Is there any hope for Blackburn?

Is there any hope for Blackburn, who are three goals down and have one man less?

"Shall I go down and have a look?" At half-time, Arthur initially had the urge to go into the dressing room to take a look at his team, but in the end he resisted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Trust Jose and the boys, I can only trust them." Arthur smiled bitterly: "Besides, what is the use of me going down?" Am I starting to become the leader of the Chinese Football Association who loves to hold meetings before the game? ”

"Maybe even if we replace Liverpool, Istanbul will still be a stage for miracles!" Arthur could only comfort himself with this.

At half-time, Mourinho looked at the players in the dressing room with blank faces and began his speech.

"Guys, do you hear the sound coming from the locker room next door? It's the sound of Italians celebrating! ”

"Listen to Shevchenko next door when he opens the champagne to celebrate the victory in advance, he has the capital, because any team trying to turn the tables from three goals down is a fool's dream, not to mention that this is the Champions League final against Milan, which is in full swing." Mourinho's loud shouting made all the Blackburn players in the dressing room lift their heads.

'We have 45 minutes to go, now we have to do not let the opponent score again, our fans are watching, we can't let them down!' Mourinho admonished.

Mourinho knew his words would not be decisive, but he knew he had to pass on his belief that he would never give up to the lads in the dressing room.

At half-time, Mourinho was forced to replace Claude Makelle with Heinze because of Stam's red card - and in the case of having to chase points, he had to abandon Makelele, a purely defensive engineer.

After a 15-minute break at the start of the second half, Blackburn's players were at ease, and although they may not be confident of an equaliser, at least they were no longer as flustered as they were at the end of the first half.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was slowly looking for offensive opportunities in the midfield, suddenly picked up speed, and Gattuso might as well be run out of the defensive circle by him.

Gattuso hurriedly caught up, and after Ronaldo ran out of a distance, he stopped the ball in a dashing manner, and immediately turned in the opposite direction, and then shook off Gattuso's chase again.

At this time, the football overtook Gattuso's defense in front of the penalty area, and Ronaldo took the ball directly to face the AC Milan backline. He dribbled horizontally along the line of the penalty area in an attempt to attract the defenders. But none of the players stepped forward to intercept them, and they all stared closely at the strikers around them.

Seeing this, Ronaldo immediately chose to shoot from a distance to solve the problem.

At this time, Kaladze saw that Ronaldo had rounded his legs, and couldn't help the idea of making meritorious contributions in his heart, and he took a step by surprise.

It was at the moment when Kaladze made a move that AC Milan's backline, which had managed to hold on, finally showed its holes.

The moment Ronaldo's round leg touched the ball, it turned into a surprising arch of the ball, and Kaladze immediately noticed that it was broken, but by this time he could not stop and there was no remedy.

I saw the football fly from Kaladzede to the unmarked Duff on the other side of the penalty area.

Duff's shot angle was not good, and there was an AC Milan player in front of him to block, so he chose the outside of his right foot to cushion the ball, adjusted his posture with a small movement, raised his right foot and shook it, and the football drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew to the penalty spot and the middle of the small penalty area.

Here, Frank Lampard, who had just stepped forward, got his hands on the football, but before he could make a move, he fell to the line of the six-yard box.

"Beep!"

The referee decided that Seedorf had brought down Frank Lampard and awarded a decisive penalty, and the AC Milan players were unhappy, but it was clearly to no avail.

Ibrahimovic's penalty didn't make any feints and opted for a low shot into the bottom left corner of the net, Dida was completely misguided, and the Swedish striker's spot-kick was converted in one fell swoop.

1:3！

The goal came in the 58th minute of the game and revived Blackburn's hopes of an equaliser.

"There's still time, come on, guys!" Arthur completely forgot that he would be caught on TV, just clasped his hands in prayer, at least for the moment as a regular Blackburn fan.

Blackburn's team, which has won back a city, is completely on the rise, but AC Milan's attack is not bad.

