When the League Cup final kicked off at Wembley, the reporters watching the game couldn't help but shout at Aldrich: You liar!

Chelsea have been on a hot streak lately, with the exception of a good league game, a standings that have exceeded expectations in the table, and their knockout of Arsenal to advance with a high start also looks more valuable than Millwall.

Coupled with Ruud Gullit being sacked and Maker Vialli taking over, Chelsea were in the limelight for a while.

In fact, no one can explain what percentage of the fame brought by the media attention and the fame of the team's strength are each.

However, Chelsea are the one who has received more attention, and at the same time, due to psychological problems, neutral fans and the media want Chelsea to beat Millwall to win the title, which is a strange mentality, but it is common in society, people always do not want to see the success of the winners, hoping that the challengers can stage a counterattack.

Aldridge praised Chelsea's results in the pre-match interview, because the team has just finished a UEFA Super Cup, so he said that he will still let all the substitutes play this League Cup, which is a challenge for the team, but there is no way, Millwall has to focus on the future, there is still one leg in the UEFA Super Cup, and the Champions League 1/4 final is about to be ushered in, their opponent is the Serie A giants Juventus!

After Aldridge calmly told reporters about the starting list, the outside world believed it.

Because in the past two months, as long as Aldridge announces the starting list in advance, there will be absolutely no deviation in the next day's game!

It was this preconceived impression that no one doubted Aldridge's words that the young coach was a sincere man, while the Chelsea side was mixed.

The good news is that Millwall is on the bench. Your chances of winning the championship will be much higher.

The anger is that the other party looks down on people a little. Male-Gobi. In the final, all the substitutes, the whole world, only Millwall can do this, right?

Millwall really can't do it!

If it is true that all the substitutes lose the game, Aldridge will not be able to escape the blame, especially against Chelsea, and the fans are expected to have riots again.

The main team can't fight hard, and if you lose the game, the fans can understand.

But if you can obviously get on the main force, you can't do it. It's a bit infuriating to lose this game!

The Lions fans who went to Wembley to cheer on the team came with a sad face.

They also believed it, thinking that Aldridge would send all the substitutes, who the hell can have a bottom in their hearts?

But when they started waving their flags and shouting in the stands, they found the starters coming out of the players' tunnel, and everyone smiled happily in the stands.

"Chelsea, you've been fooled!"

Aldrich threw a big smoke bomb!

Fleet Street reporters are all angry and scolding the street!

The all-England Carabao Cup final, whether on TV or in today's newspapers, is analysing and predicting Millwall's all-substitute Chelsea play.

But who are the players?

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Mills, Elgra. Southgate, Neil.

Midfielder: Claude Makelle. Barak, Nedved.

Forwards: Ronaldinho, Gudjohnsen, Glen Char.

This Nima counts carefully, at least five players are the absolute main force!

And the double back of Ballack and Makelele, the double central defender combination of Elguera and Southgate, this is the backfield defensive system partner without the slightest defensive run-in problem!

And compared to the combination of upper Pirlo, Ballack and Makelele, the defensive hardness has risen by at least one notch!

Neil used to be the main team, and after returning from a serious injury, he played a jack-of-all-trades role this season, in addition to the goalkeeper in all positions in the backfield, his performance is also very stable, he is in the position of left wingback, there is no big problem, he started in this position. Mills is weak in defense, Schneider played Dortmund on the right side in the last game and was tired of going straight up and down, and it is understandable that he played.

Scammed!

Aldrich, you big bastard!

Aldridge felt awkward today.

It was the weirdest game of his coaching career.

He shook hands with Vialli before the game, and then the opponent took off his coat, wore his jersey inside, and twisted to the court to prepare for the game.

The Chelsea manager's seat is empty.

Vialli player and coach, this game is in person!

Aldridge habitually watched the opponent's entire team on the sidelines, and as soon as his gaze swept over Vialli's face, he felt uncomfortable.

"Hehe, all of us were struck by Hall, look at the starting lineup he sent today, the outside discussion is a joke."

"He confused everyone with this smoke bomb, but I don't know if Vialli was fooled."

"I think this will definitely disrupt all of Chelsea's pre-match deployment, heart to heart, if I were Vialli, I would be afraid of the opponent's main 11 players, the tactical play must be targeted, but if it is to play the opponent's substitute lineup, the tactical arrangement must be completely different, to be honest, Chelsea's strength is not enough not to look at the opponent's face, as long as you play your own style to ensure victory."

"Then it will be up to us to see how the game plays out today."

Playing in the final, morale is definitely much higher than usual.

Coupled with Millwall's smoke bombs, Chelsea were desperate to take out the opponent in one go, and suddenly there was a change in the field, and Vialli was very entangled.

What about change?

The game is about to start, how will it change? At this time, if the whole team can't unify their thinking, resulting in self-chaos, won't that call Millwall successful?

In the end, Chelsea chose to stick to the pre-match set-up and attack from the very beginning of the game!

With their attacking firepower averaging close to 2 goals per game this season, it gives them a lot of confidence.

