Football King Bale

A lightning goal was lost at the beginning, then three goals were scored to complete the reversal, and then an own goal was scored. In the first Premier League game at Old Trafford in the new season, Manchester United went through many twists and turns and finally defeated Fulham with a score of 3:2 to win their first home win of the new season. Ferguson admitted after the game that he saw the team "two sides".

The outstanding statistics of Bell, the team's number one star, with 6 goals and 3 assists in three league games are a heroic drama. However, conceding 5 goals in three league games and the poor defense are a great tragedy. They were the root cause of the Red Devils once pushing themselves to the edge.

Ferdinand returned to the starting lineup immediately, which also proved that Ferguson was dissatisfied with the performance of Manchester United's defense in the first round. Official data from Manchester United shows that Vidic and Ferdinand, the former golden partner, had kept clean sheets in 14 consecutive games from November 2008 to February 2009. However, today's golden partner is already a thing of the past. Ferdinand's The comeback did not improve the predicament of Manchester United's defense. They conceded two goals in two consecutive games, which is the best illustration of the poor state of these two former defensive heroes.

Not only is the central defender's position facing a huge crisis, the defense on both sides is also not optimistic. In the second round against Southampton, Southampton scored its first goal in the 16th minute. Evra failed to prevent the opponent's cross, and Rafael also scored under Lambert's high-altitude bombing. He looked so fragile, being pinned down by his opponent and unable to move. The Brazilian's inherent physical disadvantage made him always the target of opponents' high balls. In the second half, the Brazilian also had two poor performances in the penalty area.

The bigger embarrassment lies with Evra. It has long been a consensus that the Frenchman's defensive ability has declined greatly. In the 58th minute, when the French were defending Peng Cheang in the penalty area, they were thrown into a panic by the latter. Fortunately, goalkeeper Lindegaard reacted quickly and saved Peng Cheang's shot towards the near corner.

"Manchester Evening News" believed that Evra was "naive and like a rookie" in the duel with Puncheon. The Danish goalkeeper was angry that his teammates were confused by his opponent, and roared at Evra. The third master was treated so disrespectfully by his junior but had nothing to say. Who made him unable to guard against his opponent?

Previously, Evra also failed to follow Schneiderlin. As a result, he retreated all the way into the penalty area. He found that his opponent accurately passed the diagonal pass and tried to grab it, but he slipped and fell and gave his opponent a goal in vain. Sky Sports simply gave Evra a goal. La scored the lowest score of 5 points. "His mistake caused Manchester United to concede the second goal."

In his first appearance at Old Trafford in the new season, Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased that the team was able to react immediately after the team conceded an early goal and scored three goals into the half-time break. However, the overall performance declined in the second half, especially in the second half. After Vidic's own goal narrowed the gap between the two sides to one goal, if De Gea hadn't blocked Ruiz's threatening shot in the final stage, Manchester United might have lost two points at home.

"I think we all saw the duality of Manchester United. After continuing to control the game, we made a terrible mistake in conceding the second goal, which probably ended the game in a draw. It should not have been played like this. , we played really well for a while, but when we relaxed a little bit we conceded the second goal.

Fulham tried to slow down the tempo of the game and it was very good of them to do that because they had several players over 30 years old and they were a very experienced team and after they scored the second goal we It's really hard. "
