Football King Bale

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the entire Stade Louis II in Monaco erupted in deafening cheers.

With Bell's two goals in the first half, Manchester United temporarily led Manchester City 2:1.

Despite the temporary lead, Manchester United players did not dare to be careless in the locker room.

The noisy neighbor described by Sir Alex Ferguson has indeed performed at a very high level in the past two seasons. Judging from the first half, their strength is not inferior to Manchester United, and their performance on the court is not far behind.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United still played very actively, taking the initiative to attack, and it was still led by Bell on the left.

In the 52nd minute, Bell ran to the left to catch the ball in the gap. When Manchester City's defensive attention was attracted to the left, he suddenly made a big foot transfer and sent the ball to the right.

Valencia quickly stepped in, stopped the ball with his chest on the sideline, quickly dribbled the ball in, and formed a beautiful one-two with Rooney before crossing to the front of the penalty area.

Sneijder quickly stepped in and volleyed from the top of the arc, once again breaking through Manchester City's goal, 3:1!

Mancini quickly made adjustments, but Manchester City maintained their rhythm and morale and continued to launch successive offensives. Instead, Manchester City was forced to retreat.

Just nine minutes later, Bell took the ball from the left and cut in laterally, and then passed the ball to Sneijder, who passed the ball diagonally to the unguarded left rib of Robin van Persie in the penalty area.

Faced with such a God-given opportunity, General Fan certainly would not miss it easily and directly hit the target with a push shot, 4:1!

With a livid face, Mancini always stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, obviously quite dissatisfied with the situation on the field.

After Manchester United scored the fourth goal, Mancini finally couldn't help but make substitutions, and replaced two players in one go.

Both substitutions quickly had an effect in the game, especially Balotelli, who came on as a substitute, assisted his teammates to score a goal in the 86th minute, successfully rewriting the score to 2:4. But this goal did not help, Manchester City's defeat was determined.

Bell himself was substituted in the 78th minute, with Ryan Giggs replacing him.

In the end, with Bale's brace, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 4:2 and won the first championship trophy of the 2012-2013 season.

After playing in the European Super Cup,

The Manchester United team was temporarily disbanded because the next half month was the national team match day. The international players of each national team in Manchester United will return to their respective national teams to compete in the World Cup qualifiers.

Wales has two World Cup qualifiers to play on this international break, an away game against Latvia on September 7 and a home game against Lithuania on September 11.

The strength of the two Eastern European teams is limited, and Wales is expected to win two consecutive games.

Bell did not report to the Welsh national team immediately because the rest of the Welsh internationals had league games to play on the weekend. The Welsh national team's assembly date is next Monday, so Bell has two days of buffer time.

Bell stayed in Monaco and played with Liu Xianer for two days. Although Monaco is only a small country, its tourism industry is highly developed and there is a lot to see and do.

On Monday, the two went to Nice, which is adjacent to Monaco, and boarded planes to the UK and the East respectively at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport.

Bell is about to report back to the Welsh national team, while Liu Xian'er, after playing in Europe for a month, is going back to the East to prepare for the release of one of her movies. In late September, her second movie of the year will be released.

………………

At 7:30 pm GMT on September 7, Bell ushered in his first World Cup qualifying match after crossing over. As the captain of the national team, he led the team to challenge Latvia, the first opponent in the group stage.

As a small country in Eastern Europe, Latvia's football strength is very weak. In the latest FIFA rankings, Latvia only ranked 94th in the world, nearly 90 places lower than Wales, which ranked seventh.

Stimulated by another match in the same group that ended before the start of this game, Wales went on a killing spree in the away game, slaughtering Latvia 5:1 away from home. Although Bell was heavily targeted, he had enough data on assists and sent a total of 3 assists.

In addition, he also took advantage of a corner kick, rushed into the small penalty area, triggered a decisive blow, and scored a very beautiful header.

The host nation scored a face-saving goal at the end of the game, when Bell left the field and the Welsh players' fighting spirit dropped.

However, despite this, Wales could only rank second in the group after the first round of the group stage, because Bosnia and Herzegovina slaughtered the host 8:1 in the match against the weakest Liechtenstein in this group. Dzeko, who had just held back his anger in the European Super Cup, went on a killing spree and scored a hat-trick. In addition, the other two players in the Bosnian team also performed well. Ibisevic also scored a hat trick, and Misimovic scored the first two goals of the game.

………………

After flying back to the UK from Eastern Europe, Wales immediately welcomed another Eastern European team in the group, Lithuania, which also belongs to the former Soviet republic.

