Football King Bale

After defeating Liverpool with two goals, Bell's league goals this season have once again reached 30 goals. This is the fourth consecutive season in which he has scored no less than 30 goals in the league. In the entire history of English top league football, he has scored no less than 30 goals. It is a unique existence.

In the more than 100-year history of England's top league, great strikers such as Jimmy Greaves, Dixie Dean, Alan Shearer and Henry have not been able to accomplish such a great feat. But now, it has been completed by the 23-year-old Bell.

Before Bell, in the history of England's top league, only Alan Shearer had scored more than 30 goals for three consecutive years. In the 1993-1994 season, 1994-1995 season and 1995-1996 season, the top scorer in the history of the Premier League, who was at the peak of his career, scored 31, 34 and 31 goals respectively in these three seasons. He was the top scorer in England's top league. The first player in history to score more than 30 goals in the league for three consecutive seasons.

After the game, the British domestic media and the Internet were once again dominated by Bell's news. This made Manchester City, who defeated Arsenal 2:0 in an away game, completely ignored by the British media. After all, this victory was not only important to Manchester City, but also important to catch up with Manchester United. It doesn't make sense, they are still 15 points behind Manchester United.

………………

A week later, Manchester United struck again. In the 23rd round of the Premier League, they challenged Bell's old club Tottenham away.

Although he went through an unpleasant experience at Chelsea, after coming to Tottenham, Villas-Boas's performance was still eye-catching. After 22 rounds of the league, Tottenham have 11 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses, with 37 points, the same points as North London rivals Arsenal and Toffees Everton, only behind the team with one game less to play on goal difference. Arsenal, ranked fifth in the Premier League. And Tottenham have been in good form recently, losing only one game in the past 10 rounds.

In this game, Parker was allowed to start to fill the position of Sandro who was scrapped for the season due to knee injury surgery. Adebayor left the team to play in the African Cup of Nations. Lennon ushered in his 200th league start in his career. Villas-Boas welcomed This is the 50th Premier League game in which he leads the team; for Manchester United, Ashley Young and Evans are both absent due to injuries, but the other players have no injuries and the team is in good overall condition.

The game started in heavy snow. In fact, before the game started, the referee even had to step on the field to decide whether to proceed with the duel as originally planned.

Before the game started, Villas-Boas and Ferguson shook hands on the sidelines and exchanged greetings. The two were talking and laughing, and seemed to get along well. Then they shook hands and said goodbye.

The head coach of Tottenham praised Manchester United for playing well and Sir Alex Ferguson for his continued strength, saying that this game will be very difficult for Tottenham. Ferguson complimented Villas-Boas as a talented young coach and that Manchester United will face a respectable team in this game.

Both of them were relatively polite and looked sympathetic to each other, but when they turned around, both sides had serious expressions, and both sides were extremely eager to win.

The Champions League knockout rounds will begin in early February. Although Manchester United has opened up a 15-point gap with Manchester City, Ferguson still hopes to further consolidate the points advantage before the start of the Champions League knockout rounds. After all, in the following season, Manchester City will basically be in a single line in the league. In combat, a 15-point advantage is not safe.

And Tottenham also want to win. As long as they can win Manchester United at home, they are likely to overtake North London rival Arsenal and break into the top four.

………………

At the beginning of the first half, Tottenham played more compactly and had the upper hand with a ball possession rate of 58%.

In the 10th minute, Parker's pass from outside the penalty area was blocked by Ferdinand and then shot from 22 meters away and missed. Three minutes later, Phil Jones made a diagonal pass from the right rib to the middle. Van Persie reluctantly headed the ball towards the goal, but Lloris easily won the ball.

In the 14th minute, Lennon's shot from the front of the penalty area caused De Gea to take it away. Defoe's shot from the right side of the penalty area was confiscated by De Gea.

In the 21st minute, Carrick knocked down Dempsey with a shovel from behind and was given a yellow card.

Twenty-five minutes of the game soon passed, and the score on the field was still zero to zero, with neither side scoring a goal.

Although the score is zero to zero, the combined number of shots taken by Manchester United and Tottenham has reached 15 times. Manchester United has eight shots and Tottenham has seven shots. From the data, it can be seen that Both sides showed a strong desire to attack: Ferguson has given the team the order to win. Only in such a tough battle must they do their best to win, and Tottenham are also unwilling to be outdone.

………………

"The game has been played for twenty-eight minutes. In terms of the number of fouls, Manchester United has committed eleven fouls and received one yellow card. Tottenham has committed nine fouls and received one yellow card." Commentator Lineker said, "Although the score It was zero to zero, but from the data we can see the intensity of this game.”

