host must win

Chapter 629
While Blackburn was burning with anxiety, Manchester United's richer experience, coupled with the advantages of the score and the scene, allowed them to stand firmly in the midfield, actively adopt pressing tactics, and wait for the opponent to take the initiative to make mistakes.

During this period, Blackburn is not completely without opportunities.In the 29th minute, they once played a very threatening attack. After Bentley got the ball from the right, he passed it to the center, but Bellamy failed to hit the right position under the interference of Vidic. Hit the ball directly to the bottom line.

1 minutes later, after Manchester United intercepted the ball in the midfield, they quickly counterattacked again.Giggs dribbled the ball inside and then passed back to the left.Evra stepped in from the edge, dribbled the ball directly to the bottom line, and crossed to the front of the small penalty area.

Friedel decisively abandoned the goal and rushed to save the ball before Rooney.But the ball saved by this kick did not fly far. After Yin Jun received the ball, when facing Blackburn's defenders in the penalty area, he swiped the ball behind him with his left foot, turned around, and slammed the ball with his right foot. Push the empty goal directly.

The ball is in!
Yin Jun didn't feel excited at all this time. To him, the ball was just like picking it up. He spread his hands in a very ordinary way, accepting the congratulations of his teammates.

Blackburn's players slumped in the penalty area with a look of frustration.

The score of 0:3 made them really desperate!

Before the game, each of them was still full of confidence. Unexpectedly, during the game, they suddenly discovered that everything was different from what they had imagined.

Even though Manchester United almost lost all four players last season, they are also firmly suppressed by Chelsea in the league standings this season, but their strength is definitely the top in Europe at present, and there are only a handful of teams that can compete with Manchester United. .Against a mid-level Premier League team like Blackburn, the game can be settled in one half!
………………

The three-goal lead has made Manchester United more calm and confident, but the pressure on the Blackburn players is extremely high, and their actions on the court have also increased.

There was a violent scene in the 37th minute. Alan Smith intercepted the ball with a dangerous tackle in the frontcourt. Blackburn players complained to Alan Smith for a foul, but the referee Stiles signaled the game to continue, which annoyed Blackburn The players were upset, and they tried to stop Manchester United's offensive with repeated tackles.

Alan Smith lost control of the football under several players taking turns, and the ball was cut off by Blackburn midfielder Savage.Alan Smith chased back and tackled Savage from behind, Rooney was brought down on the other side, and a Blackburn player made a tackle on Alan Smith's side, referee Stiles yelled A foul is called at the whistle.

Savage tried to push away Rooney on his body, perhaps with the anger of being uprooted, and the strength of the shot was a bit strong, which made Rooney feel provocative.

The little fat man was already irritable, but suddenly he became angry, and he punched Savage on the head with an old punch. Stiles, who came to persuade him to fight, was also brought to the ground by Rooney, with Alan Smith beside him. He wanted to help, but was pulled from behind by the Blackburn players.

In the end, Rooney was also pulled away, but Savage fell to the ground in pain.Players on both sides exercised restraint to avoid the scene from falling into a bigger melee. Except that Bentley and Ferdinand were pushed away by their teammates, the chaotic scene gradually subsided.

After discussing with the linesman, Stiles first gave Alan Smith a yellow card.He then called Rooney. People thought that Rooney would increase the penalty, but Stiles still only showed a yellow card.In the end, he showed Savage a yellow card. Savage, who did not make any extra moves during the replay, expressed his dissatisfaction with grievances. Tens of thousands of fans booed the sky at Ewood Park.

Stiles gave Savage a yellow card, perhaps because of preconceived reasons.Savage has been the most hated player in the Premier League for "acting" to frame opponents and was fined for many years in his career, but today he fell to the ground for this old punch and was sentenced to a card The yellow card was obviously a big loss because of his previous reputation.

………………

After all this chaos, the game resumed.However, neither side scored again, and Manchester United ended the first half with a 3:0 advantage.

During the intermission, Ferguson was full of praise for the team's performance in the first half, and at the same time encouraged the players to make persistent efforts.

As for the chaotic battle, Ferguson didn't mention it at all.As an old-school head coach, maybe the old man doesn't think it's a big deal, let alone Manchester United took advantage of it.

Finally, Ferguson said: "I believe that as long as we play steadily, the victory will belong to us!"

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Blackburn did not adjust the team lineup. After the opening, they played a rush attack, but it failed to achieve results.

Among them, in the minute, there is a very obvious detail that can reflect the problems of Blackburn players.That is, under the pressing pressure of Manchester United's midfielder and frontcourt, central defender Nelson passed the ball back to the goalkeeper with his foot when he could not find a point of exit, but Manchester United pressed every step of the way. Pick up the ball with your hands.

Manchester United's players immediately protested to the referee Stiles. Stiles did not punish severely, but gave Manchester United a free kick near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.

………………

This time, it was Yin Junlai who took the free kick. He passed the ball directly into the penalty area. Giggs quickly inserted in and volleyed directly. It hit the post and failed to score.

Although they failed to score a goal, whether it was the bad mistakes of the Blackburn players themselves or Manchester United's subsequent volley to the center post, it clearly reflected the changes in the mental outlook of the two teams.

Subsequently, Ferguson made substitutions, Yin Jun, Giggs and Fletcher were replaced one after another, Scholes, Park Ji-sung and O'Shea got the chance to play.

After Yin Jun left the field, Manchester United's control on the field declined, which gave Blackburn some opportunities and scored a goal in the 76th minute.

Nelson made a long pass from the left, Couch headed the ball, and Pedersen got rid of Gary Neville and shot into the far corner with his right foot from 12 yards to the left rib. This was his seventh goal of the season.

However, this goal was a bit late.Although Blackburn subsequently launched a wave of violent counterattacks, they failed to score more goals after all.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Blackburn 3:1 in the away game. In the two rounds of the game, it basically established the final victory.
