Football King Bale

After successfully defeating West Ham United at home, it's Christmas.

However, Manchester United players cannot celebrate Christmas wantonly, because at noon on Boxing Day, the first game of the Boxing Day war, Manchester United will go away to challenge newly promoted Hull City, who have performed well this season.

Hull City is a team that is inextricably linked to Manchester United. The first is their coach Steve Bruce. As the former captain of Manchester United, Bruce has been dismissed from Sunderland since November 30, 2011. The next summer he took up the job at Hull City, which was still in the English Championship at the time, and led Hull City to the Premier League after one season.

In addition, there are several players in the Hull City team who have a deep relationship with Manchester United, such as team defender Chester, and Bruce's son Alex Bruce, etc.

For these reasons, Hull City is considered to be a Manchester United team in the Premier League.

In this game, Bell got a rest.

Since entering December, Bell has played six games, averaging less than four days to play a game. In the previous game against West Ham United, Ferguson saw Bell's fatigue, so he chose to replace him in the 70th minute of the game.

Because there is no need to play in the Boxing Day game, and Liu Xian'er also flew to the UK from the East to spend Christmas with Bell, so this Christmas, Bell chose to take Liu Xian'er back to Cardiff City, with him in this time and space. Parents spend Christmas together.

In the UK, because children generally become self-reliant relatively early, on such an important day as Christmas, it is a very important signal for children to take a girl back to their hometown to spend Christmas with their parents, just like Easterners take girls home during the Spring Festival. Same as New Year.

This is also the first time that Bell has brought a girl to his hometown of Cardiff City, which makes the old Bell couple very happy. Although Liu Xian'er is not British, the beautiful and gentle Liu Xian'er was recognized by them immediately.

Especially when Liu Xian'er greeted them in fluent and standard English with a London accent, the old couple were even more happy.

Seeing Liu Xian'er chatting and laughing with old Bell and his wife, Bell felt extremely relieved and let go of many things in his heart.

On this Christmas night, Cardiff City’s night lights are endlessly charming…

……………………

On Boxing Day, Bale and Liu Xianer remained at their hometown in Cardiff City. However, he still watched Manchester United's match against Tiger City on the banks of the River Hull in Yorkshire via live television.

For this game, the media and betting companies are all optimistic about Manchester United's away win. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, as a new member of the Premier League Manchester United, Bruce's team will definitely be very good during the critical period when Manchester United scores points. The respectful three-pointer helped Manchester United successfully widen the gap with its competitors in the Premier League standings.

However, when the game started, people discovered that Tiger City had no intention of surrendering at home.

This game is the 25th main-season meeting between the two clubs. Previously, Manchester United had a clear advantage with 16 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. Among them, Hull City lost all 4 times in the Premier League. In fact, the Red Devils have lost all 4 games against Hull City since November 1974. After losing to Hull City 0:2 in an away game last month, the two sides have won the last 7 main matches and scored 20 goals.

In this game, Steve Bruce has made the same starting lineup for four consecutive rounds; for Manchester United,

Welbeck continued to start with a knee injury, but Phil Jones suffered a knee injury and needed to miss two weeks. At the same time, Carrick and Robin van Persie also continued to be absent. Bale was given a rotation and continued to vacation in Cardiff City. Fletcher started for the first time in nearly 13 months and this was also his 250th start in a Manchester United shirt.

At the start of the first half, Hull City got off to a dream start. In the 4th minute, Bell's former Tottenham teammate Huddlestone took a corner kick from the right. Bruce beat Evra on the edge of the small penalty area and headed the ball to the goal. Chester shot from close range with his left foot to break the deadlock. Hull City leads 1:0.

However, judging from the replay footage, Hull City's corner kick was slightly controversial. Elmohammadi's cross from the right was kicked directly out of the baseline, instead of being blocked by Cleverley who slid in the tackle.

………………

The unexpected goal conceded at the beginning made the Manchester United players realize that this game was not as easy as expected, and they also increased their pressure.

In the 9th minute, Welbeck's header flew over. Ashley Young, who was Manchester United's left winger, accidentally kicked McGregor when he rushed to shoot, almost causing a conflict.

Three minutes later, Manchester United suffered another blow. Sabau passed the ball from the left. Livermore stopped the ball too much. Mele's shot was blocked by Evans. However, Evans' poor clearance resulted in an assist. Mele's shot was from 8 meters away. Evan Si blocked again, but unexpectedly it interfered with goalkeeper De Gea's judgment. The ball was refracted into the net, and Hull City led 2:0.

The Manchester United fans watching the game in front of the TV were a little dumbfounded. Could it be that Manchester United's first defeat of the season would come at such an important moment as Boxing Day?

………………

It is said that good fortune never comes singly. Manchester United, which was trailing by two goals in the away game, suffered another blow in the 18th minute of the game. This season's main right back, Rafael, was injured while fighting with his opponents and was unable to persist in the game. Ferguson had to choose to substitute.

This accident further deepened the worries of Manchester United fans. Is Manchester United really going to lose?

Especially considering that Bell was not included in Manchester United's squad for this game, Manchester United fans were even more unsure.

But what made Ferguson embarrassed was that Manchester United did not have any good substitutes at right back. In desperation, he had to let Ashley Young, who had previously played as a left winger, switch to the right back.

This change is really big, it can be called a 180-degree reversal.

The substitute was youngster Januzaj.

Because of Bell's transfer to Manchester United, Jia Baoyu, who was supposed to be very popular after the start of this season, had very few opportunities to perform before. In this game, Bell took a rest, and some people in the team were injured early, so he gained a lot. Opportunities for time to play.

Januzaj's talent is quite good. After his appearance, he forced Figueroa to foul and not only received a yellow card, but also sent a free kick in the threatening area, which resulted in Manchester United's first goal of the game.

In the 19th minute, Rooney took a free kick from the right side of the frontcourt to the goal. With two people guarding him, Smalling jumped 8 meters away from the goal and scored with a header, helping Manchester United regain a point.

………………

This goal sounded the clarion call for Manchester United to counterattack, and Manchester United immediately formed frequent threats to attack the goal.

In the 21st minute, Cleverley's shot from the front of the penalty area was saved by McGregor.

In the 22nd minute, Rooney took a pass from Januzaj and shot high.

After missing two consecutive chances to score, Manchester United finally seized the opportunity. In the 25th minute, Evans sent a long pass from midfield, and Rooney hit him with his back. When Davis was defending Welbeck behind him, he took a kick but the placement was not good. Rooney blocked it 25 meters away from the goal and then hit it right. The foot volleyed out a wonderful world wave and sent the ball into the upper left corner of the Hull City goal.

Manchester United tied the score at 2:2. This was also Xiaopang's 150th Premier League goal for Manchester United.

However, Manchester United failed to score again in the first half, and Hull City and Manchester United entered the halftime break tied at 2:2.

At the beginning of the second half, Hull City made two substitutions and launched a counterattack. Obviously, they want to keep the three points at home.

In the 62nd minute, Huddlestone's long-range shot from outside was blocked by Evra and missed the baseline. Immediately, Huddlestone took a corner kick from the right. Bruce's header hit the goal beam and the ball bounced out. Manchester United escaped.

Whether things turn out well or not, Manchester United, which escaped the disaster, will soon have good luck. In the 66th minute, Ashley Young made a pass from the right. In order to prevent Rooney from outflanking, Chester nodded the ball in front to clear the siege, but accidentally headed the ball into his own goal and gave an own goal.
