Team nicknames are also part of football culture, and a good nickname not only concisely summarizes the characteristics of the team, but can even integrate regional, ethnic, and cultural elements into it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, Brazil's "Samba Army" contacted the quintessential samba of Brazil, which immediately reminded people of Pele, Garrincha, Xiao Luo and other crazy demons; Germany's "Chariot of Will", which not only has the homonym of "Germany", but also sums up the tenacity of the German team, which is very wonderful.

This is especially true when it comes to clubs, which are now mixed in the top league often have a history of 100 years, and even the league itself has a history of 100 years, and their nicknames often have a historical allusion.

Of course, after Arthur and other Chinese fans came into contact with the European League, they also gave them some nicknames with Chinese elements. There are self-proclaimed fans of a loving nature, neutral descriptions, and derogatory abuse.

Blackburn's nickname, on the other hand, is a bit more prosaic, called Rovers.

In the UK, there are many teams called Rovers, Rangers, Wanderers, which originally meant that the team was not afraid to travel long distances and wander in pursuit of glory.

Blackburn's nickname is actually a divergence from the club's full name, which is the second half of "blackburn_rovers".

Blackburn Rovers also have another lesser-known nickname: the Riveriders, which has nothing to do with Middlesbrough's Riverside, which comes from the name of the home team's fan stands.

However, before the start of the third round of the 2001-02 Premier League season, Blackburn had a new nickname because of a maverick arrangement by Arthur.

If it's good, call Blackburn a "male model team", but the ugly one is......

As Blackburn's starters entered the 36,200-seat White Hart Lane stadium, the home fans in the stands erupted in a shocking uproar.

"Sissies!"

"Sissies!"

"From Lancashire the sissies who will make up!"

“……”

From the very beginning of the game, everyone was talking about Arthur's hiring a full-time fashion consultant for the first team and the coaching staff, fans, journalists, Tottenham fans, etc., everyone was talking about the lace news of Blackburn, talking about the new look of the players on the field, as if they didn't care much about the game itself.

They have that attitude because they're all waiting for Tottenham to crush Blackburn Rovers at home, and it's like a matter of course, something that will happen.

As many commentators say, "It's just a matter of time." ”

Even Blackburn's defeat to Manchester United in the last round was considered a coincidence, given that the Premier League has had too many upsets over the years.

But twenty minutes later, Blackburn's defence was still solid, and although the scene showed Tottenham Hotspur siege, the key was that Blackburn's defence was still standing.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Half an hour into the game, the score was still 0-0, and now the home fans at White Hart Lane are gradually starting to stop talking about Blackburn's fashion advisers, and many home fans are starting to worry about the team.

Their fears turned out to be warranted.

Football to Alonso's feet.

Alonso is at the heart of the team's transition and despite his age, he still shows the style of Arthur as he was with the Reds in his previous life, and he knows what to do when to do it.

Now all the team has to do is fight back.

After receiving the pass, Alonso glanced ahead and immediately kicked the ball in front of him, and the ball flew over 30 metres to Frank Lampard's feet.

Attacking and defending in different positions, Blackburn launched a counterattack in an instant!

Tottenham Hotspur half-time, Ibrahimovic, Duff and Benayoun ran forward quickly, and behind him Frank Lampard was also rushing forward with the ball, and these four were the arrows of Blackburn's counter-attack.

Of the four, Duff and Benayoun are top-notch fast wingers, while Frank Lampard is not slow.

Only Ibrahimovic has average speed, but he has a great sense of position and can always start before the opposition defenders.

Frank Lampard saw an opposition player stop him and looked up slightly to make a judgment and push the ball forward to the right.

Benayoun!

Benayoun is not as fast as Duff, but his other abilities are by no means weaker than Duff's, especially his running options, which are definitely commendable.

Benayoun took two steps forward after receiving the ball this time, and then crossed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

At the moment of Benayoun's pass, Ibrahimovic suddenly exploded and accelerated!

The Tottenham players who were responsible for defending Ibrahimovic were blocked by Ibrahimovic who threw off his long legs almost immediately, and it was too late to go around to the Swedish striker to intercept.

Ibrahimovic goes straight in!

The ball rolled diagonally towards the left side of the penalty area, Ibrahimovic ran straight forward from the left, and near the penalty spot, he received the pass.

Meanwhile, the Tottenham goalkeeper has already saved.

The Tottenham goalkeeper tried to block Ibrahimovic's angle and form a back-and-forth between the centre-backs behind Ibrahimovic.

But Ibrahimovic is not the kind of "lone wolf" type of striker, he chose to pass the ball horizontally!

