Chapter 1072: not much hope

The score of 3:0 is maintained until the end of the game.
Millwall beat Manchester United at home and temporarily extended the lead in the standings to 6 points. If Chelsea defeated Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can also reduce the gap between the two sides to 3 points.
After the game, Aldridge shook hands with Ferguson. The two still did not communicate. They turned away, one to lead the team to compete for the FA Cup, and one to play in the league and the Champions League.
In an interview after the game, Aldridge bluntly said: "The victory of this game is very critical. Both the players and I know this well. Some people said that playing first is not good for us. The facts prove that we have enough courage. To overcome any difficulties with the will, now we have 3 points and the pressure is turned to Chelsea, but now we can not turn our attention to the next round of the league game at Stamford Bridge, we have to start preparing for Juventus The Champions League semi-finals is over. The good news is that we have a key player recovering from injury, Kaka, and his timely recovery is very important to us."
...
The Premier League has become fiercely contested and has reached the final sprint.
Millwall took the lead in defeating Manchester United, and the pressure naturally came to Chelsea.
Chelsea only have the league left, so they have enough time to take a break, but Mourinho is depressed!
But he could not complain to the media.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Chelsea is in the first or second round.
The point is, their opponent, Arsenal!
Manchester United lost to Millwall without resistance, the team's physical fitness and fighting spirit are definitely the key factors.
Arsenal have two days more rest than Manchester United!
Their game against Chelsea is the latest!
The outside world said that Millwall had one day off. In fact, Mourinho hoped Millwall's game would be played at the latest.
In this way, only watching this round of the league, Millwall did take more rest, but Manchester United can also rest for two days, so that the possibility of Manchester United snipering Millwall will increase.
At the same time, Millwall's time between the Champions League semi-finals will be shortened, which will have a direct impact on the next round of the league battle at Stamford Bridge, making Millwall better consumed.
But because Millwall had the Champions League mission, their game was played first in the league.
Of course, the strong dialogue is going to stagger the days, and the protection of the ratings attention. In this way, Chelsea seems to rest more, but Arsenal also has more time to recover the FA Cup consumption.
How is Mourinho not depressed?
Chelsea fans are optimistic about this game against Arsenal.
Arsenal have no hope of winning the championship, and their focus shifted to the FA Cup. They also played the FA Cup semi-finals in the previous week. Chelsea are full of energy and the possibility of winning the game should be higher.
However, in the final round of the Premier League finals, at Stamford Bridge, after the 90-minute game, the entire Stamford Bridge fell into silence!
Mourinho was expressionless and Wenger looked relaxed. Arsenal players retired in an orderly manner, while Chelsea players stood on the court and looked at a loss.
"0:0! At the end of the game, Chelsea and Arsenal exchanged hands in a handshake at home! This is not a result that Chelsea fans want to see, but the reality can not be changed! Arsenal counterattacked in this game. Playing mainly, they don’t seem to have the determination to win here. Chelsea’s willpower is enough, but the lack of creativity exposed in the tough battle is a shortcoming in their skills and tactics. Don’t look at the data. A 20-foot shot, but at least 70% of them are unthreatening long-range shots. They lack creativity in the frontcourt. When there is no space to fight back, they are like headless flies. Most of the time, the offense is where to play, maybe we The demand for Chelsea coach Mourinho is too harsh. Chelsea have performed well this season. Their counterattacks have made countless opponents afraid and even forced their opponents to give up their offense. However, they themselves are not good at breaking intensive defense. If Chelsea want to More powerful, they need to strengthen their ability in this area in the future. In the 35 rounds of the Premier League, the leader of the standings, Millwall, left the second-placed Chelsea by 5 points! If the next round is at home, Chelsea can beat Milwaukee. Well, they still need Millwall to make mistakes in the last two rounds of the league to reverse the championship, but this possibility is really very slim..."
Chelsea and Arsenal's derby in the same city came out, and the fans were crazy!
In the past few months, Chelsea have been chasing the gap from 10 points behind to only 3 points. Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, Manchester United failed to attack Millwall. Instead, Arsenal made Chelsea's dream of winning the league almost broken!
...
Let's turn our attention to Italy.
In 2003, Lippi led Juventus to win the Serie A championship again. He made a promise that year to bring a Champions League to Juventus. If he can't do it, then he will resign and leave.
In the summer of 2004, Juventus not only failed to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League, but also the league champion was snatched by AC Milan.
