258 Stamford Bridge tragedy
Chelsea had to kick off again in the centre circle in less than two minutes, and the boys were down before they could get hot and it was a terrible start.
When Gianfranco Gianfranco played the ball to Di Matteo again, Chelsea's formation began to press forward and when they fell behind, they had to score to chase the score back, which was normal thinking.
As a result of their midfielder running forward and Di Matteo was tangled up by Nedved, he was looking for a spot ahead, but his team-mates were being targeted, so he had to pass the ball back.
"Bad pass! Di Matteo didn't pay attention to the situation behind him, his return pass was weak and weak, and was cut off by Larsson in the middle, Larsson moved sideways with the ball, Trezeguet pulled out the catch in front of the penalty area, Shevchenko cut inside, Larsson passed, he handed the ball to Ballack who assisted behind him, and there was a large undefended area between the Chelsea back line and the midfield line! ”
Chelsea were attacking and the midfielders were all over the halfway line, but Di Matteo's return pass pitted the whole team, the midfield and the defenders were disjointed, and Millwall quickly organised the attack.
Ballack strode forward with the ball, and unstoppable he didn't gently pick up the ball until he came to the penalty area with the ball, and the ball flew diagonally to the back of the box.
The attacking players in the middle were all targeted by Chelsea's central three defenders.
But it's still leaking!
Nedved raced forward the moment Di Matteo's return pass was wrong, accelerating all the way into the box without hesitation.
The moment Ballack passed the ball, Nedved just passed Duberry, and it was impossible to be offside because there was Leboeuf in front of him. But Leboeuf moved to the other side to guard against Shevchenko.
The Czechs leap high to meet the ball. I push forward with my head strongly. The ball flies straight into the corner of the goal after impact.
Dutch international De Juye sighed at the ball, staggered a few steps back under his feet, and leaned on the net to stabilize his center of gravity.
Leboeuf was so mad that he pointed at Clark and pointed at Nedved's goal, yelling, "You should come over and fill in the position!" ”
Clark looked annoyed and had nowhere to vent his anger.
Malegobi's, to put it mildly, you try to play full-back, with the opposing full-back attacking on one side and the winger cutting inside on the other. Both sides have to be taken into account, and now even the opposing midfielder has to be inserted by fullbacks to fill the position, how much does Lao Tzu earn in a year
Nedved scored and waved to all his teammates who ran towards him.
When everyone ran up to him and wanted to hug him, he smiled and asked, "Where is the leader?" ”
Larsson pointed in the direction of the stands on the other side of Aldridge's box, and Nedved beckoned everyone to run with him.
Below the stands were Chelsea fans, who thought they were here to provoke the rivals, and they all stood up and shouted angrily.
Nedved and his teammates fought in a row, and then everyone put away the smiles on their faces, and in unison, they held their heads high and saluted with their heads held high with solemn faces.
Chelsea fans wilted, and even they admitted in their hearts: the opposite team is too enviable! Unite. Strong, handsome and handsome. This is the master!
"Oh roar, De Hooye, who kept three clean sheets in the first five league games, was penetrated twice in less than five minutes of the game today, although the second goal came from Chelsea's own mistakes, but we can see that in the last stroke, Millwall's two goal routines are the same, three forwards run to attract the defense in a short period of time, two midfielders cut in at high speed, an assist, and a surprise appearance in front of the goal to complete the goal, of course, Chelsea lost the ball in front of the penalty area too much, No one was interfering with Ballack, he was very comfortable with the ball to Nedved and now they are greeting Hall in the box after the goal, this is Millwall, the Lions! ”
After scoring the second goal, Aldridge stood up directly in the box, raising his fists in a look of defiance.
As the players saluted in unison on the sidelines below the stands, Aldridge softened and clapped and smiled at Evan with an intoxicated smile.
Aldrich said in his heart: I know the way, I know the way, you can do it, you are the best!
There's nothing more exciting about a player being able to execute on the manager's tactical intentions and do it better than expected.
It was a sense of accomplishment, an indescribable pleasure.
But first of all, it is this group of players who have the ability to do this, otherwise, to give Aldridge a bunch of rotten wood lumps, even if the manager has a varied tactical system, it will not be able to play the most basic effect.
What pleased him the most was the forward trident, which scored almost 100 goals in all competitions last season, and all three players had the most valuable sacrifice spirit of the stars, they used their running positions to cover their teammates who came in behind, and they did a tacit understanding of attracting defenders in their runs.
If it were Millwall last season, the ball would have been three strikers attacking the opposition defence from three directions, but today the three of them tore through the backline, consciously pulling the Chelsea defence to one side and creating a gap for the other, and Millwall's attacking strategy was also changed.
In the past, it was from the back to the front, everyone did their own thing, the defender gave the midfielder, the midfielder gave the striker, and the striker came to score.
But after a new round of revamping, Millwall's attacking routine has become more varied, with forwards beginning to form a cover for the midfield, midfielders are more composed and calm when they pass forward, and full-backs are no longer the usual way to find strikers as a finishing point.
Chelsea were completely stunned.
Ruud Gullit's face on the sidelines and Chelsea are now two goals down, so what should the team do?
Let's attack, play their original "sexy football".
However, the rest of the game was completely controlled by Millwall, and Chelsea's original starting formation was defensive, taking the initiative to attack and not being able to gain the upper hand in the midfield area, which made their attack difficult.
