Football King Bale

May 13, 2012, 3:00 pm GMT.

This is the final day of the 2011-2012 Premier League season. According to the tradition of the Premier League, ten games will start at the same time, even if there are not many things that can be decided in this round of games.

Located at the Stadium of Light on Weir River in northeastern England, the black cats Sunderland sit at home against the Premier League overlord Red Devils Manchester United.

In the first half of this season, Sunderland performed poorly and almost fell into the relegation zone at one point. Then, the then head coach of Sunderland, the former captain of Manchester United, coached Sunderland for nearly three seasons, Steve Bruce, who performed well, became a victim and announced his dismissal on the last day of November. The old coach Martin O'Neill, who has coaching experience in many Premier League teams, took over the coach.

It is said that changing coaches is like changing knives. After the first defeat, Sunderland quickly returned to the right track. After the previous thirty-seven rounds, Sunderland ranked eleventh in the league.

The last round of the game against Manchester United, which won the championship early, coupled with the background of Sunderland's so-called Manchester United team, this game was originally not much to watch, but because of two things, it made this game became the focus of worldwide attention.

Five days ago, the Red Devils Manchester United at home slaughtered Swansea 6-0. Bell staged four goals, raising his single-season league goals to 59 goals, one distance away from former Everton legend Dixie Dixie. En's single-season scoring record for players in the five major leagues created 84 years ago is only one goal behind.

In the middle of the week, the news shocked the world, making Barcelona star Lionel Messi, who also staged a big four last weekend, raising his La Liga record to 50 goals, inadvertently ignored.

Of course, many media have mentioned Messi, but they are all the same material as Bell's background board. Such reports, both Barcelona and Messi would rather be completely forgotten.

It's not just Messi who is depressed. Former Manchester United star and Real Madrid top card Cristiano Ronaldo is also depressed, because he is not only crushed by Bell, but also crushed by Messi. Although he scored a record 48 goals in the first 37 rounds of this season (because Real Madrid was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Ronaldo scored more goals in single-line combat than in another time and space), but compared to playing Bell, who scored 59 goals, is completely incomparable. Even compared to Messi, who scored 50 goals, it is much inferior.

………………

Today, La Liga has ended before the Premier League.

In the last round of the game, Messi failed to score a goal, but with the full help of his teammates, Ronaldo scored twice again, tying Messi's number of league goals, and the two shared the La Liga Golden Boot.

In that game,

Ronaldo also wanted to surpass Messi, but in the end he failed.

In another record, Real Madrid also tied Manchester United. With 32 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, they scored 100 points, becoming the second team in the five major leagues to reach 100 points in a season.

At the same time, they scored 121 goals in a single season, and they also created a La Liga team's single-season league scoring record. This made Barcelona, ​​who scored 114 goals in a single season and also set a record for La Liga in a single season, very depressed.

Today, Manchester United's final game begins, and the world's attention is on this game. Once Bale scores a goal in the game, he will equal Dixie Dean's record. Once he has more than one goal, it will set a new record.

As for Manchester United, once they will break the single-season scoring record of the five major leagues they just created last season. Because they got 33 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, they will get 102 points.

As early as before the game, Sunderland's head coach Martin O'Neill said in an interview with the media that Sunderland will not stay at home, even if this game will not affect Sunderland's league ranking. .

"In the spirit of professionalism and sportsmanship, we will do our best to show our strongest strength at home. This is not only respect for the game, but also respect for our fans, and even more respect for Bale and Manchester United. .”

In this game, Groningen once again played a 442 formation, which is also the most commonly used formation after Martin O'Neill took over Sunderland.

Manchester United did not dare to be careless at all. Head coach Ferguson said before the game that playing three games in just eight days is a huge pressure on the players, but he believes that the team can overcome this pressure very well. , because everyone wants to help Bell realize his dream.

Regarding Bell, Ferguson said that he did not need to mobilize him at all. He said: "I believe that he has made the best preparations!"

In this game, Manchester United also put on a very strong offensive lineup.

The goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Phil Jones, Evans, Ferdinand and Evra, the four midfielders Carrick drags behind, Valencia is on the right, Sneijder is in the middle, Bell is still In the left half position. The double forwards are Welbeck and Berbatov. Rooney got a rest, after all, just six days later, they have to face Chelsea at the Allianz Arena.

