Chapter 1074: Looking up

Stamford Bridge Stadium is a "pocket" stadium among the giants. Consider that Old Trafford has expanded to 70,000 capacity. The further expansion plan of Millwall’s Lion King Stadium is also in the next stage of the club’s development. In the plan, Arsenal's new stadium is also expected by the Gunners fans to arrive in the next three years. Stamford Bridge's 40,000 capacity, indeed, can't take the shot.
The small pitch means fewer tickets for the visiting team. The Premier League's final match at Stamford Bridge this season is hard to find. The visiting team fans can get tickets for less than six thousand.
Before the game started, Chelsea fans created a massive atmosphere of cheering in the stadium, waving their flags and singing Chelsea songs, the benefits of the small stadium were highlighted, and it was easier to gather the sounds made by the stands Echoed in the stadium.
Millwall fans were somewhat depressed on the visiting team stands. The leader of the fan organization screamed and led the comrades to cheer Millwall together, but they could not overshadow the home team's momentum.
The former "Lion Roar" fan organization has been reintegrated in the past year. One of the original founders like Brady left for work and life. This is a normal thing. Real men must definitely carry it. The important task of the family is not to control oneself by oneself.
The same situation also occurred in other fan organizations. Those who had formed the fan organization around the age of 20 with their loyalty to the crazy lion and a lot of blood, many people either because of life or work Mobilization, and even some people withdrew from the fan organization because of learning, which made the management and cohesion of the fan organization decline. So, in the last year, they reshuffled and the several fan organizations connected to each other fused together , A brand new fan organization was born, named: Mad Lion Guards!
Their slogan is not just preached like a "lion roar": if you love crazy lion, then victory over roar!
Now, there is quite a cult scent: defend everything about the mad lion!
Those members of the fan organization whose management system and scale remained in normal conditions shouted, roared, and sang songs in the stands of the visiting team, trying to overshadow the momentum created by Chelsea fans in the stadium, but their vocalizations were too dumb to succeed. While being discouraged and unwilling, they were also dissatisfied with the "Crazy Lion Guards".
Because at least 1,500 people came to Stamford Bridge’s
Lion Lion Guards
members, they stood there quietly, without waving flags, without holding up scarves, without singing, without yelling, as if they were coming from neutral fans Watching the game quietly.
Before the players from both sides entered the field, Millwall coach Audridge first walked into the field. His appearance made a subtle change in the atmosphere on the court. Chelsea fans close to him will humiliate him with sign language to give He created pressure and made him lose his calmness. At best, he could kick like a cantoner!
If some fans are unfortunately hit by this foot, and Aldridge is sent off with a red card, he may even be suspended for a long time, and may even go to jail. This will definitely be of great benefit to Chelsea. Many Chelsea fans are willing to "sacrifice themselves." ".
The turmoil of the fans in the visiting team stands in support of Aldridge, singing songs praising Aldridge.
Aldridge still didn't shake hands with Mourinho. He came to the visiting coach's seat to stand still, seeming to be unhurried, accustomed to the hustle and bustle on the court, calm as an outsider.
Mourinho also stood in front of the coach of the home team. He couldn't help glancing at Aldridge, his face dignified.
He can't figure out what tactics Millwall will play on the road today.
Offense?
Why take the initiative to give Chelsea space to fight back?
Even if Millwall loses, he still has the initiative to win the championship, and even the space is very large.
Chelsea won, and the gap with Millwall shortened to 2 points.
In the last two rounds, even if Chelsea wins, Millwall will score 4 points with one win and one draw, with the same score as Chelsea, Millwall will also rely on the advantage of the goal difference!
And if it is a draw, it is almost certain that Millwall has successfully defended!
Will Millwall attack aggressively?
Mourinho was at a loss and felt that 90% of the chances were that Millwall would conservatively score 1 as the main goal. After all, Millwall also had a life-and-death battle with Juventus in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Moreover, Millwall eliminated Chelsea in the second round of the Champions League. They took a defensive counterattack at their home court. Today came to Stamford Bridge. Mourinho made his own way. He felt that if he was himself , Then 100% will definitely fight back, and it is an extremely conservative counterattack! But because he knew he was not Aldridge, he was 10% more likely to come out.
