Sunderland Light Stadium. Novel.

Ferguson stood in front of the visiting coach's seat, looking at the Manchester United players warming up on the court, frowning.

He couldn't feel at all relaxed, but it was not just because of the opponent in this game, but also because he was concerned about another game held at Liverpool.

Black Cat Sunderland is currently ranked 17th in the Premier League, only three points away from Newcastle in the relegation zone. It can be said that he almost slipped into the relegation zone. This team, led by firefighting coach Rikis Braggia, has shown certain relegation ability, which is also the reason why Sbraggia replaced Roy Keane.

Ferguson felt both relieved and a little disappointed when he failed to meet his former beloved disciple.

Roy Keane was dismissed in early December last year. At that time, Black Cat Sunderland was deeply involved in the relegation zone and could not see any hope of relegation, so the board of directors decisively made substitutions, took Roy Keane and appointed the team leader, and Scotsman Rikis Braggia replaced Roy Keane.

Under the latter's leadership, Sunderland barely broke free from the quagmire of the relegation zone, but it was far from safe, so this team will definitely fight for relegation.

Everyone knows that what you fear most in the Premier League is to meet teams that do everything they want to rank, such as the championship or the Champions League qualification zone, but the most difficult thing is this kind of relegation team.

Whether they can stay in the Premier League is heaven and hell for them.

Both Scotsmen, Ferguson is not unfamiliar with Sbragia. The two were chatting politely just now, but after a while, he would not show mercy to his fellow villagers.

Manchester United's game was scheduled at 3:00 p.m., but Liverpool's game against Blackburn was at 12:45, a game specially advanced to accommodate Asian fans.

I have calculated the time, and the half should be over now, right?

Ferguson thought secretly, looked at the players who were warming up on the court, turned his head and looked at Sbragia in front of the home team coach's seat. He was still very confident in the team's away defeat to the Black Cat Sunderland, but if Liverpool beat Blackburn again, Manchester United would have to despair.

Thinking of this, Ferguson turned around and walked back to the coach's seat.

...

"What was the result of the first half over there?" Ferguson asked in a deep voice.

McFerran didn't need Ferguson to explain much, and he knew directly what the Scottish old man was asking about was referring to.

"The first half just ended and Liverpool led four to zero."

After saying that, McFerran looked up and looked at Ferguson, as if he wanted to capture some signal from the look in his eyes and the expressions on his face so that he could deal with and work in the future.

After hearing this, Ferguson was obviously disappointed and sighed.

"They got out of that miserable defeat!" The old Scottish man sighed in distracting mood.

Although Blackburn is not a strong team, he is definitely not a weak team.

Allardyce is an old fry in the Premier League, and his team has always been very good. The team left by Mark Hughes is also very good, which has caused Blackburn to lose a lot of players, but his overall strength is still there.

When they visited Old Trafford, they caused great trouble for Manchester United and almost failed.

From the bottom of my heart, Ferguson hoped that Blackburn would upset Liverpool. Taking advantage of the Reds' defeat in the Champions League by the 1-3 loss to Chelsea, and then put a trick on the wrong side. It would be better to completely break up Liverpool's morale. The ownership of the league championship is still full of suspense, but unexpectedly, Liverpool actually led four to zero in the first half.

God does not follow people's wishes, and Ferguson is also very helpless about this.

"Who scored the goal?" Ferguson asked casually.

Even if you die, you must know whose hands you die, right?

"Yang Yang scored two goals in the front, Daniel Ag and Gerrard scored two goals in the back." McFerran replied.

Yang Yang! It’s Yang Yang again!

Ferguson had the urge to go crazy because he felt that Yang Yang's performance was really good, and it was even a bit unbelievable. He had scored forty-one league goals so far this season, but he was still not satisfied.

Let’s look at the court. After scoring 31 goals last season, his favorite player Cristiano Ronaldo has obviously declined a lot this season. There are also a lot of news and things off the court, and his focus on football is obviously not as good as last season.

This person can really make people angry!

"In fact, even if Liverpool beat Blackburn at home, it would not be of any benefit to them in the Champions League. It is estimated that Benitez has seen the situation in the Champions League clearly, so he made the choice to protect the Premier League first." McFerland analyzed.

Ferguson looked at his assistant, with a little sad look in his eyes, because he didn't even see who he was facing clearly. Are Benitez and Liverpool the kind of team that can be content with ordinary people?

