After Chelsea's defeat at Old Trafford, the trend of public opinion against Chelsea was not a downward trend in confidence, but rather complicated. —{2}{3}{w}{x}]
Some media do believe that Chelsea should be wary of Millwall behind them.
Some media also gave Chelsea a boost, encouraging them to forget the defeat and stay normal and play well in the subsequent games.
However, there are also a large number of media that have created a public opinion atmosphere that "it is a good thing for Chelsea to lose, because it will make them realize their shame and become brave".
In the next round, Chelsea will face Newcastle United. In the middle of the week, the media gave Newcastle United an idea, and they openly asked Newcastle United to play the ultimate counterattack in the away game, which is to use Aldrich to succeed in the World Cup.
, the 4321 anti-counterattack tactic that makes English football very proud.
Mourinho is surprised by the attention from the outside world!
Logically speaking, although Chelsea started 11 rounds unbeaten and had a terrifying record of 10 wins and 1 draw, after being ended by Manchester United in the 12th round, attention should have declined, because during the same period, Millwall was 9 points behind.
An excellent performance that shortened the gap to 4 points.
Millwall itself is the most watched team in British football, but at this time, Chelsea is at the forefront of public opinion and has not been reduced because of their loss.
There are many teams that have become the focus. Chelsea used to use their strength in the transfer market to attract attention, but now, it seems that they have received sufficient recognition from the outside world.
Mourinho knew that he wanted to overthrow the rule of Millwall in English football, so when he really got the honor, he would put a rope around the neck of the mad lion and hang him. He would watch the mad lion fall with his own eyes and his body would be cold. Only then...
Really laugh, sing and dance, and wear the crown under the spotlight!
But now?
Chelsea haven’t gained anything yet!
This is not good. Too much attention from the outside world, whether it is praise or disparagement, the more topics there are, the more pressure it will put on Chelsea!
At this stage, you must quietly make a fortune.
But Mourinho cannot control public opinion. He also has no idea why Fleet Street is reluctant to put Millwall in the headlines more and discuss the phenomenon of Millwall. Maybe it is because Millwall has been
It's the center of the topic, and people are probably tired of it.
So Mourinho could only step out on his own, make himself the center of attention, use himself to separate the outside world from the inside of the team, and reduce the pressure on the team.
After a week's rest, Chelsea defeated Newcastle United 3-0 at Stamford Bridge and immediately ushered in a big victory after losing to Manchester United.
This seems to also confirm the positioning of Chelsea by many media in Fleet Street. They believe that Chelsea's strength has reached a level that can definitely shake the dominance of Millwall. At the same time, some media are mocking Newcastle United. They believe that the Magpies have not listened to the advice of "experts".
It ended in a disastrous failure!
Millwall got a small victory over the Cottagers in the last round, and the game looked uneventful.
But in this round of the Premier League, they are firing on all cylinders at the Lion King Stadium.
The visiting Blackburn Rovers suffered 7 bombs!
Millwall fired from all three fronts, bursting out with terrifying offensive firepower.
These three lines are Ronaldinho on the left, Kaka in the middle, and Ronaldo on the right, not the front, middle, and back lines.
Ronaldinho not only scored twice and scored two goals, but also scored a hat-trick of assists. His hot form ended in a shocking way.
Cristiano Ronaldo also scored two goals, Henry and Kaká each scored one goal, and Alonso contributed another goal.
After massacring Blackburn, Millwall ushered in the fifth game of the Champions League group stage.
Since it has already been determined to advance to the top 16, the team has no worries about sending substitutes to play.
Glasgow Rangers were massacred by Millwall at home. When they came to the away game, coach McLeish dared not go head-to-head with Millwall. It was simply naive and ridiculous to think about the strategic concept in September.
The Glasgow Rangers, who put up a tight formation, successfully got a draw at the Lion King Stadium, but Millwall's substitute lineup still lacked the firepower to break through the dense defense.
Inter Milan, who is in the same group, defeated Porto at home, which raised Inter Milan's ranking to first in the group.
Porto and Rangers are competing for third place to enter the UEFA Cup, and now it seems that Rangers has a one-point lead.
After the Champions League, we returned to the Premier League. After the previous rounds of the Champions League, Chelsea had some advantages in the schedule. They could always rest for an extra day or two to play in the league. However, after this round of the European war, Chelsea's game started first.
.
They were a guest at Portsmouth and suffered a big upset when they were tied by the Portsmouth Iron Bucks!
Millwall staged a focus battle this round, facing the Red Army Liverpool at home.
Aldridge smiled when greeting club staff, allowing his colleagues to clearly feel the young marshal's inner joy.
However, when meeting players, Aldridge became serious to avoid letting his happiness be transmitted to the players, and became relaxed.
