Football King Bale - Chapter 538
The outside world has also mixed reviews of Manchester United.
There is no doubt that Manchester United is the best in the first round of the powerful team. Liverpool and Tottenham lost before them. Arsenal only achieved a draw. Chelsea and Manchester City, who subsequently played, both won, but Chelsea won the weaker Wigan Athletic 2:0. Manchester City faced the promotion of Southampton even more difficult to win.
Blue Moon, who played more than two hours later than Manchester United, was originally dedicated to a beautiful start in the new season, especially when their opponent was a newly promoted horse, but Blue Moon almost turned over in the gutter. Manchester City, which fell behind 1:2 in the game, finally reversed the victory with the goals of Djeko and Nasri. However, the number one striker Aguero was seriously injured in the game and may be absent for a long time.
Manchester City started unfavorably. Argentine star Aguero was injured by his opponent’s knee in just 8 minutes. After walking to the sidelines, he was finally carried out on a stretcher to be inspected. After the game, the Spanish media once revealed that Aguero would be absent for 6 months because of a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee.
However, the attitude of Manchester City coach Mancini and Manchester City officials is to wait and see for two days before making a final conclusion. However, Aguero said to himself: “After the hospital’s diagnosis and preliminary examination, I did not suffer any serious injuries, but my knee was severely hit. My medical staff will be I made an assessment of my injury to determine the approximate time required for my recovery.”
In the face of weak opponents, Aguero’s injury has little effect on the team’s attack power. But the original game without suspense, but because of the defensive problems in the midfield and backcourt, Manchester City won the game is particularly difficult. Although Manchester City scored a single goal in the first half of Manchester City, Southampton made a mistake in the second half of Manchester City’s defense and scored two goals to overtake the score. Fortunately, substitute Aguero’s center Djeko took Yaya Toure’s foot and then shot with a good pass to equalize the score, then Nasri contributed a lore.
Manchester City coach Mancini said of this thrilling game: “I hope this is the last time we played such a game. This ups and downs happened two or three times last season, but the difference today is This is only our first game, and I believe we will enter the state as soon as possible in later games.”

Compared to the struggle of several major competitors, Manchester United won the game by 5:0 at half time, and the performance is undoubtedly the best. However, in the face of such a decided game, Manchester United played a heartbeat in the second half, which caused the heart of the Grand Lord and the three thousand Red Devils fans who came to Liverpool with the team.
It can be said that in the game where the two sides played a good half, Manchester United only won a Bell than Everton. It is precisely because Manchester United have Bell, seized almost every opportunity in the first half, only to have this victory.
If Manchester United’s poor performance in the second half, even if they lost to Everton this time, it is not impossible.
The whole Manchester United, except Bell’s performance is very amazing, the performance of the rest of the people is really not good. This was particularly evident in the second half when Bell was replaced in midfield.
Under Bell’s absence, Manchester United almost completely lost control of the situation, and was even pressed by Everton in the halftime for almost 20 minutes!
If it weren’t for Everton’s players who had poor grasping ability, Manchester United would probably set the most embarrassing record in the history of the Premier League: in the case of a 5-ball lead in the half, the opponent was equalized or reversed by scoring N goals in the second half. !
Therefore, after the game, except for Bell, almost every Manchester United player has received some criticism.
Among them, especially the captain Vidic received the most criticism. As for the two new aids, Modric was regarded as mixed. In the first half, Modric performed well, but in the second half he also followed The team entered sleepwalking. And Van Persie did not pose a sufficient threat to Everton goal when he replaced Bell, and he did not fully reflect his ability to play in the Premier League silver boots last season.
………………
From the beginning of the new season, Manchester United’s schedule is very dense.

Bell is no longer an inexperienced hairy kid. He has already packed it up and has no need to go home.
Although Bell greeted Liu Xian’er when he went out in the morning, after finishing his normal training in the afternoon, Bell gave Liu Xian’er a call.
Called, Bell continued to walk into the training ground for additional training. Until the night came, he returned to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, preparing to go to the hotel.

Let him leave the hotel to practice on his own, which is also a privilege granted to him by the coaching staff, and everyone is already accustomed to this.
Bell turned the ball and set off from the hotel to a small lake not far from the hotel. After three laps along the lake, he ran back to the hotel and entered the hotel gym.

The Solent Gorge in the English Channel is between Teest and Yiqin Bay. Located in the center of the South Bank of the United Kingdom, the harbor is wide and deep, with the Isle of Wight as a barrier.

Manchester United cheered on the scene when they entered the stadium for pre-match training.
Bell is undoubtedly the most popular player in Manchester United and has become the player with the most shouting among Southampton fans. After all, this is a child who went out of his own youth training camp and is the highest achievement player in the history of Southampton, even if he is only 23 years old now!
Bell also thanked the fans of the old club. Although he is no longer the one he used to be, he used to go out from here.
