In the long Premier League season, if there is really a battle for Tianwang Mountain, then for Blackburn this season, this game should be this weekend's double blue meeting against Manchester City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In this game at the Rose Theatre, only by winning, Ancelotti and Blackburn can truly announce to the world that the hegemony of the Premier League is still Blackburn!

Mancini and Manchester City are the sworn enemies that Ancelotti and Blackburn Rovers must run over on the road to revival. In a sense, we could even say that this game will be a do-or-die battle that will determine the trend of Blackburn's entire season.

Why do Blackburns have to win against Manchester City?

The first reason is the pressure of grades. Blackburn have been in very good form lately. However, looking at the current standings, Blackburn Rovers are still only second in the Premier League, still two points away from Manchester City at the top of the table.

Blackburn only need a win to reverse their opponents and move to the top of the table, and if they lose or draw, then some of the gaps that the team has managed to catch up with during the winning streak may continue to widen.

More directly, Blackburn Rovers are now facing a very harsh situation, if they are chasing the league for two consecutive seasons, it will inevitably show that Blackburn's Dominance of the Premier League has declined, so against Manchester City, Blackburn must go all out to win.

The second reason is morale. Against the "nouveau riche" Manchester City, it is self-evident how much difference between winning and losing affects the team, and the value of this victory and the shadow of defeat are greater than that of ordinary leagues. Blackburn Rovers look to be on the right track lately, and if Blackburn can take advantage of the win to win Manchester City, the team's morale and confidence will be further improved, and the team will be on the way throughout the second half of the season.

Conversely, a loss would take a big blow to Blackburn's resurgence momentum, which is undoubtedly the last thing Ancelotti wants.

The third reason is the gold content. For Blackburn, Manchester City are the strongest of Blackburn's title rivals and one of the best and most competitive teams in the Premier League at the moment, so this matchup will be a six-point battle, a top two game.

The fourth reason is that Ancelotti needs to prove that he is still as magical as he was when he defeated Mancini! In the past, Ancelotti was not good at playing tough battles in the face of strong teams, and in the face of strong teams, Ancelotti's championship temperament was not so strong, which was not a small gap with the style of self-sacrifice formed during the previous two coaches of Blackburn. Carlo Ancelotti will need a strong win to prove himself, and Roberto Mancini's City are clearly the best opponents.

On the other hand, lies in Mancini's Italian origins. So far, there are only a handful of Italian managers in charge of the Premier League, such as Roberto Mancini and Carlo Ancelotti, and Ancelotti has no way of escaping this kind of Italian civil war.

It has to be mentioned that Manchester City are arguably the strongest of the best in this season's conversation, and apart from the game against Blackburn, Roberto Mancini's side have already won against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal this season. Mancini, where Boateng, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger can't win, if Ancelotti wins, then Anfat will be enough to shut up the world's sunspots.

Considering the above factors, it is not difficult to see how important it is for Carlo Ancelotti's team to win the Blackburn game against Manchester City. Of course, we don't deny that with almost half a season to go, Blackburn Rovers still have a chance to catch up after losing to Manchester City.

But at a critical moment when the team's morale is high, at the critical moment when the team needs to grab points the most, and at the critical juncture when the team is expected to turn the tide of the season, if Blackburn can't get the rival who wants to win the most, it will have a negative impact on the whole team and Ancelotti.

Manchester City and Roberto Mancini have room to make mistakes and lose, while Blackburn, who have already made a lot of mistakes in the first half of the league, have not had such a composure.

Carlo Ancelotti and Blackburn will have to run over Manchester City if they want to fight back this season.

With Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City just around the corner, the two teams had already begun to fight with Ancelotti and Roberto Mancini at their pre-match press conference. Mancini said he was as calm-tempered as Carlo Ancelotti, and Ancelotti was quick to respond.

Asked if he felt he and Mancini were both calm coaches, Ancelotti said: "Maybe there are some similarities between us, but it's more certain that our other different qualities make us different people and different coaches. I think he's as hungry as I am, but I don't know if he'll be as calm as I am. But at the end of the day, it's just an important matchup in our careers. Everyone has their own personality and coaching style, and I, like all coaches, want to win. ”

"For the players and the fans, this game is about more than just three points. I think maybe they know the excitement better than I do. I've been in the past few months, and I've come to understand this feeling more and more. ”

Carlo Ancelotti also urged the Blackburn fans to cheer on the team at the weekend, saying: "I want the fans to stand with us. Actually, I got what I wanted and the fans have been supporting us, especially in difficult times. This is the best thing and the most important thing. This game means a lot to the fans and they need to make us feel their passion. ”

During the New Year's Day, the team's meritorious striker Didier Drogba has officially left the team, and Ancelotti also responded to the transfer rumors that Owen may also switch to the Chinese Super League team in the winter transfer period, he stressed how the price is not right, it will not be sold, Ancelotti said: "So far, we have not received a reasonable offer. If he doesn't leave at the end of the month, then we have one more person available. ”

In terms of injuries, Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Ashley Cole and Marcos Alonso will both be available for Manchester City.

In this game, Blackburn, who is sitting at home, is more optimistic. Blackburn have been in excellent form of late, with a lot of noise to win the Premier League and Champions League as they have an even better Bale this season.

