After the score was reversed, Manchester United surprisingly did not fight back wildly, but played steadily, fighting with Blackpool in the midfield, which made Blackpool's desire to take advantage of Manchester United's impetuousness to score another goal or two in vain.

Allardyce glanced at Ferguson and said in his heart, this is really an old fox, he can still calm down at this time, no wonder he has the last laugh in the championship repeatedly.

However, Allardyce is not in a hurry, now Blackpool is ahead, the initiative is in his own hands, he can attack if he wants, he can defend if he wants, and he is not afraid of what tricks Ferguson will play.

In the last minutes of the first half, because Ferguson wanted to stabilize the situation, Manchester United did not attack aggressively, and Blackpool's players hoped to be able to play Manchester United's counterattack and did not take the initiative to attack, and the score did not change again in the last minutes, and Blackpool ended with a 2-1 lead.

Manchester United fans didn't expect such a score at half-time, they were very disappointed, they couldn't accept it, when the United players came off the pitch, no one applauded, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.

Blackpool's crowd of just over 1,000 fans was like an island in the middle of the ocean among the more than 70,000 United fans, but they were the heart of Old Trafford, cheering the whole stadium.

In the VIP box, Everram was in a bad mood, and he complained to Joel: "Ferguson is not as godly as you say, Gao Xiaodong's performance is average, if even Blackpool can't win, I think Ferguson can also retire." ”

Joel is full of confidence in Manchester United, "Don't worry, brother, Blackpool is only one goal ahead, I believe Sir Alex Ferguson and Gao will be able to pull it back, the title is still ours." ”

Efram snorted through his nose, "I hope so, I'm not as confident as you." ”

Back in the dressing room, the Manchester United players were a little depressed, but Ferguson did not change his face, he did not criticize the players, but comforted them, "When the score is ahead, we are a little relaxed, but the first goal conceded is more of a referee's misjudgment, and the second opponent played extraordinarily." ”

The players thought they were going to face Ferguson's hair dryer, but they were a little surprised that Ferguson was so kind and cute, and several players who made mistakes, including goalkeeper Van der Sar, were a little flattered.

Ferguson continued: "Maybe you don't understand me telling you to attack slowly, but in that situation, the opponent was full of morale, good luck, full of confidence, who is more likely to score if we attack? Don't overestimate the strength, according to my decades of experience, at this time, they are likely to expand the score more than us, if we stabilize and play with them step by step, do you think Blackpool can hold on to a one-goal lead?"

Everyone was silent, but Gao Xiaodong said: "What if Blackpool defended the second half like Stoke City in the FA Cup final?"

Ferguson smiled slightly and said: "Impossible, the iron bucket formation is not something that anyone can put if they want to, the iron bucket formation also has technical content, Stoke City's defense is better than Blackpool's, and Stoke City's tactics in that game have also been practiced for a month, can Blackpool do it now?"

Gao Xiaodong stopped talking, and he also agreed with Ferguson's tactical arrangement.

Ferguson laid out the tactics of the second half, because Blackpool took the lead, Manchester United mainly attacked in the second half, but Ferguson was not prepared to risk pressing too much, he thought it was better to defend steadily, and let superstars such as Gao Xiaodong, Wayne Rooney, Berbatov, and Scholes solve the problem.

The stakes are high, and Ferguson doesn't dare to take risks easily at this time.

At the start of the second half, Blackpool shrunk defensively, but as Ferguson expected, they did not shrink to their 30-metre zone like Stoke City, they just defended their own half and counter-attacked.

Of course, Sam Allardyce also wants to learn from Stoke City, but the conditions are not available, and Manchester United's squad also has several masters of cracking the iron bucket formation, so Allardyce thinks that it is more appropriate to retreat too much, and it is better to continue to defend at half-time.

Although Manchester United did not press too much, they were much stronger Blackpool, and even a step-by-step attack could hit the ball into Blackpool's heartland.

In the 48th minute, Patrice Evra stepped forward to attack, he shook off a defender and crossed the ball into the box in the face of the threat of the opponent's flying tackle.

Patrice Evra was brought down after a pass, and Berbatov in the middle saw that there were too many people to press him, and there was no way to shoot directly at the goal, so he did not shoot when he grabbed the spot, but rubbed the ball, and the ball flew over the heads of Berbatov and the pressing defenders to the back post.

Dimitar's pass was too imaginative, but Rooney was rude by nature, and he didn't expect Berbatov to have this trick at all, so he hit the goal in a hurry and hit the ball into the stands.

Although there was a mistake in this attack, it created a lot of threat, and if it could attack like this again, the hope of scoring would be even greater, so the United players still applauded Berbatov and Wayne Rooney.

Blackpool are naturally not satisfied with a one-goal lead, and with a victory almost guaranteed relegation, Blackpool undoubtedly hopes to score another goal to extend the score and seal the win.

Therefore, when Manchester United made offensive mistakes, Blackpool also inserted counterattacks from time to time, using Manchester United's backfield space to do problems.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Nani broke through two defenders in a row and stuffed the ball straight to Evra, who crossed from the left, and Blackpool goalkeeper Kirks made a quick attack and beat the ball out of the penalty area before Berbatov. At this time, Gao Xiaodong's eyes were fast, he pushed the defender who was following him closely, rushed to the landing point of the ball like lightning, and did not wait for the ball to land, and faced the ball at about thirty meters is a volley.

Gao Xiaodong's volley is a skill given by the system, kicking the ball so fast, the action is standardized like a textbook, the ball hits the instep of the foot, the pressure is also very low, the ball flies low first and then high, the players on both sides who have crossed the defensive area suddenly fall, and fly into the net against the lower edge of the crossbar.

2-2！

Just 8 minutes into the second half, Gao Xiaodong equalized for Manchester United with a volley!

After the goal, Gao Xiaodong was extremely excited, he ran to the stands with his hands high, and then lifted his shirt, which read: "Manchester United is the champion!"

The Manchester United fans in the stands went crazy, they jumped up, crowded to the guardrail, waved their arms and shouted his name at Gao Xiaodong.

Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, was also so excited that he rushed out with his arms raised and shouted at the pitch: Good, good!

Allardyce hammered the wind shield hard, he was almost angry! Another long-range shot! He had already strictly guarded Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot, but he didn't expect to be broken by Gao Xiaodong with a long-range shot.

The goal was a lifesaver for Manchester United, and it was fatal for Blackpool, who went from heaven to hell, watching the Manchester United people celebrate in despair, and wondering, is Blackpool going to lose?

In the VIP box, Joel jumped up and shouted at his brother: How is it, I know that Xiao Dongxing is coming!

Efram didn't speak, but he was also smiling, although he didn't like Gao Xiaodong, but he absolutely liked the championship, because the championship means a lot of money, as a businessman, how could Efram not like money.