Duff followed, and all he needed to do was finish with a shot in front of the empty goal, and the ball flew into the goal without any suspense!

1:0！

The White Hart Lane stadium was suddenly silent, and Tottenham fans looked in disbelief at the direction of their goal, and they watched Duff kick the football into the goal, and their hearts were completely at a loss at that moment.

Blackburn fans, on the other hand, cheered – even though there were just over 3,000 Blackburn fans coming to White Hart Lane today, their cheers outnumbered nearly ten times the number of rivals.

Among the Blackburn fans, many are singing the song that has just been arranged:

'We play well, we dress up and we are stylish, no team can beat us, no player is more handsome than us......

Amid the miserable singing of the Blackburn fans, the game soon resumed.

On the field, Tottenham continued to press heavily and continued to push the attack to try to score and equalize.

Although they have not been able to break down the Blackburn Rovers goal, this kind of aggressive attacking pressure has obviously had some effect, and it will be very difficult for Blackburn to play on the counter-attack, as they have to put most of their energy into defending to keep the goal in check.

Seeing that Tottenham's defense is full of holes, but it can't be exploited at all, Ibrahimovic stands in front alone and even gets it very few times, this very passive feeling is not good.

But Blackburn aren't in a hurry, as they are the leading side.

It's Tottenham who is in a hurry.

They had to seize the time to attack and attack again, and the defense at the back was not taken care of at all, but the morale was limited, and they could not attack for dozens of minutes in a row.

Around the 80th minute of the game, Tottenham's attack slowed down a lot, and it was obvious that the siege had reached a bottleneck in their physical fitness.

Even if they wanted to continue, they couldn't play at all, and the whole game of offense, their players were very physically exhausted, and Blackburn has been defending better.

In the 81st minute, Blackburn completed another wave of counter-attacks that could be used as a textbook case.

This time it was a collaboration between the two substitutes.

David Dunn's ability is average, but his comprehensive ability is very comprehensive, he is an all-round and not excellent player, Gillespie, who was born in Manchester United's academy, has a solid foundation and aura, and his strength belongs to the role that can be used as the core of the League One team.

David Dunn and Gillespie, who came off the bench this time, were full of impact, and played a quick counter-attack with three consecutive passes, and finally the ball was handed to Benayoun who was cut in behind.

When Benayoun received the pass, there was only the Tottenham goalkeeper in front of him.

Benayoun's mentality is quite calm, he was once the silver boot of the Israeli league, he faced a single opportunity, and calmly completed the hanging shot, and the football flew high and fell directly into the Tottenham goal again.

0:2！

"Benayoun! He scored the second goal for Blackburn! The last goal was also scored by them on a quick counter-attack! A solid defensive line, a quick counterattack by mercury, this is Blackburn's winning weapon! Many commentators began to face up to Blackburn's strength, and continued to appear in admiration.

Before the game, everyone thought that Blackburn would lose, and the best result was a draw, but now, two hours later, the score of the two teams is somewhat unexpectedly 0:2, and Blackburn Rovers is leading in the away game.

"Now that the clock is in the 82nd minute of the game, Blackburn have doubled their lead, and there should be no suspense in the game......

The Sky Sports TV commentator's voice was still a little incredulous.

He was surprised by Blackburn's performance, and surprised by the calmness of Blackburn's players, the game has been going on so far, Tottenham has suppressed the situation, but Benayoun's goal made the game directly out of suspense, Tottenham sat at home for nothing, and took advantage in vain, but they were two goals behind.

This goal also made the game completely suspenseless!

Tottenham attacked for a whole game without scoring a goal, but Blackburn used two counterattacks in the second half to complete two goals, the game will not be any suspense at all, one goal is still a bit of an equalizer, but two goals, how can Tottenham recover it?

No way.

Especially anyone who watched the whole game can come to this conclusion, because Mourinho's team is so consistent when it comes to defending.

This was also the case in the following game, although Tottenham kept besieging, but Friedel did not have a few chances to make a save in front of goal, until the referee Na blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the pre-game arrogant Tottenham still failed to break the door of Blackburn.

The final score was 0:2, and Blackburn, who were playing away, won the victory.

The entire White Hart Lane stadium was silent, with the exception of the Blackburn Rovers who took up a small part of the crowd cheering the victory, while the home Tottenham fans began to leave the stadium.

The commentator of Sky Sports TV made the final summary of the game.

"It's game over! Congratulations to Blackburn Rovers for their victory, they got the precious three points on the road! It's their third straight win in the league! After back-to-back victories over rivals Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, they have made a perfect start to the Premier League! ”
