The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

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

After the intermission, the two teams returned to the field to prepare for kick-off.

Aldridge walked back to the position in front of the coach's bench and stood in charge of the battle.

This is a gesture. He can sit down when playing against other teams, but when playing against Chelsea, especially Chelsea, which occupies the top position in the standings, he must send a signal to the players and fans: an attitude towards the game!

Although his sitting does not necessarily mean that he despises anyone, but he stands on the sidelines and watches the game seriously, which is a powerful gesture.

After the start of the second half, Millwall still shrunk and fought back, while Chelsea watched for a while.

After five minutes of the game, Chelsea made sure that Millwall was not pressing wildly, and they began to organize the attack patiently.

Vialli looked nervous on the sidelines. He was thinking about countermeasures. Millwall's defense was very solid. After shrinking, Chelsea played less and played more. Once the space was compressed by the opponent in a small area, they would quickly lose the ball.

After being hit on the counterattack, his own goal was in turmoil.

Aldridge was a bit disappointed on the sidelines, Lampard always dissatisfied with his choice of ball when switching from defense to offense.

He was used to Pirlo pointing at where to hit and hitting his opponent seven inches to the death. When he saw that Lampard's choice of timing and line selection for the ball was not optimal, he couldn't help it. Disappointment rose from the bottom of my heart.

This feeling made him think in a good direction, that is: let Barak go without regret.

Now that there is Lampard, play the role of midfield organizer. There is no need to pile up so many people.

This difference in player level is even more pronounced in counter-attacking.

If the ball is delayed for a second, the single-handed ball may become a semi-single-handed ball.

The route is not optimal. If you can't threaten the opponent's goal most directly, maybe the semi-single-handed battle will become a positional battle.

But it is undeniable that Lampard has grown well enough, at least the success rate of passing the ball has reached a satisfactory level, what he needs to improve in the next stage is the overall situation and game reading ability, and when to insert it. When to retreat for a deeper defense, when to fill up,

When to Pass the Ball Instead of Passing…

If Chelsea want to break through Millwall's defense in a positional battle, they must invest more offensive forces, so the full-backs began to plug in.

But they didn't dare to let two full-backs plug in at the same time, so they could only step forward to assist on one side.

Freire repeated his old tricks, he stepped up and made a one-two with Petrescu, passing Ronaldinho. But Gianluca Zambrotta consciously pressed forward, and when Petrescu was about to turn around after receiving the ball, he accurately intercepted the ball, and then passed it straight to Ronaldinho.

After getting the ball, Ronaldinho made a fake move on the spot, pretending to go outside, and then dribbled the ball laterally away from Freire, followed by a diagonal pass to find Nedved.

Nedved made a short pass to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who retreated in front, and Ruud van Nistelrooy knocked the ball back to Ronaldinho, who stopped the ball. After Ronaldinho stopped the ball, he sent an over-the-top cross into the penalty area. Henry slapped his horse and rushed to the direct header Goal. The ball misses the post slightly.

Henry folded his hands and covered his mouth, regretting wasting this golden opportunity, and then he gave little Robbie a thumbs up.

De Houye quickly set up the goal kick. Kicking the ball to Desailly, Chelsea launched a fast break.

Chelsea's fast break until the penalty area was very pleasing to the eye. They advanced quickly from the backcourt. Along the way, the players cooperated tacitly and used wall kicks to tear apart Millwall's defense.

In front of the penalty area, when facing Millwall's back line for the last time. Wise kicked the ball to Flo, who took the ball with his back. Materazzi didn't give the opponent a chance to turn around, and Flo returned the ball to Poyet who was plugging in later.

Makelele gave up Di Matteo and went to intercept Poyet. Lampard was attracted by Wise, but there was an obvious error in Millwall's defense. Schneider had shrunk to defend Wise. Lampard Germany is considered a pincer attack, but it leaves a little space in the middle.

Poyet faced the ball and raised his foot to shoot.

A meteor-like trajectory appeared in the eyes of the audience.

Bout flew to the end but failed to touch the ball. This ball can obliterate all goalkeepers and hit the dead corner of the goal. The world wave!

Poyet's world wave! World wave! Chelsea pulled one back in the 58th minute of the second half. Now the score is 2:3, Chelsea are only one goal behind! This goal is extremely wonderful. Starting from the backcourt, Chelsea passed a series of short shots. The pass cooperated to hit the offense to the front of the penalty area. Poyet's long shot pierced Bute's ten fingers. This ball was impossible for anyone to save. This is comparable to Ronaldinho's goal in the first half This round, no, the best goal of the Premier League of the year!

Poyet's goal ignited the passion at Stamford Bridge, and the Chelsea fans stood up and cheered, as if the soul that had been taken out of the body in the first half returned to the body, giving them a new lease of life.

Chelsea fans waved their fists, clamoring for the team to work harder, work harder!

Vialli was also infected by the atmosphere of the stadium and Poyet's goal, or he got a chance to release his emotions.

Facing a powerful opponent like Millwall, no one can imagine his pressure.

Vialli jumped up, raised his arms and yelled, then applauded the players, and let the players quickly return to their positions with excitement.

Great reversal!

Vialli paid tribute to the stands at the end, letting the fans encourage the players more violently!

Aldridge put his hands on his hips and smiled wryly after losing the ball.

Not convinced!

Millwall couldn't even score a header from close range, and the opponent kicked the world wave outside the penalty area to make you speechless.

Give Poyet ten more shots from the same position, and he may not be able to score this goal, but this time he-damn scored!

