The Young Lion

A year ago, Aldridge commented in an interview that Gullit had reached the end of his career and despised Fleet Street's pursuit of him, which caused dissatisfaction among Chelsea fans.

But Gullit really only played for Chelsea for one season. Chelsea's ranking has hardly changed from the previous season, and even fell into the lower half. After Gullit took office, the media naturally began to provoke the two.

In terms of professional age, Gullit and Aldrich are both young marshals. Aldridge started two years earlier than him, and he has already made some achievements. Poor, and the results are not bad, but compared with Millwall's complete victory in the past three months, it is not at the same level.

The Millwall fans still dismissed Chelsea, humiliated Chelsea as much as they could, and came to the stands of their arch-enemy with arrogance.

Aldridge has reduced the frequency of war of words this season, because the team is the leader, and on the cusp of the storm, it is the right way to avoid troubles and stabilize the morale of the internal army, and secondly, no one takes the initiative to provoke him.

Manchester United is at a critical stage of regrouping, and the Champions League is about to usher in the last group match. If Ferguson is clear-headed, he should let the team prepare for the game in a low-key manner, so as to avoid being the focus and increasing the pressure.

Although Wenger landed in North London, he is also busy remodeling the arsenal. He is also in the process of getting familiar with England. War of words? If the reporter didn't bother him, he would burn incense and thank God.

Roy Evans of Liverpool has always been Aldridge's defeated opponent, how can the defeated general speak bravely? He went to Aldridge to fight tantamount to humiliating himself.

Kevin Keegan, who was kicked out of the championship by Millwall last season, was in dire straits and bought Shearer. But the defense is still a mess, and his time at St James' Park is already starting to look rough.

The number one rival, West Ham United, has entered a state of relegation since the beginning of the league. Lao Lei will not start a war unless he is crazy. He only asks Aldridge to show mercy before the East London Derby this season.

As for Gullit, he is a superstar among the players and a gravel in the coaching world. Before he has proved himself, he dare not challenge Aldridge without shame.

In this chaotic and eventful autumn of the Premier League, each family has its own troubles, and no one wants to jump out and provoke Millwall. Most of them have no strength, and a small number of capable ones are afraid of being beaten. If the point gap between Manchester United and Liverpool can be narrowed, perhaps the psychological warfare has already begun. Unfortunately, their own teams are also in turmoil.

Aldridge was unwilling to comment on Chelsea at the pre-match press conference, and he said three words perfunctorily when asked: so-so.

attack?

so so.

defense?

so so.

Is football style sexy?

so so.

Gullit?

so so.

Di Matteo?

so so.

Vialli?

so so......

Chelsea is in an average ranking, the number of goals scored. The number of goals conceded is also at the average level.

Aldridge felt that his evaluation was very pertinent, but after being misinterpreted, it turned into contempt.

Gullit's response did not dare to go too far: Hall's coaching performance is indeed excellent, but he should have more respect for Chelsea. It is not his turn to judge my players.

If it wasn't for the reporter's question, Aldridge wouldn't bother to say it.

Besides. He felt that he had enough respect for Chelsea.

Our two are sworn enemies!

If I don't step on you, I respect you.

Stamford Bridge, sunny and sunny.

Aldridge appeared in front of the coach of the visiting team, looked around and chose to sit down.

Gullit also sat with the coaching staff in sportswear.

Players from both sides started to play.

When the commentator introduced the starting lineup of both sides, there was a burst of singing in the stands.

Most of the originally quiet stands were fans of the Blues, but there were less than 4,000 Wild Lions fans here today.

But they converged in the away stands. The Roar fans led by Brady were deployed before the game, and they began to sing loudly when they arrived here.

Aldridge glanced at the visiting team fans stands. There are all kinds of cheering slogans gathered there, which is commonplace.

But what was the song they sang in unison?

Aldridge frowned slightly, listening to the obscene lyrics in that song, this is so fucking vulgar and tasteless, right?

It is normal for fans in the stands to humiliate each other and make up songs.

But each other also has a bottom line. Fans who do not keep the bottom line will hurt the club. For example, Bolton fans made a plane crash when they played against Manchester United after the Munich air crash. This directly made Bolton a target of public criticism. They are so energetic that it even makes it difficult for them to sign players.

The song that the Millwall fans sang today is really unbearable.

What puzzled Aldridge was that the lyrics had nothing to do with Chelsea.

Did you come to Stamford Bridge to show off the rascals?

He didn't notice that Gullit's expression next door was frighteningly gloomy, and his mouth moved as if he was grinding his teeth.

Materazzi and Zambrotta on the bench laughed.

Aldridge saw the expressions of the two players and asked, What are you laughing at?

Materazzi pointed to the visiting team stand, and Zambrotta also looked there and raised his eyebrows.

What do you mean? What's so funny about that?

A nasty and obscene song, Aldridge didn't find it funny.

Materazzi said loudly with a smile: Boss, this song was sung by Chelsea coach Mr. Gullit before.

Aldrich was taken aback for a moment, this vulgar pornographic song was sung by Braid Shuai next door?

