Just as Arthur was thinking about the referee's PR problem, the second half of the game had already begun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first ten minutes, the two sides of the exchange of venues had a tacit understanding to gradually master the rhythm of the field, and Arsenal had an advantage in strength because of a one-goal lead, and they were not impatient, and they did not seem to want to waste too much physical strength to solve the opponent.

Blackburn, on the other hand, is still gathering heavy forces to stand on the defense, because at halftime, Souness repeatedly emphasized that the team's rhythm must be stabilized at the beginning of the second half, and as for the attack, Souness is ready to fight to the death at the last moment.

The reason why Souness has this idea is because he has the idea that he should win with less loss, and believes that his team is not as strong as his opponent, and a small loss is not a failure. But he didn't know that it was his actions that made Arthur in the top box shake his head.

"Graeme is a good coach, but definitely not a championship coach, although he is still young, although he was unruly in his playing days, but as a manager, he does not have the temperament of a brave man who meets in a narrow way." Arthur has long been slightly dissatisfied with Souness, in fact, if it weren't for the shyness at the beginning of the season, perhaps Blackburn's manager would have been replaced.

"Fortunately, Graeme's contract expires this season, so let's get together and disperse when the time comes." Souness's fate in Blackburn was thus decided by Arthur.

At this moment, on the field, the players of both sides fought fiercely in the midfield, Arsenal because the last round of the Premier League game was three days ago, although it had the advantage of sitting on the home field, but the physical fitness was not as good as Blackburn from afar, so it could only maintain parity with Blackburn in the midfield.

As the game entered the 73rd minute, Blackburn Rovers were the first to make a change with less than 20 minutes to go, as David Dunn, who had been inactive in midfield, was replaced by striker Didier Drogba.

Souness is a clarion call to his players to fight back - if they don't start counter-attacking, then Blackburn will have to euthanize this game.

After David Dunn went off, Blackburn changed the formation to 4-4-2, Drogba and Ibrahimovic acted as the forward partners, and the twin towers attacked!

Just four minutes after Drogba came on the pitch, Alonso sent the ball to Ibrahimovic, who suddenly passed it back and then pushed Petit who was clinging to him and began to accelerate.

Alonso and Ibrahimovic cooperated very tacitly, seeing Ibrahimovic suddenly accelerate, he immediately pushed forward, and Ibrahimovic got a chance to break through.

The Arsenal midfielder also raised the attention of Ibrahimovic, and when he saw that Ibrahimovic had a chance to break through, he immediately had players to make up for it. But Ibrahimovic was not reluctant, Benayoun on the right reached high for the ball, and Ibrahimovic sent the ball to the wing.

Benayoun, who has been hailed as the best right winger in League One this season, has been on a rampage and before the Arsenal defenders can react, he slams inside and is about to hit the back of the net.

However, Arsenal's midfield reacted in a timely manner, and under the command of Keown, the core of the defense, the back line was moving quickly, and Adams stepped forward to defend Benayoun.

Although Adams is nearly 35 years old, he is still very strong and full of pressure, and the pressure on Benayoun is too great.

"Pass, Joseh!" In the face of Adams, who kept stretching out his feet to harass him, Benayoun only cared about bowing his head to protect the ball at his feet, and there was no chance to cut inside or cross, when he suddenly heard Ibrahimovic's voice in his ears.

Since Benayoun was facing away from Arsenal's goal, he hurriedly looked up and saw Ibrahimovic running with all his might.

Ibrahimovic didn't know when he had run to Benayoun's side, and Benayoun didn't know how Ibrahimovic got rid of Keown's defense, but none of that mattered.

With a hurried glance, Benayoun sensed Ibrahimovic's approach, and immediately flicked the ball towards Ibrahim, opening up space with Adams, ready to meet Ibrahim.

The moment Ibrahim received the ball, no one cared about him, he firmly controlled the ball at his feet and rushed into the penalty area, five meters, four meters, at this time Keon reacted, he quickly pounced on Ibrahimovic, without making a judgment, then Ibrahimovic was about to burst into the penalty area!

However, Ibrahimovic did not hesitate to knock the ball to the left, Benayoun has been seen dead by the veteran Adams, who else will be in the front of the Arsenal penalty area, Blackburn?

Damian Duff!

Blackburn hit the ball in three lines, Duff shook off Winter Bourne with absolute speed, and easily got the ball, Keown panicked, temporarily changed the defensive line, and pounced on Duff not far away.

But Keown soon regretted it, because he found that Duff didn't want to break through on his own at all, and he simply completed a one-to-two with Eevee.

