The 6th match of the second half of the season.
Blackburn played at home against Huddersfield, a mid-table team.
This game was also Blackburn's first test since adopting a new tactic.
Although the whole team was very confident about the new tactic.
But it had not been tested in a real game yet.
Therefore, how much power it could unleash in actual combat.
This was also a question that the entire Blackburn team was pondering!
This match, without a doubt, saw the home Blackburn fans packed to capacity once again!
After defeating Wolves in the previous match.
Blackburn fans were completely amazed by the team's crazy performance!
And the ensuing result was the fans' frenzy!
And Blackburn's performance did not disappoint the fans!
Just 10 minutes into the first half.
Captain Rhodes scored on the pitch!
It was Long Fei who sent the assist to Rhodes!
This goal sent the Blackburn fans at the scene into a frenzy right from the start!
Blackburn's performance then became increasingly impressive!
In the second half, Long Fei sent out another precise long pass!
This time it was center-back Hansen who scored.
He used a header to break the opponent's goal!
In the end, Blackburn won 2-0 at home against Huddersfield!
Although the final two-goal advantage wasn't particularly huge.
But this match was extremely satisfying for Blackburn fans!
Because throughout the entire match.
Blackburn played incredibly smoothly.
It was clear to see that the entire team was pushing forward with an attacking strategy centered around Long Fei!
And in this match, Dunn's performance also caught the eye of the fans!
It was because of his protection of Long Fei.
That allowed Long Fei to send out numerous threatening passes during the match!
This kind of smooth on-field control.
Was a very clear signal.
It showed that the current Blackburn had a very noticeable improvement in overall strength!
The introduction of the team's new tactics could be said to be very successful, achieving a great start!
The next league match.
Blackburn went away to play Fulham.
Fulham's league points were only three points behind Blackburn.
It could be said that this was a neck-and-neck battle!
In this match, Blackburn once again performed steadily.
Thanks to a brilliant long pass by Long Fei in the second half.
Rhodes scored the only goal of the match.
Blackburn won 1-0 away from home, emerging unscathed!
Thus, the team had achieved a seven-game winning streak in the second half of the season!
Blackburn, now on a high.
Had made all the Championship teams wary, not daring to underestimate them!
And in the 8th match of the second half of the season.
Blackburn faced another major test.
In this match, they would face Derby County, the team ranked fourth in the league!
This was a tough battle second only to the match against Wolves!
Fortunately, in this match, Blackburn were playing at home!
The Blackburn fans at the scene for this match were also packed to capacity!
And what was different.
In this match, besides the fans from the two teams.
There were actually fans from other teams watching the match live.
The reason for this was naturally out of curiosity!
After all, Blackburn, who was struggling in the first half of the season, almost relegated to the relegation zone.
How come they suddenly rose in the second half of the season, winning became commonplace, achieving an astonishing winning streak!?
Many fans from other teams wanted to come and see for themselves.
The young new signing from Blackburn, named Long Fei.
Just how capable was he, to be able to lead the team to such a terrifying second half performance!
And the Blackburn fans also wanted to see.
Derby County was a strong team in the Championship.
It was also a hot contender for promotion to the Premier League this season.
Going head-to-head against a team of this caliber.
Could the team show the same kind of form they displayed against Wolves!?
This was something that the fans were very concerned about.
After all, in the eyes of most fans.
The match where they overturned Wolves.
The team had a bit of luck in it!
Facing a strong team like Derby County again.
It was also a chance to test the team's mettle!
Derby County also did not dare to underestimate Blackburn.
If it had been in the first half of the season.
Facing this team on the verge of relegation.
Derby County wouldn't have cared at all!
But the situation was completely different now!
Current Blackburn had achieved a seven-game winning streak!
Furthermore, the team had also adopted a strategy of closely marking Long Fei!
They even assigned two defensive players to mark him!
Obviously, their own overall strength was very strong.
Plus, they paid a lot of attention to the opponent, to Long Fei.
After the match started.
Blackburn encountered great difficulties.
Dunn, Long Fei's bodyguard.
When facing one defensive player closely marking Long Fei.
He could still handle it easily.
But when facing two players marking Long Fei.
He found it a bit difficult!
At the crucial moment when the team was in danger of an attacking crisis.
Long Fei stood up!
He was willing to go one-on-one with the opposing defenders while dribbling and running without the ball!
This immediately alleviated Dunn's defensive pressure!
Actually, ever since last time he used the treasure chest.
To increase his strength stat to 79.
Long Fei had clearly felt.
That his strength was able to handle most of the opposing defenders.
A strength stat of 79 was already not low in the Championship!
But because the team had a tactical base.
And Dunn was protecting him.
Long Fei did not actively seek confrontation.
Because he had his own concerns!
But now, at a time when the team was in an attacking crisis.
Long Fei had no choice but to go head-to-head with the opponents!
However, when the second half arrived.
The thing that Long Fei had been worried about in his heart.
It happened!
That is, his stamina, in the face of numerous physical confrontations, was depleting faster!
Fortunately, Long Fei gritted his teeth and persisted.
And in the 74th minute.
He sent out an extremely precise long pass.
Assisting his teammate to score a goal!
Helping Blackburn to break the deadlock first!
Head coach Mowbray also saw that Long Fei's stamina was being consumed heavily.
To prevent Long Fei from getting injured.
He immediately substituted Long Fei off the pitch.
He replaced him with a defender.
The team immediately switched to an all-out defensive tactic!
After Long Fei was subbed off.
Although the team was subjected to the opponent's furious onslaught.
But amidst the cheers of the fans in the stands.
The team still held on.
They held on to the 1-0 score until the final whistle!
At the moment the match ended.
Long Fei, sitting on the bench, felt a weight lifted off his shoulders!
Blackburn had achieved an eight-game winning streak!
This was not only Blackburn's longest winning streak in team history.
But it was also the longest winning streak in the Championship in the past ten years!
"Long Fei!"
"Long Fei!"
"Long Fei!"
At this moment, Blackburn's home ground.
Had become a sea of joyous fans!
The fans were chanting Long Fei's name.
Most of the fans had stood up from their seats.
They were cheering loudly for the absolute hero of the match!
Long Fei also waved to the fans all around the stadium.
To the fans' support and love.
He expressed his gratitude!
Looking at the tens of thousands of cheers in the entire stadium, these lovely fans who supported him.
Long Fei felt in his heart that all his efforts were worth it!