As for how sharp Chelsea's previous series of cooperation was, Aldridge didn't think so, let Chelsea try to develop into the penalty area again, do they have the deadliest through ball? Are there any breakthroughs in the threat area?

Being scored in the world wave is the most helpless thing for the head coach.

Not even a gap to vent.

Blame the Millwall players?

No team can completely block the first 35 yards of the penalty area, and long-range shots must be helpless. If you are sure to get closer to the goal and then shoot, who will shoot from a long distance?

But after losing the ball with emotion. Aldridge quickly adjusted, he replaced Van Nistelrooy with Van der Meyde.

After this substitution appeared, the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge suddenly became angry.

Millwall sucks!

It does seem to be the case, with a striker removed and a winger replaced.

Millwall's formation changed from 433 to 451 or 442. At least it must be 451 when defending. After all, Nedved's ability to run up and down is too strong.

Vialli's expression has become a little ferocious at the moment, he is full of confidence in the reversal, and the Chelsea soldiers are also filled with infinite confidence.

Aldridge regained his composure on the sidelines.

His substitution was a signal, no need for him to gesture to the players.

The time for the second goal was really rushed.

After the re-kick-off of the game, it has come to the 60th minute of full time.

Aldridge thought to himself: In the last 30 minutes, let's fight hard!

When Millwall kicked off, Chelsea players frantically went up and Frere stole the ball from Ronaldinho's feet. Immediately launched a fast break. Unfortunately, after seeing the hope of equalizing, they played a bit risky instead. The long pass from the ground wanted to penetrate Millwall's defense zone. It was simply whimsical. Makelele intercepted the opponent's pass and then passed the ball Passed to Lampard, who almost closed his eyes and transferred the ball to Van der Meyde's feet on the other side.

Henry, who moved from the winger to the center position, took the ball open, and Van der Meyde cooperated with him. After two to one, the ball was handed to Nedved who came to the front of the penalty area. The Czech made a long shot and was saved horizontally by De Huye.

Chelsea are ambitious to stage a comeback at Stamford Bridge, but when they have the ball to attack. Suddenly, it was discovered that Millwall's tactics had changed again.

The High Pressure Press is back!

That's right, Millwall's tactical strategy today is to exert force in the first 30 minutes and the last 30 minutes of the game, and consume the opponent in the middle.

Aldridge's thought before the game was: as long as the goal is not conceded, Chelsea will definitely not be satisfied with a draw as long as the time goes by, then it is the last 30 minutes. The opponent will play more risky, and Millwall's high-pressure press will be more threatening than the first 30 minutes.

As a result, his idea was not realized in the game, but the reality was better than expected.

Millwall conceded a goal, but scored more. Now that Chelsea is one goal behind and eager to equalize the score, they will not be as patient when organizing the attack as they were when the tie was held, so the turnover rate will also be greatly increased.

Coupled with Millwall's crazy pressing, they suddenly fell into a panic.

The ambition to equalize the score has not yet been realized, but their own defense is crumbling.

Vialli watched anxiously from the sidelines, and the Chelsea fans in the stands were also worried.

How did it happen?

He obviously pulled back two goals, and the opponent also removed a striker, so why was he beaten by the opponent again!

Millwall began to suppress the opponent's attack from the 70th minute of the game. Chelsea did not even dare to pass the ball in the backcourt, for fear of being intercepted by the opponent and then directly launching a second attack to penetrate the defense.

But their big foot clearance was controlled by Millwall's defense, and they quickly launched a fast break.

The layering of Millwall's offense is very clear. It is relying on the consistent regional positioning of the team to cut Chelsea's formation layer by layer, so as to force the opponent to dare not pass the ball in a small range when pressing high pressure.

It cannot be said that Henry can't find the feeling in the center forward position, but moving to the center forward is a bit unsatisfactory. Even when he gets a chance to hit the goal, he is not up to standard, and the hasty kick seems to lack confidence.

But the performance of players in other positions is very reassuring.

Millwall accumulated advantages, constantly oppressing and challenging the nerves of Chelsea players, threatening the opponent's goal after consecutive successful presses, and the offensive wave after wave.

In the 84th minute of the game, Ronaldinho took the ball to the middle and crossed it to Van der Meyde, who made a pass.

The Chelsea player hit the ball, but the clearance was not far away. Lampard, who ran in behind, rushed forward in front of Di Matteo, stopped the ball with his chest, unloaded the ball, and then handed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho Looking at the six directions, he kicked a pass to the right rib of the penalty area.

With the ball behind the top, Le Saux, who guards the left side of Chelsea, stared at Van der Meyde. The opponent did move forward before Ronaldinho passed the ball, which attracted Le Saux's defense.

However, it was faster to kill a man from behind Van der Meyer. Le Saux did not expect Schneider to assist and enter the penalty area. Then with a cross pass, Henry outflanked in place this time and pushed the ball into the goal!

Millwall completely suppressed Chelsea in the second half of the game. They scored again and the gap between the two teams was back to two goals. Henry! He performed very well today, with one goal and two assists, Hall can sleep soundly, 10 million pounds is worth it!

Henry was very excited after scoring. This was not only his first Premier League goal, but also his first goal for Millwall.

If he hadn't wasted two golden opportunities before, he would have scored a goal long ago!

Aldridge smiled and applauded on the sidelines, while Vialli, who was not far from him, looked numb.

When he and Chelsea saw the brightest dawn, Millwall covered their sky like a devil, and then five thunders struck the top, knocking them down into the abyss of despair. ()
