Football King Bale

As the Champions League match between Manchester United and Galati Steel ended and the players boarded the passenger plane back to the UK, the entire Manchester United team has entered Manchester City Derby mode.

Liu Xianer found that her boyfriend's expression became more and more serious in the next two days, and he seemed to be worried at any time. This surprised Liu Xian'er, because in her impression, although her boyfriend didn't talk much, he always had a smile on his face.

Liu Xianer knows that Manchester United's next game is the Manchester Derby. She also knows that this Manchester Derby is different from previous Manchester Derbys. If the Manchester derby in previous years lacked many elements that could be hyped due to Manchester City's weakness, then this derby is full of topics.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that this game is the pinnacle dialogue between the top two teams in the Premier League. It is a battle for the top spot. It is a battle at Tianwang Mountain. It is also one of the two teams with the strongest offense and defense in the Premier League so far. Confrontation between.

In the past 8 rounds of the league, Manchester United has led the way with 24 points with 8 consecutive victories. Manchester United's strength is not only reflected in points, but also in other key statistics. Having scored 35 goals in 8 rounds, their firepower far exceeds any opponent. The 6 goals conceded are also the best in the Premier League. Similarly, the 29 goal difference is also the best in the Premier League. Even the other teams have not scored as many goals as them. The goal difference is high.

If Manchester United is the well-deserved number one in the current Premier League, then the statistics of its rivals in the same city are undoubtedly the second. Ranked second in the standings with 22 points with 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 rounds. The number of 27 goals scored is also second in the Premier League. The number of goals conceded is the same as Manchester United, which is 6. It is tied with Newcastle, another team that also conceded 6 goals, for the best defense in the Premier League. good.

But even if he encounters a strong enemy, with Bell's character, he should be full of battles instead of preoccupied.

………………

On Friday night, when the two of them had enjoyed the pleasure and slept in each other's arms, Liu Xian'er still asked the doubts in her heart.

Two days later will be the crucial battle. Liu Xianer feels that given her boyfriend's current situation, it may be difficult for him to display his due strength in the competition.

Bell was speechless for a long time after hearing Liu Xian'er's inquiry. He didn't know what to say to Liu Xian'er. As a time traveler, he knew that Manchester United was about to suffer the most painful defeat in recent decades. However, others did not know what had not happened yet.

Putting aside the fact that others would not believe such a thing, even the current Manchester United players themselves would not believe it. They all showed full confidence in the upcoming game.

Manchester United has been unbeaten in more than 50 games in the Premier League, more than 80 games in all competitions, and more than 90 games unbeaten in warm-up matches. Therefore, even if they face Manchester City, which is second in the Premier League, Manchester United players are still unbeaten. The performance was bursting with confidence.

They believe that with the strength of Manchester United, any enemy who stands in front of them will be crushed to ashes by them!

This makes Bell even more worried. Manchester United once took this game very seriously and even lost 1:6. Judging from the confidence and almost arrogance shown by the players now, God knows what the loss will be like. ?

The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, isn't that the current state of Manchester United?

Bell doesn't know whether he has helped Manchester United achieve unprecedented achievements in the past year or so, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Bell knows that with the current situation of Manchester United, it will be good for the long-term development of Manchester United to suffer a defeat and dampen the arrogance of some players.

However, he also wanted to complete the tasks issued by the system. After all, the rewards he received for completing 50 undefeated tasks had already benefited him a lot. So completing tasks with higher star levels would make the rewards even more exciting.

Moreover, even if it fails, Bell hopes it will be an acceptable defeat, rather than a defeat that will completely dampen the team's confidence and morale.

What was even more annoying was that he had no way of telling anyone such a thing.

This is also the reason why Bell has been so worried these days.

………………

Seeing that Bell was hesitant to speak and extremely entangled, Liu Xianer put a pair of jade hands around Bell's neck, looked at Bell with her beautiful eyes, and said with a knowing smile on her face, "Gareth, if If you really don’t want to say it, don’t say it, and don’t force yourself.”

Bell decided to speak out. Firstly, Liu Xian'er was not a Manchester United player. As the so-called bystander knows, she might have some good opinions. Secondly, talking to her in private would not affect his teammates.

Of course, Bell didn't want to tell Liu Xian'er that he was a time traveler. He knew that Manchester United would definitely suffer a big defeat. He considered his words and said: "Xian'er, it's like this. I I found that something is wrong with the team's atmosphere recently. Everyone is too arrogant and doesn't take anyone seriously. I remember there is an old saying in the East, which is that the arrogant army will be defeated, so I am worried..."

