Chapter 1168: The most difficult situation

Millwall has not faced such a densely defended team, and even the opponents gave up the offense and all retreated to the scene of defensive swings inside and outside the penalty area. They also encountered.
However, this is not a comparison of defensive numbers, but defensive quality!
Most teams with coaches are underdogs, and the strong teams still have to be a little bit face.
So those weak teams with big buses do not have players like Makelele, Essien, Barack, Lampard.
Chelsea said today that it is 442, a detailed score, more like 4312.
Only the defensive system is very similar to the 4321 when Aldridge led England to win the World Cup.
But in terms of defensive quality, Chelsea is now stronger than the England team that year!
At that time, the four main players of the England team were defensive players: Bart, Beckham, Lampard, Scholes.
Compared with today's Chelsea midfielder four team, one-on-one defense, Chelsea players won steadily!
Coupled with the tacit understanding between the club players, the effect of the combination of the defender line system is expanded. Chelsea's defense is tough and solid, and it does not come out of thin air.
How to predict the formation of opponents before the game, it is always necessary to observe when the game starts.
Aldrich's on-the-spot command is rarely rushed to make decisions. As the coach, he needs to gather information, read the game to gain insight into his opponents, and also observe his team's status.
It has been 10 minutes since Chelsea scored, and Millwall, despite overwhelming half-hearted attack, was always unable to successfully push the attack into the opponent's dangerous zone.
Too many people!
Too dense.
Henry had nothing to do, and it was difficult to catch the ball. Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were also restricted to break through on the wing.
Aldrich thought attentively, his brain was running fast, flat, three-dimensional, and even habitually to create a global view overlooking the sky and capture the details on the court.
Chelsea's counterattack is becoming more and more threatening, and it is related to Millwall's aggressive attack.
This is also the normal situation on the football field. If the offense cannot be scored, the team will subconsciously accumulate the number of offenses, even if they themselves do not realize that there will be more and more players attacking together at the same time. After all, there may be In addition to the central defender and goalkeeper, most of the other players are not purely defensive, but only the offensive enthusiasm. The number of forward activities is different from the number of times. For some teams with unique play styles, the central defender will also participate in positional battles. attack.
After 35 minutes of the game, Aldridge frowned and pondered. He collected enough information, and now he had to sort it out, and then figured out the way to deal with it, so that the team could make a significant change in the scene.
The current advantage of the scene is false, but it seems that Millwall is in possession of the ball, but can not advance the attack to a dangerous zone, then this advantage is an illusion.
While he was pondering, Chelsea hit another counterattack. Ronaldo was cutting in on the right and was blocked by Ashley Cole. It was clear that Ronaldo was also anxious.
Ashley Cole made a short pass with Terry after stealing the ball. He pulled away to the side and then passed the ball forward.
Lampard received the ball in the midfield area and turned around, before Alonso and Kaka grabbed the ball and crossed the ball to the right.
Robben stopped here and then went to the middle again. In order to avoid his long shot again, De Rossi moved forward two steps to expand the defensive area. If necessary, he would take the initiative to step forward and intercept.
Robben passed this time in advance!
His passing ball was passed to the outer area of ​​the small penalty area inside the penalty area. Drogba took the lead between Nesta and Silva.
At this time, Bout attacked!
If Drogba is heading for a goal, he has no chance!
But he just took the lead and stood back against Millwall's goal, relying on his strong body to take the lead, and headed back when the ball fell!
Bout didn't hit the ball when he attacked, Drogba's ball back out of the penalty area.
De Rossi shoveled out as he gritted his teeth to chase the ball, he had to do it!
Because on the route where the ball bounced back, there was a Chelsea player who was catching up quickly, and it seemed to be a long shot!
De Rossi's tackle is not to rush, but to block the far-ray path and block the ball!
The Chelsea players who rushed up did not shoot long, but instead dunked the ball laterally.
De Rossi almost slipped from the front half of the ball, his eyes full of shock and fear!
After the other side detained De Rossi, the shovel came and shot with a kick!
The ball dangled towards Millwall's goal, but Bout went back after the attack and couldn't catch it!
The ball slowly fell into the goal!
There was a shocking scene at the France Stadium.
Millwall fans were stunned in the stands. If they were struck by a sunny day, they didn’t believe the sight at all!
Chelsea fans are crazy like magic, jumping up and down the stands as if a riot is brewing!
Mourinho rushed out of the coach's seat and slid into the court with his knees. His arms continued to vibrate on both sides of the body. There was no smile on his face, but it was a kind of daunting after years of grievances and finally turning over!
