----------------------------------

The 3:0 score was maintained until the end of the game.

Millwall defeated Manchester United at home and temporarily extended their lead in the standings to 6 points. If Chelsea beat Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can also shorten the gap between the two sides to 3 points.

Aldridge shook hands with Ferguson after the match, but the two still had no exchange, and turned and left respectively. One wanted to lead the team to compete for the FA Cup, and the other wanted to compete in both the league and the Champions League.

In an interview after the game, Aldridge said bluntly: The victory of this game is very critical. The players and I are well aware of this. Before the game, some people said that playing first is not good for us. Facts have proved that we have enough courage. With the will to overcome any difficulties, now, we have got 3 points, the pressure has turned to Chelsea, but now we can't turn our attention to the next round of league games at Stamford Bridge, we have to start preparing for Juventus. The Champions League semi-final is here and the good news is that we have a key player back from injury, Kaka, and his timely recovery is very important for us.

 …

The Premier League championship is intensifying, and it has come to the final sprint stage.

Millwall took the lead in defeating Manchester United, and the pressure naturally came to Chelsea's side.

Chelsea only has the league left, so they have enough time to rest, but Mourinho is depressed!

But he couldn't complain to the media.

In fact, Chelsea play first or play later. It doesn't matter.

The point is, their opponent, Arsenal!

Manchester United lost to Millwall without resistance, and the team's physical fitness and fighting spirit must be the key factors.

And Arsenal have two days more rest than Manchester United!

Their game against Chelsea is the latest!

The outside world said that Millwall had one less day off, in fact. Mourinho prefers that the Millwall game be played at the latest.

In this way, just looking at this round of the league, Millwall did have more rest, but Manchester United can also rest for two more days. The possibility of Manchester United sniping Millwall will increase.

At the same time, the time between Millwall and the semi-finals of the Champions League will be shortened, which will have a direct impact on the next round, that is, the league final at Stamford Bridge, making Millwall better consumed.

But it is precisely because Millwall has a Champions League mission. So their games are played first in the league.

Of course, the days of the strong dialogue must be staggered, and the ratings and attention are guaranteed. In this way, Chelsea seems to have rested more, but Arsenal also have relatively more time to recover from the consumption of the FA Cup.

How can Mourinho not be depressed?

Chelsea fans are still optimistic about this game against Arsenal.

Arsenal has no hope of winning the championship, and their focus has shifted to the FA Cup. They played the FA Cup semi-finals with all their strength in the middle of the week before, while Chelsea were full of energy. The probability of winning the game should be higher.

However, in the last round of the Premier League final game, at Stamford Bridge. After 90 minutes of the game, the entire Stamford Bridge fell into silence!

Mourinho was expressionless, Wenger looked relaxed, Arsenal players exited the field calmly and orderly, while Chelsea players stood on the pitch looking at a loss and in a trance.

0:0! The game is over. Chelsea and Arsenal have a goalless draw at home! This is not a result that Chelsea fans want to see, but the reality cannot be changed! Arsenal counterattacked defensively in this game The style of play is the main focus. They don't seem to have the determination to win here. The willpower shown by Chelsea is sufficient. However, the lack of creativity exposed in the tough battle is their shortcoming in skills and tactics. Don't look at the statistics. Boom 20 shots, but at least 70% of them are non-threatening long-range shots. Among them, they lack creativity in the frontcourt. When there is no counterattack space, they are like headless chickens. The requirements for Chelsea coach Mourinho are too harsh. Chelsea have performed well enough this season. Their counterattacks have scared countless opponents and even forced them to give up their attacks. However, they are not good at breaking through dense defenses. If Chelsea wants to They are stronger, and they need to strengthen their ability in this area in the future. After 35 rounds of the Premier League, Millwall, the leader in the standings, has moved away from second-ranked Chelsea by 5 points! If the next round is at home, Chelsea can beat Millwall Millwall, they still need Millwall to make mistakes in the last two rounds of the league in order to reverse and win the league title, but this possibility is really very slim...

As soon as the results of the derby between Chelsea and Arsenal came out, the Wild Lions fans were overjoyed!

In the past few months, Chelsea has chased from 10 points behind to only 3 points behind. Seeing that the miracle is getting closer and closer, Manchester United failed to attack Millwall. Instead, Arsenal almost shattered Chelsea's dream of winning the league!

 …

Let's turn our attention to Italy.

In 2003, Lippi led Juventus to win the Serie A championship again. In that year, he made a promise to bring Juventus a Champions League. If he couldn't do it, he would resign and leave.

