Chapter 16: Victory to the Peak (I)

Just after beating Real Madrid to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, Blackburn Rovers also ushered in their 35th round of Premier League matches against Wigan Athletic, who have been in poor form this season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ahead of this round, Blackburn Rovers are seven points clear of second-placed Manchester United and will most likely be the game that will seal the Premier League title this season.

It is worth mentioning that this is the 250th official match for Blackburn.

The game was played in the drizzle, and the cameras of the Rose Theater once again found Emma Watson, who was smiling in the stands cheering on her boyfriend's team, which also showed that the rumors that she had broken up with Arthur were untrue during this period.

At the start of the first half, Blackburn, who were playing at home, dominated possession.

Wigan Athletic's intensive defense in the middle of the opening game greatly limited the play of Torres and Drogba, although both of them are not bad dribbling skills at their feet, but it is very difficult for two big men with a height of more than 180cm to deal with the opponent's pressing in a very small space, and also to cooperate.

Fortunately, Torres was still able to quickly dial the ball under the pressure of the opponent and firmly control the ball at his feet, and Blackburn was not able to be counter-attacked by Wigan Athletic.

"Didier, let's switch places!" Torres shouted a reminder of Spain's golden boy.

In the previous game, Drogba's performance was to quickly kick the ball, run a lot and pull it, and use simple cooperation to hit the ball to the side, which greatly wasted Drogba's offensive ability.

Torres's solid fundamentals and improved footwork compared to last season were vividly displayed at this time, Wigan Athletic's En'Zogbia continued to use his body to carry Torres, but Torres only relied on his body and used the small skills of plucking, pulling, and buckling to protect the ball by his side, so that Wigan Athletic never broke the ball.

Drogba was not idle, he frantically searched for space to intervene in an attempt to shake off his opponent, and the Wigan Athletic players who followed him finally gave up on him and pounced on Torres.

The opportunity is fleeting!

Torres played a right-footed pass through to Drogba, who took advantage of the time difference between the opposition players to return and distributed the ball to Bale, who followed up on the wing.

Fernando Torres swooped into Wigan Athletic's box, while Drogba roamed just outside the middle of the box, opening up space for Bale from afar and being ready to come forward.

The opponent in front of him was not slow, and Bell subconsciously flicked the instep of his foot, and then suddenly started to break through, and the side of his tall body stuck the opponent at his side.

Figueroa didn't expect Bell's speed to be so fast, and in a slight stunned, his body slammed into Bell hard, using his experience to intercept Bell's breakthrough route again, and the two were entangled again.

"Hey! Over here! Just when Bale couldn't break through Figueroa's defence, Drogba had already taken the first step to Bale and shouted at Bale for the ball.

Bale quickly passed the ball back to Drogba and then slid forward to the baseline. Torres, on the other hand, moved quickly outside the box to open up space for Bale.

Drogba did not stop the ball in the face of the opponent's front and back scramble, and directly pushed the ball to Torres.

N'Zogbia was the first to flank Torres and block his path to cut inside.

But he didn't expect that Torres suddenly moved his legs and directly leaked the ball and rolled to the bottom line, and Enzobia was caught off guard by Torres turned to get rid of it.

The ball that received Torres's leak was Bale, who went down early, and the unguarded Bale easily got up and passed back with his feet.

Bale's crosses have reached the top of Europe this season, and as soon as Torres turned away from N'Zogbia, Bale's cross was comfortably in front of him.

As soon as the ball was watched, Torres fired a crisp volley into the near corner of the net with the ball rolling against the turf, and Wigan Athletic's goalkeeper Pollit did not react.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

Both Bale and Didier Drogba rushed towards the goal-scoring Torres, who clenched his right hand and stood in front of Wigan Athletic's goal and yelled.

This goal, regardless of passing, running, getting rid of it, a flash of inspiration and the final shot in one go, it only took a few seconds for the Torres trio to direct a wonderful combination with three passes and one shot!

It was the combination of this set of combination punches that stunned Wigan Athletic!

There was a burst of cheers in the Rose Theatre as Blackburn fans celebrated the goal wildly.

