On March 14, the 37th round of the English League One officially kicked off. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today was Blackburn's first game since losing to Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals, and Blackburn, who returned to the league, were holding their breath after being beaten in the last minute of the previous game.

They're going to show that losing isn't the cause of ability, it's just bad luck!

In the face of such a strange dynamic, Blackburn's opponents in this round should be a little more careful.

Bidding farewell to the two-line operation, Souness no longer has any scruples in the use of personnel, and is more bold and unrestrained, with the winter transfer period to join the team Ibrahimovic, Sun Jihai and Li Tie and others and the team run in better and better, but also gradually integrated into the team's style of play.

In fact, the best of the Chinese internationals are capable of rotating the lineup of most small and medium-sized teams in Europe's top five leagues, or even the main lineup, in terms of technical and tactical strength, but other aspects such as psychological quality, language communication skills and lifestyle restrict the play of their abilities.

However, Blackburn introduced three Chinese internationals at one time this time, and also hired several Chinese students for the three of them to take on similar assistant duties, so that the three quickly integrated into the team, fully exerted their abilities, and also completely gained a foothold in Blackburn, all of which are part of the team's regular rotation list.

In addition, the team is getting better at both ends of the pitch, the players are full of confidence and high spirits, and they have no worries about surging, and it can even be said that they are already looking forward to next season in the Premier League - like Arthur's ambitions, these young guys are not satisfied with the task of finishing the Premier League relegation next season.

Of course, such emotions are not all good things, the road is taken step by step, the meal is eaten one bite at a time, and it is easy to make big mistakes if you are impatient. However, the good news is that Blake themselves are in League One, and with the advantage of absolute strength, a moderate amount of pride will make the team stronger.

In front of such a current Blackburn Rovers, the vast majority of teams in League One are really unable to compete.

The momentum is like a rainbow, overwhelming!

Although Souness was well prepared for this game, and even thought of various plans like against Schalke 04, it is a pity that most of those changes did not have a chance to come in handy.

In the first half of the game, Blackburn, who lined up the strongest lineup, scored first.

Finnan, who likes to plug in, paid off, picking up David Dunn's split and scoring with a powerful shot into the spot, scoring his fifth goal of the season and his third league goal in the league.

1:0 did not satisfy Blackburn, who continued to attack ferociously.

However, the game did not go smoothly, and despite the continuous onslaught, Blackburn were unable to extend their lead until the end of the half-time.

That's the happy troubles that Blackburn are having in the league right now.

The annoyance is that most teams in League One now will be resolute in their counter-attacks against Blackburn, and will remain steadfast in their defensive footing even if they are behind the scoreline.

The happiness is that most League One teams have the mentality of treating less losses as winners in the face of Blackburn, and there is no doubt that Blackburn have regarded Blackburn as a strong team of a different grade than themselves, and this feeling of being looked up to is really pleasant.

After the break, Souness made a decisive substitution, and Drogba, who has grown rapidly this season, came off the bench again, replacing the team's defender Carsley, Alonso and David Dunn as the double midfielder, Benayoun as the central midfielder, Duff continued to pull the wing, and Ibrahimovic and Drogba partnered up front.

Blackburn Rovers stepped up their attack in the second half and soon paid off, and in the 69th minute, the home side finally got the goal they wanted.

Duff dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area, and after shooting from distance, he deflected past a defender who was too fierce and changed direction into the box.

The Birmingham centre-back frantically struck and dribbled with a sliding tackle to stop Duff from moving forward.

Undoubtedly, penalties!

Although he has only been with the club for less than half a season, Ibrahimovic has become Blackburn's first penalty taker.

Ibrahimovic, who has already scored 15 league goals for his team, withstood the pressure and hit the shot.

2:0！

After this goal, Birmingham gave up completely, and Blackburn then scored another goal in the 78th and 83rd minutes, 4:0!

After a disappointing defeat to Arsenal in their last game, Arthur's side finally enjoyed a hearty victory.

After the win over Birmingham, Blackburn Rovers were challenged at Wimbledon at Ewood Park three days later.

Blackburn's lads have been relieved of their Arsenal stunner after a big win in their last game, and they don't want to provoke the opponent with a brutal Wimbledon.

The process and result of the game accurately reflect the mentality of the players on both sides, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is not small, even if Wimbledon is full of gunpowder, but the result is not suspenseful.