"Balak scored Chelsea's second goal! He calmly controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and deceived De Rossi who shoveled to block his long shot, but Bout made another major mistake! His attack was too rash Well, Barak was given a chance to shoot the goal! But from Chelsea’s point of view, the goal was wonderful and the counterattack was amazingly fast! Three passes and two passes pushed the offense to the frontcourt, simple play, But received the best return! 2:0, Chelsea are moving towards their first Champions League championship in history!"
It's nothing to fall behind by one goal, and two goals behind, it's nothing at ordinary times.
But on the stage of the Champions League, Millwall players can't help but panic!
Before the game, everyone knew that this was Millwall's second chance to win three consecutive Champions League titles and an unprecedented chance for the Champions League seven crown to come to the Lion King Stadium.
This is positive, but it is also an invisible pressure!
They looked subconsciously to the sidelines and set their sights on the man who gave the team the soul and flesh: Aldridge.
Butt was ashamed. The first goal lost made him very blameful and unavoidably nervous. He had no excuse for making a mistake this time.
But when everyone turned their eyes to Aldridge, they saw that their heads were still standing on the sidelines, holding their chins up and holding their chins, and their expressions were unhurried. He raised his left hand and made a downward pressure, slowly. An action, as if it had invisible power, dispelled the panic and nervousness of the players!
Then, Aldridge made another gesture, a gesture of tactical change.
The offense is reduced!
The team changed from offensive to balanced.
The players were puzzled.
Aldridge looks chaotic, but why did the team retreat when the team needed to score the most? Isn't it even more impossible to score?
They have doubts, but they will not disobey Aldrich's orders.
What the boss said, just do it.
Aldrich has his own considerations.
Chelsea's team morale is now strong, plus it will end in less than 10 minutes in the first half. If Millwall is attacked more aggressively, Chelsea may be scored by counterattack before the end of work. ball!
If the third goal is lost, Millwall's Champions League final may be completely out of play.
Aldridge mocked Chelsea on many occasions and ignored Mourinho, but it does not mean that he denied the strength of Chelsea.
Moreover, utilitarians like Mourinho expect Chelsea to take the initiative when they lead, which is not realistic at all. Reference to them will kill time by one goal in the league. It really makes them three goals ahead. Chelsea may not only Will delay the time, and will use lying grass tactics.
The Millwall fans in the stands issued a passionate cheer after a brief silence.
In the most difficult moment of the team, they want to play the role of the team's 12th person!
Mourinho and Chelsea players did not expect that Millwall actually fell behind two goals, instead of investing more in the offense, but based on control, slowly attacking, patiently looking for opportunities, without obvious emptiness, he would not penetrate the danger. zone.
To be honest, Mourinho really wanted to take advantage of Millwall's brain fever to rush to equalize the score and let Chelsea add one more person in the counterattack!
It can be seen that Millwall controlled the game so much that he didn't rush into the offense, he immediately dismissed the idea.
The advantage of 2 goals is an advantage that is difficult for all teams in Europe against Millwall!
Throughout the first half, Chelsea's defense was very successful. Mourinho believes that as long as such tactics are adhered to, Chelsea can limit Millwall's goals in 90 minutes and then win the supreme big ear cup!
"At the end of the first half of the game, the trend of this Champions League peak was unexpected. Chelsea led the defending champion Millwall with a goal of Drogba and Barack 2:0. On the scene, Millwall did not have much. The threatening shot, Chelsea's targeted restriction on Millwall was very successful today. If this situation is maintained, it may be difficult for Millwall to equalize the score."
Aldridge turned his head toward the player channel when the midfield whistle sounded. He didn't go to the locker room for the first time. He planned to give the players some time to calm down and adjust their mentality.
The coaching staff came to Aldridge with a sad face. Aldridge just lit a cigarette and spit out a smoke.
Boas frowned, whispering: "Audridge, this game reminds me of the World Cup four years ago."
Aldridge raised his eyebrows: "England fights Brazil?"
Boas nodded and said, "Chelsea is like England at that time, and we are like Brazil."
Blanco interjected: "On offense, we are stronger than Brazil."
Boas shook his head and said: "On the defensive ability, Chelsea is stronger than England at that time, obviously stronger! England at that time can only limit Brazil through fouls, and Brazil only changes the pace of the game through personal ability. They don’t even have a midfield commander, a very good organizer. Their midfield is just a step-by-step excessive, and our offensive configuration is more reasonable and rich in play, but in the frontcourt is limited to death, even a few No profitable foul can be earned."
The coaching staff were silent.
Aldridge finished smoking, throwing cigarette butts into the trash can and striding towards the locker room.
"Eh, Aldridge, what shall we do in the second half?"
Aldrich turned his head and smiled: "Football is a competitive and adventurous sport, what else can we do? Take a risk."
