Millwall beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 and then swept Manchester City 0-5 away to make the new season a good start to the new season.

After the game, the media turned their attention again and began to report on Millwall frequently, praising Millwall's performance, praising Millwall's players' performance, and perhaps an important reason is that the Community Shield is about to begin.

Millwall are in contention with Chelsea for the title.

Chelsea have been the focus of summer transfers, although Mikel and Ashley Cole have not yet confirmed their arrivals, but there have been stars such as Ballack and Shepchenko before, making Chelsea's squad even more gorgeous.

However, Chelsea's squad was flashy but not kept up, with Chelsea's second round of league performances poor, a 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough, and there was nothing to say about their performances other than Shepchenko's goal for Chelsea.

After the game, with the exception of Shepchenko, who received an eight-point rating, the rest of the Chelsea squad were rated lowly, with Frank Lampard at the heart of the team scoring just five and defensive pillar John Terry at four points.

Chelsea were a bit pessimistic ahead of the game ahead of the game against Millwall, but whatever the situation of the two teams, the clash between the two teams as league rivals will certainly attract a lot of attention.

This is the third time Chelsea and Millwall have met this year.

The two meetings between Chelsea and Millwall last season occurred after a month, and the frequent encounters between the two teams may have made the game much worse, but after a summer transfer, both teams have undergone a lot of changes, and many media and fans believe that they can see from the game that the quality of the two teams has changed and the real preparation.

It's going to be a big fight for sure.

Zhang Yang doesn't have the 'fatigue' of playing against Chelsea, every time he plays against Jose Mourinho's team, the whole team will feel very interesting and they will be full of fighting spirit.

Chelsea!

In recent seasons, Chelsea have represented the highest level of the Premier League and beating Chelsea feels like conquering the Premier League.

The media is also happy to see a big war unfold.

Before the game, the media began to build momentum for the game, and the banner that helped both sides was 'help establish dominance'.

Chelsea's league performances have been so dominant in the last two seasons that even Manchester United have not been able to compete with them, so it is natural to say that they have 'dominated' in the Premier League.

Millwall challenged Chelsea's 'dominance' by taking the Premier League title and beating Chelsea twice in a row, so Millwall had 'dominance'.

The game is a battle between two teams for 'dominance'.

'We all know that Jose Mourinho is a strong manager who wants to dominate the league and hopefully lead the team to consecutive titles. But Millwall have challenged Chelsea's position, and Chelsea did not perform well in the last round, and they must reassert their league dominance with a win over Millwall! ”

'Millwall are the defending champions and it will be important to see if they can continue to perform well this season, if they want to get good results, they still have to face 'old rivals' Chelsea, but it is difficult to say how many chances they have against Chelsea......

Most of the British media are still optimistic about Chelsea, the reason is that Chelsea's squad is more gorgeous, especially after the addition of Shepchenko and Ballack, Chelsea's squad has reached the 'cosmic' level.

Millwall is a lot worse.

Despite the fact that they have brought in stars such as Pire and Zambrotta, and the strength of the original squad, there is not much to talk about compared to Chelsea.

'Chelsea will beat Millwall, it's not last season!'

A number of similar remarks were made in the media.

Chelsea are also holding back their appetite for a win over Millwall in the Community Shield, for whom a win over Millwall would be more tempting than a Community Shield, and after losing the league title twice last season, Millwall have become their biggest rivals and rivals.

Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich is also very attentive to the game, and nothing has been more satisfying for the Russian this summer than Shepchenko's successful arrival at Chelsea.

Other stars, like Ballack, Kalou, etc., he didn't care.

The German captain, who listens to the ears and the Ivory Coast striker, is no different, anyway, they are all players who are a little famous.

Shepchenko is the only thing that matters, he is the most famous star of Ukraine, almost single-handedly led Ukraine to the World Cup, with Shepchenko joining, plus Chelsea's original squad is enough to win the championship, Chelsea's squad is perfect.

Shepchenko is a good friend of Abramovich, Shepchenko's wife and Abramovich's wife are still best friends, after joining Chelsea, Abramovich often invited Shepchenko to dinner, while maintaining the relationship between friends, he will also care about Shepchenko's adaptation in the team.

Chelsea's loss in the second round did not affect Abramovich's mood, because Shepchenko scored in the game, and as Shepchenko scored more and more goals, Chelsea will definitely perform better and better.

Chelsea's goal for the season is to achieve the Grand Slam of domestic league, cup and Champions League titles.

So, Millwall?

That young Chinese is good, the future will be very promising, maybe the current coaching ability, no worse than Jose (Mourinho), but Millwall is just Millwall, a small club that has just risen, no matter who leads it, it is impossible to always beat the strong Chelsea.

