Chapter 628 Towards the Goal
Mark Hughes grabbed his head hard, and the Manchester United star felt as if he wanted to tear his hair out.

In the opening 7 minutes, they gave the opponent three corner kicks and were scored. How will they play next?
Mark Hughes immediately walked to the sidelines and made adjustments, hoping that the players could stabilize. At the same time, he also signaled that Bentley and Pederson should retreat appropriately to help defend the two wings of the backcourt, and stabilize their positions first.

Manchester United obviously knew Blackburn's wishful thinking and did not intend to just let the opponent go back like this.Yin Jun's strategy is to take advantage of the victory to pursue and realize Ferguson's strategic intention: end the battle in the first half!
This is the advantage of superior strength. After taking a one-goal lead, Manchester United continued to press in the midfield.

Especially in defense against Blackburn playmaker Robbie Savage.Manchester United's double midfielder Alan Smith and Fletcher are like a wall, blocking the Manchester United class of 92 members, especially Alan Smith.

In the 14th minute, when Robbie Savage wanted to break through with the ball, Alan Smith suddenly made a fierce shovel, which directly knocked the Welsh midfielder to the ground.

The referee Stiles clearly gave a yellow card, and Alan Smith did not argue, smiled at Stiles, and backed away.

This is his slap in the face to Savage, a Manchester United senior. The action looks fierce and lethal. In fact, no one will be injured at all, but it is very deterrent.

When Alan Smith was still playing for Leeds United, he was a well-known bad boy in England. He is not too good at such things.

………………

Savage was born as an apprentice player of Manchester United. Famous students during the same period included Giggs, Beckham, Gary Neville, Scholes and Nicky Butt. Savage was a striker at the time. One of the members of the championship team.Savage missed his maiden professional season for up to 1992 months due to hernia surgery. He failed to represent Manchester United's first team and was abandoned by Ferguson. He crashed and was hospitalized on the way home.

For this reason, Savage played desperately every time he faced Manchester United.

Savage himself is not a good opponent. With his rough style of play, he has the titles of "savage" and "killer king" in the Premier League. Now that he is being targeted by Alan Smith, he will naturally not let it go. For a while, he and Smith Tit for tat means.

This is in the arms of Manchester United!

As the brain of Blackburn's midfielder, Savage shoulders the heavy responsibility of organizing the team's offense, but now he is playing with Manchester United's defensive players, and his performance is naturally greatly reduced.

………………

Blackburn's midfield is restricted, and the ball cannot be played in the frontcourt, so the football is more transferred in the midfield.Manchester United has increased the intensity of pressing and pressing in the midfield.

At the beginning, Blackburn was able to cope, but gradually they couldn't keep up with Manchester United's rhythm.

Especially at the moment when the team turned from defense to offense, when Bentley and Pedersen both went up, and Manchester United's front trident pressed the defense, it was easy to make mistakes.

In the 22nd minute, Blackburn's Australian central defender Lucas Neal took the ball forward. Under Rooney's interference, he wanted to pass the ball to Tugayi in the midfield. The distance between the two was only ten meters, and it was originally a surefire .Unexpectedly, when Tugayi was about to hold the ball, Yin Jun suddenly sped out from behind and got entangled with Tugayi, causing the ball to roll to the left.

After catching the ball, Giggs quickly dribbled it in along the left, directly forming an on-the-spot counterattack after stealing the ball in the frontcourt.

Rooney also pressed forward immediately, and the two quickly formed a two-on-three situation in the left half.

Giggs has good skills at his feet and is very flexible with the ball. When dribbling at high speed, he can still clearly see the situation in the penalty area.After rushing into the penalty area with the ball, he quickly crossed the ball and passed the ball behind Rooney.

The New Zealand national team and Blackburn double captain Ryan Nelson originally blocked Rooney and the goal, the purpose is to prevent the little fat man from directly facing the goal, but Giggs' pass made him very passive.

Rooney understood, blocked Ryan Nelson with his body, and refused to catch the ball.

Just like that, the football slid past Rooney and rolled towards the penalty spot.

………………

"A quick counterattack from Manchester United."

"Giggs dribbled the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough, entered the penalty area, and crossed to the center."

"Rooney leaked..."

"Penalty kick, Yin Jun..."

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 22nd minute, Manchester United made another victory!"

"Yin Jun! Yin Jun! Scored the second goal of the game!"

"This is a very crisp shot with his left foot, and Yin Jun fully demonstrated the versatility of his left and right feet!"

"Friedel was incapable of stopping the shot!"

"Manchester United take the lead 2-0!"

After scoring the goal, Yin Jun rushed all the way out of the stadium, slid and knelt down under the stands where the Manchester United fans were, raised his head and opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug every fan in the stands.

Behind him, his Manchester United teammates rushed out and surrounded him.

"This is Yin Jun's first shot in this game, and he scored directly without expecting it."

"His ability to seize opportunities is indeed very stable, but Blackburn must also reflect on his defense."

"This is the gap in strength. Manchester United has been in a very good state recently."

………………

After scoring the second goal, Manchester United can be said to have completely controlled the situation on the field.The midfield playmaker Robbie Savage is restricted by Manchester United, and it is difficult for Blackburn to play a threatening offensive.

In addition, after conceding two goals in a row, it completely exceeded the expectations of the Blackburn players, which made them feel very anxious.

For a giant team like Manchester United, the League Cup seems a bit tasteless, but for an ordinary team like Blackburn, a League Cup is also a very important honor.

After Dalglish led his team to win the Premier League championship in the early days of the Premier League, Blackburn quickly fell and was once relegated.After entering the new century, he finally returned to the Premier League, but he never saw the hope of winning the championship in the league.

Now the team has managed to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup and is just one step away from the final. They are more eager to enter the final than Manchester United, and even win the cup in the end.

But the reality is that the game lasted less than half an hour, and they were already 0:2 behind at home!
If you lose at home, do you hope to go to Old Trafford in the second round to get it back?
Teams like Arsenal and Chelsea dare not think like this!
If you want to advance to the final, you must win the home game!
