----------
In the Stamford Bridge stands, Abramovich sat blankly in his seat. He assumed a posture similar to Aldridge's before the goal, with his chin on his hands and a slightly confused and helpless expression.
He values the Champions League more than the league. The Champions League has too much influence and is relatively more exciting.
Now at home, Chelsea is lagging behind. He naturally understands the Champions League rules and Chelsea's situation is precarious.
Abramovich originally thought that he was very patient, poaching Millwall people, and recruiting the next generation of young talents in advance. This was a long-term construction layout. Otherwise, spending heavily on current players would be the trigger for ordinary upstart teams.
In order to improve the aid policy, Abu Chando added youth training.
However, looking at Millwall's performance this season and the average age of Millwall's entire lineup, Abramovich believes that his past thoughts were a bit naive or optimistic.
How could Millwall fall easily?
Don't look at Chelsea's hot pursuit of Millwall in the league.
However, has Mourinho ever focused on developing Chelsea's young players during the season?
What about Millwall?
They were pulled closer to the points by Chelsea. In a sense, it was also affected by the record price Aldridge paid to train the newcomers.
Moutinho, Veloso, Messi, Ramos, and Millwall are not as crazy about giving young players room to improve as in the past, but they are always carrying forward the tradition they have always adhered to.
At this point of comparison, Chelsea has fallen into a self-destructive knot.
The first team can't train. What's the use of buying young players?
Glen Johnson, who was bought last year, almost disappeared this season. If things continue like this, what attraction will Chelsea have to young players, especially top talents?
The more he thinks deeply about these problems of running a club, the more headache he has, and it is not just the trouble caused by a dangerous game in the stadium.
Inside the stadium.
Mourinho was in a state of turmoil, and perhaps even he himself was not aware of any outstanding problems due to the media bombardment.
Because when Fleet Street looks forward to this Champions League rival derby, the voices from the mainstream media are not exaggerating.
Millwall's home stadium, the Lion King Stadium. This is indeed the devil's home stadium in Europe!
Almost all of Europe's top clubs have played guest games at the Lion King Stadium, but they haven't taken advantage there.
When Fleet Street "advised" for Chelsea, its tone was not one-sided "pessimistic" but "tragic"!
Chelsea need to get a relatively good result at home, and then they can hope to win at the Lion King Stadium in the second round!
Having learned from the disastrous defeat in the first round of the league match, Mourinho did not dare to attack Millwall throughout the game, but his main idea for this game was to suddenly exert force at the right time.
However, Millwall seemed to have foreseen it. They were waiting for Chelsea to lose control and loose their defense to attack!
A ball!
It was just a goal scored by Millwall at Stamford Bridge. But the coaches of both sides understood: Chelsea's Champions League journey has reached a critical moment of life and death!
There were no more disturbances in the first half. Chelsea did not dare to attack after losing the ball. They had to stabilize first. The sudden loss of the ball was a huge blow to them.
When the players from both sides came off the field and walked to the tunnel, the Millwall fans in the stands sang: "Chelsea, Chelsea, if you have the guts, attack it! If you have the guts, attack it!"
Mourinho's first season in charge of Chelsea is coming to an end. Not to mention Premier League fans, fans in Europe and even around the world have a mature impression of Chelsea.
Tough, solid defense, focusing on counterattacks.
These three characteristics are the most obvious.
Fans who don't like Chelsea will naturally ridicule them for only playing sneak attacks. In the coaching circle, there are also coaches who have played against Chelsea who are very disgusted with Chelsea. They criticized Mourinho's team for being overly utilitarian, such as in the round of 16.
The opponent, Barcelona!
Black Swan Rijkaard had a sharp conflict with Mourinho.
It's not unreasonable for Barcelona fans to hate Chelsea because they think Chelsea can't win. During the game against Barcelona, Chelsea insinuated that the referee was bribed by Barcelona because Mourinho claimed that he bumped into Rijka during half-time.
De walked into the referee's lounge, which was against the rules.
Aldridge rarely expresses his likes and dislikes of other coaches in front of the media.
There are some things that don’t need to be said.
He said it all without shaking hands with Mourinho.
Before the game, Aldrich's relaxed posture in the media was also interpreted by the outside world as a disguised mockery of Mourinho.
"Someone said that the way to lead a team out of Manchester United is to say to the players in the dressing room: Ruud van Nistelrooy earns more money than all of you combined! I am very curious whether the Chelsea coach can now
Say this to Chelsea players again to stimulate the fighting spirit of Chelsea players?"
In terms of stimulating the morale of the military, Mourinho will definitely not be able to motivate the team in the same way as he did when he coached Porto in the past. He can't talk about money now, he can only talk about honor.
