Football King Bale

Chapter 608 The twenty-first crown!

Bell's goal gave Manchester United a 1:0 lead and killed the suspense of victory early, because Sunderland only scored a pitiful 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 12 losses) after conceding the first goal in the Premier League 14 times this season. ), and Manchester United has achieved an unbeaten record of 52 wins and 2 draws in the past 52 times in the Premier League when scoring the first goal of the game.

After the first goal was scored, the game became easier.

In the 27th minute, Manchester United once again launched a quick counterattack.

Modric also sent a long overhead pass to Bell. After taking the ball, Bell used his speed to break through Sunderland's defense and made a precise long pass to the center of the penalty area.

After Van Persie got the ball, the edge of the penalty area continued to shake. After getting rid of Ndiaye, he suddenly volleyed with his left foot. The ball was blocked by Bramble on the edge of the penalty area with his right leg, hit his knee and flew into the right corner of the goal. Manchester United Hence the 2:0 lead.

After scoring, Van Persie pointed at Bell with a smile, took the initiative to run towards Bell, and celebrated the goal with Bell.

Then other teammates followed and celebrated the goal together.

However, the goal was not ultimately credited to Robin van Persie, but instead counted as an own goal from Sunderland centre-back Bramble.

As a result, Van Persie lost one goal and Bell also lost one assist.

It is worth mentioning that Sunderland has conceded 6 own goals to Manchester United in the Premier League era. No other team has performed so generously against the same opponent except Sunderland. Anton Ferdinand (2 goals), Melville, Stanislav Varga, Wes Brown and Bramble are all lucky enough to become "anti-bone boys".

………………

Five minutes later, Sunderland's left-back Ross tripped Rooney in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

Bell took the penalty kick and hit it easily, 3:0!

It wasn't over yet, as the first half came to an end, Robin van Persie pulled to the right, taking Sunderland's centre-back away, and Sneijder moved forward at the right time.

Bell saw Sneijder's movement, and he passed the ball comfortably to the feet of the Dutch midfielder.

Then it was time for the Dutch midfield show. He rushed with the ball and suddenly knocked his heel in front of the penalty area, stopping the football abruptly.

The Sunderland player who was guarding him was caught off guard. He lost his center of gravity due to his emergency stop and fell to the ground.

Afterwards, Sneijder quickly made a pass with fried balls. This time he still used his heel, and the pass was very concealed.

After passing the defensive player, Sneijder quickly caught up with the football and blasted the ball into the net, 4:0!

After this goal, the referee blew the halftime whistle.

With a huge four-goal lead, Bale and his teammates walked into the dressing room.

A big deficit at half-time further reduced Sunderland's hope of reversal. Before this game, the Black Cats had fallen behind at half-time 10 times in the Premier League this season. The final result was 2 draws, 8 losses and no wins. Manchester United's recent Not only did they remain unbeaten in the 18th half-time lead in the Premier League, they also won 18 of them!

This data shows that the Red Devils are very knowledgeable about maintaining their lead.

………………

In the stands of the Stadium of Light, fans from far and wide rejoiced. The fans of the home team, on the other hand, were in a very low mood.

On the Internet, fans were also talking about the first half of this game.

"Why are Sunderland playing against Manchester United? Isn't this looking for death?" Some fans asked in confusion.

A veteran Manchester United fan explained: "Sunderland is the younger brother of Manchester United. Of course, they must find a way to lose to the boss in an honest way."

Another fan who didn’t know which team he was from said somewhat sourly: “Who doesn’t know that Sunderland is the second team of Manchester United, and their responsibility is to score six points for Manchester United every season and at the same time block Manchester United’s championship rivals? . Didn’t you see how energetic Sunderland was when they played Manchester City at home on Boxing Day, and they just beat Blue Moon!"

Whenever they meet Manchester United's title rivals, they fight to the death.

It's interesting to play against Manchester United when you meet them. Such an opponent is interesting!

Playing against Sunderland should be said to be Manchester United's favorite opponent in the Premier League era. Because before this game, the Black Cats' winning rate against the Red Devils was only a pitiful 4.4%. Before the game, Euro Club Index gave Manchester United a 65% probability of winning all three points in this campaign, which even made people feel that the prediction was a bit too much. Conservative.

It’s just that the teams are in conflict with each other, and Ferguson is also firmly committed to O’Neill as the coach, because in the past 21 matches between the two, Sir Alex Ferguson only allowed the former Sunderland coach to taste victory twice.

However, in fact, this game is not entirely to blame Sunderland.

Just look at Stephen Fletcher and Catmull sitting side by side in casual clothes in the stands to understand most of the reasons. Look at the front man charging for Sunderland. It is Danny Graham. Maybe the Manchester United defense I am mostly relieved. Counting this campaign, this person has not scored a goal in the league for 459 minutes. To put it crudely, it is just a show-off.

