Chapter 279 Blackburn's past

Unknowingly, almost one-third of the league schedule has passed. After 13 rounds, Southampton barely ranked seventh in the league with 20 points. It is only three points away from Arsenal, which is currently ranked third, but it is no more than five points away from the teams that are close to the relegation zone.But at present, the team basically has no pressure to relegation. The team currently in the relegation zone is more than ten points behind Southampton. As long as Southampton maintains this state, relegation should not be a problem.

This season, the situation of the red and blue hegemony has been obvious. Manchester United and Chelsea are fighting back and forth for the top position. They have opened up a certain point gap from the No.3 Arsenal behind them.

Currently ranked first in the league is Manchester United. The Red Devils took advantage of Chelsea's previous unexpected loss and successfully reached the top. Chelsea is one point behind and followed closely behind.

What is more surprising is Liverpool. The state of Liverpool this season is really bad. The results of the strong dialogue are very poor. Originally, the results will be improved. As a result, the direct duel with Arsenal was defeated by the opponent. Currently, they can only rank 10th in the league. It is really hard to say whether they can qualify for the Champions League this season.

Speaking of which, the worst this season may be the fans of Sheffield United. When it comes to the newly promoted this season, Southampton and Reading are the leaders. They are both ranked in the top ten of the league.

It’s okay if everyone is miserable. Now it’s their performance that is so good, and only my family is miserable. It is conceivable that the fans of Sheffield United must have been ridiculed by the other two fans on weekdays. This also makes the head coach of Sheffield United, Alexander. The pressure is off.

In this regard, the head coach of Sheffield United, Warnock, said that he has led the team for so many years, and he has seen a newly promoted perform extremely well in a certain year, but he has never seen two teams perform so well, which is really very rare.

Warnock also felt tired from suddenly having to deal with this inexplicable pressure.

The two fans of Reading and Southampton also dislike each other. Leaving aside the previous grievances, the history of the two teams competing for the championship last season is still vivid. In the end, it even forced the meritorious old coach of Reading to go to West Asia, and the fact that Reading lost the championship was even called the recurrence of Kevin Keegan's past.

So this season is actually quite rare. In addition to the drama of the red-blue battle for the championship, the miraculous performance of these two newly promoted horses has also attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. Some people pay attention to their results, some want to poach people, and there are many grievances and grievances between the two teams. In short, there are many things that are regrettable.

And this season's direct confrontation between the two teams will undoubtedly be a focus battle, and the distance from this game is already very fast!
Redknapp didn't think too much about it. He had to eat one bite at a time, and the game had to be played game by game. No matter how much the outside world played up, in his opinion, it was just an ordinary game, and there was nothing worthy of special attention.

Right now, what he needs to focus on is the next game, the match against Blackburn.

Many Chinese fans know that Blackburn has a nickname of "Violent Ben", which will give people the first impression that this team is a tough and hot team. In fact, this nickname has nothing to do with their football style at first.Because of this nickname, many fans put this hat on Blackburn's head based on the team's "dirty" performance in a certain game.

In fact, Blackburn is also a team that has created brilliance in recent years, just like the Blue Fox won the miracle later. In 1995, under the leadership of Liverpool's famous King Dalglish, Blackburn miraculously won the first Premier League championship trophy in team history.Before that, the history of Blackburn's championship can be traced back nearly 80 years, which was still far away in 1912 and 1913.

At that time, Blackburn had the famous combination of Shearer and Sutton on the front line, and they played very good-looking football. It can be said that they represent an era.

It's a pity that the team's big boss died later, the team lost a lot of support, and was once relegated. After that, Blackburn gradually returned to the England-style team with a tough style and a hot style of play.This has to be said to be a somewhat sad thing to think about.

In a sense, Chelsea is actually following the path of Blackburn. Blackburn is definitely the originator of the Premier League’s money-burning. Their good results come entirely from the investment of the team’s big boss Walker. He not only brought Dalglish, but also spent a lot of money to buy back many outstanding players.

It's just a pity that the death of the boss Walker dealt a heavy blow to the growing Blackburn, preventing them from getting out of the quagmire.

This is actually very easy to imagine. If Abramovich had an accident in the year after Chelsea won the championship, it is really hard to say whether this team can still have the status it is today. Without Abramovich’s continuous and generous investment year after year, at least it is certain that Chelsea would never be able to leave such a deep impression on the current fans.

The current Blackburn has basically become a weak team in the Premier League, but their tough playing style still makes Redknapp a little afraid. For such a team, it is best to think of a good way to score goals as soon as possible.Control the game, or you will feel better!