The first half was a gentle affair between the two sides, with the visitors withstanding Blackburn's onslaught and keeping the back of the net intact.

They did very well at the start of the second half, but it was completely changed by a flash of inspiration from a Blackburn Rovers.

Duff followed up with a series of fancy moves followed by a very imaginative cross that Ibrahimovic ran past the oncoming ball, but then he swung his tail with a scorpion and scored a stunning goal with his heel.

Amid the incredulous exclamations of the crowd, Blackburn finally took the lead.

Once the deadlock is broken, there is no suspense in the rest of the game. Blackburn had the absolute advantage, while Wimbledon gritted their teeth with a belief in it.

At 1:0, Blackburn Rovers once again scored the three points in the plan.

In the 39th and 36th rounds of the league, Blackburn Rovers continued to soar, beating Burnley 7-0, Drogba ushered in his first hat-trick after joining the new team, and led the team to a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United three days later.

In the four games since the defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup, Blackburn have scored a total of 15 goals. Against Burnley, Blackburn Rovers won 7-0 away from home, the biggest margin of victory over the home team since the start of the season.

With back-to-back wins, Blackburn Rovers are firmly at the top of the table, 11 points ahead of second-placed Fulham, and 19 points behind third-placed West Bromwich Albion.

According to the rules, the top 2 teams in League One points will qualify directly for the Premier League, while the other 3-6 teams will compete for one promotion spot. After the end of the 46th round of League One, the 3rd vs. 6th vs. the 6th, the 4th vs. 5th, will take home and away games (not counting the away goal discount, and the total score will be tied directly on extra time and penalties.) Unlike the Champions League, where the aggregate score is the same, the rules for calculating away goals are different), and the winner of both will play a match at a neutral venue to determine the team that qualifies for the Premier League.

At present, West Bromwich Albion is in 3rd place in the league standings, with only 7 rounds left in the league, as long as Blackburn Rovers wins the next game, then whether West Bromwich Albion wins or not, Blackburn will qualify directly for next season's Premier League!

Therefore, the 40th round of the league has become an unexpected key battle for Blackburn!

April 6, Round 40 of League One, Ewood Park.

Blackburn Rovers, who had not been able to come to their home stadium for many seasons, flocked to the day and raised their ticket prices tenfold in order to see the team soar to the top the next year after being relegated to the First Division.

Absolutely blue and half in white, you can hardly see the colour of the jersey that symbolizes the visiting team.

The visiting Gillingham fans are pragmatic, and this season Gillingham are once again in the middle of the League One, with no hope of promotion, and they have chosen to watch the game at home rather than go to Blackburn's home stadium to watch each other celebrate.

Going to watch an away game like this will probably end up with the crazy celebration of their opponents, which will make them even more sad.

Fans think so, and so do Gillingham's coaches and players, content with what they are used to referring to as other people's backgrounds in the middle of League One, rather than spoilers.

However, once the game started, Blackburn, who was in a hurry to find the back of the net, was too impatient. Many of the attacking options were too simplistic, and the team was slow to form a real threat despite taking the initiative.

"Don't disgrace me, guys!" For the first time this season, Arthur chose to watch the game from the Jack Walker stands rather than from the chairman's box.

Before the start of the game, Arthur prepared a simple but not grand celebration to celebrate the team's promotion to the Premier League after two years.

And if this game cannot be won and West Bromwich Albion win, then Blackburn's direct Premier League date will be postponed, and Arthur's celebration will become a laughing stock.

However, despite this concern, Arthur is not in a hurry, because he believes in the quality of his players.

And in fact, Blackburn's players didn't worry Arthur for too long.

“gooooooal!” In the 42nd minute of the game, the deafening roar of the on-site commentator finally sounded at Ewood Park Stadium -

"Benayoun! Super Benayoun, opens the door to victory for us! ”

This goal, Alonso received David Dunn's return and then went straight to the left side of the penalty area, Ibrahimovic met the ball and was blocked by the Gillingham goalkeeper, Benayoun picked up the leak in the small penalty area and scored the empty goal, 1:0, Blackburn, who played impatiently in this game, finally broke the deadlock!

"Premier League powerhouses, we're coming, get ready to tremble!" Arthur suppressed his inner excitement, and in a low voice, he roared viciously.
