Millwall, three points behind Newcastle United, are already favourites to win the Premier League.

The Daily Mail has devoted a lot of space to analysing Millwall's strengths, with a focus on the idea that Millwall already has the title to play.

Millwall have only lost away to Nottingham Forest in 34 league games, which is a sign of their consistency.

The 26 league goals conceded is the fewest in the Premier League, and the 64 goals scored is not the most in the league, but the goal difference shows Millwall's ability to attack and defend.

After winning the Carabao Cup, Millwall were more dominant on the pitch and had a rapid momentum, leaving most opponents to defend against them.

Since April, Millwall have played twice a week, playing every three days with an astonishing frequency, playing one more league game and FA Cup than Newcastle and one more league game than Manchester United, and almost no rotation.

Aldridge complained that if it weren't for Euro '96 being held on English soil, the Premier League schedule would not have been so compact at the end of the day.

When Millwall arrived at Stamford Bridge, they were greeted with boos and shouts.

Chelsea is still a tepid Chelsea, the title race is a fantasy, and there is no way to get a ticket to the European arena, and it becomes a hassle-free holiday to get enough relegation points four rounds in advance.

However, today's game is a London derby, and given the undying hatred between the two teams, Chelsea owner Bates has given the team a death order: Down with the Lions!

It's not that the team has to win, and Bates himself doesn't think it's realistic, but Millwall's strength is obvious to all. But he wants Chelsea to snipe Millwall for the title.

As long as Millwall can drop points in this round, then Millwall will basically say goodbye to the league champions.

That's all Chelsea can do now.

Relatives hurt enemies, and those who are happy are happy. Bitter rivals can't win the title, and Chelsea are naturally happy to hear it.

Bates did not invite Arthur to Stamford Bridge to watch the game. However, Arthur was very enthusiastic, came uninvited, and sat next to Bates in the stands, and the two couldn't help but have a high-sounding greeting.

The words that came out of the mouths of the two had nothing to do with the war of words, and it was basically the old hooligan scolding the street without a bottom line.

"Bates, give Champion Chairman Le?"

"Go and ask your three sons to pretend to be idiots and entertain you!"

"What do you think if I beat you up here?"

"Will you still be able to get out of Stamford Bridge?"

"Try?"

"Try your whole family, you dare to come here, I'm calling someone!"

"Laugh one. Don't be nervous like I'm going to rape you. ”

Although there is a huge gap between the two teams in terms of strength, there are too many factors mixed in and the game has become extremely hot.

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray have been keeping an eye on the scores of other games in the commentary, of course, the match between Manchester United and Newcastle United.

Chelsea put on a defensive posture as soon as they came up, stealing less than three points, and holding on to one point was enough to make Millwall go home crying.

Aldridge ignored the shouting in the stands behind him, he couldn't be happy.

The players still showed the momentum of the tigers descending the mountain after playing today, and they were extremely brave!

It's almost about eating the opponent in one go.

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Aldridge turned a deaf ear to what they said.

It's not that the players are blatantly disobeying the manager's will, it's just that as soon as they get on the pitch. The Premier League championship trophy naturally comes to the players' minds, and in order to fight for the championship, it is natural to fight!

The smell of gunpowder on the pitch was always strong, and Millwall's players played with their feet and cut through quickly and fluidly. Chelsea blocked it if they could, and when they couldn't, they started fouling.

Ruud Ruud Gullit was not in the starting line-up today, and his fitness and motivation were no longer enough to cope with such a fierce game.

Actually, even if Gurlitt arrived. The spiritual leader and core of the Chelsea squad has not become him, but another homegrown player. Dennis Wise.

This bad boy is the protagonist today!

He is an atypical villain in the Premier League.

Why do you say that he is an atypical villain?

Look at what he did, three minutes after the start of the game. kicked down Nedved, the referee blew him for a foul, and it looked like he was going to pull out the cards, but Wise took the initiative to reach out to help Nedved up with a smile, and then slapped Nedved's jersey with a vaguely apologetic action, and the referee saw that Nedved didn't seem to have been substantially violated, so he warned Wise to stop.

Seeing this scene, Aldrich lowered his head and silently felt a little helpless.

Nedved's role model is too real.

People kicked him, and as long as he could get up, he wouldn't delay on the ground for a second.

It's not that Aldridge wants him to put on an impromptu performance, it's just that the referee often doesn't take the initiative to protect this kind of player.

This is exactly what Dennis Wise wants, he is such an atypical villain, replaced by others, like Keane, Jones, then I shovel you and you will shovel you, and after shoveling and leaving, the referee will give cards if he likes to give cards, you me off, I will break your leg without blinking.

But this kid Wise just disguised himself to admit his mistake after doing something bad, cleaning you up one second, and reaching out to you with an apology the next.

It's just that he's a small player and doesn't look particularly strong, so he fouls fiercely and doesn't feel like he can do much damage.