Lithuania has left a deep impression on the world with its basketball. As a traditional basketball team, the Lithuanian basketball team has won the European Basketball Championship three times, participated in the Olympic men's basketball competition four times, and won bronze medals three times.

However, the Lithuanian football team, which belongs to the three major football teams, is not as strong as the basketball team. In the new FIFA rankings, Lithuania is not even as good as Latvia, ranking 116th in the world.

Lithuania is also very aware of its own situation. In front of more than 80,000 Welsh fans at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Lithuania set up a bus for the entire stadium, causing great trouble to Wales, led by Bale. Throughout the first half, Wales failed to break Lithuania's goal.

However, Lithuania's strength is limited after all, and it is impossible to freeze Wales for the whole game. Ten minutes after the start of the second half, it was Bell who triggered the decisive blow in the penalty area, opening the scoring for Wales.

However, this time the goal was not a set kick, but Bell dribbling the ball, forcing his way into the small penalty area, and then triggering a killing blow, breaking the deadlock on the field.

After conceding the goal, Lithuania was completely defeated. In the next almost forty minutes, Lithuania conceded another five goals and was slaughtered by Wales with a score of 6:1.

What made Bell a little depressed was that the Lithuanian players didn't know if they were particularly motivated to defend him, but they made him unable to score any more goals in the next game. In the end, Bell's score sheet was 1 shot and 2 passes.

………………

After the international break, Wales got off to a perfect start with two consecutive victories, scoring a total of 11 goals and conceding only 2 goals, with a goal difference of 9.

However, Wales did not take first place in the group, because Bosnia and Herzegovina still performed very strongly in the second round of the group stage. They slaughtered Latvia 4:1 at home, scoring 12 goals in two games, and finally won with a goal difference of 10 Defeat Wales and take first place in Group G.

As for Slovakia, Wales' biggest rival in people's imagination, their performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the first round, they were tied 1:1 by Lithuania in the away game. In the second round, they only defeated the weak team Liechtenstein 2:0, winning 1 and 1. Ranked third in Group G.

At this time, people unexpectedly discovered that Group G, which was originally considered the weakest, turned out to be the most powerful group. Especially Bosnia and Herzegovina and Wales, the two teams are the only teams to score more than 10 goals after the first two rounds of group matches.

The international players from various countries returned to their clubs after the game, and the Premier League soon ushered in the fourth round of games.

After the first three rounds of the league, there are only two teams in the Premier League with three consecutive wins, namely Manchester United and the Blues Chelsea.

Di Matteo's Blues performed very well in the first three rounds. In the first round, they defeated Wigan Athletic 2:0 away from home. In the second round, they defeated Newcastle Magpies with the same score at home. In the third round, Defeated Reading 4:2, scored 9 points in three rounds, and only ranked second with a goal difference disadvantage, beating Swansea, West Brom and Manchester City, which had 2 wins and 1 draw.

………………

In the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Wigan Athletic at home.

Because he had just traveled thousands of miles and played two national team games, plus he had to play in the Champions League next week, Ferguson once again made a lot of rotations, and many main players, including Bell, were on the bench. seats.

At the start of the first half, Manchester United took the initiative.

In the 2nd minute, Welbeck received a pass from Ashley Young and headed the ball wide of the goal.

In the 4th minute, Welbeck dribbled the ball from the left side of the penalty area and successfully "gained" a penalty kick opportunity when Al Habushi attacked. Although Caldwell and other Wigan players verbally protested to the referee, they were unable to change the penalty.

Since Bell was not present, Hernandez, who started as the center, took the penalty shot with his right foot into the lower right corner of the goal. The ball was kicked with average power and angle, and Alhabushi easily saved the ball with a side dive.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United and Wigan maintained a 0:0 tie heading into the halftime break.

In the 51st minute, Valencia made a pass from the right, Welbeck responded, Carrick was reassigned to the right, Valencia passed the ball in front of the goal again, Al Habushi threw the ball away, and Scholes was on the right edge of the small penalty area. The ginger head, who played for Manchester United for the 700th time, scored his 155th goal with a push shot. Manchester United finally broke the deadlock on the field and took a 1:0 lead.

Subsequently, Valencia easily broke through MacArthur on the right and passed in. Welbeck flew and volleyed the shot and missed.

Wigan's defensive actions, which were lagging behind, increased significantly. In the 56th minute, MacArthur brought down Valencia and received a yellow card, but Caldwell only received a verbal warning for tripping Hernandez, which made Ferguson dissatisfied on the sidelines and complained to the fourth official.
