Chelsea conceded in the 23rd minute of the first half.

Ruud van Nistelrooy rushed to the corner flag to greet the fans, and he was overjoyed to score a goal after he had been given a rare chance to start in such an important game.

The Chelsea players walked back with a composed, ready to kick off as soon as the celebrations were over.

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

The Lions fans shouted loudly.

"Chelsea, come and thank you for our lions! We're giving you a ticket to the European competition! Haha ”

Indeed, Millwall won the league title and whether Chelsea won the FA Cup or not, they would eventually get a ticket to the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Aldridge got up from his seat after scoring the goal, smiled and applauded his disciples, and after he sat down, he turned to Jenson and said: "Pavel and Henrik are both smart players, Henrik has developed a sense of play in the last three years to be effective, Pavel's threat to the goal is becoming more and more obvious, it is difficult to define his role on the field, he starts in the midfield position, but the range of movement covers the entire front, he has a strong killer ability, and he will have to tap his potential in this area in the future." ”

Jenson smiled and replied: "He's already scored a lot of goals this season, what else do you want him to do?" ”

Aldridge shook his head and said: "A lot of his goals this season are long-range shots scored after insertion, or to capture a second attacking opportunity, in the future, he will be closer to the goal and grab points directly in front of the goal!" ”

Jenson raised an eyebrow and said, "I wish he could stay here forever." ”

Aldridge's expression was stunned, and then he smiled bitterly: "If you don't mention this kind of topic today, it's easy to make people feel bad." ”

After conceding a goal. Chelsea regroup. Played a period of half-court suppression offense. But in the area of threat in and out of the box, Millwall's defence has been outstanding.

Towards the end of the first half, Millwall came back with a strong attack, but Chelsea were united and conceded to make them more focused on defence, with no other threatening shots on goal other than Larsson's long-range shot from near the box.

At half-time, the score was 0:1. Chelsea are nominally at home, so they are in front.

Aldridge laid out a tactical plan at half-time and then ordered his players to stay focused on the game.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The stands were filled with songs from Millwall fans, who were now singing more of a self-composed upbeat song than a rock-ready anthem.

At the end of the song, it repeats "Millwall, Rush." ”

So when it comes to this rhythm, all Millwall fans will keep repeating the phrase: Millwall. Rush Rush!

This made their cheering in the stands very imposing, as if the lion king of the roaring mountains and forests was roaring to the earth.

Ruud Gullitt isn't necessarily very good as a manager. There aren't a lot of tricks up the sleeve and there's nothing wrong with the team, but the test of the team and the manager's ability is to see how things change in the face of adversity.

In the first ten minutes of the second half, Chelsea's disadvantage was even more obvious, they fought harder, but there was a lack of understanding between the players, some players fought fiercely and fast, and some players were steady and slow, which made their coordination frequently wrong.

And what about Millwall?

It's like a sophisticated machine, the whole team is on the same rate, even if they didn't attack as fiercely today, but their ability to grasp opportunities by mastering the situation is fully utilized.

Chelsea's fiercest scramble was their spiritual leader, Wise, a bad boy who was already sweating profusely, grabbing the ball when he saw it, and running tirelessly.

Perhaps he has the strongest sense of belonging to the team in this group of players.

Twenty-six years!

Chelsea haven't won any big title for 26 years!

Today should have been the time to end that record.

Can't lose.

Can't lose.

Can't lose!

Wise saw Glen Charles with his back to the ball, he was chasing back, and he was too eager to equalize for the team, he directly chose to put the tackle, and his feet left the ground!

The moment Glen Charles got the ball, he saw Wise shoveling over, he was surprised and quickly dodged, and in a hurry, the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, just pressing Wise and the ball.

Wise immediately got up and tried to grab the ball, but the ball was under Glen Shire, and he kicked it with his feet

"Grass! Is this kicking? ”

Aldrich was originally drinking water with a mineral water bottle, but when he saw this scene, he directly smashed the mineral water bottle out of the air, and then rushed out of the water bottle and roared at the fourth official.

He has witnessed Neil being tackled into a serious injury, so he is very sensitive to this kind of tackle action, unlike many top defenders who are tackle masters, some players are hot-headed in order to grab the ball, and the action is not standardized, not necessarily with the idea of breaking the opponent's leg, but it 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 give a fair decision, it's a disaster for you, and you're a sinner in English football! ”

Although his words sounded uncomfortable to the referee team, they were reasonable.

Before the establishment of the Premier League, the FA Cup was more influential than League One!

As soon as Glen Charles stood up and sat on the grass again, he propped his hands on the grass behind him, looking at his left leg with some helplessness.

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 traumatic injury, scratched by Wise's spikes, fortunately he dodged quickly, otherwise I really don't know if Millwall would have had players tackled into serious injuries for two consecutive years!

Wise rushed to explain to the referee that his actions were not intended to hurt, and he had just taken two steps when Southgate rushed up. Pointing at him and scolding. Then turn around and put pressure on the referee.

The rest of the Chelsea players haven't come over yet. The referee has already shown a red card to Wise!

