The Young Lion

For a dominant team, their own weaknesses are often not too obvious, otherwise they will not be able to ascend to the throne.

And after reaching the top of the world, most of the king's teams will get carried away and lose their humility in their posture. When most of them fall, it is not that the team itself has a flaw, but is targeted by the opponent to enlarge the inconspicuous itself. Weaknesses, and then defeated in one fell swoop.

It is conceivable that if Millwall recklessly pushed the offense to the forefront and rushed into the penalty area because of the four kills of Chelsea last season, Chelsea would be aware of it before the game and guard against Millwall doing so. Invisibly, Chelsea's counterattack efficiency will increase again!

Aldridge won't do such a stupid thing, he wants to tell Mourinho implicitly through this game: Don't even think about playing with the king of this land!

So what if the game is a draw?

Failed to represent Millwall?

No, king, still king.

In the standings, Millwall is still overwhelming Chelsea, and Chelsea can't turn the sky!

Chelsea did not take a few chances to counterattack in the first half because Millwall was too stable!

When Chelsea wanted to attack, Millwall's midfield was tight.

Chelsea wants to play positional warfare, at least in front of Millwall, and their own technical and tactical characteristics are limited. In terms of positional warfare alone, there are many teams in Europe that are better than Chelsea.

In front of Millwall, Drogba was frozen by Nesta, the more mature Silva also seemed calm about Robben's inside threat on the wing, and Joe Cole on the other side was killed by Schneider dead suppression.

Chelsea only had two non-threatening shots in the first half, and even Millwall's shots came from long-range shots or set kicks. But the offensive threat is clearly higher than the opponent.

First half shots 11:2.

The two teams walked into the locker room with a score of 0:0.

Aldridge looked extraordinarily calm. And Mourinho frowned deeply. He is worried and suspicious.

Even at this moment, Mourinho thought that Aldridge's cowardice was because he was afraid of him!

Millwall want to secure a draw to secure their lead at the top of the table.

If Millwall doesn't want to win,

A draw can be satisfied, so Mourinho believes that there is no hope for Chelsea to win this game.

All his tactical ideas. The environment to win the game, that is, the way Chelsea's goals may appear, except for luck and accidents, then there is only a counterattack, which requires Millwall to attack Chelsea's goal more aggressively.

Originally, as time went by, it should be that Millwall became more and more flustered, eager to win. At the Lion King Stadium, their own home stadium, shouldn't it be more risky?

But now Mourinho is not sure. Once Millwall is determined to get 1 point, Chelsea can only be led by the nose by the opponent.

In the bursting atmosphere of the scene. Millwall still persisted in shooting long shots. In the 67th minute of the second half, Ronaldinho got rid of the space in front of Essien and shot the long shot from the far corner of the goal. Sigh.

The Chelsea generals were terrified. Millwall's long-range shot was too threatening. If it wasn't for luck and Cech's stable performance, Millwall had already knocked on their gate with a long-range shot.

When the game came to the 75th minute, Mourinho was caught in a decision on the sidelines.

He was thinking about whether to go with the flow, so he just got 1 point!

At any rate, they can maintain the 2-point gap with Millwall, although this seemingly ordinary 2 points will make Chelsea feel extremely bitter.

When he was hesitating, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

The Chelsea generals didn't come here with the idea of ​​getting 1 point. Even Mourinho firmly stated that he came here to get 3 points when he gave a lecture in the dressing room before the game!

if not?

He told the players that we just need to get a draw, which would be a serious blow to the morale of the players, as if Chelsea had surrendered!

Once led by 9 points!

This is surrender?

Of course not!

Therefore, the slogan of taking 3 points is to improve morale.

When the final period of the game came, the Chelsea players consciously fought for the 3 points!

They rushed out!

At this moment, Aldridge on the sidelines and those talented Millwall players on the field screamed hello in their hearts at the same time!

In the confrontation between top teams, the psychological contest is a link that cannot be ignored.

Today, Millwall can be said to be unlucky, and it can be said that they did not perform very well, but in terms of mentality, they are more sophisticated and calm. At the same time, it is also an invisible pressure on the opponent.

Now, Chelsea can't hold back!

When Chelsea started to attack forward, invested more troops, and pressed forward in a three-line formation, Millwall immediately changed his style of play in the tug-of-war with the opponent without Aldridge's command!

In the 77th minute, after the pressure of Chelsea's formation, the top players on the offensive end relieved the pressure. Therefore, Robben became a little independent when there was a certain amount of space, and insisted on going it alone with the ball!

At the Lion King Stadium, Robben always seemed very emotional.

Here he bears the infamy of a traitor, and before he left, he was beaten up by the Millwall players!

