Chapter 51: Race against time
After the breakthrough, Bale steadied his rhythm and his eyes were wide open, with the nearest United defender more than 10 metres away from him, and that was enough for Bale to make enough handling. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, Bale was less than 10 meters away from the penalty area.
Unlike the panicked United defenders, Blackburn's players are excited at the moment, especially Blackburn's three strikers Drogba, Hernandez and Torres, who know that Bale can create enough threats at this time, and once he runs in a good position, then the ball will basically come to his feet in the next moment.
At this time, Drogba, who had already run out of the box, plunged into the middle of the Manchester United penalty area, Torres and Hernandez ran to both sides of the box from left to right, although they knew that Bale's shooting, breakthrough and passing were very good, but they also needed to help Bale pull enough space.
The three Blackburn Rovers have caught the attention of a sizable portion of United's defenders, who know they are no match for Bell breaking into the box, but how many defenders are there in total?
Caring for one or the other, Manchester United's defense was torn apart in an instant.
O'Shea can be said to have a deep hatred for Bale, and the Manchester United defenders have completely lost several meetings with Bale in this game.
O'Shea rushed out of the forbidden area with a foul air all over his body, and he needed a hard lesson from that hateful creature who had brought shame on him!
In the face of the angry O'Shea, Bale did not panic at all, and he tried with all his strength to break through into the penalty area. Looking at the galloping O'Shea, Bale pushed the ball forward a little harder, drawing circles on the ball with quick and fluent left and right feet.
Pedal a bike!
The Rose Theater burst into enthusiastic cheers, in recent seasons Bale more than once played cycling, at the beginning of Bale pedaling the bicycle skills were slightly jerky, far less than the once here Luo, but since last season, with the improvement of Bale dribbling skills, Bale has become one of the best players in the Premier League, not even weaker than Luo C before the transfer from the Premier League.
Of course, such a pleasing and fancy dribbling not only attracts the attention of the fans, but also the deceptive cycling technique makes the defender Bale dare not easily break through.
O'Shea is now in a dilemma, he looks at Bell who is getting closer and closer, and can only passively and carefully retreat slightly, he doesn't know what kind of action Bell will make in the next moment.
Bale didn't let O'Shea suffer too much, and after the third lap, Bale slammed the ball to the right.
O'Shea subconsciously stretched his leg to the right, thinking that Bell was a feint. But his judgment was obviously wrong, Bell was not a feint, he really rushed over O'Shea's left side with the momentum!
Bale, who burst into the box, immediately crumbled United's entire defence, but the Reds' defenders were also in a dilemma against the three Blackburn Rovers who had already pierced into the United penalty area, and they didn't know what to do.
Bale, who burst into the box, ushered in his third opponent and United captain Rio Ferdinand scrambled to make up for it.
But Bale was by no means a lone wolf at this point, and he gently lifted the ball over Ferdinand's head, who had just turned around and had already taken the ball with a cut Torres.
All the Blackburn Rovers fans in the Rose Theater saw Torres facing Friedel single-handedly, and they immediately shouted more excitedly, which instantly made the atmosphere in the stadium reach another **!
At this time, Friedel didn't think too much, and rushed towards Torres like a fire, now Torres has enough space to shoot, what Friedel needs to do is to block all the shooting space before the opponent has time to adjust the shooting corner!
Facing Friedel who was getting closer and closer, Torres rubbed his right foot under the ball just as Friedel was about to pounce on the ball at Torres' feet.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“33! 33! We still have a chance! ”
Torres didn't choose to celebrate after the goal, but pulled the ball out of United's net with Drogba left and right, turned and ran towards the centre circle.
Fernando Torres' goal came in the 86th minute of the game, and with injury time and less than 10 minutes to go, Blackburn had to score again if they wanted to win the league title and keep their season's efforts in vain!
The equaliser was not enough for Blackburn.
"Yes, that's it." Arthur in the stands finally smiled again, in fact, the outcome of the game, and even the ownership of the Premier League title this season, is not so important to Arthur, even if Blackburn Rovers can't get the final victory in today's game and let the Premier League championship trophy fall aside, but the game can fight to this point, it is enough.
Arthur is not the type of boss who only focuses on the results and does not look at the process.
Football is all about business and games.
When the game resumed, Blackburn seemed to want to take advantage of the momentum of scoring two goals in a row to kill the opponent quickly, but how could Ferguson's Manchester United be the kind of team that could be completely stunned with a single stroke?
