Chapter 281: Faith and Madness

Neal Stadium is already boiling!

Millwall fans scrambled to their seats and most of the fans were already on their feet, everyone cheering in celebration.

It's an explosion that has been held back for a whole time!

Millwall were passive from the first minute of the game, and when Chelsea took the lead, more people were not optimistic that Millwall could tie up, and even they were not optimistic.

When it comes to understanding Chelsea, Millwall fans have more contact, the distance between the two clubs is not far, and the historical results are very different, but it does not prevent Millwall fans from having access to more information about Chelsea, and there are even many of them, and they have supported Chelsea, not that they are Chelsea fans, Millwall has been playing in the lower leagues, and the first thing they support must be Millwall, but if you look at the Premier League, you will support Chelsea, because the two teams have not competed in the past.

So this game can barely be called a derby.

Choosing between Chelsea and Millwall, of course they will support Millwall and hope that Millwall can beat Chelsea, before they were desperate and only wanted to give more support to the team, and it didn't matter if they lost.

Now they see hope again!

When Jamie Dardy set up Millwall's goal, the two teams were back on the same page.

Zhang Yang's heart is also much more stable.

It wasn't just a goal, it boosted the morale of the team.

When players are in the game, they are left with no hope in the situation and when the attack is difficult to make a difference, the question arises: can we beat Chelsea?

This mindset is dangerous.

Now that Vardy has equalised the scores, the doubts will be solved, they will believe that the team will win, and they will work harder and show better form.

Zhang Yang is also satisfied with the fact that the whole team relied on 'normal play' to complete the goal, and he was ready to use 'talk and say', or even not be able to score at all, and the team's offensive performance was very good, and some exceeded expectations.

That's a bonus!

Zhang Yang has also become more confident, believing that this goal is just the beginning, and the team will still take the initiative to attack and try to find a good opportunity to score.

It was a goal that had a big impact on Chelsea.

Chelsea's players are used to the '1-0' mentality, not that they all favour a one-goal winning style of play, but when they score first, it is difficult for opponents to catch up, and in the vast majority of games, a goal has been a victory.

Now Millwall are level on the scoresheet and a blow to Chelsea's morale.

The confidence of many Chelsea players will be shaken.

The performance of the Chelsea fans proved something, and the Blues fans in the crowd became a little silent, not expecting Millwall to be able to equalise.

The same goes for the Chelsea players on the pitch.

Even the head coach Jose Mourinho had a gloomy face, the game was unexpected, Millwall showed quite tenacity, scoring a goal is nothing, but when Chelsea are ahead, the impact of the goal is not small.

As a manager, Mourinho sees more.

Not only did the goal show Millwall's tenacity, but the combination of their overall performance, including the quality shown by the midway players, was also impressive, like Jody Morris, who was able to shake off Frank Lampard and attract Essien's attention, which was enough to prove that Morris was excellent.

'This player is not bad, how could Chelsea give up on him?'

In Mourinho's view, Morris may not be as good as Frank Lampard, but he is enough to occupy a position at Chelsea, with a tough defense, a good sense of the big picture, good attacking ability, and a very well-rounded individual skill, even in the current Chelsea, it is enough to have many opportunities.

In addition, Livermore, who said before the game, was also a great threat from a long shot, and a 30-meter shot directly threatened the goal, and it was obvious that Cech reacted a little slower, and such a powerful shot was no worse than Lampard.

Mourinho, of course, doesn't value Livermore, he's just unleashing a pre-match smoke bomb.

Now he was a little moved.

Livermore and Essien, one is not well-known, the other is Mr. 24 million pounds, but judging from the performance on the field, Livermore is much tougher defensively, and a long-range shot on the attack is enough to threaten the Chelsea goal.

Essien?

From the beginning of the game to the present, the Ghanaian can't even talk about the performance, and Mourinho has some regrets about letting him start.

