Chapter 59: Stunned

“gooooooooooooooooal! Ibrahimovic leaps to the top to score and open the scoring for Blackburn! It was his 19th league goal of the season! Second only to Arsenal's king Thierry Henry. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ibrahimovic roared and leapt up from the ground, running with open arms to Benayoun who was assisting him, shouting at Benayoun excitedly. Then the rest of his teammates rushed up and surrounded him, but Benayoun took the opportunity to step aside - Ibu's bear hug was too powerful!

"This kid has a lot of power...... "Benayoun thinks now.

Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Blackburn Rovers in the 14th minute with his leap to the top, but will Liverpool, who are aiming for the title, give up on their laurels?

The answer is obvious, no!

The game started again, and the Liverpool players looked determined, and it was clear that Blackburn's goal did not bring them down, but only stimulated their blood.

Owen kicked the ball out gently, and when Husky received it, Owen stopped caring about the ball and rushed straight forward, and Husky then quickly passed the ball back to the back.

After a few passes, the ball came to Gerrard's feet, and he didn't let the ball stay at his feet for a second longer, as soon as the ball rolled over, he sent the ball to the left front.

Borg stopped his football and looked up. Immediately after, he slammed his foot on the spot and pumped it hard!

Long pass!

A long pass that spans almost half a pitch!

From the moment Borg received the football, Owen seemed to break through the clouds and fight from behind Blackburn's entire backline!

Carvalho, who was at Blackburn's backline, raised his arm to signal linesman Owen for offside. But the linesman ignored it and just followed Owen on the downward run.

Standing on the goal line, Friedel reacted quicker than his defenders, and when he saw Owen out of the backline, he decided to abandon the goal.

At this time, regardless of whether Owen is offside or not, Friedel has to ensure that the goal is not lost.

The ball quickly fell between Owen and Friedel, but it was clear that Owen was much closer, and the next moment the England golden boy soared into the air.

At the same time, Friedel jumped to his feet, stretched out his body in the air, and spread his arms like a net towards Owen.

Owen volleyed in the air and flicked the ball in the air, and the ball changed direction slightly, passed under Friedel's armpit, and rushed towards the goal.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

"Oh! Can't believe it! Liverpool equalised just 1 minute after Blackburn's goal! It was a quick goal! Martin Taylor shouted excitedly.

"Is this an equalizer?" The Blackburn players and fans looked so unbelievable in one of the few Reds fans who were in the rave of the Reds.

However, Owen's speed at his peak was so unreasonable!

For Liverpool to equalize so quickly, not only did Mourinho not expect it, but the Blackburn players did not expect that Liverpool's goal would come so quickly.

Liverpool's goal left Blackburn a little stunned!

But Blackburn is definitely not a soft persimmon that is deliberately pinched casually, and after being equalized by Liverpool, the players on the field soon completed self-adjustment.

In fact, this game is a little bad for Blackburn, because Arsenal, who are in third place behind them, are 2 points and 1 point less than Liverpool and Blackburn respectively, so a draw is still barely acceptable for Liverpool, but for Blackburn, it is undoubtedly a disaster, so compared to the Reds, Blackburn will play more aggressively.

Ibrahimovic receives a pass from a team-mate just outside the box. Although he scored a goal in this game, he didn't feel very comfortable overall, because the opponent raised the defense line relatively high, and he was accidentally offside. And the opponent's two central defenders are also very tight, and there are no good opportunities in the penalty area, only to withdraw from the penalty area to get the ball, but the threat of taking the ball outside the penalty area is much smaller.

Ibrahimovic was looking for a passing target, and when he looked up, he was flooded with people wearing Liverpool's red shirts. Ibrahimovic hesitated for a moment, and the ball was cut off at his feet.

Things on the pitch seem to be back to parity, with Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool locked in a stalemate in midfield, with both sides heavily engaged and battling it out here.

Neither side has any grievances about this stalemate, because neither side is worried about it, especially if the score is back to a draw.

