Chelsea dressing room.

Mourinho had a serious look on his face and the final goal gave him a long breath, but he was still not in a good mood, and the half-time draw against Millwall was not an easy scoreline.

So far in the league, Millwall's first ranking is really incredible.

Jose Mourinho doesn't quite understand why Millwall's results are so good. Their squad is a mess, and Chelsea can't be compared at all, but the results are very good, the home win over Chelsea, relying on solid defense, as well as the efficiency of the front-court counter-attack, but that is not a reflection of real strength, such as in the first half, Chelsea easily suppressed Millwall, the difference in strength between the two sides is vividly reflected.

Such an adversary......

Jose Mourinho has to admit that Millwall are a fantastic team who can play like that with a normal squad and score first at Stamford Bridge.

It was Maniche's mistake.

But Maniche made a mistake in the front, even if he gave the opponent a chance to counterattack, there would generally be no problem, but the opponent relied on this opportunity to break through the Chelsea goal.

"Really...... Can't give them any chance! ”

Mourinho sighed.

No matter how efficient Millwall are, their quality is there, and Chelsea's half-time draw is by no means a good scoreline.

Crespo was in an even worse mood.

The Argentine returned to the room with a straight face, and then sat in the corner with his head down, the others didn't speak when they saw Crespo, Frank Lampard and Crespo are very familiar, he is a good guy in the team, seeing the Argentine's face, he knows what is going on with the other side, Lampard went over and comforted, "Maybe it's tactical, it's hard to say what the boss thinks." ”

Crespo looked up and thanked him, then sighed, "Frank, you should know that he doesn't like me. Every time something happens, it seems to be my fault, I know the reason for being substituted because I passed it to Maniche and then he made a mistake......" he said with a wry smile, what kind of mistake can that be? Shouldn't you work with your teammates? Didn't the coach put Maniche on the pitch just to make him adapt faster?

Lampard let out a wry laugh.

Of course he knew what Crespo said, but what could he do? Mourinho's dislike of Crespo is known to everyone in the team, and even if Crespo performs well, he continues to be used as a substitute and was loaned to AC Milan last season.

With Kezman's departure, Crespo was supposed to partner with Didier Drogba as the main striker, but after only ten rounds of the season, Robben and Joe Cole began to take turns playing up front, and the number of appearances Crespo played was severely limited under Chelsea's 433 formation.

Crespo was inexplicably substituted in the first half, and the reason must have been in that pass, which was originally Maniche's mistake, but implicated Crespo, which was really wronged.

This has made Lampard a little unhappy with Mourinho.

Mourinho is an excellent manager, able to lead the team to continuous victory, the team also has absolute majesty, and also forcibly suppressed the locker room contradictions, but who caused the biggest conflict in the locker room at present? The paranoia of his use of players is the most important reason, and it also makes many players dissatisfied, and there are many contradictions in the dressing room.

Last summer, Damion Duff, Kezhman, Scott Parker and others all chose to leave.

The outside world said that it was because of the fierce competition within Chelsea, and the introduction of a few stars every summer, which also made the competition more and more fierce, and most of the players did not have a consistent number of appearances, but most of the team knew that the important reason for their departure was still dissatisfaction with Mourinho, because the players who performed poorly could get more playing time than them.

This creates injustice.

The so-called 'Mourinho faction' also comes from this, and it makes sense that they have been sidelined by other players.

Frank Lampard's exclamation didn't make a difference, he couldn't change Mourinho's mind, he could only regret Crespo and nothing else.

Fortunately, Lampard himself doesn't have to worry about position.

According to rumours, Chelsea are going to bring in German captain Ballack, and whether it is true or not, even if Ballack comes to Chelsea, it will not affect his appearance.

He, Frank Lampard, is Chelsea's most important midfielder and he will not be affected by who comes and who leaves in the future.

It's self-confidence that comes from ability.

At half-time, Mourinho did not talk about the first half, but directly talked about the second half, and like Millwall, Chelsea's overall style of play did not change, the Portuguese only highlighted some small details, as well as the issue of attacking origin.

Chelsea's pressing attack played well in the first half, but it started off with a flank that didn't improve, and then a kick that was a little out of shape, and even if a late goal was scored, it couldn't hide the problems in attack.

On some offensive details, Mourinho reminded all the players, and then also talked about defense, "Be careful, don't give the opponent any chance!" Bullish on Darren Bent, their counterattacks are all relying on Darren Bent! ”

Jose Mourinho emphasised a focus on defending Darren Bent.

Darren Bent can get Mourinho's emphasis on the team's key explanations, which can be regarded as a certain degree of recognition.

Chelsea rarely target individual opponents, even against Manchester United, Mourinho only mentions the defense of Van Nistelrooy, and other players don't look at it, even C-Ronaldo and Rooney, their ability is really good, but compared to the level of Chelsea players, it is actually nothing.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, Makelele's close defense will make him feel miserable, and it will be extremely difficult to perform.

Darren Bent is a little different, perhaps thanks to Millwall's tactics, who are the only players who stay up front and are able to limit Millwall's counter-attacks as long as they focus on defending.

