In 2016, Blackburn not only won six titles, but also made a lot of money from the championship prize money.

This year, Blackburn Rovers have won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup, and Blackburn have also made a lot of money.

According to The Times, the winner of the Club World Cup will receive €5 million and the runners-up will receive €4 million, meaning that Blackburn Rovers have already received €5 million after winning the Club World Cup.

In addition, Blackburn Rovers also won the Champions League, which gave Blackburn a full share of the prize money of 15 million euros. Of course, the prize money in the Champions League is very heavy, and Blackburn Rovers received a total of 53.5 million euros through the Champions League, of which 15 million euros were awarded for the championship.

In the end, Blackburn Rovers received €4 million in prize money for winning the UEFA Super Cup.

Combined with the FA Cup and Premier League titles, Blackburn will have the most prize money in the world this summer.

The thrilling victory in the Club World Cup final made Blackburn start to be cautious after returning to the English game.

On December 30, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Chelsea lost away to the Rose Theatre, and at the same time, the 13-game winning streak was also ended. After this campaign, Chelsea are still at the top of the table, leading the second-place Blackburn Rovers with one less game, and there is no absolute advantage, which also means that the Premier League race has been opened again.

The battle for the title and the top four suddenly became confusing, and this season's Premier League is the top of Europe's top five leagues, both in terms of intensity and spectacle.

One of the key changes in the Premier League this season compared to the previous two seasons is that the top seven teams are far more able to grab points than the other 13 teams, as evidenced by the fact that after 20 rounds, seventh-placed Manchester United are nine points ahead of eighth-placed Everton. But another big feature is that the gap between the top seven points is not large. Chelsea lead the table by one point thanks to a previous winning streak, but defeat in this round means the Blues are not invulnerable, and with the Premier League halfway point remaining, that one-point advantage could be fleeting given that Chelsea still have to play with the big powers.

Not only is the title race chaotic, but the Premier League, which brings together a large number of Europe's hottest managers and Europe's most chaebol plutocracy this season, will be very difficult to compete for the fourth.

After 20 rounds, in addition to Chelsea with 49 points and Blackburn Rovers with 48 points with one less game, Liverpool with 44 points, Tottenham and Manchester City with 42 points, Arsenal with 41 points and Manchester United with 39 points are all facing great pressure to fight for the fourth. Even Arsenal, known as the "Race for the Four", has now fallen to sixth place in the standings.

This is undoubtedly a difficult situation for Wenger, the giants have come out of the slump, facing the limelight Contic Klopp, facing the rising Tottenham Hotspur, facing the trench Manchester City duo, saying that Wenger wants to compete for the title, I am afraid that the Gunners fans themselves do not believe it, and even if they fight for the fourth, it is far more difficult than before.

This season is obviously a bit more difficult for Blackburn to win the title than last season, although it is said that there is one less game, but not winning the top spot is the reality that Blackburn must face.

Blackburn are still under the control of Petr Cech this season, and their overall performance is still god-level, conceding 22 goals in 19 league games so far, which is similar to the giants, and Tottenham have only conceded 14 goals at their best, the fewest among the powers. The goalkeeper position is not much of a problem for Blackburn, even if Cech is injured and Trapp, both world-class goalkeepers are at Blackburn, but at the moment Cech is focused on the league and Trapp is focused on the cup.

At the back, Jurgen Klopp has traditionally used four defenders, and although the defence is much better than before, there are still holes. Left wingback Alaba is currently Blackburn's vulnerability, although his offensive performance is outstanding, and he is also very popular with fans, but often he can't come back when he goes up, and he is almost completely destroyed by his opponents for Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City, but in terms of defensive ability alone, Alaba is definitely top-notch, but Klopp needs to let him find his defensive responsibility.

Blackburn's most consistent central defensive line in the new season is the envy of football clubs around the world.

And this season, Phil Jones, who became the new captain of Blackburn, has performed at a super level, in addition, there is also a fire, which appeared after he became captain, before he was a quiet person, and was violated by Diego Costa against Chelsea last season, but this season is a clear change, as the big brother of the defense, shouting a group of teammates, making mistakes will speak out, and a few days ago he was given a five-year contract, and it seems that he is going to die at Blackburn.