The point is that his second move was too bad, Glen Charles fell for dodging, pressed the ball under him, and Wise also fell, but when he stood up and kicked under Glen Char's stomach, this scene made him unable to stay on the court no matter what, and his sanity was obviously a little out of control.

Millwall's team doctor went to dress Glen Shire's wounds, although the team doctor had the authority to advise. But Glen Schal insisted on continuing to play.

It was rare to start in the final, and Glen Schal didn't want to be replaced early.

Ruud Gullit and the Chelsea players protested to the referee, and Aldridge stood on the sidelines of the centre circle with a cold face and crossed his hips, and only when he saw that Glenschar had no signs of standing up did Aldridge walk back to his seat and sit down.

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

Arthur was also furious and yelled at him, "You kicked dirty yourself, and you still make excuses? ”

When the turmoil subsides, the game resumes. Gullit replaced Hughes with Vialli, and the team's formation changed to 441.

There was less than half an hour left in the game. With the team down by one and one man down, Chelsea had no choice but to break the boat.

Full-backs are used as wingers, full-backs are used as full-backs, and Di Matteo in the middle was completely limited today, and Chelsea can only rely on the play of two wings in the process of counterattack.

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

They are now experienced in a hundred battles, especially two days ago, Barcelona was the most desperate to fight for four forwards, plus other attacking players, almost eight of them attacked in the half, and they withstood the pressure, and Chelsea's group of players, in terms of individual ability and team cooperation, must have a huge gap with Barcelona, as long as Millwall is not underestimated in mentality, and does not make mistakes himself, he will not give the opponent a chance.

Zola pulled to the side to get the ball and wanted to pass Zambrotta, Zambrotta stuck his position, but he didn't expect the flexible Zola to wipe it out, but he just passed Zambrotta, Southgate made up the defense and cut off the ball, Zola hit Southgate's body and fell into the penalty area, and all the Chelsea fans in the stands got up and shouted for a penalty!

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

The Lions' fans were full of disdain: the bantam had crashed into Southgate by himself, and the ball had already been cut off by Southgate, and if it was a penalty, our striker would have taken a penalty every minute into the box.

Southgate broke the ball and crossed to Elgra, who was pounced on by Vialli and calmly passed the ball to Schneider on the right.

Schneider sent the ball forward with a long pass on the spot, Chelsea's defense was weak, Schneider originally played as a fullback, and this season took over the right wing-back position after Thuram's departure, although the defense is not comparable with Thuram, but in the attack, especially when the ball is turned from defense to attack, his overall view is simply amazing.

After half-time, Ruud van Nistelrooy chested the ball and passed it to Glen Schal, who was running up at high speed.

The Chelsea defence, with only Leboeuf and Sinclair at the back, suddenly sounded the alarm again.

Leboeuf retreated and consciously tried to block Glenschar's path.

However, surprisingly, Glen Charles cut inside from the right and did not dribble forward, but instead walked diagonally to the middle and took the ball all the way to the left.

Sinclair stared at Vanney as he stepped back, distracted by Larsson.

Larsson ran at high speed from the original left to the right.

When Glenschal came to the left side of the box, Sinclair dropped Ruud van Nistelrooy to block Glenschal, and Leboeuf replaced him to keep an eye on Glennjor.

Leboeuf was clearly hesitant to choose when Larsson, who had completed a cross-run, slotted in from behind Ruud van Nistelrooy to the right of the box, and it was then that the ball leaped up from the left and slid over the heads of the backline.

Larsson looked at the ball as expected, and before the ball hit the ground, he came with a volley!

The goalkeeper didn't react and the ball hit the far corner cleanly!

"Millwall have a two-goal lead! Larsson, super goalscorer, his 52nd goal of the season! Two days ago he scored twice in the Netherlands to help them lift the trophy and today he scored again, he is a big player! Millwall's leading scorer has had a fantastic season! ”

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

Ruud van Nistelrooy and Glenn Schal, the two closest players to him, were running towards him, only to see Larsson smile with some regret and make a substitution gesture towards Aldridge.

'Oh, Larsson is injured, he's Millwall's most capped player this season, so it's understandable that he didn't make it to the end of the game, so hopefully he's not bad.'

Aldridge's expression was slightly sad, and he secretly said in his heart: The goal was too ruthless

The Millwall fans all stood up and applauded Larsson's title as Europe's top scorer.

Aldridge walked to the bench and decided to replace Larsson with a striker.

Seeing the striker candidates on the bench, Aldridge couldn't help but be happy.

Trezeguet was not in the squad because he still has a national team assignment in the summer: the World Junior Championships.

Shevchenko sat on the bench and could hit the sidelines.

Neither Tony nor Phillips were in the squad.

There was also a striker, Aldridge who initially put him on the bench just to get a feel for the atmosphere.

However, by mistake, now that he is leading 2-0 and has one more player, Aldridge intends to let the player go on the field to really experience it.

He walked up to the young man with a green face and a mouthful of big buckteeth, and smiled: "Ronaldinho, go warm up." (To be continued......)