What's even more terrifying is that Arsenal's back line made a mistake, and Adams was also taken away by Benayoun, and Ibrahimovic's eyes suddenly opened up.

Ibrahimovic was also quite excited at the moment, he didn't expect that Arsenal's backline would give him such a good starting space.

Of course, Ibrahimovic, who loves and hates Arsenal, will not be polite to his opponent, gently smashing the ball into the penalty area.

Arsenal fans were terrified of the Anglo-Swedish striker who seemed to have stepped into the penalty line, because at this moment in the open field in front of Ibrahimovic, only Seaman could stop him.

With a huge gap in midfield, Ibrahimovic seemed to be ready to hit the back of the net at any moment, and he had the best final preparations.

Seeing that Ibrahimovic was ready to shoot, Adams, who was staring at Benayoun, was anxious, although he knew that it was unlikely that he would be able to block Ibrahimovic's shot if he rushed over now, but he still rushed to Ibrahimovic, who was 7 meters away from him.

Adams didn't fantasize that he could stop Ibrahimovic with his body, he only hoped that his momentum could bring some pressure to Ibrahim, after all, the opponent was only 19 years old, and Adams hoped that the young and immature Ibrahimovic would be mentally nervous and kick the ball away.

However, youth not only means immaturity, but also the fierceness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and in the face of Adams's diagonal insertion, Ibrahimovic is full of momentum and poses for a shot.

His right calf was raised high in the air, and it was clear that it would be a powerful punch.

Some Arsenal fans closed their eyes in agony, the Swedish striker was unmarked, and even football lovers would not have missed such a simple goal, so how could the top scorer in League One make such a mistake in the second half of the season?

Of course, there are also fans who hope for the Arsenal goalkeeper Seaman, who is standing in front of the goal with a serious face and constantly adjusting his posture, and the latter has no shortage of magical performances to save the team at key moments.

Of course, there are also home fans who hope that Ibrahimovic will kick in the air or step on something because of a moment of nervousness.

But for a striker who is determined to take revenge, will such a good opportunity be easily let go?

Ibrahimovic took a step from outside the penalty spot and volleyed vigorously, and the football flew a meter in front of Adams, who was blocked, and hung in the upper right corner of the goal, and He-Man, who was standing in front of the goal line, could not do anything at all!

“gooooooooooooooooal！”

1:1！

Ibrahimovic equalised for Blackburn!

And the moment the ball crossed the goal line, Ibrahimovic rushed to the corner flag area like crazy, and a slippery kneeling wreaked havoc on the lawn of Highbury Field!

"Haha! Suffer death, you bastards! Ibrahimovic was excited, even though he was completely underwhelmed by the match against the 'ageing' centre-back duo of Keown + Adams, both of whom are about to turn 35.

But for a striker, just scoring a goal is enough!

All the previous embarrassment will disappear with this goal!

And the Blackburn players who followed Ibrahimovic also followed his example and began to kneel one by one, rushing towards Ibrahimovic, the hero of Blackburn's game!

Blackburn Rovers players hugged and cheered in Arsenal's corner flag area!

“goal！ 1：1！ In the 83rd minute, Blackburn, who was a guest at Highbury Field, finally equalized! Time is running out for Arsenal to win the game at home! ”

The Arsenal fans in the stands booed, and Arthur couldn't contain his excitement in the boo, clenching his hands into fists and throwing several punches in front of him like a boxer.

"Cool!"

As Arthur watched his players gather around to celebrate the goal, he felt a little bit of confidence in the future of the team.

Arsenal are still very young this season, and Blackburn Rovers with many flaws can be evenly matched, so what opponents will they fear next season?

The FA Cup was established on 26 October 1863 and was based on a knockout stage in which a draw would result in a home-and-away replay, followed by extra-time and penalty shootouts.

So if Arsenal can't win Blackburn Rovers at home in this game, then the two sides will have a replay at Blackburn's home stadium, Ewood Park, and at that point, the balance of victory and defeat will really tip in Blackburn's favor.

In addition to Arthur's previous plans to improve the advantage of the home field, Blake's young players on the field will inevitably make great progress in the next meeting with Arsenal after the tempering of this game, and it is not yet known whether Arsenal, who are distracted by the league, can come up with today's main lineup.

After scolding the visitors, the Arsenal fans quickly sat down and continued to watch, but their mouths continued to curse, and it was clear that they were aware of the situation that was not good for Arsenal at the moment.

Arthur sat down and was in a good mood to even open a bottle of red wine from the Arsenal hierarchy.

"Drinking wine and watching the game, this life is not too comfortable!"