Benitez led the team to visit the Lion King Stadium. Liverpool's goal this season is more pragmatic and strives to return to the Champions League!
Even in the UEFA Cup, as the defending champions, their commitment has weakened.
After all, he won the UEFA Cup last season, and Benitez gave the fans an explanation in his first year. However, he has been unable to qualify for the Champions League for a long time, which is intolerable for traditional giants.
Liverpool is definitely unable to win the championship in the league, but its ranking is always at the upper reaches, closely following the championship groups. The goal is that at the end of the season, the team can stay in the Champions League qualifying zone.
After getting through the run-in at the beginning of the season, Liverpool's combat effectiveness has been improved to a certain extent. Benitez's reform policy for the team seems to be to call on old players as the main method.
Among the key signings this season, the midfielder position is the most critical. With Henchoz being sold and Hamann aging, Liverpool’s once unshakable 3-hour defensive triangle has become history. The new main midfielder will be Bennett.
Mohamed Sissoko, Siss's old boss in Valencia, will take over.
The Carrick he introduced last season is a player he had met when working at Millwall. Luis Garcia, a player produced by Barcelona's youth training, is another player who Benitez returned to Spain to start his own business in Spain.
An old minister who is trying his best at Neri Fei.
At the same time, he also introduced Spanish goalkeeper Reina at the goalkeeper position, who Villarreal coach Pellegrini said was "better than Casillas".
Liverpool's investment in the past many years has not been low, but those who bought it always felt that it was a piece of cake here and there, and it was not targeted enough. In the end, the investment in the transfer market showed low efficiency.
After Benitez took office, the targeted signings in the transfer market were clear. In his second year of coaching, the team's overall framework was stable and strengthened, and its strength rose steadily, although it was not as good as Millwall for more than ten years.
The foundation of step-by-step construction cannot compare with Chelsea's arrogance of spending huge sums of money to achieve success quickly, but Liverpool's fans' confidence has been gradually rising after it hit rock bottom.
Aldridge and Benitez met at the Lion King Stadium. The two shook hands friendly and spent a lot of time chatting.
Players from both teams walked out of the tunnel and prepared to take the field for the game.
"The progress of the Premier League this season has deviated a bit from our original expectations. We thought that the strong and stable Millwall would open up the gap with its competitors from the beginning of the league, but Chelsea's 9-game winning streak started amazingly, and it was once very good.
For a long time, they maintained a 9-point gap behind Millwall, but this gap has changed in the past month.
Millwall has won consecutive victories, and Chelsea has begun to lose points. As of now, Chelsea is 5 points ahead of Millwall, but Millwall has one game less. After today's game, if Millwall can win, then
Millwall will close the gap with Chelsea again, it will be 2 points, and one ball can change everything!"
"Liverpool has performed well recently. They are ranked fourth in the league. Liverpool led by Benitez has made significant progress in recent times. And similar to Millwall, both Liverpool and Millwall have invested heavily in the European war.
As long as it is guaranteed to qualify, the emphasis is obviously lowered, which is understandable. Millwall was too far ahead in the league before Chelsea, and Liverpool must strive to enter the Champions League next season!"
"Haha, judging from the current strength comparison between the top teams in the Premier League, the competition for Champions League qualification is very cruel. The three teams are the favorites to win the championship. According to the strength, Millwall is the strongest, followed by Chelsea, and has the slimmest hope of winning.
The first is Manchester United, and then there is the competition to qualify for the Champions League. Although Manchester United is in danger, it should not be a big problem to retain the qualification for the Champions League. Liverpool and Arsenal are competing for a famous name.
Well, it may be a very cruel competition. At this stage, Arsenal is already too far behind. They have lost too many games in the league! And their performance in the strong dialogue is simply appalling! Liverpool should seize this opportunity, although
Today is against Millwall, but if we can take away a point here, maybe it will be a very critical and valuable point for the standings at the end of the season!"
"Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides.
Millwall, at home, started with 433.
Goalkeeper: But.
Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Lahm.
Midfielder: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.
Forwards: Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho.
In the last game against Blackburn, Kaka suffered some minor injuries in the second half and was suspended for this game. Henry suddenly felt unwell in pre-match training today. Sir Hall put him on the bench as a precaution.
Benitez fielded the strongest lineup. Obviously he was unwilling to lose here for the second consecutive year. With the improvement of Liverpool's strength, Liverpool, as the traditional giant with the most championships in England's top league, their confidence seems to be back. They were very unwilling to lose to Millwall in the European Super Cup. After the game, many players in the team expressed their intention to compete with Millwall again in the league! Well, the opportunity is here today to see if they can win against the Lions. What kind of performance is there in the King's Stadium!"