Bell did not continue, but Liu Xian'er also knew what he was thinking and smiled: "Gareth, I think you are thinking too much. They say that victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Isn't it normal to suffer defeat? I You know, Manchester United has not lost for a long time and has created many unbeaten records, which makes you attach great importance to this. But what I want to say is that Manchester United cannot never lose. After all, we in the East still have an old saying called "The World" There is no ever-victorious general. And the more you fear this and that, the more things you worry about will happen."

After a pause, Liu Xian'er said again: "Or, Gareth, are you afraid of failure now? When did you become so fragile?"

Beier Xin said that I am not afraid of failure, I just want to get the reward for completing the system task. Of course, he definitely couldn't say this, so he could only say: "I know we can't stop counting forever. I'm just worried that my teammates will be too arrogant and lose their mentality temporarily after losing suddenly, resulting in a devastating defeat. Becomes uncontrollable.”

Liu Xian'er shook his head and said: "Gareth, I still say the same thing, you worry too much. You have to know that you are now the second captain of Manchester United, and Vidic is injured this season. , you don’t have many chances to play, and you are the captain on the field most of the time. Now that you are vigilant, can’t you still control such things? Or do you have no confidence in yourself? "

………………

Liu Xian'er's words made Bell stunned for a moment. He thought to himself, that's right. Now that he is the core of Manchester United and plays an important role on the court, can't he help the team control the situation?

Bell couldn't help but think about it carefully, and then he discovered that there are too many differences between today's Manchester United and the former Manchester United.

First of all, the team's lineup has changed a lot. His appearance and the joining of Sneijder are things that the previous Manchester United team did not have. Not to mention his role in Manchester United, as far as Sneijder is concerned, it has been almost two months since the Dutchman joined Manchester United. Apart from being a little uncomfortable when he first landed in the Premier League, his performance is getting better and better.

The second is the change in the players' mentality. Before the start of this game, the former Manchester United team was unconvinced because they were overtaken by Manchester City in the standings and were eager to express themselves in the game. However, they failed to score in the fierce attack in the opening stage. The result, on the contrary, was to concede a goal first, resulting in an unbalanced mentality, the situation becoming increasingly out of control, and ultimately a disastrous defeat. And now Manchester United is suppressing Manchester City in the standings. The players are full of confidence. Although they are suspected of being arrogant, why can't they say that they have the confidence to defeat all enemies?

Then there are the changes in the physical condition of Manchester United players. Although the former Manchester United team played at home, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of physical fitness. Because of Manchester United's unfavorable situation in the Champions League at that time, the away game against Galati Steel was a life-and-death battle for Manchester United to qualify for the Champions League. Therefore, Manchester United's entire main force went to Romania. After traveling thousands of miles and playing hard away from home, the team's physical condition was very poor. . Although Manchester City is nominally an away game and has a Champions League match midweek, their Champions League game is at home, which makes them more like the home team than the home team Manchester United. In addition, the lineup is thicker than Manchester United, so they have an overall advantage in terms of physical fitness. As for Manchester United today, Ferguson has rotated almost the entire central axis in midweek, and the situation has almost qualitatively changed.

In addition to these reasons, there were many accidental factors that caused Manchester United's disastrous defeat in that game.

In the opening stage, playing at home, they had an absolute advantage, but the attacking group failed to seize the many opportunities they created, and then allowed their opponents to advance by one, and the situation gradually became unfavorable. But until the end of the first half, they were still trailing 0:1.

However, when the game entered the second half, the situation suddenly got out of control. First, Evans' unexpected red card caused Manchester United to play with one less player for almost the entire second half, and then Ferguson could not accept the defeat. After the team fell behind by two goals, he directed the entire Manchester United team to attack. Although this seems brave, the results are very tragic. After Manchester City scored the third goal, Manchester United completely collapsed. In the last five minutes, the opponent scored three goals in a row. The team suffered the worst defeat in the Premier League era.

After some analysis, Bell gained some confidence and felt relieved.

However, Bell certainly won't think that the situation can be changed because of the sudden changes on the field. Before the game actually starts, no one knows what situation they will face. And before the game is over, no one knows what the outcome will be.

He just won't be as worried as he was a few days ago. That has absolutely no meaning in changing the game. It will only affect his personal performance and even the atmosphere of the team.

Bell hugged Liu Xian'er into his arms, kissed her pretty face, and said, "Xian'er, it's great to have you!"
