Chapter 556: We Still Need Learning Experience
After completing the shot, Simpson immediately turned around, waved his arms wantonly, and kept shouting in celebration, there was no need to be sure of the result, he was absolutely confident that the football would definitely be scored.
The next moment, the stadium also resounded with a huge cheer.
"The ball went in ββ!"
"2 to 0!"
βGoooooooooooalοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
Jon Brown let out a long roar on the stadium broadcast, his enthusiasm igniting the Millwall fans in the stands, and the background was filled with fan cheers, "Simpson!" Simpson! Second goal! The Simpson scored the ball cleanly! β
'It was a chance created by Braniff who shook off Mikel and rushed into the box and played a brilliant ball that Vardy in the middle was so realistic that he caught almost all the attention, but he eventually slipped the ball and Simpson followed up and scored the ball!"
'Millwall unleashed a flurry of combinations, in the Chelsea penalty area! Chelsea in the box! Braniff's pass was beautiful and Vardy's performance was so good that no other Chelsea player could have imagined that a Simpson would suddenly burst out from behind! β
Jon Brown did not forget to quip, "Maybe the Oscars should give Vardy a 'Best Actor in Soccer Match'." β
No matter how brilliant Vardy's performance is, he is not the player who scores, and many people still shout Simpson's name.
The Millwall players were also in a mess of celebrations, with everyone hugging Simpson in the past, even Maxey and Sneijder, who knew what the second goal meant.
The game is almost over.
They will beat Chelsea to claim their first title of the season β the Community Shield!
All the Millwall fans were aware of this and cheered as they watched from the crowd as they had less than ten minutes left and they could celebrate the victory early.
Millwall dugout.
Zhang Yang, Pierce, and the substitute players and staff also huddled together, and they chanted victory together.
Zhang Yang was squeezed in the middle, with a faint smile on his face, not as excited as others, just standing there looking at the court, occasionally saying a word to the people next to him, he was also happy about the situation.
Community Shield, it's really nothing.
Zhang Yang was moved and relaxed by the game situation, this game must be won, the 'good start' is very meaningful, the team scored two goals, and there is nothing to worry about.
Others can say, 'Millwall basically won', and Zhang Yang can say with certainty, 'We've definitely won!' β
The reason is ...... Avatar abilities have not been used.
Zhang Yang has always kept 'following his words', because there are no good opportunities, and when there are good opportunities, the team will directly score the ball.
It's a bit of an annoyance.
Even if Chelsea were given a chance, Zhang Yang decided to let it go away.
The means are not important, the victory is important.
On the other side of the Chelsea coach's box, the situation is much bleaker, seeing Simpson complete the goal, manager Grant's first reaction is to lament, "Sure enough, it was the winger who plugged in!" β
Grant analyzed Millwall's 'routine', and said it to the players at halftime, and the opening of the second half was also executed, but the team was more hopeful to score later, because they were still behind the score, and there was some negligence in defense, and Millwall still used the 'winger back in' to complete the final fatal blow.
There is no way around it.
What Grant didn't know was that the Chelsea players had a better impression of him because of the goal.
Chelsea players were unfamiliar with Grant before, but now they find that the Israelis still have a set of tactics for analysis, he constantly emphasizes the defensive wing, Millwall really used the wing to insert to get the final goal, even the striker Vardy, is just 'dumpy' to attract the defense, and the scoring process is exactly the same as Grant's analysis.
Chelsea players also have some recognition of Grant, but their mentality is more of desperation, and even the most scrappy players know that they don't have a chance, and it definitely doesn't bode well for them to lose the Community Shield at the start of the game.
Millwall's defence played well, and they wanted to rely on the last two goals to equalise the scoreline, which was almost like a dream.
That's an absolute miracle.
But miracles are not easy to create, and the game is basically no chance.
Millwall got off to a great start to the season and they had to contend with losing the title in their first game.
ββββ
Chelsea didn't give up easily.
In the closing stages of the game, they continued to storm towards Millwall's goal, hoping to score a goal. Scoring a quick goal also means regaining hope, even if time is running out, and it is better to have hope than no hope.
Chelsea fought fiercely and vented their dissatisfaction with the score into the game.
The anger of both sides was hit.
Chelsea's Mikel Mikel and Kalou each received a yellow card, and Millwall also had a yellow card for Branifer, and when he fought with the opponent, he was considered too big and too dangerous.
Braniff felt wronged and kept complaining about his teammates.
The referee did not change because of his dissatisfaction, and the referee also used consecutive yellow cards to intimidate the players on the field, temporarily suppressing the fierce situation.
In the final five minutes, Millwall held on to the net and did not give Chelsea any chance.
Chelsea attacked again and again, but it didn't work.
Pizarro, who had high hopes from Grant, barely showed any performance, while Malouda was slightly better, but only passed the ball with his team-mate, and had a good cross.
That's all.
With the referee's whistle blowing, the Community Shield game ended, relying on goals from Pire and Simpson, Millwall defeated Chelsea 2-0, completing the successful defense of the Community Shield, which is equivalent to winning the 'London Derby' in the mouth of the media.
The result was unacceptable to Chelsea supporters.
The history of the war between Chelsea and Millwall is a history book full of pathos, two seasons can write a history, Chelsea fans regard Millwall as an absolute mortal enemy, and some fans have a better sense of Millwall than the real rival Fulham, after all, no matter how 'hostile' Fulham is, they have not snatched away Chelsea's championship.
