After 20 minutes in the opening, the game was very open. Blackpool, who was in urgent need of a victory, made a full court close to Manchester United. However, they didn't create many shooting opportunities. On the contrary, Manchester United, who was a steady defender, created a lot of killing opportunities.
After 20 minutes, both sides have understood the opponent's tactical intention and play,.
Because Manchester United can win or even in this game, they have the initiative in the game. They have the right to choose tactics, attack when they want, and defend when they want.
Blackpool want to win, we must quickly score, only after the goal, they can focus on defense, after all, and Manchester United against it is too dangerous, at any time may lose the ball.
Blackpool's idea is very good, but their strength and Manchester United's gap is too big, Manchester United familiar with their tactics, soon found a way to deal with them, that is to avoid Blackpool's middle of the close and intercept, direct long-distance counter attack, using the strong personal ability of the front players to break through Blackpool's back line.
In the 28th minute of the game, Vidic succeeded in breaking the ball and passed one foot to Scholes, who made a long pass to Rooney.
Manchester United's counterattack went straight past the dense midfield and didn't give Blackpool a chance to return.
Blackpool defender Audrey intends to fight for the header with Rooney. Although Rooney is not tall enough, he uses his strong body to block the position. Audrey just can't touch the ball.
Seeing that Rooney wanted to stop the ball with his chest, Audrey worried that Rooney would give the ball to Berbatov, but he couldn't get the ball from Rooney, so he had to kick Rooney from behind.
The foul was very obvious. The referee didn't hesitate to give united a free kick.
Rooney tried to get a quick free kick, but Blackpool's full back was very experienced and kept him in front of him.
Scholes came to serve the free kick. Under Blackpool's strict defense, Scholes's free kick did not create too much threat, and the ball was headed out by the defender.
Then Blackpool continued to attack Manchester United, but under United's tight defense, Blackpool's ball was cut off by Gao Xiaodong as soon as it hit the front of United's penalty area.
Manchester United continue their long cross counter attack tactics, Gao Xiaodong a long pass to the front court to find Berbatov.
Berbatov is faster and more accurate than Rooney in the judgment of the ball's landing point. He grabs the landing point in front of the guard and flies to the rib of the penalty area with his feet.
Rooney just right from the sideline oblique into the penalty area, the ball is not high or low, Rooney almost no adjustment, straight instep volley to the ball to the far corner of the goal.
Rooney's shot was very comfortable. The ball roared into the net like a shell. Goalkeeper Gilks didn't even have time to make a save.
1: 0
the referee pointed to the middle circle.
United's goal this time only used three feet to pass the ball, counterattack quick sharp, lets Blackpool's fan and the player be stunned.
Manchester United fans immediately reacted to Rooney's crazy celebration. They jumped up and cheered at Rooney who came running, saying, "go, go, go Wayne! Wayne! Wayne
In the VIP box, Glazer's eldest son, evram, was more excited than his brother Joel. Instead of his original stable image, he rushed out of the box to celebrate for Rooney.
After the celebration, Joel saw that his brother was excited and worried, because he clearly saw that evram preferred Rooney and had prejudice against Gao Xiaodong. If his father left Manchester United to his brother, it would be bad for Manchester United.
Joel is the only Manchester United iron in the Glazer family. His love for Manchester United goes beyond his desire to make money for the family. He understands the significance of Gao Xiaodong to Manchester United and does not want anyone to replace Gao Xiaodong in the core position of Manchester United, even if he is Wayne Rooney.
Ferguson came out to celebrate with the coaching staff, and everyone's faces were smiling with relief.
Although Blackpool's strength is far behind that of Manchester United, football is not square after all. Anything can happen. The effort of a season is to bet on a game. Even an old man like Ferguson will inevitably feel uneasy.
But after the goal, Manchester United will be stable. With Blackpool's strength, it is almost impossible to score two goals at Old Trafford and not let Manchester United score.
The commentators at the scene also realized this. After Rooney scored, they were almost shouting that Manchester United were the champions and that they were stable.
Blackpool coach Allardyce was very dignified after Rooney scored. He asked the assistant in a low voice, "what's the score of the other games?"
Assistant said: "Birmingham and wolves are also 1 goal behind, Wigan Athletic and Stoke City 0-0, as long as we win, we can relegate, head, how do we play next?"
Allardyce looked at the timer, his face showed a determined look, said: "first shrink defense for ten minutes, and then attack."Assistant some confused asked why, Allardyce said: "they lead, we need to score two more goals to win, to Manchester United's veteran, certainly because we will attack out, we do not attack out, let them attack, when they think we have no confidence, give up the game, we will attack out."
The TA suddenly realized, "it's a surprise."
Allardyce nodded slightly, but did not speak, because no matter how good the tactical idea is, it still needs to be implemented. If the implementation is not in place and there is no goal, it is Utopian.
After United scored, they felt that the game was stable, because as long as there was a draw, United would win the championship. They felt Blackpool was fighting for relegation, so they shrunk their formation a little.
However, after United contracted their formation, they found that Blackpool didn't have a strong attack, and even the force of closing down was a little bit less.
Manchester United players are a bit surprised and confused. What's the matter with Blackpool? No physical strength or no confidence? This competition just 30 minutes, the physical strength trough can not be so soon empty, probably no confidence.
If it's an away game, Manchester United may be wasting time with Blackpool, but it's at Old Trafford. There are more than 70000 Manchester United fans watching the game, and it's another championship game. Manchester United players are not satisfied with the score of 1-0. They hope to win the final game thoroughly.
So after three minutes of recovery, Manchester United attacked again, and applied Blackpool's opening set to Blackpool. Blackpool, who was forced by the whole court, didn't dare to kick back in the backcourt, but could only keep kicking forward.
But even so, Blackpool made a lot of mistakes, which gave Manchester United several chances to shoot. Only because Blackpool is shrinking now, the number of backcourt players is large, and there is a big interference for Manchester United's attacking players to shoot, can Manchester United fail to score the second goal.
It's good-looking and more conducive to scoring, but there is too much space in the back court and there are risks. However, at the moment, Manchester United's players and fans are very relaxed. They believe that they can continue to score instead of losing the ball.
