The Young Lion

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Chelsea conceded a goal.

Van Nistelrooy rushed towards the corner flag to pay tribute to the fans. It is rare to get a starting chance in such an important game. He was able to score a goal, and he was naturally overjoyed.

The Chelsea players walked back with a sullen face, planning to kick off immediately after the opponent's celebration was over.

The Chelsea fans in the stands were silent, as if they had been hit hard.

Wild Lions fans kept shouting.

Chelsea, come and thank us Wild Lions! We will give you a ticket to the European War! Hahahaha!

In fact, it is true. Millwall won the league championship. Regardless of whether Chelsea wins the FA Cup, they will eventually get a ticket to the European Cup Winners' Cup.

After scoring the goal, Aldridge stood up from his seat, smiled and applauded his disciples, and after he sat down, he turned to Jansen and said: Pavel and Henrik are both smart players. The awareness of playing the ball cultivated has reached the time to be effective, and Pavel’s threat to the goal is becoming more and more significant. It is difficult to define his role on the field. He starts in the midfielder position, but his range of activities covers the entire frontcourt He has a strong killer ability, and we will tap his potential in this aspect in the future.

Jansen replied with a smile: He has scored a lot of goals this season, what do you expect from him?

Aldridge shook his head and said, Many of his goals this season are long-range shots from the back, or to capture second offensive opportunities. In the future, he will get closer to the goal and directly grab points in front of the goal!

Jansen raised his eyebrows and said, I really hope he can stay here forever.

Aldridge was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly: If you don't bring up this kind of topic today, it's easy to make people feel bad.

After conceding a goal, Chelsea regrouped and played a half-court suppressing offensive for a period of time, but in the threat areas inside and outside the penalty area, Millwall's defense was very good.

At the end of the first half, Millwall in turn played a strong attack, but Chelsea was united, and after conceding a goal, they paid more attention to defense. Except for Larson's long shot near the penalty area that almost broke through the city, there were no other threatening shots.

At the end of halftime, the score on the field was 0:1. Chelsea is nominally home, so they are in front.

Aldridge arranged some tactics at halftime, and then ordered the players to keep their focus on the game.

second half,

The two sides changed sides and fought again.

The songs of the Millwall fans wafted from the stands, and now it was more of a lilting song they composed than a rock-and-roll anthem.

This song is at the end. Will repeat three times Millwall. Go Go Go.

So it's time for this rhythm. All Millwall fans will keep repeating this phrase: Millwall, Go Go!

This made their cheering in the stands very imposing, as if the lion king roared to the earth.

Gullit is not necessarily very good as a head coach, and he doesn't have many tricks. When the team is going smoothly, there are no problems, but the test of the ability of the team and the coach is to look at the changes in adversity.

In the first ten minutes of the second half, Chelsea's disadvantage became more obvious. They worked harder, but there was a lack of understanding among the players. Some players fought fiercely and had a fast pace, while others were steady. The rhythm is slow, which makes their cooperation frequently make mistakes.

And what about Millwall?

It's like a sophisticated machine, the whole team is operating at the same speed, even if they didn't play so aggressively today, their ability to seize opportunities by grasping the situation has been fully utilized.

Chelsea scramble for the fiercest man. It was Wise, their spiritual leader. This bad boy was already sweating profusely. He grabbed the ball whenever he saw it and ran tirelessly.

Perhaps among these players, he has the strongest sense of belonging to the team.

Twenty-six years!

Chelsea have not won any major titles for twenty-six years!

Today should have been the moment to end this record.

Can't lose.

Can't lose.

Can't lose!

Seeing that Glenshire was holding the ball with his back, Wise was chasing back. He was too eager to equalize the score for the team. He directly chose to shovel, and his feet left the ground!

The moment Glenshire took the ball, he saw Wise shoveling towards him. He was surprised and quickly dodged. In a hurry, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, just pressing down on Wise and the ball.

Wise immediately got up and wanted to grab the ball, but the ball was under Glenshire, and he kicked it with his feet...

Grass! Is this he-mother playing football?

Aldridge was drinking from a mineral water bottle, but when he saw this scene, he threw the mineral water bottle out, then rushed out and roared at the fourth official.

He has witnessed Neil being seriously injured with a shovel, so he is very sensitive to this kind of tackle. Unlike many top defenders who are master tacklers, some players are hot-headed and irregular in order to grab the ball. The idea of ​​legs to do this action, but may brew irreparable consequences!

The referee stopped the game, and Aldridge yelled at the referee directly from the sidelines: This is the FA Cup final! This is the image of English football! If you can't control the game and make a fair penalty , this he-mother is your disaster, you are the sinner of English football!

Although his words sounded uncomfortable to the referee team, they made sense.

Before the establishment of the Premier League, the influence of the FA Cup was higher than that of the League One!

Grenshall just stood up and sat down on the grass again. With his hands on the grass behind him, he looked at his left leg helplessly.

There were three cuts on it, and blood flowed down the calf, staining the white socks red.

Judging from his expression, it was just a trauma, scratched by Wise's spikes. Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise I really don't know if Millwall will have a player who has been shoveled into a serious injury for two consecutive years!

Wise hurriedly explained to the referee that his behavior was not intended to hurt others. He had just taken two steps when Southgate rushed up, pointed at him and yelled at him, then turned to put pressure on the referee.

Before the other Chelsea players came over, the referee had already shown Wise a red card!

