Football King Bale

After the European Cup group stage draw was completed, Bale did not stay in Ukraine longer and flew back to the UK the next day.

However, even so, Bell still did not appear in Manchester United's squad for the 14th round of the Premier League's away game against Aston Villa this afternoon. This is the first time Bell has missed Manchester United's league game this season.

Manchester United's game will be played at 5:30 pm local time in the UK. Prior to this, this round of Premier League has ended six games, because midweek is the last round of the Champions League group stage, and the matches of the top teams in the Premier League are basically Schedule for an earlier time. Before the start of Manchester United's game, the games of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham have all ended. Manchester United is the last team to compete among several strong teams. Liverpool will not play until Monday night, but they will not play until Thursday night in the Europa League, and they will still play at home.

The previous top four in the Premier League have all achieved a big victory without exception. Chelsea, who played first, defeated Newcastle 3:0 in an away game, which allowed them to temporarily overtake Tottenham in the Premier League standings with a goal difference advantage. , ranked third in the Premier League. Newcastle, which suffered a three-game losing streak, continued to slide down the standings.

Chelsea's game ended in less than half an hour, and Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City, the three top players in the Premier League, played at the same time. After the 90-minute game, the top three all won big victories. Tottenham defeated Bolton 3-0 at White Hart Lane, handing the opponent their 11th defeat of the season and helping the team win one game less. Back to third in the standings. Bolton, who had lost 11 games in 14 rounds, continued to sink into the relegation zone.

Arsenal and Manchester City, who ended the game at the same time, raised their butcher's knives high. The Gunners slaughtered Wigan 4:0 away from home, allowing their opponents to continue to be their deputy squad leaders. Manchester City slaughtered newly promoted Norwich City 5:1 at home, who had performed well since the start of the season.

After this victory, Manchester City has won all 7 Premier League home games this season, scoring 24 goals and conceding only 4 goals. Including five home games last season, Manchester City has won 12 consecutive home games.

Manchester City has scored in 20 consecutive Premier League games. What’s even more amazing is that they scored 43 goals in total in 14 rounds, averaging 3.31 goals per game, second only to Real Madrid, who scored 46 goals in 13 league rounds, and Manchester United, who scored 45 goals in 13 rounds, ranking third in Europe. three.

But they have conceded goals in 7 consecutive games, and their last record of conceding goals in 7 consecutive Premier League games was set from November to December 2009. That streak of conceding goals also came to an end in Mancini's first game after taking over on Boxing Day 2009.

Continuous conceding of goals also exposed Manchester City's eternal problems. Although Clichy failed to keep an eye on Morrison, the opponent allowed the ball to be easily kicked from the wing. The two central defenders in the front point could not clear the ball in advance, leaving it to the tallest The short Clichy is used to deal with the opponent's most threatening forward, which itself is a bug in the entire system.

Next up will be the Champions League home qualifying battle against Bayern.

Manchester City must first win the Bundesliga hegemony and then act based on Naples's face, but this kind of defense still makes them worried about their prospects of qualifying.

………………

Several strong teams all achieved big wins without exception, which put some pressure on Manchester United, who played later.

Although they have a 7-point lead over second-ranked Manchester City in the standings after 13 rounds, Manchester United's scoring pace has slowed down a lot after the crazy goals in the first few rounds of the season.

At the end of the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United once scored 12 more goals than Manchester City. However, in the subsequent rounds, Manchester City's goals have caught up with Manchester United. After the last round of games, they were only 7 goals ahead of Manchester City. Fortunately, Manchester United's defense was relatively solid, which gave them a goal difference of 37, 12 more than Manchester City.

However, many media have discovered that Manchester United's recent offensive firepower has weakened a lot. Starting from the 7th round of the Premier League, Manchester United only scored 3 goals in the home game against Sunderland, and the remaining 5 games were only scored at most. Scored 2 goals and won 4 games with a score of 2:1 or 1:0.

Although Villa is a veteran and strong team in the Premier League, their performance this season has been mediocre and they are currently ranked 8th in the Premier League. However, after losing Ashley Young and other good players, their offense and defense have had quite a problem.

Facing such an opponent, Manchester United naturally hopes to win a big victory and change the frustration of not being able to score more goals in consecutive rounds.

However, in the absence of Bell, Manchester United's offensive line was lost again at Villa Park. If it were not for Phil Jones's iron tree blossoming, Manchester United would probably have got the first draw of the season.

On this Saturday afternoon with the theme of "bloodbath", Manchester United failed to find a scoring rhythm and became the only top five team that failed to win a big victory.

In this game, although Manchester United's midfield control and offensive scene have improved a lot compared to the previous games, due to Bell's absence and the lack of a decisive person in front of the goal, the number of goals is still poor. Rooney, who was aggressive at the beginning of the season, has recently The goal drought continues, which has also caused Xiaopang, who originally occupied the top scorer list, to be squeezed out of the top three. Among them, there is a gap of 11 goals with Bell, and the assist list is also different. almost.

According to statistics based on regular time, the Manchester United forward has failed to score in the Premier League for 8 and a half games. The last Premier League goal dates back to September 18, when Manchester United defeated Chelsea 5:1 at home.

In the Premier League game against Chelsea, Rooney scored a goal in the 45th minute of the first half, helping Manchester United gain a 3:0 lead. Since then, in the just-concluded game against Aston Villa, Manchester United The striker's goal drought in the Premier League reaches 765 minutes!

Rooney is facing another goal drought, and it is clear that he has once again fallen into the public opinion storm. In the first 5 rounds of the Premier League season, he scored 9 goals, leading the scorer list. Now after 14 rounds of the league, the number of goals scored in the Premier League is still the same. It's 9.

………………

Manchester United's offense is weak. In addition to Rooney's long-term misfire, Ashley Young and Nani are also in a sluggish state. Manchester United's offense can only be supported by Bell alone. It is also related to their recent increasing number of injuries. Very relevant.

Not long after the game started, Hernandez fell to the ground in front of the Aston Villa penalty area during a Manchester United attack, and he fell without anyone watching. Judging from conventional experience, the Mexican teenager must have been seriously injured. , the Manchester United team doctor's emergency treatment for Hernandez also confirmed the fans' judgment.

After the game, coach Ferguson confirmed at the post-match press conference that Hernandez's injury was due to a torn ankle ligament and he would be sidelined for at least a month. This also means that the Mexican forward will not be able to participate in the Christmas Devil schedule.

Ferguson said: "I think his injury is a torn ankle ligament and he will be out for four weeks. At this moment, our team's injuries are serious, but we still have a strong lineup."

According to Manchester United's official website, there are currently 7 injured players in the first team. In addition to the newly injured Hernandez, there are also twin brothers Cleverley, Giggs, Berbatov, Sneijder and Da Silva. .

In terms of performance in 2011, there is no suspense about Bale, Messi and Ronaldo being shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or!

The direct dialogue between Ronaldo and Messi not only focuses on goals, assists, and efficiency, but also includes their personal honors and team achievements.

But from a national team perspective, Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal reach the 2012 European Championship finals and demonstrated his leadership in the second leg of the play-offs; although Messi has done his best for Argentina, the wings of the Pampas Eagle are not yet full. To the point where you can spread your wings and fly high.
