Chapter 60: The only way to fight for your life

Arthur would love to go into the dressing room at half-time, even if it's just to serve tea and water, but he knows that going in his own capacity will only be counterproductive, so he has to trust his players and believe in Mourinho's "magic". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, Arthur regretted that he was absent from listening to Mourinho's impassioned speech at half-time -

"Don't bow your heads.

Everyone has to hold your heads up when you start walking on the pitch in the second half.

We are not losers.

Don't forget who you represent?

For the sake of the fans you have to hold your heads high, you have to do it for them.

If you keep your head down, don't say you're a Blackburn player.

If we can create some chances in the second half, it will be possible to come back.

Believe in yourself, you can and will do it.

Give yourself a chance to be a hero. ”

As the Blackburn fans sang into the dressing room, Mourinho said to the players:

"Listen, we're 2-1 down now, but they're singing louder than ever. For their sake, go on. ”

(Jose Mourinho - Intermission, Ewood Park)

……

Jose Mourinho made changes to the lineup in the midfield, replacing full-back Finnan with Henning Berg, and Blake had three central defenders on the field.

At the start of the second half, leading Liverpool began to recycle their defence and deny Blackburn an easy chance to score. They play unhurriedly, they are ahead anyway, they just need to wear it down with their opponents.

Just fifteen minutes later, Benayoun was substituted, and after Paulo Ferreira was sent off in the first half, it was clear that he had spent more energy on the team's right wing-back, and although he did little to contribute to the team's attack afterwards, he was still applauded by the Blackburn fans.

It was Gyuli who was replaced by Jose Mourinho, and after the latter came on, Blackburn's attack began to come alive.

Blackburn Rovers began to launch a desperate counter-attack against Liverpool, as they already knew that there was no essential difference between a 2-1 defeat and a 1-10 defeat in the absence of a win.

Liverpool also have no time to look for space behind their backline, and defending with all their might during this time will be a top priority.

Blackburn Rovers controlled the ball, Alonso handed the ball to Frank Lampard, who broke through diagonally down the middle and saw the opposing two people in front of him, so he split the ball on the wing, and Gyuli followed up in time.

Gyuli did not choose to stop the ball, but took advantage of the situation to move the ball forward, and then rushed forward, shaking off Liverpool left-back Rieser who came up to block.

Riser reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and chased after him, not being distanced by Jiuli.

However, it only took a little space to cross from the wing, and Gyuli knocked the ball down the middle and then took advantage of the momentum to cross the ball so low that it could go around Hyypia and go straight to the penalty spot.

"Get out of here!"

Ibrahimovic roared hard and pressed Henjos to jump, his head held high, and he slammed into the incoming ball!

Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek was completely unable to react, Ibrahimovic's ball was very positive, but the force was extremely strong, and the speed was extremely fast, he had to watch the football fly from his armpit into the goal!

"Beautiful! Blackburn, who played one man less, stubbornly equalised! Now that the two sides are back on the same page, the final outcome of the race is still unknown! "Martin Taylor saw Ibrahimb jump against Henjos and was ready to shout for the goal. As a result, Ibrahimovic did not disappoint him.

"It's not just Ibrahimovic, Gyuli's crosses are handled beautifully!" Mortenson added.

These two commentators are completely hilarious, not too big of a deal, and the score of 2:2 will obviously make the game more unpredictable and more enjoyable.

Seeing Ibrahimovic score, Mourinho also rushed out of the coach's box with his arms raised in excitement. At this moment, Blackburn only need to score one more goal to overtake their opponents in the standings!

After the goal, Ibrahimovic was also flocked by his teammates, surrounded him, celebrated briefly, and continued to cheer each other on.

Blackburn Rovers were spurred up by Ibrahimovic's goal, and although there was one less man on the pitch, they still launched a frenzy against Liverpool, and they did not spare any effort.

However, before Blackburn could score again and equalize, there was a scene on the pitch that Blackburn supporters least wanted to see.

Liverpool midfielder McAllister managed to break through Cambiaso's defence and galloped down with the ball like a gallop.

Carvalho hurriedly stepped forward to block, but McAllister didn't give him a chance to get close, and immediately crossed diagonally into the box before the Portuguese defender could make a move.

The ball went over Carvalho's head and past the toe of another Blackburn centre-back, Henning Berg, in a sliding tackle!

Then, the hearts of all the Blackburn fans suddenly stopped.