If a change in personality can transform a person, then Blackburn must thank God for giving them a "new" Bell. When the Welsh wingers dominated the game again against Manchester United, there was no doubt that this was the best winger in the Premier League today.

Blackburn Rovers fans will remember that the BBC interviewed Bale when his move to the Theatre of the Roses was confirmed. During the interview, Bale not only fully showed his personality trait of not being a talker, but also said that he would rather watch TV with his girlfriend at home than mention everything related to football outside of work.

It's been almost three years since the Rose Theatre and before the game against Manchester United, Bale spoke to The Daily Telegraph again about his attitude towards life at Blackburn Rovers. Smiling and talking, it was clear that the Premier League Player of the Season accolade last season had made him extremely confident.

Bale, who has been the team's top spot this season, said: "I feel like if I had spoken a little more, I would have been more understood and respected. Maybe sometimes I'm under too much pressure, but I want to say, yes, I can be a leader. I was closer to the goal, but even if the manager asked me to play as a wing-back or a midfielder, I would now say: 'Okay, I'll prove it' because the team needs me to do it. ”

Against Manchester United, Bale proved that "I can do it" and "I can be a leader". It was less than 30 seconds before Hernandez created a chance, and in the 20th minute, Gareth Bale's beautiful left-wing break provided the assist for J Ronaldo, and it was also successful to tip the balance of victory and the league in Blackburn's side this season.

Before half-time, Bale, who had been performing well, had already been targeted for revenge by veteran Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand and veteran midfielder Ginger.

Clearly, helping the team knock on the door of victory, Bale was undoubtedly one of the biggest contributors to Black's instincts to win this important game. From not being the go-to player for Carlo Ancelotti's tactics before the start of last season to now being the heart of Blackburn's attack, Bale's cheerful personality changes are more positively reflected on the field.

In terms of performances so far this season alone, Bale has scored nine goals and provided 11 assists in 21 games on all fronts. On the left flank, Manchester United's Quaresma, Chelsea's Malouda, or Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria have all been far inferior to Bale this season.

Both Ancelotti and Arthur relied more heavily on Bale, with the former giving him trust, giving him a higher-up, freer position, and being rewarded. The latter, on the other hand, is already considering offering Bell another new contract.

Bale was undoubtedly a key figure in the game against Manchester City, but compared to the pre-match fighting style of the managers of both sides, the players on both sides were in harmony.

Players from both sides paid tribute to each other, and so on. Balotelli said those years at Blackburn were the best moments of his career; Petr Cech, on the other hand, says he has been nowhere near as good as Joe Hart this season......

However, it all has to be put in the game to be concluded.

……

"Well, I won't say anything more. It's not the first time we've played against Manchester City, so it's enough to focus on it. In this game, we first solidified our defense and counter-attacked, and then we waited until the end of the game when their spirit dropped and we looked for opportunities. 'It was Carlo Ancelotti's last rebuke in the dressing room before the start of the game against the players who were about to play.

Ancelotti paused for a moment and continued: "Luiz, you have to support the team more in the front court, use your ball control skills to stabilize the rhythm more, and be careful not to concede the ball easily!" ”

Suarez nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood.

“ok！ Then you can do it, remember, we are Blackburn Rovers, we have been through a lot of difficult games, and this game will not be difficult for us. Our goal is "Ancelotti deliberately dragged out the tail.

"Champion!" The Blackburn players shouted in unison.

Carlo Ancelotti nodded in satisfaction and watched as the players walked out of the dressing room one by one, patting them on the shoulders to cheer them on.

Blackburn Rovers starting line-up (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Cech

Forwards: Bale, Suarez, Torres

Manchester City starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Midfielders: Nasri, Yaya Toure, Barry, David Silva

Forwards: Balotelli, Aguero

The game soon began with the referee's whistle, and the double blue battle was again!

Neither side put too much effort into attacking play in the first five points, with Blackburn having to defend solidly at home, and they should not be reckless as they are to be challenged by Manchester City.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are going to test it and wait until they find their form before launching a full-scale attack.

But it's all too familiar between the two teams, and five minutes of testing and warm-up is completely enough, and it is naturally Blackburn Rovers who are at home to take the lead.

After Ozil dribbled past midfield, he was surrounded by Manchester City, with Barry and Yaya Toure all appearing beside him, as if they wanted Ozil to make a "round".

Mesut Ozil caught a glimpse of two Manchester City players around him who were eyeing him. While thinking about how to get rid of these two guys, suddenly Ozil's heart moved, and an idea came to him.

Immediately, Ozil accelerated the speed of breaking through with the ball and directly chose the direction of Yaya Toure to burst forward.

"Hey! Boy, do you think I'm a bully? Yaya Toure didn't laugh when he saw Ozil rushing straight at him.

In fact, Yaya Toure also almost joined Blackburn, but the intervention of Manchester City later made Yaya Toure's transfer fee increase sharply, and Blackburn immediately shrank back, which also made Yaya Toure always want to prove himself in front of Blackburn.

Just when Yaya Toure thought that there was going to be a "Mars collision with the earth" between him and Ozil, he suddenly saw that Ozil actually passed the ball, and after the pass, his speed increased by a notch, almost passing through him with a gust of wind.

"Yaya!" Barry, who was on the side, suddenly woke up a little stunned.

Yaya Toure was agitated and quickly turned to chase Ozil, while Barry on the other side was already following Ozil closely. (To be continued.) )