Lippi fulfilled his promise, resigned and left, and then Capello entered the Zebra Legion!
At the end of the major leagues, La Liga will end at the latest. There are still 5 rounds in the league. Barcelona is 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. The advantage is huge!
The Bundesliga classmate Bayern Munich has already locked the league title in advance.
Lyon in Ligue 1 is starting an era of domestic domination, and their consecutive titles continue.
With 3 rounds remaining in the Premier League, Millwall left Chelsea by 5 points, and their probability of winning the title has been affirmed by the bookmaker, because the betting option for the championship was closed after Chelsea was tied by Arsenal.
The Serie A situation is the most stalemate. With 5 rounds left in the league, defending champion AC Milan and Juventus share the same points! In the penultimate round, the two teams will also have a decisive battle in San Siro!
It can be said that Juventus, AC Milan, Millwall, and three teams that reached the semi-finals of the Champions League have almost the same pressure.
Not only did the league compete for the championship, only one step away from the Champions League final, but also in the middle of the two rounds of the Champions League semi-final, there was a strong dialogue between league competitors.
Against this background, Aldridge led Millwall to Turin as a guest at Juventus.
Aldridge complimented Juventus coach Capello before the game. He laughed and talked about it many years ago. He was very much looking forward to playing with Capello.
It's just that he didn't tell the whole story. Capello, who yearned for confrontation, was Real Madrid coach Capello in the late 1990s, not today's Capello, nor even Capello of Real Madrid in the future.
What is the difference?
Of course, Capello is still Capello, but the cards in his hands are different. Immersed in a unique league for a long time, my self-style will naturally change subtly.
Serie A has lost the throne of the world’s first league, from the loss of stars, from the conservative style of Italy in the new era of eyeballing, regardless of whether the fans understand the ball, of course, they will want to see the goal, Serie A goal rate is relative to La Liga and the Premier League have a low goal rate. In the media era, it is naturally easy to be compared. The leader Juventus and AC Milan scored less goals than Millwall’s 2/3. It's not as good as the goals of La Liga.
Del Alp Stadium.
The unsmiling Capello was on the sidelines and it was unclear what Millwall wanted on the road today!
Millwall presented a lineup that was unexpected to him.
Goalkeeper: Bute.
Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.
Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Nedved.
Forwards: Larson, Villa, Glennshire.
On the bench, Alonso, Henry, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and the four main players all sat there.
And from the attitude after the opening, Millwall obviously is not here to win!
They dragged their rhythm very slowly, very slowly, and even slower than many weak players in Serie A. The players seemed to have no motivation to play.
Juventus relied on home profits, hoping to win Millwall at home, and then go to the Lion King Stadium to qualify for the final ticket.
As a result, Millwall passed the control in the midfield and backcourt for a long time, as if consuming game time, which made Juventus lack of offensive opportunities.
Aldrich's idea on the sidelines was very simple.
In the first game of the Champions League semi-finals, as long as 90 minutes without losing, or a small loss, he can accept, but the team's main force can not be consumed too much.
They are going to fight for Chelsea on the road.
Therefore, the offensive backs are all sitting on the bench, solid defense in the midfield and backcourt, pass the control to kill the opponent, changing direction is also a kind of seduction.
What is good for Millwall is that after the Champions League semifinals, they will visit Stamford Bridge, but before the second round of the Champions League semifinals, Juventus and AC Milan will have a peak in San Siro war!
That game will inevitably force Juventus to consume too much!
Therefore, from a strategic perspective, the best time for a decisive battle between Millwall and Juventus is not now, but in the second round. At that time, Millwall will have the right time and place!
Capello is rigorous and the execution of techniques and tactics on the field is also carried out to the end. Juventus is not afraid to easily grab and expose the empty space behind him. In Serie A, it is rare to see a team daring to oppress the offense. This is not the philosophy of this league. It's not the way to survive here, but Serie A teams that hold up the offensive football banner often don't get out of their homes, so they are disarmed by the lost helmets of various groups in the local leagues.
This is Juventus's home court. Millwall has no mental burden. Aldridge competes with Capello for patience. It depends on who is unbalanced in the first 90 minutes.
Juventus couldn't master the game rhythm at home. Even if he didn't dare to invest more troops, Capello felt helpless.
The champion coach who was once taunted by the media in Spain as "the football style makes cows look dull" began to taste the bitterness of being counterattacked by opponents in the same way.
