944 My Chelsea is king!
Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ――
The score became 4-2 and Aldridge made the final substitution.
Ram up, Schneider down.
Germans for Germans.
"Schneider, the hero who equalized for Millwall in this game, was substituted, and interestingly, the player who replaced him was his compatriot, 19-year-old Lahm, who was born in the Bayern Munich academy, Bayern Munich sent Lahm and 12.5 million pounds in cash to Millwall FC in the summer in order to get the main German striker Klose, but I didn't expect the German youngster to get the opportunity to play in the first game of the new season, much earlier than we expected."
Aldridge is still a substitution, however, the impact on the team is still there, Schneider is on the field, no matter how much the score is, Schneider will attack, and after Lahm plays, he will be a standard fullback at the beginning, based on defense, this is a defender, or his job is a defensive player must go through the process, at the beginning, regardless of other abilities, defense is the first, defense is not good, no matter how good the offense is, otherwise, simply go to play winger.
At this time, even if Chelsea found the right routine in the counterattack, Millwall will no longer give the opponent absolute space on the wing, and the chain reaction is that Millwall's double back defensive area can be reduced, attention will not be constrained by other local gaps, and the defensive quality is much better than before.
Millwall's attack, on the other hand, began to shift frequently to the middle, returning to their old set of using the middle as the point of advancement, left, center and right to create the opportunity for the last pass or fatal blow.
Cristiano Ronaldo squandered two good chances. On the right side, his speed can blow off Bridge. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a lot of opportunities last season, has improved rapidly, especially in the winger's awareness of cutting inside. However, it was probably because he played on the right wing and was not as powerful in the shooting link as he was on the left and cut inside with his right foot, and his shot was confiscated by Cudicini once, and once he flew into the stands, it was almost a half-one-on-one chance.
Aldridge certainly knows that Ronaldo is much more of a threat on the left flank than on the right, and the modern winger plays with his left foot on the right wing and his right foot on the left flank, in order to cut inside and shoot. However, Ronaldo can be very versatile, this all-round refers to the category of "striker", so he was put on the right side in the early stage to sharpen his team awareness, and then moved him to the left side after two seasons, and in the end, he may become a free man on the front line, everywhere.
Another factor is also because Ronaldo is not strong enough, he cannot coexist on the same side as Ronaldo, and Ronaldo can tolerate Ronaldo. But Ronaldo will certainly not be able to keep up with Ronaldo's rhythm in turn, and once Ronaldo reaches a certain level, Millwall's 433 will be transferred to a new technical and tactical system.
In the final five minutes, Chelsea sprinted repeatedly. The wide players are also out of fitness, the tempo of the game has completely slowed down, and Millwall is still attacking strongly. Aldridge looked and shook his head from the sidelines.
There was a strange scene on the field.
Alonso worked tirelessly to try to attack, looking for an open space up front. Wait for a team-mate's off-ball run to make a threatening pass, while Ronaldo will pass the ball back to Alonso when he gets it.
There is an invisible contradiction in the team's skills and tactics.
Although the contradiction is minimal. But the problem is clear: Alonso's grasp of the rhythm is not hot enough.
When to be fast, when to be slow, when to paralyze the opponent, when to deliberately control the pace to relax the opponent, and when to pull the pace of the game to a rate that is fast enough to break the opponent.
These are things that the team can't specifically develop players and get immediate results, and it takes a lot of games to hone it, so that the person who masters the rhythm can understand, experience, and be strong by himself.
Pirlo lived in a good era, when he was relaxed and easy to grow stronger, and now Alonso is in a tense and stressful environment.
In his limited playing time, Lahm was decent, contributing a successful interception to Duff and no other challenges.
"In the first round of the Premier League of the new season, Chelsea 2:4 Millwall at home, the game is over, congratulations to Millwall for their first win of the new season, and Chelsea, which has been hotly discussed for more than a month, can learn lessons from this game, as well as recognize the reality, Rome was not built in a day, the former club owner Bates spent 21 years without success, and now with a new owner, I am afraid it is not a short term to make this team successful, anyway, Chelsea has become stronger, which is obvious to all, but, They are not yet strong to the height of the top! ”
Aldridge did not shake Eriksen's hand after the game, he deliberately waited outside the players' tunnel for three seconds, did not see Eriksen get up from the dugout, and left directly.
The whole Millwall team, except for Bout, the players who played today and were substituted stood in a row in the field, they took off the jerseys they wore during the game, looked at each other and smiled, probably they had discussed before the game, grabbed the crumpled jersey with their right hand, sprinted 15 meters towards the away team fan stand, and threw the jersey to the stand of the away team fans in unison, causing the Lions fans to erupt into louder cheers after the scramble.
This scene has become a classic picture of the first round of the Premier League this season.
Fleet Street interpreted the meaning of the behavior of the entire Millwall team after the game: mocking Chelsea!
I vaguely remember that Chelsea, which couldn't open the pot last season, banned the exchange of shirts after the game in the team in order to save costs.
