After two consecutive wins and three draws, and the team's points dropped from the top of the table after the second round to sixth, in the eyes of many, Arthur, the 23-year-old team owner, may have a little dissatisfaction, but before the start of the fifth round of the league, Arthur attended the pre-match press conference and put pressure on Souness and the players in front of the media.

"In my opinion, although it is a bit regrettable that the team did not win in the fourth round, it shows that we still have the quality to score in the last minute and draw the opponent in the last minute when we are 1-2 down." Arthur, who has become accustomed to flashing lights, is more and more comfortable in front of a crowd of reporters.

'Our players are actually good, but we have to give them some time to get used to it, and I'm sure once we get it together, the team will be on the right track right away. There are 46 rounds of matches in League One, so I'm not in a hurry right now, after all, with 23 or 4 wins and 7 or 8 draws, you can qualify for promotion to the Super League. ”

After Arthur depressurized the team before the game, Blackburn didn't disappoint their boss either.

After Saturday's sixth round of League One fixtures, the Blackburn Rovers walked out of the pitch with joy and a hint of regret on their faces.

In terms of process, Blackburn, who are almost ahead of Nottingham Three, could have left with a big win. It's just that David Dunn missed a penalty, and the Nottingham team's "suddenly" goal allowed them to leave Nottingham's City Stadium with an unsatisfactory score of 2:1.

However, coach Souness's face was a little relaxed, after all, a victory with all three points had put Blake on the right track.

Confidence is sometimes built up through one victory after another.

In the seventh round of League One, Blackburn Rovers ushered in their second consecutive win of the season, beating Watford 2-0.

Blackburn's opponent Watford, although currently in 17th place in the League One standings, is one of the oldest teams in English football, and its strength should not be underestimated.

In the starting line-up, Friedel was undoubtedly the goalkeeper, with Henning Berg and Peacock in the middle, Finnan and Jeff Kenner on either side, Carsley and Marcos Alonso in midfield, Duff and Benayoun on the left and right wings respectively, David Dunn up front and Didier Drogba as a lone striker.

Only 19 minutes into the opening game, Blackburn Rovers took the lead in scoring, Duff, who has been hailed as the biggest discovery in League One this season, received Benayoun's side pass back to the point, outflanked the goal, the ball popped up after the neutral post, Drogba outflanked in place, easily made up for the empty goal, and the monster scored the second goal in the last three rounds of the league, which was not efficient, but enough to crush the team's competitors.

In the 36th minute, Didier Drogba showed his monster-like impact, and it was he who crushed the two opposing centre-backs after receiving Duff's cross, assisting Benayoun to complete the goal.

After the rematch, the Watford manager, who was eager to equalize, made frequent changes, but Blackburn's backline was rock-solid, so that the opponent did not form a goal, and finally Blackburn won 2-0.

Blackburn Rovers have won two in a row to move up two places in the standings to fourth.

"I'm very happy with the current situation of the team. After seven rounds, everyone is getting better and better, which is a phenomenon that I am very happy to see. 'That's what Souness said after the Watford game. Compared with the first five rounds of the league, Blackburn's recent competitive form has obviously improved greatly.

Blackburn's tactics this season are quite clear, with long passes as the mainstay, and more on the offensive than Duff and Benayoun, two super wings, focusing on crosses, which can maximize the role of a powerful center forward like Drogba.

In addition to playing the role of playmaker in midfield, Alonso will also act as a barrier in the area between the two penalty areas, which also maximizes his individual strengths.

There is also defensive stability, and the layering of Blackburn's overall defense, which makes the offensive firepower of Nottingham and Watford almost suppressed.

In terms of the main lineup, the current Blackburn Rovers team is enough to compete with any Premier League team. They even have the quality to beat almost any team.

'It's not easy to start any league game, so when we draw three in a row, it's not a reflection of the team's real quality. Desperate to find a presence, Mensa Bangsu said to reporters, "But we adjusted quickly and the players quickly got into the game. Judging by our recent performances, we have had a good summer transfer season and the team is starting to show an upward trend. ”

What's more, after two wins in a row, the mentality of the Blackburn players is starting to stabilise.

'Maybe after the first few rounds of the league we'll be a little bit of a muttering about what the team is like now. Blackburn's veteran captain Henning Berg said, "But once we played against Nottingham, we knew what we could reach. Sometimes the mentality is really important, if you are confident, then you will play normally on the pitch, even at a super level. ”

After the game against Watford, Blackburn's next game will be in late September due to the international break. This more than 10-day break came at the right time for Blackburn, who have no international players in the team other than Benayoun and Friedel.

Blackburn's most promising new star this season, in addition to Duff, the little king on the left, is Alonso, the core of the midfield. Although he showed a hint of discomfort when he first arrived in England, the Spaniard's performance in the second game proved that he was an important force for Blackburn.

Alonso, who is gradually beginning to find his niche, has already shown that he has no place in the team's tactics.

Of course, there is also a summary of the problems exposed by the two games, as well as further run-in of the team.

"During this time, the most important thing for us is to solve the problems that have been exposed before. The players are gradually finding their place in the new tactical system, but they are not fully compatible, and this is where we need to further grind. Coach Souness said.

Perhaps, such a "buffer period" will lay the foundation for Blackburn to take off.

After the first seven rounds of league matches, the strength of the top teams in League One has been revealed in front of everyone. Blackburn Rovers are still the focus of many clubs.

Many of the strong teams that are expected to be promoted to the Premier League this season have put a key asterisk on the game against Blackburn.

'Blackburn Rovers were a little bit off the bench last season, just a few people, and a lot of times we have the confidence to play in the second half because there haven't been too many changes. "But this season is completely different, there are almost no weaknesses, and the weak back has gone up a notch after reinforcement and Souness's adjustment. Playing Blackburn Rovers now, who dares to say that it is a sure win? No team dares to say that, neither home nor away. Looking at Watford's suppression in this way, it proves this even more. ”

The attention of other clubs is a good thing, but it is also a pressure.

It is an honor to be affirmed in terms of strength. However, the stern readiness of any opponent against each other undoubtedly "exposed" Blackburn to everyone.

However, the club has no worries.

"Any strong team will go through this stage when it grows up. Despise it at first, but slowly pay attention to it. Monchi, the club's sporting director, who appeared in front of the media for the first time, analyzed, "If you go through such a stage, it proves that you are a real strong team. Having said that, if we want to break into the Premier League, we have to compete with other strong teams face-to-face, so the importance of others is just a reminder that we need to prepare more fully for the game, and to some extent, it is also the motivation to push us to improve further. ”

Although Arthur has always insisted that he does not care about the results at the beginning of the season, Souness finally breathed a sigh of relief after leading the team to two consecutive wins, and the post-match press conference was also very interested: "Through 7 rounds of league games, the team's run-in has achieved initial results, the players have mastered my technical and tactical requirements and playing style, and the tacit understanding on the field is gradually improving." Now that Blackburn are on the right track, we're going to keep the momentum going. ”

However, after Blackburn Rovers won two in a row, Arthur, who increasingly likes to be interviewed in front of the media, did not appear, not because he didn't want to be in the limelight, but because he had already gone to the United States across the ocean to earn the next step in the team's development.
