The lineups of both sides were then broadcast live:

Blackburn's lineup (4-4-2): Friedel; Neil, Todd, Nelson, Grey; Bentley, Savage, Tugay, Pedelson; Kuch, Bellamy

Manchester United's lineup (4-3-3): Van der Sar; Brown, Vidic, Pique, Evra; Park Jisung, Scholes, Giggs; Fletcher, Dong Fangzhuo, Rossi

"From Blackburn's lineup, Hughes has to fight to the death with his old club. The game is definitely not easy!"

Rhinekoll smelled the smell of war.

Manchester United was humiliated when he drew with Bourne in the FA Cup. This time, he has sent most of the main lineups to visit Blackburn in the League Cup, and the new player Evra signed in the winter transfer also started.

The Blackburn coach replaced Dikov with Kuch in the starting lineup. Manchester United eliminated Blackburn in the 2003 League Cup, but in the last four encounters, Blackburn had the upper hand.

This is a terrible battle record, and Manchester United is still suffering. The game that Manchester United won is the first leg of the league this season.

Blackburn got a chance just 24 seconds into the opening game. Former Arsenal midfielder Bentley made a cross near the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area. Savage's left-footed volley from 10 yards in the middle was blocked by Van der Sar.

"Sure enough, Blackburn cannot be humbled."

Blackburn missed the opportunity again in the 5th minute. Pedelson made a cross from the left, Fletcher, who returned to defend and made up for the goal, failed to clear the opportunity. Bentley, who was far away, also missed the opportunity 6 yards in front of the goal.

"It almost happened that Manchester United had to concede two goals first!"

The terrifying Manchester United didn't stabilize their position until the 9th minute. Although the defense was still unreliable, the offense was still sharp!

New player Evra made a diagonal pass from the left, and Fletcher broke into the right side of the penalty area and made a comeback near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area. Dong Fangzhuo, who followed, pushed the ball with his right foot from 14 yards on the right side of the penalty area.

“goal!”

"Dong, he is now in the scoring boom period."

"He scored a goal in the League Cup."

"Nelson and Todd still haven't learned their lesson. Didn't they see the outcome of Campbell and Kloe's Kloe? Isn't this ball going to be done if it's rushed by Chinese Dong?"

Blackburn coach Hughes immediately cursed on the sidelines, his temper was quite irritable. In his opinion, the central defender was just two pigs!

Manchester United took the lead easily and then continued to put pressure on Blackburn.

In the 15th minute, Rossi made a cross from the left, and Dong Fangzhuo grabbed the landing point and swung back. Scholes shot low from 20 yards in the middle, but was confiscated by Friedel.

Then Blackburn immediately counterattacked quickly, Bentley made a cross from the left, Pique pushed the ball out, but the ball fell in front of Bellamy, and Bellamy shot half-volley at the edge of the left side of the penalty area!

Dong--

Van der Sar's save posture is quite beautiful, but unfortunately the ball still flew into a dead corner.

“goooooal!”

“Wonderful!”

“1:1.”

"Blackburn is unwilling to surrender, and Bellamy stages a violent aesthetic."

Of course, Manchester United is not showing weakness, they continue to strengthen their offense. Both sides made drastic slashes in the midfield.

In the 30th minute, Scholes dribbled the ball in the middle and then made a clever pass. Rosie, who was unguarded, broke into the penalty area. Todd left Dong Fangzhuo and blocked him, but Rosie cleverly hit him and avoided his block. Then Nelson also ran over, but Rosie knocked over Dong Fangzhuo, who shot 16 yards from the right side of the penalty area.

"Oh, is this another hat trick?"

"Rossi can shoot, but chose to pass the ball to the captain."

“2:1!”

In the 33rd minute, Bellamy was warned by a yellow card when he was dissatisfied with the penalty.

Manchester United fans were not happy for long. Blackburn tied the score again in the 36th minute. Nelson passed the ball from the left, Couch headed the ball, and after Pedelson got rid of Brown, he shot with his right foot from 12 yards on the left rib of the penalty area and entered the net in the far corner.

The score became 2:2.

"It's another big score game!"

In the 37th minute, Scholes tackled the frontcourt, but the referee did not make a penalty. Blackburns also tried to block it with tackle in the backcourt. Scholes was tackled, and Savage and Fletcher fell aside.

At this time, Fletcher suddenly beat Savage lying under him. Scholes also made moves aside. Referee Scholes also fell to the ground while persuading the fight. After Fletcher and Scholes were persuaded to leave, Savage lay in pain on the ground. Bentley and Brown who came up almost took action. In the end, Fletcher, Scholes and Savage were both warned by yellow cards. However, Savage, who had no behavior, protested against the referee's penalty...

The referee ignored it and resumed the game.

Savage passed a free kick from the left into the penalty area and was cleared by Vidic. Pedelson's volley from outside the edge of the middle of the penalty area was confiscated by Van der Sar.

Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack, Giggs passed Rossi, but Neal knocked down the latter who had a quick breakthrough in front of the penalty area. Giggs shot directly from 25 yards on the left and deflected, slightly above the crossbar.

Then Giggs took a corner kick from the left, and Dong Fangzhuo was sandwiched by Todd and Nelson, but he still grabbed the header from 7 yards in front of the goal, but the header that lacked strength was confiscated by Friedel.

Todd and Nelson looked at each other and were helpless at Dong Fangzhuo.

The two sides reached 2:2 in the first half, and then the side changed again, Ferguson could no longer hold back, allowing Ronaldo and Rooney to appear at the same time, withdrew Fletcher and Rossi, and Manchester United's offense continued to strengthen.

Just at the beginning of the second half, Park Ji-sung intercepted the ball in the midfield and directly sent the ball to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo made a diagonal pass by Rooney, and the latter's powerful shot from 25 yards on the left missed.

Blackburn missed the opportunity again in the 49th minute. Bellamy broke through the middle and made a clever pass. The unguarded Kuch shot from 16 yards on the right side of the penalty area and missed the near corner.

"Manchester United's luck is not very good!"

The one who solved the problem was Dong Fangzhuo, and Nelson passed the ball to Tujiayi.

Dong Fangzhuo broke the ball first and then stuffed the ball to Ronaldo on the right. Ronaldo broke into the penalty area and pushed the ball at the far corner at 14 yards from the left rib of the penalty area, but Blackburn's goalkeeper was quite brave and held the ball out with one hand with his right hand.

Park Ji-sung rushed to the wing and got the ball and passed it again!

Rooney nodded and headed the ball in front of the penalty area. Ronaldo attracted the defense in the middle. The ball fell to Dong Fangzhuo's feet. Dong Fangzhuo pushed the ball into the instep before Nelson.

"hat!"

"It's so crazy!"

"Two consecutive hat tricks!"

Taking the lead again, Ferguson immediately replaced Giggs with Smith...

After that, the game continued to be fast, but it entered a stalemate.

Smith and Park Ji-sung swept the midfield, Blackburn's physical fitness declined and he was unable to continue to organize an effective offense.

But after the fierce Smith rushed into the penalty area and was attacked and caught, Friedel had no intention of breaking the back of his head, and he was forced to leave the field for treatment.

Taking advantage of this time, Blackburn launched a crazy attack after replacing him!

In the 81st minute, Bentley made a cross from the right, and Cook rushed to the top at 16 yards on the left side of the penalty area. Pique watched the team be tied!

3:3!

Ferguson sent all the main players, but in the end he was still unable to help Blackburn.

In the end, the two sides drew 3:3, ending the first round of the game.

"Dong entered three, but he still couldn't bring a victory to the team..."
Chapter completed!