Millwall's players, at Stamford Bridge, openly threw their shirts en masse into the stands and gave them to their fans for collection.
In the stands, Chelsea's new boss Abou's face has turned pale.
Chelsea's hostility with Millwall, or sworn enemies, where would he care as an outsider?
However, the team he spent so much effort to build lost at home, not only defeated by the opponent with gorgeous and wonderful football, but also reveled here against the hosts, isn't it like slapping him in the face one after another?
It makes him ridiculous, rhetoric is a joke, and the careful selection of players to build a team is futile.
As he got up and walked into the passage of the court. An assistant beside him comforted: "Today was just an accident, we are a brand new team. ”
"Don't tell me about accidents! This is absolutely unacceptable! Unacceptable! I'm here. It's not about being a foil to someone else's success, it's not about being a clown! If I buy Tottenham. Tottenham have to be the best team in the country! Now, I've bought Chelsea, my Chelsea, and it has to be the best team in the country! Did you hear me clearly? Did you hear me clearly? Manchester United are better than us? Arsenal are better than us? Millwall is better than us? Then dismember them! Defeat them! Trample them under your feet! In the land of this declining empire, the most popular sport or entertainment for all, my Chelsea, is going to be king! Do you know what a king is? And all of them fell on their knees, trembling at the king's feet! ”
Abu's rare thunderous rage was not seen by anyone else in this passage anyway.
His assistant was visibly stunned as Abu walked away. He frowned and whispered, "But your personal relationship with the Hall family"
In fact, in the eyes of Abu's team, English football, Manchester United, and Arsenal have not yet reached a transcendent height, and the only thing that prevents Chelsea, or Chelsea after careful construction, from becoming the ruler, has only one goal to surpass: Millwall.
What the history of the past is, is not their concern. Like Liverpool have 18 top-flight titles and four Champions League titles, so what? Prior to Abou's arrival, Chelsea were above Liverpool last season. Do you still want to treat Liverpool as an opponent now?
Manchester United, Arsenal, look like they are better than Chelsea right now. But as long as Chelsea continue to invest, it won't be difficult to overtake them. After all, neither team has produced particularly impressive results in recent years.
Only Millwall, this is the public enemy of Europe!
It's not just Chelsea who are trying to overtake Millwall. Other European giants are all building teams with the goal of defeating Millwall as the standard, why? Defeated Millwall, is it far from the top of Europe?
But Chelsea's owner, Abu, knows that he has a good personal relationship with the man who created the myth of wealth in the United States, and both camps run clubs and are in the same competitive environment, and they are afraid that if they are "hostile" at the club, it will affect Abu's personal relationship with Barnett Hall.
Abu, who realized that he was out of shape, quickly sorted out his feelings, calmed down, and when he heard his assistant's words, he stopped, turned around and said disapprerovingly: "Would you and your friends have a conflict because of the success or failure of the game?" That's the kind of childish behavior that only a spoiled child would do. ”
Whether it is Abu or Barnett, they will not have the feeling of "living for football, dying for football".
And with the wealth they have, the football club is not from the perspective of the past team owners to invest in commodities, Manchester United's owners treat Manchester United as a commodity, and Arsenal's shareholders also take rational management as the team's building policy, they care about financial statements, care about balance and profitability, and Abu is not, his mentality is the original intention that he deliberately emphasized after buying Chelsea: entertainment.
It may be difficult for ordinary fans to have this mentality, just like some people go to the casino to get rich overnight, and some people go to the casino just to have fun.
Aldridge sat at the table with his friends for a night, losing tens of thousands of pounds and just laughing, if someone turns their faces or has a conflict because of the win or loss at the table, it can only be said that everyone is not all the way, and the mentality of the gambling game is different.
There will also be competition in entertainment, playing games, who wants to lose all the time? Who doesn't want to win when it comes to gambling? The mindset simply determines the reaction in the face of the outcome and does not change the goal of the entertainment.
As long as you don't break the law, what can't you do?
In Abu's view, the suppression of Millwall is not a "war", but a game game.
We are competing, you become weaker, relatively, I am stronger.
His relationship with the Hall family, just like Andrew said, he and Barnett have the best relationship, Andrew is second, Aldrich is the last, as for whether it will cause the relationship to break down, Abu thinks it is simply unreasonable, play a game, play to the point of turning his face? Are you still kids?
Just like in his eyes, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Milan and other teams can try to hollow out Millwall and create one trouble after another for Millwall, why can't Chelsea? You haven't turned your face with these passers-by, do you want to turn your face with your friends?
Abu only thinks Aldrich is a child, and he also believes that Barnett won't care, just like they race horses together, win or lose, have fun, what does it mean to be angry? Can't afford to play?
Abu's assistant probably understood what the boss meant, and originally had some scruples about Millwall's side, but now, he has to start replanning, creating trouble for them, weakening and attacking Millwall as much as possible, and at the same time putting Chelsea on the right track, getting stronger day by day, one day, Chelsea will replace Millwall's position in European football!