Pirlo near the centre circle received the ball and shook off Ronaldo's defence with a feint. Although Ronaldo intercepted in the midfield, he is not a full-time defender after all, so the defense of Pirlo is just a show, and it is naturally good to block it, and if it is not stopped, it can also be handed over to Campbell in the back.

After Pirlo got past Cristiano Ronaldo, he was standing in front of Blackburn's central midfielder, Marcos Alonso.

After Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League three times in four years and won the Champions League last year, Alonso is already hailed as a top 10 midfielder in the world, and his clash with Andrea Pirlo was a highlight of the game.

I saw that after Pirlo passed Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso saw an opportunity to stride forward and stab the football at Pirlo's feet.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was chasing, snatched the football that Alonso poked out, and then quickly passed it to Finnan, who was not far away.

Finnan used his body to protect the incoming ball, and one sideways deftly leaned away from the snatched Kaka, and immediately ran quickly.

Gattuso hurriedly followed, although his physical fitness was average, but it was extremely difficult, after Finnan protected the ball, he had lost a good opportunity to attack quickly, so he had to turn and pass to the right wing.

Who is Blackburn's right wing?

Cristiano Ronaldo is chasing after him!

I saw that there was still a young Cristiano Ronaldo bent his legs and arrows, and a long pass of more than 40 meters flew through the entire back line of AC Milan and accurately fell to Lampard, who successfully countered offside.

Ibrahimovic had already brought Nesta away and even caught most of Maldini's attention, with Lampard already facing the goalkeeper one-on-one when he received the ball.

Lampard didn't choose to continue dribbling the ball after stopping the ball in the box, volleyed from 8 yards out, and the ball flew past Dida's ten fingers into the goal!

2:3！

Blackburn Rovers are now just one goal behind!

"Oh!" The entire Ataturk Olympic Stadium exploded.

After more than half an hour of suffering, Blackburn fans finally had a glimmer of hope. It only takes one more goal and they will be able to miraculously equalize the score!

Rather than hug and celebrate with his team-mates and accept the fans' favourite cheers, Frank Lampard picked up the ball in the net with Ibrahimovic and placed it on the centre circle line for a quick kick-off.

The game was in the 67th minute and there wasn't much time left for Blackburn to equalise!

After scoring twice in the space of 10 minutes at Blackburn Rovers, AC Milan woke up from a dream, and at Carlo Ancelotti's shouts, they quickly calmed down and began to revert to the tightness of the first half, and the defence was impregnable.

As the game progressed, Blackburn's disadvantage of playing one less player and the players running out of fitness more quickly became apparent, Ibrahimovic, who had been battling with two top defenders Nesta and Maldini in the front, was no longer able to run, and Alonso and Frank Lampard, who were working alone and two people, were also starting to run out of breath.

"It's time."

Arthur glanced at the watch hand that had reached the 76th minute of the game, and Mourinho on the sidelines also rushed to the bench, called all the attacking players on the bench, and said loudly: "You guys hurry up and warm up again, always ready to play." Attack with all your might when you get on the field, leave all your defense to God, and attack with all your might! Now we're one point behind, and we're running out of options! ”

Deco, Larsson, Bentley, Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie and Drogba all warmed up with a serious face, not forgetting to explore the situation on the field.

Mourinho wiped his face deeply, the reason why he called all six players to warm up again was also with the intention of confusing Ancelotti, at least so that he could not see through his intention to wait for a real substitution in these few minutes.

In the 79th minute, Blackburn finally had a chance to kill the ball, and Mourinho played the last two cards, replacing the dragging Duff with veteran Larsson and Finnan with Deco.

"Oh! Blackburn is going to start fighting hard! All the commentators were amazed by Mourinho's change.

After Finnan's departure, Blackburn lined up a back three of Heinze, Carvalho and Marcos Alonso, with Ashley Cole, Deco and Frank Lampard forming the midfield, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Larsson up the front three. Blackburn's formation has become a more aggressive 3-3-3, and there is no doubt that Blackburn are going to be desperate at this time, and they must be desperate!

"I hope I can create a miracle, and I hope that the inertia of 'history' will not be affected by me." Arthur in the box said with a solemn expression.

