Thank you Thieves for your reward!

The new Premier League season that all Premier League fans have been looking forward to is about to kick off. The defending champion Millwall ushered in a tough battle in the first round of the league, full of booing.

A London derby between bitter rivals.

Chelsea v Millwall.

Before going to Stamford Bridge, Aldridge's pre-match interviews were flat. With his current level, there is no need to shout at Chelsea. On the contrary, it is enough for him to stimulate his opponent lightly.

Chelsea must first stabilize the internal morale. I don't know what happened in their dressing room, but judging from the information disclosed by the media, their troubles last season have not been resolved. Well, I always think that if a team cannot be stable internally , then it is impossible to talk about how strong the overall combat effectiveness will be, as for the superposition of the individual abilities of the players, it is very hypocritical.

Vialli responded, warning Aldridge to keep his mouth shut: Chelsea, it's not your turn to worry!

Aldridge led the team as a guest at Stamford Bridge. Although Chelsea has signed in year after year, and some of the players who have signed in can directly enter the main lineup, there is a problem with it: running-in.

Every season, a new lineup needs to be adjusted. If it is a role player in a non-core position, this adjustment may not have much impact, but for the main forward, midfielder and other positions, this adjustment is extremely important and affects the degree of the game. Very big.

This year they sold Sutton, Hasselbaink replaced, Wise, Poyet and others are also getting older.

Playing against such a Chelsea team, Aldridge believes that the opponent's strength has dropped a lot.

Vialli didn't know if he was under too much pressure. When he played Millwall at home, he dared to play in the front three!

Zola, Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen!

Aldridge accepted the gift with a smile, and turned away from the host at Stamford Bridge. The midfielder wins the world. Millwall led by two goals in the first half. Chelsea have many forwards, but they are basically invisible.

Vialli changed to 451 in the second half. Withdrew the two forwards, replaced the two midfielders, and strangled wildly in the midfield.

Aldridge was originally complacent and greeted a good start to the new season with joy. As a result, at the end of the game, he left Stamford Bridge with a black face and did not shake Vialli. He even missed the post-match interview.

Nedved is injured!

seriously injured!

Ronaldinho was also slightly injured. The former team doctor did not give a first diagnosis. Obviously the injury is not optimistic. Ronaldinho will have a month's truce.

In the second half of Chelsea, 10 engineers swept the field. Obviously lost in a hurry.

After receiving a symbolic penalty from the FA the next day, Aldridge spoke to the media.

This is Chelsea, I'm not surprised.

In a simple sentence, full of Aldrich, it represents the contempt of the mad lion to the sworn enemy.

In the past six years, Nedved has had a very high attendance rate and has rarely been troubled by injuries. This time, we will be away from the game for 5 months!

The fastest, and it will not be able to come back until January next year, which is an obvious blow to Millwall.

At the same time, another explosive news came out of Chelsea.

On the third day after Chelsea lost to Millwall 0:2, Chelsea officially announced that Vialli was fired!

Bates couldn't stand it, and Chelsea fans probably couldn't stand it either. Last season plus the new season, Chelsea lost two consecutive official games to the same opponent. The previous game lost the FA Cup champion, and the latter lost the new season opener at home.

Hoddle, Gullit. Vialli, Chelsea and Millwall have played against Millwall for five years in the Premier League. The three coaches have failed to achieve the result most fans want: defeating Aldridge!

If there is no feeling of a mortal enemy, Chelsea fans will be relieved and will not be difficult to accept. After all, the current Millwall has expanded the league's unbeaten games to 49 games!

In the battle record, Chelsea is not the only one who is absolutely at a disadvantage.

Just after Vialli dismissed get out of class, Bates invited the tinkerer Ranieri to take over. This good old man will shoulder the heavy responsibility of reorganizing Chelsea and rebuilding. After all, Chelsea's lineup is indeed too old. Who let them In the past, the signings were mainly famous players. Who would like to come to Chelsea for famous players in their prime? I was not young when I came here, and after two or three years of service, replacement is inevitable.

The injuries of Nedved and Ronaldinho have plunged Millwall into a gloomy situation after the start of the new season, and people are guessing who will replace them.

In the second round of the Premier League, in Millwall's home game against Leicester City, Aldridge unexpectedly used Miroslav Klose as the attacking midfielder, and it was not surprising that Glenn Shire replaced Ronaldinho.

At the Lion King Stadium, Leicester City, which has changed coaches and lost two forwards in the new season, was defeated by Millwall.

After 90 minutes, all Wild Lions fans firmly believe that even if Ronaldinho and Nedved are away from the game due to injuries, their team can still be invincible on the field.

6:0.

A massacre score seems to have dispelled all doubts, Henry's hat-trick also announced that he quickly entered the state in the new season.

Larsson, Klose, and Materazzi each scored a goal, and everything seemed better than expected.

Millwall, who has won two consecutive victories in the new season, has made Fleet Street panic.

According to this trend, the Premier League may end halfway and there will be no suspense!

Major professional football critics have given advice to the Premier League teams, and everyone is studying Millwall's tactics and discussing countermeasures to restrain them.

In the end, I really came up with a set of methods that seemed to make sense.

