The second half of the game continued, and the first ten minutes of the exchange of venues were tacit and wanted to gradually master the rhythm of the field, and the United side showed no impatience for a one-goal lead.
As for Blackburn, at halftime, Ancelotti asked the players to sneak attack at the beginning of the second half if they had the opportunity, but if the opponent did not give too many loopholes like now, the situation on the field must be stabilized, and only after stabilizing the situation can it be possible to move an effective counterattack, so he gave an order to Blackburn's field, and the rhythm of the team must be stabilized at the beginning, as for the attack, it is not the main thing for the time being.
But in the 10th minute of the second half, Blackburn's edge finally showed!
As fans and reporters expected, after Blackburn Rovers took control of the situation in the second half, Blackburn launched a frantic counterattack, and United's desperate defense continued the fierce scramble of the first half.
Alonso played the ball quickly, Bale flew at high speed on the left, and Park Ji-sung, who was caught off guard, was easily broken through.
Bale sprinted all the way down to the bottom and broke through O'Shea's defence to deliver a quick cross.
Substitute J Ronaldo Drogba scrambled to hit the goal, and the focused Friedel struggled to block the ball. The ball bounced into the box and Fabio scrambled out of the box.
The ball flew not far and fell in front of Lampard, Park Ji-sung fell to the ground and tackled, and at the same time, Lampard was also brought down on the turf, and the referee, who knew at half-time that he had indeed made a major mistake in the first half, did not hesitate to pull out the first topaz card of the second half and give it to Park Ji-sung, and awarded Blackburn a well-placed free-kick.
Frank Lampard consulted with Marcos Alonso and Bale before standing behind the ball and it appeared that he wanted to take the free-kick.
Although Bale's free-kick is more powerful than Lampard's, this free-kick position is more suitable for Lampard with his right foot, and Bale's penalty may not be effective.
Manchester United also seemed to be careless against Frank Lampard, with Carrick and Fabio forming a five-man wall.
The referee blew the whistle for the penalty kick and Frank Lampard took a few steps and swung his right foot into the ball, and Friedel, who was guarding the goal, winked his eyes!
Unfortunately, Lampard was under too much pressure and a little bit more force and angle, and the ball flew into the air and fell above the goal.
Frank Lampard watched the ball nervously until it landed on the top of the goal, and he held his head in his hands in frustration.
Friedel poked the ball on the top of the goal, patted it, put it on the line of the small penalty area, and saw that the referee was already signaling him to serve, and immediately kicked the ball towards Fabio.
Torres launched a counter-attack on the spot, Fabio no longer loved the ball and quickly passed it to Carrick.
Frank Lampard pounced on it and Carrick crossed to the receiving Park Ji-sung, who touched the ball to Ryan Giggs on the wing.
Alonso suddenly perked up, and gritted his teeth with open hands and stuck in front of Giggs. Ryan Giggs picked up the ball and slowly picked up speed towards Alonso.
Alonso took a few steps back, and at that moment, Giggs's body suddenly burst forward, and the ball landed behind him.
And Giggs dragged his left foot and knocked it, the ball bounced up, Giggs was also very close to Alonso at this time, the ball was knocked by Giggs's left foot, and the back knocked to Park Ji-sung, and the South Korean did not stop the ball and directly kicked a short pass over the top.
The ball flew over the heads of Ryan Giggs and Alonso, landing behind them, and the prepared Giggs brushed Alonso in the blink of an eye, quickly caught up with the ball and stabbed it hard, and the ball rolled quickly towards Blackburn's backfield.
Giggs kicked at his feet, his speed instantly increased, and he chased the ball with Ivanovic, who ran out of the penalty area, and Alonso, who was chasing frantically, and then Alonso suddenly realized that the ball was almost in the hinterland of his own position.
Although Giggs was a little farther away than Ivanovic, he was extremely fast and stepped on the ball first, and quickly crossed, Rooney pressed Kompany's header, and Berbatov did not wait for the ball to land, lifted his left foot and pumped sideways.
The ball raced towards goal, and Cech, who had already conceded two goals, was in excellent position this time, holding the ball from Berbatov firmly in his arms.
The corners of Berbatov's mouth twitched, and he cursed himself for wasting a very good opportunity, turning around and running out of the penalty area.
Although the goal didn't go in, it shocked Cech and all the Blackburn Rovers players in a cold sweat.
In the second half, the battle between the two teams in the midfield was dazzling, and the rapid transition between attack and defense made the fans in the stands forget the passage of time.
Petr Cech flicked the ball to Ashley Cole, who quickly flicked it through to Lampard and the magic lamp was on the way to United's position at the back.
