"The Club World Cup must be won, there are no excuses!"

Arthur finally shouted the slogan of Blackburn's participation in the Club World Cup yesterday, which relieved many of the rest of the Premier League who were worried that the stars of the Club World Cup would be released by Blackburn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Arthur also had confidence in saying this, and the most common excuse for Ancelotti's defeat - injury - did not apply much in the Club World Cup. Blackburn's injury situation had improved significantly before the trip to Dubai, and by the time the Club World Cup final saw the likes of Frank Lampard, Marcos Alonso and Michael Owen available, the Blues were back in full fitness for the start of the season.

In fact, when facing Tottenham in the last round of the Premier League, the injury of vice-captain Frank Lampard was already unaffected. However, given the low temperature of the night in London and the significance of that game, Carlo Ancelotti did not let Lampard risk his game – after all, Blackburn have had a number of precedents this season that have led to the recurrence of old injuries due to the premature return of players.

With the Club World Cup current, Blackburn Rovers cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Alonso's situation is similar to that of Frank Lampard, with the Spanish midfielder still available, but his form has not yet fully recovered.

'I'm recovering really well and I hope to be 100 per cent in the Club World Cup. Now there are six days left until the Club World Cup, and there is still time. If nothing else, both Frank Lampard and Marcos Alonso are set to play in the Club World Cup final.

Given that the Club World Cup will be played in two tough games in three days, Blake should not have played Frank Lampard and Marcos Alonso in the semi-finals, at least not starting. Three days and 180 minutes of intensity is a bit too much for a player who has just recovered from injury, but the final will certainly be fine and Frank Lampard and Alonso will be aiming to find their best form before the final.

Owen didn't recover as quickly as Lampard and McConn, but the effect was positive. Now the former England golden boy has begun to participate in the whole team training, and his performance in training is still quite good, of course, there are definitely reservations in the intensity.

However, compared with the absolute mainstays of teams such as Lampard and Alonso, Owen's recovery is obviously insignificant.

As for the new injuries to Tottenham, Vermaelen and Darmian need not be worried. Vermaelen just felt some pain in pre-match training, and Damian was just hit in the knee by the opponent, this kind of hard injury is very painful, but it will not have any serious impact, and Ancelotti said after the game that the substitutions were all because he "didn't want to take risks".

With almost a week to go until the start of the Club World Cup, there is plenty of time for the tired Torres, the cold Ashley Cole and so on to recover, in other words, in Dubai, Blake could have played with the strongest squad.

Injuries are certainly no longer an excuse. Especially in attack, the return of several key stars has given people renewed hope for Blackburn's lackluster attacking routine.

As a result, not only Arthur, but also Blackburn captain Duff also issued a must-win order before Friday's departure. 'The injured have been working hard and I'm sure by the time we get to the Club World Cup everyone will be ready.'

"That's certainly good news because having a whole team means a lot to us. Chairman Arthur told us that he valued this trophy very, very much, and so did we. Now, we have to come together and work together to fight for this trophy and we have to give our all in Dubai to bring glory back to Blackburn! ”

On the second day of Blackburn's arrival in Dubai, on December 12, all the semi-finals of the Club World Cup will be decided, and AFC Champions League champions Seonam Ilholas will face Blackburn in the semi-finals.

European teams have never lost in the semi-finals since the Club World Cup restructured, but against Asian side Jonan Ichiwa, who have the advantage of being the "host", Blackburn midfield heart Torres said it will be a tough game.

Speaking about the upcoming Seongnam Ilwa, Torres said: "We can't just think about the final, you have to take it one step at a time in a tournament like this, the semi-final will not be an easy game, we have to focus on the first challenge first. ”

Blackburn's vice-captain Frank Lampard was more objective: 'We're strong and we've got a lot more experience in the tournament, but we respect every opponent. We will do everything we can to lift the trophy. ”

Blackburn's trip to the UAE is a sure bet and on 15 December, they will face Seongnam Ilhe for the right to play in the final, with Alonso expected to start. Alonso has been plagued by injuries in the past month or so, and Blackburn's starting midfielder has always been Argentina international Cambiaso, although Cambiaso's performance is decent, but it is true that there is still a certain gap with Alonso in terms of individual organizational ability.

