At 20:00 local time in the UK on the 25th, there was light snow floating above Old Trafford, and the stands were crowded. Although it was mid-week, it could not stop the enthusiasm of Manchester United fans.

Blackburn, the dear Manchester United player, Manchester United's opponent in the second leg of the English League Cup semi-finals, made Manchester United fans feel a little anxious. Even at home, they feel that Manchester United has encountered a strong opponent.

Atletico Wigan defeated Arsenal in overtime yesterday to advance to the finals first. Manchester United drew 4-4 away with Blackburn in the first leg, but the victory of Liverpool last weekend was still a big push for them.

Two main strikers in Blackburn were absent due to injuries, Dikov was dislocated on his shoulder for 6 weeks, and Bellamy was strained in his thigh. Kuch and former Arsenal winger Bentley, who returned from the ban, joined the forward line together.

However, Manchester United also injured a core figure. Scholes was directly scrapped due to eye disease, which is likely to have made Ferguson lose a whole set of tactical play.

In the home team's locker room, Manchester United coach Ferguson delivered a series of passionate speeches.

"Advance to the finals is our only goal."

"We are almost bursting out Chelsea's anus. Blackburn will be killed no matter how difficult it is to chew. We are going to Wembley."

"But we must not have fantasies and take it lightly. We have to fight until the last second. The 4:4 result told us that if we want to kill them, we have to score one more goal, two goals, and three goals than them!"

"This is our home court, we are fearless."

"I don't want you to come back with a sad face at the end of the game..."

"I don't want your kids to say to you in the future, 'Hey, Dad, you will actually lose to the damn Blackburn at home, can't believe you have nothing', go hell..."

"And then in the next year, we were walking on the streets of Manchester United and someone grabbed us and said, Fark, you lost the game against Blackburn."

“…”

When the two teams were preparing to play at the player's passage, the referee was communicating with the fourth official and the assistant referee. They kept pointing at the snowy sky. The snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the weather. But in the end the referee still walked back to the queue and started the game as usual.

The fans of the two sides in the stands were still enthusiastic. Although the snowflakes gradually piled on them, they just wanted the game to start immediately and then the game would come to a result...

"Come on, guys."

In the stands, although Scholes had a problem with his eyes, he was reluctant to leave Old Trafford Stadium on game day. Even though he closed his eyes and breathed the air of Old Trafford, he empathized with his teammates on the court.

He firmly believed that he would definitely hear the cheers of the fans in a while...

On the sidelines, Hughes and Ferguson, the two masters and apprentices, hugged each other enthusiastically.

beep--

The competition officially begins!

After the opening, the two sides fought fiercely. The first round of 4-4 means that whoever wins in this game can enter the finals, and it has nothing to do with the goal difference.

Blackburn acted as a desperate stance with Manchester United at the beginning, and the draw in the first round brought them endless confidence.

Blackburn took the lead in getting the offensive opportunity. Central defender Nelson made a long pass from Bentley in the backcourt. Bentley took off in advance during the sprint and headed the ball at a very long distance.

However, his unreliable header immediately attracted boos from the stands.

It was Manchester United's turn to counterattack, but Manchester United was not very anxious, but calmly fell down in the midfield. Hughes's Blackborn was really too strong, and their style of play was terrifyingly tough. If Manchester United casually sent the ball to the front, the effect might not be so good, so they should play relatively patiently and try to control the ball under their feet.

Seeing that Manchester United did not speed up the offensive rhythm, Blackburn quickly pushed up as a whole. At this pressure, Manchester United also accelerated. Carrick immediately passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo running back. Dong Fangzhuo looked up and saw that the goalkeeper was standing on the penalty area line and kicked directly.

He actually dared to shoot at a 40 yards away! This is a bit atypical Dong Fangzhuo.

He also has this idea so far from the goal, and Rooney did this half.

Maybe he learned it from Scholes.

However, at this time, few people were surprised at what his subtle actions meant.

But someone in the stands raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but praise:

“This vision is great.”

call!

The ball flew towards the goal.

But Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel easily stepped back and jumped, took off the ball steadily, and smiled.

It seems to be saying, is this also called sling?

He has experienced a lot of slings, but this slings do not have enough power!

Although Carrick's tacit understanding with his teammates is far from enough, he makes up for this flaw through large-scale running. His teammates always find that Carrick almost always appears by his side after getting the ball.

Maybe he really wants to show himself. When Keane has left and Scholes is injured, this is the best opportunity to perform. If he can play a stunning game, he can quickly become the core of Manchester United's midfield. 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 fiercely tackled Savage's breakthrough on the right, tackled the ball and handed it to Rooney immediately.

Rooney, who had crossed and swapped to the right, flicked in front of Tujiayi, flashed a slight space and immediately passed Dong Fangzhuo directly.

The ball was very fast and hit Dong Fangzhuo with a whoosh, but there were two men around Dong Fangzhuo, who were double-teaming. Grey rushed to Dong Fangzhuo and kicked the ball in front of him.

But Grey's clearance ball hit Dong Fangzhuo's left leg, then jumped half a meter in the air and landed at Dong Fangzhuo's feet.

The frizzy defender is the frizzy defender after all, and he doesn't have any technical content or brains to clear the ball. Dong Fangzhuo is not so frizzy, even facing the ball that falls under his feet.

Nelson behind him immediately stretched out his left hand to pinch Dong Fangzhuo's waist, and pushed forward with his right hand, but the horse stance that Dong Fangzhuo had stuck could not be pushed at all like a stubborn stone. At this time, I want Dong Fangzhuo to lose the ball rights and opportunities?

His right foot stabbed before Gray, who was trying to regain the ball.

Yes, poking, not volleying, nor strafing, neither of the latter two shots came quickly.

He completed the shot as fast as possible.

Dong--
Chapter completed!
