Chapter 127: The Great Victory (I)
Van Bizhuang's retreat, as well as a change in Manchester United's tactical approach, quickly paid off.
For Manchester United, the huge impact of the lack of major generals still exists, and there are still a lot of hidden dangers in their rear, Blackburn's squad is not bad, the strength is also good, and the tactics are also very targeted, so they can still create a lot of threat to their rear.
But after Manchester United equalized, they quickly adjusted their tactical focus and put most of their energy into attack, they just want to attack instead of defending, their grasp of the situation is obviously very clear, defense, it is not necessarily possible to prevent, but attack, it is very likely to continue to score goals, so they can only make a fuss on the offensive end.
Blackburn were extremely unwilling to take the lead but were levelled in a good situation, and the fact that their attack was able to create chances created only made them feel like they could break through the United defence again at any moment. So, they have a lot of offensive momentum.
Both teams wanted to establish an advantage by attacking, and the game instantly turned into a head-to-head battle.
Obviously, in the attack, Blackburn is not too much advantage, Manchester United is undoubtedly better in strength, the attacking group led by Fan Bizhuang frequently creates a threat in the front, the away team's defense is gradually tightened, and gradually, the away team has a tendency to be suppressed.
This trend became more and more evident over time, and later on, Blackburn's goalmouth became more and more noisy, and the midfield players had to drop back to assist the defence, and the pressure on the Reds backline was relaxed, which led to the United attacking players being more reckless and putting more pressure on the opponent in the front.
Manchester United's strategy of attacking instead of defending has worked wonders.
The most important link was also made up after Fan Bizhuang's retreat organized in tandem. Without Paul Scholes and Kaka as a stop, United's attack was a bit disorganized, while Van Bizhuang played a cameo role as a midfielder, bringing the midfield together well.
This is also the biggest headache for Blackburn's defenders, Van Bizhuang is super goal-scoring ability, they divided heavy troops to mark, as a result, Van Bizhuang dropped back sharply, although it seemed to be far from the goal, but brought more pressure to the visitors. Fan Bizhuang's passing, hidden and accurate, can be described as unguardable, and his breakthrough and impact can not be stopped at all, pointing to where to play, Fan Bizhuang alone revitalized Manchester United's entire frontcourt offensive line.
In this situation, Blackburn's decline has been clearly revealed.
In the 40th minute, Fan Bizhuang, who cruised to the middle, used the advantage of speed to get rid of the entanglement of the defenders, and after receiving the ball, he made a sprint towards the penalty area, but he suddenly raised his foot and plugged it, and the football rolled into the penalty area diagonally against the turf. Robinson couldn't make a save and the ball fell to the far side of the net.
2:1!
Manchester United, playing at home, will overtake the score!
The Old Trafford stadium was in an instant state of jubilation.
From not being favored before the game, to the decline in the first half of the game, and even being pressed by Blackburn Rovers against the hosts, as well as conceding goals shortly after the opening game...... All this seems to show that Manchester United, who are not in good shape, are really likely to stop their winning streak in this game, but then Manchester United launched a counterattack, first Van Bizhuang scored, and then he assisted Hernandez to score, and the score was instantly overtaken, which made the home fans smile, and their hearts also felt as if a big rock had fallen to the ground.
Despite the lack of major generals and despite the poor condition, Manchester United still proved that they can still score goals and still have the ability to continue to win!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball went in again...... We scored again and we overtook the score! It was ...... who scored the goal Javier...... Hernandez! The arrival of the small Mexican striker this season has been a surprise for the people, and this is already his fourth league goal of the season! With most of the time coming off the bench, Hernandez has a bright future ahead of him! ”
"Of course, we can't forget the leader of this overtaking goal, that's right, it's Fan, he has one goal and one assist, in the first game of his return from ban, Fan continued to lead the team with an unparalleled performance!"
The fans were cheering, shouting the names of the goal-scorers, they also knew the ball, and naturally knew that the team could overtake the score in difficult situations, and who was the biggest contributor, so the stands on all sides, "Fan! "Long live, Your Majesty!" The shouts are even more up-and-forth.
United's bench was also jubilant, with Muhrensteen raising his arms in celebration and Alex Ferguson shouting with his arms raised in the air, his face undisguised with joy on his face.
