In the sixth minute of the game, Blackburn Rover's striker Dwight York, who was once one of Manchester United's "black winds", relied on his ability to pass Delap and the central defender Rundkwan near the Southampton penalty line, and then dodged a low shot, Southampton's goalkeeper Niemi couldn't save, and the ball grazed the post and went into the net. Pen ~ fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info York's goal helped Blackburn Rovers lead Southampton 1-0 away from home.

Mark Hughes shook his fist in celebration after seeing the goal and was excited, as if the victory had been in his pocket.

Chen Zhun was helpless about this goal, he knew that his players had done their best, and this is the embodiment of the charm of the stars on the football field. The St Mary's fans were not frustrated by the goal conceded and sang the Southampton anthem in unison from the sidelines.

Chen Zhun also applauded the players on the sidelines, and mobilized his body to arouse the players' self-confidence. The players on the field did not lose confidence and still organized the attack in an orderly manner.

After taking the lead, Blackburn started defensive tactics, which surprised Chen Zhun a little. With just fifteen minutes to go, Mark Hughes was so bold that he would only drive himself to a dead end. But this situation has also solved a lot of problems for Chen Zhun, and he can still follow the tactical deployment formulated before the game, and then hope that his forwards can seize the opportunity.

With Blackburn Rovers taking a surprise lead, Southampton had to start controlling the tempo of the game on the pitch and playing possession.

However, Mark Hughes's wishful thinking didn't last long. In the 19th minute, Anders Svensson found Fernandes on the right with a long pass from midfield, but this time Fernandes did not choose to cross or knock back into the box. He faced Michael Gray, who was inflexible in his footsteps, decisively first used his skillful feints to shake off the grabber Gray, and then cut inside along the penalty line, Gray couldn't react, his body was a few seconds slower than his brain's reaction, and then used the fast foot frequency to shake off Barry Ferguson's defense, Fernandes shook a shot angle, he decisively got up and shot, his shot made a beautiful curling ball, the ball was fast, the angle was tricky, and it hung into the far corner of the goal. The whole shot action was done in one go, without the slightest delay. Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel was helpless about the kick. Nice long shot!! Pretty World Wave!! The atmosphere inside the St. Mary's Stadium boiled for the first time with this goal!! Fans chanted Southampton's name. Southampton equalises with lightning!! After the goal, Fernandez happily ran to the fans stand to celebrate.

Chen Zhun was so excited to see this beautiful world wave that he shouted, then slapped the grass, and then hugged everyone in the coach's box, and the tactical routine he deployed before the game had begun to show results. He told his two wide players before the game, especially the Frenchman Fernandes on the right, to dare to use his dribbling and speed to attack the opposing full-backs.

Mark Hughes paid the price for his conservatism. He sat in the dugout with a sad face.

After the equaliser, Southampton's morale was high, and the attack threatened the Blackburn goal again and again

In the 23rd minute, Anders Svensson's free-kick was barely tipped over the crossbar by Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel.

In the 29th minute, Crouch's cushioned shot in front of goal was miraculously cleared by Emerton on the goal line.

The Southampton team seems to firmly occupy the initiative on the field, but when there is an absolute opportunity on the field, the Southampton team's attacking line cannot grasp the opportunity well, and such initiative is basically empty.

Slowly, Southampton began to fall upside down on the pitch after a long period of inconclusive attack. This is not allowed by Chen Zhun, he thinks that such too many useless backs will only make the players' attention gradually relaxed. Sure enough, what Chen Zhun feared about what happened turned out to be a reality.

In the 35th minute, Anders Svensson, the core of the midfield, continued to organize the attack, he passed a short pass, trying to find Delap on the right, but the two did not have a tacit understanding. The ball slipped behind Delap. Barry Ferguson got on the ball and he had just noticed that the Southampton defence had moved forward. Blackburn Rovers were ready to start a counter-attack, and Barry Ferguson sent a long ball over the top to find the heart of the attack, Dwight York. At this time, York, who was cruising between the Southampton team's central defenders, suddenly started and successfully countered offside, and he instantly opened the distance between him and the Southampton central defenders. When Southampton's centre-backs turned to chase after him, they found that Yorke was almost on the penalty line. York is in!! He faced goalkeeper Nemi, who came out and was ready to disrupt York's one-on-one goal. Yorke then took aim at the middle of the field, and just as Niemi was about to touch the ball, he made a light push with the arch of his foot and passed it to Sted, who was unguarded in the middle. Stade scores with ease! 2-1, Blackburn once again overtook the score. Southampton also paid the price for their carelessness.

Chen Zhun on the sidelines was also furious when he watched the conceded goal, and he was very dissatisfied with the complacency of the players on the field. He slammed the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground.

The first half ended with a score of 2-1. In the final ten minutes, neither side created good chances.

In the Southampton dressing room, the atmosphere was oppressive and serious, and a storm was inevitable.

Chen Zhun couldn't control his emotions, he saw the trash can at his feet, kicked the trash can to the ground in anger, and shouted angrily at the players: "I'm very dissatisfied with your performance in the first half, you guys played like." You don't have any desire to win on the pitch, you don't have enough to eat, do you think you're an Arsenal team, invincible, you can win games by kicking? Cheer me up in the second half, give me a fierce attack, a fierce defense, open your eyes, take your steps, and let the arrogant guys on the other side know our true strength!! Remember, don't let your fans down!! If you are still playing on the pitch so absentmindedly in the second half, then I will say ugly things in the front, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

It was the first time for the players to see their manager so angry, recalling their various mistakes in the first half, and they were also holding back their strength to really play their strength.
