Marcus Olsson: Blackburn relegation battle toughest challenge of career

Blackburn Rovers' January signing Marcus Olsson is determined to keep the club up.

Olsson, who moved to Rovers in January having left Swedish outfit Halmstads BK, admits he has never played in more important matches and is determined to do all he can to stay in England's top flight.

He told the Lancashire Telegraph: "There haven't been bigger games in my career than the ones coming up. City was obviously the biggest game being my debut but any game in this league is big for me.

"Everything is new for me as well and I am very happy to be here.

"Wolves, Bolton, and Sunderland are massive games. Everyone needs to start concentrating because we can't relax after just one point. We have to keep going for those nine points.

"I want to stay in the Premier League. Everyone wants to stay in the Premier League, and the club should be in the Premier. We have to be focused for the coming games."