Roman Abramovich was so sure of his judgment that he also gave Mourinho a 'must win' notice, "I will be going to watch the game and sit with Millwall's chairman, the Mossad. He didn't talk about the outcome of the game, but going to the Millennium Stadium to watch the game and sitting with the chairman of the opposing team said it all.

Abramovich is the person who cares about face the most, and perhaps after becoming the world's richest man, 'face' has become one of the only things that can be pursued.

It's so much more important than money.

So Chelsea have to win, they have to win, otherwise Abramovich will be very unhappy, but when the Russians are unhappy, others will not be very happy.

The first to bear the brunt will definitely be the manager, Mourinho knows that the game is at stake for his position, and if he continues to lose to Millwall, he will be very close to 'stable position'.

————

Millwall became a knot in Chelsea's heart.

With two league defeats to Millwall last season and a league rivalry to Millwall, it's not just Roman Abramovich who wants his side to win, but Mourinho and the Chelsea players who want to beat Millwall.

Mourinho showed a sign of confidence on the outside, telling reporters that 'Chelsea are stronger now than they were before, maybe we haven't played our form yet [defeat to Middlesbrough in the second round], but there will be no doubt about winning Millwall." ”

But in reality, Mourinho is more worried than anyone else.

Mourinho is not worried about the 'security of the position' of losing the game, but he is really worried about the game, and his views are diametrically opposed to those of Roman Abramovich, who believes that the team's squad is perfect, but he thinks it is worse than last season.

The only good news in the summer has been the arrival of Ballack.

Jose Mourinho has a high regard for Ballack and believes the arrival of the German captain is a real addition to Chelsea's strengths.

But that's about it.

Abramovich values Shepchenko, but Mourinho doesn't think Shepchenko is a necessary player, and the Ukrainian star can't even catch up with Crespo - the Argentine at least follows the command, does not cause problems in the dressing room, and does not challenge his authority, Shepchenko is different, the latter has a good personal relationship with Abramovich and must be reused if he is not in good form.

As for the goals in the first two rounds, Mourinho didn't take it seriously.

As a striker and backed by Chelsea's strong midfield, what's so unusual about scoring goals against two underdogs?

Jose Mourinho doesn't think Shepchenko has adapted to the team because Chelsea haven't really gone through big games yet, and it's hard to say what Shepchenko will do when he does meet a rival.

There are also big problems with the team's transfer.

Damien Duff applied to leave on his own. Mourinho had planned to keep Duff in the team and continue to play well for the team, but the latter was clearly unwilling to play too little.

Goodjohnson also left.

Gudjohnson's departure is directly related to Shepchenko, because of the addition of Shepchenko, Gudjohnson was forced to 'give way', he was originally the second striker in addition to Drogba, but he had to leave to join other teams-

Barcelona!

If you look at the team that Goodjohnson has joined, you can see how valuable he is.

In addition, the team has internal problems.

Frank Lampard, John Terry and other players, affected by the World Cup, did not adjust well at the beginning of the season, in fact, it is only a small problem, give them some time to make adjustments, the defense is heavy to tear Gallas and the club into the skin is a big problem.

In the run-up to the game, Gallas not only refused to play on the US tour, but also felt that he had played for the team in the first two rounds, in other words, he was hell-bent on leaving Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho has considered trading Gallas and Arsenal for the desired Ashley Cole, and no manager can do anything about this kind of player who is hell-bent on leaving.

In all these respects, Millwall is good news.

Millwall's transfer is not as grand as Chelsea's, but they have gained the players they want, Quaresma and Pire, all of whom Mourinho fancied and wanted to sign, and Zambrotta was something that Mourinho couldn't think of, the latter is the main player of Juventus, if there is Zambrotta in the back, it will not affect Gallas to leave.

Millwall has really strengthened its strength, and it is also very united internally, the main players were all there last season, and during the season preparation, it was also revealed that the 'dual core' tactics were used, and Millwall performed very well in the first two rounds of the league.

This may also have something to do with the fact that there are very few players in the Millwall team who participate in the World Cup.

Millwall's core players, most of whom did not play in the World Cup?

Whenever he thinks about this question, Mourinho is very envious, and for a club manager, he will undoubtedly envy the team of the same level who is not affected by the national team. Millwall is one such team, and sometimes Mourinho even thinks, 'Why didn't I fall out with Eriksen?' Maybe Frank Lampard and John Terry will also be left out of the England team by then? ”

Just think about it, of course.

Even if the relationship with Eriksen is to a certain extent, Frank Lampard and John Terry will definitely enter the national team, otherwise the FA and England fans will definitely not agree.

The above problems can be summarized as Millwall's improvement, and Chelsea's decline to a certain extent.

One trades off the other.

It's not easy for Chelsea to win the Community Shield!