Bellerin at right wing-back is also the team's big player, and he has become Blackburn's inevitable choice at a young age, and I believe that many fans like Bellerin, the most profound must be the goal that Chelsea caught up with to intercept Pedro, and the official website also made a short video for him. Bellerin can be said to be his promenade on the right side, with Neymar and Stella can be said to have strengthened the attack on the right side, and has also temporarily given two assists this season.

There are other defenders, such as Danny Rose and Daniels, who have not played much and are small but can help the team and have a chance to get the right pick. It's a pity that Zhang Lin, another right wing-back, although his strength is good, but the outside media is not very optimistic about his prospects at Blackburn, he has a body but skills have affected his football career.

Analysed Blackburn's backline and said a lot about Blackburn's defence. Turning the focus on the attacking level, we'll see how Blackburn burn in the second half of the season.

4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2?

One of the changes at Blackburn this season was the change in formation, which was 4-2-3-1 but played in what appeared to be a 4-4-2 formation, which was also the one that Jurgen Klopp preferred when he was in charge of Borussia Dortmund. This season, the players who have been seen at the front of the game are Antoine Griezmann and Harry Kane, with Neymar and Gareth Bale in midfield. And this season's formation seems to have made Blackburn's march smoother, more fluid than last season.

Jurgen Klopp has deliberately changed Griezmann from a shadow striker to a striker this season, and when Griezmann changes positions to the front, the goal rate has increased dramatically. After Sanchez played as a striker, he cooperated more with Neymar, Bale, and Harry Kane, both scoring goals and assists, and became the core of Blackburn, in addition to 14 goals, he also gave 7 assists. And Harry Kane, the golden boot of the league last season, has also changed his style of play this season, and the number of assists has increased, and he has scored 8 goals and 5 assists in the league at present.

Harry Kane and Antoine Griezmann have been in the back of the line, and although he was sidelined by injury at the start of the season, his performances have been getting better and better since his return, and he has improved a lot from last season. Every time he comes out in the reserves, he always gives a good answer, becomes a backup killer, helps Blackburn to steal a lot of valuable points, and relies on him to save the team against Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion, and Bournemouth.

Anthony Martial is another attacking tactic for Blackburn. His place at Blackburn Rovers is also quite important, and without his magic goal or stunner, Blackburn Rovers might only be in third or fourth place right now, so Anthony Martial has also become a wonder man at the Rose Theatre.

Relatively speaking, one of Blackburn's problems is that Rakitic's form began to decline, this season because of Klopp's tactical adjustments, Rakitic's form began to inevitably decline, and his evaluation of this season fans have also made many comments, most of them have a negative view of him, thinking that he is slow to control the ball, his running position is not flexible, and he does not have the outstanding performance last season.

Blackburn's attack is not too much of a problem, but players need to know how to control the form on the pitch, and sometimes the first half of the team can be described as disastrous, often in these situations to concede goals. Therefore, Blackburn Rovers will have better concentration in the second half of the season, which is the basic condition for winning the championship.

Throughout the first half of the 2016-17 season, except for Blackburn, Manchester City has a surprising star cloud of thickness, and Guardiola is famous there, but the recent results have been up and down; Manchester United are in a rebuilding period and have had a sluggish start to the season, but the Magic Bird has been in great form lately; Chelsea's system is in place, but there is uncertainty after the end of the winning streak; Liverpool have been in good form of late, but they will face some tough opponents ahead. Coupled with Arsenal's strong fight for four and the rise of Tottenham, the second half of the Premier League is bound to be even more exciting!

However, before the start of the second half of the Premier League, the 2017 European winter transfer window has opened, and the major clubs in Europe are starting to get busy, and they need to strengthen their squad in the upcoming winter transfer window.

When it comes to transfers, Premier League clubs are always one step ahead. Normally, it's hard to make a heavyweight deal in winter transfers, but this season may be a little different. (To be continued.) )
