Whether Grant was further irritated was unknown before the game, as he was not in any interviews and no one knew what he was thinking.

Until the game, Ferguson got the answer - Grant was furious and wanted to settle the score with Ferguson.

Chelsea tried their best to attack at home and planned to defeat Manchester United. In fact, whether it angered their head coach or not, Chelsea would not let Manchester United go in vain at home.

The two sides have accumulated deep enough grudges in recent years. What Ferguson did was just to add firewood to the strong fire.

If Chelsea wants to attack, Manchester United will defend. Playing defensive counterattacks away is what Manchester United do well in doing. Ferguson is still afraid that Chelsea will not attack. Now, no matter how strong Chelsea's offensive is, Manchester United, who is used to this kind of scene, is patient with Chelsea amid the booings of the sky. The defensive counterattacks must be defended first. Chelsea fans in the stands tried every means to insult and stimulate Manchester United, but Ferguson's team was unmoved.

In this game, Chelsea basically surrounded Manchester United's offense and defense at halftime. However, the score has always been 0:0.

At the end of the ten minutes, Grant suddenly figured it out - for Manchester United now, the only result they can accept is to win, because Chelsea and Manchester United bit a tight spot, only a three-point gap, and Manchester United will fight with Arsenal after two rounds. If they don't win this game, Manchester United will be very dangerous. Then even a draw, it may be a failure for Ferguson. I can accept the draw, since that's the case...

He decided to let the team stop attacking, and dealing with Manchester United, getting a point was enough to make Ferguson furious. For this person who disrespects his opponent, the best revenge he can't get the result he wants the most.

Just to revenge on his opponent, Grant was already at a disadvantage in his realm.

At this moment, Ferguson replaced two attacking players in one breath, Van Persie and Macon, replaced the exhausted right back Gary Neville and Evra, and withdrew Cambiaso to play three central defenders with Rio Ferdinand and Vidic. Manchester United changed the image of being passively beaten and was in a mess. He began to take the initiative and dared to invest his troops when attacking - except for the three central defenders, everyone went up, no longer the pitiful way that only two or three people participated in a counterattack.

The defensive pressure was relieved and Manchester United's offense began to show its strength.

This sudden change of formation was unexpected by Chelsea. Manchester United suddenly strengthened the offensive and made them unable to withstand it.

In the 87th minute, Chelsea, who had attacked for 80 minutes, became a backward side.

1:0!

Van Persie raised her arms and shouted.

Manchester United finally won the game.

Ferguson left Stamford Bridge with a smile. Although Mourinho left, his unbeaten record against Chelsea is still continuing, and the grudge between him and Chelsea will continue...

By winning Chelsea away, Manchester United further consolidated its lead. With only four rounds left in the league, Manchester United led Chelsea by six points and nine points ahead of Arsenal. As long as Manchester United does not make a second, five consecutive championships are already waving to Manchester United.

And for Manchester United, which has been as stable as a rock over the years and the experienced Ferguson, is this possible?

The whole Manchester United team returned to Nottingham with a relaxed and pleasant mood.

"...The semi-finals of the Champions League are about to begin. England has three more teams to enter the semi-finals this season. This is a great revival of English football. Although our national team was eliminated in the European Cup qualifiers, the Premier League teams are still strong in clubs, which means our league is still the world's number one league..." The Sun was doing the preview of the Champions League and made a meaningless tout, the topic returned to the right track. "Liverpool and Chelsea will stage the English derby in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and Manchester United is not easy. Their opponent is Barcelona!"

"Chelsea's dream of winning the league this season must be hopeless. They can put all their thoughts into the Champions League, which is bad news for Liverpool. In the league, Everton and them bite very tightly, with the two teams only three points apart, and Liverpool is temporarily leading."

"After eliminating Roma, Manchester United welcomed another big club. Barcelona was suppressed by Real Madrid in the domestic league. Rijcard's only chance to save himself is the Champions League. What's more... Are there any old grudges between Manchester United and Barcelona?"

By the end, the Suns did not let Ferguson's team go.

Although there are still a few days before the start of the semi-finals of the Champions League, for three English teams that have entered the semi-finals, their focus has obviously shifted to the Champions League. Although the competition in the league is fierce, there are still four rounds. The Champions League is a home and away elimination system, and making a mistake in one of the games is likely to be fatal.