He insisted on going it alone, and he put too much energy on Silva in front of him, Lahm who was obliquely preparing to cover the center, and De Rossi who was close to him on the other side. It can be said that Millwall was double-teamed by three people. , but did not take the initiative to grab, because he was afraid that someone would step forward, and then the passing space would be exposed.

Robben was thinking about what to do next, how to break through the double-teaming circle, but he didn't expect someone to poke the ball off his feet from behind!

There was a lot of cheers at the scene!

Ram immediately rushed forward and kicked the ball forward three meters in front of Rob himself, and passed the ball to the man who poked the ball behind Rob himself.

Robben looked back and saw a ponytail swaying in the wind.

Ronaldinho!

As soon as Ronaldinho touched the ball, he immediately attracted many Chelsea players. Lampard and Drogba were rushing towards him. Ronaldinho picks the ball in the middle. Avoid Lampard.

After Kaka got the ball, he immediately started to dribble forward!

The speed is lightning fast. overwhelming.

Essien and Makelele were on the verge of a formidable enemy. Seeing Kaka rushing towards the ball, they were ready to intercept the ball head-on. Essien would go first, followed by Makelele.

However, when Kaka was about to come to Essien, Kaka suddenly turned around. Moves laterally with the ball, barely forward any more.

Essien's pupils shrunk in disbelief, as if he wanted to ask the other party: Where are you going? The goal is not that direction!

Essien also instinctively moved laterally to chase Kaka, but as soon as he moved, the distance between him and Makelele widened, and a passing line appeared!

Kaka quickly made a straight pass and passed the ball diagonally between Essien and Makelele!

Henry touched the ball behind Makelele, and he was already at the front of the penalty area!

Chelsea's back line was a little flustered at the moment, and for the first time in the whole game, Henry was given a relatively loose environment to control the ball.

Henry also handles the ball in unconventional ways. He took a step forward with the ball and saw that he was going to hit Carvalho's defense zone, but suddenly pulled the ball horizontally. In a blink of an eye, it seemed that he was going to confront Terry again.

When Carvalho and Terry were both suspicious and blocked Henry, Chelsea's back line did not reach a consistent defensive movement.

Ashley Cole was originally staring at Ronaldo, especially when he pressed Ronaldo's offside line, but there was no agreement on the defender's movement.

Henry slanted the ball behind Setri and Carvalho when he moved laterally. At the same time, Ronaldo rushed past Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole used both hands and feet, doing everything possible to block Ronaldo. In such a physical entanglement and confrontation, c simply shoveled out from the penalty spot!

Cech had already abandoned the goal, but Ronaldo's toes were faster, and he poked the ball towards the goal first. Cech and Ashley Cole collided together, and Terry, who was back on defense, avoided it due to sudden braking. Stepped on Ashley Cole and rolled over!

The people in the Chelsea penalty area are turned on their backs!

The ball slowly rolled into the goal!

Ferreira flew to the goal line to save him with a sliding tackle, but he had to roll into the goal with the ball!

boom!

The sound of the Lion King Stadium was like thunder shaking the sky!

Ronaldo got up from the ground, turned his head to look in Henry's direction, and looked at his teammates who looked at him from different distances and showed wild smiles. He roared excitedly and ran to the sidelines with a smile, welcoming the cheers of the fans!

The ball went in! c Ronaldo broke the deadlock on the field. Millwall played really beautifully this fast break. Ronaldinho instigated the attack from the midfielder. Kaka dribbled the ball forward for a certain distance and then sent a direct pass. After attracting Terry and Carvalho in front of the penalty area, he went straight behind the defender, and Ronaldo grabbed a point and shot, although the force may be a bit lighter, but no matter how hard the Chelsea players try, they can't stop the ball from rolling into the goal!

Mourinho wiped his face on the sidelines, a thousand thoughts flashing through his mind.

It seems that this conceded goal once again confirmed a truth he believed in: if you want to beat Millwall, don't take the initiative to attack!

In the VIP box at the Lion King Stadium, Chelsea owner Abramovich saw the team lose the ball, got up and left blankly.

Aldrich showed a smile on his face, and said to himself: Good job, boy.

Since he talked with Ronaldo at the beginning of the season, in the past few months, it cannot be said that Ronaldo has taken on a new look, but it is obvious that his aggressiveness on the court has become stronger, his strong fighting spirit and fanatical attitude towards victory, and he can stand up at critical moments, that is A very good sign.

Chelsea did not have an advantage in the scene, and now the score is behind. Aldridge did not let the team retreat, but kept the team unchanged and continued to put pressure on Chelsea. Only under pressure, Chelsea will Continue to be suppressed!

The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game.

Chelsea ushered in the second defeat of the new season. After defeating Old Trafford, they once again returned home at the Lion King Stadium.

At the end of the first half of the new Premier League season, Millwall has a record of 15 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, with 48 points leading the second place Chelsea and leading the standings by 5 points! (To be continued..)
