The score became 4:2, and Aldrich made the final substitution.
Ram enters, Schneider exits.
Germans for Germans.
"Schneider, the hero who equalized the score for Millwall in this game, was substituted. Interestingly, the player who replaced him was his compatriot, 19-year-old Lahm, who came from the Bayern Munich youth training camp. Bayern Munich signed for
After acquiring Germany's main forward Klose, Lahm and 12.5 million pounds in cash were sent to the Millwall club. Unexpectedly, the German youngster got a chance to play in the first game of the new season, much earlier than we expected.
"
Aldridge is still a substitution, but it still has an impact on the team. When Schneider is on the court, no matter what the score is, Schneider will attack. When Ram comes on the court, he has to be a player at first.
A full-back in the standard sense is based on defense. This is a process that a defender, or a player whose job is to defend, must go through. At the beginning, regardless of other abilities, defense is the first priority. If the defense is not up to par, no matter how good the offense is, it will not be enough.
, otherwise, just play winger.
Now, even if Chelsea found the right routine in the counterattack, Millwall will no longer leave the opponent's wing absolutely open. The chain reaction caused by this is that Millwall's double midfielder defensive area can be reduced, and attention is not paid.
It will be restrained by other local openings, and the defensive quality is much improved than before.
Millwall's offense began to frequently turn to the center. They returned to their previous practice of using the center as the point of advancement, using the left, center and right directions to create opportunities for the final pass or a fatal blow.
Ronaldo wasted two good opportunities on the right. His speed can beat Bridge. Ronaldo, who got a lot of opportunities last season, has made rapid progress, especially in the winger's awareness of cutting inside. However, probably
Let him play on the right wing and his shooting power will not be as good as cutting in on the left wing with his right foot. Once his shot was confiscated by Cudicini, and once it flew into the stands. It was almost a semi-one-shot opportunity.
Aldridge certainly knows that Ronaldo is much more of a threat on the left wing than on the right wing, a modern winger. He plays on the right with his left foot and on the left with his right foot. The purpose is to cut inside and shoot. However, Ronaldo can be very versatile. This
Versatility refers to the category of "forward", so in the early stage, he was placed on the right wing to hone his team awareness, and then moved to the left wing after two seasons. In the end, he may become a free man on the front line and be everywhere.
Another factor is that Ronaldo is not strong enough. He cannot coexist with Ronaldinho on the same side. Ronaldo can accommodate Ronaldo, but Ronaldo will definitely not be able to keep up with Ronaldinho. And once Ronaldo reaches
At a certain level, Millwall's 433 will be transferred to a new technical and tactical system.
In the last five minutes, Chelsea sprinted repeatedly. The wide players also lost their physical fitness, and the pace of the game completely slowed down. Millwall was still attacking aggressively, and Aldridge shook his head as he watched from the sidelines.
A strange scene occurred on the field.
Alonso tirelessly tried to attack, looking for all the openings in the frontcourt, waiting for his teammates to run without the ball to make threatening passes. Ronaldinho would pass the ball back to Alonso after getting the ball.
There were invisible contradictions in the team's technical tactics.
Although the contradiction is very small, the problem reflected is very clear: Alonso's grasp of the rhythm is not strong enough.
When to be fast, when to be slow, when to paralyze the opponent, when to deliberately control the rhythm to make the opponent relax, and when to increase the rhythm of the game to a speed that is so fast that the opponent collapses.
These are things that the team cannot specifically train players and get immediate results. They need a lot of games to hone, so that the person who controls the rhythm can understand, experience and become stronger.
Pirlo lived in a good era. At that time, he grew up and became stronger slowly and easily. Now Alonso is in a tense and stressful environment.
In the limited playing time, Lahm performed quite well, contributing a successful interception against Duff, and did not encounter other challenges.
"In the first round of the Premier League of the new season, Chelsea 2:4 Millwall at home. The game is over. Congratulations to Millwall for their first win of the new season. Chelsea, which has been hotly discussed in the past month, can learn from this game.
Lessons, and a clear understanding of reality, Rome was not built in a day
Yes, the former club owner Bates failed to succeed after 21 years. Now that there is a new owner, it may not be possible for this team to succeed in the short term. In any case, Chelsea has become stronger. This is obvious to all.
However, they are not yet powerful enough to reach the top level!"
After the game, Aldridge did not shake hands with Eriksen. He waited outside the tunnel for three seconds and left without seeing Eriksen get up from the coaching bench.
All Millwall players, except Butt, those who played in today's game and were substituted stood in a row in the field. They took off the jerseys they wore during the game and looked at each other with a smile. It was probably because they were talking before the game.
As agreed upon, he grabbed the crumpled jersey with his right hand, sprinted 15 meters towards the away team fans' stand, and threw the jersey to the away team fans' stand in unison, causing the Lions fans to burst into even greater cheers after the fight.
Cheers.
This scene has become a classic scene in the first round of the Premier League this season.
Fleet Street interpreted the actions of the Millwall players after the game: mocking Chelsea!
I vaguely remember that Chelsea, who couldn't find fault last season, banned the exchange of jerseys after the game in order to save costs.
