Blackburn Rovers had a tough time at Tottenham yesterday, but in the end Fernando Torres' goal helped the Blues take all three points, and Blackburn were able to equal the longest winning streak of 12 in the club's history. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two sides were quite fierce in this game, and although Tottenham were at the bottom of the table, they had an amazing will to fight at home, and Blackburn even paid the price of three yellow cards to win the game. Towards the end of the first half, Fernando Torres scored his 13th league goal of the season with a header and Blackburn's 12-game winning streak followed.

Carlo Ancelotti's 12-game winning streak was completed in a single season, while the previous team record was set by Jose Mourinho, and it can be said that in this statistic, Ancelotti has caught up with Mourinho and tied for the first place in the history of the Blue Devils.

There have been six consecutive wins of more than 10 games in a single season by four teams in the history of the Premier League, with Manchester United winning 11 in a row, Liverpool winning 11 in a row and Arsenal winning 13 in a row, with only Liverpool unable to win the title that season. In other words, Blackburn has already won the championship this season with a "statistic blessing".

In three consecutive 1-0 wins, Blackburn Rovers scored nine points, and Torres contributed two of those goals alone, which can be called the best guarantee for Blackburn's winning streak.

Torres was under siege at Tottenham in this round and had only two shots on goal and one shot on target in the game, but it was this header from the threshold that gave the team all three points. It was Torres' 13th goal of the season and his 50th for Blackburn, a feat that took 97 games to complete, the ninth highest efficiency in Blackburn's history.

The arrival of Carlo Ancelotti seems to have activated Torres again, and in this season's European Golden Boot rankings, Torres is second only to Cristiano Ronaldo in total points among all strikers in the five major leagues, ahead of Messi and Wayne Rooney, and the Spanish golden boy with the blessing of six crowns, is undoubtedly the hottest striker in Europe today.

However, Rao is on a 12-game winning streak and Blackburn Rovers are unable to occupy the top spot in the standings because Blackburn's record at the start of the season was too average.

With 17 rounds of Premier League games now played, Blackburn have 41 points – and the 36 points from their current 12-game winning streak mean that Blackburn have picked up just five points from their first five games at the start of the season.

In the first 5 rounds at the beginning of the season, Blackburn only scored 5 points with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, setting the worst start for Blackburn since Arthur took over.

Arthur's trust in Carlo Ancelotti is partly based on his recognition of Ancelotti's prowess, but also because in his previous life, Ancelotti's second season in charge of the team would always be under the spell of Waterloo - from Real Madrid to Chelsea.

And apart from Carlo Ancelotti, Arthur couldn't find a better manager for Blackburn Rovers at the moment.

The 2010-11 season for Blackburn started badly, objectively speaking, Manchester City's rapid strength made Blackburn encounter unprecedented challenges, subjectively speaking, Blackburn was plagued by the World Cup virus, and the fine-tuning of the squad also made people sweat.

However, after the adjustment, Blackburn's 12-game winning streak in the league and 5 wins and 1 draw in the Champions League group stage are enough to reassure Blue Devils fans.

Despite suffering two defeats in the first 17 rounds, Blackburn Rovers have once again set a new record for their best defensive stats in defence: only four goals conceded in 17 league games, hoping to break the league's best defensive record of 19 goals conceded in a single season in team history, and Blackburn's defense has maintained a strong consistency so far this season.

And compared to the unfavorable start to the league, Blackburn Rovers are extremely strong in Europe.

Since Carlo Ancelotti took charge of Blackburn Rovers last summer, Ancelotti has built an exceptionally consistent and technically capable team. Blackburn Rovers have been on the run for two years. Dream 2's Barcelona, Jose Mourinho's new Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich can't stop Blackburn's progress.

This dominance of Blackburn has been particularly evident this season. In Serie A, AC Milan led by Allegri can be called the strongest in the past three years, and the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness have been qualitatively sublimated. But even so, there is nothing to be done against Blackburn in the Champions League, especially at the San Siro home, although Allegri has carefully designed tactics to contain Blackburn, but it has no choice but to fail.

What would be the result if you don't defend to the death, but instead play an offensive instead of defensive strategy against Blackburn?

Ajax has put in the best sacrificial example of the season. The 54-year-old has been in football for more than 30 years, with a career spanning the Netherlands, Germany and England, but he can't do anything with Blackburn. The two teams met for the first time in the Champions League group stage, and it was understandable that they lost 0:4 away, but after returning to their home stadium, the 0:7 defeat can be said to be a temperless loss to Blackburn.

