The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves, Senior Fat Boy and for their rewards!

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

After many years of continuous investment, Chelsea has been listed as a part of the championship group since this season. Although it is the bottom of the popular teams, as the league is about to enter the halfway point, people are beginning to realize that Bei His investment gradually paid off.

Chelsea won the European Cup Winners' Cup last season. Once this championship is won, the team's temperament will be different immediately. With the addition of players like Desailly who have just won the World Cup, Chelsea seems to be a rich and handsome man from the beginning. on the road.

The competition for the first group in the Premier League standings is fierce.

Millwall has slipped to fourth place in the standings following a draw in the league after the European War.

But they are only 2 points away from first-placed Chelsea, and only 1 away from Manchester United and Arsenal.

Chelsea fans began to exhale and raise their eyebrows. They have reached the top of the standings. The goal now is to secure this position and keep it until the end of the season. If possible, they would prefer that the Premier League end now.

After noon, there was a huge crowd of people outside Stamford Bridge. Millwall fans and Chelsea fans confronted each other.

Chelsea fans chanting: Look who is the leader now?

Millwall fans hit back: Has Chelsea beaten Millwall in the past three seasons?

In fact, the fans on both sides are very depressed.

Chelsea fans get poked in the soft spot, damn it. They beat Manchester United. Killed Arsenal. Having defeated Liverpool, but he-mother just never got cheap from the Wild Lions, not to mention winning, even a draw seems extremely difficult.

Millwall fans have to admit that Chelsea now has the capital to compete in the Premier League. After 13 rounds of the league, the opponent can occupy the top position, which in itself is enough to explain the problem.

Even Aldridge, the king in their hearts, said frankly at the pre-match press conference: Chelsea is very strong! Very strong!

This baffled the reporters.

right?

Just three months ago,

In the European Super Cup, Aldridge is clearly another way of saying it.

At the time he belittled Chelsea. He also despises the opponent, thinking that the Premier League championship has nothing to do with Chelsea.

Three months later, the young marshal's face was a little red, was he beaten by Chelsea?

The reporters don’t think so. There are still 25 rounds left in the league. It’s useless for Chelsea to be at the top of the list. The gap with the next four teams is only one goal. Even Leeds United can overtake within one goal. them.

Reminiscent of the psychological tactics used by Aldridge when Millwall just double-killed the Austrian champion Graz in the middle of the week, the outside world agreed that Aldridge still used the tried-and-tested aggressive method.

The difference is to irritate the other party. Now, he is using attention. Praise and kill each other.

Didn't Chelsea just want to be recognized by the outside world?

The new Champions League champion Millwall and the arch-enemy admit that you are very strong. At Stamford Bridge, does Chelsea have the nerve to play conservatively?

After hearing Aldridge's remarks, Vialli pointed out bluntly: Hall is good at psychological warfare. His purpose is well known to passers-by. He wants to mess Chelsea up. We will not be fooled!

Before the start of the game, when Aldridge walked out of the player tunnel with his hands in the pockets of his slim coat and walked silently towards the coaching bench of the away team, the Chelsea fans in the nearby stands lashed out at him, booing, yelling, roaring, middle fingering... ...no one tried to attack him, the consequences would be serious after all.

After Millwall and Wimbledon were investigated by the Football Association for stadium safety issues, the Premier League set off another wave of stadium safety sweeps. Fans watching the game can insult and taunt their opponents in the stands, but they cannot have physical contact. If the opponent suffers physical assault, the FA's fine will be super heavy!

With the obscene words greeting the whole family lingering in his ears, Aldrich looked normal.

Stepping steadily to the open space in front of the coach's bench, Aldridge half-turned to face the court, pulled his hands out of his pockets, crossed them on his chest, and stared at Stamford Bridge indifferently.

The fourteenth round of the Premier League focus battle is about to start. Hello everyone, I am Martin Taylor. I will explain this battle between the dead in London with my friend Andy Gray. Andy, who do you like?

Chelsea has gained momentum since the new season. They have climbed to the top of the standings, but I am still optimistic about Millwall.

Why? Hall's team performed unsatisfactorily after every European war. They either won with difficulty or got a draw. Although they have not lost at the beginning of the new season, their performance is not as good as everyone expected. Hall declared that Competing for the league championship, but they obviously didn't show the momentum that the winners should have, and they always lose points on the underdogs but they can't win the league championship.

I don't really agree with your statement. Hall's team has undergone a big change in the new season. Many newcomers have become the main force. It is normal for their state to fluctuate. In addition, they will play the Champions League and play two games in four days. It is a severe test for the team, but I think the positive factor is that although they have only played in the Champions League a few days ago, the team is playing at Wembley. At the same time, Hall rested most of the main players for today's game. They will not be affected by the two-lane battle today, and there is a trend that we should be aware of. It takes time for Hall to train the team. I think this Millwall team is on the rise now. If they do it before March next year To be able to stabilize performance at a high level, Millwall will enter a stage of full blown.