Looking at Millwall's forward line, Darren Bent alone has attracted enough attention, maybe every Chelsea defender is more famous than Darren Bent, and his value is much higher, but Chelsea has to divide two people to limit Darren Bent, and because of this, the unknown youngster has the opportunity to face the goal.

Vardy?

This kid's luck is not bad, but being able to cut the door of the hand and score the ball calmly is enough to prove the tough game mentality.

That's a great thing for a 19-year-old.

Looking at Millwall's attack, midfield, wing, and then forward, every player has performed well, and thinking that most of them are just young players, Mourinho can't help but sigh, "What a gathering of talents!" ”

"At the end of this season, shouldn't we dig up a ......genius from it?"

To say that Mourinho doesn't care about the war of words before the game, it is almost impossible, everyone will evaluate in the accident world, and Mourinho is speechless to publicize a set of theories, and let the outside world understand, "Mourinho's vision is very poor." ”

Mourinho was in a bad mood, but he couldn't refute it.

In fact, Mourinho's vision is not bad, and most of the players poached can only play as substitutes, because other players are too good.

It's like a midfielder, can you still count on a player who can replace Frank Lampard as the core?

Impossible.

Frank Lampard is already a world-class star, and unless he poachs a Ronaldinho-level star, he will have to play as a substitute.

Chelsea are not attractive enough.

The world's top stars are dismissive of Chelsea, as evidenced by Ronaldinho's three rejections of Roman Abramovich's offer.

Now that Chelsea's squad has become more stable, even if it is to tap young talents, there is no point at all, and the young talents of other clubs can't even play as substitutes at Chelsea, so what's the point of buying these players?

But Millwall's talent is still tempting, such as Darren Bent up front.

Jose Mourinho is sure that Darren Bent will also have a place at Chelsea, and his performances will be quite good, and he will definitely become a top star in the future.

Now it's a genius, and the future is a big star.

That's the value of excavation!

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Seven minutes into the second half, Millwall equalised, which also meant that the suspense of the game increased.

However, Chelsea's advantage is still very large, their squad is strong, and the performance on the field is also quite good, after Millwall's substitution adjustment, Chelsea still occupy the initiative in the situation, and the threat to Millwall's goal is also very big.

If there were goals to follow, many thought it would belong to Chelsea.

"It's good to have one in Millwall!" Most people hold similar views. Some of the media outlets, who were thinking about Millwall, began to say "Millwall should start defending!" Holding on to one point is tantamount to victory".

If there are Chinese fans who hear similar calls, they will definitely feel very familiar and familiar.

Isn't this the voice of a certain football association?

"A tie is a victory!"

Usually after a similar argument, the game only results in a loss.

That's interesting.

Zhang Yang doesn't think so, for Millwall, a draw is tantamount to failure.

Millwall are aiming for the semi-finals this season, the first task of the managerial career module, and success means recognising Zhang Yang as a manager, and failing is considered 'not having the potential to be a manager'.

As things stand, the goal of the semi-finals is not difficult, with Manchester United, who are third in the league, also five points clear of Millwall.

If you only aim for the last four, a draw is a bit dangerous and will be chased by Manchester United in two, but it does amount to a victory, after all, Chelsea are at the top of the league.

But to lead the team, you have to have a heart to win!

The semi-finals are just the foundation, the championship is what should be done, with the heart to fight for the championship, the team can play well, Millwall is already ranked second, why not work hard? If you succeed, you can catch up with three points, and if you fail, you will only lose one point.

One point only!

The gamble was almost the same as no chips for Millwall.

Zhang Yang is not willing to draw, and neither will the whole Millwall team, everyone is working hard. Vardy's goal boosted the team's morale!

When the game resumed, Millwall continued their lively performances.

Despite being suppressed by Chelsea, Millwall's attacking form is not to be underestimated, and they are getting better and better.

For a while, the two teams were evenly matched!

It was a surprising surprise to see the pro-Chelsea media look bad and expect Millwall to do better, as they all want Chelsea to lose.

"Millwall is really good!"

