Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

With the London derby on the horizon and players from both sides already on the pitch, Chelsea boss Ruud Gullitt stood on the sidelines with a relaxed demeanor, with his side winning all four of their next four games in the new season, apart from a surprise defeat in their opening game and the loss of summer signing Poyet.

On the other hand, Millwall have not been in good form recently, dropping points in three of their five league games, and with Andrea Pirlo and Capdevilla still a month and a half to recover from injuries, Frank Lampard is close to returning.

In addition, coach Aldridge's suspension made the Lions worse, and the game was temporarily commanded by Benitez, and the Spaniard also stood on the sidelines, his face looked very solemn.

"Hello everyone, the sixth round of the Premier League focus game London derby is about to start, the leader Chelsea is sitting at Stamford Bridge today to face the defending champion Millwall, Gullit has always claimed to make Chelsea a sexy football representative, but today he also put on a defensive formation, hehe, Andy, do you think Chelsea is afraid of Millwall?"

"Why not? If Millwall stays for the Champions Cup, Chelsea will definitely be criticized for such a formation, but today Millwall did his best, Gullit lost to Hall three times last season, and today he also learned from Liverpool and Leicester City, maybe he will easily win the game, after all, the single arrow Zola is stronger than Liverpool's young Owen. ”

'If you look at the starting XI for both sides, Chelsea started in 541.

Goalkeeper: De Hooye

Defenders: Clark, Duberry, Leboeuf. Barbayaro. Ransomware

Midfielder: Petrescu. Di Matteo, Sinclair, Wise

Forward: Zola.

Millwall's starting formation is still 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout

Defenders: Schneider, Elguera, Southgate, Zambrotta

Midfielders: Makelele, Ballack, Nedved

Forward: Larsson. Trezege, Shevchenko

Andy, I'm thinking about a question, now Millwall's opponents took the initiative to shrink the second half based on defense and counterattack, relinquishing control of the midfield, what if Millwall also played like this? Wouldn't the competition be boring? ”

"Martin, that's what Hall admires, he believes his team can win, so he doesn't let the team give up control to tempt the opponent to attack, as he says. The manager should have his own ideals, and Millwall will not give up on the enterprising pursuit of victory. ”

The game begins. Chelsea kick off first.

Gianfranco Zola played the ball back to Di Matteo, Millwall put on a defensive formation, and Wise took the pass and took two steps to Zola in the middle, who tried to break through Ballack and lost possession.

Chelsea didn't cross the half-pitch since kick-off, just waiting for Millwall to organise an attack and press hard.

Claude Makelele passed the ball to Zambrotta on the wing, and the Italian full-back strode forward with the ball and made a one-two on the wing with the retreating Nedved.

However, with Petroscu in the back and Clarke in front, Roberto Di Matteo and Duberry also forming a space compression in the backfield area on this side.

Zambrotta shifted the ball laterally, Nedved moved the ball laterally with a kick, and Ballack, who cut in behind, moved the ball back to Schneider on the wing in front of Sinclair.

Gullit, who was on the sidelines, saw Millwall's lateral transfer of the ball, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he smiled as expected.

This lateral movement is Millwall's greatest ease, with a high-tempo kick out of the ball with the striker's lateral involvement, and the winger suddenly cutting inside before receiving a through ball through the defence.

But when the space at the back is filled with dense defenders, it is difficult for the forwards to find good opportunities no matter how they move.

And then what's next?

It's time for Millwall to end the attack with a long-range shot, right?

Schneider dribbled the ball to the 45 corner of the flank and then passed it to Shevchenko, where the Ukrainian had his back to the box and was ready to receive the ball, while Larsson and Trezeguet were both moving towards his side.

Le Sox put Shevchenko on the side, didn't mind Millwall going to play the bottom cross, they had an extra defender today, as long as they didn't make low-level mistakes, the cross couldn't break their defence.

Barbayaro followed Trezeguet on his heels, with Douberry also moving to this side, beware of Larsson cutting inside on the right, with Millwall's three strikers all rushing to the right flank.

At the moment when Shevchenko touched the ball, he turned his head to look at the two front partners, and everyone's eyes seemed to be in touch at the moment.

Shevchenko also kicked the ball, and he passed it to Schneider.

Immediately after completing the pass, Shevchenko turned and cut inside, and Le Sox clung to it as if he were on the verge of a big enemy.

Trezeguet pulled outside the box, and Babayaro immediately followed suit, for fear of giving the opponent room to take the ball and turn around.

Larsson stepped up to the middle of the pitch and rushed forward, Duberry hurriedly pressed his body to it, and the sweeper Leboeuf also moved to this side at this moment, intending to intercept the opponent's penetrating through ball.

However, none of the five players in the Chelsea backline noticed that when Shevchenko returned the ball, Millwall's two midfielders rushed forward with purpose like beasts.

