries. After participating in the Club World Cup and entering 2013, they can also focus more on the Champions League and FA Cup. After all, their huge lead in the league gives them enough room for error in the Premier League.

However, for such a game, neither Manchester United coach Ferguson nor the team's number one star Bale can be said to be satisfied.

Ferguson’s assessment of the Manchester Derby before the game was: “It is difficult for Chelsea and Arsenal to catch up, and the Premier League champion is most likely to come from our two teams.” With such a background, it is strange that the atmosphere of the game is not hot.

In the end, this red-blue dialogue did not disappoint the spectators. With fiery physical conflicts, ups and downs of the score, controversial penalties, bloodshed, and a stoppage-time winner, the 164th Manchester City Derby featured the most exciting and exciting process. It makes people think about it for a long time and find it hard to fall asleep.

Although the third Manchester derby officiated by referee Atkinson was still won by the red team, Ferguson still did not let go of the enemy who had banned him for 5 games after the game. He said in an interview: "I think We should have won a long time ago. Our goal was not offside at all. After the ball was disallowed, the opponent immediately counterattacked to get one back. Such plots are common in football fields."

It is understandable that Sir Alex Ferguson cursed the unfair penalty. If Bell's supplementary shot in the 59th minute was counted, the suspense of the outcome of the game would have been eliminated. However, the referee Atkinson ruled that the goal was invalid because of offside. Slow-motion replays showed that at the moment of Van Persie's shot, the leg of the last Manchester City defender was obviously closer to the baseline than Bell.

From 2:0 to 2:2, the Derby situation almost took a turn for the worse. Seeing that Manchester City was about to come back, Bell's magic free kick opened the door to victory for Manchester United.

There is misjudgment, and conflict is of course an indispensable part of the plot. Evans, Balotelli, Rafael and Rooney showed off their elbows and spikes in the fight time and time again, which was not only a demonstration to the opponent, but also a way to vent their passion.

Fighting for every ball and not giving up an inch of ground are the elements and attitudes that must be interspersed in derby games. The two sides were relatively calm in the first half, but they completely started fighting in the second half. The two teams scored 45 points and received 7 yellow cards, which was almost the same. A card appeared at 6 minutes, and the tension in the atmosphere was evident.

………………

When adrenaline accumulates to a certain level, there must be a gap to accumulate. After Bell's stoppage-time winner, the game scene was like a crater erupting.

Ferdinand was attacked with coins by opposing fans, causing blood to flow everywhere. Some radical fans rushed into the field and tried to attack the Manchester United central defender, and almost staged a fight with Ferdinand. And if the security staff at the Etihad Stadium had not set up a human wall in time, more fans might even rush into the stadium to "join the war."

After the game, Sir Alex Ferguson reprimanded the Manchester City fans who threw coins into the stadium and injured Ferdinand. He said: "It is regrettable that the Manchester City fans kept throwing coins into the stadium after we went ahead. Such behavior should not be done." Happened. The same thing happened when we played against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and of course the behavior of the Chelsea fans was overshadowed by something (referee Clattenburg’s controversial decision). At Stamford Bridge, I think half of the fans The stands were throwing coins and lighters into the field, but no one came to stop such behavior. This is a very serious problem. Today, I want to forget this unpleasant scene, because both sides gave a wonderful football Game. This game reflects the high standard of the Premier League, which is undoubtedly a great league."

Bell, who scored the winning goal, also expressed dissatisfaction with the fans who threw debris into the stadium: "The atmosphere in the stadium today was very good, and everyone was supporting their team. But what happened to Ferdinand It was a scene that should never happen on a football pitch."

After defeating local rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester United has extended its lead in the standings to 15 points, and the championship situation is excellent. But this victory cannot conceal the fact that Manchester United's defense is weak. Although it only took 28 minutes to achieve a two-goal advantage, the Red Devils' defense, which has been repeatedly cheated this season, once again became distracted and was chased by Manchester City for two goals in a row, almost missing a good game.

If Bell hadn't saved his opponent in danger, I'm afraid Ferguson would have used his iconic "hairdryer" lecture in the locker room again.
