"In the 21st round of the league, Millwall defeated Chelsea at home and scored all three points to officially enter the championship ranks!"

'Now we can say for sure that Millwall have a chance of competing for the league title!'

'Millwall showed extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit, scoring three goals in a row after being one goal behind, and after this game, they are only three points separating Chelsea from this game, and they will be able to surpass them if they continue to perform!'

"Maybe Millwall can be the fifth team to win the Premier League!"

“……”

After the game, Millwall's performance was recognized, and many media commentators made similar noises.

That's a rare few.

They were already second in the league before Millwall's home game against Chelsea, six points clear of Chelsea and five more than third-placed Manchester United.

Now it's different.

In the head-on collision with Chelsea, Millwall showed tenacious fighting spirit, unyielding spirit and will to actively strive for victory, and many media and fans were moved by the 'miracle' of scoring three goals in the second half.

In the face of Chelsea's solid defence, who team can score three goals in ten minutes? Perhaps most teams, after tying the score or overtaking, will hesitate whether to continue to attack, and they will not even have the ambition to be aggressive.

Millwall did.

The players on the field have been working hard, the head coach Zhang Yang calmly adjusted, commanded, and the whole team worked together to create a miracle of three consecutive goals.

That's a rare kind of 'spirit'.

Twenty-one rounds of the league, including this game, Millwall is only three points behind Chelsea, and the consistent performance is also one of the reasons for the affirmation, and many media have characterized Millwall as a 'team with the possibility of winning the championship', which also represents a certain degree of recognition.

The Premier League is an open league, one of the world's top competitions, the FA advertises the Premier League as 'the most competitive' and 'the most open in the world', but in the more than ten years of history of the Premier League, the league championship is very seriously monopolized.

Manchester United are the dominant team in the league title.

In the past ten years, when talking about the 'Premier League title', we must talk about Manchester United, and the only one who can compete with Manchester United is the Arsenal led by Frenchman Arsene Wenger.

In 1995, Blackburn Rovers rose to prominence and won a league title.

It was the only time in more than a decade, and perhaps it is worth remembering for Blackburn Rovers fans for decades, that no other team had a chance, and last season there was another team that broke the monopoly, and that was Chelsea, who had risen strongly in the 'ruble offensive'.

If you look back at the history of the Premier League, you can see that the Premier League is said to be an 'open league', and the competition is very fierce, and there are very few teams that can qualify for the title.

From the very beginning of the season, the championship was almost fixed.

There are only three teams that have any hope of competing for the title, one is defending champions Chelsea, one is the dominant Manchester United, and the other is Arsenal who have been excellent 'from time to time'.

The other teams basically don't have a chance.

More than half of the season's rankings are enough to prove that the judgment of the media and fans is right, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are all in the top four, with only one more promoted team Millwall in the middle.

Millwall has always been unrecognized.

Charlton is Millwall's 'difficult brother', the results of both teams have been improving, even pressing on the heads of Manchester United and Arsenal, but Millwall and Charlton are just small clubs, and the small clubs have good results in the previous period of the league, and it is difficult to last a whole season.

This is not a definitive conclusion, but a law of history.

As the league entered the intensive period around Christmas, Charlton fell behind in 'respect of history', and their points were quickly overtaken by Manchester United and Arsenal, and there was only one Millwall left.

Millwall have better results than Charlton and are more 'tenacious', no media dares to say directly that Millwall will fall behind quickly, and the Christmas schedule is almost over, Millwall still maintains excellent results.

In some people's judgment, the game against Chelsea will be a watershed moment in Millwall's results.

This one comes at the end of the Christmas fixture, the twenty-first round of the league, and if Millwall loses, they will close a nine-point gap to Chelsea, with little hope of catching up, and will also allow United to catch up with three points, with the remaining two points just a game.

It's going to be a watershed game!

What no one expected was that Millwall would win the game, and it was only then that many media outlets truly recognized that Millwall was a team capable of competing for the title.

It's not just the media that's what it's seeing, it's everyone.

When the game was over, Millwall fans were talking about whether the team could compete for the league title, which was unthinkable before.

'We all won against Chelsea! Maybe we have a chance to win the championship too! ”

"Premier League Champion...... It's hard! ”

"What are you afraid of! Beat them again and we'll have the same points! As long as you perform well in the future, you will definitely have a chance! ”

'Chelsea can't win all season, right?'

"It depends on how far Zhang Yang can lead the team, but I believe Zhang Yang, do you remember this time last season? We were only in the middle of the Championship, but we won the Championship at the end of the season! ”

"Whether I win the championship or not, I'm very happy with the team's results!"

