The Young Lion

omg! omg! Kaka, super Kaka! Listen, inside the Stade de France, the Wild Lions fans are chanting Kaka's name in unison, for a long time! Kaka has been steadily improving every season since joining Millwall Card's strength has reached a height recognized by everyone. He is a midfielder coveted by the European giants. There is no doubt that in today's scene, he can score such a classic goal, scoring from a zero angle! Violent volley and zero-angle goal! We don't have to doubt that another football superstar is born in Millwall's formation!

The trend of the game took a dramatic turn. After Kaka scored, the score on the scoreboard changed to 2:2. Chelsea's two-goal lead in the first half disappeared in the 73rd minute of the second half. The game seemed to be back. The origin, however, observing the morale and team state of the two teams at this time, there is no doubt that Millwall, which came from behind, has the upper hand! What should Chelsea do? From the very beginning of the game, Chelsea were very conservative, and in the second half, they hardly attacked , Conservative so that people are speechless, which made them pay the price, they were constantly bombed by Millwall's attack, and finally the city gate fell twice, ruining the efforts of the first half! How will Mourinho choose? Will he continue to be conservative? ?The question now is that pure defense may keep them from conceding a goal, but their counterattack seems to be declining. If they can’t score goals, how will Chelsea win this Champions League final? Is it a penalty shootout?”

In the VIP box, Chelsea club officials looked stern, while Abramovich looked numb.

To be honest, apart from scoring goals, Chelsea have other moments. He couldn't bring up the applause for the team.

Too conservative.

To describe it from a layman's perspective is: ugly!

It's the same fantasy team he originally envisioned. Romantic football. It is simply the opposite extreme presentation!

In the words of the media, Abramovich fell in love with football because he watched the goal battle between Millwall and La Liga duo, as well as Real Madrid and Manchester United. The attack was fierce, brilliant, and the rhythm of destruction made people forget the time. Elapsed, fully immersed in football's most beautiful images. It was by no means that he became interested in football after going to Italy to watch an extremely defensive and utilitarian game.

Mourinho immediately made gestures on the sidelines, trying his best to pacify the Chelsea generals who were already a little out of their wits at the moment, let them cheer up, and then continue to defend!

90 minutes of the game, there are about 15 minutes left.

Mourinho put his hands into his pockets, just to cover up his slightly trembling hands.

My heart was beating like thunder and pounding.

Mourinho kept telling himself: There is still a chance! There is still a chance! Can't lose at this time! Can not give up!

first half,

Chelsea is confident.

In the second half, Chelsea began to gradually panic after being dominated by Millwall and conceding a goal in the midfield.

but. From the perspective of overall strategy, Mourinho firmly believes that Chelsea still has an advantage that has not been activated. But that advantage needs to wait for a time node!

The 90-minute game is over!

Now the morale of the players in Millwall has been greatly improved, and the decline in physical fitness is not obvious. Originally, a 90-minute game started at about 75 minutes, that is, the physical fitness of the players reached the critical point, and for the peak duel, the physical consumption will be higher than usual. More!

When the critical point comes, players need to use their strong will, tenacious fighting spirit, winning and other inner qualities to force the mobilization of physical fitness, so that they can continue to persevere!

The rich teams scored more goals after 75 minutes and reversed the game more than ordinary teams. A big factor is that the inner quality of the players is more prominent than ordinary teams after 75 minutes!

Chelsea has a physical advantage, but this advantage is reflected in endurance, that is to say, it is impossible for Millwall's team to run behind Chelsea at the beginning. In that case, Millwall would have been finished long ago.

Only when a critical point of physical fitness comes, this advantage will be very obvious!

Millwall will fail before Chelsea!

If Millwall is an ordinary team, around 75 minutes is when this time point comes.

But Millwall's championship temperament, the team's strong will to fight, and the encouragement from falling behind to equalizing the score will prevent them from declining their physical fitness so quickly, but will go all out until the end of the 90-minute game!

Why Mourinho wants the team to keep the tie until the end of 90 minutes, hold on!

The physical advantage is the root cause, and at the same time, this is very similar to Aldridge's strategy when he led England to fight Brazil.

It is conceivable that at the end of the 90-minute game, the players will stop. It seems to be a rest, a buffer, and they should be able to recover their physical fitness.

However, the excitement level of the body declines rapidly, from excitement to calmness, it will become very difficult to restore the excitement level when the physical fitness continues to be weak!

At the same time, through such a rest time, it also disrupts the tacit rhythm of the Millwall team, that is, the rhythm returns to zero!

When playing against Brazil that year, England defended until the end of 90 minutes, which made Brazil, who had entered overtime, need to rediscover the tacit rhythm of the team and seized the opportunity to launch a fatal counterattack!

