ps: During the Chinese New Year this month, everything is entangled. Because there is no manuscript, it will be updated twice a day. I hope you will forgive me.

In the stands of Stamford Bridge, Abramovich sat blankly on his seat. He assumed a posture similar to that of Aldridge before the goal, with his hand resting on his chin, his expression slightly bewildered and helpless.

Compared with the league, he values ​​the Champions League more. The influence of the Champions League is too great, and the excitement of the Champions League is relatively higher.

Now at home, Chelsea is behind. He naturally understands the rules of the Champions League, and Chelsea's situation is precarious.

Abramovich thought he was very patient, digging Millwall's people, and recruiting the next generation of young talents in advance. This is a long-term construction layout. The aid policy, Abu Chanduo, added youth training.

However, looking at Millwall's performance this season and the average age of Millwall's overall lineup, Abramovich thinks that his past thoughts are a little naive or optimistic.

How could Millwall fall easily?

Don't look at Chelsea's pursuit of Millwall in the league.

However, has Mourinho ever focused on training Chelsea's young players during the season?

What about Millwall?

They were pulled closer to the points by Chelsea. In a sense, there was also the impact of Aldridge's record price for training rookies.

Moutinho, Veloso, Messi, Ramos, and Millwall are not as crazy as they used to be to give young players room to level up, but they are always carrying forward the tradition they have always insisted on.

At this point of comparison, Chelsea is caught in a deadlock of ego.

The first team can't train, so what's the use of buying young players?

Glenn Johnson, who was bought last year, almost disappeared this season. If things go on like this, what is Chelsea's attraction to young players, especially top talents?

The more he thinks about these issues of running the club, the more headache Abramovich gets.

It's not just the annoyance caused by a dangerous game on the court.

inside the stadium.

Mourinho was in a state of turmoil, perhaps even he himself didn't notice any prominent problems in the bombardment of public opinion in the media.

Because when Fleet Street looked forward to this Champions League derby, the voices from the mainstream media were not exaggerated.

Millwall's home stadium, the Lion King Stadium, is indeed the devil's home stadium in Europe!

The giants from all over Europe have basically played as guests at the Lion King Stadium, but they didn't take advantage of it there.

When Fleet Street suggested ideas for Chelsea. The tone is not one-sided pessimistic, but tragic!

It needs Chelsea to get a relatively good result at home, and then they can hope to go to the Lion King Stadium to win in the second round!

Having learned from the disastrous defeat in the first round of the league match, although Mourinho did not dare to fight against Millwall in the whole game. But suddenly exerting force at the right time is his main idea for this game.

However, Millwall seemed to have foreseen it a long time ago, and they waited for Chelsea to be unable to hold back and the defense loosened to attack!

a ball!

It was just that Millwall scored a goal at Stamford Bridge, but the coaches of both sides knew in their hearts: Chelsea's Champions League journey has reached a critical moment of life and death!

There was no further disturbance in the first half. Chelsea did not dare to attack after losing the ball, so they had to be steady first. The sudden loss of the ball hit them too hard.

When the players of both sides went to the player tunnel, the Millwall fans in the stands sang: Chelsea, Chelsea, attack if you have the guts! Attack if you have the guts!

Jose Mourinho's first season in charge of Chelsea is drawing to a close. Not to mention Premier League fans, even fans in Europe and even around the world have a mature impression of Chelsea.

Tough, solid defense, focusing on counterattacks.

These three characteristics are the most obvious.

Fans who don't like Chelsea will naturally ridicule them that they only play sneak attacks. In the coaching circle, the coach who played against Chelsea. There is also no lack of people who are very disgusted with Chelsea and criticize Mourinho's team for excessive utilitarianism. For example, the opponent in the round of 16, Barcelona!

Black Swan Rijkaard had a sharp conflict with Mourinho.

It's not unreasonable for Barcelona fans to hate Chelsea because they think they won't win, and Chelsea insinuated during the Barcelona game that the referee was bought by Barcelona after Mourinho claimed he bumped into Rijkall at half-time De walked into the referee lounge, which was against the rules.

Aldridge rarely expressed his likes and dislikes to other coaches in front of the media.

Some words, needless to say.

He did not shake hands with Mourinho, it has already explained everything.

Before the game, Aldridge's relaxed posture in the media was also interpreted by the outside world as a disguised mockery of Mourinho.

It has been said that the way to lead a team to knock out Manchester United is to say to the players in the dressing room: Ruud van Nistelrooy earns more than all of you combined! I wonder if the Chelsea manager can now put Say this sentence to the Chelsea players again, so as to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players?