That's about three or four months later, but what about today's game?

This will test Hall's ability, but it seems that there is no need to worry too much about it. He always surprises us at such moments.

So what stance do you think Millwall will take today?

Let's counterattack defensively. After all, Chelsea has become strong, and it's an away game. Millwall strives not to lose the ball. When Chelsea can't attack for a long time, it will expose the loopholes in the defense. Millwall is also good at situations with wide spaces. Fight back.

Hehe, Millwall beat Chelsea in this way before, it seems that Hall is going to repeat the old trick.

Players from both sides appear on the field.

Chelsea started today at 442.

Goalkeeper: De Houer.

Defenders: Freire, Desailly, Leboeuf, Le Saux.

Midfielders: Petrescu, Di Matteo. Poyet, Wise.

Forwards: Flo, Zola.

Millwall started today at 4231.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfield: Makelele, Lampard, Nedved.

Forwards: Henry, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldinho.

The French striker Henry, who Millwall bought for £10 million in the summer, finally ushered in his first start. He had a brief break off the bench in midweek and was lackluster. Hall let him start today's game. I don't know if this striker will surprise people.

Under the tense gaze of 40,000 fans at Stamford Bridge, the London derby began.

Vialli stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. Chelsea occupied the top spot in the standings. He was naturally proud of himself. He glanced at Aldridge not far away, and Vialli thought: I will not be fooled again!

In Vialli's memory, the most impressive thing about him is his first game in charge. In the League Cup final last season, he played but failed to help the team win. In addition, he lost the European Super Cup before the season. , Vialli was very unconvinced. His team lost to Millwall in the final twice, both of which were lost to the opponent's counterattack.

Isn't Millwall just the three axes?

Counterattack, speed, forward penetration.

Today Chelsea focuses on stability!

Millwall, who had promised to win the Premier League before the season, is now ranked fourth in the standings, and they should be anxious!

Vialli's tactical purpose today is very clear. It's up to Millwall to see who can afford it. If the opponent wants to fight back, let's see who can't hold back first.

Under static defense, Chelsea's defense will not be easily penetrated.

But at the beginning of the game, Vialli suddenly felt caught off guard.

Is Millwall conservative today?

not at all!

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Millwall's players were more like beasts in clothes, and they launched a crazy press in the midfield.

Chelsea predicted before the game that Millwall would play a defensive counterattack, which was a complete miscalculation.

Lampard and Nedved entangled the opponent's two midfielders. Behind him, Makelele cut the connection between the opponent's striker and midfielder. Ronaldinho and Henry double-teamed the opponent's side with the full-back As a winger, such a high-pressure press is very risky, because once the opponent passes the ball to the striker, it will be a striker-backline situation, and teammates may not even have time to cover.

But Chelsea did not expect the opponent to rob so fiercely, and was caught off guard all of a sudden. The midfielder couldn't control the ball and had to pass back. Ruud van Nistelrooy harassed the opponent's defense and forced the opponent to play. The ball was cleared. In the midfield, Makelele stopped the ball in front of Zola, and then passed it straight to Ronaldinho in the frontcourt.

Ronaldinho dribbled the ball inside, and then cooperated with Nedved in a two-on-one match. He broke through the opponent's midfielder and faced the opponent's back line. Passing to the right, Henry also pressed into the middle. After Lebouf went to mark Fanny, Henry dribbled the ball directly from the ribs into the penalty area.

He took the ball to the top corner of the small penalty area, and he already had a chance to shoot. Desailly moved over to press close, Henry knocked back in the middle, and Nedved, who was facing the ball, did not stop the ball. Heavy shelling of the door.

Chelsea, who were completely defensive in the middle, had nothing to do with this shot.

De Huye fell to the ground and threw the ball, but the force was too great, and the ball was deflected and flew into the goal.

In the first three minutes, Millwall opened the scoring as a guest! The goal was their spiritual leader Nedved! Unexpected, too unexpected, who said Millwall would play conservatively? Their opening posture was extremely aggressive, Such a high-pressure press tactic is risky. Once the defense is partially torn apart by the opponent, the defense may face the danger of playing more with less, but Millwall's adventurous spirit has been rewarded. Chelsea is very uncomfortable with the madness of the opponent. Pressing, after clearing the siege and giving the ball to the opponent, Millwall immediately penetrated the goal through teamwork. Millwall leads 1-0 away!

The Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge looked numb, and even many fans showed sadness on their faces.

For some reason, they just have a sense of powerlessness, or hopelessness.

Their mortal enemy, Millwall, those 11 mortal enemy players on the field, how can they look like players?

It's more like a ghost who wants to kill his soul!

Standing on the sidelines with his chin up and smiling, Aldridge was more like a mourner sounding the death knell.

Many Chelsea fans have a thought in their hearts that they don't want to face: Damn Wild Lions, when and how can we beat them! (To be continued..)
