Thank you for the rewards of "Thief Death", "Qingqing Little Wolf" and "Dao Chong is not profitable"! ――

Chelsea have received unprecedented attention, and the outside world is watching this team coldly, and if they succeed, there will be many people who will slip away and even wash their faith and join the Blues, and if they fail, there will be merciless ridicule and falling stones.

The reality in front of Chelsea's squad is simple: proof.

Prove that you are not greedy for money.

Prove that you are worthy of the high transfer price.

Prove it to my boss and I'll get paid more in my next contract!

More importantly, prove to the world: we will succeed!

Millwall and Chelsea both started when it began to rain lightly, a little lighter than it had been two hours earlier, and the TV viewers watching the live footage would not even notice the rain.

The players on both sides are majestic, and a big battle is about to break out.

"In the first round of the 2003-2004 English Premier League, the London derby was passionately staged, and the Premier League upstart Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge to face the Premier League giants Millwall. Chelsea, on the other hand, are only fourth in the league rankings after a heavy recruitment spree this season. ”

"These are not enough factors to consider, you must know that Millwall were also the favourites to win the title last year, whether it was the Premier League or the Champions League, but they failed to win the trophy. Martin. Who do you think has the better chance of winning this game? ”

"There's no doubt about Millwall. Even though they were guests. But Millwall have never been beaten at Stamford Bridge over the years, and Chelsea have looked strong this season, but I think there will be a lot of problems within them, new managers, new players, will there be a lot of cohesion in the dressing room? Right. Cohesion, I have to focus on this, the cohesion of a team is very important, and cohesion often needs a fulcrum, such as national cohesion, national cohesion, and the cohesion of a team may not be the club, which is more deeply reflected in Millwall. Because their players are not predominantly homegrown in England, they are the fulcrum of cohesion. It was their manager, Sir Aldridge Hall, who made everyone in the team centripetal, and because of this, the same team, led by Klinsmann and led by Sir Hall, the gap is obvious. ”

"Shouldn't there be a gap? The coaching level of the two has long been determined. ”

"There is definitely a gap, but the gap is too big, as Jennings analysed the Premier League teams at the end of the season and argued that Millwall's failure last season was a problem with team cohesion, not a tactical issue that the media has been talking about. After Sir Hall's return, Millwall played eight games, 7-1, and came close to a comeback, which was unimaginable when Klinsmann left class. So I think that the new season Millwall is only one step away from the previous peak, but this step is very critical, go up, Millwall will create a new dynasty, after all, they have so many young talents in the team, but if they can't go up, hehehe, Sir Hall may also be dangerous, because the team cohesion will decline, the times are different, and it is too difficult for Millwall to have the next club that never asks for a salary increase to sign a contract extension, Southgate, Larsson, Schneider and others. In that case, Millwall would truly fall from the fantasy level to the mortal world. ”

"What you say is a bit far away, and it may be a season or two before we can confirm your prophecy today. Now let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides, hehehe, Chelsea also played 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Cudicini.

Defenders: Johnson, Terry, Desailly, Bridge.

Midfielders: Geremi, Makelele, Veron.

Forwards: Gudjohnsen, Crespo, Duff.

Millwall, for their part, unsurprisingly continue the 433 system they have been unbeatable in European football over the past few seasons.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.

Can a Chelsea infused with a lot of energy overturn Millwall at Stamford Bridge and crush their dominance for nearly a decade? Let's wait and see! ”

The 433 is the most successful technical and tactical formation in European football in recent years.

Ajax was the first and the Millwall dynasty ruled later.

When people talk about the overlord Millwall, the 433 of attacking football is talked about.

So, many times, it is preached in reverse, 433 represents offensive football, beautiful football.

This is certainly inappropriate, but in most mainstream concepts, using 442 is the mean, pursuing balance, 433 is aggressive, and if it is 451, it seems a bit conservative.

Let's not discuss whether this is or not, it doesn't make much sense, the formation is dead after all, a bunch of boring numbers.

Eriksen himself is not a particularly conservative or inflexible coach, just like when he was at Lazio, he once told reporters that playing 4 and 3 will change according to the opponent, and his unconventional approach to Serie A itself comes from Lazio's attacking frenzy to conquer fans in the era of Serie A's sudden rise.

The first game of the new season was a visit, and Millwall started with a steady start and were not in a hurry to speed up the pace of the game, following the pattern they were familiar with.

They have been feared by their opponents for the past few years, so they have the initiative to control the overall tempo.

This is what Aldridge stressed before the game, not rushing to make a difference away from home, but to observe Chelsea's form.

However, something unexpected happened to Aldrich.

He ignores a reality.

For his part, Chelsea bought Crespo and bought Veron. Duff. Makelle and the others. It's nothing, in this starting lineup, what can really make Aldridge look at it is nothing more than Crespo, Makelele, Terry, only three!

In other words, Millwall vs. Chelsea. There is capital to despise!

Hard power is stronger than you!

But Aldridge's attitude does not affect Chelsea.

