Neil Stadium Away Coach's Box.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho stared at Jamie Vardy and Braniff on the pitch, a slight smile on his lips, and on the surface it looked a little kind, but those who are familiar with Mourinho will know that it means 'disdain'.

Jose Mourinho didn't care about Millwall's substitutions.

When he saw Millwall bring on two strikers in one go, Mourinho felt that Chelsea's chance had come.

In many games, after Chelsea scored, the opposition stepped up their attack in the second half, either conservatively and only slightly more aggressively, while others were more extreme, replacing the defenders with strikers.

Millwall simply made the choice of 'center', as Konchesky and Smitchell, who were substituted, could also be counted as front-court players.

What good can this be?

Millwall must want to fight with attack, if Manchester United and Arsenal do this, Mourinho will be more vigilant, after all, the strength of the two teams is worse than Chelsea, and it is definitely not much worse, and some positions are better than Chelsea, such as the forward line of the two teams, Van Ni and Henry are the top scorers in the world, and Drogba is still a little worse in comparison.

Millwall?

The strength of this team's squad is so poor that even if two strikers are deployed, the offensive ability will not improve much, because their players are already poor.

Braniff?

Vardy?

The former is touted by the media as a forward talent, the latter seems to be unknown, even if both are forward talents, it doesn't matter at all, Chelsea's squad, every player when they are young, can be said to be a genius, and a more famous talent, and they have all grown up, the other party's talent is still very young, and has just emerged in the top league, maybe in a few years, they can grow into a top star, now they are still too immature.

Millwall's gambling substitutions were nothing more than a death throes and didn't make much sense at all.

Journalists in the media table share a similar view, and anyone who knows Chelsea knows that many of their opponents will make the same choice.

But which opponent succeeded?

Even Arsenal and Chelsea stepped up their attack in the second half and lost easily to Chelsea because they couldn't find the back of the net.

Millwall...... Lost! ”

"The next suspense may become when Chelsea will find an opportunity to extend their lead!"

'It's a gambling substitution, but it doesn't really mean much against Chelsea's impregnable defence!'

"In the face of such a powerful opponent, there is nothing to do about Zhang Yang!"

“……”

After the game restarted, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines, and unlike other people's ideas, he was looking forward to the game.

In some ways, Mourinho and the media had a good idea, but the only thing they didn't judge was Millwall's attacking prowess.

It's Millwall's 'extreme attacking formation' on the pitch now.

There must be a reason why it is described as 'extreme', the strikers Darren Bent, Jamie Vardy, the two wingers Braniff and Josh Simpson, all four players are young, among them Simpson and Vardy are under 20 years old, and they all have one thing in common: almost no defense is good.

Among them, there is only Braniff, all abilities are very average, and there are some defensive abilities, but Braniff played as a striker before after all, and his defensive ability is good and limited.

In many cases, not being good at defense is just a shortcoming, but judging by the overall strength of the players, it also shows that the offensive ability is very strong, and it is precisely because they are not good at defense that Zhang Yang thinks it is an 'extreme offensive formation'.

In ordinary games, Zhang Yang will not let several people play.

In that way, the team's defensive pressure will be all focused on the other players, and the front court will not be able to block and cause some trouble for the opponent.

Now the situation is different.

Millwall had to get on the scoresheet as soon as possible or the situation would be firmly in Chelsea's hands.

————

At the beginning of the second half, Millwall played two waves of attack in a row-

The first wave was initiated by Jody Morris, and after the ball was passed to the left wing, Braniff dribbled to the bottom line and was cleared by Gallas on the way to the cross.

The second wave was a steal at the back, Livermore grabbed the opponent's ball, and handed it directly to Simpson on the right side, Simpson quickly dribbled the ball over the halfway line, and then a big foot hoisted to the edge of the penalty area, Darren Bent rushed up to complete the shot, the shot was a little too hasty, the ball rolled over the bottom line, and failed to pose a threat to the goal.

Chelsea were followed by a wave of hard-hitting attacks.

Two links between the midfielder and the flanks brought the ball to the left side of the box, and then Joe Cole's cross set up a chance for Dutch star Arjen Robben to go close to finding the back of the net with a powerful shot.

Seeing Hislop pounce on the ball, Millwall let out a long breath.

Chelsea secretly complained about pity.

It was a great opportunity and Arjen Robben had a powerful shot, but Hislop was the better at it, judging and keeping the ball in his arms.

Many people have a high opinion of Heathrop.

Heathrop has played for England throughout his career, and his quality has been recognised by many.

Worldwide, Heathrop is not very famous.

This may be because Heathrop is not a 'top national team player', having joined England's youth team twice before ending up in the Trinidad and Tobago shirt and has never been out of the world's top national competitions.

