Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

In the end, Sir Alex Ferguson resisted the urge to make three substitutions in the first half. After all, Manchester United's performance improved instantly after losing the ball. Fortunately, it was not too cold in Lancashire in spring. The Manchester United bench, which had already started warming up, could only continue to warm up at a slow pace...

In the 22nd minute, Ronaldo immediately responded with a powerful long shot, but Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel was focused and saved the long shot from 30 yards out.

Then Giggs took a corner kick from the left side, Vidic headed the ball successfully in the corner of the small penalty area, but the power was not enough and the ball was confiscated by Friedel.

……

Manchester United had been besieging the home team's goal for the rest of the first half. They would have waited for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, but as the pressure on the defense grew, almost all the players retreated to defense. Since they were leading by one goal, only Santa Cruz was left roaming around the center circle to interfere with the Manchester United defenders' passing and insertions.

However, until the half-time break, Manchester United failed to break through Blackburn's defense. Ronaldo had as many as five shots on target in the first half, all of which were saved by Friedel. It seemed that the latter was like a cheat in this game and was extremely brave.

As soon as he returned to the second half, Sir Alex Ferguson replaced Giggs, who has been in mediocre form recently, with Li Qi.

Li Qi, who came on the pitch, quickly used his inside cut to create a free kick in front of the penalty area in an excellent position, which was only 2 or 3 yards outside the free kick taken by Hargreaves in the previous round.

But this time, Ronaldo, who was eager to score, smothered the free kick from 24 yards in the middle of the goal directly into the wall of people...

Li Qi couldn't help but worry: It seems that my snail-sucking brother's mentality is really not very good today.

However, Li Qi's appearance did better connect Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt, allowing Manchester United's offensive to get closer to Blackburn's goal.

So in order to prevent Manchester United from entering the defensive third zone, the home team violently began to adopt a foul tactic. Defenders Reid, Samba, and Pedersen, who threw the key out-of-bounds ball in the first half, all received yellow cards.

In the 65th minute, Sir Alex couldn't bear to see Ronaldo continue to act so willfully, so he replaced Rooney with Park Ji-sung, letting Ronaldo return to his familiar right winger position, instead of frequently shooting long shots as a center forward...

Sir Alex continued to keep the four little swans on the field at the same time. After all, this game could not be lost at all costs, because if they lost, they would be overtaken in the standings if they lost away to Chelsea in the next round, which Sir Alex could never accept.

So Rooney came to the field with Sir Alex's desperate orders.

And Ronaldo also felt the pressure from Sir Alex Ferguson. Indeed, compared to breaking the record, the most important thing is to keep the championship.

In the 67th minute, Ronaldo returned to the wing and successfully broke through and sent a wonderful cross. Rooney successfully intercepted the ball in the middle, but unfortunately his header from 12 yards in front of the goal hit the thigh of central defender Nelson and was promptly confiscated by Friedel, who seemed to have divine help in this game.

At this time, Manchester United seemed to have returned to normal, and their magic was fully displayed, completely suppressing the home team Blackburn in the half.

Blackburn even replaced striker Roberts in the 70th minute and replaced him with Mokoena, known as one of the top ten villains in football, as a defensive midfielder, changing to a 4-1-4-1 formation.

But Manchester United, who had been forced into a desperate situation by Sir Alex Ferguson at halftime, didn't care about this villain at all, even though the South African defender from the Dutch league had almost ended Robben's career early with a malicious foul.

Therefore, Manchester United players increased the speed of passing the ball, not giving Mokoena the opportunity to attack closely. This in turn improved Manchester United's offensive efficiency. After all, there were always some players who stuck to the ball too much and missed opportunities.

So as Manchester United got closer and closer to scoring, Blackburn manager Mark Hughes felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. Fortunately, goalkeeper Friedel continued to perform superbly and kept saving Manchester United's sure goals.

