Football King Bale

Chapter 609 Choice

While Manchester United fans celebrated the team's record-breaking victory of winning the league championship eight games ahead of schedule at the end of March, Manchester United players did not have time to celebrate much.

Especially Bell, on the night when the team returned to Manchester from Sunderland, he held a meeting with the club's main management to discuss how Manchester United should choose in the next games this season. Participating in this negotiation, in addition to Bell, the team's number one star and vice-captain, is also the team captain Vidic. The rest are Manchester United club management.

Although Manchester United has successfully won the League Cup and League Championship, the time that determines the team's success or failure in the season has just begun.

For Manchester United, being able to win the Champions League, or win the Triple Crown for three consecutive years, is the biggest pursuit this season.

This means that the Champions League champion and the FA Cup champion will be the main competition for the rest of the season.

If this is the goal for this season, it means that Manchester United still has 16 games to play this season, including 8 in the Premier League, 5 in the Champions League, and 3 in the FA Cup.

According to the rough schedule, the last game of this season is the Champions League final on May 25, which is only 55 days ago. On average, there will be a game in almost three days, which means that for the rest of the season, Manchester United will play a double match a week.

Under such circumstances, making trade-offs in the game becomes inevitable.

Of course, under the premise that the league has won the championship, the league has naturally become the first to be abandoned. This has become the default result in the minds of Manchester United club management.

However, the players must accept such an arrangement, especially key players such as Bell. Because the league's attendance rate is directly related to their interests.

For example, for Bell, he not only has a lot of appearance bonuses in the league, but also has more goal awards and assist awards. Especially now that Bell has scored 35 goals in the league and provided 18 assists. Every time he scores another goal, he will receive a bonus of 15,000 pounds, and for another assist, he will also earn 5,000 pounds.

What's more, the games that require rotation may not only be in the league, but sometimes in the Champions League and FA Cup games, rotation may also be required.

If you want Bell to accept rotation, you must obtain Bell's consent.

………………

In fact, Bell is also considering such a thing.

In particular, the arrangement of appearances is likely to be related to the completion of system tasks.

At the beginning of the season, many of the ten tasks refreshed by the Ball Saint system have failed. For example, winning the Premier League season undefeated, winning the Champions League undefeated, and winning the Champions League completely are no longer possible.

Some tasks have failed, and of course some tasks have been completed. For example, breaking the league record for consecutive goals scored and breaking the player's natural annual goal record have all been completed.

There are five tasks that have not yet failed and have not been completed, namely breaking the season points record, breaking the league winning streak record, breaking the league season club scoring record, breaking the league single season scoring record and breaking the Champions League single season. Goal record.

Among them, based on Bell's current situation, there is a high hope that he can complete the two items, namely the season points record and the league winning streak record. The completion of the other three items is so difficult for each side that it is almost impossible to complete them.

Under such circumstances, Bell hopes to continue to play in the league, because the two tasks he is most likely to complete are both in the league.

The previous league points record was set by Manchester United last season, with 102 points in a single season. If Bell wants to break this record, it means that Manchester United needs to win at least 16 points in the remaining 8 Premier League games.

The previous league winning streak record was 20 games. Now Manchester United has won 17 consecutive games and Manchester United still needs to win 4 consecutive games. Manchester United's next four league opponents are Manchester City, Stoke City, West Ham United and Villa, two away games and two home games. It is not easy to win consecutive games.

Especially in the next match against Manchester City in the 32nd round, Bell remembers that Manchester United lost. Today's Manchester United, although its strength has been greatly improved, but at the same time, Manchester United has won the championship in advance without him playing. , it is equally difficult to win against your opponent.

………………

In this way, a group of Manchester United's decision-makers sat together and roughly arranged the next games of the season.

In the end, for the benefit of the team, Bell decided to make a concession, that is, to focus on the FA Cup and the Champions League. The league is only a balance. On the premise that it will not affect the Champions League and FA Cup, Ferguson He will be arranged to play in the league.

As a result, Bell was arranged to play by Ferguson when he went to Stamford Bridge to challenge the Blues in the FA Cup quarter-final rematch on April 1.

At the same time, because the first round of the Champions League away game against La Liga dark horse Málaga and the FA Cup game against Chelsea are too short, also only two days apart, Bell will not go to Spain with the team.