There is no impenetrable gate!

Millwall, for their part, were evenly matched from the start of the game.

The group of players on the field is not Wuxia Ameng, who has seen a big scene in the past two years, and the main players have also played a lot of finals. Won quite a few championships. They were calm on the field. The championship temperament embodied affects other young players, so that they are not so psychologically stressed on the final stage, and they have the support of the big brothers anyway.

Chelsea attacked fiercely, pressed Millwall, and every player was very active in his movements, paying particular attention to the return when switching from attack to defence.

Millwall's formation shrunk, and the opponent counterattacked, and in the first half, he targeted the right flank. Fight to the right side, and the iron heart is to blow up the opponent's left side defense!

Ballack and Nedved were both in central midfield, and their layered positioning also attracted the attention of the opposition on the counter-attack, but the ball was not given to them today.

Rarely, Ronaldinho is in the midfield position on the counter-attack, and he is doing the work of the front midfield organization.

Partnering with Glen Charles on the right, he frequently threatens on the right.

However, there is only Gudjohnsen on the front line, and Glen Schal can create a threat, but it can't reach a lethal level.

Aldridge sat with his chin propped up and watched the ball, his expression unpleasant.

Judging by the scene. Chelsea pressed Millwall on the offensive and their players were more active and hardworking.

Millwall, on the other hand, had only two or three players on the attack. Ballack and Nedved are not on the line, and Ronaldinho is only active in the midfield area.

But probably no one is deeply aware of one problem: the involvement of the overall formation.

Millwall is like a mountain, most of the players are firmly in the middle and back to protect the goal in the fortress, Chelsea is like a spring, attacking when attacking, and when defending, they are afraid of Millwall and recovering on a large scale.

Glen Charles has a very obvious role on the wing, that is, deep attacking power, he can break through from the side with the ball all the way to the bottom line, even if he can't send a good ball to the closely marked Gudjohnsen, but with his and Gudjohnsen's attack in the front, seven or eight Chelsea players have run back to the second half to defend in a wide range.

This is a severe test of physical exertion, even if you can last 90 minutes, but the further the game drags on, the minimum burst starts the short sprint, there will be a clear difference.

Vialli is a good player, but not a top manager, at least he hasn't proven it.

Aldridge is definitely not as good as him, and a hundred Aldridge's playing ability is superimposed, I'm afraid it's still not as good as him.

But in the same way, in terms of head coach ability, Aldridge has been immersed in it for more than ten years, and he is also confident that he is stronger than Vialli, especially since Vialli is now playing on the field, how much can he think about the overall situation from the perspective of the head coach?

The other party is now a bit like a handle, picking up a big knife and giving an order: Brothers, rush!

But the head coach really doesn't rely on enthusiasm to be a manager.

In the first half, the score was 0:0 and the two sides returned to the dressing room.

In the second half, Chelsea seemed to be aware of Millwall's tactical intentions and began to rein in their efforts to save energy and the opposition.

They struggled for a long time in the first half and realised how well Millwall defended as they didn't get a decent shot on goal, but they were tired enough to go back and forth between the offensive and defensive ends.

When Aldridge saw Chelsea's posture in the second half from the sidelines, he turned to Benitez and smiled: "It's a win." ”

Benitez grimaced and said, "It's better to be careful." ”

"The first half was a game, and in the second half, we dominated the game."

Aldridge got up and walked to the sidelines, and Chelsea hit a wall in the first half, and the second half was closed, not only the situation on the field reversed, but also the psychological blow to them.

Millwall continued to play on the right flank in the second half, and on the premise of Chelsea's recovery, the full-backs boldly assisted and Glenschal's performance shone brightly.

His characteristic, which is a breakthrough, turned Chelsea's defense upside down on the left, forcing them to shift their centre of gravity to the left.

When the 70th minute came, Aldridge replaced Glenschhard with Donny van der Meyde.

When he came off the pitch, Aldridge took the initiative to hug him and praise him for his performance today, although he did not score or assist, but he fully implemented the tactical arrangement and paid off.

Van der Meyde's arrival was a signal, Millwall took the initiative to suppress the attack for 70 minutes, the whole team except for Gudjohnsen, the fitness is still full, and the most exhausting Glen Charles is also off.

Ballack is a midfielder from the back, Nedved returns to the midfield position, and the god of war is back in place!

Ronaldo returned to the winger position and began to fully release the attack, Van der Meyde's side shrunk to play as a full-back, on the one hand, the defense on this side, and on the other hand, the tactics required him to do a tandem strategy.

Millwall stopped playing on the right and the attack began to spread across the centre and left.

Chelsea's right side of the defense, which had not been affected for the previous 70 minutes, suddenly found that Ronaldo no longer organized the attack, but took on the role of attacking knife, which immediately made the Chelsea defence very uncomfortable.

Ronaldo loves Chelsea, he loves it very much, and seeing Chelsea brings back wonderful memories.

Last season's appearance in the FA Cup final was his career debut and he scored.

Today, he also wants to leave a beautiful memory! (To be continued......)
