174 A handsome man who is strategic

A year ago, Aldridge commented in an interview that Ruud Gullit was coming to the end of his career, despising Fleet Street's pursuit of him, drawing displeasure from Chelsea fans.

But Ruud Gullit did stay at Chelsea for a season, and Chelsea's standings were almost unchanged from the previous season, and even fell into the bottom half, and after Gullit took over, the media naturally began to stir up the two.

In terms of professional age, Gullit and Aldridge are both young marshals, Aldrich is two years earlier than him, and he has already achieved a little, Gullit, the cards in his hand are not the best, but they are not bad, and the results are passable, but compared with Millwall's total victory in the past three months, it is not in the same grade.

The Millwall fans were still dismissive of Chelsea, humiliating Chelsea as much as they could, and came to the stands of their rivals in an arrogant manner.

Aldridge has reduced the frequency of verbal wars since this season, because the team is the leader, and on the cusp of the storm, it is the right way to provoke less unstable internal military morale, and secondly, no one takes the initiative to provoke him.

Manchester United is in the critical stage of regrouping, and the Champions League is about to usher in the final group stage of the do-or-die game, and if Ferguson is clear-headed, he should let the team prepare for the game in a low-key manner to avoid becoming the focus of the pressure.

Although Arsene Wenger has landed in north London and is busy rebuilding the arsenal, he is also in the process of getting acquainted with the UK, and there is a war of words? The reporter didn't trouble him, so he burned high incense and thanked God.

Liverpool's Roy Evans has been Aldridge's underdog, so how can a defeated man be brave? He went to Aldrich to go to war, which was tantamount to bringing humiliation upon himself.

Kevin Keegan, who was kicked out of the championship by Millwall last season, was in dire straits of his own and bought Shearer, but the defense was still a mess. His days at St James' Park are starting to take a hard turn.

The number one rival, West Ham United, has been in relegation since the start of the league. Old Ray will not provoke a war unless he is crazy. He just begged Aldridge to be merciful before this season's East London derby.

As for Ruud Gullit, he is a superstar among the players, a sand in the coaching world, and he doesn't dare to speak out against Aldridge until he proves himself.

In this chaotic and eventful season of the Premier League, each family has its own troubles, and no one wants to jump out to provoke Millwall, most of them have no strength. A small number of powerful people are scared, if the points gap between Manchester United and Liverpool can be smaller, maybe the psychological war will start a long time ago, but unfortunately their own teams are also stormy.

Aldridge was reluctant to comment on Chelsea in his pre-match press conference and said three words perfunctorily when asked: so-so.

Offensive?

So so.

Defend?

So so.

Is football style sexy?

So so.

Gurlit?

So so.

Di Matteo?

So so.

Vialli?

So so

Chelsea are in a 'fair' ranking, with goals scored and goals conceded at an 'average' level.

Aldrich felt that his assessment was pertinent, but when it was misinterpreted, it turned into contempt.

Ruud Gullit's response was not overdone: 'Hall's managerial record is indeed excellent, but he should have more respect for Chelsea. It's not his turn to judge how my players are. ”

If it weren't for the reporter's question, Aldrich wouldn't have bothered to say.

Again. He feels he has enough respect for Chelsea.

Our two families are mortal enemies!

I don't step on you to be respectful.

Stamford Bridge, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

Aldridge appeared in front of the visitors' dugout, looked around and sat down.

Gullit also sat with the coaching staff in sportswear.

Players from both sides began to take the stage.

When the commentator introduced the starting line-ups of both sides, there was a singing in the stands.

The quieter stands were mostly populated by Blues fans, with fewer than 4,000 Lions fans here today.

But they gathered in the visitors' stands, and the Roar fans led by Brady set up before the game and began to sing loudly when they arrived.

Aldridge glanced at the visitors' fan stands, where they were all accustomed to a variety of cheering slogans.

But what is the song they sing in unison?

Aldrich frowned slightly, listening to the obscene lyrics in the song, this is too vulgar and tasteless, right?

Usually the fans in the stands humiliate each other and make up songs.

But there are also bottom lines for each other, and fans who don't keep the bottom line will hurt the club, such as Bolton fans who made a plane crash during a match against Manchester United after the Munich air disaster, which directly made Bolton the target of public criticism, and the Premier League team played them particularly hard, and even made it difficult for them to even sign players.

The song that Millwall fans sang today was a bit unbearable.

To Aldridge's puzzlement, there is nothing to do with Chelsea in this lyric.

Did you come to Stamford Bridge to show off the brazen hooligans?

He didn't notice that Gurlit's expression next door was gloomy and frightening, and his mouth moved, as if grinding his teeth.

Materazzi and Zambrotta, who were on the bench, both laughed.

Aldridge saw the expressions of the two players and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Materazzi pointed to the visitors' stands, and Zambrotta looked over and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean? What's so funny about that? ”

A filthy and obscene song, Aldrich doesn't find it funny.

