Football King Bale

After the entire Manchester United team enjoyed a pleasant three-day holiday in Sardinia, they took a flight back to Manchester on the morning of February 17.

On the evening of February 18th GMT, Manchester United ushered in the fifth round of the FA Cup and played a home game against Reading.

Because Manchester United's next game will not come until the afternoon of February 24, that is, the League Cup final against Bradford at the new Wembley Stadium. The time interval is relatively long, so Ferguson will play in this FA Cup match. In the fifth round, there were still many main players. The forward is a combination of Bell, Rooney and Hernandez, the midfield is Kanter, Scholes and Giggs, and the defense is Valencia, Evans, Smalling and Ashley Young. partner.

In addition, Robin van Persie, who was injured in the game against Queens Park Rangers, has also recovered from his injury and was included on the substitute list for this FA Cup match by Ferguson.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United, who had had a pleasant holiday, were in great shape. Under the leadership of Bale, they were in full swing, beating Reading 5:1 and successfully advancing to the quarter-finals of this year's FA Cup.

Bell scored one goal, added two assists and was responsible for the remaining two goals. Hernandez and Rooney also scored a goal each, and Pogba and Giggs also scored a goal each.

At this point, seven of the eight games in the fifth round have been played, with only Middlesbrough's home game against the Blues Chelsea remaining, which was postponed to the end of the month for some reason.

In the FA Cup quarter-finals draw held the day before, the winner of Manchester United and Reading will face the winner of Middlesbrough and Chelsea.

Now Manchester United has successfully defeated Reading to enter the quarter-finals, and with Chelsea's strength, it is also a high probability that they will defeat Middlesbrough. Therefore, Manchester United's opponent in the FA Cup quarter-finals is almost certain to be the Blues.

The other three quarter-final matches will be between Manchester City and Barnsley, Millwall and Blackburn, and the winner of the rematch between Everton and Oldham and Wigan Athletic.

When the FA Cup entered the quarter-finals, people suddenly discovered that there were not many strong teams left in the quarter-finals!

The four quarter-finals of the FA Cup will be played on the second weekend of March, which is the weekend after the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

………………

Sunday, February 24th.

Red Devils fans from all over the world gathered in London and gathered at the new Wembley Stadium.

On this afternoon, Manchester United is likely to win their first championship trophy in 2013.

In the League Cup final, the Red Devils will face Bradford at the new Wembley Stadium to compete in the Capital One Cup.

Although the opponent is only a League Two team, Manchester United does not dare to take it lightly, because this season, Bradford has stepped on the corpses of Premier League teams to reach the final. Previously, they first defeated the Premier League team Wigan Athletic, and then eliminated the powerful wealthy team Arsenal through a penalty shootout. In the semi-finals, another Premier League team Aston Villa became The object of humiliation.

According to the "Mirror", which is not too big a deal to watch the excitement, Bradford has become the first fourth-tier league team in 51 years to reach the League Cup final with its feat in the League Cup. The last time The only team of the same level that reached the final of this event was Rochdale in 1962, but the League Cup had just been established at that time and many top league teams did not participate.

In addition, Bradford last reached the final of a major competition 102 years ago. In 1911, the team reached the FA Cup final and won the championship.

On the eve of the League Cup final, Bradford head coach Parkinson said excitedly: "Our road to promotion is too difficult! Almost all of our opponents are Premier League teams. Now we dream that the team can win in the Premier League." It was another honor after winning the FA Cup in 1911. Now I am even more eager for the final to be between us and Manchester United, that will be a victory for football!"

………………

Although it is a League Cup that seems a bit tasteless,

But Manchester United fans seemed to be highly concerned.

What they are concerned about is not that their opponent in the final is Bradford, who has repeatedly performed miracles, but whether Manchester United can win the sixth League Cup trophy in the club's history after a year.

After defeating Chelsea in last year's Champions League final and winning the fifth Champions League trophy in the club's history, Manchester United's championship honors are only inferior to their archrival Liverpool in winning the somewhat tasteless League Cup and Europa League.

Among the current major championship honors of the two teams, Manchester United leads the English top league 20 to 18 times, the Champions League is tied at 5 to 5, and Manchester United is also far ahead in the FA Cup with 13 to 7.

However, Liverpool has won 3 Europa League championships, while Manchester United has 0. In addition, Liverpool has also won 8 League Cup championships, also ahead of Manchester United, which has won 5 times.

