Football King Bale

As one of the top football stadiums in Europe, Old Trafford deserves its title of Dream Theater. Bell was shocked the moment he stepped on the field.

Even the Emirates Stadium, which he visited a month ago, has a clear gap compared with Old Trafford, let alone Tottenham's home court, White Hart Lane.

Because of Manchester United's excellent record in the past two decades, the attendance rate of Old Trafford has always been ranked among the top in Europe. According to statistics, Old Trafford, which can accommodate up to 76,000 people, has an average attendance of more than 75,000 people per game, and the attendance rate is as high as 99.5%!

In fact, the poor attendance is just to ensure safety, otherwise the place must always be full.

Just like today's game between Manchester United and Tottenham, although it was just a game that Manchester United didn't care much about, Ferguson even made a substitute lineup, making it clear that he was promoted according to the fate, but in the stands at Old Trafford, there were still no vacancies left. Down.

This stadium is definitely one of the few devils' home stadiums in today's football. Under the leadership of Ferguson, it can be called a nightmare for the visiting team. In the 2007-08 season, Manchester United's home record in the Premier League was 17 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the following 2008-09 season, it was 16 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. It was with their strong home record that they completed the league. Three consecutive. As for the European war, it is even more terrifying here. In the 2007-08 season, they maintained a complete victory at home in the Champions League and created a record of 12 consecutive home victories in the Champions League.

Bell is actually no stranger to this stadium, because his first game after transferring to Tottenham was played here, but for Bell today, this is the first time he has entered this dream stadium .

Bell was a little emotional. Once upon a time, he dreamed of being able to watch a game here, but he didn't expect that now it was an opponent player who walked into this stadium.

Bell looked at the stands, and there was a sea of ​​red everywhere. The 3,000 fans of the visiting team hardly even had a bubble in the huge Old Trafford stadium.

………………

After the start of the game, amidst the cheers of more than 72,000 home fans, Manchester United players launched a frenzied press on Tottenham, which had the kick-off right, from the first second. Finally, last year's European Golden Boy winner, Anderson, tackled Palacios in midfield with 52 seconds to go.

At this moment, Anderson showed his strength as a European golden boy. He drove straight in with the ball, broke through the defense of three Tottenham players in a row, kicked off the top of the penalty area, and the ball whizzed through the space and wiped the left side. The wicket was out of the baseline.

Manchester United took the lead, and Anderson gave the visiting Tottenham a blow from the beginning: This is Old Trafford, a place where Tottenham have not won for 20 years!

Yes, at Old Trafford, Tottenham have not tasted the taste of victory for two full decades.

The last time Tottenham beat Manchester United in an away game was in December 1989, when Gary Lineker scored the only goal. After that, they only scored 4 draws and 18 losses in 22 visits.

This is really an embarrassing result, but also a sad story!

However, today, Bell intends to end this embarrassing record!

However, football is a team sport after all. Under the strong siege of Manchester United, Tottenham appeared to be very passive. His desire to counterattack has not been implemented for a long time.

On the contrary, the home team, Manchester United, continued to create threats amid the cheers of more than 70,000 fans.

In the fourth minute of the game, Manchester United got another chance to shoot. Berbatov pulled the ball to the left, and then suddenly crossed the ball into the middle of the penalty area. He hit the goal hard, but missed again.

………………

After topping Manchester United's opening three tricks,

Tottenham finally stabilized their position and got some chances to counterattack.

Tottenham opened the goal, Gomez kicked the ball to Palacios, facing the pressure of Manchester United players, Palacios transferred the ball to the left back Houdon who replaced Aso Hector.

Hootton dribbled the ball down the wing and then played a link in the middle with Lennon coming back to meet him. Lennon had just finished changing lanes with Bale, he received a pass from Hutton, then broke through Gary Neville's defense and made a cross from the bottom.

Compared with the young Lennon, Gary Neville, who was about to turn thirty-five, seemed too old to keep up with Lennon's rhythm.

Bell, who switched to the right, saw Lennon breaking through Neville, and he immediately accelerated and rushed into the penalty area.

Robbie Keane and Defoe, who rushed into the penalty area first, failed to grab the spot, but they also affected the Manchester United defenders. The ball was eventually caught by Bale near the far corner of the penalty area.

