Chapter 644 Damn Grant
Zhang Yang is too confident to lead the team to play against Chelsea.

In the countless games against Chelsea in the past, some were easy to win, some were difficult to win, and there were also times of draws. After accumulating the experience of fighting again and again, he knows how to let the team deal with Chelsea.

In fact, it is very simple to say, because Chelsea's style of play has not changed.

The opponent has not changed, but the team has been improving.

Chelsea is a team that is really difficult to play when they are playing their strengths. Their overall strength is also very strong. Every player can be said to be a big star.

so what?
The biggest problem with the team built by Mourinho with a strong midfielder as the core is that it is not flexible in technology.

In many people's minds, Lampard and Ballack are the world's top midfielders, but they are both physical players rather than technical players. Chelsea does not have a core technical midfielder. Abramovich used to be the main midfielder. Ronaldinho was introduced, but unfortunately the Brazilian finally rejected Chelsea's invitation and chose to join Barcelona.

Since then, Chelsea has been looking for a real technical core midfielder, but so far there is still no gain.

This is normal.

The world's top technical midfielders, as long as they can play, are the top superstars, such as Kaka, such as Messi, such as stars of this level, can no longer be bought simply with money, of course , Any player has a price. Abramovich is willing to spend more than double the value of the player, and it may also bring a technical core midfielder, but he only spent money on fellow countryman Shevchenko. And Mourinho is not the kind of coach who likes technical midfielders very much. He pays more attention to building a strong midfielder lineup. Chelsea's pursuit of technical midfielders is intermittent, and in the end there is no gain.

Without the support of a technical midfielder, Chelsea is also the top team in the world. Even if they encounter Barcelona, ​​they can fight hard with their toughness.

But their opponent is Millwall.

Millwall has Morris, Sneijder, and Braniff in midfield. Now Braniff can be said to have reached the top of the world. Sneijder is still growing, and Morris is more mature. Any two together are enough to support the technical strength of the entire team.

Simpson and Maxi on the wing are also technical players.

What makes Millwall stronger than Barcelona is that they are not afraid to fight Chelsea for a long time in the Premier League.

Even if there are disadvantages in confrontation, it is still possible to fight. Coupled with the overall technicality, Chelsea has no big advantage over them.

Technology is Millwall's biggest advantage.

So to play against Chelsea is to confront them head-on, and to play a certain level of technical football is enough to create a much greater threat than the opponent.

enough.

The current situation of the game is that Chelsea is dominant, but they are only playing with hard work, rather than achieving pure suppression. Millwall defends passively, but Chelsea must concentrate [-]% of their strength on every attack.

During this kind of game, Chelsea will consume more energy and physical fitness, and get fewer opportunities than Millwall.

The outcome of a game is not determined by analysis alone. It is always up to the players to perform on the field, but don't forget Zhang Yang. His ability to 'predict' allows him to avoid 'accidents' as much as possible in such close matches.

natural.

It is too difficult for Chelsea to beat Millwall.

Chelsea didn't know all of this, they were still working hard, and felt over time that their initiative was not active, and the opponent's passivity was not passive either. British BBC radio commentator Lineker said, "The two teams The team's offensive efficiency is too poor, Millwall used fewer offensive times, played a higher threat, and Chelsea, doing useless work most of the time, they seem to have no good way to defend Millwall."

Lineker also talked about the striker gap between the two sides. Chelsea's center forward is Drogba, and the two wingers in the 433 formation are Malouda and Joe Cole.

Drogba's striker's efficiency can only be regarded as mediocre, and Chelsea's defense is even more impressive.

Millwall is different.

Vardy alone scored more goals than Drogba, Joe Cole and Malouda. His partner with Luca Tony is also the strongest combination at Millwall.

So far in the game, neither of them has scored, but they have begun to show efficiency. Whether it is Luca Toni or Vardy, as long as they touch the ball, they will pose a threat to Chelsea's goal.

"The gap between the strikers of the two sides may determine the outcome of the game." Lineker said.

Under normal circumstances, Lineker would not say so with certainty, because Millwall has a stronger striker, which is tantamount to thinking that Millwall will win.

Can Millwall and Chelsea race?The sad part is here that even Chelsea fans don't think that the team has any chance of beating Millwall.

The same goes for the next game.