Nowadays, what Red Devils fans are pursuing is to comprehensively surpass Liverpool, so they are also paying attention to the League Cup champion, which they have always regarded as useless.

As for the Europa League title, Red Devils fans don’t want to think about it. After all, who wants to win the Europa League when there is the Champions League?

You, Liverpool, have three more Europa League titles than I do, so let’s use the three Champions League trophies to offset that!

Anyway, after winning the championship year after year, the Red Devils fans are so confident.

As for the Bradford coach's championship declaration, the Red Devils fans just laughed.

Think we are weak chickens like Arsenal?

How dare you brag about us and teach you how to behave in minutes!

………………

The confidence of the Red Devils fans is emboldened, especially when the League Cup final begins.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Oh God, my God!"

"Bell! It's Bell again! Only three minutes into the game, Bell quickly took the ball from the left and cut in, then hit the goal directly with his right foot, giving Manchester United the first to break through Bradford's goal! The assist was Sneijder !”

"Goal and take the lead in just three minutes! Bradford's defenders couldn't stop him!"

"This afternoon, Bale was in a very excited state and he looked very active."

…

Just three minutes into the game, Bell scored a goal for Manchester United.

This quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire new Wembley Stadium. More than 50,000 Manchester United fans rushed out of their seats and shouted Bale's name crazily. All Manchester United players also rushed forward to celebrate Bale's achievement. ball.

The more than 30,000 Bradford fans seemed a little confused. They could not imagine that their team had lost the ball so early.

Is the team in front of me a little different from those Premier League teams like Arsenal?

It's not just the Bradford fans who are confused, their players on the field are also confused, and even the head coach on the sidelines, the same Parkinson who issued the championship declaration yesterday.

The coach's performance at this moment was like an old man suffering from Parkinson's disease, with a look of dementia on his face.

………………

Scoring in the first three minutes showed Bell's extremely excellent competitive state.

Ferguson on the sidelines also looked very happy, his old face glowing red.

He has really discovered now that as long as Bell is in good condition and plays smoothly, Manchester United will be unfavorable.

The facts also confirm his view. After Bell opened the scoring, Manchester United continued to attack aggressively.

Bradford organized a tight defense, but it only lasted fifteen minutes.

In the 18th minute, Bell, who changed paths and went to the right, passed back to Rafael. The Brazilian right back moved in a wide range. Evra assisted Rooney to score the second goal of the game.

Manchester United expanded the score 2:0.

Bradford conceded two goals in a row, and the team's morale took a heavy blow.

Sixteen minutes later, this time it was Van Persie, another striker, who was personally responsible. With an assist from Sneijder and a connection between two Dutch players, General Van Persie scored in the penalty area, further expanding the score for Manchester United.

3:0!

………………

Taking a three-goal lead in the first half, with all three forwards scoring, Manchester United's morale was high.

During the halftime break, Ferguson was full of praise for the team's performance and repeatedly encouraged the players to keep up their efforts and strive to win the first championship trophy this year with a big victory.

In fact, the old man was also a little worried about what Bradford head coach said yesterday.

Your English League Two team was lucky enough to make it to the finals, but you still dare to compete with me for the championship? !

It is better to chase the poor bandits with courage, not to be a famous scholar!

The old man may not know this famous saying from the founding head of the East, but he understands the truth.

In the second half, the game changed sides and Bradford's defense once again only lasted fourteen minutes. In the 59th minute, Kanter picked up the ball at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball behind him. After Bell inserted his chest to stop the ball, he turned and volleyed with his left foot and hit the goal, giving Manchester United another victory and scoring twice.

The score on the field became 4:0!

Manchester United fans are completely crazy, even though their opponent is only a League Two team, the background of this game is the League Cup final!

All the fans at the scene were chanting Bell's name.

But just when everyone thought Manchester United would stop there, in the 67th minute, Bell suddenly appeared in the middle of the field. After getting the ball, he dribbled all the way to the front of the penalty area, suddenly kicked the ball and scored again. Score.

50!

For Manchester United's on-field opponent Bradford, it was truly a crushing defeat!

After conceding 5 goals in less than 70 minutes, Bradford was completely defeated.

And one day ago, Bradford coach Parkinson, who had vowed to defeat Manchester United and win the first League Cup championship in the club's history, was now ashen-faced, sitting blankly on the coaching bench, motionless. move!

Bell once again scored a hat trick, letting everyone see his excellent competitive state with three goals.