Speaking to Sky TV, Alonso expressed a strong desire to fight: "Thank God, I'm in form now, I can't wait to play for Blackburn, the Club World Cup is very important to me and I've never been out for so long in my career. ”

Although the Blackburn stars showed enough respect for Seongnam Ilhwa in words, in reality, the two teams are not on the same level at all.

Blackburn have never played against Seongnam Ilhwa before, and the South Korean club that Blackburn has played against in the previous Asian tour is also Seoul FC.

In this game, although it was difficult and respectful, Ancelotti's lineup was not visible at all, the Torres + Druba combination and Bale, Lampard, Alonso and other absolute main forces were rested, Hernandez charged, Flamini, Chen Tao and J Ronaldo partnered in the midfield.

Just 4 minutes into the opening game, Bentley crossed a free kick from the right, Phil Jones nodded the ball in front of the header, and the ball hit Seongnam and the defender's body and bounced into his own goal, Blackburn 1:0.

In the 10th minute, Blackburn made a comeback, and Chinese international Chen Tao, who had a rare chance to start, was particularly excited against the South Korean team, but this time his header was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the 21st minute, it was Chen Tao who shot vigorously from outside the penalty area, and the football hit the upper edge of the crossbar and popped up the bottom line.

In the 32nd minute, Bentley broke through on the right wing and knocked on the middle of the penalty area, Hernandez stopped the ball and fired a low left-footed shot into the near corner of the goal, Blackburn 2:0.

Hernandez has scored in his UEFA Super Cup, league, Champions League and Club World Cup debuts this season, scoring in all four tiers, and is the first Blackburn player to score on his debut in the league, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

Then Seongnam Yi and the back waist were fouled, Chen Tao clashed with the opponent and had an argument, Chen Tao made the Italian national scolding "umbrella" action in response to the opponent, and then as long as the Chinese international got the ball, he was booed by South Korean fans.

However, Chen Tao's performance in this game was extremely bright, in the first half Chen Tao made 48 passes, 45 successes, 2 breaks, and one shot hit the goal frame.

Just 1 minute into the second half, Chen Tao broke the ball and plugged it straight, J Ronaldo pushed the pass, Bentley inserted the right wing into the penalty area and scored with a single goal, Blackburn 3:0. Bentley is in fine form with five goals in all competitions this season, fourth in the team.

In the 53rd minute, Chen Tao broke through with the ball and was put down by the opponent, and J Ronaldo scored with a long shot from outside the penalty area after winning the ball, Blackburn Rovers 4:0.

In the 55th minute, Seongnam Ilhe goalkeeper made a mistake in kick-off, J Ronaldo crossed from the right wing after breaking the ball, Hernandez shoveled the goal in the middle, and Blackburn Rovers 5:0.

Hernandez scored a brace for the first time since joining Blackburn Rovers this season, scoring seven goals and three assists in 11 games this season, averaging one goal in 68 minutes, which can be called an efficient goal.

After 5:0, Blackburn's attack still did not stop, in the 59th minute, J Ronaldo split the ball, Bentley shot diagonally from the left rib of the penalty area, slightly out of the far corner. Two minutes later, substitute Bale burst into the box on the left flank and fired a volley that bounced off the right post.

In the 69th minute, Blackburn took a tactical corner, J Ronaldo crossed from the right, Ivanovic volleyed the goal, Blackburn 6:0. Branislav Ivanovic scored his first goal of the season.

Blackburn have 18 players scoring this season, equalling last season's record. J Ronaldo has three assists in a single game, and he is the only one in the Premier League to score two hat-tricks of assists since he joined Blackburn.

In the 84th minute, Alonso, who came on as a substitute to find his form, crossed from the right wing, and agreed to substitute Drogba with a header in the middle of the penalty area, Blackburn 7:0!

Blackburn are unbeaten in 16 games in all competitions, equalling their biggest win since 2006.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Seongnam Il and the players on the field finally changed their dejected expressions, and rushed back to the players' tunnel almost like fleeing for their lives - they just wanted to play against the best team in the world before the game and learn from it, but they didn't want to be abused like now.

The camera also focused on Seongnam Il and the fans in the stands in time, and I don't know if there is a Korean girl with plastic surgery crying, this scene has also become one of the best footnotes to Blackburn's Club World Cup journey.

