Chapter 1060: The most critical season

The Chelsea people all know that if they lose 1-2 at home and go to the Lion King Stadium in the next round, even if they actually create a miracle on the road, they will defeat Millwall 1-0, but they still cannot advance!
Chelsea crowds, who have smashed their eyes, will understand the seriousness of the situation and bite hard to fight, but when time is running out, their overall formation cannot be kept close and consistent.
When the last minute of injury stoppage time arrived, Schneider displayed a mid-to-long distance pass on the backcourt. The ball flew towards the midfield, Nedved rushed forward, headed for the ball, and the small Ronaldo stopped the ball in the frontcourt. He drew away Essien while accelerating forward. Essien's up-and-down motion made him lose his center of gravity. That difference in rhythm made Ronaldinho's breakthrough.
After the completion of the game, the frontcourt situation suddenly became wider, Ronaldinho simply over the top and a straight plug, Larson, who came off the bench, cut into the penalty area from the right and completely opened Chelsea's entire defense line!
However, Larson's stop was not perfect, and when he had full control of the ball, he had come close to the baseline.
The veteran has a calm mind and won't rush.
Instead, Chelsea's defenders flocked to grab, Henry, who was outsourcing in the middle, and Ronaldo, who was cut on the other side, were closely followed by Chelsea players, and the Chelsea door was full of people.
When Terry and Ashley Cole came to snatch, Larson passed the ball to the top of the arc.
Following up, Ronaldinho hit the ball and hit the ball angrily!
This ball did not have the effect of blasting the world wave, but after hitting Carvalho's leg and refracting, it bounced into Chelsea's goal!
Cech himself flew in the right direction, but Carvalho stretched his leg, and God couldn't help him!
After scoring, Ronaldinho took off his jersey and ran to the corner. All Millwall players rushed over. Aldridge also left the coach and ran away!
At Stamford Bridge, the host was silent on the fans' stands, while the visiting fans were slightly agitated in excitement.
"3:1, Millwall got a very good result on the road, we can understand why Sir Hall will rush to celebrate when Ronaldinho scored the team's third goal, not just against the enemy. Morale, he also understands that the 3-1 score is enough to kill Chelsea! Unless Chelsea can score at least 3 goals in the Lion King Stadium! Even if the next round, Chelsea beat Millwall at 2:0 away, they Will be eliminated!"
Millwall celebrated the goal close to the stands of the visiting team fans. After hugging and celebrating with the players, Odric continued to raise his hands and signaled that the crazy lion fans would create some momentum!
Come again!
Bigger!
Tell Stamford Bridge who is the king of London!
After Chelsea reopened the ball, Millwall defended their attack and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals came to an end. Millwall defeated Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and stepped into the quarterfinals threshold with one foot.
After the game, Aldridge and Mourinho still did not shake hands.
In an interview, Aldrich and Mourinho expressed their "suggestion" on the same issue.
Mourinho insisted that the referee changed the direction of the game. Kaka should not take a penalty for the ball. It was because of the loss of the ball that Chelsea were at an absolute disadvantage. In themselves, they took the lead in dropping the ball. Not enough to determine the overall trend of the game.
Aldrich attacked Mourinho's words and deeds.
"My player was violated and injured. Even if I watched the video a hundred times, it was definitely a foul and there was no dispute about penalty kicks, but Chelsea's coach accused my player of falling, which is unreasonable. Millwall will also lose, and will face an unfavorable situation, but when we fail, we will not shirk the blame. When we were eliminated in the League Cup, did we say anything? We lost to Lever in Germany. I was applauding for Leverkusen when I was at Coosen. They performed better than us. Their fighting spirit was stronger than us in that game. Our attitude towards the game is that we must not only work hard to win the game, but also win the respect of our opponents. Obviously, today’s situation is reversed, and we have encountered a lack of respect, so we should express our dissatisfaction!"
When commenting on this game, Fleet Street vaguely began to draw conclusions about the performance of Chelsea this season, as well as the achievements of this phase of Chelsea construction.
Barnes wrote in a column comment: Chelsea completed a major blood exchange this season. In fact, such a blood exchange is too frequent for a club. Their main lineup last season was a combination of old and new, but this season, There was another large-scale replacement, and only the signing expenditure was calculated. Chelsea paid more than 300 million pounds. If you include player signing fees, salaries, bonuses and other expenses, Chelsea's lineup of team construction in two years , Invested nearly 500 million pounds!
However, Chelsea still cannot shake Mirwall's dominance, which is not far from the goal of Russian rich Abramovich, yes, not far away!
