Football King Bale

The Intercontinental Hotel Madrid in the center of Madrid on April 4, 2012.

This is Manchester United's hotel in Madrid. As a top five-star hotel, it is less than 2 kilometers away from the Bernabeu, and only about 5 kilometers away from the Atletico Madrid training venue that Manchester United borrowed this time.

In order to better prepare for the second round of the UEFA Champions League knockout round with Real Madrid, Manchester United did not hesitate to choose the best five-star hotel in Madrid.

As long as the team can play the game well, the income will far exceed the cost of the team staying in the hotel. Anyway, because of the intensive schedule, Manchester United's trip to Madrid this time is only three nights.

It has been two and a half years since he traveled to this time and space, and Bell has already gotten used to the life of away games. Sometimes in a week, sometimes in two weeks, he has to play an away game, and even in extreme cases, he even has the experience of shuttling back and forth in three cities for a week.

Falling asleep and waking up in a strange hotel and in a strange environment is no longer a difficult problem for Bell.

If the game is at noon, he will wake up in the morning and do some warm-up and stretching exercises; if it is in the afternoon, his training volume will increase; if it is in the evening, he will be the same as usual. This is a habit he has developed in the past two and a half years.

As long as you have a good sleep at noon, you will be full of energy when you wake up in the afternoon, and you will be full of energy at night.

The game against Real Madrid is in the evening, with kick-off on time at GMT. Because Madrid adopts the time of the Eastern District 1, the game starts at 8:45 pm.

………………

Bell still goes to the hotel's gym for training, and his personal health consultant Kate Meffin will accompany him throughout.

The yoga instructor he hired through Barnett's relationship after time travel has been with Bell for more than two years. She is no longer just Bell's yoga instructor, but his personal health consultant, who is fully responsible for Bell's personal training, which has a lot to do with her being more than just a yoga instructor.

After traveling to this time and space, Bell spent more time with this beautiful coach who was exactly one round older than him, and they met at least three times a day, morning, noon and night.

For Bell's training, the Manchester United club even prepared an office for her at the Carrington base. This is one of the special treatments Manchester United gave Bell, the team's top star.

"When will you marry yourself like this, Kate." Bell always joked with her like this.

At first, the beauty coach was a little shy and angry about such topics, but after a long time, she got used to it, always scolding him severely, criticizing his actions critically, and even secretly giving him Put some weight on the barbell and let him suffer a little.

However, during the two and a half years of training with Kate Meffin, Bell has not only greatly improved his body flexibility, but his physical fitness has indeed improved by leaps and bounds. He is 1.85 meters tall and his weight is always controlled at around 80 kilograms. All the statistics are very standard and meet the requirements of professional players. His body is very well-proportioned and good-looking, but his physical confrontation on the court is not weak at all.

Now even for tough men like Phil Jones and Vidic, it is not easy to squeeze him out on the court.

Yoga and swimming are Kate Meffin's special training methods for Bell to shape a good body shape. He has about an hour of yoga training and swimming almost every day.

Rain or shine, never stop.

In the eyes of Bell's Manchester United teammates, his life seems very boring, always repeating, very mechanical and boring, but Bell feels that he is living a very fulfilling life.

From his previous life, Bell was a person who could endure loneliness. If it weren't for this quality, it would be impossible for him to be admitted to the top five prestigious schools in China under his conditions.

At the beginning, he relied on this kind of hard work to maintain the level of English, which he was not good at, at around 130 points.

………………

Perhaps it was because he had more contacts, but the person he could talk to the most after time travel was this personal health consultant. Most of the daily training is two people alone, and they will talk about many topics.

During Bell's training, Kate Meffin said: "Gareth, you look pretty good today."

The quality of the state can be generally seen from the gym training in the morning. Sometimes, she will also adjust Bell's training content for the whole day according to the training situation in the morning, so that he can face the game with the best mental outlook. But today it was clearly not necessary because Bale looked hyper.

"Today will be a war, a war that does not allow failure!" Bell said.

Kate Meffin nodded, indeed. After two and a half years of getting along with Bell day and night, although the two of them did not collide with sparks between the opposite sex, they are very familiar with each other. She knew very well that the gentle, even shy boy in front of her was actually the most stubborn and strongest person.

