Football irons are burning

Chapter 338
The game continues.

In the 10th minute, Alves steals the ball in the backcourt, and then drives straight in. Using the cover of Giggs, he directly enters the opponent's penalty area.

Then seeing Li Tie's position, he sent another comfortable high ball.

Li Tie nodded and flicked the ball, and the ball went straight into the back corner, 2:0!

Blackburn goalkeeper Carlson had no choice but to sigh at the ball.

Before halftime, Alves made another cross from the left, Dong Fangzhuo headed the ball into the near corner, 3:0!

In the whole game, Carlsen fished the ball out of the goal 8 times. In the end, Manchester United swept Blackburn 8-0 at home and continued to lead the standings.

Such a big score is really a bit of a bully.

Blackburn's European dream has basically been stifled.

They came at the wrong time to meet a Manchester United who was wronged in the Champions League.

In the post-match press conference, Li Tie talked a lot this time, and played well. Of course, he can say what he says first.

"We played very well today, and we played well together. I am very satisfied with Alves' assists on the wing. He will become an important force for us to win the championship on multiple lines this season. My position is best to be at the top. I hope to score. This will bring the best results to Manchester United. There are still four rounds in the league, and our advantage is quite obvious. What? Chelsea lost? That's good. We have an 11-point lead and chased 11 points in four rounds.

Originally Chelsea did lose, they were defeated by Aston Villa 2:1 away.

In the Midweek Champions Cup, Chelsea defeated Bayern 2:1 and exhausted their energy, so it is not surprising to lose this game.

But this gave Manchester United a big surprise.

There are 4 rounds left in the league, chasing 4 points in 11 rounds, this is indeed a doomsday difficulty.

For the rest of the time, take good care of the Champions League. If you beat Bayern, you still have a chance to win the Champions League trophy. This season is not considered a failure.

Obviously, the suspense of this season's league championship has basically disappeared.

The next day, the media also agreed on this. There is no suspense for Manchester United to win the league this season.

On the other hand, the battle for No.4 is still heating up.

Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, and Arsenal have all won this round, and the points gap between the three teams is still 1 point!
Before the final round, I'm afraid it will not be easy to decide the ranking.

But in the next round, Arsenal will face Manchester United, and it is likely that they will fall behind.

In the 35th round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Arsenal away.

There are also many clashes between the two teams this season. In addition to the league, both teams have clashed in the League Cup and the FA Cup. In the current three games this season, the two teams each won one game and drew one game.

In this game, Manchester United only needs 1 point to reach the top of the Premier League this season.

Arsenal is obviously unwilling to let Manchester United win the championship at home, so before the game, Arsenal also said that they want to block Manchester United at home.

After the match day came, players from both sides stepped into the Highbury Stadium.

Arsenal are currently building a new stadium. This ancient stadium will soon complete its mission, and it is estimated that there will be two or three seasons.

After the game started, Arsenal did launch a fierce attack.

In the 8th minute, Chen Tao broke through the blocks of Fletcher and De Jong in the front court and then sent a through pass. Henry turned offside and entered the penalty area with a kick. Neuer bravely blocked the ball with his legs.

Then the opponent made a cross from the wing, Nigerian striker Kanu headed the ball to the top, and Neuer flew the ball out of the baseline again.

In these two attacks, Stam and Pepe were like wooden men, and they were messed up too badly.

This state is really worrying.

However, soon Manchester United changed colors.

In the 16th minute, Li Tie knocked Vieira down with the ball in the middle, and then sent a through pass. Dong Fangzhuo pushed and shot, and the ball was also blocked by Lehmann with his legs.

Two German goalkeepers, both good.

The corner kick was taken, and Dong Fangzhuo headed the ball at the first point. After the ball reached the back point, Giggs flew the ball into the goal, 0:1, and Manchester United took the lead.

Giggs' reaction was indeed very fast.

He laughed and ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, but it was not an exaggeration.

Now that Manchester United is going to win the championship, Arsenal is still fighting for fourth. This will obviously make Arsenal fans have a bad mentality. If you don't pay attention, you may be abused or even thrown by the home team fans.

After taking the lead, Manchester United played more relaxed.

Arsenal's offense became even more impatient. Henry made several shots, but they were obviously not rational.

In the 21st minute, Henry fell in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

In fact, Henry lost his balance and fell when he broke through. However, the referee didn't know who to look at.

Despite Stam's protests, the referee was unmoved and gave him a yellow card.

