Chapter 47: The situation is passive
Cech picked up the ball from the goal in frustration and kicked it into the midfield, only to blame the opponent for shooting smartly for the goal he had conceded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Carlo Ancelotti stood on the sidelines and watched Torres put the ball on the halfway point, originally his Blackburn Rovers took the initiative, both in the box and in possession had a big advantage, but who would have thought that Manchester United would be able to catch a goal from the Blackburn backline and score a goal without tacit understanding, thus completely reversing the format of the game?
However, this is football, and anything can happen.
Manchester United's players are finally back on the pitch and the game is back in action.
Mesut Ozil received the ball from Torres and passed it to Bale on the left, and Carrick immediately posted it, Rio Ferdinand and Park Ji-sung both came to help, and it was clear that Bale was the target of their defense.
Bale calmly took a few steps, and when the three of them surrounded and there was a gap in the middle, he quickly passed the ball out of the middle of Carrick's three.
Mesut Ozil received the ball and quickly passed it to Frank Lampard, and by this time Torres had already run to the back of the field with Frank Lampard with the ball.
Park Ji-sung hurriedly ran back to the middle, but Carrick was still chasing after Bale, and when he was celebrating the goal just now, Ferguson specially called Carrick to his side and told Carrick to contain Bale's play on the left side.
It was only in this way that there was a hole in United's defence, Frank Lampard split J Ronaldo, Evans quickly stuck in front of J Ronaldo, J Ronaldo lost the angle of the shot, and could only knock the ball back to Torres with his heel.
Torres met the ball and hit the ball from a tight angle on the right side of the penalty area, but because of the angle, the ball grazed the post and bounced off the bottom line, and Blackburn once again missed the goal.
The Blackburn fans in the stands collectively made a voice of regret, and even the Blackburn commentator was a little depressed about Torres' goal: "Fernando's form fluctuated a little bit in the second half of the season, and this opportunity is a pity!" ”
Friedel sent in a goal kick and the two teams once again engaged in a fierce battle in midfield.
In general, the strength of the midfielders of both sides is much higher than Manchester United in terms of fame and strength, but in terms of the performance of this game, Blackburn's star players are a little worse.
The green field is not compared according to the strength of the stars, as if Blackburn Rovers are now superior on the field, but they are behind in the score.
Ryan Giggs wanted to break through Alonso's defence, a feint similar to "croquettes", but the king of the left at this time was not what he used to be, and the quick-eyed Alonso stretched out his leg to intercept the football, and then swept the ball to Ozil.
Ozil didn't stick to the ball and passed it directly to Bale, who took advantage of the situation and took a big stride to run.
The home fans in the stands began to shout wildly, and Bale sped away from the chasing Carrick, followed by another sharp inward cut, dodging O'Shea's tackle.
Blackburn Rovers shouted louder, while Manchester United fans booed wildly.
Evans scrambled out of the box and Bale sprinted to shoot at the United goal. Evans' face tightened, his eyes closed, and the fit was about to block the path of the ball's flight.
The ball flew extremely fast, Evans just had a turning movement, the ball grazed his shoulder and flew over, Evans's face turned pale, the ball just grazed his shoulder, he actually felt his shoulder hurt, and his heart was shocked by the strength of Bell's feet.
That is, after grazing Evans's shoulder, the ball changed direction slightly, and Friedel, who would not have saved the ball, coincidentally stretched out his palm to lift the ball out of the bottom line.
The United fans breathed a sigh of relief, then cheered, and then shouted Evans' name, but they didn't know that Evans was bitter in his heart, and if Bale shot from a distance, he didn't know whether to block it with his body.
Because...... It hurts so much!
Blackburn Rovers fans let out a frustrated sound again, and Arthur, who was sitting in the stands, looked at Manchester United's goal with a blank face, but his heart was frowning.
Although Torres had just won the Ballon d'Or in January, Blackburn's best performer in the second half of the season was not the new footballer of the year, but the "Great Sage" Bale, who had gradually grown up.
It can be seen from Manchester United's arrangement in this game that Ferguson deliberately let Carrick specifically target Bale, while Torres was a regular defence.
"From next season, the focus of the club will shift from Torres to Bale, both in terms of publicity and tactics." It only took a few minutes for Arthur to make the decision that would have the biggest impact on Torres and Bale's careers.
Ancelotti's face on the side of the pitch is very ugly, Blackburn's players on the field are not desperate, but the real state is still a little worse, after all, at the end of the season, Blackburn, who has been playing the goal chaser, is really strong.