The ball flew straight to Anelka, who was inserted diagonally into the box from the other side!

Nicola Sebastião Anelka!

Nicolas Anelka, the prodigal son of football, only returned to the Premier League on loan in December this season, joining Liverpool until the end of the season, and if it weren't for his temper, if he could stay at Arsenal, then the ceiling he could reach would definitely not stop there.

However, even so, Anelka is still the chilling killer.

Anelka, like a haunting ghost, suddenly appeared in the deadliest position when everyone was not looking, facing this half-high ball, and volleyed with his right leg!

The ball flashed like a bolt of lightning in Blackburn's net, and Friedel only had time to turn back.

"Your sister, I'll buy you next season and put you on the bench to die!" Arthur was furious as he watched from the box.

You must know that after coming to Liverpool, Anelka has scored two goals so far, and the second is the one just now, how can Arthur not be depressed?

"The last thing Blackburn wanted to see happened, and Liverpool rewrote the score again: 3:2! And Anelka's goal came in the 71st minute of the game, and it was not easy for Blackburn to overtake the score! Martin Taylor commented on the live broadcast with regret.

He's right, the game is over in less than 20 minutes, but Blackburn must score at least two goals at the moment and must make sure Liverpool don't score again to have a chance of reaching the top of the Premier League.

And don't ignore the fact that Liverpool now have the advantage of playing one more than Blackburn Rovers on the pitch, and the more you get to the end of the game, the physical advantage of playing one more will become more apparent.

All in all, Blackburn is already in the most critical moment at this moment.

Mourinho saw Anelka's excited performance after the goal, and with a wave of his hand, he quickly called out all the attacking players on the bench, who had already warmed up on the sidelines.

"Oh! Jose Mourinho's substitution was bold enough. Mortensen was a little surprised to see Blackburn's second substitution.

"It's a normal substitution, and if Blackburn doesn't fight now, he won't have a chance." Martin Taylor Road:

Mourinho's substitution was a complete gamble, bringing on Drogba and Helen Pierce for Duff and Cambiasso.

Black's formation was 3-2-4, with Carvalho, Stam and Henning-Berg in the back three, Marcos Alonso and Frank Lampard forming the midfield, and up front, with Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba partnering the twin towers, and Gyuli and Helen Pierce on the left and right wings.

This on-field formation is extremely unreasonable in normal times, but when it is fighting for life at this moment, it is extremely reasonable!

In the nearly ten minutes after the game was restarted, Liverpool could be said to be very embarrassed, and had been pressed by the crazy Blackburn, if it weren't for Liverpool's defensive advantage of playing one more person on the field, I am afraid that it would have been crushed by the whole team Blackburn.

"Hey! This way. Helen Pierce received a pass from Frank Lampard up front and had just shaken off a tackle from one of the opposing players when he heard Drogba shout.

Looking up at Drogba's position, Helen Pierce stuffed the ball into the box with a straight stop, and Drogba began to chase the ball quickly while resisting the Liverpool defenders next to him.

However, Helen Pierce's pass was a bit big, Drogba received the pass at a very small angle, and Dudek was just in the right place, Drogba had no choice but to force a shot.

But because the angle of the shot had been blocked by Dudek, the ball ended up hitting Dudek's leg and bounced off the bottom line.

Subsequently, Helen Pierce took a corner kick, but the pass was too close to the goal, and when the penalty area was crowded, Dudek chose to attack, jumped up in the crowd, and grabbed Helen Pearce's corner kick at the first point, causing the Blackburn players to slowly retreat one by one.

"Don't rush! Don't rush! Mourinho chanted at his players on the sidelines, recognising that both Helen Pearce's two successive passes and Drogba's shot were a bit impatient to find the back of the net, and that this mentality did not do much good for the goal.

However, the remaining time of the game at this moment could not be in a hurry, although the whole team pressed hard, but there was still no good chance to score, and the time went by minute by second.

As the clock ticked by, each second slipping seemed to mean that Blackburn was one step closer to defeat......

As the clock ticked by, every minute and every second that passed seemed to mean that Blackburn was one step closer to defeat......

Now Blackburn Rovers need 2 more goals!

The fourth referee on the sidelines had already held up a sign recording the stoppage time with the red Arabic numeral "4" on it!

That means Blackburn have only four minutes left to take their league fortunes into their hands this season!
