Another potential shortcoming of Chelsea's current lineup is: its ability to fight hard.++++
Of course, there are differences in the level of this tough battle. For example, against Manchester United and Arsenal, opponents who are also updating or have defective lineups. Chelsea does not seem to have fatal problems, but against Millwall, a combination of old and new, some core players
A team at its peak appears to be slightly less able to withstand pressure.
Robben, Franck Ribery, Duff, Joe Cole, and even Drogba, their ability to play key roles in headwinds and their will to step up and turn the tide are beyond expectations.
On Millwall's side, Ronaldinho Henry, who is at his peak, carries the offensive banner in the frontcourt, and Nesta Schneider's mature and steady role in the backcourt stabilizes the defense. The morale of the mobilized team is significantly stronger than that of the opponent.
This is the potential deciding factor in the game after excluding the technical and tactical advantages and disadvantages.
After 80 minutes of the game, Chelsea seemed to have surrendered at home. The whole team could not form a unified thinking and was completely defensive. Even if there was a counterattack opportunity, without teammates stepping forward to increase the counterattack attack points, the counterattack opportunity could only be wasted.
Millwall is beginning to finish. If they win this game, they will win the league championship. Then, all the focus of the season will shift to the Champions League.
Aldrich used three substitutions to replace three offensive players and used defense to ensure the victory.
While the commentators were discussing whether the position of Chelsea coach was stable, Mourinho was sitting on the coaching bench. His expression seemed numb, but his heart was extremely calm.
He knew his first season at Chelsea had ended in failure.
Second in the league. To him, who is so proud, it is a failure.
In the past, he led Porto to play against Millwall for two consecutive years, which cannot be used as the main reference basis. Whether he is asked to collect enemy intelligence or learn more about Millwall, it is impossible to be very thorough.
But today, in the 2004-2005 season, when he led Chelsea to face Millwall for the fourth time in one season and still ended in defeat, he began to sum up his experience and learn lessons.
In his mind, it was as if a slideshow was playing, one scene after another, showing the details of the past three confrontations, as well as today's confrontation from beginning to end.
From the external environment to the actual battle on the field, he has to understand everything.
Where did you lose?
It's not important.
Because there are many possibilities for failure.
You can never find patterns on the football field.
You want to find out how to win or how to avoid defeat through summary, which is difficult, because two identical teams will not play exactly the same two games, and you may have exhausted your calculations. In the end, it depends on the players.
A mistake, the referee may or may not call a foul penalty and change the overall trend.
Dreamers in football circles pursue majestic creations, while utilitarians are demanding and striving for perfection in details.
Mourinho has personally experienced the fierce competition in the Premier League and felt the helplessness and helplessness that Wenger and Ferguson once felt.
At this time, 1/3 of the home team's fans at Stamford Bridge had already left the stadium, and it seemed that everyone was betrayed and surrounded by enemies. Mourinho summed up some experience on how to avoid falling behind when facing Millwall.
First of all, strategically, if they want to defeat Millwall, Chelsea must not be passive.
For example, in the league, if Chelsea is behind in points when the two teams play against each other, they will be very passive strategically. This passivity will directly affect the team's formation and put the opponent in a favorable position. If it is in the Champions League, then it is even more important to stay calm.
, like Chelsea's hope of defeating Millwall at Stamford Bridge in the first round of the Champions League, this idea itself is wrong, because the stronger this idea is, it will only make Chelsea's prospects bleaker, because strategically, you still have to let your own
The road becomes narrower and narrower.
In the league, you need to accumulate advantages, but in the cup, you need to be calm. A truly strong person must not only know how to endure, but also have the temperament of tenacity.
As for the first round of the league match, Chelsea was naturally affected by Mutu's drug abuse scandal. It cannot be said that there will be a major negative impact on strategy, but at least the morale of the military will fluctuate. When a strong enemy attacks, internal changes will occur.
This is a taboo in the military.
Tactically, Mourinho doesn't have many clever tricks. The general idea of Chelsea's team building policy is to follow his plan, so it is impossible to make a complete change. They can only continue to follow this path firmly.
He also believes that his team still has a lot of room for growth.
We must be firm in preventing counter-attacks, but we have played against Millwall four times this season. In at least three games, we have not been able to achieve particularly good results by focusing on counter-attacks. It is even difficult to break through the gate of Millwall. Excluding Millwall
The lineup is strong and not greatly affected by injuries. Chelsea's counterattack routine is too monotonous and predictable, which is also one of its shortcomings.
In other words, if one-on-one cannot be forced, the threat of side counterattacks will plummet.
Originally, Chelsea had a stable "strong advantage", and that was Robben, but now that the season is almost over, Robben's attendance rate is only about 50%. This Dutch glass man is sometimes a huge threat on the court, but
The injury affected his stability, which brought instability to the team's long-term construction. For example, if Robben was injured on the eve of a key battle, it would be a fatal blow to the tactical arrangement.
