Chapter 641: Warriors and Assassins

The result of the other FA Cup semi-final was soon in the air, with Cardiff City beating Barnes by a single goal away.

The FA Cup final is out - Millwall vs Cardiff City.

Cardiff City is a Welsh club that has always played in the English football system, but has never reached the top flight in the history of football.

In 2003, Cardiff City were promoted to the second tier of the Championship.

From Cardiff City's history to the current results, it can be seen that the team's results have been improving, and many media and fans believe that Cardiff City's promotion to the Premier League will happen sooner or later, and they will always be a Premier League team in the future.

This is because Cardiff City is located in Wales and is one of the most successful clubs in Wales.

They have a huge fan base to support them.

There are fans, there is finance, even if the results of a few seasons are not good, good enough finance, can also support them to slowly upgrade, many clubs are like this, such as some big cities have separate clubs, there will be no competitors will definitely have a huge fan base, even if the club owner changes frequently, but there is always a fan group support, the finance will not be too bad, and the results will slowly improve.

Cardiff City, as a Championship team, can reach the FA Cup final, and there is nothing special to focus on.

In this sense, Millwall is the opposite.

Millwall is a team in the London Region, but there are too many teams in the London Region, so that Millwall fans are in a very disadvantageous situation in the competition, and from the perspective of the fan base, Millwall's results will only get worse and worse, and the magic is here.

Since Zhang Yang took charge, Millwall's results have been on the rise, and the fan base has been growing.

At first, many media thought that Millwall was just a good result by chance, and when Zhang Yang led the team to achieve good results, or Zhang Yang left Millwall, the results would naturally decline, and even said that it was very likely that they would quickly fall to the Championship and then continue to be relegated and sinking.

There are very few people who hold this argument now.

If Millwall continues to achieve good results and win many championships, they will attract more fans, and more fans will also represent Millwall's financial income, and they will enter a very healthy stage.

As long as there is financial support, is the star still a problem?

When Zhang Yang leaves the team, the team can still operate normally and continue to guarantee results, but it is still very easy to maintain a level in the upper reaches of the Premier League for a long time.

There's not much more to say about this FA Cup final.

No one is optimistic about Cardiff City.

Cardiff City fans knew that the opponent was Millwall, and they basically gave up on the team.

Millwall?

It is a strong team that continues to be unbeaten in the league and competes for all the championships, and the venue for the final, the new Wembley Stadium, is Millwall's turf, and Millwall is much better than Cardiff City even if it comes up with a substitute lineup!

That's how big the gap is between the two sides.

As soon as the final matchup came out, there was no suspense about the result, and Millwall would definitely be able to win the FA Cup.

The FA Cup title is here.

There will be no suspense in the league title.

Millwall is only fighting for a Champions League trophy, they were the Champions League champions last season, and continuing to move forward this season is tantamount to successfully defending the title, and too many media and fans are paying attention to Millwall's Champions League opportunity.

The Times said, "If Millwall can win the Champions League, they will have won all seven titles they could have won this season!" Become an unprecedented seven-time champion! ”

"They don't just dominate English football, they dominate the whole of Europe and the world!"

The Times is supported by a wide range of British media.

When they reported on Millwall before, they were very bad at mental, because Millwall dominated the Premier League, won the championship for two consecutive years, and there was no suspense this season, which is the biggest evidence, and other national media used this to show that the level of competition in the Premier League is declining.

The point is, it's hard for them to say anything.

Now they've finally found their chance, what if Millwall win two Champions Leagues in a row? That's not just dominating the Premier League schedule, it's dominating European football, right?

What Barcelona, Real Madrid, A-Mi, Bayern, all boast of high strength, but the Champions League has not been won by Millwall in a row?

This shows that Millwall's dominance of the Premier League is not a big deal, because they both have the strength to dominate the Champions League!

Many British media can't wait to see that Millwall can win the Champions League.

————

It was a surprise that Millwall had received a lot of media support ahead of Millwall's Champions League quarter-final tie with Chelsea.

Zhang Yang was ready to be attacked by various media, of course, they did not attack in person, but in their analysis articles, they wrote various arguments about "Millwall will lose".

