At the start of the second half, Blackburn Rovers were in an all-out defensive posture, leaving only Balotelli in front, while Argentine fast Madimalia roamed behind him on the flank, and Frank Lampard, the core of attack and defence, returned to his own half to participate in the defense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This scene is very familiar to Arthur, who watched the game in front of the TV, Blackburn Rovers played defensive counter-attacks after taking the lead or equalising many times during Mourinho's time.

Ferguson, who has a lot of experience in the game, also felt a headache, and under his signal, Manchester United recovered all the way, intending to attract the opponent out, find space, and then give the opponent a fatal blow, but unfortunately Blackburn was not fooled, because taking all three points was their goal.

As for whether the game is played well or not, then Manchester United, who are playing at home, should pay attention to the question.

Seeing the opponent's behavior, Manchester United had to press again, since you don't come out, then completely squash you, squeeze your space, and force you to make mistakes with continuous attacks until you collapse.

United's backline has basically reached the halfway point. If it weren't for the fact that there was no offside after all the players crossed the halfway line, Balotelli would have been the closest player to United's goal other than Friedel.

In the 56th minute of the game, Valencia received a return pass from Scholes at the front of the penalty area, and found that there was no good opportunity, so he simply chose to hit the goal outside the big penalty area, and shot angrily at the ball, the ball was very fast, and it was directly stuffed in the lower abdomen of the sad Ivanovic.

"Oh my God!" Seeing Ivanovic fall to the ground in pain, Arthur, who was watching the game in front of the TV, also gasped, because if the football moves another 5 centimeters downward, then Ivanovic is really going to have a big accident!

The referee also immediately stopped the game, ran to the ground and was about to convulse next to Ivanovic, to check the situation, but it seemed to be fine, but Valencia's shot was too powerful, and Ivanovic's lower abdomen hurt very much, but it did not cause essential damage, and the game was able to continue.

Blackburn Rovers stepped up their focus on the edge of the box to prevent a long-range shot.

A few minutes later, United created a free-kick that Valencia took was of very high quality, and Berbatov earned a rare first point, causing a wave of chaos in the Blackburn six-yard box, Scholes picked up the ball and poked it with his toes, and the ball hit the unknown body and bounced back into the crowd.

Franimi reacted the quickest and slotted the ball out of the box, but the ball was blocked by Quaresma, who may have forgotten to hide his hands behind him in a moment's hurry, and Flamini's clearance hit his right arm, before the astute Quaresma volleyed the ball into the net with his left foot.

1:1, Manchester United equalized in the chaos!

Just when the Manchester United players began to celebrate, the Blackburn players signaled to the referee that it was a handball, but the referee insisted that the goal was valid, which caused the dissatisfaction of Duff and others, and they were a little emotional, and the referee directly showed a yellow card to the most emotional Flamini to calm the matter.

However, with the shouts of Duff and Frank Lampard, the Blues players on the pitch took their anger out on the game. After United's cross up front was cut off, Blackburn counter-attacked.

Di Maria received the ball and sprinted with all his might, shook off the defenders and crossed the ball to Balotelli as he was about to enter the box. However, Balotelli dodged Ferdinand after stopping the ball and slotted it away to goalkeeper Friedel - he wanted to score too much, used too much force, and did not master the footwork of the shot after the stop, and United escaped.

The Blackburn fans sighed, Ancelotti, who was already preparing to celebrate, shook his hand in a huff, and Balotelli exhaled viciously and walked back, his heart full of depression.

And the players of Manchester United already thought that the ball would definitely go in, but in this case, there was a thought of escaping death.

The game went on and God did not punish Blackburn Rovers for squandering their chances, and this time United's shot broke through the Cech defence again, but the post denied Berbatov's goal, and the people who felt alive were replaced by Blackburn's side.

In an attempt to avoid a midfield decline, Carlo Ancelotti replaced Frank Lampard, who played the game against Real Madrid in midweek, and brought on Manchester United veteran David Beckham, while Owen also came on for Balotelli, the former England twin, to come off the bench.

