Football King Bale

After Manchester United played the England national derby against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, after returning to Manchester, they flew to Bucharest, the capital of Romania, that afternoon. On the evening of the 18th, the match between Manchester United and Galati Steel will be played at the Romanian National Stadium in Bucharest.

According to the British media, because the home stadium of the Galazi Steel Team did not meet the requirements of UEFA, the team was forced to move to the Romanian National Stadium 150 kilometers away for the UEFA Champions League group stage, which also led to support from the stadium stands. The steel team has dropped sharply, with only 3,000 people coming to support them, and the remaining about 40,000 are local fans in the city of Bucharest and Manchester United fans. This also means that Manchester United is likely to turn to the guest, and the Red Devils fans will become the protagonists in the stands of the stadium.

Usually, there is a routine pre-match press conference before the start of the game, and this time is no exception. Manchester United coach Ferguson attended as scheduled.

Last weekend, Manchester United challenged Liverpool's England derby away. Ferguson sent a strange lineup. Bale, Sneijder, Rooney, Nani, Hernandez and many other attackers sat on the bench. Half of the starting lineup was defensive players. , There is not even a defender on the bench.

Although the conservative lineup against Liverpool is a bit embarrassing, the result is still satisfactory to Manchester United. Bale, who came off the bench, scored twice to help the Red Devils reverse their arch-enemy and get three points beyond the plan.

According to Ferguson, the Premier League giants will hold high the offensive banner in this game, but the reporters are skeptical about Ferguson's words, because Manchester United's head star Bale did not go to Romania with the team, but stayed in Manchester.

It is understood that Bell does not have any injuries, which is widely understood to mean that Ferguson is staying for the Manchester derby at the weekend.

But Ferguson did not admit it. He said that the reason why Bell did not come to Romania was because he had played too many games recently and was feeling unwell, so he stayed in Manchester to recuperate.

Ferguson's statement was half-truth. It is true that since the start of the new season, Bell has indeed played a lot of games. In two months, he played 12 games for the club, and the Welsh national team also did not lose a single game in 4 games. It has almost always been a high-intensity game rhythm of double matches a week. But it would be a lie to say he was unwell. Bell did not enter the squad for the Champions League game against Galati Steel, in fact, it was for the Manchester derby at the weekend.

In fact, Bell is not the only main player staying in Manchester. Ferdinand, Ashley Young and Ryan Giggs also did not go to Romania.

Ferguson said in an interview that Rooney will start in the Champions League. He said: "I think it will be like this. In fact, against Liverpool, he was quite positive, showing his enthusiasm and energy. Because sitting there Watching the game, so he's a little bit disappointed, but it's a good thing, he's like, 'Well, I didn't start here, so on Tuesday, I'm going to be back in the starting lineup."

Ferguson once again mentioned Rooney's national team's three-game suspension in the pre-match press conference. He said: "When the news of the suspension came, it was definitely a blow. He didn't expect it, and neither did we. It was a stupid one. But it didn't cause a serious injury, and when he realized that missing three group games could mean missing all of England's games, it was very painful for Rooney, and it was not easy to qualify for the European Championship finals. Low profile The players will get a light penalty, I don't know, UEFA has a lot of pretty strict things, they have given Wayne Rooney a three-match ban, so I can't say more."

When Manchester United was preparing to play in the ice and snow in Romania, Bell went to Manchester International Airport very low-key to pick up a guest and go home.

The person who came was none other than his current girlfriend Liu Xian'er.

The movie Liu Xian'er took over in the summer has finished filming, and she has a period of vacation. Since her birthday in early August, the two haven't seen each other for more than two months, so Liu Xian'er chose to fly to the UK to meet Bell.

However, Liu Xian'er's stay in the UK is very short, because her vacation is not long, and her other movie will be released next month, and she will go back to the east to cooperate with the producer to carry out promotional activities.

After picking up Liu Xian'er, the game between Manchester United and Galatz Steel had already started, so the two watched the game together in Bell's ultra-luxury villa in the southern suburbs of Manchester.

Manchester United's starting lineup has made a big rotation compared to last weekend when they faced Liverpool. The starting lineup only retained Smalling and Evra. Rooney and Hernandez partnered on the striker lineup, and nearly two injuries were missing. Month's Nemanja Vidic is also back into battle.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United took possession of the ball and actively organized the offense.

It is worth mentioning that the temperature at the scene was only 1 degree Celsius when the tee was kicked off.

Although Manchester United had an astonishing 80% possession rate in the first 25 minutes, they did not create a real threat due to slightly more mistakes in passing and receiving the ball in the midfield.