Millwall, on the other hand, was unleashed their attacking firepower when their opponents were no longer the tight-knit defenders of the second half.
Twenty-eighth minute of the first half. Millwall launched another quick counterattack.
Nedved drops back to receive the ball and gives it to Ballack, who is inserted. The strikers are running again. This time Leboeuf was smarter, he was no longer looking at the situation inside the box, but more on the movement of the opponent's players outside the box.
Ballack moves sideways with the ball and then crosses long over the top.
Shevchenko started in the top corner of the penalty area, Le Sox and Babayaro caught him, but the ball went over their heads, and when the ball landed near the bottom line of the box, the Chelsea defenders looked at the man who stopped in that position in disbelief: Schneider!
Strikers don't just cover for midfielders. It also attracted defensive strength for full-backs.
Schneider took the ball on the baseline, when the Chelsea defense was shocked, the marking was out of the hole, Schneider knocked on the door, although Trezeguet was closely marked by Leboeugh, but Larsson, who emerged from behind Trezeguet, stabbed the ball into the near corner of the goal with his toes, and Duberry, who was chasing Larsson all the way, knocked Leboeuf and Trezeguet directly to the ground.
Chelsea had a flip in front of goal, but the ball had already been scored.
Larsson laughed and ran backwards after scoring a goal, sticking out his big tongue
Gullit went crazy and roared angrily at the players. Then he began to make substitutions.
'What is Chelsea doing? Substitutions in less than thirty minutes? Gurlitt is slapping himself! ”
"No way, Martin. Like you said, in less than 30 minutes, Chelsea are already three goals down, Gullit can no longer use a back five, anyway, this line-up will definitely be bombarded after the game, he himself realized that it was a mistake, and used substitutions to correct his pre-game mistakes, even if he can't save the game, but if he can score one or two goals, then he won't be under too much pressure after the game. ”
'But I don't think Chelsea can score goals by taking one less defender and replacing them with a striker, so what if they concede more goals?'
'Mark Hughes replaces youngster Barbayaro, Leboeuf will be transformed from a sweeper to one of two centre-backs and Chelsea are back in their previous 442 formation. Eh, the youngster Babayaro and Ruud Gullit had an argument and I understand that the player was not injured and was substituted in less than 30 minutes, and it happened in such a high-profile game, which would be humiliating for the player. ”
Gullit also wanted to shake hands with the other party and comfort the other party when Babayaro came off the field.
But Babayaro didn't give the pigtail handsome face at all, and yelled at the other party excitedly: "If you don't trust me, don't me to play!" ”
Gullit also countered: "The team conceded three goals, how do you make me trust? ”
"Don't try to put the blame for conceding the ball on me! It's your terrible tactical set-up that's wrong! Shit-like tactical set-up! ”
Barbayaro excitedly argued with Gullitt on the sidelines, and the assistant coach had to come out and drag the players into the tunnel, and Gullit's face was extremely ugly.
And Ruud Gullit's substitution also made the Chelsea players unhappy.
It's not that there's anything wrong with replacing Bayaro.
When the team is behind, they want to attack, remove a defender, and let the formation return to their usual 442, which everyone thinks is a matter of course.
But it was 34-year-old Mark Hughes who was replaced for something.
Whether it was training or limited appearances, Vialli, who scored a lot of goals, was still put on the bench.
Not only within Chelsea, but also outside the world know that Daugullit and Vialli are at odds, but at this time, his team-mates want Vialli to come on the pitch to help the team.
At least when attacking, there are three Italian combinations in the frontcourt, Di Matteo, Zola, and Vialli.
Ruud Gullit's substitution caused controversy and sparked dissatisfaction among the players.
This time, Chelsea's morale was even lower after the substitution.
Just ten minutes later, Shevchenko was brought down by Leboeuf in the box and the referee awarded a penalty.
There was silence in the stands at Stamford Bridge, and the fans were numb and did not protest the referee's decision.
Originally, Millwall led by three goals, if it were not a particularly obvious foul, the referee would definitely not blow the penalty, but Koleboeuf knocked Shevchenko directly from behind when he obviously couldn't get the ball, he didn't even touch the ball, and if the referee didn't blow the penalty, it would be too much.
Larsson took the penalty and it was struck in one fell swoop.
Millwall's players came to the visitors' stands and danced rhythmically from side to side in celebration.
Lions fans also twisted their bodies and danced in the stands to the movements of the players, and today was undoubtedly a game for the fans to enjoy.
Gurlitt sat back with his face in his hands, as if on the verge of giving up.
Before half-time, the fourth goal had been scored and the fans in the Stamford Bridge stands had begun to line up and leave the pitch in silence.
I can't stand it at all!
At half-time, Rafael Benitez used up two substitutions.
Glen Schal replaces Larsson and Neal replaces Zambrotta.
Millwall began to play back in the second half and Chelsea were crushed by a counter-attack by Millwall's defence.
By the time the final whistle blew, the stands at Stamford Bridge were already empty.
Among the fans who remained in the stands, many were angry and shouted for Gullit to get out, and some hid their faces and cried.
There is a bloody score on the scoreboard.
0:7。
International practice, the home team in front.
Millwall created the Stamford Bridge tragedy that shocked English football. (To be continued......)