————

At the start of the second half, Millwall played a wonderful attack, the football was quickly passed to the edge of the box after four passes, and then Morris fired a cold shot, the ball flew off the post by one metre and flew off the bottom line.

Chelsea were scared into a cold sweat.

The second half of the game had just begun, and most people felt that the game would already be controlled by Chelsea, and that it could only be Chelsea who could threaten the goal, but what they did not expect was that it would be Millwall who would be the first to threaten the attack.

Chelsea's defence was a bit out of the picture.

Mourinho saw that the ball did not score, and also exhaled, this is a 'sneak attack' of Millwall, no one would have thought that Millwall suddenly launched a fast attack, but fortunately did not complete the goal in the end.

Chelsea then attacked, but seemed to be frightened by the danger and played carefully, with the ball passing nearly ten times in central midfield before Frank Lampard kicked forward and officially launched the attack into the box.

Chelsea's pressing attack was extreme, using their strength to keep Millwall in the half, and at the same time, they also used fierce pressing to block Millwall's counter-attacking opportunities.

This style of play is quite bullying!

Chelsea relied on absolute strength to advance steadily, using the overall strength of the team, as well as the advantage that the individual ability of the players is generally stronger than Millwall, to complete the half-time press.

Millwall's defence has been solid and it won't be easy for Chelsea to find a threat anytime soon.

In the second half, Millwall became targeted.

Before Millwall was suppressed in the half, it was difficult to attack, Zhang Yang summed up the problems in the first half, and asked the players not to be impatient to do anything, but try to calm down.

Every player is trying to do it, and when they get the ball, they start trying to pass the ball forward instead of clearing it with their big feet, and they add some combination while kicking the ball out of danger.

The media and fans at the scene noticed that Millwall occasionally fought back.

The situation was surprising.

In fact, Chelsea's choice to suppress the style of play is also a last resort, at halftime, some football commentators analyzed, "Chelsea are trying not to give Millwall any chances, or rather, reduce the number of effective attacks they have, mainly because Millwall's attacking efficiency is too high." ”

"In the past league, a lot of statistics proved this, Millwall's offensive efficiency, the shooting efficiency of individual players, the goal scoring efficiency, are higher than other teams."

'It's like Darren Bent, one chance to convert him into a goal.

"In the face of this kind of opponent, although there is an absolute advantage in strength, we still have to try not to give any chance. That's why Chelsea opted for a pressive style of play to get Millwall to retreat to the point where they were 'no threat', and even if they got the ball, they could only rely on the individual performance of the frontcourt players at most, rather than the overall coordination, advancement, or quick counter-attack......

Many people are amazed by Millwall's efficiency, and they can't understand why Millwall is so efficient.

In addition, how did Zhang Yang, a young man in his early twenties, lead an ordinary promoted horse to the first place in the league? How did you make ordinary tactics a killer feature, and some extremely passive games can turn defeat into victory?

These are all surprising.

Of course, they don't know that Zhang Yang has 'supernatural ability', and if he uses it well in a game, he can help the team score goals, and a goal in football is too important, Millwall will naturally improve the efficiency of the front court and win more games.

Millwall's tactical advantage still comes from the "Speech Calculation", "Speech Calculation" can formulate the most suitable tactics for the lineup, and in the process of not planning to use the "Speech Calculation", Zhang Yang needs to constantly analyze the reasons for the change, so that his personal tactical ability has also been greatly improved.

The tactics Millwall are now using are the best suited to Chelsea.

As long as the team can play normally, the mentality of each player can become better, and Chelsea can rely on the strength of the squad to play to the advantage, but it is absolutely impossible to limit Millwall's counter-attack.

When Millwall hit several counter-attacks in quick succession, Chelsea were feeling a little tricky.

Chelsea's method of restricting Millwall was to use full-court pressing, limiting the football to Millwall's half, and forcing a large attack forced Millwall to shrink the formation.

The effect of this method is limited, and the Chelsea defense is a little dangerous, because they have already sacrificed the back defense first, Chelsea are a little uncomfortable, whenever they attack, they have to take care of the back defense, pay attention to whether the opponent is likely to complete the tackle, so as to directly threaten their own goal.

This scruple has also affected Chelsea's performance.

Sidelines.

Mourinho watched the game and felt very strange, Chelsea is much stronger, the squad has an absolute advantage, the play is still targeted, and the playing venue is Stamford Bridge, which occupies almost all aspects.

Millwall is often able to attack now?

Jose Mourinho has to admit that Millwall are going to be tougher than they were the last time they met.

In fact, Millwall has been improving.

Millwall has never played in the Premier League, most of the players in the team have no experience in the top league, and among the several core players, except for a few such as Jody Morris and Smitchell, the others are still young newcomers, and the newcomers are inexperienced, but the growth is very fast, and after gradually adapting to more games, they have all grown considerably, and Millwall will naturally become stronger.

Millwall at Christmas, and not as a team at the start; Millwall is not a team now and at Christmas, and as Millwall improves, their level of strength gradually catches up, and they must not be viewed as 'promoted horses'.

Millwall are ranked first in the league and their overall strength is definitely higher than the middle of the Premier League.