Millwall players openly threw their jerseys into the stands at Stamford Bridge and gave them to their fans for collection.
In the stands, Chelsea's new boss Abramovich's face had turned livid.
As an outsider, how could he care about the hostility or sworn enemy relationship between Chelsea and Millwall?
However, the team he spent so much effort to build lost at home. Not only was the opponent defeated by their gorgeous and beautiful football, but they also had a carnival here. Isn't this like slaps on his face one after another?
It makes him ridiculous. His rhetoric is a joke, and carefully selecting players to build a team has become a futile exercise.
When he got up and left and walked into the stadium tunnel, an assistant beside him comforted him: "Today was just an accident. We are a brand new team."
"Don't tell me about accidents! This is absolutely unacceptable! Unacceptable! I came here not to be a foil for other people's success, not to be a clown! If I buy Tottenham, Tottenham must become the country
The strongest team! Now, I bought Chelsea, and my Chelsea must also be the strongest team in this country! Listen clearly
Do you hear me clearly? Manchester United is better than us? Arsenal is better than us? Millwall is better than us? Then dismember them! Defeat them! Trample them under your feet! In this land of the fallen empire, the whole people are the most vulnerable.
Welcome to sports or entertainment, my Chelsea. I want to be the king! Do you know what a king is? Everyone kneels down and trembles at the king's feet!"
Abu was so furious that no one else in the passage could see him.
His assistant was obviously stunned. When Abu walked away, he frowned and whispered: "But your personal relationship with the Hall family..."
In fact, in the view of Abramovich's team, English football, whether it is Manchester United or Arsenal, has not yet reached a transcendent level. The only thing that stands in the way of Chelsea, or Chelsea after careful construction, is to become the ruler and surpass the goal.
There's only one: Millwall.
The past history is not what they care about. Just like Liverpool has 18 top league titles and 4 Champions League titles, so what? Before Abramovich came, Chelsea ranked above Liverpool last season. Do they still want it now?
Do you consider Liverpool a rival?
Manchester United and Arsenal seem to be better than Chelsea now, but as long as Chelsea continues to invest, it is not difficult to surpass them. After all, the two teams have not produced particularly shocking achievements in the past few years.
Only Millwall. This is the public enemy of Europe!
Not only Chelsea is trying to surpass Millwall, but other European giants. They are all aiming to build a team and take defeating Millwall as the standard. Why? After defeating Millwall, are they still far away from the top of Europe?
But Chelsea owner Abramovich, everyone around him knows that he has a good personal relationship with the Hall family man who created the myth of wealth in the United States, and both camps are running clubs and are in the same competitive environment.
They were worried that if there was "hostility" at the club, it would affect Abramovich's personal relationship with Barnett Hall.
After realizing that he had lost his temper, Abu quickly gathered his emotions and calmed down. When he heard his assistant's words, he stopped, turned around and said disapprovingly: "Will you and your friends have conflicts over the success or failure of playing games?
That is childish behavior that only a spoiled child would do."
Neither Abramovich nor Barnett has the sentiment of "live for football and die for football".
And with the wealth they possess, they don't treat football clubs from the perspective of team owners investing in commodities in the past. The owners of Manchester United treat Manchester United as a commodity, and Arsenal's shareholders also use rational management as their team building policy. What they care about is
Financial statements focus on balance of payments and profitability, but Abramovich does not. His mentality is the original intention that he deliberately emphasized after buying Chelsea: entertainment.
It may be difficult for ordinary fans to have this mentality, just like some people go to the casino to get rich overnight, while some people go to the casino just to have fun.
Aldrich and his friends sat at the gambling table and played all night. They lost tens of thousands of pounds and just smiled. If someone fell out or had a conflict because of the winning or losing at the gambling table, it can only be said that we are not the same people. Treat them accordingly.
The mentality of gambling is different.
There will also be competition in entertainment. Who wants to lose all the time when playing games? Who doesn’t want to win when playing gambling? Mentality only determines the reaction when facing the results, but does not change the goal of entertainment.
As long as it doesn't break the law, what can't you do?
In Abramovich's view, suppressing Millwall is not a "war" but a game.
We are competing. If you become weaker, I will become stronger.
His relationship with the Hall family, as Andrew said, he has the best relationship with Barnett, followed by Andrew, and Aldrich last. As for whether it will cause a breakdown in the relationship, Abu thinks this is simply impossible.
It's reasonable to play a game until you fall out? Are you still a kid?
Just like in his eyes, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Milan and other teams can try to hollow out Millwall and create trouble for Millwall one after another. Why can't Chelsea? You and them
None of these passers-by have fallen out with each other, so why should they fall out with their friends?
It was really a falling out. Abrams only thought that Aldrich was a child, and he also believed that Barnett would not care, just like they were racing horses together, winning and losing, having fun and having fun. What does it mean to get angry? Can't afford it?
Abramovich's assistant probably figured out what the boss meant. He was originally worried about Millwall, but now, he has to start a new plan to cause trouble for them, weaken and attack Millwall as much as possible, and at the same time, make another plan.
Let Chelsea get on the right track and become stronger day by day. One day, Chelsea will replace Millwall's position in European football! (To be continued)
