Chapter 300 Pressure him
When Bale led Tottenham Hotspur around Manchester City's penalty area to bombard the penalty area, Tottenham Hotspur fans were very happy. Tottenham Hotspur fans were happy that they had hope for the top four in the league, while Arsenal fans were happy that their record was saved.
But now, they can't laugh.
Glory helped Manchester City take the lead!
In the absence of any advantage at all, Manchester City took the lead instead.
In fact, they should not be unfamiliar with this scene. This kind of thing happened to Manchester City not once or twice.
But they still have a chance, thinking that such a thing will not happen against the team they support...
Now that Tottenham is behind, what should we do next?
Many people feel a little confused.
When Tottenham was leading the way, they had never considered such a problem at all. So now they seem a little underprepared.
Tottenham Hotspur did not have this problem. When the game started again, they took advantage of the advantage after the win goal and launched a fierce attack on Tottenham Hotspur's goal and pushed Tottenham Hotspur back.
Bale is as always, but now he has to keep going back to defend and help the team defend the glory.
He is the left forward, and the area where Glory often moves is on the right side of Manchester City, and the two of them just face each other.
When Manchester City just scored a goal, in order to ensure that his team will not concede the ball continuously in a short period of time, Bale must return to defense.
You should know that Manchester City is very good at using a goal to disrupt the opponent's rhythm recently, after a storm attack, he scored another goal.
Bale is the only person in Tottenham Hotspur team who can compete with glory in speed. If he doesn't return to defense, he will wait for Tottenham Hotspur's wing to be completely beaten.
After all, Tottenham Hotspur has no full-back in this game. They are three central defenders. The wide defense must rely on the active return of Bale and Lunon. Previously, because Tottenham Hotspur always played against Manchester City, the defensive pressure on both sides is not very large, and they do not need to return to defense.
The situation is different now...
※※※
p>Bell returned to defense many times and also had one-on-one opportunity with Rongguang.
For him, although he cannot perform in offense for the time being, he is still full of fighting spirit to be able to defend the glory of defensiveness.
Defeating Glory directly is also a tribute to your idol.
So the two of them rushed forward again and again on the side.
"Rong... He forced a breakthrough! Bell chased after him! The two of them started a 100-meter sprint race on the side!"
"Rong suddenly stopped in an emergency! Bell was thrown away!"
"…But after Rong cuts inwardly, Bell catches up again..."
Contests like this happen frequently between two people.
Rongguang seemed to enjoy the feeling of racing against Bell. He had previously moved to the middle or on the left, but now he is fixed on the right.
If Bale wants to beat him, he will give Bale a game time to see how far he can do.
At the beginning, Bell was able to keep up with the speed of Glory, starting, sprinting, stopping, starting and accelerating again and again.
He could barely tie with Rongguang. After all, Rongguang dribbled the ball, and he ran without the ball.
But as the number of sprints increased, he gradually felt overwhelmed, but he kept gritting his teeth and persevering. He was unwilling to show weakness in front of his idol...
That's how the first half ended.
Because of Bale's desperate defense, Manchester City did not score any more goals after scoring the first half.
The score in the first half was Manchester City's 1-0 lead over Tottenham Hotspur.
However, this score does not make those who support Tottenham Hotspur, after all, Tottenham Hotspur is behind.
If the situation in the second half does not improve, the score will remain until the end of the game, and then Manchester City will be the one who laughs to the end.
This makes no sense for those who don't want Manchester City to win.

During the intermission, in the locker room, Bale gasped heavily while the team's physiotherapist kept massaged his thigh muscles.
Redkner is taking the time to explain the tactical arrangements for the second half to his players.
Bell sat on the massage table, holding his hands on his body, and the physiotherapist was busy on his legs.
He was very tired in the first half. If Tottenham Hotspur had the dominance of more than twenty minutes before conceding the ball, he might not have been able to hold on.
Fortunately, he can still use the intermission to recover some energy. The main purpose is to relax his muscles.
Frequently starting sprints is a huge burden on his joints and muscles.
The team doctor team also knew this very well, so he was asked to receive a massage as soon as he returned to the locker room.
Redknapp did not praise Bale for his performance in the first half, but Bale knew very well that this was not because the coach did not value him, but on the contrary, this was the coach's performance of understanding him.
When fighting against idols, Bale's performance is excellent, he doesn't need to be praised by the head coach.
Bell is very grateful to Redknapp, because if it weren't for him, his career might not be as good as he is now.
It was Redknapp who brought himself from the left back to the left forward position that allowed him to occupy the team's starting position.
Although Real Madrid knows his interests very well, he really doesn't think about Real Madrid's affairs now.