Both sides are hoarding forces in the midfield, both trying to compete for control of the midfield. On the court, people are overwhelmed from time to time, especially on Manchester United's side. Ferguson seriously 'warned' Modric before the game that today's game will be over. , Modric must also do his best to help Kanter defend, so the audience can see that before, people had the impression that he was average in defense. Even Modric, who was weak and afraid of fighting, was desperately involved in defense today. The Croatian international even had Once, he blocked the hole of the gun at the top of the penalty area.

In such a fierce game, both sides fought hard and it seemed that no one was sure of breaking the opponent's goal. At this time, a flash of the player's football talent finally changed the course of the game.

Sneijder suddenly dribbled the ball from the center and Tottenham's midfielder Dembele stepped forward to intercept. Sneijder was about to break through the middle, but he suddenly passed the football and it was Bell who received the ball.

After Bale got the ball, he knocked the football back to Modric. He turned around and ran forward. Modric passed the football with a flick of his ankle.

People thought Modric passed the ball to Bale, who was already running, but they didn't expect Modric to pass it to Rooney on the right.

Lu Xiaopang beautifully stretched his foot to touch the football, and then suddenly started to speed up, beautifully avoiding Tottenham left back Norton's attack. Then after he caught up with the football, he did not cross the ball, but passed between two Under the protection of Tottenham players, he suddenly cut inside and rushed straight into the penalty area!

This change was unexpected by Tottenham's defensive players. Tottenham's head coach Villas-Boas shouted anxiously from the sidelines to direct the team's defense. Tottenham's new goalkeeper Frenchman Lloris was also shouting loudly, instructing his teammates to chase and intercept Rooney.

After Rooney attracted three Tottenham defenders, he did not continue to break through. Instead, he suddenly stopped and made a move to pass the ball to Sneijder, who also made a move to come over.

This immediately attracted the attention of Tottenham's defensive players, and Parker immediately moved his body to block Rooney's passing line.

Almost immediately following Parker's move, Rooney, who originally had no shooting angle, immediately saw a small shooting route. Lu Xiaopang, who was originally planning to pass the ball to Sneijder, made an instant change and saw him pass the football. Dunk it back, and then, suddenly, it was a long shot from the top of the penalty area!

In the penalty area with a forest of legs, Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris had been nervously paying attention to the situation in front of the penalty area, and then he saw a flash of white light.

Is this a long shot? !

Lloris's reaction was not unpleasant. He fought hard to save and really succeeded in hitting the football. However, the shot was very powerful and hit the top corner of the goal. Lloris barely managed to lift the football, and then the ball hit the goal. On the pillar.

Just when Loris was secretly happy for his beautiful save, a red figure flashed in front of him. With a slight push towards the rebounded ball, Loris saw that the football had flown into the net behind him...

In the 25th minute, Van Persie scored with a clever supplementary shot in front of the goal, scoring his 18th league goal of the season, helping Manchester United lead 1:0.

………………

Seeing that his team lost the ball, Tottenham coach Villas-Boas angrily patted the seat.

"Our players were distracted by Bell," the assistant coach said beside him.

Villas-Boas nodded. Bell is Manchester United's number one star and absolute offensive core. There is no doubt about his threat. You can't leave such a threatening player alone and ignore his movements. This instead gives Van Persie a chance to grab the ball in front of the goal. A chance to hit the target.

However, Villas-Boas also had to admit that Manchester United's goal was very beautiful. First, Rooney dribbled the ball from the wing, spiked the ball, cut inside, and shot in one go. The quality of the shot was also very high.

Lloris's performance was already very good. He blocked Rooney's shot, but he had already thrown himself out and could not stop Van Persie's follow-up shot.

The rest of Tottenham's players made mistakes in this defense. They paid too much attention to their former teammate Bell, which resulted in a serious lack of defensive strength around Van Persie.

………………

After Tottenham won the championship in the Bale era, they have been among the top five in the Premier League for several consecutive years and have become more and more like a strong team. Although they fell behind 01 at home, Tottenham's players did not show panic. After the restart, conceding the ball spurred them on and launched an even more fierce attack on Manchester United's goal.

"Tottenham's offensive is too fierce." Mike Phelan said with some worry.

Ferguson didn't speak. He stared at the court. His opponent's performance after losing the ball really surprised him.

Tottenham's offensive efforts were rewarded in the 41st minute of the first half. Their American midfielder Dempsey was pulled to the ground by Modric while dribbling the ball, and he got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Dempsey's free kick flew into the penalty area, and Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea chose to attack. He tried to hit the football out. However, De Gea made a mistake in judging the ball's placement, and he barely managed to catch it. The football, however, did not leave the penalty area, which caused chaos in the Manchester United penalty area. In the chaos, Harry Kane, Tottenham's rising star this season, held Ferdinand and succeeded in a half-turn volley.
