It turned out that when Bale was about to step into the top of the penalty area, Zabaleta, who was originally on the side, made a quick diagonal insertion and took the first step to roll Bale over with his body, but the power of Bale's forward rush was so great that the Argentine defender was also knocked to the ground.

There was no doubt that it was a foul, and the referee immediately awarded Blackburn a free-kick and Zabaleta couldn't escape a yellow card, but if it hadn't been for Sabaleta's "hug and fall", and Bale had rushed into the Manchester City penalty area, then not many people were optimistic that Vidic and Kolo Toure would have been able to stop Bale from forming a shot.

This time, when Blackburn took a free-kick, Bale was still receiving treatment on the sidelines, and this time Zabaleta hit it was not light.

Bale kept his eyes on the pitch and flailed his fist in excitement and then regret when he saw Baines' free-kick almost hit the back of the net.

After this accident, the first half was quickly over, and Blackburn returned to the dressing room with a 1-0 lead.

Back in the dressing room, Carlo Ancelotti asked Bale about his injury, even though he had asked the team doctor many times on the sidelines.

After learning that Bale was indeed fine, Ancelotti couldn't help but teach him a few lessons, because now Bale is an indispensable baby in the eyes of the Italian coach.

In the end, it wasn't until Ancelotti saw that time was running out that he let go of Bale, who had been nodding his head and "admitting his mistake".

After the second half of the game changed sides, the curtain was opened again.

This time, there was no more temptation between the two sides, but gradually increased the pace of the game, and Blackburn slowly pressed the lineup out at this time, and began to pave the way for the subsequent attack.

At the start of the second half, Mancini signalled that the team's three lines could press forward appropriately. After all, they are still one goal behind, and Manchester City's defense was "tortured" by Bale in the first half, but this also means that Blackburn's attacking intensity may not be able to maintain the whole game.

The forward movement of the front also had a certain effect. Alonso and Frank Lampard were much more heavily tasked with defending and City kept their attacking strings high for the first ten minutes of the game, with Alonso and Frank Lampard busy and Suarez and Torres up front.

And all that improved after Carlo Ancelotti's first substitution on 66 minutes.

Carlo Ancelotti replaced Mesut Ozil, who had been playing well in the game, Suarez and Gareth Bale dropped back, Frank Lampard and Alonso formed a back two, and Blackburn's line-up changed to 4-2-3-1, strengthening the depth of the midfield and the intensity of the counter-attack.

Although Ronaldo is not as organisational as Ozil, his speed and breakthrough ability are better than those of the German midfielders, and he and Bale have one left and one right, which relieves Bale of some burden, allowing Bale to have more opportunities to rush to the vicinity of the box to receive the ball.

Manchester City's attack, combed by Yaya Toure and David Silva, began to put pressure on Blackburn in layers, almost in waves.

On many occasions, Blackburn's defence looked like it was about to crumble, but it was thanks to the constant running of Frank Lampard and Marcos Alonso in midfield, coupled with the extraordinary play of Phil Jones, that it was possible to defuse the opposition again and again.

Blackburn Rovers were no slouch in attack, with occasional long-range strikes from Suarez and Kompany's corner from the start of the second half almost breaking Joe Hart's goal.

Under the competition between the two sides, football has changed hands frequently.

And at this time, a turning point suddenly occurred on the field.

During an off-the-ball run, Bynes suddenly signalled to Blackburn's dugout to make a substitution, and with Ashley Cole just recovering from injury and not fully recovering, Ancelotti had to let Darmian warm up in a hurry and replace Baines.

The 27-year-old has gradually changed from Ashley Cole, who is four years his senior, to the main position of the Three Lions and Blackburn Rovers since the beginning of the season, and his unexpected departure has completely disrupted Ancelotti's pre-match set-up.

That's the sad thing about a manager, even if your tactics are perfect, you can always encounter such unexpected things that are beyond the control of the gods.

However, Carlo Ancelotti did not have time to think about it anymore, because Manchester City had already targeted Blackburn's left side as an assist at this time, and Darmian had not had enough time to warm up, and he was under a lot of pressure as soon as he came up, and Kompany had to keep an eye on their side at all times.

And Bale and Suarez also consciously put some pressure on Zabaleta when attacking, so that he did not dare to press the assist on Darmian's side at will.

However, City's ability to catch such a fighter was too strong, and David Silva and Naris combined to attack Blackburn's left flank, and Darmian immediately sounded the signal of danger.

Zabaleta dribbled the ball and inserted an assist, Darmian's thin body immediately lost his position under Zabaleta's continuous squeezing, and Darmian's speed suffered very much in this high-intensity confrontation, and he soon couldn't suppress Zabaleta's breakthrough.

As a last resort, Kompany could only passively step forward to fill the position, and at this time, the last thing Blackburn wanted happened.

Zabaleta took the first step into the box with a cross and Aguero, who had been wandering around the game in search of opportunities, was finally rewarded by his tireless efforts.

Sergio Aguero swooped in with a header at the back post, and this time Cech was no longer magical, with the ball scurrying towards the top right corner of the net with incredible power.

"Bang!"

This time Cech was unblocked, but was denied by the post of the Rose Theatre and bounced back onto the turf in Blackburn's six-yard box.

Phil Jones, who reacted in time, drove the ball directly out of the bottom line, and at this time, it was most important to destroy the ball first, and if he turned to kick the ball, who knows what the situation would be, it would be dangerous to protect Blackburn's goal.

Manchester City's corner!

This time around, apart from Joe Hart, Chloe Toure and Klich, eight other players were crammed into the Blackburn penalty area, seemingly determined to win the corner.

David Silva repeatedly placed the ball around the corner flag area, while the box was a mix of blue and black and white.