"It's been a great time! There are very few teams that can go head-to-head with Chelsea! ”

"The defense is still a bit dangerous, but the offense is beautiful!"

"Hopefully Millwall will score again!"

'It would be interesting if Millwall could beat Chelsea and then there were only three points separating the two teams, maybe we could expect Millwall to win the title?'

"Haha......"

Amid the talk of many, Millwall launched a wave of documentation offensive, led by Jody Morris.

In the previous game, Jamie Vardy who scored goals was very dazzling, and Darren Bent, who attracted defensive attention in the frontcourt, was also quite good, but the best performance was undoubtedly Morris, both defensive and offensive, Morris played quite well, and Lampard did not fall behind.

After dribbling across the halfway line, Morris was met by a scramble.

This time it's Essien.

Essien quickly approached and wanted to stop the ball, Morris made a small change of direction, he didn't want to pass the opponent, just delayed the time slightly, but he didn't expect Essien to be deceived, seeing the opponent's mistake, Morris calmly broke through with the ball.

"Essien has been ......"

Mike Bullard shouted in surprise, and the other commentators were equally surprised, none of them expected Essien to be in such a bad state and be shaken so easily.

Mourinho didn't expect it either, and he couldn't help frowning.

Essien moved to Chelsea in the summer and has made a lot of appearances so far, but his performance has been average, which is why the outside media has criticised 'bringing in Essien as a failed strategy'.

Jose Mourinho has always hoped that Essien can perform, but Essien has been disappointed again and again.

This time again.

Morris didn't expect that a not-so-brilliant feint could shake off the 'famous' Essien, but he didn't take it to heart, and continued to carry forward after the breakthrough, waiting for Makelele to come over, worried about being caught in front and back, before handing the ball to Darren Bent in front.

Darren Bent squeezed Terry hard, turned and kicked back to Livermore.

Livermore returned to Lockren Ward, and Darren Ward followed with a kick and stabbed Morris.

After a couple of shifts in football, Millwall's overall formation pressed.

Millwall is not good at 'possession', nor does it deliberately pursue rhythm, when the formation is pressed, everyone knows that they are going to attack, and the simplest and most direct attack is what the team is good at.

After receiving the pass, Morris did not make any more short passes, but directly handed them to the wing.

Josh Simpson gets the ball!

Now you don't have to think about it to know what to do, Simpson stops the ball and heads forward!

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The Simpson rushed!

Since the start of the game, Simpson has not had many chances, most of the time, he has teamed up with his teammates when he gets the ball, but now he has exploded with speed.

William Gallas was the player opposite Simpson, he was right in front of Simpson, and he thought Simpson would continue to pass the ball, but he didn't expect it to suddenly accelerate.

Garras was a little flustered and quickly pasted it, but his reaction was a little slow, and he couldn't stop it at all, so he could only chase after him.

Simpson lunges forward with the ball!

Simpson's abilities are very average, the technical level is not high, the only thing is speed, in the Millwall team, only Darren Bent can be compared, when rushing up with the ball, it is like a gust of wind that makes people react.

By the time the ball reached the baseline, Gallas still hadn't caught up.

Simpsons turned to stop the ball and after possession of the ball to avoid a steal from Gallas, he glanced at the box and passed the ball back to Alan Hutton.

Alan Hutton is a full-back, his defence has caused a lot of problems for Chelsea, and he has not shown much in attack and will not let the opponents underestimate him, and Makelele will immediately dwell on it.

Alan Hutton doesn't let Makelele get entangled, he's not the kind of player with very good technique at his feet, and it's hard to pass the ball when he gets entangled, and he pushes the ball wide of the middle.

Millwall's formation was very forward.

Darren Ward sprinted across the halfway line and Alan Hutton caught up and with two defenders stepping forward, Millwall looked like they were under siege for the Chelsea half.

At this point, everyone looks to the edge of the penalty area.