After kick-off, Ashley Cole served the ball from the sideline, and after winning the ball, Larsson rushed directly to the AC Milan penalty area with the ball.

After all, the old Cafu on the edge of the penalty area was seriously lacking in physical fitness as time passed, and he almost didn't think about it when he saw the situation, so he shoveled towards Larsson's feet.

It's just that at the moment when Cafu moved his feet, Larsson gently pushed the football, and the football came to Ibrahimovic beautifully and accurately.

At this time, Ibrahimovic was covered with red and black clothes, without the slightest pause, and at the first moment of receiving the ball, Ibrahimovic chose to shoot vigorously on the line of the big penalty area.

Ibrahimovic has no choice, he has three AC Milan defenders around him, and their names are Nesta, Maldini and Gattuso, even Maradona can't keep the ball in this situation.

Although there is no danger at all in shooting from this angle, instead of being snatched away, it is better to try a kick and maybe a miracle will happen!

However, Ibrahimovic's hasty shot went wide of the target and Blackburn Rovers came back for the first time after a desperate tactic.

In the 85th minute, Blackburn Rovers made a comeback, Deco picked up a cross, and Larsson fired a left-footed shot from 12 yards out in the penalty area, and the ball grazed the crossbar.

Arthur stared at the court with a serious expression, although everyone was desperate, but the cooperation between each other was not patient, according to their level, this should not happen.

Obviously, the players on Blake's field have begun to subconsciously get anxious and panic!

There was not much time left for Blackburn, with the fourth referee on the sidelines already playing three minutes of stoppage time.

It also means that Blackburn can take advantage of the chance to successfully defend his title, with only three minutes left, 180 seconds left.

Everything depends on these 3 minutes, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and heaven and hell will be in a thought.

Stoppage time began, Cristiano Ronaldo led the ball to the wing, Kaladze quickly took a step forward, and the moment the center of gravity was drawn out, Ronaldo immediately passed the ball back to Frank Lampard who cut inside the middle.

Lampard broke through with the ball, Gattuso followed step by step, sticking to Gattuso like a dog skin plaster, seeing the gap where Lampard was about to pass, the Serie A butcher kicked his feet violently, and his body slid out against the turf, Lampard couldn't close his feet, and even the ball led people to the ground.

"Guy, watch your movements, be careful that I kill you!" Frank Lampard, who was wearing the captain's armband, got up from the ground and shouted at Gattuso for being too aggressive.

Mourinho watched his team unable to attack for a long time, and he was also very anxious, and finally couldn't help but shout at the players on the field: "Pass it, pass it!" ”

The game had come to the second minute of stoppage time, and the referee had already begun to look at his watch frequently, and Blackburn launched a final onslaught.

Larsson, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo and others frequently use their running positions to disrupt the AC Milan backline.

Deco cut off the ball that Gattuso wanted to pass to Kaka in midfield, took a look at the situation and sent the ball to the feet of Ashley Cole in front.

After Ashley Cole got the ball, he walked to the middle with the ball, looking up at the goal from time to time, Seedorf did not dare to be careless, he knew that Ashley Cole also had the ability to shoot from a distance, and he was close to his side.

Ashley Cole didn't get a good start on the left flank, took a look at the situation, suddenly accelerated, jumped out of an angle, and then raised his left foot high for a long-range shot.

Ashley Cole didn't want to score a goal, just a corner.

Seedorf hurriedly stretched out his leg to stop, and sure enough, Ashley Cole's shot hit Seedorf's body, but this time it was not Ashley Cole who grazed the opponent as expected, but played solidly, and the football completely hit Seedorf's side and rebounded to the left side of the edge of the penalty area.

Frank Lampard was activated the moment Ashley Cole's shot was blocked, shook off Gattuso's entanglement and sprang out like a beast to get a chance to get the ball first in front of Kaladze.

However, once Lampard chooses to stop the ball, he will be caught by Kaladze and Gattuso, and it is likely that he will miss the opportunity to attack, but the referee on the other side has begun to look at his watch frequently, does Blackburn, who gave up this opportunity, still have time?