Bale ran to Torres with excitement on his face, pointed at Torres and jumped on top of him, screaming excitedly.

Drogba also rushed to join the celebration with a smile on his face.

"Didier, a beautiful pass! The straight plug of the scalpel! Bale also high-fived Drogba happily.

The manager of Wigan Athletic stared at the Blackburn Rovers players celebrating on the pitch in amazement. He couldn't figure out how the team's defense could be torn apart by the opponent so easily?

Compared with the confusion of the away coach, Ancelotti on the other side smiled indifferently, applauded twice, and walked back to the bench with his hands behind his back.

Don't worry too much about the next game, Carlo Ancelotti can see that these boys on the field are in good shape, and if this trend continues, they will soon completely seal the victory of the game.

"Fernando Torres!" The entire Rose Theater resounded with Torres' name in unison.

Fans chant their names in unison to show their affection for the players, and Torres was the absolute protagonist of this season's Rose Theatre.

Torres smiled a little shy when he heard the fans chanting his name for a long time, and tens of thousands of people throughout the stadium chanted "Fernando Torres" in unison, which made the players on the field feel shocked.

The match started again with the cheers of the Blackburn fans, who cheered like a war drum rumbling in Torres's heart, making Torres feel his blood boiling.

Torres rushed to Wigan Athletic's door with a fierce momentum, trying to take advantage of his power to swallow his opponent.

Didier Drogba and Gareth Bale were also excited, and they could all feel Torres' excitement as they sprinted towards Wigan Athletic's half.

The excitement up front drove Blackburn's attacking rhythm, and Wigan Athletic quickly retreated to the front of the penalty area after an unsuccessful attack, blocking Blackburn's first wave of impact.

Just when they thought that Blake would slow down the pace and slowly turn their feet to look for opportunities, they did not expect Bale to make a fake pass, Torres retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area, flicked the outside of his left foot with his back, and turned and volleyed.

Before the Wigan Athletic player could keep up with Torres, his shot grazed the post and flew off the line.

"Whew!" The audience resounded with a cry of regret.

The Wigan Athletic players were shocked into a cold sweat and looked at the goalpost a little sluggishly, glad that God was on their side this time.

Two minutes later, Alonso whipped in a quick free-kick at the back and Torres broke through with the ball again, and the Wigan Athletic players would not make the same mistake as three people quickly pounced on Bale to block it.

Bale was unmoved, quickly slotting the ball at his feet, Drogba once again pressed against the centre-back behind him, and with a smash of his right foot, the ball passed between the three and fell in front of Torres again.

"Beautiful!"

Torres yelled with joy in his heart, did not burst into the box at all, and fired a powerful volley directly from outside the box.

The ball draws a high line in the air and flies extremely fast towards the back corner of the goal. Wigan Athletic's goalkeeper Pollit struggled to make a leap to make a save, but he couldn't touch the football.

Torres raised his hands in celebration, but the shot hit the post and bounced back into the field, and the Wigan Athletic defender was shocked to clear the ball off the sideline, and the score could not be rewritten.

"Oh, damn it!" Torres flicked his hand down and failed to score to make his celebration look humiliating.

The Wigan Athletic manager walked quickly to the sidelines and reminded his players loudly: "Drop back, pay attention to protect the front of the penalty area, don't let them pass the ball too easily, hold high in the middle, calm down, and follow our tactics!" ”

Torres's successive shots made Wigan Athletic a little scared, and immediately changed his tactics to defend the penalty area, losing is acceptable, but it must not be a big rout!

After Wigan Athletic changed tactics, there were still special personnel to mark Torres. Surrounded by opponents twice in a row, Torres had no choice but to retreat deep and wander back and forth with the opponent's midfield, trying to hook Wigan Athletic's defence out of the box.

This time he came to Drogba's right again, and after receiving Drogba's pass, Torres pretended to plug straight, but suddenly kicked his feet, twisted his body and cut inward, and began to dribble along the line of the big penalty area, and Wigan Athletic's Enzobia immediately put a tackle to block Torres.

Torres went down and Blackburn Rovers won a free-kick from the edge of the box.

