Chapter 1033 Football Is Round
Blackpool still did not want to make progress after falling behind by 1 goal, and it seemed that they no longer had the confidence to reverse.
In fact, this is normal. If Blackpool's fighting spirit and cohesion were strong, they would not fall to the bottom two.
Therefore, Manchester United players and fans also feel that Blackpool is really defeated, their mentality is a bit lax, their defense is not that hard, and their offensive choices are also a bit random.
Allardyce was not an easy man. He saw Manchester United's laxity and immediately adjusted his plan and directly ordered his players to attack Manchester United.
Blackpool took advantage of Manchester United's passing error and launched a quick counterattack. Midfielder Adam received the pass and quickly broke through Rafael's defense. He passed the ball from the left. Manchester United's full-back Nani seriously missed the man, and South was unguarded. En inserted into the penalty area from the wing and shot with his right foot from 6 yards, but Thornes was a little excited when faced with the excellent plan and actually missed the must-goal.
Blackpool's sharp counterattack shocked Manchester United, but due to inertia, they still believed that this was just Blackpool's mishandling and not the real level, so they still did not pay attention to it.
In the 38th minute, Rafael made a pass from the right. The Blackpool defender made a clearance and kicked Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball and passed through. Berbatov shot low with his right foot from 6 yards. Goalkeeper Kilkes struggled to save it. , Gao Xiaodong inserted into the penalty area to get the ball and prepared to shoot, but was knocked down by Adam.
At this time, the referee was at the front of the penalty area, but he didn't say anything.
Although the Manchester United players felt that the victory was certain, they did not want to miss a chance to score a goal, so they all ran over to ask for a penalty kick.
Manchester United's players were also careless. They actually ignored that the game was not over and the ball was still under the opponent's control.
When the Manchester United players saw that the referee was ignoring him, they turned around and ran towards their own half, only to find that Blackpool's counterattack had reached the edge of their own penalty area.
Blackpool fought back brilliantly.
Forward Pang Chuen passed the ball to midfielder Wogan in the penalty area. Wogan inserted the ball into the right rib of the penalty area and passed the ball. At this moment, T-Fletcher was already in an offside position. Ferdinand raised his hand to indicate offside, but the linesman did not raise the flag. T-Fletcher Letcher fired with his right foot from 6 yards, and the ball hit the left post and bounced into the net. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had nothing to do about it.
1:1
Manchester United's defense was lax and the referee made consecutive mistakes. By some mistake, Blackpool evened the score.
Blackpool players and fans are very excited,
They cheered as if the game had been won.
The players and fans of Manchester United were very angry. The fans cursed the referee as a blind man in the stands. Several old players of Manchester United also went to negotiate with the referee, indicating that there was something wrong with the penalty just now.
Maybe there is a problem, maybe not, but the referee will definitely not admit it, and the Manchester United players are also very helpless. Fortunately, the initiative is still with Manchester United. Even if it is a draw, they can win the championship with the advantage of goal difference, and there will be no more Argue with the referee.
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone. After the kick-off from the center circle, Manchester United continued to attack, but Blackpool was no longer defending and pressed forward again.
Manchester United controlled the ball in the backcourt and the ball was passed to Fletcher. When Fletcher passed the ball to Scholes, he was kicked in the back by Pontchuen. The ball was passed a bit too big and was tackled and destroyed by the opponent. Then It reached Pang Chuen's feet again.
Fletcher had just been kicked by Pang Chuen, and he was angry. When the ball reached Pang Chuen's feet, Fletcher wanted to take revenge. He made a flying tackle and knocked Pang Chuen to the ground with the ball.
This was an obvious retaliatory foul. The referee immediately showed Fletcher a yellow card and awarded a free kick at the edge of the penalty area.
The location of such a free kick is very good, facing the goal, and it is only 22 meters away, but Manchester United is not afraid of it. Firstly, there are no free kick masters in Blackpool. Secondly, even though Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is older, he is not afraid of it. First-class level, no cat or dog can break through his ten fingers.
Blackpool's free kick is taken by midfielder Adam. Adam is not well-known on the list of free kicks. He mainly chooses generals among lame players when he takes free kicks.
Van der Sar is experienced and does not look down on Adam. He just focuses part of his attention on the players to prevent Adam from passing the ball.
Although Adam's free kick shooting percentage is not high, he did not choose to pass the free kick from such a good position. After a small run-up, the left-footed curve ball hit the upper right corner of the goal.
Van der Sar judged that Adam was going to shoot directly when he started to kick, and also judged the direction of Adam's shot, but Adam's free kick was too tricky and the ball bounced into the right post. The net was out of reach for Van der Sar.
2:1
In just five minutes, Blackpool scored two goals in a row and reversed Manchester United.
Manchester United fans were stunned, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Lakepool reversed?
God! This is impossible! How can this be?
not real? Can Blackpool reverse Manchester United?
The Manchester United stands were silent.
The more than a thousand Blackpool fans who came to watch the game also couldn't believe their eyes. They stared at the score board and pinched their thighs hard, God! This is real! Blackpool reverses Manchester United! 2:1...Blackpool wants to win!
The Blackpool fans in the stands went crazy, jumping to their feet, cheering, their faces contorted with excitement.
Allardyce on the sidelines also felt a bit like he was dreaming. He was still stunned when the coaching staff and substitute players rushed over and hugged him crazily.
"Coach! We have reversed the situation! We are going to avoid relegation!"
"Coach! We're going to win! Coach! It's incredible!"
"Coach! You are so great!"
Blackpool's players and coaches were overjoyed, while Manchester United's players and coaches were stunned, with pale faces. In an instant, they thought of the terrifying possibility of losing and losing the title.
Manchester United is one season ahead. It would be a shame if they lost the championship in the last round, and this is a key championship to overtake Liverpool.
The on-site commentators were astonished. They shouted excitedly: "...Adam scored! It's 2:1! A miracle may be about to happen! Blackpool reversed Manchester United! If Blackpool wins the game in the end, they will have a huge advantage. hopes to be relegated successfully, because both of his opponents are behind! But Manchester United is very likely to lose the championship, because Chelsea will not fail to win Everton in this situation! Football is really incredible! The whistle does not sound, anything can happen ."
The players, fans and assistants of Manchester United were all panicked. Only Ferguson quickly recovered his calm after the shock and fear. He understood that according to the normal comparison of strength, with more than half a game left, Manchester United would definitely be able to come back, but he was afraid that the blood would get to his head. , and the opponent counterattacks again. If the score exceeds two goals, it will be difficult to say.
Thinking of this, Ferguson immediately called Scholes, Gao Xiaodong, Ferdinand and Vidic over, telling them to stay calm, not to rush to attack, to attack when there is a chance, to control the ball when there is no chance, and to wait until the end of the first half. .
Although the Manchester United players were furious and wanted to immediately launch a fierce attack and quickly equalize the score, Ferguson's authority at Manchester United was unquestionable. No one dared to disobey his orders, even if they did not understand them, they had to obey them.