If you want to beat Millwall, you can't prevent counterattacks. Extreme counterattacks may improve your success rate, but if you want to pursue the ultimate, there is only one last way left: set up a bus!
7-8 people defend, 2-3 people attack!
It's that simple. It doesn't matter even if you shrink into the penalty area. On the contrary, this may allow the opponent to press forward to the limit and expose a wider space behind you.
When Mourinho's meditation ended, so did the game inside the stadium.
After the referee blew his whistle, Mourinho stood up and put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the tunnel. Behind him, Millwall substitute players rushed into the stadium to celebrate. Countless Lion fans in the stands were singing and dancing.
The moment he walked into the tunnel, Mourinho couldn't help but look back. He saw Aldridge and Ronaldinho Henry walking into the stadium arm in arm. He looked at the man's back and couldn't talk about it.
Hatred is just the stubbornness and determination in my heart that becomes stronger.
Next season, I won’t lose again!
Never!
The Chelsea fans in the stands were disenchanted and turned around and left silently.
Some of the Chelsea players in the stadium walked directly to the tunnel at the end of the game. Others lowered their heads on the field with helpless and disappointed expressions on their faces.
Their season is over!
Even though there are still two rounds of league games left, they have already set a record for the highest points in Chelsea's Premier League history. However, they still have to witness their mortal enemy announce the successful defense of their title on their doorstep!
"At this time last month, Fleet Street defined April 2005 as 'London Rivals Month'. Millwall and Chelsea had a 180-minute life-and-death battle in the Champions League. Millwall won and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
On the last day of this month, Millwall came to Stamford Bridge with a 5-point advantage in the standings. After 90 minutes, they defeated Chelsea 2:0. It can be said that they were officially crowned here.
Seventh Premier League title, successfully defended!
Next, they still have to work hard for the Champions League. There are only two games left before successfully defending the Champions League. Of course, they first have to defeat Juventus at home. This season’s Premier League competition belongs to London. Chelsea’s sudden rise has been difficult to shake Millwall.
Under Al's rule, Millwall continued to conquer all strong opponents with their strong performance. They are very likely to win the championship again with a record of breaking 100 points, but that is actually irrelevant, because the points record in the standings is also the same.
What they themselves created."
When Aldridge and Ronaldinho Henry walked into the stadium together, Ronaldinho suddenly asked next to him: "Boss, is it particularly refreshing to announce the championship here?"
Henry was snickering from the sidelines.
Millwall was particularly excited to play against Chelsea. In fact, the relationship between mortal enemies did not affect them too much, but after their former teammates defected and left, the hostility skyrocketed, and a bloodthirsty wildness broke out, as if it was driving them from the bottom of their hearts.
Must crush Chelsea!
Teach those traitors a lesson!
The Stamford Bridge stadium echoed with the majestic and resonant singing of Millwall fans. In this scene, Aldridge raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned to Ronaldinho and whispered: "If I say that my mentality is normal, it must be very hypocritical.
?”
Ronaldinho grinned.
Aldrich continued to laugh and said: "Yes, yes, it's so fucking relieving! And it's not enough, far from enough. We have to suppress them for one, two, five, ten years! They are mortal enemies.
, it’s better to keep stepping on their heads!”
Ronaldinho patted Aldrich on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem! Look at how cowardly they are, they don't even dare to attack when they play on the court. Hahaha, hit them once and deal with them once!"
"It's not a small talk. If you can maintain your form this season for five years, you can talk big words with your nose in the sky!"
"Ha, don't worry, I'll take care of everything, no problem!"
Ronaldinho ran to celebrate with his teammates, and Aldridge had some exchanges with Henry. He put his arm around Henry's shoulders and said softly: "Thierry, you have scored many goals over the years. On the offensive end, you are the No. 1 opponent.
Once you mark the target, many teams will even use killing tactics against you. I think it's time for you to become more flexible and unpredictable in your football."
Henry didn't quite understand what Aldridge meant, so Aldridge said bluntly: "I will change the team's offensive tactics next season. I hope you can make the final transformation on the top stage of your career and be able to make
Some sacrifice."
In the summer, Henry will be 28 years old.
Although the age of 28 is the peak period for most forwards, for talents such as Henry, Irving, Raul, Del Piero, etc. who have made a name for themselves before the age of 20, their peak period seems unsustainable. Even longer, it’s not that their peak period was short, on the contrary, Henry’s peak form for more than 5 years from 1999 to this year is already no small miracle.
He needs to transform also because Millwall has a new shooter king on the rise.
Just like Ruud van Nistelrooy wanted to make way for Cristiano Ronaldo in the original history, Aldridge hopes that in the construction of the new generation of Millwall, Henry will play the role of passer and helper on the offensive end. Under his cover, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo will be reduced. Luo's pressure makes it easier for them to shine! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
