Chapter 582: Bell's Arc

This conversation with Bale did not change Bale's situation, and in the following time, Bale's things were not much different from usual, training, drilling, silence, bench ......

After the international break, Manchester City resumed the next game, and after the national team game, Manchester City ushered in the fifth round of matches, after one defeat and one draw in the first two rounds, Manchester United are 10 points, and Aston Villa, Everton and Chelsea, because the goal difference is more than Everton and Chelsea, but because of one less goal, they are one place worse than Aston Villa, sitting in fourth place in the league - interestingly, their next league opponent is Aston Villa.

Aston Villa have always been a major force in the Premier League, although they have not done very well, but basically every season there is no danger of relegation, and occasionally they can make an impact on the European stage, and they belong to a team with little ambition.

Manchester City's overall strength is better than Aston Villa's, but Aston Villa is not short of excellent players, and most of Manchester City's main players are internationals, who have played a lot of games in the national team, which also casts a shadow on Manchester City's game.

A lot of the media was holding their breath and waiting to see Dick's joke if Dick lost...... Hehe, then it's time to laugh at this foreign coach and the rich Arabs......

I have to say that the English media are sometimes very boring, they don't have a grudge against Mansour or Dick, they simply want to see others unlucky, anyway, they just go up to pat themselves on the back when it's good, and run up and step on their feet when it's bad, but they rarely target anyone because of personal grudges, anyway, as long as they can report the gimmick, they will spare no effort to promote, no matter what the consequences, such as the time England held the World Cup and they messed up is an obvious example.

In this match, Dick started to show his toughness.

In the case of no win in the first two rounds, Dick still started the rotation in this round step by step, the main players who played more games in the national team did not play, the goalkeeper still sent Hart, the four defenders on the back line were Richards, Samuel, Cahill and Barnes, the midfield hid Yaya Toure, let Barton, Parker and Vidal form the midfield, and the forward line sent a combination of Ashley Young, Vassell and Di Natale, Torres and Franck Ribery, two heavyweights, were adamantly not used by him because they played two full games for the national team, and even Ribery did not even enter the squad, watching from the stands, only Torres was on the bench because there were no other strikers available.

With such a starting lineup, when he has been winless for two rounds and urgently needs a victory to boost morale, Dick still dares to send such a set of semi-main and semi-substitute lineups, is he too confident or too arrogant?

"With the character of those foreign bosses, I am afraid that the idea of the employer coach will be moved by the failure to win three rounds...... Although Dick's reputation will not be like this, but if those bosses are suspicious, his next work may not be very easy to carry out, I heard that Mourinho has also begun to encounter all kinds of troubles this season, and the patience of foreign owners with the manager is really getting worse and worse......"

A commentator commented that there is no impermeable wall in the world, although Chelsea's results this season are not bad, but after losing a game before, all kinds of rumors have begun to blow, dissatisfied with last season's results, this summer Abou did not buy anything for Mourinho, most of them are free reinforcements and sold Mourinho's love Robben, all this is an omen, it is said that now Chelsea's dressing room has been divided into two factions, one is Mourinho and the other is Mourinho, In such a situation, it is normal for Chelsea to have some ups and downs.

When Chelsea had this example, people began to wonder if Manchester City would have such a situation, which is normal, because in people's impressions, such a rich man is always very eager for quick success, even if Dick is famous, the impact on them will not be too great, plus Manchester City did not play well in the previous two games, if there is a problem in this game, maybe it will really shake Dick's position a lot!

However, I have to say that Dick has always been very tough in many cases, otherwise he would never have been fired because of his performance, although he has changed four clubs in eight years, but everyone knows that it is not because of the results, in fact, in addition to Atletico Madrid, in Dortmund and Inter Milan, Dick fired the boss, not the boss fired him.

In this game, Dick surprisingly adopted the tactics of defensive counter-attack, although Aston Villa continued to suppress Manchester City's defense through attacks at the City Stadium, Manchester City withstood the opponent's fierce attack, but relied on a beautiful counterattack before the end of the first half to break through the opponent's door - Vidal received the ball and sent a beautiful diagonal pass, Ashley Young broke through the opponent's defender and crossed, Di Natale cleverly hit the back-heel shot when he ran past and hit the ball into the opponent's goal!

Di Natale's fourth goal in the league this season! If measured by value, Di Natale is simply a great value......