In the eyes of the whole Chelsea squad: Am I worse than the Millwall players? What's worse?

Before Abu arrived, they would not have this kind of confidence, because the strength of their whole team is indeed not as good as Millwall, and the gap is very, very obvious.

But now, they look at each other's teammates, and each of them has good strength.

Why should you be afraid of Millwall?

And it's at Stamford Bridge!

As a result, Chelsea did not start the game with the same caution as they did in the past, and did not even give Millwall the opportunity to control the overall tempo.

It's just that in the first 1 minute, Millwall fell to the ground in midfield. Alonso's technical ability has developed to a certain extent, but he is still immature in terms of experience.

Otherwise. He doesn't make two back-and-forth passes to Nedved in a row, and on the first pass, Nedved immediately passes the ball back to Alonso with Makelele watching behind him.

Chelsea's front trident is like a crazy man, and the big contract given by the boss is making his debut today, so he naturally has to fight hard.

Alonso was suddenly a little flustered under the sandwich between Crespo and Veron, probably this was different from the team's expected scene, they should have firmly grasped the ball, but the distance between teammates was not far, not too close, but suddenly, he couldn't find a suitable passing point, let alone dare to stick the ball too much, I have to say that Crespo and Veron, their own fame has a certain influence on the field, Alonso then passed the ball back to the direction of Nedved, Nedved did not receive the ball, Claude Makelele stepped in with precision to intercept the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Makelle dribbled forward and two steps later, seeing that Nedved would catch up with him, Makelle distributed the ball to Veron.

Alonso's inexperienced shortcomings were exposed again, and when he missed the ball, he rushed up to grab the ball in a hurry, wanting to take the ball back as soon as possible, and distanced himself from De Rossi, giving Veron space to get the ball.

Veron won the ball, turned and made a through pass, and Duff, who cut from the side, met the ball in front of the penalty area and shot directly from a distance!

Bout made a brilliant save to block the ball to the other side of the box, Ashley Cole ran to the landing point to clear, but someone was better than him, Gudjohnsen met the bouncing ball in the top corner of the six-yard box line, and the ball flew into the goal!

"Wow, wow! Chelsea take the lead at home! Get off to a dream start! The goal was scored in the second minute, when Duff's long-range shot was saved and Iceland's Gudjohnsen scored from the stoppage! Millwall were behind just in the opener! Could it be that from this game onwards, Chelsea will really declare war on the whole of Europe by stepping on the corpse of Millwall? ”

Stamford Bridge was boiling, Eriksen and everyone on the Chelsea bench, coaches or players, all stood up and applauded, with owner Abou in the stands standing up and laughing and applauding the goal.

On the sidelines, Aldridge snarled at a player on the pitch.

"Harvey, give me a head up! Calm down! Get back into the game! ”

He didn't express his anger at the team, only a cautionary reminder to Alonso.

Because he was very disappointed to see Alonso put his head down when his team conceded a goal.

If he doesn't wake him up at the first time, then Alonso will be immersed in the shadow of his own mistakes in this game.

Aldrich's roar, caught on the live camera.

English football is watching the game today, with Fleet Street being the most excited.

Surely, there is a side where they can fall into the ground.

Or, it's Chelsea who lose.

Or, Millwall, who can't win the game.

So what the result of the game is, it doesn't matter what Fleet Street is, their headlines are prepared early, it's just that who to step on!

Alonso heard Aldridge's roar, and instantly raised his head, his face expressionless, and the negative feelings were swept away, and most of his teammates looked at him lightly, not caring for him like a baby.

Because, Xavi Alonso, you're not young anymore, you're the main force at Millwall, you have a load that you have to shoulder!

If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake, no one will defend you, comfort you and cheer you up, you must overcome all difficulties by your own will!

Atone, learn a lesson, and don't make mistakes again!

A player who makes mistakes in a row, a player who has repeatedly made a loss of interest to the team, is unlikely to gain a foothold in a club like Millwall!

Xavi Alonso, who will be 22 years old in 3 months, is definitely stronger and more mature in technical ability than Pirlo, who just played the main team at Millwall!

But he had a much higher difficulty than Pirlo.

Because Pirlo has already shone in the backstage position, limiting Millwall's role has also become one of the main tasks of the opponent's targeted deployment.

As you can imagine, Pirlo was a novelty back then, and people would wonder what the lad was doing in the area away from the forward midfield.

By the time the outside world figured it out, Pirlo was already in this position, strolling onto the altar of a generation of grandmasters.

Alonso, on the other hand, is under much more pressure than Pirlo.

This is his difficulty and why Pirlo was not yet 18 years old to play in the main team, and he was not until he was 21 years old to be corrected by Aldridge.

Difficulties are like this, there is no place for you to cry out, if you don't overcome difficulties, no one will sympathize with you.

At Stamford Bridge, in the first game of the new season, Millwall was scored first by the opponent in the opening two minutes, and many people have begun to expect: this may be the prelude to the new order in European football, will Chelsea be the vanguard of subverting the old order? Just like Millwall in the summer of '97. (To be continued......)
