Chapter 1028: Locking the Victory
1:0
When the ball flew into the net, Gao Xiaodong and Rooney both got up and ran towards the stands. The fans cheered but were stunned because they didn't know who scored the goal. From the scene of the shot just now, it seemed Both kicked the ball.
"goalgoalgoal..." The on-site commentator was also a little dizzy. "Beautiful upside down! Or a double upside down golden hook! But who scores the goal?"
Regardless of who scores the goal, it is for the referee to decide. Manchester United people just celebrate enthusiastically, because whether it is Rooney or Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United fans are very happy.
Against a weak team like Blackburn, Manchester United is most afraid of the opponent setting up a bus. Now after scoring a goal, the opponent has no possibility of setting up a bus, and everyone is worried about it.
The referee and linesman did not see clearly who scored the goal, but they were closer to Rooney psychologically, so they credited the goal to Rooney.
Standing on the sidelines, Blackburn head coach Allardyce was not particularly frustrated because he had no intention of setting up a bus in this game and did not think Blackburn could keep Manchester United clean. He still calmly directed the players to attack. , impacting Manchester United's wing.
Manchester United's wing starts from the wing and ends in the center. Allardyce wanted to defend the wing at the beginning, but failed. Now his purpose is to use offense to suppress Manchester United's wing.
Manchester United's record this season is brilliant, and almost no one dares to play against Manchester United. In fact, the defense of Nani and Valencia, a pair of full midfielders, is not very good, especially Nani, who is typically strong in offense and weak in defense.
The full-back Evra behind Nani is older. Without the help of the full-back, it is difficult for him to take care of both offense and defense.
Blackburn's all-out attack put a lot of pressure on Evra, especially Spanish veteran defender Salgado who frequently assisted Nani in the frontcourt when he was attacking, and used his experience to constantly assist Peterson in attacking Evra. Pulling the defensive line, making Evra focus on one thing and not the other.
In the 35th minute of the game, Peterson finally broke through Evra's defense with Salgado's heel pass and cut into Manchester United's penalty area from the bottom line.
Ferdinand was very experienced and made up the defense as soon as Peterson broke through Evra, without giving Peterson a chance to break into the small penalty area.
Peterson saw that there was no chance to shoot, so he decisively passed the ball to the top of the penalty area.
As Peterson broke through to the bottom line, Manchester United's defensive players pressed into the penalty area. Peterson's pass directly found his teammate Nzonzi.
Nzongzi did not hesitate;
To meet the ball is to kick the ball furiously.
When the opportunity came, Nzonzi wanted to use his strength too much, but failed to choose the shooting route. The shot hit Carrick.
En Zongqi used too much force and the ball bounced directly out of the penalty area and fell in front of Gao Xiaodong who was retreating to defend.
Gao Xiaodong didn't know what was going on behind him and didn't dare to stop the ball. He passed the ball directly to Evra, who had no one around him, and quickly turned sideways.
Evra had just been broken through by his opponent and was feeling frustrated. When he saw Gao Xiaodong passing the ball, Evra was overjoyed and felt that this was a good opportunity to make up for his mistake. He quickly dribbled the ball forward along the wing.
Gao Xiaodong saw that Evra did not pass the ball to him, so he quickly ran forward to meet Evra.
Evra didn't go far before he was intercepted by a Blackburn player.
Evra doesn't dare to pass, not to mention being easily fouled by his opponent's tactics. Even if he can pass, it is not good. The most important thing in counterattack is to be fast. Once he slows down, the chance will be gone.
Evra passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong again, allowing Gao Xiaodong to continue to move forward.
Gao Xiaodong was faster, and when his opponent attacked this time, he pressed higher and the backcourt was a bit empty. Gao Xiaodong kept running along the gaps between the defensive players, and soon brought the ball to Blackburn. Thirty meters area.
In this area, there are many defensive players, so it will definitely not work in the middle, unless you go to the side.
But Gao Xiaodong did not go to the wing, but continued to press forward, forcing the opponent's defensive players to come and defend him.
Gao Xiaodong is Manchester United's most threatening player. Blackburn don't dare to defend alone. If Gao Xiaodong breaks through, it will be more dangerous behind him. Center back Samba and midfielder Emerton both run towards Gao Xiaodong. Rush over.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong continue to put pressure from the center, Rooney and Hernandez understood, and the two suddenly switched positions. Hernandez quickly shook off the defensive player and penetrated into the penalty area.
This is a good opportunity. Gao Xiaodong was waiting for this opportunity. The moment Hernandez got rid of it, Gao Xiaodong made a fake move, then flicked his ankle and passed the ball between the two defensive players. passed.
When Samba and Emerton came to double-team Gao Xiaodong, they also paid attention to Gao Xiaodong's pass, but Gao Xiaodong's fake move shook them. When Gao Xiaodong passed the ball again, they were too late to intercept it. .
Gao Xiaodong was also worried about being intercepted by his opponent, so he passed the ball a little too fast. Hernandez caught the ball after catching up to the baseline, losing the best shooting angle.
However, Hernandez was not willing to give in. He hit the goal with a curve ball that seemed to be passed and shot.
Hernandez thought very well. It would be best if the ball could bypass the goalkeeper and transfer to the goal. If the ball could not transfer to the goal, Rooney might also grab the spot.
Hernandez had a good idea, but the ball bypassed goalkeeper Robinson's interception, but also missed the goal post. Because it was spinning towards the baseline, Rooney was half a step slower when grabbing the point, and the ball flew directly out. Bottom line.
Rooney was a little unhappy. He felt that if the ball passed by Hernandez had not rotated outwards, but rotated inward, he would have grabbed the ball.
Gao Xiaodong is a smart man and can see through Hernandez's thoughts at a glance, but Hernandez is his younger brother, so of course he will not tell it.
Gao Xiaodong applauded Hernandez and Rooney, and then told them to quickly return to defense.
Blackburn had just completed a threatening attack and were immediately counterattacked by Manchester United, almost conceding the ball. This was a big blow to them. Then when Robinson took the goal kick, Blackburn had two fewer people pressing forward. Controlled the rhythm of the attack.
However, Manchester United did not dare to be careless. After they grabbed the goal kick, they also controlled the rhythm in the backcourt, waiting for Blackburn to come over and press.
After all, Blackburn were behind, and now they were in urgent need of three points. After taking a breath, they continued to press, forcing Manchester United to speed up the pace.
Manchester United was pushed too hard in the backcourt and soon lost the space to pass the ball. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar kicked the ball towards the frontcourt.
Van der Sar's kick was very clever, falling just in front of Rooney. Rooney held the defender to stop the ball and passed the ball to Hernandez.
Hernandez saw Gao Xiaodong coming up and kicked Gao Xiaodong back.
Gao Xiaodong kept passing the ball and passed it behind the defender.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball very beautifully from behind, and it hit right between the defender and the goalkeeper. Goalkeeper Robinson quickly went out to get the ball, but after running two steps, he realized that he could not get the ball before Hernandez, and hurried to Running back.
Hernandez quickly ran to the ball, and without waiting for Robinson to go back, he lifted the ball into the Blackburn goal with the arch of his foot.
2:0
Hernandez received a pass from Gao Xiaodong and fired a lob to seal the victory for Manchester United.