In fact, if it weren't for helping Bell break the record, Bell, Sneijder and Carrick would also be rested.

The Stadium of Light, which can accommodate 50,000 people, is also full of seats. The Sunderland club is very friendly to Manchester United, and even allocated a full 8,000 seats to allow Manchester United fans from afar to watch the game.

The attention of the media, the expectations of the fans, the support of the club, all of these are betting on Bell.

For him, this is both motivation and pressure. There is no way he can avoid it, and he can only face it.

………………

At 14:50 local time, ten minutes before the start of the game, the visiting team's locker room at the Stadium of Light was dead silent, and no one spoke.

The players had already changed their jerseys, prepared to play, and then sat quietly, except that occasionally someone would raise their heads and look at Bell, who was wearing the captain's armband on his shoulder.

After returning to the locker room from the pre-match training, Bell has already prepared early. He sat in front of the closet, raised his head, leaned against the closet, and closed his eyes, making it impossible to see his state of mind at this moment.

pressure? There must be, and it is very large. Professional football games are inherently high-pressure operations. Playing football under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans, those with a slightly weaker ability to withstand pressure may not even be able to stand firmly, let alone display their usual strength.

For a leading star like Bell, every game is highly anticipated, and the pressure has already become commonplace, but tonight's game is obviously different from the past, and Bell is the focus of the focus.

Although they can't empathize, the Manchester United players can imagine that the pressure on Bell at this moment will definitely be ten times, or even a hundred times, a thousand times heavier than his usual.

I am afraid that even the upcoming Champions League final, or even last year's Champions League final, did not put such a huge pressure on him.

Can he bear it?

This is a question that no one can give an answer to, only Bell himself can answer it through the game.

………………

The referee rang the bell to enter the locker room, breaking the silence in the locker room.

This is the first bell, and it is to remind the players on both sides that the game will start soon, and those who are not ready should speed up.

The players all picked up their mood one after another, doing the final check and preparation before playing.

Bell also opened his eyes at this time, turned around, found his mobile phone from the luggage bag in the closet, found Liu Xianer's WeChat, and he sent a message directly.

Putting down the phone and closing the cabinet door again, Bell turned around and saw all his teammates watching him silently.

Bell felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he smiled on purpose, trying to dilute the weird atmosphere, and then said to his teammates: "Don't be too nervous, just play as usual, don't be particularly accommodating to me, winning is all about winning. The first one."

Everyone nodded.

Rooney even came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I believe in you, Gareth, work hard, you will definitely score goals!"

Sneijder also added: "I will do my best to support you."

Captain Nemanja Vidic, who did not start, also came over and rubbed Bell's head, and said with a smile: "We all believe that you can do it! We will cheer for you on the bench!"

Berbatov also said: "You are fine!"

Goalkeeper De Gea opened his mouth, and found that his teammates had almost said the words. He couldn't find any new words, and he simply said: "I won't say anything, you can do it boldly!"

...

Teammates, you encouraged me with every word. Bell felt warm in his heart. He looked around all his teammates and said seriously: "Thank you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand.

All the players folded their hands on the backs of Bell and his teammates, and then waved vigorously, shouting in unison: "Come on!"

At this time, the bell rang for the second time urged by the referee.

Time to play!

………………

In the far east, Liu Xian'er sat in the living room early, waiting for the game to start.

He wasn't watching the game alone today. There was a very quiet girl sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was also Liu Xian'er's best friend, and An Yi, a well-known star in the East.

When she received Bell's WeChat, Liu Xian'er was debugging the TV. After reading the WeChat message, she quickly finished the work at hand, sat next to An Yi, and waited for the start of the competition.

The players from Sunderland and Manchester United stood in two rows in the aisle. Liu Xian'er saw Bell at a glance, because today Bell is the captain of Manchester United, standing at the front of the team of Manchester United players, he looks determined, but With dignity, it is obvious that the pressure of this game is also great.

Liu Xian'er looked at Bell on the TV screen, and said silently in her heart: "Honey, come on! You can do it! I believe you can do it!"
