When Bale led Tottenham Hotspur to bombard the Manchester City penalty area, Tottenham Hotspur fans and Arsenal fans were delighted. Tottenham Hotspur fans are happy that they have a chance of finishing in the top four, while Arsenal fans are happy that their record has been maintained.

But now, none of them can laugh.

Glory helped Manchester City take the lead!

In what looked like they were not dominating at all, Manchester City took the lead.

In fact, this scene should not be unfamiliar to them, and this kind of thing has not happened to Manchester City once or twice.

But they still take chances, thinking that something like this won't happen against a team they support......

Now that Tottenham are behind, what's next?

A lot of people feel a little lost.

When they were leading at Tottenham, they hadn't thought about it at all. So much so that now it seems a little unprepared.

Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, did not have this problem, and when the game resumed, they took advantage of the advantage after the glorious goal to launch a fierce attack on the Tottenham Hotspur goal, pressing Tottenham Hotspur back.

Bale is the same as always, but he's going to keep coming back to help the team defend their glory.

He is a left-sided midfielder, with Glory frequented on the right flank of Manchester City, with the two facing each other.

With Manchester City just scoring, Bale had to come back to defend in order to make sure his team didn't concede goals in a short period of time.

You must know that Manchester City have been very good at using a goal to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent recently, and then score another goal after a storm of attacks.

Bale is the only person in the Tottenham Hotspur team who can match the glory in terms of speed, and if he doesn't defend back, he will just wait for Tottenham Hotspur's flanks to be completely blown up.

After all, Tottenham Hotspur did not have full-backs in this game, they were three central defenders, and the wing defense had to rely on the active return of Bale and Lennon. Previously, because Tottenham Hotspur always pressed Manchester City, the defensive pressure on both sides was not very great, and they did not need to defend back.

Now it's a different story......

※※※

Bale returned to defense many times and also had a chance to play one-on-one with Rongguang.

For him, although he can't show anything in the offense for the time being, he is still full of fighting spirit to be able to defend glory.

directly defeating Glory can be regarded as his own tribute to his idol.

So the two of them launched a speed spree on the side again and again.

"Rong ...... He forced his way through! Bell is in pursuit! Two people started a 100-meter sprint race on the side! ”

Rong suddenly made an emergency stop! Bell was thrown off! ”

“…… But after Ronneche, Bale chased after him......"

Fights like this happen between two people from time to time.

Glory also seems to enjoy racing against Bale, who used to move in the middle or on the left, but now he's fixed on the right.

If Bale is going to beat him, then he's going to give Bale a game and see how far he can go.

At the beginning, Bell was able to keep up with the speed of glory, starting frequently, sprinting, stopping, restarting, and accelerating again and again.

He was still able to barely get to a draw with Glory. After all, Glory carries the ball, and he runs without the ball.

But as the number of such sprints increased, he gradually felt powerless, but he kept gritting his teeth and persevering. He didn't want to show weakness in front of his idols......

And so the first half ended.

Because of Bale's desperate defense, City didn't score again after scoring in the first half.

The score in the first half was Manchester City leading Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.

However, the score did not delight those who supported Tottenham, who were behind the side after all.

If the situation does not improve in the second half, the score will remain until the end, then it will be Manchester City who will have the last laugh.

It means nothing to those who don't want Manchester City to win.

At half-time, in the locker room, Bale gasped for air while the team's physiotherapist massaged his thigh muscles.

Redknapp is scrambling to explain the tactics of the second half to his players.

Bell sat on the massage table with his hands on his body and the therapist busy on his legs.

He was tired in the first half and might not have been able to hold on if Tottenham had dominated the 20-odd minutes before conceding the goal.

Thankfully, he is still able to recover some of his body at halftime. The main thing is to let your muscles relax a bit.

Frequent sprints are a huge burden on his joints and muscles.

The team doctor was well aware of this, so as soon as he returned to the locker room, he was asked to get a massage.

Redknapp didn't praise Bale for his performance in the first half, but Bale knew it wasn't because the manager didn't take him seriously, on the contrary, it was a sign that the manager understood him.

When playing against idols, Bale doesn't need to be praised by the manager for playing so well.

Bale is very grateful to Redknapp, because if it weren't for him, his career might not be where it is now.

It was Redknapp who moved himself from left-back to left-sided midfielder that allowed him to take his starting spot.

Although Real Madrid is well aware of his interests, he is really not thinking about Real Madrid at the moment.

Tottenham Hotspur came close to finishing fourth last season, but ultimately fell short. And this season, Bale hopes to help Redknapp reach the Champions League, hoping to play in the Champions League under the leadership of the old manager.

