Football King Bale - Chapter 687
After Manchester United’s 3:2 away win over Tiger City, the Premier League game started on Boxing Day.
This is a normal Boxing Day game. There are basically no upsets. Strong teams have won. Judging from the top six teams in the standings, Arsenal won the Hammers 3:1 away and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The court defeated Swansea 1-0, only Everton at home to send warmth to the deputy squad leader Sunderland, Moyes’ team lost 0:1.
In this round of the game, the only one that can be called a strong dialogue is the dialogue between Blue Moon Manchester City and Liverpool. Liverpool’s Coutinho opened the record, but then Manchester City captain Kompany and forward Negredo scored two goals to reverse the score. , The final Manchester City home 2-1 Lectra Liverpool.
It has to be said that Manchester City’s match against Liverpool is definitely regarded as a masterpiece of the Premier League this season. Especially in the first half, the two teams have almost brought their respective characteristics to the extreme. Of course, the personal abilities of the stars cannot be ignored. Reversing Liverpool with a personal ability 2:1.
Unlike Manchester City’s stars, Liverpool’s 11 starting players can really count as big names, and only Suarez is in the same class as Manchester City players. Therefore, Manchester City’s game against Liverpool before the game was hailed as a group of people versus one person.
Facts have proved that Suarez played very well in this game. As the captain, he made 31 passes and 25 successful passes and 4 threats. Among all the players on the field, only 6 times less than David Silva. , There were as many as 7 passes in the audience, which ranked first.
Regrettably, Suarez, who has scored 10 goals in the past four games, has not scored or even assisted Manchester City. Why? To sum up two points, one is the lineman who was called “blind” by Liverpool fans, and the other is because of his teammates like pigs! If not, Suarez could have helped Liverpool beat Manchester City with a second pass.
The losing Liverpool coach Rogers blamed the referee for the loss after the game. He said in an interview: “My team once took over the game. It was a top European matchup. I was disappointed that I didn’t win the game, but it doesn’t matter! I am proud of the performance of the players, they have played to the extreme, we also scored a wonderful opening goal, but I think we should score two or three goals in this game. 3 referees on the spot to enforce the level of business It’s not high. We have no way to change these. Players have to keep fighting to keep their balance. For example, Sterling was blown offside and the first assistant referee didn’t even run in place at the time-this kind of low-level mistake shouldn’t happen. In this level of competition!”
After this game, Manchester United continued to sit firmly on top of the standings, with 13 wins, 5 draws and 44 points, and the half-time champion was locked in an early round.
Arsenal came second by five points. Chelsea reaped the benefits of the fisherman and climbed into the top three of the standings. Manchester City, on the other hand, surpassed Liverpool, ranking fourth in the Premier League and Liverpool ranking fifth. Although Everton lost, but with the advantage of the goal difference, still beat Tottenham in sixth place.
………………
Forty-eight hours later, the 19th round of the Premier League began.
Manchester United continued on their road trip against Canary Norwich in Norfolk, East England.
There is a high-speed connection between Hull City and Manchester, and the distance is only 130 kilometers. Manchester United can go there by bus. The straight-line distance between Norwich and Manchester is 260 kilometers, and there is no direct highway connection, so Manchester United chose to take a chartered flight to Norwich to participate in the game.
Two games in a row in 48 hours. If you add the game before Christmas, this will be Manchester United’s 11th game in December.
In the continuous high-intensity game rhythm, Manchester United players continue to get injured. After the game against Hull City, Rooney suffered from groin pain. Although there was no major problem after inspection, Ferguson arranged for Rooney to take a rotation in the last game of 2013 for the sake of Lu’s health.
More than that, according to the team doctor’s advice, Lu Xiaopang may not be able to make his debut in the first game in 2014. Coupled with Van Persie, who has missed many games due to injuries before, and the Manchester United striker Trident BVR combination that once killed all sides at the beginning of the season, only Bell is left.
The good news is that Rooney will not have long-term injuries and Van Persie is about to recover.
………………
The game against Norwich was also Manchester United’s first game in 2013. Ferguson naturally hoped to end the imperfect but extremely perfect 2013 with a victory.
Therefore, under the policy of maintaining the rotation, Ferguson still sent the strongest lineup in his hand as much as possible.
Manchester United’s starting lineup is goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Smolin, Van Dyke, Evans and Evra, the three midfielders are Carrick, Modric and Pogba. On the striker, Bell is on the left and Evra. Hernandez serves as center, with Ashley Young on the right.