For him, attacking instead of defending is also an extremely risky choice, the factor of instability at the back has always existed, Blackburn's strength is good, even if he has confidence in his team, but no one can say what will happen in the attack, to be honest, he is ready for the team to fall behind again, but the goal at the moment is enough to make him completely relieved, maybe in the later time, Blackburn may score, but Manchester United's strong offensive ability has been shown, they can score more goals.
"Attack! Let's keep attacking, don't stop, we have to keep putting pressure on the other side! ”
After the cheers, Ferguson did not forget to give the order to continue the attack.
……
From leading to being equalized, and then to falling behind, the blow to Blackburn's morale is undoubtedly heavy and huge. They could see and feel the "weakness" of Manchester United, and for a long time they had the advantage, but the score at this time was tantamount to a blow to the head, beating them dizzy.
The facts are in front of you, no matter how bad Manchester United is lately, it is also a tiger, and they still have the ability to tear apart any opponent!
But at this moment, Blackburn is not reconciled, or rather, they have no way out, there is no other way but to continue to attack, seeking to equalize or even exceed the score.
Falling behind by one goal is losing, and if you fight, you may have a chance to come back to the dead, after all, Manchester United's midfield is not without holes to drill.
At this time, the game time has reached 40 minutes, and it is not far from the end of the first half, and the best way to deal with the blow of conceding consecutive goals is to first stabilize the defense, ensure that the goal is not conceded for the time being, wait until halftime, and then make adjustments, and then let go in the second half.
After all, it's just a one-goal disadvantage, and it's not yet at the end of the mountain, Blackburn is not without a chance to equalize, and Manchester United don't dare to say that they can win with a one-goal lead.
But Blackburn didn't choose to defend, maybe the psychological gap brought by the score made them extremely unwilling, or maybe Manchester United's unstable backline still gave them hope, so after the game restarted, Blackburn attacked again.
They wanted to get on the scoresheet in the final moments of the first half and get the score back.
Blackburn's counterattack made the Manchester United players a little stunned, but then it was a big joy, at this time the team's morale was high, and most importantly, under the combing of Fan Bizhuang, the offensive axis of the midfield and the midfield ran smoothly, fighting against the attack, if it was a team like Chelsea and Liverpool, Manchester United might still have fears, but Blackburn was obviously not at that level.
In the face of the opponent's pounce, Fan Bizhuang, who controlled the team's rhythm, was not in a hurry to move forward, but deliberately opened the sleeve and let the opponent push the line forward.
In the 44th minute, just four minutes after United's second goal, the Reds had the opportunity to fight back quickly.
After successfully blocking the opponent's offensive, the football reached the feet of Fan Bizhuang, without any hesitation, Fan Bizhuang raised his foot is a precise oblique long pass to find Nani who cruised to the right side of the penalty area, close to the bottom line, the Portuguese winger sent the ball into the penalty area, Hernandez carried the defender, and the outside of the foot blocked the ball back with a broken line, a simple but practical wall-hitting cooperation, instantly tore the away team's defense line, the right side of the penalty area goal, Nani just ran to the position, the football came on, the pace did not stop, The Portuguese raised his foot and shot.
Paul. Robinson blocked the near corner of the goal, and Nani's powerful burst shot hit the near corner, although he had been prepared, but the distance was so close, Nani's shot was so powerful and heavy, Robinson only waved halfway to the net, and the ball turned into a cannonball rushed into the net.
3:1!
Van Bizhuang's long pass was dispatched, Hernandez made the ball, Nani burst into the shot, Manchester United extended the lead to two goals, and victory was in sight!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Nani! Nani!! Nani!!! He scored United's third goal of the game! 3:1! Manchester United lead by two goals! ”
'In a difficult situation and conceding a goal first, United were resilient and they broke through the Blackburn defence three times with a powerful attack! It seems that there won't be much suspense in this game! ”
'Blackburn have paid a heavy price for their behaviour at Old Trafford! Blackburn's players played so well at one point that they even kept United at bay from both the score and the pitch, which led many to see that they could potentially hand United their first defeat of the season, but look at the scoreline now...... Well, it must be admitted that Manchester United's first defeat of the season is likely to be left for later...... Blackburn is destined not to be the David who defeated the giants......"
