The Stamford Bridge Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, was slightly quiet with 1,500 fans of the visiting team. This is actually a relatively small area.
However, standing here are 1,500 fans of the Mad Lion Guards, as well as the veteran leaders of several fan organizations that were the predecessors of the Mad Lion Guards. They are standing in the same row, and the person in the middle is
Roar founders Brady, Saul, Fred and others.
Led by them, after the players entered the field, during the kick-off ceremony, suddenly, together with 1,500 fans from the Mad Lion Guards, they raised their right hands to the sky!
If one person does this, it may not have any effect or make any waves.
But at Stamford Bridge, 1,500 people gathered in one area to do this at the same time. The scene was quite abrupt and not spectacular.
But this will arouse the curiosity of many people, as if it has become a virus and spreads, causing people infected with the virus to subconsciously look up to the sky to understand what those people mean by pointing to the sky.
When the 40,000 spectators at Stamford Bridge looked up at the sky, a small plane flew over Stamford Bridge at a slow speed.
At this time, the live broadcast camera also immediately turned to the sky.
Behind the small plane, dragging a banner, hangs in the sky!
The large characters above clearly wrote one sentence.
"Chelsea has been waiting for 50 years and will wait for another 50 years, and the next 50 years, and the next one..."
Seeing this sentence written on the banner in the sky, if the plane is not in sight, it seems to be a divine prophecy sent by God!
Chelsea fans are all stunned!
My head is confused!
50 years!
That's right. They've been waiting for 50 years!
The last top league championship was won in the 1954-1955 season. This season, the 2004-2005 season, no more, no less, exactly 50 years!
The words written on the banner in the sky were obviously telling Chelsea people: You still won't win the league championship this year. 50 years and half a century of waiting are just the beginning. There will be another 50 years of waiting. And the next one!
At this moment, the Lions fans who came to Stamford Bridge, as well as the Lions fans who watched the live broadcast of the game in countless bars along the Thames River, were excited and toasted to celebrate!
In the stadium, Brady, the instigator, pointed to the sky with an arrogant smile, quite shocked by the narcissistic scene.
While the Chelsea fans in the stadium were in a daze, the 1,500-strong Lion Guard suddenly shouted in unison: "Chelsea wants the league title? Dream on!"
A crowd of 1,500 people overcame more than 30,000 home team fans!
The Mad Lion Guards instantly changed the atmosphere of the stadium, and all the fans of the visiting team seemed to be recharged. They started cheering again, and the momentum was overwhelming!
It actually overshadowed the fans of the home team, who were disrupted by their rhythm and became chaotic and noisy, unable to form a unified momentum!
Aldridge lowered his head on the sidelines. He couldn't control his smile, it was an intoxicating smile.
Naturally, he looked up at the sky. He really didn't expect that the Lions fans would use such a method to suppress Chelsea's momentum today.
Before the game even started, Chelsea players were a little distracted. A plane flew in the sky and made a "condescending" taunt. Anyone would be affected.
Mourinho's face became a little gloomy, and he immediately yelled at the players, asking them not to be disturbed by the outside world and concentrate on the game.
And he himself abandoned distracting thoughts and focused on the game on the court.
He needs to use keen insight to obtain information about his opponents as soon as possible.
Millwall's squad information alone is not enough.
He also needs to take a look at Millwall's posture after the opening, through the position of the players, the position of the overall formation, etc.
When the game started, Millwall indeed retreated.
This retreat is relative. If they attack, the pressure is relatively large. If they retreat, although the back line will not retreat into the penalty area, it is not far away.
Therefore, when Millwall dropped deep and was in stable control of the ball, Mourinho wanted to curse him!
Sure enough, sure enough, sure enough!
The sanctimonious Aldridge really put on a defensive stance in the away game!
This is not giving Chelsea the slightest chance!
Not only the head coach can see the situation on the field, but the players on the field can also naturally see it!
They have experienced hundreds of battles and may not be able to guess all of what their opponents plan to do, but just looking at Millwall's posture today, the first thought that comes to mind is: they are going to counterattack!
what to do?
Don't you want to grab it?
Mourinho was shocked.
A game came to mind.
A game that ended just a few days ago.
Millwall visit Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals!
It was a dull 0:0.
Juventus was desperate and could only shoot three non-threatening shots at home and then watched Millwall retreat!
At this moment, Mourinho, who was stunned, understood that if Millwall's rhythm was not disrupted and they were allowed to defend and counterattack, Chelsea might really be exhausted!
You know, in the last game at Juventus' home court, Millwall's ball possession rate reached 70%!
The effective time of possession reached 43 minutes!
In other words, for almost half of the time, the ball was controlled at the feet of Millwall players, and then for the remaining half of the time, the ball was either flying in the sky, or the dead ball state consumed time, or Juventus controlled the ball.