This is also the first time that the former Red Devils have returned to Old Trafford since the departure of the former Red Devils, but this time they have become opponents.

Just when Manchester United fans were still lamenting Beckham's return to Old Trafford, and when England fans lamented that Beckham and Owen were playing at the same time again, Blackburn Rovers suddenly played a beautiful attack.

Duff dribbled the ball in the middle and split the side, Beckham took two steps and passed a deadly ball from the side, and Owen scored with a header from close range, 2:1!

The moment Owen holed the ball into the net, United's last line of defence raised their arms to signal it was an offside goal.

Seeing the referee's gesture to signal the goal to be effective, this made the Manchester United players quite dissatisfied, they insisted that it was offside, and surrounded the referee to beg for mercy, and the scene was quite chaotic for a while, and Ferguson was so angry that he kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him.

In the end, the referee had to suppress the Red Devils player with a yellow card.

"It's really offside." Those watching from inside Old Trafford couldn't see the goal, but it was clear from Arthur in front of the TV that Quaresma's handball and Owen's offside was clear.

"It's all a misjudgment, this referee is considered a negative or a positive!" Arthur, who was furious when Quaresma scored for handball, is now in a calm mood.

The Reds, who were once again behind, were forced to attack, but two minutes later, it was Blackburn Rovers who had another chance when Di Maria broke through on the flank, and it was only for a highly focused Friedel to save the ball.

A minute later, Ivanovic, who had the assist, came close to opening the back of the net for Blackburn.

Then, with Ferguson replacing Ryan Giggs, United's two wings began to be active, and the Red Devils' attack gradually opened up. Giggs, who had just come on the field, began to take the initiative to ask for the ball, and in the face of Ivanovic's defense, Giggsner did not use any fancy moves, directly used speed to eat the opponent raw, and then continued to rush towards the opponent's hinterland.

Blackburn three players at the edge of the penalty area to Giggs formed a circle, Giggs directly transferred the ball to the right side of the space, Anderson in front of the opportunity of course, directly down the cross, unfortunately the pass did not find their teammates, was cleared by the opposing defender, but let people see the change of the Red Devils.

The resurrection of the Red Devils' two wings also allowed Ferguson's tactical intentions to be successfully realized, and the breakthrough of Ryan Giggs and Valencia caused a lot of trouble for Blackburn, and their seemingly impregnable defense is now full of holes, because of the lack of fitness, their defense is disrupted by the Red Devils' two wings, and Berbatov, who responds in the middle, has a huge sense of pressure on Blackburn's backline all the time.

For the next ten minutes, United stormed around Blackburn, who resisted fiercely and were almost suppressed back into the half.

The game was fast coming to an end, with United having given up on their step-by-step attacking link-ups, hoisting the ball into the Blackburn Rovers box and then fighting for the spot, causing chaos. Although it seems to be in full swing, it is difficult to score goals as long as Blackburn Rovers do not make mistakes.

In stoppage time, Carlo Ancelotti replaced captain Duff with Phil Jones in order to kill the game, and the slow handover of two Blackburn Academy players sent boos to Old Trafford again.

The increasingly anxious Reds were unable to organise an effective attack and Blackburn were able to play a brilliant combination while relaxed, but unfortunately were never able to find the back of the net again.

When referee Mike Dean blew the final whistle at Old Trafford, veteran BBC correspondent Phil McNewty immediately said: "Now it's not about who wins the Premier League, but about what Ferguson said about Owen's offside goal after ......the game."

Indeed, in this season's league title game, Dean and the linesman's poor performance was more eye-catching than the red and blue players fighting for the title.

On Tuesday, the British media caused an uproar as soon as they announced who would officiate the Manchester United vs. Blackburn match. Mike Dean, the controversial man in black, is tasked with enforcing a crucial battle.

