Chapter 1149: The first half closes

The opponent of Millwall's make-up is Birmingham. In the past three seasons, Birmingham's record has been stable, ranking in the middle of the Premier League.
Probably with a stable record foundation, Birmingham introduced a lot of players in the new season and reformed within the team. It is estimated that it wants to make a breakthrough in the Premier League. In case it can reach the upper reaches, the qualification for the Champions League is definitely not dare. Think, but if you can enter the League Cup, there must be more sources of benefits for the club.
However, contrary to expectations, Birmingham, which has been stable for the past three years, suddenly ushered in a record decline in the new season. The league is about to exceed half, and they are struggling in the relegation zone.
The stability of a team is most vividly reflected in Birmingham, as the Buddhists said: When a person is on the lotus stand, if you don't move, you are a Buddha, and when you move, you are enchanted!
Anyone who wants to shake the past stable system has to bear great risks, such as the giants, and the small team is no exception.
It is not that vigorously recruiting will definitely increase the strength of the team, even if the visual level of the recruited players is definitely higher than the players to be replaced.
This is the centripetal force of a team and the importance of team stability.
To go deep, vigorously developing the youth training system is also to ensure the stability of the team from the roots.
In the face of such a Birmingham, Millwall's high morale and unity did not give them any chance at home!
The dominating performance of the whole game made Birmingham lose to the Lion King Stadium 0:2. Millwall still has a convergence because of the need to consider the coming Christmas Devil schedule.
At the end of the game, the Lion King Stadium burst into enthusiasm, fans whistle wildly in the stands, applaud, cheer, and even Christmas toy salute was sounded by many fans, colorful small strips fluttering in the wind, pervading the Lion King In the stadium!
"The final game of the 17th round of the Premier League ended. Millwall defeated visiting Birmingham 2-0 at home. Chelsea, who had just returned to the top of the standings, slipped second in the standings again, and compared with the previous round. The situation of Millwall's goal difference after the same point only, now, Chelsea are behind to give Millwall 2 points! I want to end at the end of the fifth round of the Premier League, Chelsea lead the defending champion with 9 points, after 12 rounds, Mill Wall strongly reversed Chelsea. In the 12 rounds, he scored 11 points more than Chelsea, almost 1 point more than his opponents per round! The Premier League’s suspense must still exist, predicting the future trend, and the situation in front of Chelsea is even worse. , Not only will there be a psychological blow, but in January, they will face the difficulty of going to the African Cup, Millwall is like a rainbow, the invincible mad lion is waking up on the throne for twelve points, any Those who try to provoke this lion must work harder!"
...
Christmas is here.
This year, the family members of the Hall family traveled back to East London for a grand family gathering.
Aldrich and his elder brother Barnett, second brother Andrew looked at the children in a room in Arthur's house, they could not help but sigh the time is running, everyone is in a family, Arthur and Amelia are the happiest, It's full of children and grandchildren.
The Millwall Club carefully prepared Christmas gifts for the players. During this year, no players got a holiday. Holidays were held on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. On the 26th, they not only had to play but also went away.
The morale of the team is so high that no player is slack at this time. Even in previous years, C Ronaldo will show fatigue and suggest that he needs to rest and relax. He has become a training model for the team and is more diligent than others at this time.
Millwall guest challenged Wigan Athletic.
Wigan Athletic's team style in the Premier League this season is wide open, either win or lose, Millwall plays stable on the road, but instead Wigan Athletic seems to be not focused enough at home and Millwall is on the road Beat 3-1.
In the same round, Chelsea beat Fulham 3:2 at Stamford Bridge. Despite the victory, the gap with Millwall was still 2 points.
This is very unfavorable for Chelsea, because three days later, Chelsea will be a guest at the Lion King Stadium, ushering in the first direct dialogue between the popular teams this season!
After Millwall returned to East London from the away, the club had a Christmas dinner, which was regarded as a holiday to give players some entertainment and relaxation.
The players who brought their family members to the Christmas dinner became the focus of the media. Their dress, female companions, and even family members and children were very interested in the outside world.
On December 29, the Premier League work schedule ended, although this is not the annual final, because on the last day of the year, on the 31st, there is a league.
Millwall was at home to wait for the visit of the enemy Blue Chelsea.
When the Chelsea bus drove from West London to East London, the Chelsea bus was quiet.