In the 78th minute, Li Qi sent a diagonal pass, Rooney protected the ball and turned around in one go, then faked a shot and passed it to the real one. Ronaldo followed up from the wing and was ready to shoot the ball, but midfielder Vogel, who was in a hurry to make up for the defense, could only use a shovel to poke the ball back to the middle of the penalty area.

Tevez was the first to get the ball, turned around and fired a low shot from 10 yards in the middle of the penalty area.

But Friedel first dived sideways to block the ball, and then with a quick second reaction, he pounced on the ball and caught it in his arms before Rooney could make a follow-up shot.

In the 80th minute, Li Qi cut inside to attract the defense and sent a straight pass, and Ronaldo led the ball into the left side of the penalty area and crossed it in. Tevez's shot was saved by Friedel on the goal line, and then Nelson, who was returning to defense, cleared the ball in front of Rooney.

Rooney was half a beat slow again and missed a good chance to shoot in front of the goal.

Then Sir Alex played his last card, replacing Evra with Wes Brown, letting O'Shea, Ferdinand and Vidic play as three central defenders. Evra, Carrick, Scholes and Lizzie surrounded Blackburn's penalty area and frantically sent the ball into it...

Finally, after Friedel saved Manchester United's sure goal for the Nth time, Manchester United seized the N+1th chance!

In the 88th minute, with two minutes left in injury time, Li Qi quickly took a tactical corner kick and cooperated with Evra, who knocked the ball back to Li Qi near the corner of the penalty area.

At this time, all the older players of Manchester United crowded into Blackburn's small penalty area, and everyone thought that Li Qi would kick the ball towards the goal.

However, I received rewards from readers (Bei Mo Jun, vfhjsi, AG Angel, GGbond who loves strawberry potted plants, Hu Hu who likes bougainvillea, Han Yan Jiu Zhi, Spiritual Contract and Spiritual Contract, etc.), and blessed the protagonist with chicken legs. Oh no, it was the cunning Li Qi who had the halo of the protagonist. He just didn't want to follow the thinking of the majority.

Because he had just triggered the breaking point, he keenly discovered that another old thief had escaped the attention of the defensive players and was quietly lying in ambush at the top of the penalty area. It was the ginger-headed Scholes!

So Li Qi didn't say anything, just shook his ankle and sent the ball to Scholes!

Scholes was waiting for this move from Li Qi, and he met the ball with a heavy artillery like a cruise missile, shooting through the crowd and heading straight for the blind spot in the upper right corner of the goal...

But I have to say, there is really no way to explain the cheating. Friedel guessed the angle of the shot and the defensive line as soon as Scholes kicked the ball, and dived in advance, actually blocking this world-class shot that should have been a sure goal!

However, human efforts are limited and destiny cannot be violated. Friedel, who had already made 14 saves in the game, was unable to hit the ball far away this time. After all, it was a subconscious save, and blocking the world wave that shot through the crowd was already very BT.

And Manchester United finally did not miss the third golden opportunity to make a follow-up shot in front of the goal. This time it was not Rooney who stepped up to grab the goal, but Tevez who had been silent for a long time!

Tevez, who had been guarding the near post, made a quick kick and put the ball into the empty goal. However, since Blackburn still had two wingers guarding the goal post, Tevez could not be offside.

Manchester United finally equalized the score at the last minute of the game! 1 to 1!

However, because Sir Alex Ferguson broke up the four little swans to use, Tevez, who had not created a celebration action with the 3R for a long time, unexpectedly did a celebration action that shocked everyone: he took out a pacifier from somewhere and sucked it!

This extreme contrast makes the seemingly angry Argentine beast even more beastly!

And Li Qi seriously suspected that the damn pacifier was hidden in the beast's crotch! Otherwise, where would it appear from after playing the entire game with a body of sweat clinging to the jersey?

Oh! No, the more I think about it, the more disgusting it becomes...

This time, the 3Rs rushed into the Blackburn net together to pick up the ball, definitely not giving Tevez even one more second to celebrate!

Let's kick off! Try to overtake the score!