In the 26th minute, when Manchester United blocked the ball in the penalty area, the ball rebounded and hit Smalling's arm, but the referee Bridge signaled the game with an unintentional handball, which continued to attract boos from the scene.

In the first half of the game, Galati Steel and Manchester United maintained a 0:0 tie and entered the half-time break.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United continued to have possession of the ball, and there were still not many ways to attack. However, the smell of gunpowder on the field was very heavy. In just ten minutes, both sides had players who received yellow cards. Among them, Lapa, Perentia and Neiagu of Galati Steel were given yellow cards. Here, Carrick brought down Antal for a tactical foul and also received a yellow card.

However, Manchester United, which is still stronger, took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.

In the 64th minute, Rooney made a cross from the left corner of the penalty area. Kostin deliberately stretched out his right hand to block the ball. The German referee Bridge whistled a penalty kick and gave Kostin a yellow card. Rooney tricked Grahovac into pushing with his right foot. Rooney, who scored 25 goals in the Champions League, surpassed Scholes to become the English player with the most goals in the history of the Champions League.

After taking the lead, Manchester United suffered an immediate blow. In the 66th minute, Vidic, who will celebrate his 30th birthday this Friday, brought down Giurjiu near the side of the backcourt and was unexpectedly sent off by Bridge with a red card. In the last 20 minutes, Manchester United , had to fight with ten people.

For the referee's penalty, most people are very difficult to understand.

When the German referee Brych directly expelled Vidic with a red card, a Red Devils iron "blurred out" on the message board: "Brych is a bitch!"

BBC reporter Chris Bevan expressed his views in a civilized manner. He said: "This time it was too harsh. Indeed, Vidic's movements were a bit rough, and the feet that shoveled Juerjiu were raised a bit high. From what I've seen, it's a yellow card at best, but referee Bridge waved the red card at the Manchester United captain and Vidic looked completely stunned!"

Also commented in the Eurosport text live broadcast: Such a penalty is unbelievable. This is a direct red card. In fact, no red card should be seen anyway. Such a harsh penalty will only make the referee blow out a red card. bad game.

The BBC even said bluntly: "The frustrated Vidic was kicked off by a picky referee."

However, such a penalty has become an established fact, and Vidic's undisciplined record of getting 5 reds in the last 4 seasons has also been recorded.

Nemanja Vidic is definitely unlucky in the new season!

After playing 52 minutes in the Premier League opening round against West Brom in the new season, he was forced to end due to a calf injury, and he was rested for two months.

Although he represented the national team in the European Cup qualifiers earlier this month, he missed a key penalty and directly led to Serbia's failure to qualify for the European Championship. Vidic therefore had the idea of ​​​​hanging up his boots in the national team.

Unexpectedly, the bad luck did not stay away from Vidic, but continued to torment the Serbian Iron Guard.

Bell, who was watching the live broadcast in Manchester, was also stunned by the referee's operation. If such an action is a direct red card, then three or five people will be sent off directly in every Premier League game.

However, Manchester United, who played with ten players, did not fall into a disadvantage on the field. The strength of Galati Steel still has a big gap with Manchester United.

Not only that, but when the game was coming to an end, Galazi Steel also suffered a blow. First, Perentia, who came off the bench, blocked Hernandez and then received a yellow card, which turned red and was ejected, followed by Rooney in the penalty area The left side was pulled and dragged by Antal and fell into the penalty area. Rooney stood in front of the penalty spot again and continued to choose to push the right corner of the goal and scored twice to seal the victory.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Galati Steel 2-0 in the away game, and ranked first in Group C with 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 points in three rounds.

In another game at the same time, Benfica defeated Basel 2-0 away, chasing Manchester United with 2 wins, 1 loss and 6 points.

In this game, Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic was sent off with a red card, which was a big loss for the Red Devils. However, after the game, Ferguson did not bother the referee too much. A red card that many media believe is too heavy.

After the game, Ferguson helped the referee "explain" the reason for the red card in detail: "He raised his leg and made this movement. According to some referees' understanding, this is the case, especially the referees who are in charge of European competitions. So I can understand, but I still think this is the reason. A red card is too harsh."

When the reporter asked Ferguson whether he would appeal to revoke Vidic's red card, Ferguson, who had just experienced the strict UEFA system when Rooney was suspended for three games, said that he would not seek an appeal even if he was not convinced. "I don't think it's going to happen (the appeal to revoke the red card), I don't think you're going to win these things," he said.