In terms of stimulating the morale of the army, Mourinho will definitely not be able to motivate the team with the stimulating way of fighting with mud legs like he did when he coached Porto in the past. Now he can't talk about money, but only about honor.

However, when it comes to honor, how can Millwall's fighting spirit be weaker than theirs?

Chelsea is working hard towards the first Premier League title and the first Champions League title.

What about Millwall?

It is the first in the history of winning the Champions League!

They are only one Champions League away from tying Real Madrid and Milan for the number of championships!

At halftime, Mourinho changed the team's technical and tactical play.

In the first half, he may have only fought for a short period of time, but in the end, he lost!

In the second half, maybe the whole second half, Chelsea will bet everything!

So what if they score a goal to tie the game?

1:1

Millwall have the advantage on away goals and Chelsea are actually still behind.

So, the goal in the second half is to score at least two goals!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Aldridge returned to the coach's bench, reading the game calmly.

Chelsea played differently in the second half.

The premise of the back line is that the midfielder presses wildly, and the forward line also retreats to compress the space in the midfield.

If an ordinary team encounters Chelsea's style of play, it will actually be unbearable.

Because Chelsea's midfielders are too capable of sweeping, the general team needs to organize the attack in the midfield and over-connect. Just in this area, the number of people is dense, and the chances of being blocked by Chelsea and then playing a fast break will be very high.

But Millwall is not afraid. They have long been familiar with retreating the offense even more. The organization area is not only in the midfield, but the entire defense can organize the offense.

The good tacit understanding makes them not feel like playing with fire when passing the ball at the back line. If they play like this suddenly, the players must not adapt to it, but if they are used to this style of play for 1 year, 2 years, or even longer, they will It will appear very relaxed.

Even if Chelsea got the ball to organize an attack, Millwall's defense was very targeted, retreating the defense line, not defending above, not rushing up outside the dangerous area, and the defensive formation in the dangerous area in front of the goal was very tight, always keeping four Defender and double defensive midfielder protection.

Chelsea's shortcomings are very obvious in this game. They are not good at positional warfare. Even if Millwall only puts on a complete back line and double midfielders, Chelsea lacks when the offensive end comes to the frontcourt. Change, they don't have Ronaldinho, they can't pass a highly concealed pass, and their wing breakthroughs also lack power because there is not enough space. Now, they can only end the offense with long shots, otherwise , they may lose the ball in the hesitation, and then be played fast by Millwall.

Millwall will press like crazy and so will Chelsea.

But where there is a gap, when Millwall grabs the opponent, most of the opponents are surprised, or the difference in strength is too large and they collapse under pressure, but there are also Millwall who absolutely cannot win, such as when they played against Real Madrid. Derich will not let Millwall go crazy to press Real Madrid. The focus when switching from offense to defense is to retreat quickly. Return to the defensive area first, because Real Madrid has the kind of top players with long-distance and accurate long passes. And a top striker with excellent running ability.

And Chelsea's frantic pursuit of Millwall has two disadvantages. First, the ball is at Millwall's feet for a long time. You have to take a breath, and if you want to explode again, your body will definitely not be able to keep up. Second, Millwall also has top players with accurate long-distance and long-distance passes!

In the 69th minute of the game, Chelsea missed a long shot and the ball was confiscated by Bout. Then, Chelsea's offensive players did not retreat and continued to press wildly in the frontcourt.

Millwall passed back and forth three times on the back line, and finally Lahm sent the ball straight up the frontcourt. Makelele and Essien both frantically pressed in the midfield. Looking around, Henry ran out of space to catch the high-altitude ball. Facing the incoming ball with his back to the Chelsea penalty area, he unloaded the ball perfectly with his chest, and then before Carvalho behind him made a steal, Makelele came to steal it, and he knocked the ball back to Ronaldinho who inserted behind him.

Makelele had predicted the pass to Ronaldinho this time, so he turned around and blocked Ronaldinho together with Essien.

Ronaldinho dribbled the ball horizontally, but took the initiative to slow down. After Essien and Makelele pressed forward, Ronaldinho made an incredible move for them.

He turned to protect the ball!

Backs to Chelsea's goal!

Is this going to get cold feet and go to your own goal?

of course not.

When Essien and Makelele were in doubt, Ronaldinho pulled the ball behind him and dexterously knocked the ball horizontally. Makelele and Essien, who pounced on Ronaldinho, looked in surprise at the direction of the ball rolling.

It's their rear, the middle area.

A fast-moving figure flew past.

Son of God, Kaka! (to be continued)