The point is that his second move was too bad. Glenshire fell down due to avoidance, with the ball under his body. Wise also fell down, but stood up and kicked Glenshire under the stomach. This scene made it impossible for him to stay on the field anyway, and his sanity was clearly out of control.

Millwall's team doctor went to bandage Glenshire's wound. Although the team doctor had the power to provide advice, Glenshire insisted on continuing the game.

It's rare to start in the final, and Glenshire doesn't want to be replaced early.

Gullit and the Chelsea players protested to the referees, while Aldrich stood with his hands on his hips in the center circle with a cold face. After seeing that Glenciel stood up and naturally showed no signs of strong support, Aldridge The Wizards walked back to their seat and sat down.

In the box, Bates gritted his teeth with hatred, and yelled at Arthur endlessly: You bought the referee, right?!

Arthur was also furious. Yelled at him: You kicked yourself dirty. Are you still making excuses?

 …

After the storm subsides. The game restarted, Gullit replaced Hughes with Vialli, and the team formation became 441.

With less than half an hour left in the game, the team fell behind. And the number is still one less, Chelsea has no choice but to burn the boat.

The full-back is used as a winger, and the full-back is used as a full-back. Di Matteo in the center is completely restricted today. Chelsea can only rely on the performance of the two wings in the process of counterattack.

Millwall is no stranger to the scene of the army pressing down on the border.

They are experienced in many battles now, especially two days ago. In the end, Barcelona got four forwards desperately, and together with other offensive players, almost eight of them attacked after halftime. They all withstood the pressure, and the Chelsea players. In terms of personal ability and teamwork, there must be a huge gap with Barcelona. As long as Millwall does not underestimate the enemy in mentality and does not make mistakes, he will not give his opponent a chance.

Zola got the ball from the wing and wanted to pass Zambrotta. Zambrotta got stuck in his position. Unexpectedly, Zola, who was flexible, just wiped past Zambrotta, but he just passed Zambrotta. The special defense broke the ball, Zola hit Southgate's body and fell in the penalty area, all the Chelsea fans in the stands stood up and shouted for penalties!

The referee ignored it, and even raised his right hand to Zola, signaling him to get up.

The Wild Lions fans were full of disdain: the bantam hit Southgate by himself, and the ball has been cut off by Southgate. If it was a penalty, our striker would have a penalty every minute when he entered the penalty area. .

After Southgate steals the ball, he crosses to Erguera, Vialli pounces, and Erguera calmly passes the ball to Schneider on the right.

Schneider sent the ball forward with a long pass on the spot, and Chelsea’s defense was empty. Schneider originally played as a full-back. This season, he took over the position of right back after Thuram left the team. Comparability, but in offense, especially when switching from defense to offense, his overall view is simply amazing.

After the ball passed halftime, Van Nistelrooy stopped the ball in the chest and passed the ball to Glenshire who was running up at high speed to walk inside.

With only Leboeuf and Sinclair remaining in the defense, Chelsea's defense suddenly sounded the alarm again.

While retreating, Leboeuf consciously tried to block Grenshall's advancing route.

However, surprisingly, Glenshire did not dribble the ball forward after dribbling in from the right. Instead, he went diagonally to the center and took the ball all the way to the left.

Sinclair watched Ruud van Nistelrooy as he stepped back, distractedly marking Larson.

Larson ran from the original left all the way to the right at high speed.

When Grenshal came to the left side of the penalty area, Sinclair gave up Ruud van Nistelrooy to block Grenshal, and Leboeuf replaced him to mark Fanny.

When Larson, who had completed the crossover, entered from behind Ruud van Nistelrooy to the right side of the penalty area, Leboeuf obviously hesitated in his choice. At this moment, the ball leaped from the left side and passed the defense overhead.

Larson watched the ball arrive as expected, and before the ball hit the ground, he volleyed!

The goalkeeper didn't respond, and the ball went cleanly into the far corner of the goal!

Millwall are two goals ahead! Larsson, super goalscorer, his 52nd goal of the season! Two days ago he scored twice in Holland to help the team win the cup, and today he scored again, He's a big game player! Millwall's top scorer has had a fantastic season!

Larsson didn't celebrate after the goal, because he slowed down after the shot, walked in a strange posture, and limped.

Van Nistelrooy and Glenshire, the two players closest to him, were running towards him, but Larson smiled regretfully and made a substitution gesture towards Aldridge.

Oh, Larson is injured. He is Millwall's player with the most appearances this season. It is understandable that his body did not last until the end of the game. I hope his injury is not serious.

Aldrich's expression was slightly sad, and he thought to himself: The goal was too hard...

The Millwall fans all stood up and applauded Larsson, cheering the title of European top scorer.

Aldridge walked to the player's bench, and he had to decide to replace Larson with a striker.

Seeing the forward candidates on the bench, Aldridge couldn't help being happy.

Trezeguet was not included in the squad because he still has a national team task in the summer: the World Youth Championship.

Shevchenko sits on the bench and can hit the ball.

Neither Tony nor Phillips made the roster.

There is also a striker, Aldridge let him sit on the bench at first, just to let him feel the atmosphere.

But by mistake, now leading 2:0, and playing one more player, Aldridge intends to let this player go to the field to really experience it.

He walked up to the young man with a green face and big buck teeth, and said with a smile, Ronaldinho, go warm up. (m)
