"At the end of the first half, Millwall led Chelsea 2-0, this is a refreshing first half, when the whole of Europe is studying Millwall, Chelsea, as a member of the Premier League, must also have an in-depth understanding of Millwall, when the schedule of Millwall will visit the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid in the middle of the week, it is no longer a secret that Hall will put out a substitute lineup in this game, but Chelsea was still caught off guard, Millwall is tough and decisive, Even the crazy midfield defense has created a new situation of the game, they will not give the Chelsea midfield space to organize the attack, and Millwall under the arrowhead Villa's diligent and even somewhat murderous positive expression, Ramour attack, today Kaka, who is actually a shadow striker, is galloping around in the attacking end, using his speed, dribbling, and Villa to intimidate, humiliate, and conquer Chelsea! ”

"Martin, on the card, in fact, the strength of the starting lineup of the two teams today is equal, Millwall is slightly weaker, but they are more physical, so it can be said that no side has a clear advantage, the venue is also a neutral venue, the atmosphere in the stands is still the fans of both sides are fighting each other, in this case, Millwall can score two goals in the first half, and limit Chelsea's attack well, in fact, Hall defeated Ranieri, at the tactical level, now Ranieri needs to think about countermeasures, otherwise, Chelsea's season comes to an end after 45 minutes in the second half. ”

When they walked into the dressing room, the Millwall players were still full of murderous spirit, they didn't talk about laughing, they didn't talk about goals, on the contrary. They were silent. Resolute eyes. The expression is meticulous, waiting for the arrival of the second half, waiting for the war that belongs to them to continue!

Aldrich praised their cousins and spent a lot of time continuing to cheer them on and boost their morale.

The Chelsea dressing room was gloomy, with the intruders not as clear as onlookers, and the commentators were expecting Millwall to whip up a storm of tactical innovation. The Chelsea side themselves are just thinking about how to salvage the game.

Ranieri racked his brains to think about how to make Chelsea establish an advantage in the midfield and be able to penetrate Millwall's midfield in terms of organizational passing, but no matter how he changed his midfield position and attacking routine, it seemed impossible to achieve the goal. They lack brains, commanders and such roles. Wide players, especially those who come in to provide support and press on the wings, are very average.

Taking the initiative to attack and unable to think of a way to crack it, Ranieri tried to change his mind.

That is to let Millwall wreak havoc in the midfield, and Chelsea's midfield is withdrawn to strengthen the defence, so how to play the attack?

It's simple, long pass punch hanging!

As long as a team can play such tactics, Ranieri can't find a better way in a short period of time, so he can only simplify the complex, rather than arranging complex offensive routines for players in a short period of time at halftime, it is better to use a simple and crude method, at least the team integrity will not be a problem, lest the team cannot be integrated because of the overly complex tactical design, and eventually collapse itself.

As he walked out of the dressing room at half-time, Ranieri knew he had lost again against Aldridge this time.

This is a norm, when Millwall forces the opponent into a desperate situation, completely destroys its organizational offensive routine or confidence, the opponent will use a long pass to deal with Millwall, if this has an effect, then Millwall has already been defeated, this is a desperate last resort, after all, the field can not always be one side of the attack, but there is a strong form on the field, that is, the strong side of the opponent does not dare to attack!

At the start of the second half, Chelsea shrank at the back and began to play long balls, and Aldridge was relieved to see this, but his spirit did not relax.

It can only be said that at the level of his managerial fighting style, Ranieri did not use a single move and a half that would make him jealous.

Long passes are used by teams that can't do it, because there is a bottom line, that is, maybe, if you are lucky, you can score.

Chelsea are stronger than those lower teams, significantly worse than the top teams, and they have a certain power in this move, but not to the point where they can sweep the opponent all over the world with one move.

Ranieri's adjustments, however, had an immediate effect.

The strong striker Hasselbaink knocked away Barzagli in a scramble for a header, Aldridge thought it was a foul, he complained directly to the referee team on the sidelines, the referee did not blow the whistle, Hasselbaink header wanted to be ferried to Gudjohnsen, but Metzeld kept an eye on the Icelander, and the header was cleared in a hurry, the ball fell at the feet of Zola, he happened to have a forward run, the chest stopped the ball and went straight forward, De Rossi failed to follow, Zola entered the penalty area and continued to change direction and dribble past Metzelde, There was a chance for a one-on-one goal, but he crossed to the back of the goal, and Hasselbaink flanked it and penetrated the goal guarded by Pagliuca.

