Chapter 1029: The Closing Battle

After Hernandez scored, there was no suspense in the game, although Blackburn also has a bit of strength, fighting at home, and fighting spirit, but Manchester United's strength is more than one gear higher than Blackburn, and it is experienced, and it is almost impossible for Blackburn to turn the tables.

In the second half, United took the lead and then began to shrink, luring Blackburn Rovers to attack.

Blackburn knew it was dangerous to go out, but they couldn't do anything about it, as long as they wanted to get points, they had to go out.

Obviously, besieging Manchester United will come at a terrible price, with Blackburn being hit twice by United in the space of ten minutes in the second half, once Rooney hitting the post and once by Gao Xiaodong shaking off goalkeeper Robinson.

After the score became 3:0, there was no suspense, at this time, Blackburn was worried about playing a super score when there was no hope of winning, and did not dare to attack again, and Manchester United just wanted to get three points safely and unharmed, and there was no more desire to attack, and finally the game ended with Manchester United winning 3:0.

United won the game as they wished, and after the victory, United did not have much interest in congratulating them, and stayed on the pitch to wait for the result of the match between Chelsea and Newcastle.

The two title contenders played the same game, but Chelsea had too much time in between, with seven minutes of stoppage time in between, compared to three minutes for Manchester United and Blackburn.

Chelsea and Newcastle played to a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes of regular time, and if Chelsea fail to beat Newcastle in the end, Manchester United will win the title one round earlier, and there will be no need to fight Blackpool in the final round, and if Chelsea win, Manchester United will have to continue to fight hard in the last round.

In the last four minutes, in order to grasp the last straw, Chelsea frantically besieged Newcastle, and in the last minute Terry's header scored, Chelsea beat Newcastle 3-2, keeping the suspense of the title race until the final round.

The Manchester United players were so angry that they scolded their mothers, and many people thought that this was the FA's conspiracy, that is, they didn't want Manchester United to win the championship in advance.

Although there is not much suspense in the last round of playing the vice-president Blackpool, but if you don't hold the championship trophy in your hands for a day, Manchester United's hearts can't be put down for a day, after all, football is round, no one knows what will happen, in addition, there may be injuries if there is a game, Barcelona still has an important Champions League final to play, Manchester United does not want to have injuries in the league, so Chelsea's stunner makes Manchester United's players very depressed.

However, the game is over, and Manchester United have no choice but to continue to prepare for the final round of games against Blackpool to ensure a league title.

Blackpool, a promoted polo side, returned to the top flight for the first time in 39 years after beating Cardiff 3-2 at Wembley in last season's promotion play-offs.

Blackpool hardly had any glorious moments in their history, the only time coming in 1953 when the first European Footballer of the Year winner, Matthews, made three clever passes in the FA Cup final to help Blackpool win the FA Cup with a 4-3 win over Bolton, and that time they won the trophy at Wembley. This time they still have Lady Luck with them, beating Swansea by one point to finish sixth in the league, qualifying for the play-offs, narrowly beating third-placed Nottingham 4-3 and reversing fourth-placed Cardiff 3-2 to qualify for them.

Blackpool accumulated 70 points in the Championship last season, only sixth, 32 points behind Newcastle at the top of the table, and are a typical team with strong attack and weak defence, conceding 58 goals in 46 games in a season, and this is still the case, Blackpool have performed even worse this season, they have scored 39 points in 37 league games, scored 53 goals, conceded 74 goals, first in the Premier League, the same number of points as the bottom four, only two points away from the bottom five.

That said, Blackpool still have relegation hopes, as long as they beat Manchester United away.

The last time Blackpool beat Manchester United was 1-0 in 1962, more than 40 years have passed, Manchester United is stronger and has become the Premier League hegemon, and Blackpool has been messing around in the lower leagues, and now it is easy to be promoted to the Super League, Blackpool is of course not willing to go back to play in the lower divisions, so as long as there is a little hope, Blackpool's players will not give up.

Blackpool's style of play is more traditional, mainly based on English long passes, and coach Holloway advocates attack, so the style of play is also relatively open.

In the goalkeeper position, Blackpool may be the smallest gap with the Premier League team, they have Rachubka and Girks two goalkeepers, both are in the prime of their careers, in the Championship, former Manchester United goalkeeper Rachubka is the main team, although after being promoted to the Premier League, Rachubka is plagued by injuries, but the main goalkeeper position is still him.

Rachubka was unable to establish himself at Manchester United, and now that Blackpool are a key team in determining the United title, the former United goalkeeper may not let the Reds go.

In terms of player ability, Blackpool's back line has a very big gap with other teams in the Premier League, as the British media said: "Blackpool's defenders must be improved by at least two notches to ensure that they are not ravaged by the giants." ”

Blackpool's midfielders are good, they have three strong players of Wahan, Schauzen and Adam, but the problem is that apart from these three, Blackpool can hardly find other players who can play the main role, and Blackpool are in the relegation zone this season, mainly because of the lack of depth on the bench.

Blackpool's individual ability is not too strong, but veterans Olmerod, Campbell, and Phillips all have the ability to score goals, plus Adam, the core of the midfield with excellent attacking power, Blackpool's attacking power is not bad.

At the heart of Blackpool's midfield is 25-year-old Scotland international Adam, who is also Blackpool's captain.

Henry spent the mid-2008/09 season on loan from Glasgow Rangers at Blackpool, and just half a season later, boss Holloway decided to buy Adam for £500,000. In the 2009-10 season, Adam became an integral part of Blackpool, scoring 18 goals in 46 appearances and goals, which is the best in the team for appearances and goals, and as a midfielder, this goalscoring ability is very good.

At Blackpool, Adam was also the only player to have featured in both the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, and he was not only played, full of energy, but also had a precise long-range shot, and in the final round, Adam was the biggest threat to the United title.

Adam and Gao Xiaodong have similar characteristics and similar status in the team, Adam is not convinced by Gao Xiaodong's achievements at Inter Milan, nor is he convinced of Gao Xiaodong's Ballon d'Or, so before the game, Adam challenged Gao Xiaodong, saying that he wanted to beat Gao Xiaodong and ruin Manchester United's dream of a treble.