Manchester United's attack, Evans received a pass and found Giggs with a long pass, Branislavic suffered a loss, and this time he cautiously stepped forward to defend Giggs.
Although Giggs is no longer young, who dares to underestimate him?
Giggs didn't break through directly, and passed back to Berbatov, who was following him, and Berbatov quickly passed to Park Ji-sung, who in turn passed to Rooney.
After a couple of mercury-like passes, the ball was passed to Rooney's feet, and by this time Lu Xiaopang had already reached the Blackburn Rovers penalty area, and Thiago Silva hurriedly stepped forward to make up for it.
"Not good!"
Thiago Silva was out of reach after all, and before he could get in front of Rooney, Rooney was already up and hitting the goal.
Rooney's shot was from a tricky angle, and more importantly, with great strength, Cech only stretched out in mid-air again in vain, helplessly watching the ball into the net.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
2:0!
Rooney excitedly ran to the fan stands, and when he passed by the cameras on the side of the stadium, he roared loudly at the camera lens, and Giggs and Berbatov and others behind him had already caught up, excitedly celebrating with Rooney.
The Manchester United fans in the stands have gone crazy to the point that the team has a two-goal lead, and Blackburn has not a very good chance of turning the tables around, which means that this season's Premier League title is getting closer and closer to the Red Devils!
Ancelotti shook his head helplessly, Manchester United's attack is far less gorgeous than Blackburn's, but pays attention to speed and efficiency, and you can shoot with three or two feet, and whether it is the two goals scored by Berbatov and Rooney, they all have the meaning of fairy balls, which is a small probability event, but today it just appeared.
Now that the game has only been 30 minutes into the game, Ancelotti, who can't sit still, is already preparing to start making substitutions in advance. This is also a forced and helpless move, otherwise who knows what kind of scene Blackburn will face when halftime is adjusted?
Compared to Carlo Ancelotti, Ferguson, who smiled with rosy cheeks, smiled and gently slapped his palms, turned back to the dugout and sat down.
Now that United are two goals ahead, it should be Blackburn Rovers who are anxious.
In Ferguson's view, as long as Blackburn is in a hurry, Manchester United still has a chance to score and win this league "final", which is just around the corner!
After the restart, perhaps stimulated by Ancelotti's preparation, or the bottoming out of 2 goals behind, Blackburn's players did not lose confidence in tying the score, even if they were 0:2 down, but there was still time for Blackburn to surrender.
The Blackburn Rovers players with Torres as the arrow roared and launched a wave of attacks on Manchester United's position, and the Manchester United players also knew that the period after the goal would be a period of time for the opponent to attack, so they were also prepared to retract the line under Ferguson's plan, as long as they were above Blackburn's three-board axe, the situation would be much better.
Once Torres and Bale had the ball out, it was like two cheetahs scurrying into the United penalty area, with Mesut Ozil smashing the ball across to Frank Lampard, who quickly passed to Ronaldo and rushed into the front of the pitch.
Ronaldo deftly dribbled the ball at his feet, broke through Carrick with a pull and flick, and scurried towards the back of Manchester United.
Rio Ferdinand hurried out to intercept him, but Lampard followed and drew Rio Dinand's attention.
Evans and Park Ji-sung immediately ran over, Ozil immediately ran into the front, and Park Ji-sung had to run back to the middle to guard against Mesut Ozil. Together with Carrick, who was chasing back, Manchester United's right side gathered five players from both sides for a while.
J Ronaldo's pass to Frank Lampard caused Rio Ferdinand's body to shift his centre of gravity and quickly poke the ball past Rio Ferdinand, but he quickly overtook him from outside the touchline, broke through Ferdinand's defence, and caught up with the ball to cut in quickly.
Friedel's spirits tensed up, with the most dangerous Fernando Torres and Gareth Bale already running in the box, and Ronaldo would be very dangerous if he suddenly fired a cold shot.
Ronaldo watched the situation in the penalty area as he ran, and with a slight buckle of his feet, he dodged Fabio's save and burst into the box.
Fernando Torres and Wayne Rooney have already stirred up the defense in the Manchester United penalty area, and Ronaldo is ready to shoot at this point, and the opportunity is fleeting, and Ronaldo will not miss it.
J Ronaldo adjusted the angle and pace of his shot after running two steps, lifted his left foot and pumped hard, and the ball flew quickly against the turf towards the goal.
Fridel was horrified, and hurriedly stretched out his right foot to block, but it was too late to pounce.
"Bang!"
Friedel subconsciously stretched out his foot to block, but just happened to block Ronaldo's low shot.
Blackburn in danger?