Park Ji-sung rushed over to defend Bell. Bell's position was very dangerous, and he couldn't give Bell a chance to hit the goal calmly.

Seeing Park Ji-sung rushing over desperately, Bell was startled, then took the ball a step to the side, and kicked to hit the goal.

However, after such an adjustment, Bell has missed the best time to hit the goal. The defenders in the penalty area of ​​Manchester United are already in place. His strong shot was blocked by Vidic on the line of the small penalty area. .

However, the ball that flew out of the penalty area was once again controlled by Tottenham, and they organized an offensive again.

Robbie Keane was heavily defended by Manchester United players in the penalty area. Seeing no chance, he chose to pull out of the penalty area.

Jenas passed the ball to Robbie Keane, and Robbie Keane passed the ball to the top of the arc in the penalty area. Defoe appeared on the landing point and just passed the ball.

Although Defoe's kick was powerful, he didn't get out of the way at all, and the ball was firmly pressed down by Kucisak.

………………

The two consecutive shots that hit the goal frame boosted Tottenham's morale to a certain extent, and they gradually achieved a balance with Manchester United on the scene.

The two sides came and went, and the fight was very lively.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Manchester United ended Tottenham's attack and then launched a counterattack, but just after passing the halfway line, Berbatov, who was dribbling the ball, was intercepted by Hutton.

Hutton immediately passed the ball to Bale, and then Tottenham turned to counterattack.

This sudden offensive and defensive transition caught Manchester United by surprise, and the formation on the court was a little chaotic for a while.

Bell dribbled the ball forward unceremoniously, and Vidic was worried that Dratt would not be able to guard Bell alone, so he leaned over to help defend.

However, Bell did not choose to make a strong pass from the bottom. After seeing Vidic approaching this way, he suddenly stopped and changed direction, cutting to the vicinity of the penalty area line.

Cutting inside at this position is very dangerous. Manchester United's Gibson and Ji-sung Park hurriedly leaned over here, intending to block Bell's cutting inside.

However, Bell passed the ball again at this time, because as Vidic, Gibson and Park Ji-sung were attracted, Manchester United's central defense appeared a big gap.

Bell's pass was for captain Robbie Keane. Faced with the opportunity to single out another Manchester United central defender, Wes Brown, Robbie Keane obviously lacked confidence and chose to hit the ball back.

Jenas appeared at the top of the arc in the penalty area. He slammed the ball back from Keane with a hard kick.

However, Jenas obviously exerted too much force, and he kicked the ball directly into the sky, almost flying into the third-tier stands.

………………

Manchester United missed several good opportunities in a row, and the retribution came immediately.

In the 16th minute of the game, they tore through Tottenham's defense in a frontal attack and sent the ball into Tottenham's goal.

United patiently maneuvered Tottenham's formation through successive possessions, and then they suddenly shifted the ball to the left, with Anderson kicking the ball into the middle of Jenas' defense.

Gibson quickly moved forward from the midfielder position, received the ball in front of the penalty area, took a step forward and then attacked the goal vigorously. This time Gibson hit the bottom corner, Gomez didn't get off the ground in time, and the ball got into Manchester United's goal before him.

In this stalemate, Tottenham still failed to withstand it in the end, and lost the first step.

……………………

Bell shook his head, he was very helpless, the team still fell behind as expected.

After the re-kick-off, Bell switched positions with Lennon again and returned to the left.

During this period of time, he was on the left side of Manchester United and found that although Delater was lacking in strength, he was young after all, and he did not have an absolute advantage in speed. good breakthrough.

He intends to go back down the left and look for chances from Gary Neville.

Although Neville has rich experience, after all, time is not forgiving, and Bell can crush him in speed.

Bell's idea worked, and he quickly opened the hole from Neville.

In the 21st minute of the game, Bell forced Gary Neville, and after eating him raw with speed, he sent a precise cross from the bottom and accurately found Defoe in the small penalty area.

However, Defoe did not seize this excellent opportunity to equalize the score. Although he got rid of the defense of Vidic and Wes Brown, he was still blocked by Drat who flew over.

Hutton got the ball outside the penalty area, he dribbled into the penalty area again, and then fell in the penalty area under Vidic's defense.

The Tottenham players surrounded the referee to ask for a penalty kick, but Clattenburg remained expressionless, completely ignoring the Tottenham players, and motioned for the game to continue.