Just last week's Burnley clash with Chelsea, Dean 'created' a penalty. Blues player Olsen, who admitted after the game that he won the penalty by faking a fall, said: "I did it because Dean likes to take penalties [16 in 24 games this season], but I think he's likely to make another mistake against United and Blackburn Rovers and probably be overkill and not dare to take a penalty," said Blues Olsen, who admitted after the game to fake his penalty. ”

Sure enough, Olsen was right!

In the 26th minute of the game between Manchester United and Blackburn, when Quaresma dribbled into the penalty area from the right rib, just after entering the penalty area, Zhirkov stretched his leg to bring down "Brother Kimchi", but referee Dean refused to award a penalty.

The Guardian questioned the Guardian's live broadcast: "If Dean thinks it's not a penalty, then why didn't he give Quaresma a fake yellow card?" The decision not to pay a yellow card and not to take a penalty is so unreasonable. ”

Just when the controversy has not subsided, Manchester United at the other end has created problems for Dean. Gary Neville knocked down the Italian striker from the flank as he controlled the ball in the Balotelli box, and in the absence of protest from the Blackburn players, Dean was happy to slip the penalty again.

Burnley boss Rolls predicted before the game: "The club have named the referee the worst to award a penalty. Maybe Mike Dean will feel like he can't give any more penalties because of this, and he may hold back and don't dare blow for the penalty. ”

So when Frank Lampard brought down Dimitar Berbatov in the box just before half-time, it was more natural for Dean not to cross the pool by half a step.

In the second half, Dean still didn't have much to convincing the decision. In one of the scrambles, Ferdinand had already hanged the Frenchman from between Balotelli's legs, although Balotelli got up and controlled the ball again but was pushed and shoved by Ferdinand behind him, but Dean turned a blind eye and let Ferdinand "violate".

In the 64th minute, when Quaresma scored the equalizer after handballing the ball, the whole audience was in an uproar, because Quaresma's arm left his body was still relatively obvious, and the assistant referee's flag was not raised, and the goal was ruled valid.

However, United ended up being the loser. In the 79th minute, David Beckham crossed from the wing, and Owen was clearly in an offside position, but the linesman pressed the flag to the bottom and Dean didn't run into position at all.

Seeing that there was an offside position "a mile" away, Owen sent the ball into the United net.

Although the penalty was awarded to Quaresma and Balotelli on one occasion, the British press pointed out that this situation could not be seen as such, because there was a matter of order, if Quaresma's penalty had been awarded and United had equalised the score, then the game would have gone completely differently. But alas, Dean has made wrong decisions again and again.

Pre-match betting sites even bet on Dean that if he can award two or more penalties, they will pay bettors 10 to 10.

After the game, Ferguson was furious at the assistant referee's decision, believing it was a clear misjudgment.

'What I couldn't understand was that the assistant referee was standing in front of the ball and there was no one around him, but he made a mistake. Ferguson said bluntly.

'For such an important game, we really need quality referees, but today it was the opposite, and the referees were really bad, too bad. Ferguson was furious.

Now, Lord's Manchester United are seven points behind Blackburn Rovers with five games left in the league, especially after such a poor loss, it is understandable that the Lord is furious.

But don't forget, Ferguson has a "past", especially when it comes to refereeing.

When it comes to the title race, Ferguson is also a little lacking, "With five games to go, Blackburn are seven points ahead of us, eight more goals than us, and they are in an advantageous position. ”

"And they're in good shape right now, they don't have any problems, but I'm not going to give up. But I can't guarantee that we will win all five of our last five. Ferguson said with a slight disappointment.

Frank Lampard's cousin Redknapp said: 'As a player, if you don't run enough on the pitch you lose every chance to get the ball, but isn't that true for a referee? Dean has always made very few runs in the game, but he has always made a series of unconvincing decisions. ”

Some fans directly scolded: an idiot referee and a mentally handicapped linesman messed up the game.

But there is no doubt that Owen's controversial decision completely ruined United's title dreams, as there has never been a team that has lost more than seven games in the Premier League's history of 38 league games to win the title. (To be continued.) )
