Chapter 450 The Second Trophy: League Cup

The camera turns back to Smicer, who is gathering with his teammates, hugging and celebrating excitedly.

The commentator of "Sky Sports" talked about Smicer, "This former Liverpool veteran seems to have ushered in the second spring of his career after joining Millwall. One of the heroes who won the championship."

"This season, Smicer has played fewer games, but his performance is still very stable. What's even more rare is that he can help the team turn the tide at critical moments!"

The evaluation of Smicer by the outside media is still relatively high, which is due to Smicer's outstanding performance in Millwall.

After helping the team score a goal, Smicer was also a little excited.

Smicer is a veteran. He has experienced many things in his career for more than ten years, but in fact, scoring goals is very rare for him.

Smicer is a midfielder, and he is still a midfielder with relatively strong comprehensive strength. He can do well in every aspect, such as dribbling, coordination, running, defense, overall situation, etc., but it is not enough. At the top, because of this, he is a versatile midfielder, but it is difficult to score a few goals.

Smicer scored nine goals in the league last season, tying his career scoring record in a single season.

That dates back to the 1995-1996 season, when Smicer played for the Prague Slavs in the Czech League. He performed quite well in the last season, scoring nine goals in 28 appearances.

After that, Smicer joined Ligue [-] Lens and played for the third season. He scored seven goals personally, which is already quite remarkable.

Smicer’s peak period was spent in Liverpool. He is a veteran of Liverpool, but the Premier League is not comparable to the Czech League and Ligue [-]. The Premier League pays more attention to defense, and the league level is much higher. Most of Smicer Time, can only act as a player who plays for the striker, and his assists are more than goals.

In the 2001-2002 season, Smicer played the best. In that season, he helped the team score four goals in the league. In the next season, Smicer ushered in the trough of scoring. Did not help the team score a league goal.

It can be seen from the above data that the goal seems to have little to do with Smicer.

It is precisely because it is not easy to score goals that it is even more commendable. When Smicer scored nine league goals, it was considered by the media to usher in his "second spring".

This season, Smicer has played fewer games and scored a lot fewer goals, but so far, Smicer has scored four goals, which is quite remarkable.

Smicer is almost 34 years old.

Players at this age are declining very quickly and have already begun to consider retirement. Smicer never expected that he would be able to perform so stably.

In the current League Cup final, Smicer also helped the team score a key goal. The excitement in his heart can be imagined. He feels that the thing he regrets most in his career is to choose to join Millwall.

"It would be nice for Millwall to rise sooner!"

"Zhang Yang became the head coach a few years ago, maybe his career will be even more brilliant!"

Smicer thought regretfully.

----

Smicer didn't know that the goal was due to publicity.

Zhang Yang used his magical powers to help Smichel score a goal. In fact, the goal was only incidental. He mainly prevented Lampard's goal from happening. "Precognition" saw the scene of Lampard's goal and changed Smichel in advance. Chell's shot, regardless of whether the goal happened or not, as long as Cech couldn't throw the ball into his arms, Chelsea would not be able to launch a quick counterattack, which prevented Lampard's chance from the source.

The use of this 'speaking with the law' is really rewarding.

If it hadn't been for the 'speaking method' to work, Lampard would have helped Chelsea complete the goal, and the score would have become 1 to 1 accordingly, and now it has become 2 to 0, being tied and leading by two goals , It is completely reversing the two situations, and it will also cause the two teams to have two mentalities.

Millwall was pretty relaxed and they had the trophy in one hand.

Chelsea is very pessimistic.

From the start of the game to the present, Chelsea has an advantage in the situation, but failed to score a goal, while Millwall has two goals. With [-] minutes left in the game, can they still tie the score?

Looking back on the past match against Millwall, the mentality of many players has been affected. They think that the team has a very small chance of tying, or that Chelsea will definitely lose to Millwall.

This mentality also affected Chelsea's performance.

Mourinho walked to the sidelines and shouted to direct the game. He hoped to rely on this approach to make the players more motivated to fight, but the result was that Millwall scored the third goal. ball.

No.801 minutes, Vardy rushed into the penalty area, received a pass from Simpson, and was about to complete something when he was tripped to the ground by Carvalho.

penalty!

Vardy kicked a dead corner with little force, Cech threw the wrong direction, and could only watch the football hit the net.

"Three to zero!"

"Vardy helped Millwall secure the victory, and Chelsea basically has no hope!"

"..."

Mourinho must also admit that there is basically no hope for Chelsea.