Mourinho was sitting by the window and meditating. The quietness inside Chelsea seems to be a good thing, but in fact this kind of quietness is moving towards death.
The so-called sorrow is greater than death.
Did they not perform well enough?
No, after 18 rounds, 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, 43 points, it is very good.
Millwall is only 2 more points than them.
But simply looking at points does not make much sense. To combine this development process, Chelsea can be said to be chased by 11 points in 2 months, which will inevitably affect their internal morale.
When Chelsea led by Mourinho encountered the British anti-counterfeit with a 4321 extreme anti-snap formation, the gap between Chelsea and Millwall was not only weakly reflected in the points, but became clear at a glance. The gap was huge.
Chelsea is not home because of intensive defense. Although Mourinho has repeatedly criticized his opponent for swinging the bus, but it does not help, their opponents will stand up and mock Mourinho: What about your team? Since the beginning of last season, anti-anti-play, especially after leading the game time! What is the qualification for such a utilitarian style to blame us?
The team inevitably produced some discordant disturbances. For example, Ribery made some complaints to the media because he wanted to usurp power and stabilize his main position, and then Mourinho was sent to the cold palace. Now It seems that the transfer window in winter will send Ribery away.
When the bus drove into the Lion King Stadium, Mourinho recovered from his contemplation.
His expression changed, and he got into the car with energy, and he knew in his heart that this season's Premier League title belongs to this battle today!
At least he thinks so.
If Chelsea can beat Millwall on the road today and score points ahead of their opponents, this positive influence will make Chelsea firmly hold the advantage and maintain it until the end of the season. After all, the second half of the season is at Stamford Bridge.
But if Chelsea can't win, Mourinho doesn't quite believe that Millwall will make a mistake in the second half of the season. After all, Millwall has struggled to chase Chelsea from 9 points behind to 2 points today, with a kingly temperament. Lion, the more you pay, the more you will get!
When Mourinho walked into the stadium, he saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines and calmly looked at the stadium. He didn't know what he was looking at. Mourinho turned his gaze and walked to the visiting team's coach seat. Fans ridiculed him so much, boos burst, Mourinho ignored all this, quietly waiting for the game to begin.
Millwall and Chelsea players lined up in the player channel. They did not communicate with each other. It seems that as long as they meet in the green field, they are destined to stay together.
Starting from the sixth round of the league, Millwall has played 13 consecutive victories in the league. It can be said that the momentum is rainbow and no one can stop it. It is difficult to say how great spiritual stimulation this streak will form for this king’s teacher. Most of them may take it for granted. The self-confidence momentum is different and extraordinary.
Under the leadership of the referee team, players from both teams entered the battlefield!
"The first round of the Premier League's 19th round is about to start. The defending champion Millwall sits at home against his city rival Chelsea. This game is very important as the final half of the league. Although the Premier League has never cared about the half-time champion, Mill Wall and Chelsea are two teams that are extremely eye-catching. They want to compete for the championship. Each point is extremely precious. Millwall scored 14 points, 3 draws and 1 loss with 45 points. Chelsea have one less victory than Millwall. , An average of one more game, with 43 points, this is only 18 rounds of league data, if the same performance in the second half, we can almost be sure that both teams have the opportunity to break the league points 90 points mark, which shows that the Premier League The competition is already very different from the past, as Ferguson said many years ago: in the past, teams with more than 80 points have a high probability of winning the league championship, but now, 90 points may only be the runner-up. Wrong, Manchester United scored more than 90 points one season, but eventually lost to Millwall!"
"This is the key point of this game. For the two teams, 1 point is particularly valuable, not to mention today's 6-point battle! Let's take a look at the starting list of both sides.
Millwall started 433.
Goalkeeper: Bute.
Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.
Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.
Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.
Chelsea started 433.
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Guards: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.
Midfielders: Makelele, Essien, Lampard.
Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Joe Cole. "
Chelsea boss Abu also came to the VIP box of the Lion King Stadium to watch the game today.
To his dissatisfaction, Shevchenko and Barak can only sit on the bench.
Mourinho's internal explanation is that in January we will temporarily lose Drogba and Essien, and by then Shevchenko and Barak will play an important role.
Abu is increasingly bleak about the prospects of the league championship.
January?
It may be January.
Mourinho, no matter what you do, it is impossible for the league champion to come to Stamford Bridge!