Today's Chelsea, under Mourinho's vision, he also needs such a situation!

As long as it enters extra time, Chelsea's advantage will be unprecedented. At that time, Mourinho is going to give Millwall a surprise. Chelsea will launch an all-out offensive and subvert the dominance of the Lions with a devastating running rhythm!

After Millwall equalized the score and re-kicked off, it was still Millwall who dominated the midfield to attack in positional battles. Chelsea really retreated this time.

No matter how unhappy Robben is, he must shrink back to defend, and he doesn't want to pass by his teammates and the Champions League trophy!

Aldridge continued to observe the situation on the sidelines.

Chelsea surrounded the goal circle after circle, and began to have unsightly fouls on the periphery, such as Robben's blatant pulling, and Drogba never rushed the ball and slammed into the opponent with hidden strength.

Aldridge looked down at the time on his watch, combined with the time on the scoreboard, the game had passed 80 minutes.

Boas came up from behind and asked Aldridge if he wanted to make a substitution. Aldridge didn't make a decision, but let the players on the bench continue to warm up. At 60 minutes in the second half, the substitute players went to warm up once.

When preparing for the game before the game, Millwall naturally analyzed what Chelsea's advantages are.

Mourinho was able to set his sights on extra time.

How could Aldridge ignore this key point?

If the game really enters overtime, Aldridge will not hesitate to let the team fully retreat to fight counterattack!

Because no matter how aggressively you attack, the risk is too great to bear!

But that was just a staged pre-deployment during the pre-match preparations. As for now, Aldridge will not consider overtime.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Mourinho not far away. The other party looked very calm, but through in-depth and careful observation of the clues, it seemed that the magic bird was a little frightened at this time.

Aldridge smiled and said silently: Mourinho, let's gamble again!

Through Chelsea's overall shrinking posture, Aldridge is at least sure that the opponent has an idea about overtime. Since the opponent wants overtime, Aldridge certainly cannot let him do so.

Although even in overtime, Aldridge will adjust his tactics to obliterate Chelsea's physical advantage, but now, he can still give it a go!

Taking advantage of the corner kick in the frontcourt, Aldridge shouted into the field: Bernd, Bernd! Come here!

Schneider trotted to Aldridge, his eyes kept looking at the opponent's half, paying attention to the team's corner kick. He didn't even look at Aldridge, but said: Boss, what are your orders?

After Aldridge said a few words to him, he patted him on the shoulder. Schneider never looked at Aldrich, listened, nodded, and trotted back.

After he went back, he conveyed Aldridge's request to De Rossi, and the next moment, a new attack point appeared on Millwall's offensive end!

De Rossi rushed to the front line, Kaka played a false center in the middle, and his position was delayed. De Rossi looked more like a center forward, but he was active in the front right of Kaka, which is the area to the right of the penalty area.

On the periphery, Schneider also went up, instigating high-altitude passes into the penalty area and threats of long-range firing from the outside.

Millwall's style of play suddenly changed and became high-handed!

Mourinho's expression has become very tense at the moment, and the scalps of Chelsea players are also numb.

They weren't sure if De Rossi entered the penalty area, he-damn-is he a shit-stirring stick!

In case De Rossi just interferes with their defense, Millwall's high play is just an illusion, and the real killer is the delicate penetration pass, then their defensive focus will be wrong!

Under such circumstances, the Chelsea players panicked even more. They frequently cleared the siege with big feet, and there was no way to talk about counterattacks. It seemed that they were going to hold on to the tie and enter overtime!

Time passed by every minute and every second, the atmosphere of the game became more and more tense, there were constant fouls on the field, and there were double-handed players.

It’s just that even if Chelsea get the set ball, the overall formation does not press forward. Before the counterattack, they will invest 3 people. Now when the set ball can attack forward, only Drogba and Robben step forward, Nesta, Silva , Alonso, plus the full-backs to help defend, Chelsea's offense will be directly stifled after halftime, and Peter Pan Robben will not work.

For Chelsea's posture of only defending but not attacking, the Stade de France sounded bursts of boos in the final period of the game.

These boos did not come from the Wild Lions fans, because the Wild Lions fans have long been used to Chelsea playing like this, and they are extremely contemptuous in their hearts. They are too lazy to boo their opponents. Instead of booing their opponents, they might as well cheer for their beloved team.

The boos came from neutral fans. Of course, a lot of neutral fans entered the stadium to watch this Champions League match.

The time on the scoreboard kept beating amid the cheering, shouting, singing and boos of the fans in the stadium.

89:58

89:59

90:00!

The score is still 2:2! (To be continued..)