But there was only one way before Chelsea.
attack!
There is no escape route.
Defense cannot be said to be meaningless.
The premise of this existence is: Millwall actively attacked!
Players from both sides lined up.
Mourinho glanced away to observe Millwall's starting lineup.
"The 2004-2005 season in the English Premier League finally came to the most intense and exciting stage. Millwall, the top ranked leaderboard, came to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, the home team, trailed Millwall by 5 points. Andy, you think Millwall How likely is it to win the championship?"
"I think as long as Sir Hall allows Millwall to play a tight defense and score 1 point here, then Millwall can declare the defending success! Chelsea only looks at the record this season, which is almost perfect, but, in The problems exposed in the key battles cannot be ignored, that is, their positional attack ability is lacking in creativity, which is very obvious in their Champions League elimination by Millwall, and the last round of the main scene against Arsenal. Chelsea are strong, but they are not strong enough to shake Millwall. This is the fundamental reason why they are now behind Millwall by 5 points. In other words, if the opponent chooses to play anti-anti against them, Chelsea will win. It will drop by at least 20%."
"Oh? So what do you think caused this? Chelsea seem to have a group of talented players."
"First of all, it must be the tactical arrangement of the head coach. Mourinho has two defensive midfielders in the midfield to strengthen the defense. Essien and Makelele have very good defense. The offense also occasionally flashes, but they are attacking. Can't maintain a stable assist play in the front. Relying on Robben, Duff, Ribery, Joe Cole, and other highly skilled players in the past rely on speed and dribbling technology to tear the opponent's defensive line. The vast space, but when attacking tough battles and breaking intensive defenses, when the lack of space, they seem to decline in power."
"Lampard returned to English football this season. He brought Chelsea a very good offensive help in the frontcourt. He scored and assisted. He seemed to be omnipotent."
"Yes, simply looking at Lampard's statistics, he is very good, but if we compare Millwall's lineup, we will understand why Sir Hall let him go. Lampard is good at forwards and has long shots. Ability, and a stable pass success rate, but his dribbling breakthrough is not particularly good, and what he is good at, Millwall's offensive system, he can not bring better supplement and sublimation to the team, Passing, Millwall has Alonso behind, Ronaldinho who can send a concealed straight ball in front, when breaking the intensive defense, dribbling breakthrough is a very important means to be able to tear the opponent's partial Defense, which disrupted the opponent's mark. This season's Brazilian Kaka, who performed very well in the Millwall formation, his explosive power is simply amazing. He also has the ability to shoot long-range, so Millwall broke through the intensive defense. The reason for the stronger is here too, to have an exquisite pass, to have an exquisite pass, to have a breakthrough, to have a long shot and a long shot master, which makes their offensive means very rich, so Millwall does not need Lampard, they It also needs a player who can bring more other means to the offense, or become an unpredictable opponent."
"Corresponding to this game, Millwall won all three matches against Chelsea in the first three of the season. In the last game, the most crucial one, will Millwall win?"
"I think it depends on Sir Hall's positioning in the game, he wants to firmly lock the championship, so as long as he plays anti-anti, he can be 80% sure that he will not lose, but if Sir Hall has other ideas, such as not being imposing If you can lose to Chelsea, then the changes in the game will be unpredictable."
"Oh, the initiative is in Sir Hall's hands, not in Mourinho's hands, right?"
"That's it, well, let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides.
Home team Chelsea started 433.
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Guards: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.
Midfielders: Essien, Makelele, Lampard.
Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Ribery.
Millwall started 433.
Goalkeeper: Bute.
Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.
Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.
Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.
Although the formations of the two teams look the same, the operation of the technical and tactical system is completely different. Millwall emphasizes midfield control, and Chelsea focuses on the offensive and defensive conversion of side attack. We..."
While Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were still proactively predicting the game, they suddenly froze during the commentary because Andy Gray looked down from the location of the live studio and saw more than 40,000 Stamford Bridge The audience, looking up at the sky together...
Over the Stamford Bridge, a small plane passed slowly.