In addition, Heathrop did not join the big clubs and did not win the top championship in his career. He has played for Reading, Newcastle United, West Ham United and Portsmouth, and his personal transfer was only in 1995, when he moved from Reading to Newcastle United for a transfer fee of £1.57 million, and the remaining few changes were free to sign at the end of his contract.

As can be seen from the above information, Heathrop is very low-key.

Throughout his career, Heatrop received several invitations from giants, including Manchester United, Arsenal, and other league giants, such as Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, etc., but he still did not choose to join the giants in the end.

The reason for this is simple: he can only play the main force.

It's like leaving Newcastle United, when England international James is getting better and better, there is no place for Hislop in the team, and he can only play second goalkeeper if he wants to stay, which he can't accept.

Eventually, Hislop chose to leave.

Now joining Millwall is the same, Zhang Yang has guaranteed his place in the main team, so Heatrop is here.

Unlike many professional footballers, perhaps due to the influence of family and elite education before becoming a professional footballer, Heatrop does not care much about external things such as salary and fame, and his private life hardly hypes himself, and he chooses to be by his side when he can relax and relax.

When considering a move, Heathrop also considers club places to make a choice, which is one of the reasons why he has played in the English league all his life.

Such a player deserves the respect of anyone.

Heatrop is now 37 years old, but his performances are still solid, no worse than other world-class goalkeepers.

After Hislop made the save, there were also many commentators who helped fans get to know Hislop, and many fans suddenly realized, "It turns out that there is such a football evergreen hidden in the Millwall team!" ”

But no matter how well Hislop plays, he is only a goalkeeper.

Millwall must score if they want to equalize, and seeing that Millwall's two waves of attacks failed to threaten, but Chelsea almost scored the ball in one wave of attack, more people are not optimistic about Millwall--

"Millwall's chances of winning are too slim!"

'Chelsea have shown a lot of attacking quality and they are very efficient and now the Millwall defence is too fragile......

'So far in the game, Millwall have not posed a direct threat to the Chelsea goal!'

“……”

Soon Millwall's next wave of attack came again, with Jody Morris in possession down the middle and Frank Lampard coming in to defend.

The two are going to go head-to-head.

Jody Morris is a key player for Millwall, Frank Lampard is a key player for Chelsea, and the clash between the two key players is very meaningful compared to the clash between Millwall and Chelsea, but what few people know is that for Morris himself, the game is very meaningful, and the direct confrontation with Frank Lampard is also very meaningful.

Jody Morris is the player who has made the Chelsea brand.

Many people talk about Morris's origins, knowing that he came through the Chelsea Academy, but few remember that he spent a lot of time in the Chelsea first team.

To be exact...... Seven seasons!

Seven seasons!

How long does a player's career last? Morris entered the Chelsea first team at the age of 16 and was a renowned talent at the time, no worse than Wayne Rooney two years earlier, and he was recruited by a number of big clubs, but ultimately decided to stay at Chelsea and play for his favourite club.

Maurice's Chelsea career has been tragic.

With the exception of 30 appearances for Chelsea in 1999/2000, he was limited to a substitute in the rest of the season, and when Fleck Lampard joined Chelsea from West Ham United, he was reduced to a marginal figure.

If Jody Morris were to give his own assessment of his Chelsea career, he would feel that the reason for the failure should be attributed to the brutality of the professional game, with the players who did not perform well being eliminated and the players who performed well staying.

The objective reason is this.

But no one will be willing to do the same thing.

Since leaving Chelsea, Morris has been hoping for the opportunity to play Chelsea head-to-head. Now, the dream has finally come true, with Millwall promoted to the Premier League and facing Chelsea head-on.

This is the best chance!

Millwall were suppressed throughout the game and some of the players in the squad were discouraged, but Morris was always full of fighting spirit, serious in the game, serious about tackling every challenge, and even more excited when facing Frank Lampard's defence: he wanted to beat Frank Lampard head-on to prove that the club had made a mistake in abandoning his choice.

Watching Frank Lampard come running, Morris forced himself to calm down and he made the move to prepare for the breakthrough.

Frank Lampard became cautious.

Morris took two steps forward and looked behind Frank Lampard, who tilted his body to block Morris's pass, but Morris took the ball to his left and accelerated towards it.

Frank Lampard is not easy to deal with, and after finding out that he was fooled, Lampard immediately used his body to jam the position.

Morris came close to running by a fraction of a second.

Frank Lampard turned back and gave chase, with only one position separating the two, Lampard caught up with the explosive speed, but his start was a little slow and it was impossible to catch up in a few steps.

On the other side, Essien hurried over to make up for it.

Morris glanced at Essien and was ready to pass: he didn't want to be caught between left and right.