In the summer of 2004, not only did Juventus fail to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League, but the league title was also snatched away by Milan.

Lippi fulfilled his promise, resigned and left, and then Capello entered the Bianconeri!

When the major leagues are ending, La Liga will end at the latest. There are still 5 rounds in the league. Barcelona leads Real Madrid by 8 points, which is a huge advantage!

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have secured the league title ahead of schedule.

Lyon in Ligue 1 are ushering in an era of domestic dominance as their streak continues.

With 3 rounds left in the Premier League, Millwall is 5 points ahead of Chelsea. Their probability of winning the championship has been affirmed by the gaming company, because the betting option on the championship was directly closed after Chelsea was tied by Arsenal.

The situation in Serie A is the most stalemate. With 5 rounds left in the league, the defending champion Milan and Juventus have the same points! In the penultimate round, the two teams will also have a decisive battle in San Siro!

Let's say Juventus. Milan, Millwall, the pressure on the three teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League is approximately the same.

Not only are they competing for the league championship, they are only one step away from the Champions League final, and they are also in the middle of the two rounds of the Champions League semi-final. There are strong dialogues between league rivals.

In this context, Aldridge led Millwall to Turin as a guest at Juventus.

Aldridge complimented Juventus coach Fabio Capello before the game, and joked that many years ago, he was very yearning to play against Fabio Capello.

It's just that he didn't say the whole thing, he yearned for Capello in the confrontation. It was Capello, the Real Madrid coach in the late 1990s, not Capello today, let alone Capello, who will enter Real Madrid for the second time in the future.

What's the difference?

Of course, Capello is still Capello, but the cards in his hand are different. Immersed in a league with a unique style for a long time, the self-style will naturally change subtly.

Serie A has lost the throne of the world's number one league, due to the loss of stars and the conservative style of Italy in the new era of eyeball bombardment. Regardless of whether fans understand football or not, of course they want to see goals. The goal rate of La Liga and the Premier League is low, and it is in the promotion of the media age. Naturally, it is somewhat easy to be compared. The number of goals scored by the leaders Juventus and Milan is not as good as Millwall's 2/3 goals. It is also not as good as the number of goals scored by the La Liga duo.

Del Alpi Stadium.

The unsmiling Capello was on the sidelines making a fuss about what Millwall wanted when he came to the away game today!

Millwall put out a line-up he didn't expect.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Lahm.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Nedved.

Forward: Larson. Villa, Glenshire.

on the bench. Alonso, Henry. Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, the four main players are all sitting there.

And judging from the attitude after the opening, Millwall obviously didn't come here to win!

They dragged the pace very slowly, very slowly, even slower than many underdogs in Serie A, and the players seemed to have no motivation to play.

Juventus rely on the advantages of the home court, hoping to win Millwall at home, and then go to the Lion King Stadium to buy tickets to advance to the final.

As a result, Millwall passed the control in the midfield for a long time, as if it was consuming the game time, which made Juventus lack of offensive opportunities.

Aldridge standing on the sidelines is very simple.

In the first game of the Champions League semi-final, as long as there is no loss in 90 minutes, or a small loss by one goal, he can accept it, but the main force of the team should not consume too much.

They are going to fight Chelsea away.

Therefore, the back players on the offensive end are all sitting on the bench, with a solid defense in the midfield, killing opponents with pass control, and changing direction is also a kind of seduction.

In Millwall's favor, after this Champions League semi-final, they will go to Stamford Bridge, but before the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Juventus and Milan will have a top battle at San Siro !

That game will inevitably force Juventus to consume excessively!

Therefore, from the perspective of the overall strategy, the best time for the decisive battle between Millwall and Juventus is not now, but in the second round. At that time, Millwall will have the right time, place and people!

Capello’s management is rigorous, and his technical and tactical execution on the field is also implemented to the end. Juventus dare not easily go up to expose the space behind them. In Serie A, it is rare to see a team that dares to press and attack. This is not the philosophy of this league. , is not the way to survive here, but any Serie A team that holds high the banner of offensive football is often beaten by all kinds of heroes in the local league before they leave the house, and they have to start a new life.

This is Juventus' home court, and Millwall has no mental burden. Aldridge and Capello competed patiently, depending on who loses their mentality first in the first 90 minutes.

Juventus couldn't control the rhythm of the game at home, and they didn't dare to invest more troops even in the offense. Capello felt helpless.

The champion coach who was ridiculed by the media in Spain as the style of football makes cows look boring began to taste the bitterness of being counterattacked in the same way by his opponent. (to be continued)