Henry then made it overnight and scored a penalty kick, 1:1!

In the 33rd minute, Henry fell in the penalty area again and won another penalty.

This time, he fell in one position. It seems that the referee is particularly fond of penalties today.

Li Tie has nothing to do about it. After playing for almost a season, the referees in the Premier League are not so good at communicating.

Stam once again suffered a dark loss. This should be an eye foul, and Henry was brought down, right?
Therefore, the penalty kick is still established.

However, this time Henry's penalty kick was saved by Neuer!
"Haha, boy, you did a great job!" Li Tie came over and hugged Neuer.

Neuer smiled and said: "Boss, he is too confident in the penalty, I thought I didn't know that he would punish in this direction."

Indeed, Henry was a bit overconfident. The two penalty kicks were directed in the same direction. Moreover, the second penalty kick was obviously not as powerful as the first one in terms of strength.

Neuer's reaction is not surprising.

After missing the chance to overtake, the mood of Arsenal players was obviously affected.

In the rest of the first half, the Arsenal players looked a little listless offensively and defensively, and made several mistakes, almost being overtaken by Manchester United.

The halftime score was 1:1.
In the second half of the game, Manchester United played a wonderful counterattack at the beginning. Li Tie made a stop in the middle to make Vieira eat his fart. He then made a light pick. Dong Fangzhuo entered the penalty area and stabbed before Lehmann. The ball passed Lehmann and rolled into the goal. 1:2, Manchester United took the lead again!
Dong Fangzhuo excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. This grab is indeed very good, and he can score 95 points.

In fact, Lehman also knew that something was wrong, so he attacked. Unfortunately, he was still a bit slow.

It can also be seen that Vieira's state has ups and downs.

When this guy is in a good state, he can prevent most people from going crazy, but when he is in a bad state, he is also a mess.

Li Tie played against him today and completely gained the upper hand.

In the PK of the two captains, Li Tie won completely.

After taking the lead again, Manchester United also shrunk back to defense and won the championship with a single point. It is definitely not difficult to keep this point.

And because there is a Champions League semi-final second-leg contest in the middle of the week, this game is the most important.

In any case, Manchester United have to save some energy.

Queiroz also made substitutions one after another. Dong Fangzhuo, Ryan Giggs and Fletcher were all replaced one after another. In the second round of the Champions League semi-final, the three will definitely be the main players.

After the game, it completely became Arsenal's offensive drill and Manchester United's defensive drill.

The two sides launched a rather boring offensive and defensive battle in Manchester United's half.

Of course, Arsenal don't want to lose at home, so the attack wave is higher than the wave.

Manchester United used their tenacious defense to make the opponent's offensive fail again and again.

Li Tie also returned to the backcourt to participate in the defense, which he often did, and as soon as he returned to the backcourt, the defensive intensity of the entire backcourt immediately increased to a higher level.

He's pretty laid back, he seems to be able to defend with ease, and even finds time to chat with his teammates.

The game time will soon run out.

However, just tens of seconds before the end of the final, Arsenal won a penalty again!
Henry picked the ball up and the ball hit Stam's chest. As a result, the referee thought it hit the arm and gave Arsenal a penalty.

Giving Arsenal three penalties in one game is a bit speechless.

Seen from the side, the ball really looked like it was hit on the arm, and the referee's perspective was wrong.

But it doesn't matter, there is no difference between 1 point and 3 points for Manchester United, and for Arsenal, 1 point does not mean much. They will be thrown away by Nottingham Forest and Liverpool in front this time. Maybe they can only play in the UEFA Cup next season.

Henry scored a penalty this time, but the game ended quickly, and the two sides eventually drew 2:2.

With this 1 point, Manchester United still won the Premier League championship in the 2002-2003 season.

This is also Manchester United's seventh Premier League trophy!
When the final whistle blew, all Manchester United people started to celebrate excitedly. The awards ceremony will be held at the last home of Manchester United, so today is just a few shouts.

Only those rookies will be very excited, after all, this is the first league championship in their careers.

For old birds like Li Tie, Scholes, Giggs, Gary Neville, etc., winning the championship is easy, and there is not much excitement at all. It feels like eating, and you are doing this every day, right?
Li Tie is also quite satisfied in his mind. He still did not let the champion escape in the first Premier League season. This honor still makes his career a complete step.

And he then exchanged this honor for a skill, and as a result, this time an S-level defensive skill came out.
