Football King Bale

On January 9, 2010, the whole of England was covered by thick ice and snow. The 21st round of the Premier League, which was supposed to start in these two days, was forced to postpone most of the games. Only four games started as scheduled. They are Arsenal against Everton at home, Birmingham against Manchester United at home, Manchester City against Blackburn at home, and Liverpool against Tottenham at home.

Originally, the situation at Anfield Stadium was not suitable for the game, but Liverpool rejected Tottenham’s request to postpone the game. Tottenham also ushered in a wave of intensive competitions after the New Year, especially the two League Cup and a half games. In the finals, I didn't stick to it.

Because Liverpool Airport was covered by ice and snow and stopped running, and the highway was also closed, the Tottenham team could only go by train.

Bell's cold has not healed and his body has not recovered, so Lao Lei did not take him to Liverpool.

The game started in the snowstorm made Tottenham players a little bit overwhelmed. They were very suppressed by Liverpool in the away game. Especially on the left, it has become a channel for Liverpool to break through. This is because Bell, the left midfielder and left back, is on sick leave, and the original main left back Aso Hector left the team to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations. Still lacking a lot of experience, the left flank guarded by him and Kranjica couldn't stop the impact of Liverpool's midfield. In the end, Liverpool took advantage of the gap opened twice on the left of Tottenham to score two goals.

In the 6th minute of the game, Aquilani used his experience to pass the ball into the restricted area after deceiving Danny Rose on the left. He played the ball very smartly, kicking a backhand from Gomez, who responded but was powerless to stop the ball from entering the net.

Another goal happened at the end of the game. In the 2nd minute of extra time, Liverpool made a breakthrough on the left again. Ngog received the ball in the penalty area and was tackled to the ground by Bassoon. The referee Weber decisively awarded a penalty ball.

This foul seems to be a mistake made by the central defender Bassoon, but in fact Bassoon took the blame for the young Danny Rose.

In the end, relying on a goal at the beginning of the game and a penalty kick at the last minute, the Red Army defeated Tottenham 2:0, which also ended Tottenham's 9-match unbeaten round.

The good news is that because of Chelsea's postponement of this round of the game, coupled with the fact that Arsenal and Manchester United were tied by their opponents, Tottenham's lead in the standings can still be maintained for the time being.

However, this lead is fragile, because as long as Chelsea win the supplementary match, Tottenham have little advantage.

………………

A week later, the ice and snow that had frozen almost the whole of the UK finally melted, and the Premier League resumed in full swing, and Bell finally recovered from his cold, and returned to the team to start training with the team.

However, in the home game against Hull City in the 22nd round of the Premier League when the whistle blew at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Lao Lei did not let Bell start for the sake of insurance, but sat on the bench temporarily.

In Lao Lei's view, Hull City is just a team in the relegation zone, and its attack power is weak. They have played 20 Premier League games and scored only 20 goals in total, just one goal per game. Ranked fourth from bottom in the Premier League.

At the same time, their defense is also very bad, conceding 42 goals in 20 games, only slightly better than Wigan Athletic, which conceded 45 goals, but conceding more than two goals per game. These two teams are also the only teams in the Premier League to concede more than two goals per game.

Against such a weak team, even if Bell does not play, Tottenham can easily win.

According to Lao Lei's plan, Bell will come off the bench in the second half and play for about half an hour to recover the feeling of the game, and then appear in the League Cup semi-final against Manchester City in the middle of the week to try to win the game.

Lao Lei's formation today is 433,

The goalkeeper is still Gomez. Among the back four, although Danny Rose did not perform well in the last game, Lao Lei still gave him a chance to start. The other three are Dawson, Bassoon and Joel Luka.

Among the three midfielders, Palacios and Huddlestone were delayed, and Modric was the attacking midfielder; among the three forwards, Crouch was in the middle, and captain Robbie Keane and Defoe were separated on the left and right.

However, when the game started, Defoe was a little behind, playing a role similar to a shadow striker.

………………

Because of the loss in the last round, and the current opponent is the weak Tiger City, Lao Lei is bound to win this game. After the opening of the game, Tottenham launched a tidal attack on Hull City, almost pressing Hull City in half-court friction.

However, things are so evil. Hull City's defense line, which was originally similar to a colander, has a supernatural performance today.

Throughout the first half, although Hull City's defense looked precarious and seemed to be in danger of collapsing in Tottenham's offensive frenzy at any time, they persisted in the end.

