After years of heavy investment, Chelsea has been listed as part of the championship group starting from this season. Although it is ranked last among the popular teams, as the league is about to reach the halfway point, people are beginning to realize that Chelsea
Ci's investment gradually paid off.
Chelsea won the European Cup Winners' Cup last season. Once they won this championship, the team's temperament was immediately different. With the addition of Desailly, a player who had just won the World Cup, Chelsea seemed to be starting from the beginning and becoming rich and handsome.
Make progress on the road.
The competition for the first group in the Premier League standings is fierce.
Millwall has suffered a draw in the league after the European war and has fallen to fourth place in the standings.
But they are only 2 points behind first-place Chelsea, and only 1 point behind Manchester United and Arsenal.
Chelsea fans began to sigh and raise their eyebrows. They have climbed to the top of the standings. The goal now is to secure this position and maintain it until the end of the season. If possible, they would prefer the Premier League to end now.
After noon, there was a huge crowd of people outside Stamford Bridge. Millwall fans and Chelsea fans faced off in separate courts. The fans from both sides were very arrogant and used their words to humiliate each other in every possible way.
Chelsea fans shouted: Look who is the leader now?
Millwall fans responded: Has Chelsea beaten Millwall in the past three seasons?
In fact, fans on both sides are very depressed.
Chelsea fans have been poked at their weakness. Damn it. They have defeated Manchester United. They have slaughtered Arsenal. They have defeated Liverpool. Damn it, they have never taken advantage of the Lions. Not to mention winning, even a draw seems to be extremely difficult.
.
Millwall fans have to admit that Chelsea now has the capital to compete in the Premier League. After 13 rounds of the league, the opponent can occupy the top spot, which in itself is enough to explain the problem.
Even Aldridge, the king in their hearts, said frankly at the pre-match press conference: Chelsea is very strong! Very strong!
This left reporters scratching their heads.
Right?
Just three months ago, in the European Super Cup, Aldrich clearly had a different statement.
At that time, he belittled Chelsea. He also despised the opponent and believed that Chelsea had nothing to do with the Premier League title.
Three months later, the young marshal's face turned a little red. Was it because he was beaten by Chelsea?
Reporters don’t think so. There are still 25 rounds left in the league. It’s useless for Chelsea to be at the top of the list. The gap with the next four teams is only one goal. Even Leeds United can overtake the lead within one goal.
them.
Reminiscent of Millwall's double defeat against Austrian champion Graz in midweek, the psychological tactics used by Aldridge, the outside world unanimously believed that Aldridge still used the tried-and-tested provocation method.
Unlike before, he used to irritate the other party. Now, he uses his attention and praise to kill the other party.
Doesn’t Chelsea just want to be recognized by the outside world?
The new Champions League champions Millwall and their mortal enemies admit that you are very strong. At Stamford Bridge, do Chelsea have the nerve to play conservatively?
After hearing Aldrich's remarks, Vialli bluntly pointed out: Hall is good at psychological warfare, and his purpose is well known to everyone. He wants to bring chaos to Chelsea, and we will not be fooled!
Before the game started, when Aldridge walked out of the tunnel with his hands in the pockets of his slim coat and walked silently towards the visiting team's coaching bench, Chelsea fans in the nearby stands launched a fierce attack on him, booing, shouting, roaring, and giving him the middle finger...
...No one tried to attack him, after all, the consequences would be serious.
After the match between Millwall and Wimbledon was investigated by the Football Association for stadium safety issues, another wave of stadium safety sweeps was launched across the Premier League. Fans watching the game can insult and taunt their opponents in the stands, but no physical contact is allowed.
If the opponent is physically violated, the FA's fine will be extremely heavy!
With the foul words greeting the whole family ringing in his ears, Aldrich's expression remained as usual.
Walking steadily to the open space in front of the coach's bench and standing in the open space, Aldridge half-turned to face the court, took his hands out of his pockets, crossed them on his chest, and stared at Stamford Bridge indifferently.
"The focus of the fourteenth round of the Premier League is about to begin. Hello everyone, I am Martin Taylor. I am here with my friend Andy Gray to explain to you this war between London's deadliest places. Andy, who do you like?
"
"Chelsea has gained momentum since the new season and they are at the top of the standings, but I am still optimistic about Millwall."
"Why? Hall's team performs unsatisfactory every time after the European war. They either win with difficulty or get a draw. Although they have not lost at the beginning of the new season, their performance is not as good as everyone expected. Hall declared that
They are competing for the league championship, but they obviously do not show the momentum that a champion should have. They always lose points to underdogs and cannot win the league championship."
"I don't quite agree with your statement. Hall's team has undergone a major shakeup in the new season. Many newcomers have become the main players. It is normal for the state to have ups and downs. In addition, they have to play in the Champions League and play two games in four days. This
It will be a severe test for the team, but I think the positive factor is that although they just played in the Champions League a few days ago, the team played at Wembley, and Hall is playing for
Today's game allows most of the main players to rest. They will not be affected by the two-line battle today, and there is a trend that we should be aware of. It takes time for Hall to train the team. I think this Millwall is now in a state of
During the upswing, if they can stabilize their performance at a high level before March next year, Millwall will enter a stage of full-scale outbreak."