The players who followed up at the edge of the penalty area were Jody Morris, David Livermore, and Darren Bent, who followed up, when the football was passed, no one could make a judgment at the first time, and in the end, Morris, who threw off Lampard, got the ball, but he couldn't control the ball at all, and could only meet the ball and kick it into the box.

Many people subconsciously think that the ball will be passed to Darren Bent, because there are only two people in the box, Bent and Vardy, Vardy? The youngster had scored a goal, but it was a stroke of luck and his young movement made it easy for the Chelsea defenders to limit.

When a Chelsea player saw a figure following from the left, he couldn't help but exclaim!

Many fans also shouted!

Jose Mourinho in the Chelsea dugout, Yao Ming with a gloomy face, he didn't expect Millwall to play such a wonderful combination.

That's Braniff!

Darren Bent is a threat, but he is very restricted, Jamie Vardy scores a goal, but he has too little experience in the game, and he seems too immature to be much of a threat, and the sudden appearance of Braniff is different, as long as he runs in the box to receive the ball, he can form a direct threat to the goal.

Really!

Braniff ran over to the ball and picked up his right foot the next moment!

"Braniff β€”β€”!"

"Sky Sports" commentator Mike Bullard shouted, followed by exclamations from the scene, and the audience suddenly became a section higher.

Under everyone's gaze, Braniff raised his right foot and kicked hard behind the ball!

"Bang!"

The soccer ball slammed into the goal!

Before goalkeeper Petr Cech could react, the ball flew in his hand and the only thing he could do was turn his head and send it into the net.

β€œGooooooooooal!!!”

"Braniff! Kevin Braniff! Braniff helped Millwall to overtake the scoreline!

β€”β€”β€”β€”

When Millwall equalised, everyone knew it would be a better game, but no one could have imagined that Millwall would score a second goal so quickly.

2 to 1!

Millwall overtook the score!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Only five minutes and thirty seconds were scored between the two goals, but in just six minutes, Millwall scored again! Chelsea would not have imagined that their pride, sturdy goal, would be punctured twice in six minutes! ”

Six minutes, two goals!

The opponent is not a small club, but Chelsea, a Blues who are known for their solid defense and strength.

The fans in the stands went crazy!

The players on the field also went crazy, everyone gathered around Braniff, and Braniff was laughing, "I said a long time ago, when I come back from injury, I will definitely score!" As long as I'm on the pitch, what does Chelsea count!? ”

"Did you see my goal? That Czech's reaction was overwhelmed! ”

"Hahaha......"

In normal times, when Branifer 'bragged' about himself, his teammates would not have been birds, but now it is different, and Braniv has scored the crucial goal.

That's a reversal!

This goal gave all the players a glimpse of victory, and they surrounded Braniff, laughing and echoing --

"Well done!"

"That shot was so handsome! Sure enough, it's Kevin! ”

"Awesome!"

"How do you know that there is a chance to rush over at that time!"

"Seriously, I thought Jody had a bad pass! I didn't expect you to run over! It's so handsome! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In the praise of his team-mates, Braniff's face was full of pride, and he felt that today was a happy day, and it was perfect to come back after injury, even if it broke the Chelsea goal.

In everyone's celebration, Zhang Yang also hugged Wise excitedly.

This goal cannot be overstated!

Like Vardy's goal, Zhang Yang didn't do anything during the whole attacking process, but the team still performed quite well, relying on the cooperation of all positions, and even broke through the Chelsea defense, and Braniff also scored the ball with a clever stroke.

It's so exciting!

It feels incredible!

Perhaps this is the result of all the unity and everyone's efforts!

"Football, it's really a team sport!"

Compared to the state of the entire team, what are the few supernatural abilities?

Zhang Yang is full of confidence in the team.

When the referee beckoned the game to restart, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines, and many people analyzed that he would direct the team to defend, but he waved his arm forward and made an almost 'world football' gesture -

"Keep attacking!"

Zhang Yang shouted in cooperation, and his somewhat hideous face proved his confidence and madness.
