Compared with the Tottenham players who have adjusted to their best condition and are preparing to dedicate a victory to the fans, Blackburn's desire to win and morale are obviously several levels worse than the home team. There are no ads on the mobile phone. It saves the most data. Duff, who left Stamford Bridge the summer before last, seemed to have taken away the last trace of the team's spirit. The departure of Black Wind and Shuangsha caused Blackburn to lose the two sharpest knives on the offensive end. In addition, Blackburn The management had no ambitions and ran the club with the idea of being content with being rich, which put Mark Hughes, who succeeded Souness as coach, into the embarrassing situation of "there is no general in Sichuan, and Liao Hua is the pioneer".
You know, Blackburn's two main forwards Paul Dickov and Steed only scored 11 league goals throughout the season, and their scoring efficiency was only as good as that of Andy Cole, who has transferred and left the team. Fair enough. This shows how weak Blackburn's offensive power is now.
Compared with the increasingly scarce offensive power, Blackburn is still doing quite well on the defensive end. As of now, Mark Hughes' team has the seventh-best defense in the Premier League, conceding only 43 goals. Considering Blackburn's lineup configuration, it can be said that it is extremely difficult for Mark Hughes to do this.
However, although Blackburn's defense can be said to be solid, when the team has been relegated in advance and is determined to miss the European war qualifications, and at the same time it is playing away from home, it faces the wolf-like Tottenham Hotspur. , Blackburn players who have no desires and desires naturally cannot afford much resistance.
Under the influence of this emotion, although Mark Hughes sent all the main players in this game, even the two core players Friedel and Emerton showed no interest in this game. Blackburn was The outcome of this league final game is naturally predictable.
Sure enough, after the opening whistle, Tottenham players, taking advantage of their home field advantage, launched a fierce attack on Blackburn's gate under the command of Alonso. However, Blackburn, who had no intention of fighting, could only control the game under the strong pressure of Tottenham. They retreated in the first quarter and relied on counterattacks to threaten the home team's goal.
In the 19th minute, Alonso, who moved to the left side of the midfield, suddenly sent an overhead pass and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Robben seized the opportunity of the Blackburn defender's slow turn to quickly receive the ball and get rid of it. Thanks to Lucas Neal's pursuit, he shot into the far corner and scored, helping Tottenham open the scoring, 1-0!
Robben's goal completely destroyed Blackburn's resistance, allowing Tottenham to take advantage in the following time, leaving the visiting team in a state of embarrassment and even more dangers in front of the goal!
No, just four minutes after Robben scored the first goal, Tottenham once again broke through the goal guarded by Friedel - Basturk passed the ball with a little more force, and Dominic Mateo thought the ball would He flew directly out of the sideline, so he didn't try his best to catch up, but he didn't prevent Ronaldo from catching up with the ball before it went out of bounds and then directly passed the ball with his right foot. Drogba, who was ambushing in the penalty area, jumped up high and hit Ryan Nelson and Andersen. Under the tight defense of the two Dee Todd, the ball was pushed into the door, two to zero!
Although Blackburn has twice tied with strong opponents such as Manchester United and Liverpool in the league this season, and even achieved five consecutive league unbeaten results, the reason why the "violent book" at that time was so The strong combat effectiveness was mainly because they were fighting for relegation at that time and did not dare to relax at all mentally. Now, with no danger of relegation in the league and no hope of qualifying for the European competition, Blackburn's lack of competition motivation has naturally revealed its true colors.
Tottenham, who were leading by two goals, completely controlled the initiative of the game, while the visiting team was always difficult to get rid of the predicament of being passively beaten. Regarding this situation, Mark Hughes could not think of any good countermeasures. He could only shake his head and smile helplessly on the sidelines - obviously, the former Manchester United star also knew the reason why the team's performance was so sluggish today.
In fact, Blackburn's form has shown a downward trend since they came ashore early in the relegation battle. Blackburn, which had only lost one game in the previous nine rounds of the league, had defeated teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton in the European theater. After that, Blackburn lost cleanly to Birmingham and Fulham. Sliding from the middle of the standings to the edge of the relegation zone.
After the start of the second half, the two sides changed places to fight again. Facing Blackburn, who still looks confused, Tottenham will naturally not let go of this great opportunity to add insult to injury and increase the number of goals, and also to please the fans. In the 62nd minute of the game, Drogba fired a shot from the center after Basturk's breakthrough goal, extending the lead to three goals. Then, 14 minutes later, Klose came on as a substitute. The shot scored and the score was changed to 4-0!
When the game entered stoppage time, Blackburn finally seized the opportunity and scored a face-saving goal - David Thompson forcibly overtook Evra on the wing and then passed the ball high, and Steve in the middle Dehua used his height advantage of 1.91 meters to grab the header before Vidic made a clearance. Veteran Dickov scored with a sweep shot at the 12-yard point, leveling the score to 1-4!
So far, Dickov and Steed, Blackburn's main strike partner, have scored a total of 12 goals in the Premier League this season, and Andy Cole, who has moved to Fulham, is alone in the league. The number of goals scored was the same, but at last they did not completely lose face.
You know, after the club sent away the Black Wind duo, Blackburn fans have been extremely dissatisfied with Dickov and Steed, a striker combination with low offensive efficiency. Now, the two of them handed over such a satisfactory report card at the end of the season, which can be regarded as a reasonable explanation to their fans!
Of course, in the eyes of Blackburn's senior management, the current striker combination is obviously better able to meet their psychological needs - the Black Wind Double Shams are certainly powerful, but their salary is also not a small number. Although the offensive threats of Dickov and Steed are not as good as the former, their strength is still quite qualified as the main force of the relegation team. The most important thing is that Dickov's salary is much less than that of Black Wind Shuangsha!
On the premise of ensuring that the team does not get relegated from the Premier League, all expenses should be cut as much as possible to increase profits. This is how Blackburn operates in the post-Jack Walker era!
In this way, with the cheers of the Tottenham fans in the audience, the Tottenham players at home easily defeated the visiting Blackburn Rovers 4-1, ending their 2004-05 Premier League season with a perfect victory. The journey of the league!