"That will be in about three or four months, but what about today's game?"
"This will test Hall's ability, but there seems to be no need to worry too much about this. He always surprises us at moments like this."
"So what do you think Millwall's posture will be today?"
"Let's defend and counterattack. After all, Chelsea has become stronger and it is an away game. Millwall strives not to concede a goal. When Chelsea cannot attack for a long time, it will expose the loopholes in the defense. Millwall is also good at playing in situations where there is a wide space.
Strike back."
"Haha, Millwall has defeated Chelsea like this before. It seems that Hall is going to do it again."
Henry, the French forward who Millwall bought for 10 million pounds in the summer, finally made his first start. He had a brief substitute appearance in midweek and his performance was mediocre. Hall made him start in today's game.
I wonder if this striker will bring surprises."
Under the nervous gaze of 40,000 fans at Stamford Bridge, the London derby begins.
Vialli stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. Chelsea occupied the top spot in the standings. He was naturally proud of himself. He glanced at Aldrich not far away. Vialli thought to himself: I won't be fooled again!
In Vialli's memory, what impressed him most was the first game he coached, last season's League Cup final. He appeared in the game but failed to help the team win, coupled with the defeat in the European Super Cup before the season.
, Vialli was very unconvinced. His team lost to Millwall twice in the finals, both times due to the opponent's counterattack.
Isn’t that what Millwall is?
Counterattack, speed, forward penetration.
Today Chelsea focuses on stability!
Millwall, who boasted before the season that they wanted to win the Premier League championship, are now ranked fourth in the standings. They should be worried!
Vialli's tactical purpose today is very clear. Let's see who can afford it with Millwall. If the opponent wants to counterattack, let's see who can't hold it in first.
Under static defense, Chelsea's defense will not be easily penetrated.
But as soon as the game started, Vialli felt caught off guard.
Are Millwall conservative today?
Not at all!
When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Millwall's players were more like beasts in clothes, launching a frantic press in the midfield and frontcourt.
Chelsea predicted before the game that Millwall would play a defensive counterattack, but this prediction was completely miscalculated.
Lampard and Nedved entangled the opponent's two midfielders, with Makelele cutting the connection between the opponent's forward and midfielder behind him. Ronaldinho and Henry double-teamed the opponent's defender on the wing with the full-back.
For wing midfielders, such a high-pressure press is very risky, because once the opponent passes the ball to the forward, it will be a striker vs. backline situation, and teammates may not even have time to cover the position.
But Chelsea didn't expect the opponent to grab it so fiercely. They were caught off guard. The midfielder couldn't control the ball and had to pass it back. Ruud Ruud harassed the opponent's defense and forced the opponent to play the ball. LeBoeuf hurriedly
After clearing the ball, Makelele stopped the ball in front of Zola in the midfield and then passed it straight to Ronaldinho in the frontcourt.
Ronaldinho dribbled the ball inside, and then played a one-two with Nedvěd. He broke through the opponent's back line and faced the opponent's back line. Van Nistelrooy was about to counter the offside, and LeBoeuf went to mark him. Ronaldinho crossed
Passing the ball to the right, Henry also pressed into the middle. After Leboeuf went to mark Ruud van Nistelrooy, Henry dribbled the ball directly from the ribs into the penalty area.
Bringing the ball to the top corner of the small penalty area, he already had a chance to shoot. Desailly moved over to close in on him. Henry knocked back in the middle. Nedved hit the ball without stopping and kicked it.
Heavy artillery shelling the door.
Chelsea, who was completely defensive in the middle, had no way to deal with this shot.
De Houye fell to the ground and pounced on the ball, but the force was too great and the ball deflected and flew into the goal.
"In the first three minutes, Millwall opened the scoring as a guest! The goal scorer was their spiritual leader Pavel Nedved! Unexpected, so unexpected. Who said Millwall would play conservatively? Their opening attitude was extremely aggressive.
Such a high-pressure pressing tactic is risky. Once the opponent's defense is partially torn apart,
The defensive line may face the danger of playing more with less, but Millwall's adventurous spirit has been rewarded. Chelsea is very unsuitable to the opponent's crazy pressing. After clearing the ball and giving the ball to the opponent, Millwall was immediately beaten.
Through teamwork, we penetrated the goal. Millwall leads 1:0 away from home!"
Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge looked numb, and many even had sad looks on their faces.
I don't know why, but they just feel a sense of powerlessness, or call it despair.
Their mortal enemy, Millwall, how do those 11 rival players on the field look like players?
More like an evil ghost that seduces souls and demands life!
Aldridge, who stood on the sidelines with his chin raised and a smile, looked more like a mourner sounding the death knell.
Many Chelsea fans have a thought in their hearts that they are unwilling to face: Damn the crazy lions, when and how can we defeat them! (To be continued...)