People only saw his dazzling performance that blinded the world, but few people paid attention to his hard work for these.

The whole world is reporting that today's game is a war between him and Ronaldo, the former Mr. Golden Globe. Although he didn't respond in front of the world, she felt it. He cares about this statement very much and is ready to fight. It's like facing a big enemy.

Kate Meffin asked again: "It is said that Real Madrid will do anything to sign you. Is it true?"

Bell nodded and said, "For a powerful man like me, isn't it normal for them to want me?"

Kate Meffin was a little speechless, this guy really doesn't know modesty at all!

However, he can fully suppress the two former Golden Globe players, Messi and Ronaldo, and become the strongest football player in the world. He also has enough proud capital.

She looked at Bell and asked again: "You won't come to Spain?"

Bell blinked and said with a smile, "Guess?"

………………

In the evening, the lights come on.

The Avenue of Castilla leading to the Bernabeu is full of Real Madrid fans wearing white jerseys, singing and dancing towards the direction of the Bernabeu, everyone's face is full of anticipation.

Although Real Madrid lost to Manchester United in the first leg away, and the situation was not good in the two knockout rounds, they are still full of expectations, hoping that their team can play a victory at the Bernabéu Stadium, which will bring them unexpected surprises surprise.

Although they don't like the Portuguese's conservatism, they know that Real Madrid, which has fallen into a trough over the years and has been completely suppressed by those splitters, needs that conservative Portuguese. After all, Real Madrid's desperate suppression of their rivals in La Liga this season is the best result.

They like to see the team they support play gorgeously on the court, but they care more about winning and the championship than the reality of being humiliated by the archenemy 0:5!

If you can win and win the championship, even if you play ugly and embarrassed on the court, it is not unacceptable.

As for tonight's opponent Manchester United, Real Madrid's irons still have some confidence, especially in the case of the game being played at the Bernabéu.

The two sides have played 9 games in the history of the Champions League. Real Madrid's results are 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. Generally speaking, they are evenly divided.

In the 1956-1957 season 55 years ago, that is, the second year after the birth of the Champions League, the two teams met on the court. In the semi-finals of the two rounds, Real Madrid won 3:1 at home and tied their opponents 2:2 away, successfully advanced to the final, and finally successfully defended their title.

Eleven years later, in the 1967-1968 season, the two teams met again in the Champions League. It was also the semi-final of the Champions League. As a result, Real Madrid was tied by the Red Devils 3:3 at home, lost 0:1 away, and was eliminated 3:4 in the two rounds. Manchester United also defeated their opponents in the subsequent final and reached the top of Europe. .

The two sides met again in the 1999-2000 season at the turn of the century. In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League that season, the two sides drew 0:0 at the Bernabeu. After switching to Old Trafford, Real Madrid beat the Red Devils 3:2, and finally defeated the Bats 3:0 in the final , won the eighth Champions League trophy in team history.

Then, it was the 9-year 2002-2003 season. It is still the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The two sides fought 3:1 at the Bernabeu in the first leg. The second leg at Old Trafford is the most classic game in the history of the Champions League. Ham scored twice and reversed Real Madrid 4:3 to win the game, but was eliminated 5:6 in two rounds. When the alien Ronaldo, who performed a hat-trick at Old Trafford, was replaced in the 67th minute, the home team's more than 60,000 fans stood up and applauded him, which became a classic scene in the history of the Champions League.

However, this season's Real Madrid did not have the good luck of winning the previous two. They were not able to defend the Champions League and won the coveted tenth championship trophy in team history.

In the subsequent semi-finals, although they beat the old lady Juventus 2:1 at home, they lost 1:3 in the away game.

With the defeat at the Alps Stadium this time, Real Madrid fell into a trough in the Champions League. They stopped the first round of the Champions League knockout round for many consecutive seasons and became the laughing stock of the Champions League. .

In general, in the history of the four seasons between the two sides in the Champions League, Real Madrid won three times, which can also be said to be the sufferer of Manchester United.

Therefore, even though Real Madrid was reversed by Manchester United 3:2 in the first round, their fans still have great confidence in the team's victory over Manchester United in the second round and the reversal.