David Silva sent a corner from the left, was he looking for Balotelli and Nemanja Vidic in front of the post?

Kompany and Frank Lampard, who were also at the front post, were shaken up, but it soon became clear that Lampard's pass was not for Balotelli or Nemanja Vidic, but for the boy Yaya Toure who had been forgotten by Blackburn Rovers at the back post.

In fact, David Silva has long seen Yaya Toure's movement, which is a regular tactical arrangement in Manchester City's corners.

When Yaya Toure started running, Blackburn's box was chaotic and no one cared about the black, hard guy.

In the eyes of the Blackburn players, they only remember the black midfielder who concentrated on defending in this game, and forget that his ability to score goals is also good.

And just in the negligence of the Blackburn players, football finally came to Yaya Toure, and the timing was just right!

In the face of this rolling football, Yaya Toure stepped forward very hard with every step, and then he used all his strength to leap for life!

"It's ...... Yaya Toure's shot! The narrator shouted loudly.

In the midst of his shouts, Yaya Toure slammed the ball into the top of her head, and the ball slammed and flew towards the goal!

It was perhaps the highest quality header Yaya Toure has ever had this season.

Cech sprang into the air and stretched out his arms.

But after all, most of Petr's attention was on the front point, and the Spanish goalkeeper was really powerless about the shot from this back point.

The ball got past Petr Cech and hit the inside of the far post, grazing the post and bouncing into the net......

The Rose Theater, which had been chattering non-stop, suddenly fell silent.

In the silence, the cheers of Manchester City's players and fans are particularly clear and harsh

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！”

"Yaya Toure! Yaya Toure! At the critical moment, Manchester City's key man stepped up! ”

Yaya Toure did not run wildly after the goal, but turned around and clenched his fists with both hands, looking up to the sky and howling.

He really did it!

He blasted through Blackburn's goal!

Soon he was overwhelmed by his teammates, who slapped him on the shoulders and on the head. It hurt, but he felt like he was dreaming.

It's a dream to score such a beautiful and important ball at the Rose Theater Dream Theater.

The 1:1 situation at home is very unfavorable for Blackburn, and such a score makes Blackburn naturally very unwilling.

The equaliser was equalised in the final stages of the game, which made Blackburn's players very uncomfortable, yes, very uncomfortable!

It's always been Blackburn's turnaround, so how can it be the opponent's turn to turn around?

With this in mind, Blackburn didn't hold back at the end, but threw themselves into the attack, hoping to score another lead in the final minutes.

Suarez took the ball to the middle and found a way to link, and just then, Vidic suddenly stepped up.

Suarez struggled with the veteran throughout the second half, and although he was at the bottom, Vidic never made Suarez feel better.

"Hmm, are you coming again?" To be honest, Suarez had a bit of a headache, and the stalking trick was originally useless for him, but today he ran into Vidic, which made Suarez feel painful.

He never gave Suarez enough distance and opportunity to sprint, following him every time he was close and not far away, and Vidic would rush up at the slightest sign of starting a game.

Vidic remained silent, but it put a lot of pressure on Suarez.

"Damn, I can't believe it!" As soon as Suarez gritted his teeth, he was about to start looking for a breakthrough.

As soon as Vidic saw it, he immediately rushed over.

Suarez's mind flashed and he immediately dismissed the idea of passing, as his team-mates didn't have the same chances as he did, and once he managed to break through Vidic's defence, he would have a second or two to shoot with all his might on goal.

Suarez began to step out of his bicycle to confuse Vidic's judgment, but Vidic was unmoved.

Faced with this appearance of Vidic, Suarez's heart suddenly became irritated for no reason, and he didn't want to continue like this. Vidic had been playing for so many years that Suarez suddenly decided to come to a hard court.

The rhythm of Suarez's feet in front of him suddenly changed, and Vidic's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Suarez wanted to do. With Suarez's movements, Vidic made a mirror move and got stuck directly in front of Suarez.

Suarez slammed his right heel and pushed the arch of his left foot, and the ball immediately slipped between Vidic's legs.

"Good chance!" Suarez slammed his feet hard and instantly drilled past Vidic's side.

At this time, Vidic's disadvantage as a veteran was completely exposed, although he wanted to follow Suarez back to the defensive ground, but his feet were no longer obedient.

But how can Suarez, a dangerous man, break into the Manchester City penalty area?

Just past Vidic, he didn't expect Vidic to have a kick in his back, and he directly put Suarez to the ground.

The move earned Vidic a yellow card and the last of the game.

However, it was the foul that allowed City to prevent Blackburn's last chance to open the scoring, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game shortly after Bale took the free-kick.

In the end, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers won the top battle, Manchester City drew 1:1 with Blackburn, who has been invincible recently, so that Blue Moon is still at the top of the standings.

This result also made Blackburn fans and Arthur quite unhappy, because after Arthur took charge of the club, in this six-point battle of strong dialogue, Blackburn's side has long been accustomed to winning, crushing the opponent under their feet, and now?

"Carlo ...... It's a little tricky. Arthur shook his head gently, Ancelotti is a very good manager in all aspects of coaching ability, emotional intelligence, etc., and is deeply loved by the club's top management and first-team players, but in this kind of strong conversation, Ancelotti is not completely satisfied with Arthur.

Change of coach?

Although Ancelotti's contract is far from expiring, Arthur has such a thought in his heart.

"Carlo, let's see the results after the season." Arthur is finally ready to give Ancelotti a chance, after all, the current Blackburn is not bad, right?

That's not bad, though, and it doesn't meet Arthur's expectations that Blackburn must be super strong.

Not bad, not enough. (To be continued.) )