Although it can't be compared with Chelsea, as long as there is a normal performance, Chelsea can't be completely suppressed, and they want to use absolute strength to make Millwall have no chance, which is almost impossible to do.

Mourinho realised this, and he could no longer sit still, but walked to the sidelines, watched the game more closely, and frowned.

The game is a little out of control!

————

In fact, it was Chelsea who had the upper hand.

Millwall put in a couple of decent counter-attacks that didn't pose a direct threat to Chelsea, and as they played, the game got exciting, and no one wanted to see a 'game without suspense', where the two sides attacked and defended each other to make the game even more exciting.

As time passed, the competition became more and more intense.

Chelsea are still in the ascendancy, their possession time, number of passes and receptions, threatening passes, shots, etc., are much higher than Millwall, but Millwall is not without the ability to fight back, but instead used several quick attacks to threaten the Chelsea goal in succession.

In the 71st minute, Millwall launched a wave of fast attacks.

Braniff combined with Jody Morris and Smitchell = sent the ball to 30 yards in front of goal.

Chelsea were nervous.

In fact, at the beginning, when the football passed to this position, Chelsea would not worry too much, because Chelsea is one of the best defensive teams in the world, naturally they will not concede easily, but a goal from Millwall, including the previous successive threats, made the players and fans on the field change their minds, and when the football reached their own penalty area, they began to become nervous.

From the angle of the auditorium, you can see it clearly.

Millwall's formation was only slightly pressed, but the two wing-backs, along with central midfielders, midfielders and strikers, were already in the Chelsea half, and they were surrounded by the penalty line.

At this point, the football was handed to Braniff's feet.

Braniff was the left midfielder, opposite to Makelele and Gremie, Makelele was in the middle of the defense, Braniff took a step forward, and Gremi rushed over.

Braniff didn't pass the ball at the first time, and Geremi didn't make a move, opting to defend him closely.

Gramie didn't pay much attention to Braniff, at the beginning of the season, there were still a lot of media operations Braniff, and as soon as Christmas passed, Braniff disappeared from public view, not because he himself did not perform well, but because Darren Bent was too dazzling to cover up the light he radiated.

So far, Braniff still ranks second in Millwall in terms of goals scored and seventh in the league scorer list.

This aura doesn't do much for Grem.

Geremi is just an ordinary Chelsea player, but in English football, he is much more famous than Branifer, and with his excellent performances, he is regarded as the 'main substitute' in central midfield.

Chelsea's substitutes are no worse than Millwall's main team, especially in terms of defensive experience, Geremi is quite confident, and there are not many opponents who can get rid of him head-on in the Premier League.

Geremi was close to Braniff, ready to make a tackle at any moment, and kept an eye out for possible passes from Braniff.

Braniff had a different idea.

If other forwards, even Darren Bent, would have chosen to cooperate with his teammates against an experienced backcourt like Grami, Braniff held back the whole game, the team has been passive defensive, and he has little chance to perform.

Now there's a chance...... Pass?

How can it be!

"The show that shocks everyone starts with you!" That's what Braniff thought, he never thought about passing, but went straight to the break.

Sure enough, simply!

Braniff took the ball to the left and exploded with the intention of forcing an overtake.

At that moment, Geremi was a little dazed.

Geremi didn't expect that Braniff was so decisive, and there was no stagnation in the middle of the move, in other words, the other party did not hesitate at all, and directly chose to break through.

Graime was furious.

"When I'm a side dish? Don't look at me? A moment of anger could not hide the stiffness of his body movements, Grami could not react immediately, and by the time Braniff broke out, it was too late for him to do the restriction, so he could only desperately chase after him, but he was still pulled down from his position.

The two ran quickly on the flank.

Braniff rushed forward with the ball fiercely, trying to shake off Grami, but the latter was not so easy to shake off, and when he was about ten meters away from the baseline, he could only slow down and sweep the ball with his body while sweeping the road.

Braniff is going to pass the ball!

Geremi was the first to make this judgment, and his right foot suddenly stretched out and crossed the passing path in the middle.

But Braniff only stopped for a moment, and continued to sprint forward!

Graemy has been deceived!

When Geremi realized that he had been deceived again, his heart suddenly became extremely annoyed, but the action was made, and there was nothing he could do to catch up again, he could almost only watch Braniff calmly stop the ball, and then swing his right foot to the middle.

The football flew more than a dozen meters and rushed to the front of the small penalty area.

"Good shot!"

"Braniff!"

"Look at this ball!"

“……”

With an exclamation, all eyes were on the Chelsea goal.

The football was sent to the line of the small penalty area!

A couple of players followed, including Chelsea players and Millwall, with Claude Makelele failing to touch the first point and John Terry watching the ball roll by.

And then ...... Morris!

"Dangerous ——!"

"Chance!"

Two voices represent two attitudes, but the sound couldn't stop it from happening, and Morris squeezed Lampard and rushed over, raising his right foot and nudging the ball -

The soccer ball turns around and flies into the goal!

1 to 2!

Millwall, who visited Stamford Bridge, regained the lead over the home team Chelsea! Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