However, when it comes to honor, how can Millwall's fighting spirit be weaker than theirs?
Chelsea is working towards its first Premier League title and first Champions League title.
What about Millwall?
He is the first player in the history of winning the Champions League!
They are only one Champions League away from tying the number of titles won by Real Madrid and AC Milan!
During the halftime break, Mourinho changed the team's technical and tactical play.
In the first half, he might have just fought for a short period of time, but in the end, he lost!
In the second half, maybe the entire second half, Chelsea will have to put everything on the line!
So what if they score a goal to tie the game?
1:1
Millwall has the away goal advantage, but Chelsea is actually still lagging behind.
Therefore, the goal in the second half is to score at least two goals!
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Aldridge returned to the coaching bench, reading the game with calm eyes.
Chelsea's style of play changed in the second half.
The back line was premised, the midfield was pressing hard, and the forward line also retreated to compress the midfield space.
If an ordinary team encountered Chelsea's style of play, they would not be able to survive.
Because Chelsea's midfielders have such strong sweeping ability, teams generally need to organize attacks in the midfield and link up excessively. It happens to be in this area, where there are so many people, that the chance of being intercepted by Chelsea and then playing a fast break is very high.
But Millwall is not afraid. They are already familiar with pushing the attack further back. The organization area is not only in the deep position of the midfield, but the entire defense line can organize the attack.
The good understanding prevents them from playing with fire by passing the ball at the back line. If they suddenly play like this, the players themselves will inevitably not adapt to it. But if they get used to this style of play for one year, two years, or even longer, they will
It will appear very relaxing.
Even if Chelsea gets the ball to organize an attack, Millwall's defense is very targeted. They pull back the defense, don't defend, and don't rush outside the dangerous area. The defensive formation in the dangerous area in front of the goal is very tight, always maintaining four sides.
Defender and double midfielder protection.
"Chelsea's shortcomings were very obvious in this game. They are not good at positional warfare. Even if Millwall only deployed a complete back line and double midfielders, Chelsea lacked the offensive end when they came to the frontcourt.
Changes, they don't have Ronaldinho, they can't pass highly concealed passes, and their side breakthroughs also lack power because there is not enough space. Now, they can only rely on long shots to end the offense, otherwise
, they may lose the ball due to hesitation, and then Millwall will play a fast break."
Millwall will press like crazy, and so will Chelsea.
But where there is a gap is that when Millwall overtakes its opponents, most of the opponents are surprised, or the difference in strength is too great and they collapse under the pressure. But there are also things that Millwall absolutely cannot overtake. For example, when they played against Real Madrid, Olympique
Delic will not let Millwall go crazy to press Real Madrid. The focus of switching from offense to defense is to retreat quickly and return to the defensive area first, because Real Madrid has the kind of top players who can accurately pass long and medium distances.
And a top forward with excellent running ability.
Chelsea's frantic pressing of Millwall has two disadvantages. First, the ball has been at Millwall's feet for a long time and they cannot grab it. Their physical energy is consumed quickly, especially if they burst into sprints and press for a short period of time.
If you have to take a breath and want to explode again, your body will definitely not be able to keep up. Secondly, Millwall also has top players who can accurately pass long and medium distances!
In the 69th minute of the game, Chelsea failed to hit a long-range shot and the ball was confiscated by Bute. Then, Chelsea's offensive players did not retreat and continued to press wildly in the frontcourt.
Millwall passed the ball back and forth three times on the back line, and finally Lahm sent the ball straight to the frontcourt. Makelele and Essien were both pressing hard in the midfield. When they turned around and looked around, Henry ran out of the space to receive the high-altitude ball.
Facing the incoming ball with his back to the Chelsea penalty area, he used his chest to perfectly remove the ball. Then, before Carvalho could get behind him, Makelele came to steal the ball, and he knocked the ball back to Ronaldinho who came in from behind.
This time the pass was passed to Ronaldinho, Makelele had predicted it, so he turned around and blocked Ronaldinho with Essien.
Ronaldinho got the ball and dribbled horizontally, but took the initiative to slow down. After Essien and Makelele pressed forward, Ronaldinho made an incredible move for the two of them.
He turns around to protect the ball!
With your back to Chelsea's goal!
Are you going to switch sides and attack your own goal?
Of course not.
When Essien and Makelele were confused, Ronaldinho pulled the ball behind him and deftly knocked the ball horizontally. Makelele and Essien, who were rushing towards Ronaldinho, looked at the direction of the ball in surprise.
It's their side and rear, in the middle.
A lightning-fast figure passed by quickly.