In the second half of the game, the team still led by a large score and had an obvious advantage on the field.

Because after 48 hours, Manchester United was going to Stamford Bridge to challenge the Blues Chelsea and usher in the FA Cup quarter-final rematch, so Ferguson began to rotate and let some players take a rest.

He first replaced Carrick with Kante.

Before the start of this season, with the joining of Modric, Fletcher's recovery, and the rise of Kante, plus Scholes getting stronger as he matures, many people are not optimistic about Carrick's future at Manchester United.

But when the season started, Carrick performed very well, and he was not injured very much, and he established himself as one of the two main defensive midfielders.

But after all, Carrick is already a veteran who is about to turn 32 years old. In order to protect him, Ferguson asked him to take a rest.

Kante is different from Carrick in that he covers a larger area than Carrick when defending. He even liberates Sneijder and Modric to a certain extent, making the defensive tasks of the two midfielders much lighter. Although Kanter is not as good at organizing offense as Carrick, his passing ability is not bad either. Manchester United's advantage on the field becomes more and more obvious.

Soon after, Ferguson replaced Modric and Bale with Pogba and Hernandez.

After Hernandez came on the field, Rooney retreated and Manchester United returned to the traditional 442 formation, but Manchester United's advantage on the field remained unchanged.

In the 82nd minute, Pogba made a pass from the left, and Hernandez headed the ball in the penalty area to help Manchester United rewrite the score to 5:0!

In the end, Manchester United defeated Sunderland 5-0 at the Stadium of Light. In terms of appearance and number of goals scored, they have huge advantages.

And in this way, Manchester United has obtained the 14th Premier League championship trophy in the history of the club and the 21st top league championship trophy!

………………

After the game, the disappointed Sunderland fans quickly left the stadium and gave up the Stadium of Light to Manchester United.

It's clear that this is about to be a place for Manchester United people to celebrate.

Considering that Manchester United has a high probability of winning the championship after this game, the Football Association and the Premier League brought the championship trophy to the Stadium of Light before the game to facilitate the presentation of awards after Manchester United won the championship.

In the stadium, the Sunderland players also quickly left the field after shaking hands with the Manchester United players. Even a former Manchester United player like O'Shea will not stay on the court at this time and watch his old teammates lift the championship trophy.

At the same time, the number of Manchester United fans in the stands was increasing rapidly. It turned out that the Sunderland club had released control of the stadium, allowing Manchester United fans outside to enter the stadium and participate in Manchester United's championship award ceremony.

So, when the podium was ready and the Manchester United players re-entered to receive their awards, the number of Manchester United fans in the stands of the Stadium of Light had exceeded 20,000. The fans' high-pitched singing even made the players think they were in the stadium. Old Trafford!

But this is not Old Trafford after all, so after the award ceremony was completed, the Manchester United players did not stay longer at the Stadium of Light and quickly packed up and left.

Sunderland Club gives Manchester United face, so that Manchester United people can celebrate winning the championship here, but you also have to take care of other people's face, and you can't really regard this place as your own territory.

………………

Manchester United did not hold a large-scale celebration when they returned to Manchester, because after winning the league, Manchester United will face a devilish schedule again.

The Champions League and FA Cup games are coming one after another. If Manchester United wants to win more championships, they still have to go through a tough battle.

Not to mention, due to the previous FA Cup quarter-finals at home with Chelsea, Manchester United failed to maintain the lead after leading 2:0 at home and was equalized by the Blues with two goals, so they had to go away. Have a rematch.

The game time is at 12:30 noon on April 1st, which is only 46 hours before Manchester United wins the league championship in the away game!

However, Manchester United defeated Sunderland by a huge score to win the Premier League title this season, and the impact was far-reaching.

Shortly after the game ended, the Manchester United players just flew back to Manchester. In the game at the Etihad Stadium, although Manchester City beat Newcastle 4-0, the victory was meaningless.

What makes it even more emotionally difficult for Manchester City players to accept is that they will be a guest at Old Trafford in the next league game, which means they will line up on the road to welcome the league champion!

As mortal enemies and competitors in the same city, this is simply a humiliation for them!

Under tremendous psychological pressure, many people blamed Manchester City coach Mancini for the cause of all this, believing that it was his incompetence that led to the humiliation of the team.

During the game, Blue Moon captain Kompany was substituted. He took off the captain's armband and strode out of the sideline with a solemn expression. He had no communication with Mancini on the sidelines and seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction with the coach through actions.

Then a few hours later, the Sunderland club officially announced that coach Martin O'Neill was dismissed. The Sunderland club believed that Martin O'Neill must be fully responsible for the team's eight consecutive games without a win and the ranking plummeting to 16th place.