The league is 4 points behind Millwall. If it is not against Millwall in the Champions League, Chelsea have the strength to believe that they can go further. If they will complete the overturn in the second leg of the Champions League, then that game will definitely become One of the most shocking games in the Champions League in the last decade, because apart from Chelsea fans, no one believes that they can beat the king Millwall on the road.
Returning to the topic, it is possible to foresee Chelsea’s future positioning. It is impossible for them to complete a new major exchange in the next season, or two years later. This is against the rules of football club management, because the cost is too high, Abu is rich, but unless he Loss of reason, otherwise burn more than 1 billion pounds in Chelsea in two or three years, he will become the laughing stock of the football circle, if there is the next blood exchange, who can guarantee that Chelsea can turn a step away from the goal into a positive result? This is where the cruelty of competitive sports lies. The runner-up and the champion are only a little bit closer, but that little distance is one on the throne, one, forgotten by the world, and almost not much different from other losers.
Moreover, if Chelsea continue to exchange blood on a large scale, this will cause great harm to Chelsea's image. If Chelsea wants to exchange blood, it must inevitably deal with the players in the current formation. Then, what the outside world has become hot becomes a reality: Chelsea It's Abu's toy, and even the players are toys.
They can be tempted by money, or they can be swept away because of their boss' disappointment.
So, how many players in the world are willing to go to Chelsea?
The sensible Chelsea management understands that they have entered a stable construction track, the stability of the player lineup, and the stability of the club's development direction.
This is undoubtedly good news for Millwall.
After suppressing Chelsea this season, they built enough confidence. Before the start of the season, I wrote in the column that the biggest test for Millwall was this season. Once Chelsea overturned the rule, The Premier League in the future will become very chaotic, not as orderly as it used to be, because there is a ruler here: Mad Lion.
The criticism of Chelsea coach Mourinho is unfair. Indeed, Mourinho is a topical figure. He has caused a lot of controversy, including the elimination of public statements in Barcelona. He made many people unhappy, but set aside After the cloud and fog, you will find that he has become a controversial figure with his personal prominence, and then put all the pressure on his shoulders. Otherwise, Chelsea cannot follow Millwall in the Premier League so steadily.
If we look back on Sir Hall’s coaching career, we will find that he is similar to Mourinho. In the early days of his coaching, taking the game he coached for the first show as an example, he had a verbal conflict with his opponent’s coach as soon as he appeared. So that he became particularly prominent. In the eleventh year of coaching, Sir Hall would no longer do this, not because he became noble, but because he did not need any voice, he was the focus, all There are countless eyes in the world watching him, or admiring him, or looking forward to his failure and seeing his ugly play.
This made me feel a little sorry for Mourinho. If he started coaching ten years ago, he and Sir Hall met in the arena. I am afraid that the two young handsomes will not have such a clear gap now. It's not too long to ignore Mourinho's true pick-up, nor can he ignore the experience that Sir Hall has accumulated over more than a decade.
Now Millwall is like Manchester United in the 96/97 season. At that time, Manchester United’s 92 class had just picked up the girders. They had just won the Premier League championship under Cantona. If in the 96/97 season, Manchester United can defend the title successfully, perhaps That would change Millwall’s development trajectory. Manchester United failed to suppress Millwall. Now, it is Millwall’s turn to suppress Chelsea. The final result of this season will have a huge impact on the future Premier League pattern. Chelsea only got An insignificant League Cup, the FA Cup is prematurely out, the Champions League is now at the juncture of life and death, personally believe that Chelsea should set the final goal in the league, the final sprint, at the end of this month, Stamford Bridge will also usher in the league battle .
The miracle needs to be fought. If Chelsea can stage a miracle of reversal in the league this season, then this miracle will bring them a positive impact for at least 5 years!
...
Already at the end of the season, Barnes's column was "outdated" in Aldridge's mind. Before the start of the season, although he told Millwall players not to be disturbed by the outside world, his goal was to surpass himself.
But his heart is very clear, one of the goals of this season is to suppress Chelsea!
Because Chelsea has great potential!
Their lineup strength has not reached its peak, there are many reasons to promote a team to advance rapidly, one of the important points is success!
Failure is the mother of success?
It may be right to put it elsewhere. In the football world, there are not many examples of shame and courage, but most teams are stable and strong, and they all come from success, not failure.
Failure will catalyze the outbreak of many hidden negative factors. On the contrary, success will inject "stimulant" into a team.
Don't let Chelsea look up!