Three to zero!
What else could Chelsea do? It is absolutely impossible to score three goals in 10 minutes.

Mourinho sat back in his seat, staring blankly at the field, Drogba on the front line, Ballack and Essien on the midfielder, these are all players he trusted, but they didn't Excellent performance, helping the team beat Millwall.

Do this Chelsea team have a chance of beating Millwall?
Mourinho recalled the past games and carefully considered this issue. He believed in his coaching ability, and also believed that Chelsea, which he formed with one hand, had the strength to beat Millwall.

But why do you still lose the game again and again?
Mourinho couldn't think of the answer to the question, he could only turn his head and look at the Millwall coach's bench on the other side.The young man sat relaxed, completely unable to see even the slightest worry about the game, perhaps it has been like this since the beginning of the game, and it has been like this in every match.

"What the hell is he thinking?"

"Is it because his tactical ability is better? Or he is lucky, every time he plays against Chelsea, the opponent's players are in better condition?" Mourinho thought carefully, and he couldn't do anything about it. answer.

Eventually Mourinho shook his head.

He knew that he couldn't think of a result, and it was pointless to think about it.

After losing this game, unless he can lead the team to achieve a league reversal and help Chelsea win the first Champions League trophy in history, the end of the season will be the day to leave Chelsea.

But... is that possible?
----

After the game restarted, the Chelsea players were still fighting hard, but it was only for the sake of face, and they had accepted the result in their hearts.

Millwall didn't pay much attention to scoring goals. At the end of the day, they didn't have much desire to attack. They just waited for the time to pass. Everyone was looking forward to the championship.

"Champion! Champion!"

"Millwall!"

The Millwall fans in the stands also began to shout, and the "Sky Sports" commentator traced back to Millwall's achievements, "Last season Millwall won the league and the FA Cup double championship. In August, Millwall After winning the Community Shield and now the League Cup, the number of championships has been tied with last season."

"Don't forget that Millwall is still at the top of the league. They have occupied the top position since the beginning of the season. It is not surprising to continue to win the league championship."

"Millwall's results in the Champions League are also good. They beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the first round, and played at home in the second round. They have a great chance of eliminating Real Madrid..."

"So far this season, Millwall's results are perfect. They have achieved good results in the third-tier competitions. This championship may be just icing on the cake. We look forward to Millwall's continued excellent performance..."

"..."

Under the expectations of the media, fans and players, time passed by every minute.

Finally, 2 minutes of stoppage time ended, the referee blew the final whistle, and the stadium broadcast announced at the same time——
"Congratulations to Millwall! They beat Chelsea and became the champions of the English League Cup in the 2006-2007 season!"

"Hula-"

Then there was a tsunami-like shout from the stadium.

----

Millwall began their title celebrations.

Every player is full of joy to win the championship. It's just that the League Cup is tasteless, but the championship is a championship after all, representing the honor of being the first, and it is also the result of their hard work.

Many people surrounded the city in a circle, cheering and celebrating together. Zhang Yang also participated in it, feeling the enthusiasm brought by the championship.

After a brief celebration, all Millwall players bowed and thanked the fans present.

Then came the awards ceremony.

On behalf of the team, Darren Ward received the trophy symbolizing the championship. The moment the trophy was raised, the atmosphere of the stadium reached a climax.

This moment belongs to Millwall--
"This is Millwall's second trophy. At the beginning of the season, they already had the Community Shield and now the League Cup. Interestingly, when mentioning two trophies, you have to mention Chelsea. Whether it is the Community Shield , or the League Cup, against Chelsea."

"Maybe Chelsea fans hate Millwall. Every time they reach the final, they will meet Millwall and be defeated by Millwall every time. Since the rise of Millwall, they seem to be the second in ten thousand years... ..."

"I don't know what Mourinho thinks, but what is certain is that Mourinho and Chelsea lost completely to Zhang Yang and Millwall."

"Before the season, Millwall coach Zhang Yang once talked about the team's goals. He said that he would strive for a place in the European competition, that is, the top six, and the highest is only the top four, but it has been proved that it is just a humble speech by the Chinese. , and very humble...Millwall can definitely set their sights on the league championship, because their advantage in the league is very obvious. They can even be placed in the Champions League. Disaster……"

"But anyway, this season may turn out to be Millwall's season."

"Next, Millwall will work hard for various championships!"

During the narrator's broadcast, the TV screen was frozen on the scene of Zhang Yang sticking the trophy on his cheek.