In other words, Bell will rest in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals when Manchester United challenges Malaga away.

Then, when Manchester United faces Manchester City at home next weekend, Bell will start. Facing their rivals in the same city, even if they have already won the championship in advance, Manchester United must not lose to their opponents, at least they cannot surrender without a fight.

Of course, if such a game can end with defeating a rival in the same city, it would undoubtedly be a very satisfying thing.

Although he played in the 32nd round of the league against Manchester City, Bell will still play at home in the second leg against Malaga in the next midweek, and Manchester United will go all out to defeat the opponent and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

This idea has been decided, and the next step is to implement it according to the plan.

………………

On the morning of April 1, the entire Manchester United team got on the train to London, preparing to participate in the FA Cup quarter-final rematch at Stamford Bridge.

Although this game is a game that Manchester United must win in their plan, Manchester United still performed a certain degree of rotation and did not play with all the main players.

After all, they will fly to Spain in two days to face the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

In the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United will place the decisive battle at home in the second round, but in this first round, Manchester United cannot lose too badly, otherwise there will be no need to proceed in the second round, at least it will be In a very disadvantageous position.

Therefore, it was impossible for Manchester United to play with a substitute lineup in that game.

The game starts at 12:30 noon local time.

This is the fourth time Manchester United has faced Chelsea this season. They have met Chelsea three times before in the ninth round of the Premier League, the fourth round of the League Cup and the FA Cup.

Chelsea played at home, and while waiting for work, Manchester United played very hard. Although Bell made his debut, under Chelsea's tight defense, it was basically difficult for Bell to get a chance, and he didn't even have a chance to trigger a decisive blow.

When the first half ended, the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0:0.

………………

During the halftime break, the two sides did not make any personnel adjustments and continued to play with the original team.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Chelsea, the home team that took the lead in attacking, knocked on Manchester United's goal. In the 49th minute, Mata passed the Manchester United defense with an exquisite pass from the midfield. Demba Ba extended his right foot to meet the ball while running and scored, 1:0.

This goal broke the deadlock on the field, the atmosphere of the game became more and more intense, and yellow cards were issued continuously.

In the 55th minute, Cleverley knocked down Ramirez and received a yellow card. In the 60th minute, Bertrand stretched his leg to trip Bell and also received a yellow card.

Soon after the game entered the sixty-minute mark, Manchester United finally scored. Manchester United successfully intercepted the ball and sent it to the right again, allowing Valencia to launch the attack.

Manchester United attacked quickly from the right, but Bell did not follow up immediately on the left, but paid attention to the opportunity.

After the ball was handled by Pogba, it was passed to Van Persie. After the Dutch forward got the ball, he got rid of a defensive player and quickly passed it back to the right side of the penalty area and handed it to Welbeck.

Almost at this moment, Bell suddenly rushed into the penalty area quickly and raised his right hand high to ask for the ball.

As soon as Welbeck saw Bell dipping into the penalty area, he immediately chose to cross. Van Persie and Pogba also immediately took away the defensive players to create space for Bell.

At that moment, the Chelsea players had no idea who Manchester United was looking for in the cross from the right, but due to the threat of Robin van Persie and Pogba in the center, it was obviously bigger than Bale who was still on the left, so as soon as they saw The two players moved and immediately rushed forward.

But as a result, the left side of the penalty area was empty.

Bell quickly stepped into the gap and looked up at the ball's fall.

What is unexpected is that whether it was due to excessive physical exertion that the technical movements were out of shape, or Welbeck did not understand Bell's intention, this pass actually had an arc, and it turned a small corner midway. bend. With that, Bell ran away.

Bell was taken aback, but in almost an instant, he calmed down, and a shooting method that he had basically never used before appeared in his mind: the upside-down golden hook!

This is the only way he can think of shooting now.

As soon as he thought of this, Bell quickly turned around, judged the falling direction of the ball through God's perspective, seized the opportunity, and quickly reversed his body as soon as his legs exerted force.

The upside-down golden hook is completely different from ordinary shooting. Especially in mid-air, it relies almost entirely on the strength of the core muscles of the waist and abdomen. After Bell takes off, the power of the legs is quickly transmitted to the core muscles of the waist and abdomen.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and turned over.

When the ball came flying, Bell used his waist and abdomen to quickly transfer the power back to his right leg and kicked it out quickly.