Tottenham Hotspur almost finished fourth last season, but ultimately failed. This season, Bale hopes to help Redknapp enter the Champions League, hoping to play once under the leadership of the old coach.
In this way, even if he leaves Tottenham Hotspur in the future, he will not have any regrets.
For this reason, he must win this game against Manchester City!
The teammates saw Bell's breathless look. Although they didn't say anything, they were also very grateful to Bell in their hearts.
In the first half, if it weren't for Bale, Tottenham Hotspur would never have conceded only one goal.
But what touched them even more was the terrible glory.
It was just a half-game, but Bale was so tired, and this was the first time they saw it.
And this is all because Bale went to defend the glory in the second half of the first half.
But he went to defend Glory in the second half of the first half... and he was not alone in the fight against Glory, and Palacios was helping around him.
Even so, Bell was still tired as if he had played for 120 minutes of game. He actually had to ask the physiotherapist to give him a massage when he returned to the locker room.
In addition to Bale, Palacios is actually very tired, but only one massage table is available, so naturally he has to give priority to Bale.
Seeing these two players with the best physical fitness in the inside, so tired after only playing halftime, the other players at Tottenham felt tremendous pressure.
Glory...that person is such a monster!
This is the case in the first half, what should I do in the second half?
Although Redknapp was telling them about the tactical adjustments in the second half, many people didn't listen to it at this time. They just felt that Rongguang alone made two of their teams so embarrassed. Can we really defeat Manchester City where he is?
Now that I think about it, in the first round of the league, they could actually make Rong Guang's goal without a single goal at home and draw Manchester City... It's amazing!
But how did they do it at that time?
※※※
At the same time, in Manchester City's locker room, Benitez was telling Rongguang: "The second half of the game continues to be active on the wing, forcing Bale to only come back to defend you, so that our defensive pressure on the right side will be much less. Moreover... Bale's physical fitness is not enough to support the end of the game. Attacking from here can also effectively open the situation."
Rong Guang nodded.
He felt this, too.
As the first half was approaching, he and Bale had another confrontation. He dribbled the ball forward and Bale followed him to chase him. He could clearly hear a very heavy breathing sound coming from his side.
He was also surprised. He just ran, but why did he breathe so hard?
And the breathing sounds are getting heavier.
He knew it was Bell's breathing.
Later he realized that Bell was tired...
Such a heavy breathing sound can show Bell's physical strength? The meridian is almost at its limit.
The halftime break saved him, but the fifteen-minute break cannot help him recover too much physical strength, so Benitez's arrangement is actually to let Glory drain Bale's last bit of physical strength, directly causing the player who poses the greatest threat to Manchester City in the first half to lose his combat effectiveness, and even withdraw from the battle sequence - being substituted.
※※※
After the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, no one made a substitution.
The TV broadcast swept across the faces of Rong Guang and Bell, each giving a few seconds of close-up shots.
Glory's expression was calm, and Bell's brow frowned slightly.
"Bell was still very tired when he left the game after the first half. Now it seems that he has recovered during the break..." John Motterson said. "Actually, Bale has good physical fitness. He practiced long-distance running in middle school. Even after playing the whole game, it is difficult to see him panting and exhausted, let alone playing halftime. But today, we have the honor to witness Bale's tired side. This is all brought by Rong..."
"If I were Benitez, I would let Rong continue to attack Tottenham's left side in the second half, forcing Bale to return to defense more and consume his energy." Alan Hansen said from the side.
After the second half began, what he said became reality.
Manchester City kicked off in the second half. Not long after he got the ball, the football was passed to the right.
Rongguang received the ball on the side, passed the ball to Sneider who came to pick him up in the middle, and then ran forward by himself.
Bale didn't care about Sneider and football, but followed the glory to chase after him.
He knew very well that Sneider would definitely pass football to Glory.
Sure enough, Sneider quickly knocked the football in front of Rongguang, and Rongguang cooperated with him to hit the wall.
Palacioscar was in the inside, while Bale was chasing him with glory.
After receiving the ball, Rongguang did not slow down, but directly drove the football forward.
Anyway, Tottenham Hotspur has no full-backs, and their three central defenders are relatively close to the middle, so there is more space on the wing. Rongguang doesn't have to worry about this trip that will put the football at the foot of Tottenham Hotspur's full-back.
Bale and Palacios also followed and chased after him. If they could force Glory to make a pass, they would be considered successful in defense. No matter how bad they were, they would have to break the baseline or sideline and give Manchester City a corner kick or an out-of-bounds ball.
Anyway, he can't be allowed to cut from the wing into the penalty area.
Chapter completed!