Speaking after the game, Martin Joel said: "It's not my problem to lose because it's the biggest opponent I've ever faced and we can't beat them at all. ”

Being able to make the opposing head coach surrender is the biggest compliment for Blackburn.

Coaching Blackburn Rovers is probably the most difficult position in football, and although he has the absolute trust of Chairman Arthur, based on the super excellent record of the past ten years, you have to figure out how to win well when the team wins, and you have to face the boos when the team loses.

And because of the attributes of Blackburn's black shop in football, it is often just run in last season and the championship is crowned, and you have to break the puzzle and start over again next season.

Every time I watch Carlo Ancelotti chew gum calmly on the sidelines, who knows how his heart is tumbling?

Arthur loves a manager like Carlo Ancelotti too much, because he can accept all of Blackburn's own, accept that the team is not up to him, accept that the buyer has no actual decision, accept that as long as he loses at home, there will be boos, accept that there may be many problems in the dressing room, and find ways to help this team improve.

Yes, from the perspective of human factors, Ancelotti's tactfulness and sophistication are the most important conditions for Blackburn's stability. Compared with the sabre-rattling of the Mourinho era, Ancelotti looks elegant, or cunning.

Sometimes individuality and resistance are useless, a clear stream cannot smooth out all kinds of relationships, only greasy lubricants can really make Blackburn united. There is no internal friction outside the game, no distraction outside the stadium, this is Blackburn's biggest guarantee of victory.

In the first half of the season, looking at the trend of the whole season, Carlo Ancelotti has accomplished the following things:

1. Further highlights the style of play that follows the technical flow: after the introduction of Ozil and Ronaldo, how will Blackburn structure the midfield. Ancelotti's answer is technical control. At the start of the season, 4-3-3, Mesut Ozil and Frank Lampard partnered in midfield, and although the offensive and defensive effects were average, the boss highlighted Lampard's role in midfield even more. For Alonso, Anshuai's arrangement is to drag down the midfield, mainly responsible for scheduling and transfer, and for Lampard, it is necessary to complete both the up and down tandem and the defensive end to cover the whole end, and Ancelotti has given Lampard more responsibility.

2. Torres's role and changes: As the team's top card, how to continue to use it efficiently is Ancelotti's biggest issue. Ancelotti's answer was to weaken Torres' individual attack and strengthen Torres' goalscorer attributes. Torres has the best final shot in the team, allowing Torres to reduce unnecessary ball handling and heads-up and play more of the role of goalkeeper, which can not only meet Torres's statistics for individual awards, but also help the team most directly.

3. The appearance of the two-sided forward midfield: The two-sided forward during the 12-game winning streak is the highest light of Ancelotti's command art throughout the season. With J Ronaldo and Bale leading the attack on both sides, combined with the midfield scheduling of Mesut Ozil and Alonso, this is Blackburn's most successful attacking routine all season. At the same time, strengthening the midfield's retention and support for Alonso with the retreat and coverage of Ronaldo and Bale, and better maintaining the coverage and strength of the hand, is the best choice for defense this season.

And it should be said that Ancelotti's arrangement gave the Ozil and J Ronaldo, who were not accustomed to the soil at the beginning of the season, the best entry point to integrate into the team, and gradually "really" occupy the main position, laying the groundwork for the future core position.

In general, Ancelotti's formation this season has basically switched back and forth between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3, but for the smoothness of the formation switching, An Shuai has not done it properly. Especially in the case of taking into account multiple fronts, there will always be huge problems in the transition between attack and defense, and the defensive pressure at the back is huge, but fortunately, the Blue Devils defense has reached an epic level this season, and it can be regarded as saving Ancelotti's life.

The rotation of players in the long season is a systematic project, although Ancelotti has been trying to rotate since the beginning of the season, but this season in addition to last season's regular Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup four fronts, Blackburn have also interspersed with the Club World Cup schedule.

Blackburn, who have just regained their best form with 12 consecutive league wins, will immediately go to the Middle East to participate in this year's Club World Cup, although there are only two games to play, but with the addition of car and horse, can the Blue Devils, who are back in the Premier League and Champions League, find their form soon?

"Carllo, we have to win this Club World Cup!" Just as Carlo Ancelotti was considering whether to use the substitute squad for the Club World Cup, he received a call from Arthur.

"Okay, I see." The corners of Ancelotti's mouth showed a hint of bitterness at this time. (To be continued.) )