After a seven-goal slaughter of AFC Champions League champions Seonam Ilwa, Blackburn Rovers reached the final of the Club World Cup with their heads held high, while their final opponent was African champions Mazembe.

Mazembe broke with the usual European and South American teams competing for the Club World Cup in the 10-year history of beating Internacional Brasil in the semi-finals, with coach Ndiaye copying his starting line-up from the previous game.

Blackburn Rovers is the first time in history that they have played against an African football club - because of African economic reasons, Blackburn sponsors such as Arthur and Under Armour have never had a pre-season warm-up match for the "Africa Tour", so most of Blackburn's information about the situation of African football clubs comes from Arthur's investment in Ivory Coast Academy ASC Mimosa.

Out of the importance of the Club World Cup final and the unfamiliarity with the opponent, Carlo Ancelotti still played the main force in this final, and the Blue Devils rotated six players in the starting line-up.

Arthur, who had been staying in China before the game, finally arrived in Dubai, which was his first appearance outside the Rose Theatre this season, and Blackburn fans cheered for Arthur before the game, because everyone knew who was the most important contributor to Blackburn Rovers at the moment.

Before kick-off, the Mazembe players still knelt side by side on the goal line to hold a prayer service as they had done in the previous semi-finals, much to Arthur's surprise.

Then there was even more drama in the opening three minutes, when the "famous fan" Mario Ferry, who also stormed into the stadium during this year's World Cup semi-final between Germany and Spain, protested Lippi's refusal to recruit Cassano.

However, these little tidbits did not disrupt Blackburn's strength, and the Blues took the lead in the 13th minute, when Ashley Cole's cross from the left was met by an unguarded Drogba who shook off his African "brother" and scored with a powerful header from 10 yards, 1-0!

Torres then had a good chance to open the scoring when Bale headed in a corner, but Torres' header flew just over the crossbar.

Mazembe's pre-match prayers weren't all for nothing, as Blackburn had two chances to score in the next three minutes, both of which were missed: in the 32nd minute, J Ronaldo won a free-kick and Bale's curling shot from 25 yards out on the left was about to hit the bottom left corner, but it hit the post.

In the 35th minute, the defenders of the Mazembe team fouled Torres in the penalty area, but Torres's penalty kick was saved by the goalkeeper of the Mazembe team, and then Drogba's follow-up shot hit the goal frame again.

In this way, Blackburn could only return to the midfield dressing room with a score of 1-0 when they dominated the first half.

Don't say that Arthur is not satisfied with such a score, even Ancelotti is not at ease, so at halftime, An Pang issued an order to strengthen the attack.

After the start of the second half, Blackburn's offensive firepower was significantly improved compared to the first half, in the 47th minute, Ashley Cole crossed from the left, Drogba hit the right post with a header from close range and bounced back, but this time Torres shot into the net from outside the top left corner of the small penalty area, 2:0.

In the 51st minute, J Ronaldo took a free kick from outside the edge of the penalty area on the right side, and the ball went around the human wall into the near corner, 3:0.

Seven minutes later, Blackburn Rovers were back when Bale combined with Frank Lampard to kick the wall and fired into the far corner from 12 yards out on the left side of the box to make it 4-0.

Seeing that the outcome was decided, Carlo Ancelotti replaced Marcos Alonso and Frank Lampard, who had just returned from injury, and the fans applauded the two veterans who have been with Blackburn for more than a decade.

Seeing the 29-year-old Alonso and the 32-year-old Frank Lampard, Arthur couldn't help but sigh that time is urging people to grow old, thinking that when the two of them first came to Blackburn, they were still young guys, and now they are in their prime, and after two or three seasons, they will gradually no longer be able to sit in the absolute main position of the team.

After Alonso and Lampard went off, Blackburn's attack did not stop there: in the 90th minute, Bale counterattacked and burst into the left side of the penalty area to cross, and the substitute Chen Tao, who was full of vitality, shoveled into the net from the edge of the small penalty area, 5:0!

In the end, Blackburn slaughtered the opponent again with a score of 5:0, and lifted the World Cup championship trophy with the terrifying statistics of scoring 12 goals and conceding zero goals in two games, achieving the six crowns of the year! (To be continued.) )