Materazzi smiled and exclaimed: "Boss, this song is something Chelsea manager Mr Ruudit has sung before. ”

Aldridge's expression was stunned, this vulgar erotic song was sung by the pigtail handsome man next door?

Materazzi continued: "A few years ago he joined an unpopular band and covered a lot of these songs as a bassist, and for a while in Italy everyone thought he was disgusting, and I forgot the name of that album. ”

"It's called Revelation-Time."

Zambrotta immediately added.

Aldridge clutched his head and laughed like the rest of the coaches.

The braid and handsome braid are really different, really cool.

That makes sense. Dare Millwall fans are directly humiliating the opposing coach today.

Aldridge smiled and looked at Chelsea's starting line-up.

Even though Gullit has Vialli and Zola in his hands. But in the Chelsea squad. Up front is a veteran, Welsh king Mark Hughes of the last generation, who today partners Gianluca Vialli.

The heart of the midfield is Roberto Di Matteo, paired with Chelsea's spiritual leader Wise, and the addition of Leboeuf at the back has bolstered the team's defence.

Although Chelsea's international column was built later than Millwall, it has also pulled out a team, and it is by no means comparable to the world's garbage team like West Ham United.

But the 11 players together played well. You have to see the real chapter on the field.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides immediately opened up the momentum, and the pace of the game was very fast from the first second.

Chelsea has strengthened this year, the new coach has taken office, the players are high-spirited, there are tough guys and villains in the team, and there are also stars, so naturally they will not be afraid of Millwall, who has won 14 consecutive league games.

Chelsea's pressing style of play after the opening kick-off made Millwall really uncomfortable. After all, it is the opponent's home stadium, and the players are slower to get into the groove than the home team. This is all normal.

The game started very closely.

Pirlo was very difficult to organize under the pressure of Wise and Di Matteo, occasionally penetrating the ball into the middle, and the scavenger Leboeuf was able to clear the ball bravely, but the action looked a little big, but the fans in the stands liked such actions, and the cheers came and went.

In the opening 20 minutes, Millwall had few chances.

But Chelsea didn't take advantage of it, Di Matteo, who did technical work in the midfield, did not play well under the double line of Nedved and Pirlo, and the route of the ball was always predicted, even Schneider, whose defensive skills were still being honed, was able to seize the position in advance by observing the situation on the field on the right side to resolve the opponent's cross penetration.

Benitez said to Aldridge: "Pirlo didn't play well today. ”

He was frightened by Wise. That's a cunning bad boy. ”

"Let Nedved retreat?"

"No, I wanted to see if he could adjust himself, and it looks like he needs to mention something."

Aldridge got up from his seat just as Vialli was knocked to the ground by Stam in the scramble and needed the team doctor to come in to check on the injury, so he called Pirlo to the front.

"Andrea, ten minutes, all the attacks are on the left, and after ten minutes, on the right. Do you understand? ”

Pirlo asked rhetorically, not quite understandingly: "What if there is no good way to play the ball on the left side?" ”

"Do as I say, and you'll understand in ten minutes."

Pirlo nodded and began to carry out Aldrich's instructions.

Millwall has more time to control the ball, and although Chelsea is fierce, the formation is not chaotic, so Pirlo's previous shots are to the feet of Nedved in front of the center, because the space is slightly larger, and because the opponent has a Leboeuf who is good at playing scavengers, he is not afraid of penetrating the ball in front of the penalty area.

Andrea Pirlo began to play the ball to the left frequently, which skewed Millwall's attack to the left, and Chelsea's defensive formation naturally began to squeeze down that side.

Capdevilla, Larsson, and Nedved, under the command of Andrea Pirlo, Millwall attacked the left flank and played wave after wave of efficient attacks.

Unfortunately, several shots on goal came close to the goal.

Ten minutes were up before Pirlo understood Aldrich's intentions.

Originally, the formation on the field was balanced, and Pirlo would only look for space in static space.

But when Millwall's attacking focus is often concentrated on one side, the opponent will automatically adjust to the disadvantage, and inadvertently, the other side of the defensive hole appears.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Andrea Pirlo reappeared to pick up the ball on the left side of midfield, and Chelsea's defensive formation was clearly set up to kill this side.

Pirlo played a long, diagonal pass from the spot and unexpectedly sent the ball to the right wing.

Schneider, who has been playing as a full-back for the past two years, has long been familiar with Millwall's attack, and when the front side appeared, he rushed up with ease, and the combination of passing and running was very good.

Firmly stopping the ball in front of him, Schneider picked up a cross in front of him, Shevchenko was unmarked on the edge of the box, took a step forward with the ball and fired a shot into the far corner of the goal.

The previous wave of attacks ended without a problem, and Pirlo himself felt a little powerless, he thought that it was how good the opponent's defense was, but in fact he had not yet discovered his potential!

Pirlo was smiling as he looked at his teammates who were celebrating in front of him, and although he still needs more practice to improve himself, he has already started to enjoy the role he plays in the team, the feeling of being in charge, which is awesome! (To be continued......)