Of course, this has more to do with the superb performance of their Welsh goalkeeper Boas Myhill. Throughout the first half, Tottenham had a total of 14 shots, of which 6 hit the goal frame, except for two shots. In addition to being cleared in front of the central defender of Hull City, the other four times were blocked by Myhill, and they were rejected one by one.

After entering the second half, Hull City's defense became more active, and almost all the midfielders returned to the penalty area to help defend, which made their original 451 formation directly changed to 1000. Phil Brown is determined to use his defense to take a point from White Hart Lane.

For a relegation team like Hull City, any point has a major effect on their relegation career, let alone Tottenham is still the league leader. Being able to take a point from their home court is definitely something that can greatly boost the morale of Hull City.

When the game lasted for nearly 60 minutes, Tottenham still failed to open the situation, which made Lao Lei unable to sit still. He asked Bell to get up to warm up, and then in the 62nd minute, Bell replaced captain Robbie Keane, who had an extremely sluggish performance in the game and none of his 5 shots hit the target.

………………

After Bell came on the field, he was very active on the left. He has not played a game for more than half a month, and now he is coming off the bench again, and he is very physically fit. Of course, this is also related to the use of Giggs' experience card after Bell's debut.

In the last game of the year, Bell scored the first hat-trick of his career on West Ham United, leading the team to a 5-0 victory over the Hammers. He got 4 chances to draw.

However, in these 4 lottery draws, Bell did not get Ronaldo's experience card and could not exchange for a three-star experience card, but he got another Giggs experience card, and the other three experience cards were Pires , Joe Cole and Lu Xiaopang.

Bell is very clear that Lao Lei sent him to the field to help the team break the deadlock. He also analyzed the situation of Tottenham's personnel on the field today and found that they lacked assault power. He himself was sitting on the bench, and another Lennon, who was good at breakthroughs, was not even included in the squad because of an accidental injury during training.

There are not many ways to break the iron barrel formation of Hull City. One is to use more long-range shots, the other is to use set kicks, and the third is to use sharp breakthroughs.

There is no shortage of long-range shooters on Tottenham. Modric and Huddlestone both have good long-range shots. In the previous games, Tottenham did not miss long-range shots. Effect.

Bell decided to use another way to open the breakthrough, that is breakthrough. If Hull City's defense can be torn apart, then it is likely to result in a goal. Even if you can't tear the defense line, cause Hull City players to foul, and get a good set ball, that is still very good.

Therefore, Bell used the experience card of Giggs, who is the best at breakthrough among all the experience cards in his hand, and also used the experience cards of Lampard and Joe Cole to exchange for a two-star Giggs experience card.

………………

However, after Bell started the game, he found that even after using Giggs for ten minutes, with Giggs' agility of 91, ball control of 94 and speed of 94 at his peak, he could face the whole world. Hull City, whose players were huddled in the penalty area, could not form an effective breakthrough.

Bell was really helpless, he really felt the feeling of a tiger wanting a hedgehog.

In Hull City's big penalty area, there are eleven Hull City players and four or five Tottenham offensive players. There are more than fifteen people on both sides. Although they are not crowded, there is not much room for Bale. to break through.

Especially when the Hull City players found that Bell was holding the ball, three or four people often surrounded him, giving Bell no room to accelerate at all.

With such a dense defense, Hull City will not even cause too many fouls to prevent Bell's breakthrough. In the half an hour after Bell came on the field, the most common scene on the court was Bell dribbling the ball, either he had no choice but to pass back, or he hit the muscle jungle of Hull City.

Of course, Bale still created some chances and got two or three well-placed free kicks.

But for free kicks, even the top free kick masters like Beckham and Juninho Jr. don’t dare to say how sure they are, let alone the level of free kicks is not too outstanding Giggs, and Bale himself too.

In the end, when the referee Atkins blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score remained at 0:0.

In another match that kicked off at the same time as Tottenham, Chelsea beat the Black Cats Sunderland 7-2 at Stamford Bridge, Anelka and Lampard scored twice, Malouda, Ash Leigh Cole and Ballack scored a goal each. After the victory, Chelsea's points reached 48 points, only 2 points behind Tottenham.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United also beat the visiting Burnley with a score of 3:0. After the victory, the Red Devils also narrowed the point difference with Tottenham to 3 points.