This is an iron-blooded legion that can stage a miraculous reversal of Milan in the Champions League final!

Perhaps other teams will make rational choices when they encounter their current situation, but Liverpool will not, they will not choose because they want them all!

Manchester United is crazy, why doesn't Liverpool be?

Sometimes, Ferguson really thanks Chelsea and Hiddink, at least he doesn't want to meet Liverpool again.

This team is full of terrible magic this season, as if it is invincible. Manchester United encountered them three times, suffered tragic defeats three times, and even suffered 1-6 at home. If they meet again in the Champions League semi-finals, the result will probably be more inauspicious, and Chelsea will have more chances and certainty.

But now, Liverpool has emerged from the shadow of a home defeat so quickly, and maybe it is possible to create a reversal miracle and reach the Champions League semi-finals. This is another major challenge for Manchester United.

The more Ferguson thought about it, the more distressed he became.

Liverpool this season is like an insurmountable hurdle, always standing in front of Manchester United, unable to move, unable to avoid, unable to avoid, unable to win...

Hiddink, just work harder!

Ferguson prayed in his heart.

…………

…………

In the evening, Stamford Bridge Stadium, London.

Hiddink breathed a sigh of relief when referee Peter Walton blew the whistle to the end of the game.

The scoreboard shows the final score of the game, four to three.

According to international practice, the home team Chelsea is in the front and the away team Bolton is in the back.

Before the game, no one would think that Bolton could create a threat to Chelsea, and even the game process was basically developed according to this line.

Hiddink's overall idea basically continued the away game against Liverpool, and it was only partially adjusted for the purpose of next week's Champions League, but there was no change in general.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Ashley Cole, Terry, Carvalho and Ivanovic, the midfield is John Obimekel dragged behind, Barack and Lampard are in the center, and the frontcourt is Maluda, Drogba and Karau.

This style of play is basically Chelsea's 3-1 away game to shock Liverpool. Hiddink hopes to continue polishing Bolton so that he can play it out next week when he plays against Liverpool.

In fact, the competition is basically carried out according to outside speculation and Hiddink's ideas.

In the 40 minutes of the first half, Kalau assisted Barack to score a goal, taking the lead for Chelsea.

After the second half began, Chelsea launched a series of offensives, first Lampard assisted Drogba, then Lampard scored his own goal, and finally Ivanovic assisted Drogba.

By the 64th minute, Chelsea had already taken a four-0 lead at home, which can be said to have basically laid the foundation for the victory.

Hiddink thinks so too.

After Liverpool led Blackburn four-zero in the first half, Benitez replaced two players, Yang Yang and Gerald, and Crouch was hidden in this game against Blackburn. The intention was very obvious, and he eventually defeated Blackburn four-zero.

After Hiddink led the lead with four goals, he also replaced Drogba and Lampard in one breath, and replaced Anelka and Deco.

His meaning is also very clear, that is, let the two main players rest and better prepare for next week's Champions League.

Although the away game score of 1-3 is basically an irreversible advantage, Hiddink is still very careful.

But as a result, the subsequent trend of the game caught Hiddink off guard.

Starting from seventy minutes, Bolton scored three goals in just eight minutes, two of which were headers from center Kevin Davis, and Cech, Carvalho and Terry all made very obvious mistakes.

After winning three goals in a row, Bolton was not even satisfied and continued to launch an offensive against Chelsea.

Hiddink responded decisively and immediately adjusted the team's defense, so he barely stabilized his position, but he was still forced into an extremely embarrassing situation by Bolton, and he almost capsized in the gutter.

Thrilling! Too thrilling!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, everyone in Stamford Bridge secretly smuggled in cold sweat.

Chelsea was almost tied by Bolton, which would be a great humiliation for Stamford Bridge!

But while she was in a state of shock, everyone was puzzled in their hearts, what was going on with Chelsea? Why did they suddenly attack such an offensive for Bolton?

Bolton can score three goals in seven minutes, but what about Liverpool?

You should know that in terms of offensive ability, Liverpool is the best in the Premier League this season, and even rarely has an opponent in the European arena.

If the same opportunity is exposed to Liverpool's offensive firepower, can Chelsea still maintain its advantage in the first leg?

Everyone began to worry and began to be scared!

Originally, they were determined to win and were sure to win, and they felt that the team was a surefire to advance, but now, they are all beginning to worry, not knowing what went wrong with Chelsea, nor whether Liverpool will create opportunities like Bolton.