In the second half of the game, Manchester City continued to resist the opponent's attack with excellent defense, under the command and dispatch of Samuel, Manchester City's defense was quite layered, and Dick successively replaced Hamann and Kompany and other defensive giants, Manchester City successfully maintained the lead until the end, defeated the opponent 1-0, and won the first victory in three rounds of league games!

Dick said after the game that he was pleased with his team's performance, but the media felt that City had not won well enough......

"Before we play well, the first thing to make sure is that we can win. Don't talk nonsense, it's my job, I'm only responsible for the fans and the owners, and it's my job to lift the trophy at the end of the season, not to satisfy you. ”

Dick squirted the media back with a big mouth, and the reporters began to write articles about how ugly Dick was fighting, but it didn't make a difference to Dickβ€”he rarely looked at those things......

After winning the game, Dick continued to train with his team, and at the weekend he led the team to London, where they faced Fulham.

In this game, Dick sent most of the main force, but in this game, Manchester City's lack of tacit cooperation was once again exposed, the last round of excellent defense was built on the overall defence, this round when they began to press the attack, the back line is also constantly being opened......

Fulham's goal opened the scoring in the opening thirteen minutes with Simon Davies, but City equalised ten minutes later, Franck Ribery tore through the opposition defence like a sharp knife before passing the ball into the box, where Torres slotted home with ease.

However, three minutes into the second half, Fulham relied on a corner header to open the scoring again, but just two minutes later, City played a delicate combination in front, Yaya Toure stepped forward and shot with his feet, the ball hit the opposition defender and bounced into the box, and the follow-up Di Natale equalized again for City with a clean volley!

Ten minutes later, however, Samuel and Kompany made a mistake and Fulham's Murphy went straight in and pushed Hart into the far corner to push the score for the third time - after the third overtake, Fulham began to defend with all their strength, trying to maintain the lead at home until the end of the game!

Manchester City launched a crazy attack, but in the face of such a dense defense, their cooperation is not good enough, it is difficult to find too many opportunities, Dick frowned and looked at the situation on the field, the last round was to calm the team down with a victory, and defensive counterattacks will not be his main tactic, so this round has resumed the previous offensive tactics, and now it seems that the effect is not too good - but even if it is not good, you have to stick to it, stick to the right path, more important than anything else.

But even so, Dick doesn't like to lose, and now the opponent is defending intensively, and there are not many other options, and it seems that he wants to find opportunities from set-pieces......

After thinking about it, Dick called out Bell from the bench.

"Gareth, come on the pitch and break down the left flank, but more often than not, give the ball to the middle and let them break through...... There's a well-positioned free-kick and you take the penalty, understand? Do what you did in the team's tactical training, let Frank cover you and try to get the ball in for me! ”

Listening to Dick's words, Bale nodded vigorously, during this time he began to learn to be a winger according to the training plan, although he has not found much feeling, but he has been practicing free kicks since he was a child, he does not think that his free kicks will be worse than anyone else!

Soon after, Bale came on for Parker in midfield, and after he came on, Ribery switched to the right and City began to fly on both wings......

"The young Bale is on the pitch and playing as a left winger! He had only made one appearance in the Carabao Cup before, playing as a left winger, and his performance was mediocre, and it seems that Dick pushed his position forward, which seems to be a bit taken for granted, and the position of young players is indeed not fixed, but it is not something that can be used by changing positions...... Oh! What a speed! ”

In the narrator's startled exclamation, Bale on the field was using speed on the left to get rid of the opponent's right-back, and then hit the bottom line with a foot cross, Torres nodded in front of the goal, but unfortunately it was slightly off.

Bale's biggest weapon is his speed, which is really scary when he rushes up, and after he has made a few rushes in a row, Fulham starts to notice his breakthrough, and that's when Bale opts to pass!

The ball reached the feet of Ribery, who came to the middle, and Ribery dribbled forward and was brought down by the opposing defender, a free kick.

Ribery and Bale stood next to the ball at the same time, and no one thought that the young Bale would be the main penalty taker, after all, he was only a substitute before, but in the next moment, Bale proved that he was good with his left foot!

Perfect curling ball, the ball goes over the head of the wall in the air and then swoops headlong into the corner of the goal!

"Nice free kick! Seventeen-year-old Gareth Bale shows his free-kick footwork! Manchester City equalised for the third time! It has to be said that Bale's Premier League debut was flawless! Although it was only 20 minutes, it contributed three breakthroughs and a goal! I'm going to have to retract what I said, Dick always has something magical! ”