Ball possession rate does not represent an advantage, because ball possession rate can be divided into effective ball control and ineffective ball control.
However, the time of possession of the ball is a more intuitive data. The more time of possession of the ball, the higher the probability of brewing an offensive opportunity.
In the case of non-opponent mistakes, you can only create a scoring opportunity if you control the ball yourself. If the ball is not under your control, how can a goal be scored?
Seeing Millwall's attitude, Chelsea players stepped forward to press without waiting for Mourinho's order. Opportunities must be snatched. If not, there would be no chance.
Mourinho actually acquiesced to the players' behavior. At this time, the opponent must make a mistake, or they must seize the opportunity and put defensive pressure on Millwall's possession of the ball.
Chelsea's three lines that were originally contracted in the half slowly expanded forward. The trident went to the frontcourt, and Lampard just crossed the center line. Millwall suddenly launched a wave of offensive from back to front!
In the 8th minute, Ram came in at high speed from the wing. Alonso, who was originally in control of the ball, immediately passed the ball to Ram and gave Ram an advance.
Robben failed to keep up with Lahm, which made Mourinho furious.
At this moment, Mourinho already had an ominous premonition, and he realized that he and his players might have made a wrong judgment in interpreting Millwall's attitude in this game.
Because it seems that Millwall's offensive is not a counterattack at all!
First of all, Chelsea did not attack, so there was no counterattack.
Secondly, the strength of Millwall's attack was instantly shocking!
Ram is also dribbling the ball in the midfield and approaching the midline. Alonso can be seen running forward in parallel. Schneider on the other side does not move up, but his position is slightly better to provide support.
In front, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Henry, and Cristiano Ronaldo started running, which was dazzling.
Millwall's offensive mode cannot be said to be fully activated, at least when a 6-man attack occurs. How can you say they are counterattacking?
Chelsea's defense was pressing forward, and Millwall's attack suddenly accelerated, and it seemed to be absolutely premeditated. They waited for Chelsea's defensive formation to press forward, and then caught them off guard!
When Lahm dribbled the ball across half-court, it was no longer possible for Lampard to intercept the ball laterally.
Lampard quickly retreated, and Essien was freed to quickly intercept Lahm.
Makélélé is keeping an eye on Kaká, and Lampard is also preparing to block Kaká’s receiving space.
However, Ronaldinho's movement was forward and then backward. After Essien left, he became a connecting point parallel to Kaka's position. After bringing the ball to the frontcourt, Lahm distributed the ball to
It’s Ronaldinho.
Essien turned back, Makelele moved horizontally, and Lampard continued to mark Kaká.
Ronaldinho did not stop the ball and directly knocked the ball back to the front spot.
This is a one-two punch.
Ram continued to move forward, and after regaining control of the ball, he was already blocked by Ferreira.
Ram decisively played the ball again. His ball passed to the left of Ferreira and in front of Carvalho. Henry had his back to Carvalho to respond. Henry also shot the ball. He saw Makelele rushing quickly.
When he came to attack him with his teammates, he passed the ball behind Makelele without hesitation.
When Makelele turned around and looked around, he felt someone passing him.
Who?
Kaka!
The explosive Kaka dribbles the ball and directly uses his speed to beat Makelele, who has not yet started to explode in the turn. This may not be a competition of speed, but the effect of time difference. No matter how quick Makelele reacts, he is still beaten by Millwall.
Bo's tacit teamwork was so shaken that he almost fainted, while Lampard lost to Kaká in speed. He tried to pull Kaká, but failed, and hesitated at the last moment because he
I saw Kaka’s foot on the penalty area line!
Terry had suffered the loss of Kaká in the Champions League. This time he was cautious and did not dare to make a move easily. However, Kaká made the first choice after entering the penalty area. He flicked the ball to the right.
As a precaution, Ashley Cole was preventing Ronaldo from cutting inside, but on this side, Ronaldo did not cut inside. Instead, he pressed forward and then retreated, forming a parallel position with Kaka.
Contact, Ronaldo stops the ball and releases the ball, all in one go.
He used not too much force to pass the ball into the penalty area with the arch of his foot!
The ball rolled past Terry and laterally towards the center of Chelsea's goal. Henry captured the back of the goal during this movement, so it slightly attracted Carvalho's attention. In terms of defensive position, there was no one.
A relatively large gap appeared between Carvalho and Terry.
Someone appeared here and made a simple push shot at the rolling ball. Cech rushed back to the center from the near corner of the goal and made the save again. He made the save completely in the wrong place because the angle of the push shot was still too high. The near corner of the goal, which is the opposite direction of Cech's movement!
After the goal was scored, the scorer ran to the corner flag area and danced a samba.
At Stamford Bridge, the Lions fans shouted passionately, and Ronaldinho's name resounded in the sky! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
