The TV news was showing Ibrahimovic's arrival in Blackburn. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the picture, Ibrahimovic is standing in front of the camera lens, talking with an arrogant face: "I feel lucky for Shearer, because he left Blackburn Rovers ahead of schedule, otherwise with his strength, he can only be used as my replacement." ”

After the news was broadcast, many fans in England scolded Ibrahimovic as an idiot.

And the local print media on Fleet Street also pushed the boat and added fuel to the fire.

"Boss, it seems that this Swedish kid has some personality problems, could it be a thorn?" As a senior executive of Blackburn, Monchi naturally knew about the wind blowing on the club's players as soon as possible, and immediately reported to Arthur.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, we have too many 'good babies' in the team now, and having a player like Ibrahimovic is also a spice. Besides, as long as he doesn't mess around in the dressing room and on the pitch, he'll do whatever he wants. Arthur chuckled.

On the one hand, Arthur has known about Eevee's open-mouthed personality, and on the other hand, he also hopes that Eevee's characteristics can bring more attention to Blackburn.

In Arthur's opinion, at least this kind of attention brought by unconcealed words is much better than obscurity.

But, to be honest, Arthur also thinks Eevee's words are quite inadequate—provided you don't know the antecedents.

Many fans can only learn about the players from media reports, but they rarely know how the reporters on Fleet Street are ridiculing and provoking the players with a sloppy attitude - such a provocative attitude for the sake of news is simply provocative and even more irritating, because he has made you slap in the face and have nowhere to vent.

It's as if as a journalist of the uncrowned king, they can slander you with impunity.

And this kind of practice is very marketable, and many people feel that this is fair and objective, this is neutrality, and this is level.

In Arthur's view, one of the two most disgusting professions in the world is that of a journalist who is supposed to be sacred and impartial.

But Ibu was not happy to hear it, he was not used to seeing people pretending to be in front of him, and when he saw such a person, he felt like saying or doing something to disgust the other person.

It's just that such a character also makes him often push himself to the forefront. Just like this time, the local media on Fleet Street and almost all the fans in England scolded him, thinking that a Swedish boy would dare to speak wildly about England's legendary striker, and he must look good on the pitch when the time comes!

"Ibrahimovic is a top scorer in the Swedish top flight, but what level is the Swedish top flight? What about being the top scorer in a league at this level? The top scorers in the Swedish league are there every year, has anyone heard of their names? ”

"I can't imagine where this Swedish kid got the courage and confidence to say such things? Well, he managed to provoke the wrath of the English fans. Hopefully, he can recognise the gap between himself and Allan and then let his short trip to England come to an end! ”

"It's ridiculous that this player is seen as the next Shearer! He can't even beat one of Alan Shearer's toes! ”

Ibrahimovic's name spread throughout the British Peninsula overnight, and the vast majority of fans knew that Blackburn had brought in such a very arrogant and annoying guy.

But while Ibrahimovic was sitting in the high-end apartment he had offered him in Blackburn, he received a phone call that surprised him.

"Zlatan, how's it going? Feel the power of journalists in England? On the other end of the call was Arthur's thick baritone.

"Oh, Chairman, I didn't expect it to be you." The 19-year-old replied nervously that he really didn't expect the owner of the club at the highest level to care so much about him and comfort himself personally.

"Well, it's true that British journalists are much better than Swedish journalists, and I just said that, I didn't expect it to have such a big impact." Ibrahimovic was also a little distressed - even if he was arrogant, he would not like this situation where the whole world is an enemy as soon as he joins a new team.

"Ignore them, as long as you can make a difference, all the ridicule and denigration of the past will make your success even greater!" Arthur's words made the young and immature Eevee feel a surge of blood in his heart.

"Zlatan, are you willing to be great with Blackburn and let these shameless reporters wag their tails and beg for mercy?" Arthur was teased on the day of the call.

"No problem!" Eevee replied excitedly.

Arthur has more or less robbed Souness of the job he should do, because the Scottish manager is really lacking in uniting players.

However, that doesn't mean Souness doesn't take Ibrahimovic seriously, in fact he and his coaching staff have studied the video footage of Ibrahimovic's game many times.

In fact, compared to the mediocre level of the team and the rough Gladbach, if a striker like Ibrahimovic can still be treated by Souness unseriously, he is really not a qualified manager.

It would be forgivable if Ibrahimovic was ignored last season, after all, Ibrahimovic at that time was like an ugly duckling, except for appearance, age and the occasional flash of inspiration to attract attention, there was nothing special about it, there were too many such center forwards to be worried.

