Chapter 1029 The Final Battle

After Hernandez scored, there was no suspense in the game. Although Blackburn had some strength, playing at home, and had fighting spirit, Manchester United's strength was more than one level higher than Blackburn's, and they were also experienced. Blackburn wanted to make a comeback. Almost impossible.

In the second half of the game, Manchester United began to shrink after taking the lead, tempting Blackburn to attack.

Blackburn knew it was dangerous to attack, but they had no choice. As long as they wanted to score points, they had to attack.

Obviously, besieging Manchester United will pay a heavy price. Blackburn was counterattacked twice by Manchester United within ten minutes of the second half. Once Rooney went to the meeting alone and hit the goal post, and once Gao Xiaodong passed goalkeeper Robinson and hit an empty goal.

After the score became 3:0, there was no more suspense. At this time, Blackburn, with no hope of victory, was worried about scoring a super big score and did not dare to attack aggressively. However, Manchester United just wanted to get the three points safely and without injury. There was no more desire to attack, and the final game ended with Manchester United winning 3:0.

Manchester United won the game as they wished. After the victory, Manchester United did not have much interest in congratulations and stayed on the field waiting for the result of the game between Chelsea and Newcastle.

The two championship teams had the same game time, but Chelsea's game was delayed too much, with 7 minutes of stoppage time, while Manchester United and Blackburn only had 3 minutes of stoppage time.

In the 90-minute regular match time, Chelsea and Newcastle tied 2:2. If Chelsea cannot defeat Newcastle in the end, Manchester United will win the championship one round ahead of schedule and will not need to compete with Blackpool in the final round. If Chelsea To win, Manchester United must continue to work hard in the final round.

Winning the championship is not that easy. In the last 4 minutes, in order to seize the last life-saving straw, Chelsea frantically besieged Newcastle, and in the last minute Terry scored with a header. Chelsea defeated Newcastle 3:2 and put the championship in suspense. Saved until the last round.

Manchester United players were so angry that they cursed their mothers. Many people believed that this was a conspiracy by the Football Association to not let Manchester United win the championship early.

Although there is not much suspense in the final round against Blackpool, the people of Manchester United will not be able to let go if they do not hold the championship trophy in their hands for a day. After all, football is round and no one knows what will happen. In addition, there may be injuries when there is a game. Barcelona still has the most important Champions League final to play. Manchester United does not want injuries in the league, so Chelsea's decisive victory made the Manchester United players very depressed.

However, the game is over. No matter how depressed Manchester United is, they have nothing to do. They can only continue to prepare for the final round of games against Blackpool to ensure they win the league championship.

Blackpool is a newly promoted team. In the promotion play-offs last season,

They reversed Cardiff 3-2 at Wembley and returned to the top level for the first time in 39 years.

Blackpool has almost no glorious moments in history. The only one was in 1953, when Matthews, the first European Footballer of the Year, sent three exquisite passes in the FA Cup final to help Blackpool reverse Bolton Wanderers 4-3. , won the FA Cup crown, and that time they won the cup at Wembley. This time they still had the goddess of luck with them, beating Swansea by 1 point to win sixth place in the league, qualifying for the play-offs, narrowly beating No. 3 Nottingham 4-3, and reversing their ranking 3-2. Cardiff, who was ranked 4th, had their promotion.

Blackpool accumulated 70 points in the English Championship last season and was only ranked sixth, 32 points behind Newcastle, which ranked first. It is a typical team with strong offense and weak defense. In 46 games in a season, it actually conceded 58 goals. , this is still the case in the English Championship. Blackpool's performance is even worse this season. They scored 39 points in 37 league rounds, scored 53 goals, conceded 74 goals, ranked first in the Premier League in the number of goals conceded, and had the same points as the fourth from the bottom. , only 2 points away from the bottom five.

In other words, Blackpool still has hope of relegation, as long as they beat Manchester United away from home.

The last time Blackpool defeated Manchester United was 1-0 in 1962. More than 40 years later, Manchester United has become stronger and has become the dominant player in the Premier League. Blackpool has been dawdling in the lower leagues, and now it has finally been promoted to the Super League. , Blackpool is of course unwilling to go back to play low-level competitions even to death. Therefore, as long as there is a little hope, Blackpool's players will not give up.

Blackpool's style of play is more traditional, focusing on British long passes. Coach Holloway advocates offense, so his style of play is also relatively open.

In the goalkeeper position, Blackpool may have the smallest gap with the Premier League teams. They have two goalkeepers, Rachubka and Gilkes, both of whom are in the prime age of their careers. In the British Championship, the former Manchester United goalkeeper Rachubka is the main goalkeeper. Although Rachubka was troubled by injuries after being promoted to the Premier League, he is still the main goalkeeper.

Rachubka was unable to gain a foothold at Manchester United back then, but now that Blackpool has become a key team in determining Manchester United's championship, the former Manchester United goalkeeper may never let Manchester United go.

In terms of player ability, there is a big gap between Blackpool's defenders and other Premier League teams. As the British media said: "Blackpool's defenders need to improve at least two levels to ensure that they are not ravaged by wealthy teams. "

Blackpool's midfielders are good. They have three strong players, Wakhan, Shao Zian, and Adam. But the problem is that apart from these three, Blackpool can hardly find other players who can serve as the main force. Falling into the relegation zone is mainly due to insufficient bench depth.

The personal ability of Blackpool's forwards is not very strong, but veterans Olmerod, Campbell, and Phillips are all capable of scoring goals. Coupled with Adam, the core midfielder with excellent offensive power, Blackpool's offensive power is not bad.

The core of Blackpool's midfield is the 25-year-old Scottish international Adam, who is also the captain of Blackpool.

Adam was loaned to Blackpool from Glasgow Rangers in the Scottish Premier League in the middle of the 2008-09 season. After only half a season, coach Holloway decided to spend 500,000 pounds to buy Adam. In the 2009-10 season, Adam became an even more indispensable member of Blackpool. He played 46 games throughout the season and scored 18 goals. He ranked first in the team in both appearances and goals. As a midfielder, this goal scored 18 goals. The ball ability is very good.

In Blackpool, Adam is also the only player who has played in both the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. Not only does he have strong organizational skills and physical strength, but he also has a precise long-range shot. In the last round, Adam was the winner for Manchester United. The biggest threat.

Adam and Gao Xiaodong have similar characteristics and have similar positions in the team. Adam is not convinced by Gao Xiaodong's achievements in Inter Milan or Gao Xiaodong's Ballon d'Or. Therefore, before the game, Adam challenged Gao Xiaodong. Challenge, he said he would defeat Gao Xiaodong and destroy Manchester United's dream of winning the Triple Crown.
