In the final period of the game, although Chelsea counterattacked with great breath, Millwall controlled the rhythm of the game through skillful passing and control skills, and did not give Chelsea even a chance to threaten their own goal.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge silently left the field.
The Lions fans felt happy from head to toe. It was more enjoyable than playing football and winning the game on their own, and the hearty pleasure lingered for a long time.
"The focus of the London Derby, Chelsea was at Stamford Bridge and lost to their arch-rival Millwall 2:4. They fell directly from the leader of the standings to fourth place. Although Millwall won, their ranking only improved.
One, they are still one point behind Manchester United and Arsenal, but Hall should be satisfied and the fans will be happy, at least Chelsea are behind them."
Aldridge took the initiative to go to Vialli to shake hands. The other person seemed to have suffered a huge blow and stood there dumbfounded. Aldridge approached and patted the other person's arm without saying anything before turning and walking into the tunnel.
At the post-match press conference, Aldridge was asked whether his opinion of Chelsea had changed.
He emphasized before the game that Chelsea was extremely strong, but Millwall defeated Chelsea away from home.
Aldridge's tone remained unchanged and he still claimed that Chelsea was very strong.
The higher Chelsea are promoted, the more valuable Millwall's victory becomes, and it also proves from the side that Millwall is stronger.
If Chelsea is reduced to nothing, Millwall's victory seems to be greatly compromised.
After praising the players for their performance today in the locker room, the team took the bus back to East London and disbanded on the spot.
After Aldrich returned home, he changed into casual clothes, including jeans, a T-shirt and a windbreaker. The sky was already dark, and he strolled towards the gate of the community, where three teenagers similarly dressed in casual clothes were chatting together.
De Rossi talked eloquently about Ronaldinho's goal in today's game, saying: "Did you see the action when he dunked the opponent? The rhythm was wonderful. He first faked his body to the right, forcing the opponent's center of gravity.
Tilt, then suddenly smash the ball from the left before shooting
Likewise, when he stopped and pretended to pass the ball, Chelsea's defense was startled and reflexively tried to intercept his passing route. Unexpectedly, he shot from the same place. The curved ball was actually very average.
I used to watch him train and this kind of ball was commonplace."
Messi and Aguero both raised their heads and looked up at De Rossi, as if they were listening to the "senior" comment on the ball.
After De Rossi finished speaking, his face looked smug, as if he had given these two boys some knowledge.
But Aguero said bluntly: "That goal. I can do it too. Yesterday I played against the primary school team in the southern community and I scored four goals."
Messi scratched his head and whispered: "I scored five."
De Rossi frowned and said: "How many games have you played?"
Aguero curled his lips and said: "They ran away before the game was over."
"90 minutes in a game?"
"Uh, 40 minutes, 20 minutes each half. The referee didn't give any extra time, which is annoying!"
Aguero was very upset about yesterday's game. With 5 minutes left in the game, his opponent said he would not play.
"What's the score?"
"13:0."
"Are you playing with children under 10 years old?"
Messi shook his head, subconsciously touched his shoulders and said: "They are all about 12 years old. They are really strong. My shoulder still hurts after the collision. I couldn't sleep last night."
De Rossi was speechless for a while, then coughed twice and said with a straight face: "Hey, you have met rookies. They will definitely not know how to play football. Three months ago, as the captain, I led a group of
Teammates with an average age of 14 years old won the first Millwall Youth Charity Cup. When they entered the regional championship knockout rounds, their opponents were almost all 16-year-olds. Some of them, I suspect, may be 18 years old and can be as tall as one.
Miba."
Aguero raised his head with envy on his face and asked: "How many goals have you scored?"
De Rossi almost vomited blood, his eyes dodged and he said calmly: "Three."
"Three people entered the final?"
"Uh, all the games."
"How many games are there in total?"
"10 games."
"..."
Messi and Aguero looked up at De Rossi and their eyes changed completely.
De Rossi immediately shouted: "What do you know? My position on the field is not that of a striker. I am a spiritual leader, a leader, do you understand a leader? I am a leader who can defend, attack, assist and make clearances!"
Aguero looked left and right, while Messi was thoughtful and suddenly asked: "How many goals did that Portuguese kid score?"
De Rossi touched his nose and said: "24."
"Wow!"
Aguero opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Messi curled his lips and didn't care.
Speaking of which, neither he nor Aguero like Ronaldo. That kid is a bit "bullying the weak and afraid of the strong".
If they train and play games together, Ronaldo will always boss Messi and Aguero around and ask them to serve him.
But if he reaches the senior echelons, Ronaldo can only do his job well and strive not to make mistakes.
"What are you talking about?"
Messi and Aguero suddenly shrank their necks, and their heads were gently pressed by a big hand. There was nothing they could do, they were both small men, and Aldrich could touch their heads with just a little raise of his hand.
When the three of them saw Aldrich's arrival, they immediately beamed with joy. De Rossi even rubbed his hands and asked, "Boss, where are we going to eat tonight?"