“……”

Millwall players are also discussing, Zhang Yang has never set a goal for the season, but in terms of the team's situation, there is hope for the title, and beating Chelsea head-on has boosted the confidence of the whole team, and many players are beginning to look forward to the championship.

"Last season we won the title at the halfway point and at the end of the season, and now we are second in the league, so why can't we win it?"

————

After the game, Zhang Yang greeted the players who came off the field and gave everyone a word of praise, "Good job!" ”

"Great!"

"You're the hero of the victory!"

"I'm sure everyone will remember you after this game!"

The last sentence was for Jamie Vardy, who scored two goals and was a big contributor to the team's victory, playing only 45 minutes to be considered the 'best player', and so much more than everyone on the pitch.

In fact, in the middle of the game, many fans took the initiative to look up Vardy's information -

"Who is this young player?"

"Vardy? Why haven't I heard of it before! Two goals! ”

"Playing in the eighth division last season? It's so much fun! He's a genius for sure! Even if you don't have a reputation now, you will be a big star in the future! ”

"Vardy is brilliant!"

"I'll be his fan from now on!"

“……”

The attention of the fans is the focus.

A number of media outlets are also preparing to cover a 'Vardy interview', and many reporters are already sharpening their knives in the mixed zone, just waiting for Vardy to come and do a slaughter-and-kill interview.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with Vardy's performance, and he would not be stingy to make him famous, and offered to give him more interviews, "It will be very useful for you to give more interviews." But don't believe what the media says, you should keep trying! ”

After that, Zhang Yang shook hands with Mourinho.

This is a formal handshake of etiquette, and when it comes to Zhang Yang and Mourinho, it really becomes a 'formality', and the two stand under the camera lens, and they only symbolically stretch out their hands, and without even touching their fingers, they turn around and walk away.

Jose Mourinho went to the press conference.

Zhang Yang wanted to go back to the locker room and celebrate the victory with the players.

The two were deliberately staggered.

If they were to be present at the press conference at the same time, they would be the subject of media hype no matter what the situation was, which would not be beneficial to either side, and it would still be necessary to stagger the interviews.

Mourinho was not in a good mood when it came to reporters, as Chelsea lost the game.

Mourinho knows the reasons for the loss: one is that Millwall did perform well, and the other is that during the game, the whole Chelsea team was unstable, stunned by successive goals, and the subsequent performance was too poor.

However, Mourinho has always been a 'man who doesn't admit defeat', and even if he knows the reason for the loss, he still has to say something sarcastic: "I'm disappointed because most of the game, only one team is playing seriously, and the other team is just trying not to concede goals. ”

"I admit that they played a good game for 10 minutes and relied on those 10 minutes to win, but the game was relatively long."

"I heard that the tickets for this game are more than 100 pounds? If I were a Millwall fan and I spent a hundred pounds to support the team and only watched the game for ten minutes, I would be very dissatisfied......

Mourinho's words made reporters complain.

Will Millwall fans be disappointed?

Just look at the reluctance to leave the stadium after the game to see how happy they were.

Jose Mourinho knew better that if Chelsea lost the game, the protagonist would only be Millwall, and no matter what he said, he would be very passive, and he did not leave time for reporters to ask questions and express his disappointment with the game, and then left the press conference on the grounds that he was 'busy returning to the club'.

Before leaving, Mourinho didn't forget to make Millwall a little bit of trouble, "They scored three goals, one by Branifer and two by Jamie Vardy, but I think the best one is Darren Bent, and our players have to defend seriously or he will cause more problems. ”

'It's a shame he's a bit of a shame at Millwall, but if he's at Chelsea he's partnered with Didier and he's the most efficient striker duo in the world......

After the game, Mourinho publicly expressed his admiration for a player, which is very rare.

Chelsea's approach is often to contact players privately, or to make secret offers to a club, perhaps because Chelsea are so high-profile that they have disrupted the European transfer market, and many people hate their approach.

It's the way they've always been transferring.

Mourinho's public poaching is really the first time to do it, and some media reporters are also excited, compared to Millwall, who is a 'dark horse rising', Chelsea is undoubtedly quite attractive, especially for a young player who has just emerged, and the high salary alone is enough to seduce.

The media already know what needs to be reported in addition to the game.