If you understand his professional background, you will understand where he developed this skill.

Produced by the Crazy Gang - "Full of Evil".

When Dennis Wise kicked Nedved down for the third time, Aldridge kicked the mineral water bottle over on the sidelines and roared at the fourth official: "Are you waiting until my player has a broken leg to make a difference?" ”

The referee couldn't stand it anymore and gave Dennis Wise a yellow card, and Wise hung his head and waved his hand again and again to show his innocence, thinking that the referee's decision was unfair.

He even signaled to the referee: Look, the Czech. He can run and jump, and he's not slow at all. My foul just looked like it was big, it didn't hurt him at all!

The referee ignored Wise's arguments. The game continues.

Chelsea paid the price of five yellow cards in the first half to send the draw into the dressing room.

Aldridge found the atmosphere in the team very oppressive at half-time.

Everyone wants the championship, and everyone knows that every game must be won, so they all get nervous.

Aldridge didn't talk about tactics, but asked the physiotherapists to relax the muscles of the players, and he now wanted to shout to the players: Normal!

However, he knew that what he said was useless.

The day before the competition, he spoke for more than an hour at the preparation meeting.

Now the players have a feeling of going crazy, and there is nothing else in their eyes but the championship.

This leaves them already in a formation imbalance when they play on the pitch. If it weren't for Chelsea's lack of strength, I'm afraid Millwall would have been destroyed by a counter-attack.

The masseur took off the socks and shin guards on Nedved's leg and found that his right leg had been swollen with a large bag, and the bruises were very noticeable.

Aldrich came up to Nedved and frowned worriedly.

Nedved took a sip of water, raised his head and said firmly, "Chief, I'm fine. ”

Aldridge looked around at the other players and asked in a deep voice: "How are you feeling physically?" ”

The sweat-covered and obviously tired faces showed a resolute look in unison, and the players said in unison: "No problem." ”

Aldrich knew they were lying. But there is no way, who to replace at this time will only lead to contradictions.

After the players came on in the second half, Aldridge sat down. Beside him, Jenson worried: "I feel like the team is about to get out of control!" You see, Claude rushed straight through the centre circle as soon as he came on the pitch and they wanted to score too much. It's been a simple number of people to pile up offensive advantages. ”

Aldrich shook his head and said nothing.

Now this team is no longer the team that played in League One last year and needed Aldridge to talk about tactics all day long.

The tactical style of play has matured, and the confidence that the players have built up has given them a strong sense of autonomy.

Plainly. It's a bit like an obscure little character in a martial arts novel, and suddenly one day he has become a masterpiece. I thought I could create the world invincible.

It's a necessary stage where they think the sky is high and the birds are flying, but they don't realize that a mature team depends not only on good players, but also on a good leader.

At this special stage, Aldridge was afraid of having conflicts with the players, so he could only remain silent and let these players who thought they could win the championship desperately do what they wanted to do, and it was useless to just reason with them.

In the second half, another foul on Dennis Wise in the 53rd minute led to a second yellow card and was sent off, and Hoddle protested to the fourth official on the sidelines, and Aldridge watched from the sidelines.

Millwall, who had an extra man, only scored in the 80th minute of the second half.

The scene at that time made Aldridge feel a little sad in his heart.

A big mess!

Yes, the players on the field have lost their minds for the sake of victory, frantically playing the ball on the side, whether they are pursuing the pass or shot at the danger point, Stam, Thuram, Zambrotta all rushed to the front of the opponent's penalty area, and only Elgra was in the backfield.

The goal was a change of direction in a scuffle.

Thuram's shot from outside the box hit the legs of who and whose legs in the dense box before rolling in front of goal, where Trezeguet was shrewd enough to poke the ball into the Chelsea net with his toes in the crowd.

With that unconvincing goal, Millwall secured a victory in the midst of chaos.

Manchester United and Newcastle United won at the same time, and the title race remains unchanged.

Aldridge was full of praise for the team's performance, claiming that the victory was won by the Millwall team's hard work and that every lad was top-notch.

In fact, he wanted to scold the team, but he couldn't.

Aside from that one-shot shot in the game, Millwall's performance was nothing short of a disaster, with an imbalance in attack and defence, and the attack did look like it was going to be strong, but it was scoreless.

If this group of players can't face the game calmly in the big picture, Aldridge really can't expect much from them.

If Chelsea had scored a goal against them, perhaps they would have had an outright nervous breakdown.

Either way, luck was on Millwall's side, leaving the exhausted players elated on the return bus.

As the parties involved, they didn't realise that their performance today had lost their dominance of the game.

Two days off, a full day of training at Millwall, and then another tough game at home to Leeds United.

Leeds United are in danger of relegation because of the defeat in the last round of the league and with the last three rounds of the league remaining, and for them, every point counts. (To be continued......)