Materazzi continued with a smile: A few years ago he joined an unpopular band and covered many of these songs as a bass player. For a while in Italy, everyone thought he was disgusting. What was the name of the album? I forgot.

It's called n-me.

Gianluca Gianluca immediately added.

Aldridge, like other coaches and players, covered his forehead and laughed.

Braid handsome, who relies on his talent and wildness, is really different. so cool.

This makes sense, the Millwall fans dared to directly humiliate the opposing coach today.

After Aldridge laughed, he looked at Chelsea's starting lineup.

Even though Gullit has two forwards Vialli and Zola in his hands. But in the Chelsea lineup, the unshakable striker is a veteran, the Welsh King Mark Hughes of the last era, and today he is partnered with Vialli.

The core of the midfield organization is Di Matteo, with Chelsea's spiritual leader Wise, and the addition of Leboeuf in the defense has also strengthened the team's defense.

Although Chelsea's international team building route is later than that of Millwall, they have pulled out a team anyway, and they are well-known if they want to be famous. It is by no means comparable to the world garbage United like West Ham United.

But how well the 11 players play together has to be seen on the court.

At the start of the game, the two sides immediately opened their posture, and the rhythm of the game was very fast from the first second.

Chelsea's strength has increased this year, a new coach has taken office, the players are high-spirited, and there are tough guys and villains in the team. There are also stars, so naturally they will not be afraid of Millwall, who has won 14 consecutive league victories.

After the opening, Chelsea's oppressive style of play made Millwall really uncomfortable. After all, it was the opponent's home court, and the players entered the state slower than the home team. This is all normal.

The game started off very tight.

Under the pressure of Wise and Di Matteo, Pirlo's organization was not smooth, occasionally penetrating the ball and hitting it from the middle. The sweeper Lebouf was able to make a heroic clearance, but the action seemed a bit big, but the fans in the stands liked it. Actions. The sound of cheering came one after another.

In the opening 20 minutes, Millwall had almost no good chances.

But Chelsea didn't take advantage of it either. Di Matteo, who is doing technical work in the midfield, did not perform well under the two-line pinch of Nedved and Pirlo. The route of the ball is always predicted, even Schneider, who is still honing his defensive skills. , On the right side, it is also possible to grab the position in advance by observing the situation on the field to resolve the opponent's pass and penetration.

Benitez said to Aldridge: Pirlo did not perform well today.

He was intimidated by Wise. That's a crafty bad boy.

Send Nedved back?

No, I wanted to see if he could adjust himself. It seems that he still needs to mention something.

Aldridge stood up from his seat, just as Vialli was knocked to the ground by Stam during the scramble and needed the team doctor to enter the field to check the injury, so he called Pirlo to the front.

Andrea, for ten minutes, all offenses will be on the left side, and after ten minutes, they will be on the right side. Do you understand?

Pirlo didn't quite understand and asked back: What if there is no good route for the ball on the left?

Do as I say, and you'll understand in ten minutes.

Pirlo nodded without asking any more questions, and began to carry out Aldrich's instructions.

Millwall has more time to control the ball, and although Chelsea grabbed the ball fiercely, the formation was not chaotic, so Pirlo's previous balls were all at the feet of Nedved in the center, because the space was slightly larger, and because the opponent had a Leboeuf, who is good at playing sweepers, exists, but he is not afraid of penetrating balls in front of the penalty area.

As the midfield commander, Pirlo began to frequently send the ball to the left, which made Millwall's offense tilt to the left, and Chelsea's defensive formation naturally began to compress to this side.

Capdevila, Larsson, and Nedved, under the command of Pirlo, Millwall stormed the left and played wave after wave of efficient attacks.

It's a pity that several shots came close to the goal.

Within ten minutes, Pirlo understood Aldridge's intentions.

Originally, the formation on the field was balanced, and Pirlo would only look for empty space in the static space.

But when Millwall's offensive focus is frequently concentrated on one side, the opponent will automatically adjust due to disadvantages, and inadvertently, a defensive loophole on the other side appears.

In the thirty-sixth minute of the first half, Pirlo once again took the ball in the left area of ​​the midfield. Chelsea's defensive formation was set up, and it was obvious that they were staring at this side.

Pirlo made a long diagonal pass on the spot and unexpectedly passed the ball to the front right wing.

Schneider, who has been playing as a full-back for the past two years, has long been familiar with Millwall's offense. When the space in front appeared, he rushed forward with ease, and the combination of passing and running was very good.

Steadily parked the ball in front of him, Schneider picked a pass forward, and Shevchenko was unmarked on the edge of the penalty area. He took a step forward with the ball and then took a shot. The ball stuck to the ground and went into the goal. far corner.

The previous wave after wave of offensives ended without a problem, and Pirlo himself felt a little powerless. He thought it was because of how good the opponent's defense was, but in fact he hadn't discovered his potential yet!

Looking at the teammates celebrating in front of him, Pirlo smiled. Although he still needs more practice to improve himself, he has begun to enjoy the role he plays in the team, and the feeling of strategizing is awesome! (To be continued.