Aldrich saw this and directly swore words.

He yelled at the fourth official, "You're all blind! Hasselbaink knocked down Barzagli from behind, don't me for a reasonable collision, I'll stab you in the back, is this reasonable? Can you accept it? ”

The fourth official turned around and did not dare to face Aldrich's questioning, the referee came over to warn Aldrich, but Aldrich applauded sarcastically, he also pointed to his eyes, and the referee gave two warnings and turned away.

Aldridge's anger is justified, although he has a high reputation and prestige in England, just now he is challenging the authority of the referee and changing the coach, and he will be sent off directly, but the referee team still chooses to make a big deal small.

But the reason for his anger is that he always has a feeling that in England, where the ambition and strength of the team to win the title, the forces behind the scenes have joined forces to try to influence the FA, the Premier League, the referee committee and all kinds of football forces.

Just like the CEO of the Premier League after Millwall won the Premier League title six rounds ahead of schedule this season, he would congratulate Millwall openly, but he would also say after congratulating: We want the Premier League to be more competitive, the championship is always the same team, this phenomenon is not very good.

Millwall already has a certain "political power" in England, but it does not mean that they can cover the sky with one hand, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams, all have a certain energy, think about Tottenham and Everton ten years ago is still recognized as a top team, they can contribute to the mainstay of the establishment of the Premier League, ten years later, this pattern of strong alliances will not change, it is difficult for a single thing to happen.

Aldrich hoped that he was paranoic and had persecution paranoia, in which case he was suspicious, not the truth.

The Millwall players on the pitch did not complain about the goal being pulled back, only Barzagli felt a little aggrieved, and when he was fighting for a header, he first stuck in position, and Hasselbaink not only jumped up behind him, but also elbowed his back, and he fell to the ground.

Aldridge doesn't believe that Chelsea can rely on long passes to hit the hook again and again!

The Millwall players were not convinced either.

Chelsea retreated to the midfield and Millwall's frantic interception didn't work, but that didn't mean they were out of line.

With Alonso organised, with Pedretti and Ramour at his side, one up front and De Rossi behind him, Millwall relied on a central midfield to build an attacking advantage and slowly eat away at Chelsea's defence.

Patience, steadiness, mental concentration, diligent running, and aggressive defending, Millwall's bench lineup is so good that Aldridge is proud of his positional battles!

Chelsea withdrew and Millwall looked for an opportunity outside the box.

In the 69th minute, Alonso's high-quality long-range shot from outside the area almost penetrated Cudicini's ten fingers.

Two minutes later, Chelsea's long pass from the back was controlled by De Rossi, who then dribbled forward and rushed to the front without hindrance, and when he met Petit, De Rossi passed the ball to Alonso, who ran out of space, and Alonso tried to shoot from distance!

The ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the Chelsea goal, Cudicini reacted quickly, fell to the ground and pounced to block the ball with his hands, but Chelsea failed to watch Villa in the penalty area, almost everyone was watching Alonso's long-range shot, only Villa quietly ran from the back line to the goal into the small penalty area, his follow-up was not in vain, maybe he would follow up like this 10 times, but it was this one that paid off, and this time, it allowed him to seize the opportunity to go to the next city!

"Villa shot the ball into the goal, 3:1, Millwall almost sealed the win, Chelsea can't play like this, it's really not good, if the shrinking back line can break Millwall with a long pass attack, then Millwall would have been beaten to a thousand holes. With three attacking players up front, Chelsea's defence could not be perfect, the back line and the back line, one of the two, they chose to strengthen the back line, the last gate of the defense, so Millwall created a long-range shot on the perimeter to threaten the Chelsea goal, if it wasn't for Cudicini's bravery, Chelsea's third goal would not have come so late. ”

Seeing his team score the third goal, Aldridge laughed, then waved his hand and withdrew!

With less than 20 minutes left and two goals ahead, why can't Millwall take it back and hit your counter-attack when they can play a long counter-attack after defending?

When Ranieri saw this, he probably thought the same as Lexach: shameless!

Perhaps in their hearts, Millwall is the king, the most awesome team, should be a good to the end, from the first minute to the ninetieth minute non-stop attack, pressing the attack, brandishing a butcher's knife in the first line of crazy slashing opponents! (To be continued......)