Each article is very reasonable, and the analysis is correct, as if Millwall will definitely lose.

This time Millwall played against Chelsea again, and the outside world actually shouted, "Support Millwall to win the Champions League"?

Zhang Yang didn't understand what the media thought.

Of course, this did not affect the match between Millwall and Chelsea, and when it comes to the clash between the two teams, Chelsea have to win because the venue chosen for the Champions League final is in Moscow, and many people say that if Chelsea can reach the final, they will encounter a foreign 'home game', because their chairman Roman Abramovich is Russian, and most Russian fans will also support Roman Abramovich's Chelsea.

Chelsea would like that to happen, provided they beat Millwall first.

With many Chelsea players, this is an impossible task.

Chelsea are pessimistic.

The two teams have played each other too many times, last time in the league, last time in the Carabao Cup final, last time in the league, and then you can look back at the Community Shield, the two sides have played each other four times this season, Chelsea have not won once, and now it's the Champions League quarter-finals and there are two games to go.

The Chelsea players are a little painful to think about.

As a player, you should have a positive attitude in the face of the game, but how can you be positive when you can't beat the opponent? Chairman Abramovich seemed to have found a way by pulling out a large suitcase containing five million pounds sterling.

"As long as you win this one, it's all yours!"

Roman Abramovich was talking 'win this one' rather than 'win this round', in other words, winning the first game at Stamford Bridge would give the Chelsea players £5 million.

That's a lot of money!

Roman Abramovich takes the game too seriously, and when Chelsea lose to Millwall again and again, his heart is constantly bleeding, and for three seasons, Chelsea have missed out on winning title after title.

Didn't Jose Mourinho coach in the first place?

No!

Mourinho just couldn't lead the team to beat the flamboyant Millwall, it's just that simple, leading the team to play against other teams, the results are still very good, but comparatively speaking, Manchester United can't beat Millwall, and other teams have done very little.

What's the big deal?

What makes Chelsea different is that they have to compete for various trophies and have more conflicts with Millwall.

Now Abramovich found that Grant could not lead the team to beat Millwall, Millwall also performed quite strongly, won all the championships of the season, and did not give any chance to other teams at all, his mind changed, regretting that two seasons ago, did not use a lot of money, and made up his mind to win Zhang Yang, Abramovich also needs to do his best to help the team beat Millwall.

Money is the best means.

What else? There is Grant in leading the team, even if the Israelis do not lead the team well, he knows more than himself, and the only thing he can do is to take money.

Five million pounds, that sounds like a lot.

As long as the team can beat Millwall in the Champions League, there are countless possibilities for the future, and that is worth more than five million.

The role of money is obvious.

Chelsea's players are like chickens, even for high-paid stars, hundreds of thousands of pounds is a lot of money, such as some fringe players, such as Bridge, Kalou and others, their weekly salary is only 50,000 or 60,000 pounds, and winning Millwall is equivalent to an extra month's salary.

The temptation is simply too great!

The power of the prize money is endless, Chelsea showed a very positive side when they came out, every player is playing hard, everyone doesn't want to pull the team back, no one is going to be selfish with the ball because they have a common purpose -

Win the game!

Chelsea are united in their desire to beat Millwall, who seem to have become the big devil.

In the form of the game, Chelsea resembled a strong, valiant warrior who used their heavy swords to clash their enemies and cut a slice of the future.

Millwall, on the other hand, were an assassin who attacked very little and remained defensive for the most part, but every counter-attack scared Chelsea.

Such a game went on for a long time.

Chelsea not only have fighting spirit, they also have home advantage, in the shouts of the fans, running, fighting are very energetic, Millwall under the opponent's hard fight, it is difficult to play the advantage, can only defend passively, occasionally play a wave of counterattacks.

In terms of format, Chelsea have the upper hand.

However, Millwall was not bad, the players were actually in good form, the defence was solid, and the attacking efficiency was also very high, the latter made the pros see the situation clearly, "Twenty minutes into the game, Chelsea had 57 per cent possession, they had four shots on goal, Millwall had three, but Millwall had two shots on the woodwork and Chelsea only had one......