Messi and Aguero also raised their heads and looked at Aldridge, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.
Aldridge suddenly felt guilty, seeing the hunger in the eyes of the three of them, as if they hadn't eaten enough in Millwall all day.
All I can say is that it tastes bad.
Nutrition and deliciousness are sometimes difficult to combine perfectly.
Millwall's nutritionist prepares meals for the players that tend to be on the lighter side, with more meat and fish in particular, and chicken that is not too greasy. Other high-calorie and high-cholesterol foods such as chips, cakes, and pizza are taboo.
Taste.
Fortunately for first-team players, apart from training and playing games with the team, the meals at home can be adjusted appropriately according to taste.
But these young players who live in the Millwall community or dormitories are in a worse situation. Three meals a day are arranged by the club. Occasionally they run home and let their families cook a small meal.
Although Aldridge advocates that players pay attention to healthy nutrition in diet, it is not a rigid target after all. Especially these young players, you have to give them some sweetness and cannot hold it back for too long, otherwise they may eat it to death if they get the opportunity.
That would be very bad.
Occasionally, he would take these young players out to eat or cook delicious food at home. Today, he planned to go out for dinner with these three people and then watch a movie together.
In a high-end restaurant, Aldrich had a steak in front of him and a glass of red wine in his hand. His eyes flickered around, scanning the three people on the opposite side, left and right.
Messi, Aguero, and De Rossi were like reincarnations of starving ghosts, swiping away at the steaks in front of them. Aldridge didn't eat half of the steak, but these three people had already finished two portions!
It’s no wonder that they rarely come to such high-end restaurants to enjoy delicious food, let alone steak. The most important thing is that someone is treating them!
In fact, a portion of steak is not that much. Aldrich just doesn’t eat too much, so his diet is relatively balanced. In addition to the steak, he will eat some vegetables, but the three boys only focus on the beef, with their knives and forks on their plates.
The jingling bells made frequent dissatisfied looks from the surrounding guests.
Aldrich didn't mind either, there was no need to act like a gentleman here, they just ate happily, so he didn't remind them to pay attention to table manners.
The three of them chatted while eating. Each order ordered a different flavor and different parts of the beef, and they shared their portions with their companions in a harmonious manner.
Aguero finished the third plate, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and asked Aldridge curiously: "Boss, why do we seem to have a deep hatred against Chelsea? Today we were watching a football game in the dormitory, and the dormitory administrator was always there.
Curse Chelsea."
This kind of thing is very rare. On home game days, they will win tickets to watch the game through their performance in individual training. If there are away games, they will watch the live TV in the dormitory. The dormitory administrator is their watcher.
Friends, when playing against ordinary opponents, even if Millwall cannot win the game, the reaction of the dormitory administrator is very normal. Occasionally when the young players show frustration, the dormitory administrator will comfort them in turn: It doesn't matter if we didn't win today.
We will perform better next time.
But during the game against Chelsea, the dormitory manager seemed to have transformed.
Aldridge smiled and said: "In the past, there was a saying in London that real Tottenham fans live in Fulham, real West Ham fans live in Cambridge, real Chelsea fans live in Millwall, and others.
Most people are fans of Manchester United or Arsenal. Now, excluding the influence of the team on the community, most neutral fans in London are Millwall fans."
Aguero looked at Aldridge seriously, but the fork he held in his left hand secretly reached into Messi's plate. Messi unceremoniously pulled away his hand and moved the plate to the other side.
Move and protect with your arms.
Aldrich burst out laughing when he saw his actions, and said, "You are running out of words and want to ease the embarrassment, right? Aren't you full yet?"
Aguero chuckled and said, "I'm full, but I still want to eat. Today's beef is very tender and refreshing, tsk tsk."
De Rossi happened to finish his third plate, but he was shameless and asked the waiter for another plate.
Aldrich said to De Rossi: "Don't eat too much. The next plate will be half for you and KUN."
De Rossi glanced at Aguero and nodded helplessly in agreement.
At this moment, Messi raised his hand and said: "Give me some."
De Rossi quit and said: "Then let's call for one more set, two sets, divided among three people."
Good guys, the three boys now have the same stance. Aldrich shook his head and sighed softly, and asked the waiter to place his order.
Aguero burped after drinking water, laughed twice, and then continued to ask: "Then why don't Chelsea fans live around Stamford Bridge?"
"Land is expensive and material consumption levels are high, so they have to move to places with lower consumption levels. Therefore, they have intersections with our fans in life, which leads to conflicts."
Aguero nodded. After hearing this, De Rossi and Messi also understood the reason for the feud between Chelsea and Millwall.
This kind of thing is commonplace and happens in every country, every region, and every city. It is nothing more than a local cluster that excludes outsiders.
When the dinner was over, the waiter looked at the three boys as if they were monsters, but when he paid the bill, he was very happy. Not only did Aldrich spend a lot of money, but he also tipped well, which made the waiter smile.
