Chapter 388: Ups and downs
At 8pm GMT on January 31, 2012, after Manchester United ended four consecutive away games, they finally ushered in a home game, sitting in Old Trafford against rival Stoke City in the 23rd round of the Premier League.
Sky City is not a good opponent. After the 22 rounds of the league, they ranked 9th in the Premier League with 29 points with 8 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. It is a typical Premier League backbone.
However, because of the previous consecutive away game, the Manchester United team is more tired, Ferguson still made a lot of rotations for the lineup. The starting lineup is 442, the goalkeeper is the team’s third goalkeeper Ben Amos, the four defenders are Smolin, Ferdinand, Evans and Evra, and the midfielders are Valencia, Carrick and Scole. Anders and Bell, the double forward is partnered by Hernandez and Berbatov.
This is a lackluster game.
In the opening half of the first half, Manchester United used the ball to hold the situation firmly, and Stoke City retreated to form a solid defense. However, the first two real shots were all done by the visiting team. In the 5th minute, Walters took Palacios to pass the penalty area before the arc and missed the shot. Then Jones left the volley in front of the penalty area and still deviated. Target, during which Carrick had a long shot but was directly blocked midway.
In the first 15 minutes, Manchester United's possession rate reached 65%, but failed to complete a decent shot. Bell was a little lost in the muscle jungle of Sky City, showing no madness since the end of the World Club Cup.
In the 20th minute, Carrick shot Palacios out of the bottom line. Immediately, the corner kicks in a chaotic battle, Carrick swings his heel, and Scholes volleys from behind 20 meters and touches Hut, the 150th league starter, and then wipes the right post and will miss.
After that, Manchester United continued to expand the ball control ratio, once reaching 72%, except that Evra fell in the penalty area and was ignored by the referee, whether it was Evra's left wing pass or Valencia's right pass None of them constitute a direct threat.
But even in a game that wasn't too exciting, and Bell's performance was not good, he still completed the score sheet twice, because Manchester United won two penalties in this game.
In the 37th minute, Scholes made a good pass in the penalty area. When Bell took the ball, Pennant was tackled from the side and back. The referee Mike Jones sent a whistle to take a penalty. Wilkinson was dissatisfied with the protest and was awarded a yellow card. Bell Fucked down Sorensen's right foot and hit the bottom left corner of the goal to break the deadlock, the score on the field became 1:0!
In the 52nd minute, Valencia went into the penalty area along the right road, Walters returned to the defense and there was a push and pull action in the back of the hand. The referee Mike Jones whistled again and awarded a penalty kick. Bell came to the spot for the second time. Before the spot, the right foot pushed the bottom right corner of the goal, and the ball rolled over the net from Sorensen who made a side flapping action in the direction. Manchester United led 2:0.
And Bell, who scored twice, has scored 40 goals in the league this season!
After that, Evra fell after being violated in the penalty area of Stoke City, and the referee Jones did not whistle for a penalty. At the last moment, Beba took a 7-meter pass from Valencia's right pass and will miss.
………………
In the end, Manchester United scored twice with Bell's penalty and took a 3-pointer over Stoke City 2-0 at home. After 23 rounds, with an astonishing 22 wins and 1 loss, scoring 86 goals and missing 14 goals, 72 goal difference, a total of 66 points, a strong lead in the Premier League standings.
And Manchester City, who whistled at the same time as Manchester United, suffered a defeat at Goodison Park Stadium. Ferguson's Scottish fellow and friend Moyes led the team to help the Lord and Manchester United.
In this way, after 23 rounds of the league, Manchester United's advantage in the standings has expanded to 15 points, and Manchester City has almost been eliminated from the championship!
In this game, Bell’s Oriental girlfriend appeared on the stand, and the podium watched the game with Manchester United’s management.
This is a special signal, because before that, including Liu Xian'er and Bell's ex-girlfriend Rosamund Pike came to watch at Old Trafford Stadium, they watched the ball in a separate box, but never With the management of Manchester United.
At this time, the East is during the New Year. Liu Xian'er flew to the UK at this time, not only because Bell told her that she missed her in the game on the first day of the New Year's Day. There was another thing she came to the UK. That is to attend the awarding ceremony of the 2012 Lawrence World Sports Awards on the evening of February 6, British local time with Bell.
Bell has been notified that he will receive the 2012 Best Male Athlete Award.
Since it is necessary to take the award, it is natural to bring a girlfriend, after all, this is a more influential ceremony than the FIFA Golden Globe Awards. In the World Sports Conference, this is a real scorpion cake-only one!