In particular, Mourinho built Blackburn, which was based on defensive counterattacks, slowly attenuated with the opponent, consumed the opponent's patience and fighting spirit, made them impatient, and then waited for an opportunity to counterattack and lead again, and the situation became extremely favorable.

The current situation is to compete with the patience of both sides and the ability to grasp the holes in the opponent's instantaneous defense.

The football was under the control of Liverpool, Gerrard passed the ball to Borg on the right side with some embarrassment under the bag of two people, who and Reeser made a combination on the side, Reese resolutely stepped forward to lure Blackburn to pay attention to him, but Borg suddenly passed to the middle, Owen unexpectedly rushed forward against offside, and received the ball where it was not offside!

There was another terrifying noise at Ewood Park in an attempt to disrupt Owen, but could England's golden boy be affected so easily?

Friedel made another timely move, trying to block the angle of Irving's shot.

Owen shook off Friedel with a feint and then dribbled past the goalkeeper and "tole" the ball into Blackburn's goal.

"Owen scored twice! Liverpool overtook the score 2:1! Blackburn is not good! ”

After the goal, Owen and Rither and others laughed and hugged each other, but the coach on the sidelines Mourinho frowned, he knew that this score made Blackburn already standing on the edge of the cliff, and there was no room for retreat.

If the end result of this game is a draw, then Liverpool still have a chance of squeezing Arsenal out of goal difference and winning the league title with a goal difference, while Blackburn Rovers will be on the line.

What's more, the current score is that Blackburn are behind, and if they want to win the league title, they will have to score at least two more goals than Liverpool in the following game time to have a chance.

Only frantic attacks and goals can keep them alive!

So after another kick-off, Blackburn launched an all-out attack.

However, just when it seemed that Liverpool's defence was about to be destroyed by Blackburn, the format of the pitch changed dramatically.

After Liverpool broke the ball at the back, Murphy got the ball and then made a through stop, Owen got the ball, took advantage of the situation, and wanted to dribble into the penalty area.

At this point, Heskey has slipped diagonally into the box from the other side, and as long as Owen gets the ball to the feet of his striker partner, then the latter will once again face Friedel, and even if Heskey is lame, this chance is very likely to score.

Just as Owen was about to plug the ball down the wing, Paolo Ferreira made a sliding tackle and kicked the ball off the touchline.

But when Paolo Ferreira kicked the ball out of bounds, his other foot was also brought to Owen's footfoot, who landed on the ground in a pretty standard-eating position.

"Dididi!" The referee's shrill whistle sounded at Ewood Park!

'Now let's see what the referee will do, because Paolo Ferreira has already had a yellow card. Martin Taylor's response was quick.

"It's definitely a foul move!" Mortensen commented: "It should also be a foul to get a card, but given that Paulo Ferreira has already had a yellow card before, and this penalty is likely to affect the ownership of the league title this season." Under these combined factors, perhaps the referee's decision will be a little different. Okay, let's see what the referee has to say about ......"

A touch of yellow!

The referee on duty first showed a yellow card to Paulo Ferreira, then two yellows turned into one red, and one red card was pulled out again!

Although the whole Blackburn team surrounded the referee and argued, it did not change the bad situation, and the referee still upheld the original decision. Frustrated, Paolo Ferreira accepted the comfort of his teammates and could only walk off the pitch slowly with a sad face!

In fact, Paulo Ferreira's yellow card is somewhat unjust, but it is because of his move that the current Blackburn is extremely passive, because the game has been going on for more than 40 minutes, Blackburn is about to face a goal behind, and the situation of playing one less person is really stepping on the edge of the cliff.

In the last minutes of the first half, Liverpool attacked aggressively in an attempt to kill the suspense of the game, and Blackburn, who were ten men, only barely parried, but fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half, and Liverpool did not score again. , the two teams entered the break with a score of 2:1.

"Is it really going to fall short?" Arthur watched his players and Jose Mourinho stream in through the tunnel with a sad look on his face.

But at this moment, he is really powerless.