So even if he leaves Tottenham Hotspur in the future, he will have no regrets.

For this, he must win this game against Manchester City!

The teammates all saw Bell panting like this, and although they didn't say anything, they were also very grateful to Bell in their hearts.

In the first half, Tottenham Hotspur would definitely not have conceded just one goal if it weren't for Bale.

But what touched them more deeply was the horror of glory.

It's only been a game and a half, and Bale is so tired, it's the first time they've seen it.

And it was all because Bale went to defend in the second half of the first half.

But he went to defend again in the second half of the first half...... And he is not alone in the glory, there is Palacios by his side to help.

Even so, Bale was still tired as if he had played a hundred and twenty minutes. When he returned to the locker room, he had to ask the physiotherapist to give him a massage.

In addition to Bell, Palacios is actually tired enough, but there is only one massage table, so naturally Bell has to be given priority.

Looking at the two most physical players in the game, so tired after only half a game, the rest of Tottenham's players felt a huge pressure.

Glory...... What a monster that guy is!

The first half was like this, what about the second half?

Although Redknapp was telling them about the tactical changes in the second half, many people didn't listen at this time, they just felt that Glory alone made two people in their team so wolfy, can we really beat his Manchester City?

Now that I think about it, in the first round of the league, they were able to let Glory not score a goal at home and draw Manchester City...... It's amazing!

But how exactly did they do it then?

※※※

Meanwhile, in City's dressing room, Rafael Benitez was telling Glory: "Continuing to be active on the flanks in the second half forced Bale to come back and defend you so that we have a lot less pressure on the right flank. And...... Bale's fitness is not enough to sustain the game until the end of the game, and it can be very effective to open up the situation by attacking from here. ”

Glory nodded.

He felt it too.

Towards the end of the first half, he and Bale had another encounter, when he dribbled forward and Bale chased after him, and he could clearly hear very heavy breathing coming from around him.

He still wondered, he was just running, why he was breathing so heavily.

And the breathing sound is getting heavier and heavier.

He knew it was Bell's breathing.

It was only later that he realized that Bell was tired......

The sound of such heavy breathing can indicate that Bell's physical strength is almost at the limit.

The halftime break saved him, but the fifteen-minute break could not have allowed him to recover too much, so Benitez's arrangement was actually to let the glory squeeze the last trace of Bale's body, and directly make the player who was the biggest threat to Manchester City in the first half lose his combat effectiveness, and even withdraw from the battle sequence - was substituted.

※※※

After the two sides changed sides in the second half, neither made any substitutions.

The televised broadcast swept over the faces of Rong Guang and Bell, each giving a few seconds of close-up.

Rongguang's expression was calm, and Bell frowned slightly.

'Bale was tired when he came off the pitch after the first half and now it looks like he's recovered at half-time...... ' said John Mortenson. In fact, Bale's physical fitness is very good, and he even practiced long-distance running when he was in middle school. Even after playing a full game, it's hard to see him out of breath and tired, let alone half a game. But today, we had the privilege of witnessing Bell's tired side. It's all Rong ......"

"If I were Benitez, I would have allowed Rong to continue to attack Tottenham Hotspur's left flank in the second half and force Bale to defend more. Consume his body. Alan Hansen said from the side.

As soon as the second half began, what he said became reality.

In the second half, Manchester City kicked off, and not long after they got the ball, the ball was passed to the right flank.

Glory received the ball on the flank, passed the ball to Sneijder, who leaned over in the middle to meet him, and ran forward himself.

Instead of caring about Sneijder and football, Bale followed the glory.

He knew very well that Sneijder would definitely pass the football to glory.

Sure enough, Sneijder quickly knocked the ball in front of Glory, and Glory made a wall collision with him.

Palaci Oscar is on the inside, and Bale is clinging to the glory and chasing after him.

After receiving the ball, Rongguang did not slow down, but directly moved the ball forward.

Tottenham Hotspur don't have full-backs anyway, and their three centre-backs are relatively far in the middle, so there's more space on the flanks. Glory didn't have to worry about the trip taking football to the feet of the Tottenham Hotspur full-back.

Bale and Palacios also chased after them, and if they could force Glory to cross with their feet, it would be considered a success in their defense. No matter how bad it is, you have to destroy the bottom line or the sideline, give Manchester City a corner or a throw-in or something.

He can't cut into the box from the wing anyway.

In the end, with the two men working together, the ball was blocked by Bale and City won a corner. I580