After Chelsea completed a wave of offense, Millwall controlled the ball and cooperated continuously. Braniff was tightly defended and sent the ball to the wing. Simpson resisted the defense and knocked back to Zambrotta. When it came to passing the ball, he sent the ball into the penalty area without hesitation.

"Hula-"

Accompanied by the exclamation in the stands, Vardy rushed forward to ferry the header!

"Valdy—"

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! Vardy! Vardy! He used a crisp header to help Millwall lead the score!" Lineker shouted excitedly.

Vardy doesn't have many headers.

Vardy is 1.8 meters tall, his jumping ability is not outstanding, and his body is not that strong type. On the contrary, he is more technical and has no special advantage in grabbing headers. This time he scored such a crucial goal with his head.

This is because of running awareness.

The basis of Millwall's tactics is to allow each player to play freely, and in a more capable style of play, running freely without conflict, it is difficult for Chelsea to respond defensively.

Several players interspersed and moved continuously. The overall view is dazzling. Chelsea's defense is difficult to block. They attach great importance to Vardy's defense, but the offensive side is always active. The offensive players run first, and the defensive players can keep up. .

Lineker praised, "This goal reflects the skillful cooperation of Millwall players. Vardy ran to the most correct position at the most correct time!"

"Now that Millwall is leading, Chelsea are somewhat passive. This is Stamford Bridge Stadium. If Millwall cannot win in the first round, it will become more difficult to win at the Neil Stadium."

Lineker is not optimistic about Chelsea.

Since Millwall was promoted to the Premier League, they have not lost against Chelsea. The two teams averaged more than four times in a single season. Not losing a game also proves that Millwall is strong against Chelsea, and now they are leading again After the game, Chelsea still have a chance?
Lineker kept shaking his head thinking about it.

----

Chelsea coach.

The face of the head coach Grant is not very good. Since he coached Chelsea, he has been working hard to lead the team. He knows one thing: it is very difficult to continue to be the Chelsea coach, because he is not famous enough and has no past experience. Supported by the record, no matter the fans, the media or the chairman Abramovich, they don't trust him.

But he also has a chance.

The best chance is to lead the team to defeat Millwall, which Mourinho did not beat. We lost two games in the league, the League Cup final, and the Community Shield. Fans don't blame him.

The premise is... the Champions League defeats Millwall!
As long as he can beat Millwall in the Champions League and lead Chelsea to the semi-finals, he will be able to get huge support. Even the chairman Abramovich will look at him high, because he has done what Mourinho has not done. , What other Premier League teams have not done, even European strong teams have not done it.

The two rounds of confrontation with Millwall are not only for Chelsea to enter the semi-finals, but also the key to whether he can keep the position of coach.

In order to cope with the match against Millwall, Grant and his assistant coaches watched the game video together and continued to study Millwall. They came up with various styles of play, and finally chose the traditional 433-[-]-[-] formation, but the change is Let the players play more freely and play more aggressively.

Chelsea did gain an advantage in the situation by virtue of fighting spirit, active fighting and aggressive style of play, but how can the offensive efficiency of both sides make up for it?

Grant couldn't figure it out.

Now that Millwall scored the first goal, it has become more difficult to win this contest, or even win this game.

So what next?
When Grant was frowning, Abramovich was sitting in the VIP box. He came alone and did not inform others, so he was sitting in the VIP box instead of the rostrum. The reason why he did this , or because of lack of confidence in Chelsea.

Every time Chelsea played against Millwall, most of them ended up losing.

Abramovich has sat on the rostrum twice, both with Wilkinson, the vice chairman of Millwall. He has no good impression of the Saudis. One is the appearance of the other party, which is really unappetizing. Two. Otherwise, every time Chelsea still loses, it is simply a big embarrassment.

Abramovich took out 500 million pounds before the game, but he still has no confidence in Chelsea.

Grant?
How can the Israelis be more ostentatious!
Abramovich also has a judgment in his heart. He is sure that Grant and Zhang Yang are two-level head coaches. He also believes that the team's winning percentage is not high, but he still expects a miracle to happen.

Seeing Millwall's goal, he let out a long breath, thankful that he didn't choose to sit on the rostrum, otherwise it would be another depressing moment.

Of course, it is also very depressed now.

Abramovich intends to leave the game. He doesn't want to see his Chelsea lose, but the importance of the game still makes him decide to continue watching, "If the opponent scores again, leave! Go back to Russia! Damn Grant!"
