Football King Bale

After entering 2010, Tottenham's first two games were cup games, namely the third round of the FA Cup and the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

Because the opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is the British Championship team Peterborough United, and the situation of Peterborough United in the British Championship is very bad. After 24 rounds, they ranked last in the British Championship, and the relegation situation is very optimistic. .

It is difficult for such an opponent to pose any threat to Tottenham. In addition, the upcoming schedule is relatively tight, especially the first round of the League Cup semi-final will be held three days after the match against Peterborough United. Lao Lei decided In the game against Peterborough United, the team was rotated and the main players were rested.

Therefore, Bell also got the five-day leave allowed by Lao Lei. From December 29, 2009 to January 2, 2010, Bell can freely control the five days.

After the match against West Ham United, Bell felt that news of him and Rosamund Pike would spread throughout the British Isles in the next few days. If he stayed in the country, he might be hiding at home. Constantly harassed by the media.

So, that night, Bell told Rosamund Pike to take advantage of the few days of vacation to travel abroad.

Rosamund Pike knew the reason why Bell made such a suggestion. She was too aware of the power of those British tabloids, which could be said to be pervasive. It just so happened that the two of them had newly confirmed their relationship and went on a trip together, which could be regarded as cultivating their relationship, so they readily agreed.

After discussion, the two chose the island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean Sea for their vacation.

………………

Mallorca is famous for its clear sky and bright sun. Compared with the rainy England, Mallorca has more than 300 sunny days a year. It is known as the paradise of the Mediterranean and the place closest to heaven on earth.

When Bell and Rosamund Pike arrived in Palma, the capital of Mallorca, by plane, it felt like spring had come from winter.

Compared with London, where the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero, the temperature in Mallorca at this time is basically around ten degrees, which is considered very warm.

The two did not tour around Mallorca, but after arriving in Palma, they rented a car directly to the east coast of the island, where there are the most beautiful beaches and scenery on the island.

Before departure, the two had booked a sea view villa online. During the four-day vacation, the two stayed here, basking in the warm sunshine, admiring the beautiful beach, blue sea and blue sky, and enjoying the warm world of two .

Such a leisurely and comfortable life is unimaginable for Bell in another time and space. At that time, he was shrouded in huge life and work pressure, repeating the mechanical schedule day after day, and then surfing the Internet at night. Ball games or novels are his rare leisure ways.

Bell found that he was a little obsessed with this kind of beauty. In order to maintain all this, he will do everything possible.

………………

While Bell and Rosamund Pike were enjoying the sunshine, sandy beaches and beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the sweet world of the two, the major media in the UK were desperately speculating about his news, his relationship with the Bond girl, and Transfer rumors between two Manchester clubs.

Although after receiving the call from Giggs, Bell asked Barnett to make a statement that he would not leave Tottenham this winter, but the real effect was very limited, and there were still various transfer rumors emerging one after another.

During the opening of the transfer window, what else can the media hype if they don't hype transfer rumors?

That is to say, Bell and Rosamund Pike hid in Spain, otherwise they would be unbearable.

Amid all the commotion, at three o'clock in the afternoon on January 2, Tottenham ushered in their first opponent in the FA Cup at home.

Just like Lao Lei's original imagination,

Peterborough United not only has limited strength, but also has a very sluggish will to fight. They were defeated 4:0 by Tottenham, which was almost full of substitutes.

The team's second captain Robbie Keane, who missed many games in the league, finally got a chance to play in this game and scored a penalty kick at the last moment.

However, this goal can hardly conceal the fact that his competitive state is sluggish, and it is also difficult to change the situation where he has lost his place in the current Tottenham team.

Robbie Keane himself is aware of these situations, and he is already asking his agent to act to find him a loan opportunity.

………………

When Tottenham and Peterborough United played at White Hart Lane, Bale also ended his short vacation with Rosamund and left Mallorca by plane to return to London.

Starting tomorrow, he will return to the team to practice with the team, preparing for the first round of the League Cup semi-final at Manchester City Stadium on the evening of the 6th.

The moment Bell walked out of Heathrow International Airport, Bell felt a bone-chilling chill.

This drastic change in temperature made Bell feel more clearly how harsh the British climate is, and at the same time understand why many Spanish players are not used to the British climate.

Not to mention those Spanish players who grew up in Spain. He is a native of England. In this cold winter, he went to Mallorca for a few days, and he missed the warm sunshine of Mallorca.

The next morning, after Bell got up, he felt a little tired, but he didn't care too much. After saying goodbye to Rosamund Pike, he drove to Tottenham's training base.

However, when the training started, Bell felt more and more that something was wrong with him, his mind was groggy, and his body also felt obvious fatigue.

Bell was a little puzzled, could it be that he didn't have a good rest last night? It shouldn't exist. Last night, after spending some time with my girlfriend Rosamund Pike, I went to bed before ten o'clock. And it's not too early to get up this morning, after six o'clock, sleep should be sufficient.

The assistant coach in charge of leading the team's training noticed Bell's abnormality. After asking a few words, he said with certainty: "Gareth, you must be sick, go check it out right away!"

Then, Bell was taken by the staff to the team doctor's room at the training base. After examination, it was concluded that Bell had a cold!

Bell was a little dazed, his health was always good, and he hadn't been frozen in the past few days, so why did he catch a cold?

The team doctor said that the most likely reason for his cold was that the temperature changed sharply after returning from Spain, and his body was not adapting, which led to the cold.

………………

The news that Bell suddenly caught a cold made Lao Lei a little helpless, because it meant that he was almost sure to miss the first leg of the League Cup against Manchester City three days later.

Now that Bell's status in the team is becoming more and more important, his absence is undoubtedly a major blow to Tottenham, and may even affect whether Tottenham can advance to the final.

However, it is not a good way to let Bell go into battle with an illness. How much fighting power does the sick Bell have?

Moreover, it is not a good idea to let Bell drag his sick body to Manchester, which will definitely affect Bell's recovery.

After some mental struggle, Lao Lei still decided to let Bell stay at home for the next few days to recuperate.

However, soon Lao Lei didn’t have to worry about Bell’s illness affecting the semi-finals of the League Cup, because starting from the afternoon of January 4th local time in the UK, the cold wave from the north swept across the British Isles, and the whole of the UK was covered. Under the ice and snow.

After the blizzard, the temperature dropped sharply, and the temperature in the whole of the UK dropped below minus ten degrees, especially in the northwestern part of the UK, where the temperature dropped to about minus twenty degrees in many places.

According to reports, due to transportation difficulties, on the 5th and 6th, 10% of the laborers could not go to work and could only stay at home, and thousands of schools were forced to suspend classes. Forecasters said the cold temperatures could continue for up to a week.

Under such circumstances, the FA temporarily announced that the two matches in the first round of the League Cup semi-finals will be postponed and will be held at another time depending on the situation.

Not only the first round of the two League Cup semi-finals was postponed, most of the games in the 21st round of the Premier League may also have to be postponed.

According to reports, this cold and heavy snow may be the extreme phase of the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation (Arctic Oscillation). The Arctic Oscillation refers to an up and down fluctuation of air pressure intensifying and weakening in semi-permanent areas of low pressure and high pressure in the Arctic and mid-latitude regions. During the winter in Eurasia and North America, one consequence of the negative phase of the oscillation is severe cold and snowfall. The extreme negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation Index in December 2009 was the lowest observed in the past 60 years.
