The London derby is about to begin. Players from both sides have already entered the field. Chelsea coach Ruud Gullit stood on the sidelines with a slightly relaxed expression. In addition to unexpected defeat in the first game of the new season, his team also lost new summer signing Poyet.
The next four games were all won and the momentum was overwhelming.
On the other hand, Millwall's recent situation is not good. They have lost points in three of the five league games. The main players Pirlo and Capdevila will have to recuperate for another month and a half. Lampard is close to his comeback.
In addition, coach Aldrich was fined and suspended, which made the Lions even worse. The game was temporarily directed by Benitez. The Spaniard also stood on the sidelines, his face looking very solemn.
"Hello everyone, the London Derby, the highlight of the sixth round of the Premier League, is about to begin. Chelsea, the leader in the standings, will face defending champion Millwall at Stamford Bridge today. Ruud Gullit, who has always claimed that he wants to make Chelsea a sexy football representative, also showed off today.
A defensive formation, haha, Andy, do you think Chelsea are afraid of Millwall?"
"Why not? If Millwall were saving their efforts for the Champions League, Chelsea would definitely be criticized for their formation, but today Millwall used their best players. Gullit lost to Hall three times last season. Today
He is also learning from Liverpool and Leicester City, and he might be able to win the game easily, after all, Zola's ability with a single arrow is stronger than Liverpool's young player Owen."
"Look at the starting lineup of both sides today, Chelsea's starting lineup is 541.
Andy, I'm thinking about a question. Now Millwall's opponents take the initiative to shrink in the second half and focus on defense and counterattack, giving up control of the midfield. What if Millwall also plays like this? Wouldn't the game be boring?
"
"Martin, this is what is admirable about Hall. He firmly believed that his team could win, so he did not let the team take the initiative to give up control to tempt the opponent to attack, as he said. The coach should have his own ideals, Mir
Wall will not give up his aggressiveness in pursuing victory."
The game begins. Chelsea kicks off first.
Zola passed the ball back to Di Matteo, and Millwall set up a defensive formation. After receiving the pass, Wise took two steps and passed it to Zola in the middle. The latter tried to break through Ballack but was squeezed out of position and lost.
Ball rights.
After Chelsea kicked off, not many people crossed the half-court, waiting for Millwall to organize the attack and press hard.
Makelele passed the ball to Gianluca Zambrotta on the wing. The Italian full-back strode forward with the ball, played a one-two with Nedvěd who retreated, and then strode forward quickly.
But with Petrescu at the back and Clark, Di Matteo and Duberry in front, they also compressed the space in the backcourt area on this side.
Zambrotta moved the ball laterally, Nedvěd moved the ball laterally, and Ballack, who came in from behind, moved the ball to Schneider on the wing in front of Sinclair.
Gullit, who was on the sidelines, saw Millwall's lateral transfer of the ball. The corner of his mouth moved slightly and he smiled as expected.
This kind of lateral transfer of the ball is what Millwall is most comfortable with. When a high-tempo ball is played, the forward will be involved laterally to find an opening. The winger will suddenly cut in and then receive a through ball to penetrate the entire defense line.
But when the backcourt space is filled with dense defensive players, it is difficult for the forwards to find good opportunities no matter how they move.
And what next?
Is it time for Millwall to end this attack with a long shot?
Schneider brought the ball to the 45th corner of the wing, and then passed the ball to Shevchenko. The Ukrainian turned his back to the penalty area and prepared to receive the ball. At the same time, Larsson and Trezeguet were moving towards him.
.
Le Saux held up Shevchenko and played on the wing. He didn't mind Millwall's passing tactics. They had an extra defender today. As long as they didn't make stupid mistakes, it was impossible for the passing ball to break their defense.
Babayaro followed Trezeguet, and Duberry also moved this way to prevent Larsson from cutting in on the right. Millwall's three forwards all rushed to the right.
The moment Shevchenko touched the ball, he turned to look at the two strike partners, and their eyes seemed to be connected for a moment.
Shevchenko also shot the ball, and he passed the ball to Schneider.
After completing the pass, Shevchenko immediately turned around and cut inside, and Lesaux followed him step by step as if facing a formidable enemy.
Trezeguet pulled towards the outside of the penalty area, and Babayaro followed immediately, fearing that he would give his opponent room to turn around with the ball.
Larsson positioned himself in the middle and charged forward. Duberry quickly pressed his body against him. At this moment, sweeper Leboeuf also moved this way, intending to block the opponent's penetrating through ball.
But none of the five Chelsea defenders noticed that the moment Shevchenko returned the ball, Millwall's two midfielders ran forward with purpose like wild beasts.
Di Matteo and Sinclair, who were defending Nedvěd and Ballack, were quickly thrown away after the two suddenly started.
Schneider concentrated on the ball and passed a beautiful curve ball into the penalty area, over the heads of the entire defense, and then flew straight to the back point of the small penalty area.