But this season, Ibrahimovic has shown his goal-scoring superpower as a striker that has made him hard to ignore.

This has aroused strong concern and optimism from Souness.

How can a centre-forward, who is so tall and delicate as a samba boy who has a long-range shot from outside the box and an excellent last-pass ability, how can Souness, who is plagued by the lack of a striker, curb his love and impatience?

Souness feels that the only deficiency is that the center's ability to hold the ball with his back does not seem to have been formed, which is a bit of a sense of ineffectiveness. At the same time, although Ibrahimovic is 1.95 meters tall, his heading ability can only be said to be average compared to his height.

However, Souness knows that his request is also difficult for a strong man, after all, if all his requirements are met, Ibrahimovic's transfer fee will definitely not be 7.8 million pounds, maybe three or four times, and it is only a guaranteed price.

Compared to Ibrahimovic, although Drogba's impact is also outstanding, it is clear that he can only be used as a bridgehead on the front line, and compared to Ibrahimovic, who can continue to score goals for the team, he is like an unpolished jade. At least at this stage, Drogba's task should be to help the team tear apart the opposition's defence, not to build a strong team for the team.

But how do you link Ibrahimovic to the midfield?

Souness feels the problem has to be put on the three passers of Duff on the flanks, Benayoun and Alonso in the middle.

In Souness's envisaged tactical system, the main task of the three men is to constantly feed Ibrahimovic with cannonballs, and Alonso, although he has a mediocre forward awareness, is very good at penetrating passes, and his passes will be the main source of Ibrahimovic's goal in the middle.

Duff's crosses are mediocre, but he dribbles well and has a great ability to break through, and once he messes up the backline and sends the ball to goal, Ibrahimovic can easily score with an overhead kick.

Benayoun's role is similar to that of Duff, his task is to assign football to Ibrahimovic, Alonso or David Dunn, he determines the direction of the team's attack, and sometimes he also acts as a shadow striker, under the cover of Ibrahimovic, and launches sudden attacks.

As for Didier Drogba, he is a tactical playmaker in the light of Ibrahimovic's might, and his main task is to draw a certain amount of defensive attention to Ibrahimovic, and then come on as a problem-solving picker after Ibrahimovic is confined to death.

Souness and his aides have made arrangements for Ibrahimovic and his team-mates, but this is not something Ibrahimovic will do when he arrives at Blackburn. In fact, it started a week ago, which is also a reflection of the importance that Souness attaches to Ibrahimovic.

The only thing that makes Souness regret is that Ibrahimovic still needs to undergo a medical examination in the club's newly formed Blackburn Rovers laboratory before he can officially join the team, which makes the Scottish manager quite anxious.

After all, no matter how much you watch the video, it is better to practice it by yourself.

Blackburn's first game in 2001 was the FA Cup, as is customary for English football league teams: the first game of the year is guaranteed to be the third round of the FA Cup.

Blackburn's opponents in the FA Cup are Cardiff City, a professional football team based in Cardiff, Wales, who are not strong, and Blackburn should have no problem breaking into the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Before this game, the focus of the media was whether Ibrahimovic, who had just made a big fuss, would play, but soon the 18-man squad sent by Souness extinguished the interest of the media, and Ibrahimovic did not enter the team squad at all!

Ibrahimovic had only just practiced with the team once before the game, although Souness was pleasantly surprised by Ibrahimovic's strength and talent, but out of the desire to protect the players and from a tactical point of view, Souness directly excluded Ibrahimovic's name from the squad without thinking about it.

In fact, most of Blackburn's main players did not play in this game, and many of the main veterans stayed at Blackburn because Cardiff City's strength is really not worth mentioning.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, Sun Jihai and Li Tie, who joined the team, started on behalf of Blackburn and played the whole game, and Li Weifeng also came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute of the game.

In the end, Blackburn Rovers relied on the solid play of the backline to defeat Cardiff City 1-0 away and successfully advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

After the FA Cup tie with Cardiff City, Blake could have taken a breather in the midst of a packed schedule.

Their next game is not until 13 January, and 10 days from now, it will most likely be Ibrahimovic's first game for Blackburn.

(ps: Leave in advance for tomorrow, I'm going to take wedding photos tomorrow, all day, today is also from the decoration of the new house to take time out of the codeword, so take leave in advance, I hope you understand!) ）
