Chapter 408: Poke

At 20:00 on the 25th, British local time, there was light snow floating over Old Trafford, and the stands were overcrowded. Although it was this week, it could not stop the enthusiasm of Manchester United fans.
Blackburn, the proper Manchester United host, and the Manchester United opponents in the second round of the English League Cup semi-finals. They make Manchester United fans feel anxious. Even at home, they also feel that Manchester United has encountered a strong opponent.
Wigan Athletic eliminated Arsenal in overtime yesterday and advanced to the final. Manchester United drew Blackburn 4-4 in the first round away, but the victory over Liverpool last weekend was still a big boost for them.
Blackburn's two main forwards missed due to injury, Dikov missed the shoulder for 6 weeks, and Bellamy's thigh was injured. Kucci joined the former Arsenal winger Bentley, who had returned from the ban, to join the strikers.
But Manchester United also hurt a core figure. Scholes was scrapped directly due to eye diseases this season, which is likely to make Ferguson directly lose a whole set of tactics.
In the locker room of the home team, Manchester United manager Ferguson gave a series of passionate speeches.
"Advance into the final, this is our only goal."
"We are all about to explode Chelsea's chrysanthemums. Blackburn will have to kill it no matter how hard it is. We are going to Wembley."
"But we must not be illusory and take it lightly. We have to fight until the last second. The result of 4:4 tells us that if we want to kill them, we have to score one more goal, two goals, three goals!"
"This is our home court, and we are fearless."
"I don't want you to come back with a sad face when the game ends..."
"I don’t want your children to say ‘Hey, dad, you will lose to Blackburn at home, I can’t believe you have nothing’, go to hell...

"Then in the next year, we walked on the streets of Manchester United, and someone pulled us and said, Fack, you lost the game against Blackburn."
"..."

When the two teams were preparing to play at the entrance of the player, the head referee had been communicating with the fourth official and the assistant referee. They kept pointing at the snowy sky. The snow seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and they seemed very dissatisfied with the weather. The referee returned to the queue and started the game as usual.
The fans in the stands are still enthusiastic. Although snowflakes are gradually piled on them, they just want the game to start immediately, and then the result will be...
"Guys, come on."
In the stands, although Scholes had a problem with his eyes, he was still reluctant to leave Old Trafford Stadium on the game day. Even with his eyes closed at this moment, breathing the air of Old Trafford, he was also on the court. Teammates felt the same.
He firmly believes that he will be able to hear the cheers of the fans for a while...
On the sidelines, Hughes and Ferguson embraced enthusiastically.
beep
The game officially started!
After the opening, the two sides fought fiercely. The first round of 4 to 4 means that whoever wins this game can enter the finals, which has nothing to do with the goal difference.
Blackburn put on a posture with Manchester United as soon as they opened, and the big draw in the first round brought them endless confidence.
Blackburn took the lead to get the offensive opportunity. Central defender Nelson made a long pass to Bentley in the backcourt. Bentley directly took off early in the sprint and came to a super-long header.
However, his unreliable header attack immediately attracted a boo from the stands.
Manchester United's turn to fight back, Manchester United is not very anxious, but calmly fell in the midfield. Hughes’ Blackburn is really too fierce, their style is terrible, if Manchester United sends the ball forward, the effect may not be so good, so they have to play relatively patiently and try to keep the ball at Underfoot.
Seeing that Manchester United did not speed up the offensive rhythm, Blackburn quickly pushed up as a whole. Manchester United also speeded up. Carrick immediately passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo who was running back. Dong Fangzhuo looked up and the goalkeeper was special. Standing on the line of the restricted area, it came directly to the kick.
40 yards away, he dared to shoot! This is a kind of Dong Fangzhuo.
So far from the goal, he also has such thoughts, this half is Ronaldo and Rooney will do so.
Maybe he learned from Scholes.
But at this time, few people were surprised at what his subtle actions represented.
But someone in the stands raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but praise:
"This view is great."
call!
The ball flew towards the goal.
But Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel easily backed off, took the ball steadily and smiled.
It seems to be saying, this is also called hanging shot?
He has experienced a lot of hanging shots, but this shot does not have enough power!
Although Carrick’s tacit understanding with his teammates is far from enough~EbookFREE.me~ but he made up for this defect through a large-scale running, teammates always found that after taking the ball, Carrick almost appeared beside .
Maybe he really wants to show himself. When Keane has gone and Scholes is injured, this is the best performance opportunity. If he can play a stunning battle, then he can quickly become the center of Manchester United's midfield. Too. Although his rival Smith is also on the court, the two are not the same type at all.
However, Smith quickly told Carrick that it was completely wrong to ignore him. In the 8th minute, Smith severely intercepted Savage's breakthrough on the right, shoveled the ball and immediately handed it to Rooney.
Crossing with Ronaldo and running to the right, Rooney swayed in front of Tugay, flashing a small space, and immediately passed directly to Dong Fangzhuo.
The speed of the ball was very fast, and a blow came to Dong Fangzhuo, but Dong Fangzhuo was surrounded by Gray and Nelson. Gray grabbed a foot in front of Dong Fangzhuo to make a clearance.
But Gray's free ball hit Dong Fangzhuo's left leg, and then jumped half a meter in the air and landed at Dong Fangzhuo's foot.
The frizzy defender is a frizzy defender after all. There is no technical content or brain in the ball. Dong Fangzhuo is not so frizzy, even when facing the ball that fell to his feet.
Nelson behind him immediately stretched out his left hand to pinch Dong Fangzhuo's waist, and at the same time pushed his right hand hard, but Ma Fang that Dong Fangzhuo pinned could not move like a stubborn stone. At this time, he wanted to let Dong Fangzhuo lose his right and opportunity?
His right foot poked before Gray trying to regain possession.
Yes, the poke, not the volley, nor the shot, neither of the latter two shots came quickly. ) Book friends, pay attention!