————

As Morris broke through to Frank Lampard, the cries of Millwall fans rang out.

The situation on the pitch was a surprise.

Jose Mourinho was the one who didn't expect, and few players in the Premier League dared to break through Frank Lampard, but there was such a bold player in the opposing team?

And it worked?

Mourinho couldn't help but turn his head and ask Boas, the assistant junior brother, "Do you know that guy?" ”

"You say Morris?"

"Hmm."

"You don't know? Looks like you haven't prepared for the game! Villas-Boas smiled and said, "I've looked it up and he used to be a Chelsea player but left without a place. Since joining Millwall, he has been very strong, he is their core player, he has a good sense of the big picture, possession of the ball, and his ability to cooperate, and he is a very good midfielder. ”

"Former Chelsea player?"

What Boas said later, Mourinho ignored, he only remembered this sentence, and then shook his head regretfully and didn't say anything.

Mourinho regretted it, he felt that he should have looked more at the information of the opposing player, if he had known that this Morris had been a Chelsea player, then the smoke bomb released before the game should not have chosen Livermore, but this guy.

A Chelsea-trained player, a former Chelsea player, will definitely want to be re-recognized by Chelsea and get a chance to return to the team, right?

Mourinho thought with some regret.

————

Jody Morris didn't know what Mourinho was up to, but even if he was re-approved by Chelsea, he couldn't be tempted to return to Chelsea.

That's a memory, after all.

Now I still want to be recognized, but I just want to prove myself.

Thinking of the days when it was difficult to play at Chelsea in the past, compared to being the core of Millwall, he could play whenever he wanted, and every game was still in the limelight, he would never want to go back.

on the field.

Morris faced with the bag between Frank Lampard and Essien.

'Morris shook off Lampard, no...... It's a bit dangerous! Essien is over, but she's moving on! Forward! ”

"Hmm~~~"

"He passed!" Sky Sports commentator Mike Bullard exclaimed, "He gave the ball to Livermore!" ”

The game became more tense in an instant.

Livermore was unguarded and less than thirty metres from goal, and those who knew Livermore knew that he was already within the radius of his shot.

Thirty meters is still a bit far.

Livermore hesitated before receiving the ball, but finally swung his right foot firmly.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the ball crossed the penalty area and headed straight for goal.

Ball speed is blazing!

The force of the ball was very strong, it was not easy to make a save, goalkeeper Cech's vision was blocked, and it was too late to react, but fortunately, the ball was going to the middle, and Cech subconsciously raised his arm.

"Boom!"

The football and the muscles of the arm were held together and returned to the penalty area.

"Hoo ......"

Many Millwall fans let out a sigh of regret, but the attack was not over, the football returned to the penalty area, which also made the penalty area very tense, in less than a second, everyone in the stadium and all the fans in front of the TV, none of them made a blink movement, they all wanted to see the result as soon as possible.

A player in a Millwall jersey appeared on the television camera, swinging his right foot at the rolling ball.

"Danger!"

"Shoot!"

"Good chance!"

"Look at this ball!"

"Bang!"

That player didn't hesitate to shoot the ball!

With such a close-range volley, goalkeeper Petr Cech was powerless to stop it and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

"The ball is in!"

"Jamie Vardy!" It was only at this time that Sky Sports commentator Mike Bullard called out the name of the scorer.

————

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！”

"The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in! Millwall's striker Jamie Vardy equalised the score with a stoppage-up shot! ”

"Vardy! Vardy! According to the data, Jamie Vardy has just turned 19 and he played for an eight-tier team last season, but now he is in the Premier League, participating in the battle for first and second place in the league! ”

'We don't dare to say that Jamie Vardy must be a genius, but he's been in good form in the past, making a couple of appearances for Millwall and scoring two goals before that! As a nineteen-year-old, he's quite remarkable! ”

"Sky Sports" commentator Mike Bullard also marveled at Vardy, if in other games, scoring goals is actually nothing, Millwall has a lot of goals, all with the strong support of the midfield, strikers can have one or two goals by luck, but this game is different, Millwall's opponent is Chelsea, not every striker can break through the Chelsea goal, even if you are lucky to find an opportunity, can calmly start in the penalty area, but also prove something.

Mike Bullard said of Vardy, "He's amazing! "Then I started to introduce Vardy," the information shows that the youngster's birthday is January 11, and he brought himself a birthday gift with a goal a week in advance, which is quite expensive, and it is not something anyone else can give! ”

"Before that, Vardy was unknown, but I believe that this goal will make more fans remember his name!"

"Jamie Vardy!"

'It was a game-changer and Millwall equalised, and with Chelsea in the lead, few teams have been able to do it, and now that Vardy has done it for Millwall, we can expect more exciting games to come!'