Liverpool star Alan Hansen published in his column titled: How to improve the odds of winning against Millwall. such articles.

Football games are unpredictable, and sometimes there are no rules to be found. Different players and different teams naturally cannot apply a tactical design. Therefore, Hansen only made targeted suggestions on a large scale.

First, you can only arrange one striker at most!

The reason is simple. If you arrange two or more forwards, then your midfielders will be short of manpower. The British 442 formation is completely unable to compete with Millwall in the midfield. Is Manchester United's midfield strong? ? The results of it?

Second, in midfield, you need at least two full-time defensive players.

While the number of midfielders does not fall behind, the defensive strategy must arrange for a defensive player to flexibly follow Millwall's hidden offensive points and then plug in. Especially when your frontcourt players cannot return in time to limit Millwall's playmaker Pirlo, a defensive midfielder will mark Millwall's attacking midfielder, and a defensive midfielder will quickly resolve the opponent's penetration Impact on offensive players.

Third, the defensive discipline and tacit understanding of the back line.

We have seen Millwall's attack break through the opponent's defense countless times. Most of these are defensive players who are out of position when responding to fast breaks, or are too far away from their teammates to create defensive gaps. Millwall's teamwork ability to penetrate and pass is the world's top, so your four or five A defender must have a tacit understanding and discipline in defense, calmly judge the situation on the field, and don't lose his position just because the opponent's offense advances to a dangerous zone.

 …

Aldridge also read this article, and finally he found that the suggestions of various celebrities were actually telling other Premier League teams in a cryptic way: put on a big bag and siege wildly in the midfield.

A group of sappers can at least increase your chances of not losing!

As for how to win, sorry, for most of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. That is simply an extravagant hope, and only strong teams have the strength to realize the vision of how to win.

In fact, there is no need for others to come up with ideas. Millwall's madness last season, coupled with the momentum of the 50-game unbeaten record is still on the way, most teams in the Premier League are already afraid.

Not daring to attack is one of the manifestations. Even if it is 442, once the midfielder's offense is counterattacked, they will be completely unable to withstand the impact of Millwall.

No need to talk about tactics, not to mention Ronaldinho, Nedved, Henry, even Glenshall who replaced Ronaldinho. It's not a ruthless character that can be completely frozen. If you can't guard against one point, it is natural for the whole line to collapse.

In the new season, Millwall's arrogance is triggering tactical changes for strong teams, and weak teams are also undergoing changes at the same time.

In the third round of the Premier League, Millwall was a guest at the Riverside Stadium.

Middlesbrough's starting line-up looks like a 442. In fact, they did not present a full-time striker.

No front!

Two players appearing in the forward position, one is the attacking midfielder and the other is the midfielder. The static formation is completely deceiving.

It's actually a 451 formation. And at the forefront is still a midfielder with defensive attributes.

Double defensive midfielder, bilateral avant-garde, midfielder, front midfielder.

Middlesbrough is at home, which is such a dense midfield formation.

This is really a bit different from the busses encountered in the past. The busses encountered by Millwall in the past blocked the dangerous area of ​​​​the penalty area. Now Middlesbrough is compressing the midfield area. They sacrificed the striker and had a numerical advantage in the midfield, frantically blocking Millwall's offensive.

Unexpectedly, the scene of this game was extremely exciting.

Because both teams can't control the midfield, Millwall has no space, less time to handle the ball, can't quickly and smoothly reverse the foot, there are many opponents, and it is extremely difficult to walk the monkey, while Middlesbrough successfully intercepted Finally, he hit the ball behind him without hesitation. If it was successful, he would be pulled down and continue to defend.

The pace of the game is very fast, and dangerous situations are constantly being staged.

The final score was 1:1, and Middlesbrough was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

After 16 successful counter-robbers in the game, the through pass succeeded only once, and only once, but scored a goal.

Millwall's 23 shots in the game were unsuccessful, and finally equalized the score with a corner kick.

Aldridge had this awareness before the season, and the new season will be extremely difficult. What he can comfort himself is that Ronaldinho and Nedved are not there.

Whether it is Glenshire or Klose, the ability to handle the ball in a small area is obviously not as good as the original main force. With the opponents in such a formation, the team's ability to handle the ball in a small area and judgment of the situation are higher. requirements.

Fleet Street cheers for Middlesbrough, although they almost stopped Millwall's unbeaten record, at least they didn't lose, and the game was not as ugly as it used to be. The time is in the midfield where you come and go.

If the scene was that Millwall beat Tottenham and the result was that Tottenham kept a draw, then this would be a shame, but like Middlesbrough's brave and tenacious fight for the ball in the midfield, even if the After sacrificing the striker, the outside world also thinks that Middlesbrough is doing well.

Before the start of the fourth round of the Premier League, Millwall sent a substitute to play in the League Cup. Villa, Lamour, and Joe Cole shined in the game, helping Millwall beat the underdog with four goals and advanced to the next round. wheel.

In the UEFA Champions League new season group draw ceremony, Aldridge was absent. He asked Adam to go to the scene on behalf of the club, but he didn't want to go.

After the expansion of the UEFA Champions League, no matter how the group is drawn, the probability of the death group is not high, and Aldrich is not afraid of the death group.