Beckham and Frank Lampard stood in front of the ball and watched Wigan Athletic put on the wall, but Kompany in the box suddenly stretched out his left hand, circled his middle finger and thumb, and made a special gesture to Beckham covertly.

Beckham pretended to nod inadvertently, and when the referee blew the whistle, Beckham began to run, and when it looked like a powerful direct free kick, he just dangled a shot, tricked Wigan Athletic's human wall into jumping, and then made a through pass to Kompany, who ran to the left side of the penalty area.

The Belgian defender was facing the football directly with a powerful left-footed volley, at this time there were many people in the penalty area, and when Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Pollit could not see the trajectory of the football clearly, Kompany's heavy artillery shot had already run into the net, and even spun on the net for a moment before falling back on the turf.

2:0!

Pollitt knelt on the ground in a daze and looked at his teammates, his face full of innocence, grievance, helplessness, frustration, in short, a complicated expression.

Kompany, on the other hand, stood still and flicked his arms outstretched, coupled with his stinky fart, as if to signal to the fans that this goal was nothing.

At this time, a group of teammates who couldn't see it all rushed forward and tossed Torres to the ground, ravaging the stinky guy hard.

With just 15 minutes to go and Blackburn already ahead of Wigan Athletic thanks to goals from Torres and Kompany, a massacre seemed inevitable!

The game restarted, with Blackburn, who had a two-goal lead, temporarily retracting their attacking punches, and Wigan Athletic finally started the rare shot that pressed the Blue Devils' onslaught.

At this point, the Blues' two centre-backs, Vincent Kompany and Thiago Silva, have shown why they have been named Europe's number one centre-back duo this season.

Kompany and Thiago Silva were still domineering on the pitch, fighting for every ball without the slightest hesitation and tackling style as desperate as ever.

Wigan Athletic's players both flinched when they saw Kompany and Thiago Silva battling it out.

In a half-and-half scramble, Kompany, who had just finished scoring a goal, desperately slid a vicious tackle, and the Wigan Athletic player subconsciously jumped up to avoid Kompany's tackle.

There was a round of applause at the Rose Theatre, with fans liking the kind of players who are willing to work hard for the team, and even the Sky Sports commentator was full of praise for the reason why the Blues dared to let Vidic go last summer because of Kompany's presence.

Spurred on by the performances of Vincent Kompany and Thiago Silva, Blackburn Rovers soon showed their sharp and lethal fangs once again.

Torres dropped back to answer and Beckham handed the ball to Torres.

And when Torres looked at the door of Wigan Athletic again, his eyes flashed with madness.

Unable to break the ball at the first time, Wigan Athletic's midfielder watched Torres' movements cautiously to watch out for his sudden start. But be careful, on the pitch people are often overwhelmed, such as this time.

Torres suddenly started to break to the right, but the opponent carefully turned sideways and did not follow Torres to shift his center of gravity, and as he expected, Torres changed to the left again and quickly made a tackle to Torres.

However, Torres didn't change direction more than once, as he easily switched back to the right and shook him straight to the ground.

Torres was finally in the first place after receiving Ronaldo's words and deeds in the system

Torres' quick and consistent movements thrilled all Blackburn fans, and it had been a long time since the Rose Theatre had seen such a spectacular pass, and the decibels above the stadium were instantly raised, and everyone was cheering for Torres.

Successfully swaying past the opposition midfield, Torres dribbled straight into the Wigan Athletic penalty area, and Drogba once again pulled away to the left, opening up space for his attacking partner.

Torres quickly rushed into Wigan Athletic's penalty area from the right side, and Wigan Athletic centre-back Caldwell hurriedly stepped forward to defend.

Torres tried to knock the ball across to Drogba on the other side, but with a flick at his feet, he actually pulled the ball between Cardwell's legs, and deftly flashed his body to get out of Cardwell's block.

Wigan Athletic's goalkeeper Pollitt looked at Torres who suddenly appeared in front of him in shock, and was about to attack, but Torres is not the kind of brainless striker who will die if he is a goalkeeper after a single knife.

Torres poked his toes on the dribble and easily hit the ball into the far corner of Pollitt.

The ball slipped under Pollitt's fallen armpit and went straight into the net!

3:0! (To be continued.) )