Ancelotti stood on the sidelines, one foot was about to step into the field, he did not rush to wave his arms to signal the players to press up and attack, but continued to slowly press down with both hands, he kept waving his hands to signal the two wings to open the gap, and he signaled the forwards to step back a little to respond.
An Fat has learned from the fourth referee that the injury time should be about 4 minutes, so now there are 8 minutes left, Blackburn stabilized, attacked one move at a time, paid attention to the success rate, and may not have no chance to score.
Of course, in the last two minutes, Blackburn Rovers could not score, even if Ancelotti suppressed, Blackburn on the pitch would involuntarily press all the way to Manchester United's half-time attack.
Blackburn players gradually began to return to the usual rhythm and tactics, Ancelotti told the players on the field that the change is to let the Blackburn players gradually begin to calm down, only calm down, no longer big feet to the front, expecting luck goals, Blackburn on the field can play.
Gareth Bale and Marcos Alonso and Frank Lampard went back and forth around midfield, trying to calm down their team-mates quickly and pulling away the United defenders with plenty of back-to-back feet.
The previous blind breakthrough has made Manchester United's defensive players already dense, so what Alonso has to do now is to pull away the defense of Manchester United players and find the point that penetrates the opponent's defence.
After another knock back by Alonso, a diagonal pass sent the ball to the feet of Torres, who had retreated to the vicinity of midfield.
Torres didn't stick to the ball either, and the United defender pounced on the ball with a wide deflection that sent it to Bale, who was trying to cut in on the left flank.
Bale didn't push his way against Valencia, picking up his tempo a bit and smashing the ball across to the feet of Frank Lampard, who was quick to get in.
At this time, the United players also started to get up and running, and they didn't hesitate in the face of Frank Lampard, their defenders rushed straight at them, and all they needed was to completely cut off Frank Lampard's shooting path and block Lampard's breakthrough space.
Frank Lampard was also uncomfortable against the United players, and he was firmly attached to Evans after use, and under Evans's constant harassment, Lampard used all his energy to protect the ball at his feet.
Frank Lampard's strength is not particularly big compared to Evans behind him, and Manchester United's defenders also have more small movements, he constantly pushes Lampard's back with his hands, so Lampard looks like he wants to stabilize the ball at his feet.
At this time, Lampard also knew that getting into a fight would become more and more disadvantageous, so when Lampard tried to protect the ball, he also kept observing the position of his teammates on the field with his spare eyes, but unfortunately Bale was firmly entangled by O'Shea, Alonso also had Scholes by his side, and it became difficult for Lampard to pass the ball.
At this time, Lampard felt more and more difficult to protect the ball, and Lampard, who was eager to get rid of the entanglement, did not care much, Park Ji-sung and Evans were caught between the front and back and almost broke the ball again, and Lampard struggled to get the ball back.
Too late to look at the situation on the field, Lampard suddenly sent the ball to the right with a long diagonal pass, Lampard This is no way, knocking back is definitely not good, he has no good choice at all, so he can only choose to transfer the ball to the more open right before falling into the bag, he believes that there will be teammates looking for this vacancy.
Amid the exclamations of the United fans, Hernandez gradually closed in on Manchester United's left wing-back Fabio. He and Fabio went through a series of small tugs and pulls before touching the ball that was about to roll off the sideline.
Hernandez has a good technique at his feet, and although he has no room to break through or cut inside, Hernandez can still cause problems for United, and he and Fabio finally aimed for an open space to win the ball after a fierce battle.
Hernandez took the ball and sent the ball to the edge of the penalty area without looking at it!
Bet!
Manchester United's front of the penalty area was full of chickens and dogs, and Manchester United had been playing dense defense in the second half of this game, so Hernandez's pass into the all-man Manchester United box may not be able to create goals in confusion.
Seeing that he was flying in an arc towards the penalty area, Drogba tried hard to lean on the Manchester United defender, and after judging the landing point of the ball, Drogba and Ferdinand jumped at the same time to fight for the top.
Rio Ferdinand squeezed past Didier Drogba and headed Hernandez's cross near the centre line, but a sharp whistle blew the next second.
Because, Drogba fell on the lawn.
Suddenly, the boos on the pitch skyrocketed, and the referee avoided the entanglement of the Manchester United players with a serious face, strode towards the edge of the penalty area, and then reached into his jacket pocket......