When sweeper Leboeuf saw the trajectory of the ball, his scalp suddenly went numb. He quickly moved to the right to cover the position. Nedvěd rushed to the back point with his left foot and returned the ball to the center before the ball hit the ground.
The ball passed between Leboeuf's legs. Leboeuf himself smelled the smell of death. Before he could turn around, there was a thunderous shot from behind.
Bang!
Ballack blasted the ball cleanly into the goal!
Stamford Bridge fell silent for a moment.
The home team's stands were completely silent. Chelsea's fans, coaches and players were all stunned. It was like a bolt from the blue.
The visiting team's stands where the Lions fans were seated were in a state of excitement.
"Chelsea, you are so arrogant! Leader? Damn it, there are only five rounds of the Premier League?! It won't be long before we, the mad lions, will kick you down, and then, just like before, we will step on your corpse to get on the championship podium!
Why don't you laugh again and ask us where the crazy lions are? We are right here, and we are celebrating wildly at Stamford Bridge!"
The fans of the Wild Lions cheered heartily, cheered passionately for the team, and shamelessly humiliated their mortal enemies.
Aldridge, who was watching in the box, was very excited after seeing the goal. He stood up, waved his fists, and roared with ferocious anger.
"Put up the bus! Let's set up the turtle formation! I'm not afraid of you, let's do it to your heart's content, until the end of the world, until the sea is dry and the stone is destroyed, my team will beat you! Not only will you be useless in playing football, but you will also lose face.
Wu Cun! I will let the world understand why crazy lions are crazy!"
Millwall scored, their first goal after misfires in the first three league games.
Ballack ran around excitedly after scoring.
Not only because he scored a goal, but because he and his teammates knew that they had created another classic team goal!
Commentator Martin Taylor couldn't help but feel excited.
As a football commentator, the happiest thing is to witness the birth of a classic.
"The fastest goal so far this season was born, 1 minute and 7 seconds! Millwall scored a lightning goal. This is a great goal. If you only watch Nedved assist Ballack to score, you will not think this
How special the ball is, because Ballack's chance was so good that it was almost impossible to miss it. But if you appreciate this goal from beginning to end, you will know what a wonderful goal it is, between two teams
What a wonderful game between offense and defense!”
"Yes, Martin, Millwall's goal must have come from careful tactical drills. From the attack to the goal, the ball was scored after 9 passes. In the process, the ball was quickly passed horizontally in the frontcourt, which made Chelsea's
The defensive focus shifts from right to left, which is the Millwall offensive routine that we are very familiar with before, but if you analyze the next attack through slow-motion replay, you will marvel at the wonderful cooperation of Millwall's offensive players."
"Andy, you are so right. After passing the ball, Shevchenko turned and cut inside, which attracted Chelsea defenders to focus on his side. Trezeguet pulled outwards to attract Babayaro, Larsson
Appearing in the center of the penalty area directly opposite the goal, Milvo
Our three forwards tore Chelsea's defense to pieces from different directions, leaving a large gap on the other side. At the same time, Nedved and Ballack's high-speed insertion was obviously purposeful, and Nedved went to pick it up.
Ball, Ballack grabs the point in front of goal
, Duberry was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know at that moment whether he should continue to defend Larsson in front of him or chase Ballack who passed by him! Nedved assisted, and Ballack
Luck scored. During the entire attack, including Zambrotta who set up a cross from the left wing, every Millwall offensive player played a role in this attack. They worked together to create this classic
Goal! Hall's team did not give in to defensive counter-attack tactics and Millwall became stronger!"
The coaches and substitute players on the Millwall bench were stunned by this goal. In fact, they knew best that Aldridge never arranged rigid tactical training in training.
For example, this goal was definitely not the result of a fixed routine.
Aldridge just told the players the most basic ideas, and then let the players perform on their own during training. If they have a tacit understanding and ability, they can create the most wonderful moments at unexpected times.
This is Aldrich’s training philosophy: Laconian thinking.
While others were celebrating, Benitez still looked unmoved. Instead, he calmly pressed his hands to the players, telling them not to be too happy: the game has just begun, don't get carried away!
Chelsea fell behind just after the start of the game at home, and Gullit couldn't look relaxed.
In today's formation, the most feared thing is conceding the ball. Once the ball is conceded, this 541 formation will restrict Chelsea's offensive hands and feet.
Damn it!
Millwall failed to score a goal against the Red Army, failed to score a goal against Wimbledon, and failed to score a goal against Leicester City.
Chelsea's personnel team is definitely not inferior to these three teams, but why did they concede the ball right from the start? Could it be that the sweeper was used incorrectly and that an interception midfielder should be added?
Evans led the Red Army to the point where they could not afford to lose against the Lions, and used defensive counterattacks to win a victory at Anfield.
Gullit has also reached the point where he cannot afford to lose. Not only did he fail to defeat the Lions in the league last season, but he was also robbed of the championship by the opponent in the FA Cup final. If he loses again today, not to mention Chelsea, he himself will be afraid They all felt like their faces were dull.
The opponent is a team without a coach! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