Ryan Giggs was sideways on Lampard's running line, and Lampard didn't hesitate to get close enough to suddenly pass the ball to Alonso.
Alonso was defended by Park Ji-sung, who saw that Park Ji-sung was experienced in front of him, so he made a move to make a move back to Lampard, and after attracting the attention of many Manchester United players, he unexpectedly handed the ball to Bale on the left.
But just as the football was about to fly in front of Bale, a red figure rushed out.
O'Shea, who had been acting as Bale's backdrop for the game, made a contribution this time, and before Bale stepped forward to catch the ball, he rushed to the previous one and slid the ball to the ground, the ball was broken, and the ball rolled straight towards Carrick.
Carrick didn't wait for Thiago Silva to come up for a tackle and quickly crossed to Ryan Giggs on the left.
This time Lampard didn't wait for Giggs to receive the ball and put it in the tackle, Giggs was taken aback and hurriedly jumped up, and the ball was shoveled back into the middle by Lampard.
Alonso took a leap to get the ball ahead of Park Ji-sung, but the breakthrough was impossible, and he had to play the ball to Ozil again.
The battle between the two teams in the midfield was dazzling to watch, and the quick transition between attack and defense made the fans in the stands forget the passage of time.
More than 60 minutes into the game, both teams had only one shot on goal in the second half, and neither team had yet to score.
It was Manchester United's sideline ball again, Giggs was responsible for sending this sideline ball, Rooney followed, looked at Giggs and gasped and said: "Give me the ball later, I'll try it once." ”
Giggs nodded but didn't speak, his physical strength was also consumed, and he didn't want to waste much physical strength when he spoke.
The referee blew the whistle for the kick-off and Ryan Giggs gently tossed the ball to Rooney for a swift run back to the left.
Rooney passed back to Park Ji-sung and turned and ran into Blackburn's backfield.
Before Park Ji-sung could take a few steps forward from the ball, Alonso came up to him. The Blackburn Rovers, desperate for an equaliser, simply didn't want to give United another chance to dribble comfortably.
Carrick ran to meet Park Ji-sung and played a one-two with Park Ji-sung to break through Alonso before Ashley Cole and Kompany pounced.
Park Ji-sung stopped carrying the ball and quickly passed the ball to Rooney.
Rooney watched his teammates as he ran, and in the penalty area, Rooney was alone, and Park Ji-sung and Carrick were watched by Blackburn's players.
Rooney sighed in his heart, and could only choose to break through. Facing Frank Lampard and Marcos Alonso, Rooney flicked the ball with his left foot and then quickly rounded Lampard from just outside the touchline and ran towards Blackburn's back.
Rooney clenched his teeth, he didn't use too much force to rub the ball out, but the ball flying in the air was always faster than the player running on the ground.
Rooney's running time again was extremely fast and significantly improved.
Kompany gritted his teeth in the box and slid desperately towards the spot, with Lampard getting farther and farther away from Alonso and Wayne Rooney.
Rooney ran past the linesman who was struggling to run to the baseline outside the sideline, and his body suddenly jumped, and his outstretched right leg hooked the ball that was about to touch the lawn, and then flicked inside, his body made a sharp stop, and he turned to the ball and ran to the Blackburn Rovers penalty area, just running desperately to pass Kompany, who couldn't hold his feet.
The Manchester United fans in the stands and the fans in front of the TV suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering frenzy!
Only Ashley Cole was left to watch Rooney's Blackburn Rovers in the penalty area, and when Frank Lampard, who was running back frantically, rushed back to the box, Rooney was already facing a desperate Petr Cech in his eyes.
Wayne Rooney deceived Petr Cech with a right-footed shot and then flicked a soft lob from his left heel that flew past Petr Cech on the goalline.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
The Manchester United fans in the stands went completely crazy, roaring along with the Manchester United fans around them, vowing to break through the clouds that blocked the sun.
“3:1!3:1!” Manchester United's commentators were celebrating like crazy, as if Manchester United had won all the trophies in the world!
"Now we're two goals ahead again against Blackburn, we've almost killed Blackburn Rovers and all that awaits them is defeat!"
The TV guide kept replaying Rooney's ball, then chasing it frantically, to bursting into the Blackburn Rovers penalty area and shaking off the goalkeeper's easy shot. The fans of the TV were fascinated by it, and they didn't know how many people's dreams were awakened by Rooney's goal, and how many people were angry.
"Shit! This damn it, damn it! Arthur in the stands cursed angrily, and at this moment he had no time to care about maintaining his demeanor on the television broadcast.