In fact, Bell was very surprised to receive this award. Because in his memory, this year's best male athlete award was awarded to Djokovic.
………………
Six days later, at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Manchester United ushered in the second season of this season's red and blue battle.
Bell didn't start in this game, he didn't even make it to the roster, he got the chance to take a break.
This is his second break in the Premier League this season.
In the last game, Ferguson has found that Bell was slightly tired in the game. In the muscular jungle of Sky City, he is not excited. Except that the opponents are some strong guys, they are not in the best condition with Bell itself. Very much.
Plus Bell will be present at the Lawrence World Sports Awards tomorrow, so Ferguson simply let Bell take a break.
Manchester United's advantage in the league today is large enough, and a small problem in a game will not have any impact, not to mention, with Manchester United's lineup, even without Bell, Chelsea may not be able to win Manchester United at home.
Ferguson has enough confidence in his team!
But when the game started, Ferguson regretted it because he found that he was overconfident, or that this Manchester United, except Bell, no one deserves his absolute trust.
The first half of the game was fairly normal. The two sides fought fiercely. As a result, Manchester United fell behind 0:1 because of an own goal.
In the 36th minute, Sturridge broke through the right side of the penalty area and flicked Evra to get a small angle at the bottom line. De Gea blocked his right foot. The ball hit the ball in the left arm of Evans. Own goal!
If Manchester United was unlucky to fall behind in the first half, then in the first five minutes of the second half, Manchester United's performance was a disaster, and the whole team was sleepwalking.
In the second half of the opening day, only 24 seconds, Chelsea expanded its lead. In the 46th minute, Torres received Ivanovic's pass and the right wing passed. Mata left the corner of the penalty area without adjusting the left foot and volleyed the middle corner of the road to rewrite the score to 2:0.
In the 47th minute, Torres grabbed a header and scored a goal. After 1 minute, Meirelles shot from 25 meters away. In the 49th minute, Evra tipped Sturridge and received a yellow card.
In the 50th minute, Mata's free kick on the right drove to the middle, and Louis jumped his head at 7 meters and flew into the Manchester United goal after Ferdinand's shoulder.
………………
Three goals fell behind in 50 minutes, which makes people hard to believe that this is still the strong team that has fought off God and killed Buddha in the past year.
The home team fans seem to see the repetition of the first round at Old Trafford Stadium repeating, but the roles are reversed, just like the home and away exchanges.
Perhaps Chelsea can also kill Manchester United with 5 goals at home?
Bell, who watched the ball with Liu Xian'er in the VIP box, did not have much surprise with the scene before him, because he remembered that this scene had happened.
And he remembered that if the first 50 minutes were Chelsea's performance time, then the next 40 minutes would be Manchester United's performance time.
The poor performance of the Manchester United players on the court made the Grand Lord look pale, and then in the 52nd minute of the game, he made the first staff adjustment in the field: replaced with striker Hernandez. Ashley Young in Sleepwalking!
Substitution is like a knife change, and Manchester United's situation on the court changed immediately.
Perhaps this is the players who experienced the anger of the old man from Ferguson's substitutions. This time he returned Ashley Young, so next time I don't know who it is.
Even, someone will be in the cold house in the next game this season?
The Manchester United team seemed to wake up suddenly.
In the 57th minute, Giggs scored the ball to the left, Evra inserted the ball into the penalty area, Sturridge knocked Evra behind, the referee Webber whistled for a penalty, and Rooney tricked Cech into a shot. At the top left corner of the goal, a point was pulled back~lightnovelpub.net~ In the 68th minute, Hernandez crossed, Ivanovic kicked to Welbeck, Weber whistled again to give a penalty, Rooney continued to play Also tricked Cech into pushing the goal with his right foot and scored twice in the left corner. Manchester United's last four league goals have all been penalty kicks.
In the 84th minute, Valencia and Welbeck made a pass from the right. Rooney's middle shot was blocked by Cech. Giggs scored the ball and passed again. Hernandez jumped the edge of the penalty area to attack the goal. Although Cech touched the ball, the ball still entered the net. The Manchester United team, which was once 0:3, tied the score!
In the end, Chelsea at home and Manchester United 3: 3 battle and handshake peace, Manchester United also experienced the first draw in the league this season!
Ferguson's Manchester United scored 1 point at Stamford Bridge, and Lord Jue had mixed feelings after the game. On the one hand, he is pleased that the team does not give up under the premise of 3 goals behind. In addition, he believes that the team performs better in the game, and it is particularly a pity to lose 2 points. After all, another game played earlier in the same city Rival rival Manchester City won another West London team, farmer Fulham, at 3:0 Etihad Stadium.