Di Matteo and Sinclair, who were defending against Nedved and Ballack, were quickly shaken off by the duo's sudden activation.

Schneider was fully engrossed, curling a beautiful ball into the box, over the heads of the entire backline, and then straight to the back post of the six-yard box.

Scavenger Leboeuf saw the trajectory of the ball and suddenly his scalp was numb, he quickly moved to the right side of the ball to fill the position, Nedved came to the back point first, and the ball was passed between Leboeuf's legs, Leboeuf himself smelled death, and before he could turn around, there was a muffled shot behind him.

Bang!

Ballack cleanly blasted the ball into the back of the net!

Stamford Bridge fell silent.

The home stands are silent, Chelsea fans, coaches. Players. All jaw-dropping. Like a thunderbolt from the sky.

The away stands where the Lions fans are located are boiling.

"Chelsea, you are arrogant! Leader? There are only five rounds in the Premier League?! It won't be long before our lions kick you off and step on your corpses to the winner's podium as before! You're going to laugh and ask us where the lion is. We're right here and we're celebrating like crazy at Stamford Bridge! ”

The Lions' fans cheered and cheered for the team. Unscrupulously humiliate mortal enemies.

Aldridge, who was watching from the wall in the box, was also very excited after seeing the goal, stood up and waved his fist, roaring fiercely and venting.

"Swing the bus! Swing the turtle formation! Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, put it as much as you want, put it until the earth is barren, put it until the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and Lao Tzu's team will blow you up! Let you not only play football, but also make you lose face! Lao Tzu wants to let the world understand what the wild lion is crazy about! ”

Millwall scored, the first after the first three league games.

Ballack ran around excitedly after scoring the goal.

It's not just because he scored, but he and his team-mates know it, and they've created a classic team goal!

Commentator Martin Taylor couldn't get excited either.

As a football commentator. The happiest thing is to witness the birth of a classic.

"The fastest goal of the season so far, 1:07! Millwall scored a lightning goal. It was a great goal and if you just watched Nedved assist Ballack to score, you wouldn't feel how special it was because Ballack's chances were so good that it was almost impossible to fly. But if you look at the goal from start to finish, you will know what a wonderful goal it was, and what a wonderful game it was between the attack and defense of both teams! ”

"That's right, Martin, Millwall's goal must have been a well-rehearsed tactical one, from the attack to the opening goal, after nine passes to score the ball. In the process, the ball was passed forward quickly and horizontally, causing Chelsea's defensive centre of gravity to shift from right to left, which is a familiar Millwall attacking routine, but analysing the rest of the attack in slow motion reveals the beauty of Millwall's attacking players. ”

"Andy, you're so right, Shevchenko turned and cut inside after passing the ball, which attracted the Chelsea defenders to focus on his side, Trezeguet pulled outward to attract Babayaro, Larsson appeared in the center of the goal on the penalty line, Millwall's three forwards tore the Chelsea defense apart from different positions, and made a big gap on the other side, at the same time, Nedved and Ballack's high-speed insertion was obviously purposeful, Nedved went to catch the ball, Ballack grabbed the point in front of the goal, Duberry was completely dumbfounded, he didn't know whether at that moment, whether he should continue to defend Larsson in front of him or chase Ballack who passed by him! Nedved assisted, Ballack scored, and throughout the attack, counting Zambrotta, who launched a cross from the left wing, every attacking player at Millwall played a part in this attack, and they worked together to produce this classic goal! Hall's side didn't bow to defensive counter-attacking tactics, and Millwall got stronger! ”

The coaches and substitutes on the Millwall bench were stunned by the goal, and in fact they knew best that Aldridge never had rigid tactical training in training.

For example, this goal is definitely not a fixed routine.

Aldridge just tells the players the most basic ideas, and then lets the players play on their own in training, they have the tacit understanding and the ability to create the most wonderful moments when they don't expect them.

That's Aldridge's training idea: the Laconian mindset.

While everyone else was celebrating, Benitez was still unmoved, and instead calmly pressed his hands to the players, telling them not to be overjoyed: the game has just begun, don't get carried away!

Chelsea were trailing at home just after the start and Ruud Gullit's face was not relaxed.

Today's arrangement, the most feared is to lose the ball, once the ball is lost, this 541 formation instead restricts Chelsea's attacking hands and feet.

What the!

Millwall didn't score a goal against the Reds, a goal against Wimbledon and Leicester City without a goal.

Chelsea's personnel team is definitely not inferior to these three teams, why did they concede a goal as soon as they came up? Could it be that the scavenger is using the wrong one more interceptor midfielder?

Evans led the Reds to the point where they couldn't afford to lose, winning with a counter-attack at Anfield.

Ruud Gullitt has also reached the point where he can't afford to lose, not only failed to beat the Lions in the league last season, but was robbed of the championship by the other side in the FA Cup final.

The other side is a team without a coach in charge! (To be continued......)