When Zhang Yang came to the press conference, he knew what was happening, he heard the reporters' 'relay', just smiled disdainfully, "I have said a long time ago, he is a head coach with no vision, of course, this is not to say that Darren is not good, but he is quite good, but he is not good at using people." Even if a good player goes to Chelsea, so what? Chelsea had enough stars in the squad and they still lost the game. ”

"Of course, I believe he is really bullish on Darren." Zhang Yang changed his tone, as if to 'help confirm the news', when the reporters in the audience were strange, he smiled, "He is also optimistic about David, he said before the game, I believe he is optimistic about all the good players, he hopes to bring all the good players to Chelsea, whether they can perform or not, at least they will no longer be Chelsea's opponents in the future, and then he can lead Chelsea and easily win the championship." ”

"I admire him, that's really thoughtful. Millwall can't do it, we're just a small club, we can't compare to Chelsea with a lot of money......

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, the reporters in the audience looked at each other, and then reacted and immediately burst into laughter, they all thought it was very interesting: Mourinho wants to buy all the good players? And then Chelsea could easily win the title?

This level of irony has reached a certain level!

————

The media news of the day was full of reports of Millwall facing Chelsea.

There's so much to cover in the game.

The head coaches of the two teams, Zhang Yang and Mourinho, are attractive enough.

Millwall's magical performance of ten minutes has become a topic of conversation among fans, and the substitution that advertises the 'stroke of genius', Braniff and Vardy jointly contributed three goals, which is the most talked about, and there is also a report issued, "That is a classic conductor that should be written into a textbook!" ”

The players who performed well in the game were also praised by many reports.

Jamie Vardy is certainly one.

Two breakdowns against Chelsea speak for themselves, with Jamie Vardy being dubbed a 'genius' for the first time, and he was interviewed by numerous journalists after the game, with Vardy's name mentioned in almost every game report.

"The rookie who played in the eighth division last season is rising at an astonishing rate, he has already scored four goals for Millwall, you know, he is actually just starting to play for Millwall!"

And then there's Darren Bent.

Darren Bent didn't score, but Millwall was the only one in the game, facing Chelsea's tough backline and for the most part he had to face at least one defender, either Carvalho or John Terry, with the occasional pair of strikers.

With such a tough defense, Darren Bent still has a dazzling performance.

Until the end of the game, Darren Bent did not score, but the appearance of three goals was directly related to the fact that he attracted most of the defensive attention, and the performance is so just by listening to Mourinho's evaluation.

And then there's Jody Morris and Braniff.

Morris has received unanimous praise for his defensive and offensive performances, and he is also considered Millwall's 'most central player'.

Braniff didn't show much, but one goal was enough to tell.

Then there was a lot of media that praised Millwall's defence, the defenders had few chances, most of them were working in blue-collar jobs, but Millwall defended the whole game and allowed Chelsea to score only one goal, which is enough to prove the excellent defensive results.

For Chelsea, most of it was criticism.

For example, in the post-match ratings, Chelsea had two players with the lowest scores, midfielder Essien and full-back Pacos Ferreira.

Essien was easily broken through in the game, his defensive performance was quite poor, and he was a transparent man on the offensive end.

The same goes for Ferreira.

In the whole game, Ferreira only made one tackle and nothing else, whether it was against Koncheski in the first half or Braniff in the second half, he was an absolute underdog.

That's a terrible performance!

In various media reports, there was also a constant talk of Zhang Yang's sarcasm of Mourinho after the game, so there was a sentence that slowly became popular -

"Mourinho is optimistic about so-and-so (player)!"

This sentence first appeared on Weibo, and some media platforms and football commentator accounts continued to reprint 'Zhang Yang's sarcastic words about Mourinho'.

After that, some fans began to leave messages.

What many fans like to talk about is, 'Mourinho is optimistic about Bente', 'Mourinho is optimistic about Livermore', and then it was extended to 'Mourinho is optimistic about Gerrard', 'Mourinho is optimistic about Ronaldo'...... Wait a minute.

A series of optimism also made fans feel interesting, and they went to the Weibo of various stars to leave messages below, "Rooney, Mourinho is optimistic about you!" ”

"Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho is optimistic about you!"

"Thierry Henry, Mourinho is optimistic about you!"

"Fowler, Mourinho is optimistic about you!"

“……”

Almost all of the famous football stars have similar messages under Weibo.

"Mourinho is optimistic about so-and-so (player)" quickly became an Internet buzzword, which means, "You are good enough to get Mourinho's attention", while implicitly sarcastic to Mourinho, "Don't pay too much attention to it, because Mourinho is optimistic about all the good players." ”

When Zhang Yang found out that this sentence had become an Internet buzzword and appeared on the major search lists, he couldn't help but snicker in his heart, and at the same time, he also lamented for Mourinho, "Maybe he should thank me, because he is more famous." ”

Ahem...... That's it!

Zhang Yang picked up the invitation card in his hand, looked at the introduction above and thought it was very interesting-
