Chapter 288: The End of the League (Medium)

Compared to the Tottenham players, who have adjusted to their best form and are preparing to dedicate a victory to the fans, Blackburn's desire to win and morale are obviously several notches worse than the home team. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Duff, who left Stamford Bridge the summer before last, seems to have taken away the last trace of the team's spirit, and the departure of the black wind has made Blackburn lose the sharpest two sharp knives in the offensive end, coupled with the fact that Blackburn's management has no ambition and runs the club with the idea of being rich and peaceful, which makes Mark Hughes, who succeeded Souness, fall into the embarrassing situation of "there is no general in Shu, and Liao becomes a pioneer".

You know, Blackburn's two main strikers, Paul Dickov and Sted, have only scored 11 league goals in total this season, and their goal efficiency is only on par with that of Andy Cole, who has left the club (11 league goals last season). It can be seen from this that the attack power of this Blackburn team is so weak now.

Compared to the increasingly scarce attacking power, Blackburn has done quite well on the defensive end. So far, Mark Hughes' side have the seventh-best defence in the Premier League, conceding just 43 goals. Considering Blackburn's lineup, it is really not easy for Mark Hughes to be able to do this.

However, although Blackburn's defense can be called solid, in the case that the team has been relegated in advance and has confirmed that it will not qualify for Europe, and at the same time it is playing away, facing the wolf-like Tottenham Hotspur, the hopeless Blackburn players naturally can't raise much resistance.

Under the influence of this emotion, although Mark Hughes sent all the main players in this game, even the two cores of Friedel and Emerton did not show any interest in this game, and the outcome of Blackburn's final league game can be imagined.

Sure enough, after the opening whistle, the Tottenham players who took advantage of the home advantage launched a fierce attack on Blackburn's door under the command of Alonso, and the battleless Blackburn could only retreat under the strong pressure of Tottenham, relying on a counterattack to threaten the home team's goal.

In the 19th minute, Alonso, who moved to the left side of the midfield, suddenly sent an overhead pass and passed the ball into the left side of the penalty area, Robben seized the opportunity of the slow turn of the Blackburn defender to quickly start to receive the ball, and after getting rid of Lucas Neil's pursuit, he scored in the far corner to help Tottenham open the scoring, 1-0!

Robben's goal completely destroyed Blackburn's resistance mentality, allowing Tottenham to take advantage of the rest of the time, beating the away team in embarrassment, and the danger in front of goal continued!

No, just four minutes after Robben took the lead, Tottenham once again broke through the goal guarded by Friedel - Basturk was a little more powerful when passing, Dominic Mateo thought that the ball would fly directly out of the sideline, so he didn't try his best to catch up, but Ronaldo rushed to catch up before the ball went out of bounds and then crossed directly with his right foot, Drogba who was ambushed in the penalty area jumped high and pushed the ball into the gate under the strict defense of Ryan Nelson and Andy Todd, 2-0!

Although Blackburn has drawn with strong opponents such as Manchester United and Liverpool twice in the league this season, and even played a five-game unbeaten run in the league, the reason why the "violent book" at that time had such a strong fighting ability was mainly because they were fighting for relegation at that time, and they did not dare to relax at all in their mentality. And now, with the league relegation assured and European qualification hopeless, Blackburn, who lack the motivation to play, is naturally exposed.

Tottenham, who were two goals ahead, were in complete control of the game, while the visitors struggled to get out of the trap of being beaten passively. Mark Hughes couldn't think of any good response to the situation, so he could only shake his head and smile helplessly on the sidelines - obviously, the former Manchester United star knew very well why his team was so sluggish today.

In fact, since coming ashore early in the relegation battle, Blackburn's form has shown a downward trend. Having lost just one of their previous nine league games, Blackburn Rovers, who had left Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton all deflated in European places, then suffered clean defeats to Birmingham City and Fulham, slipping straight from mid-table to the edge of the relegation zone.

After the start of the second half, the two sides changed places and fought again. In the face of Blackburn, who is still a mess, Tottenham will naturally not let go of this great opportunity to score goals and please the fans. They extended their lead to three goals in the 62nd minute with Didier Drogba receiving Basturk's breakaway from the middle, and then 14 minutes later substitute Klose stabbed home to make it 4-0!

When the game entered stoppage time, Blackburn finally seized the opportunity to score a face-saving goal - David Thompson forced a high cross from Evra on the flank, and Steed in the middle took advantage of his height advantage of 1.91 meters to grab a header before Vidic cleared the ball, and the veteran Dickov swept home from 12 yards to make it 1-4!

So far, Dickov and Stede, the main striker duo of Blackburn, have scored a total of 12 goals in the Premier League this season, which is the same as the league goal of Andy Cole, who has already moved to Fulham.

You know, after the club sent off the Black Wind Twins, Blackburn fans have been extremely unhappy with the inefficient attacking combination of Dickov and Stead. Now, the two of them have handed over such an unsatisfactory report card at the end of the season, which can be regarded as a reasonable explanation to their fans!

Of course, in the eyes of Blackburn's hierarchy, this current forward combination is clearly more satisfying to their psychological needs - the Black Wind Twins are certainly powerful, but their salaries are also not a small number. Although the threat of Dickov and Steed on the offensive end is not as good as the former, the strength of the two is still quite qualified as the main force of the relegation team. The most important thing is that Dickov's salary is much less than that of the Black Wind Twins!

On the premise of ensuring that the team does not fall from the Premier League, cut various expenses as much as possible to increase profits. This is the post-Jack Walker era, Blackburn's way of doing business!

In this way, with the cheers of the Tottenham fans, the Tottenham players who played at home finally easily defeated the visiting Blackburn Rovers 4-1 and ended their journey in the 04-05 Premier League season with a perfect victory!