Against this backdrop, the 35th round of the Premier League started in full swing.

...

In the game that has ended, although facing the Champions League, Chelsea, who used a rotational lineup to play against Everton, still won, and they defeated Moyes' team 1-0 away.

The Arsenal vs. Reading match ended immediately, and Arsenal won 2-0 at home.

Before Manchester United and Liverpool played, the league standings were like this:

Manchester United is still the first, with 84 points, Chelsea is still the second, with 81 points, Arsenal is third, with 78 points, and Liverpool is still the fourth, with 63 points. Because Everton lost, Liverpool has the hope to widen the gap between the score with his arch-rivals in the city to six points.

There is actually no change in the ranking. Although Chelsea and Arsenal both won the ball, there is a three-point and six-point gap between them and Manchester United in the case of one more game, and their hopes of winning the championship are very small.

With Henry's departure, club senior executives change, and players renewal, it is not easy to achieve this result in the first season.

Manchester United players watched Arsenal's game against Reading in the hotel. Manchester United players were not surprised at all when Arsenal's victory, and the players did not exclaim any surprises. After watching the game, Queros urged them to warm up and prepare for their own game.

Today is April 19th, and Manchester United challenged Barcelona away on the evening of April 23rd. Logically speaking, Ferguson should use the rotation system like Chelsea, but he did not. Blackburn has a good record this season and is still ranked seventh in the league and has the ability to compete for the League Cup. Although Manchester United's strength is stronger than Blackburn, if you don't pay attention, there may be no one who has capsized in the gutter. Not to mention that this game is still at Blackburn's home court.

Therefore, Ferguson sent all the main lineup, and if nothing unexpected happens, this lineup will be the starting lineup for the Camp Nou Stadium.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar, central defender Rio Ferdinand and Vidic partner, left back is Evra, who has better offense, right back is Macon, who also focuses on offense, midfielder is parallel, Cambiaso and Scholes are in the middle, one focuses on defense and the other focuses on offense, left forward is Ribery, right forward is Cristiano Ronaldo, and forward Drogba and Torres.

The rotation is to give players better rest, but it does not mean that it is time to fight. Now it is time to fight, and Ferguson is unwilling to lose either the league or the Champions League.

He believes that the same is true for his players. Who doesn’t want honor and money?

Blackburn's head coach Mark Hughes did not expect that his mentor Ferguson would send all his main players to the home league when he was about to face the semi-finals of the Champions League... He was caught off guard by Manchester United.

In the first twenty-five minutes, Manchester United scored two goals. Manchester United players were full of fighting spirit and took advantage of the victory to take the lead 3-0 before the end of the first half.

This was the second time that Mark Hughes was surprised. After seeing Ferguson sending the main lineup, he was stunned for a while, but soon laughed again. Because he felt that Ferguson's rotation lineup was actually more unfavorable to him. At least that group of players would use 200% of their strength to show themselves in front of the head coach. If they were all the main players... it would inevitably be that some people would worry that they would not work hard before the Champions League semi-finals and that would give them a chance.

But how could he know how his former mentor told his players before the game?

"...Ah, I know you will be worried about getting injured before important games, and I am also worried. But I don't want to lose the league championship. What should I do? In fact, it's very simple. When I start, I actively look for opportunities and strive to end the game in the first half, so that the opponent will lose the idea of ​​dying struggle. We are naturally safe. The longer the game is delayed, the more we cannot score goals as soon as possible to establish an advantage, the more they will be ready to move, and at the same time, the greater their resistance will be, which is very unfavorable to us. So... facing a fierce opponent, what is the safest thing to do? It's not to hide, but to completely kill them with the thunder! The only person in the world who will not pose a threat to us is the dead."

So, poor Blackburn was beaten by Manchester United in the first half and had no power to fight back. After a storm, they realized that they were already three goals behind!

Mark Hughes, a former disciple of Ferguson, looked as if he was ashen on the sidelines. Blackburn is now ranked seventh in the Premier League standings. He has the hope of competing for the UEFA Europa League, and is considered a strong team in the Premier League. However, in this game against Manchester United, they performed like a new team at home who has never seen the world. (To be continued.