At the beginning of the first half, the Norwich team at home started a fierce fight. Hernandez and Bell were overturned to the ground. In this case, Manchester United’s plan to start the game before the game went bankrupt, because they simply couldn’t play a smooth attack.
As the game progressed, Norwich began to retreat and concentrate on defensive counterattacks. Although Manchester United had an advantage in possession, they lacked penetrating deep passes.
The first to make a threatening attack was the home team. In the 16th minute, Snodgrass and Martin penetrated Manchester United’s left defense. Martin hit the penalty area and shot out and was blocked by De Gea. Smalling grabbed Hulahan. Before breaking the ball out of the baseline.
The tired Manchester United players were obviously out of shape, and the opening attack cost them a lot of physical energy, which caused the scene to be quickly controlled by the more physical and fierce home team Norwich. In the first 25 minutes, the shot ratio between the two sides was 6:0, and Norwich had the advantage.
It wasn’t until the 31st minute of the game that Manchester United had its first threatening goal. Fair’s foot violation against Evra also received a yellow card, and Manchester United won a free kick from the front left.
The position of this free kick is relatively biased, and the distance from the goal is more than 30 meters. In this game, Norwich has very good control of fouls and rarely gives Manchester United a free kick in the threatened area.
Bell did not choose to force a direct shot, but chose to cross. After his free kick was taken, he found Evans in the penalty area, but Jenny’s header was slightly off the goal.
In the first half of the game, Norwich and Manchester United maintained a 0:0 tie and entered the halftime break.
………………
Obviously, neither side will be satisfied with a draw, so after the start of the second half, they all stepped up their offense.
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United made personnel adjustments. Welbeck replaced Smalling and Ashley Young changed to play right back.
After the start of the game, the two sides quickly entered a high-tempo confrontation. First, Norwich’s Raymond shot a long shot from the right rib in the first minute of the second half, and Manchester United returned two minutes later. Ashley Young cuts his right rib inward to near the arc of the penalty area with a right foot shot slightly higher than the crossbar. As soon as he turned, Raymond’s left foot seemed to pass and shoot, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the right post.
In this fast-paced attack, Manchester United, which has more players, still has an advantage.
In the 57th minute, Welbeck made a big breakthrough in the frontcourt. As a result, R-Bennetta’s clearance was blocked by the aggressive Black Shell. The ball bounced from Hernandez and formed a wonderful pass. Welbeck inserted into the formation. Faced with Rudy single-handedly, after Hebe got rid of the Norwich goalkeeper, he pushed an empty goal from the right side of the small penalty area and scored his sixth league goal this season.
BBC’s guest commentator, former Irish wing Kilbarney, commented on the scene: “This rebound ball is a bit of luck, but it also benefits from Welbeck’s good judgment of the situation. It was his aggressive press that found this. Not a chance. This shot is also very beautiful. He only scored one goal in the Premier League last season, but this season after being healthy, it looks like he has scored more and more goals.
This is the fourth goal that Hei Bei has contributed to the team in the past four rounds. His field goal percentage has reached 34% this season.
………………
Welbeck’s goal seemed to open the goal valve for Manchester United. Only four minutes later, Manchester United ushered in the second goal of the game.
In the 61st minute, Ashley Young passed the ball from the right. Welbeck header headed the ball, but at the same time it also shook Norwich’s defenders in the middle. After all the tops, the ball came to the back point. Bell cat, who followed up at the later point, had a chance.
In this game, Bell played very depressed~www.mtlnovel.com~ He was tightly locked on the court, and there were two or three Norwich players around him at any time, and he rarely got shot opportunities.
Faced with this unexpected opportunity, Bell pushed the ball forward without hesitation, took advantage of the opportunity to enter the small penalty area, triggered a kill shot, and shot straight to the dead corner of the near post.
This is Bell’s 25th Premier League goal this season, and Bell’s 97th goal in 2013.
However, Ferguson quickly replaced Bell. In today’s situation, it is almost impossible for Bell to tie the world record of 100 goals in a single natural year set by him in 2012, let alone break this record.
And, even if Bell may break the record, Ferguson can’t risk Bell getting injured. In his opinion, a healthy Bell is the most important thing.
As a result, Bell’s number of goals in 2013 has also stayed at the number of 97 goals.
It was the Belgian teenager Januzay who replaced Bell.
However, in the subsequent games, the Manchester United players did not intend to continue to attack, but Norwich was unwilling to lose at home and continued to send offensive players at the last moment, but in the end failed to save the defeat. Ferguson ran out of the last substitution in the 86th minute, and Giggs came on the bench.
In the end, Manchester United won the game 2:0 away, which can be regarded as a perfect end to 2013.