The defeat also left Chelsea fans unhappy, with the team seemingly having little chance and Millwall scoring a goal in each half, as if to say, 'It was easy to win.' β
Chelsea were defeated.
Judging from the game scene, Chelsea and Millwall are also evenly matched, and they are not at an absolute disadvantage, and there are many offensive opportunities, and the number of shots on goal in the whole game is only two less than Millwall.
So why did Chelsea lose?
Forward efficiency!
Even the most ordinary fan will know that the loss was in the efficiency of the attack, and the same number of shots on goal, Millwall scored two goals and Chelsea did not.
That's the front line gap!
Millwall's goal-scoring players are left and right wing-backs, which can also be said to be left and right wingers, but in fact, they played a very fluid combination in midfield, especially in the latter goal, the tacit understanding between the midfield and the wing, the midfielder and the striker, allowing them to cooperate in the Chelsea penalty area, and finally the left and right wingers stepped forward to complete the fatal blow.
Chelsea were able to play fluidly but not create as many chances as Millwall and had a mediocre finish.
Many fans thought it was Shepchenko's problem, and in the first half Shepchenko had three chances on goal, all of which were wasted in the end, and he didn't even create a single threat.
Some fans criticized Pizarro for his lack of performance.
Even Drogba, who has been on the field and attacked Millwall's goal as a center forward, has been complained by many fans, because Drogba only attracted the defense, only a poor shot, or a header completely missed.
Chelsea's support media are a bit more professional and believe that Chelsea are doing well and that the problem is in the defence on the wings.
'Millwall's two goals, almost a routine, were Jamie Rindy to draw the defence, the midfielder pushed on the side, and the wide players plugged in to complete the goal.
'Chelsea were so focused on defending in the middle that they didn't care too much about the wings, which allowed Millwall to keep finding chances.
"Chelsea's overall performance is still good, and we can see from the game that the two sides are definitely at the same level, and the ultimate reason for Chelsea's defeat lies in the targeted defensive arrangement."
"Grant certainly didn't do a good job in that regard, and he probably didn't know what to do with Millwall."
ββ¦β¦β
Chelsea's support media blamed Grant for a few games, but in fact, the Chelsea players have become more respectful and trusting of Grant because of Grant's arrangement.
After the game, Chelsea Football Club also slapped the media in the face, and just after losing the Community Shield, the club's official website issued a statement saying, "The club has signed a one-year contract with Grant and he will lead Chelsea to all competitions in the new season." β
How many games will you lead?
The Israelis are going to lead the team for a season!
The media exploded!
ββββ
Millwall didn't care about how Chelsea exploded and won their first title of the new season, and it was definitely a celebration to celebrate.
The whole crew was on the court and had an excited celebration.
Halfway through the players, including coaches and staff, they were also interviewed, Zhang Yang was the core of the interview, he faced the BBC TV reporter, very low-key said, "The win is expected, but also unexpected." Our goal is to win, but football is a sport that no one can say. β
'I'm very happy to see the players doing really well and I'm going to give credit to some of the players, Kevin, he's been very active on the pitch, and Pire, Simpson, and the goals are going to get a lot of attention, so I won't talk about them, but a couple of players that a lot of people would probably overlook, Jamie, David, and all of our defenders.
'It's only been reported that we scored two goals, but it's rare to say we didn't concede. I think the latter is the key, and if we let them score, we were tied up. β
"That's what I like the most. Defence is fundamental to a team, I've always stressed that, the players have followed through on my ideas, they've put a lot of effort into defending. β
Next, the BBC reporter asked Zhang Yang to comment on the opponent Chelsea, especially their manager Grant.
Zhang Yang said, "Chelsea are a top football club, and I'm sure no one will deny that. They weren't very lucky, yes, when they played against us, they always struggled to score goals thanks to our defence. But luck is also a big factor, we've played against each other a lot and it's incredible to think about how many times we beat Chelsea. β
Zhang Yang also made a surprised expression, as if what he said was the truth.
This expression is interpreted as 'the innocence of young people'.
The media that support Chelsea are as disgusting as flies when they report it, and if they say that Millwall beat Chelsea with strength, they feel better, after all, it was the Millwall manager who said it, not what they analyzed.
On the other hand, they don't always say they're unlucky.
Once it's luck, twice it's luck, and every time you lose...... Or luck? This modesty, to the extreme, is a bit of an irony.
Zhang Yang continued, "As for Grant...... I wasn't familiar with Grant and I met him and he gave me the impression of being friendly and not like a ...... Ahem, you should understand. I believe Chelsea have chosen Grant for a reason. He should be at a certain level, and Chelsea will change style under him? I can't say that, but I would wish him every success. β
The media interviews are not over yet.
With the new season just around the corner and Millwall winning their first title, what's next?
This is something that a lot of people care about.
Zhang Yang said in a low-key manner, "We have won two championships. It's also hard for any team to win the championship three times in a row...... I can't imagine it, so let's aim low, the semi-finals, it's great to be in the semi-finals, and in recent years, the competition in the Premier League has become fierce and it's not easy to get a good result. β
Such a low-key statement made BBC reporters couldn't help but complain, "Millvolvo has won the championship twice, and it is said that the Premier League is 'fiercely competitive', what do other teams say?" β
The BBC reporter has a good impression of Zhang Yang, because Zhang Yang has interned at the BBC and can be regarded as a former 'colleague'.
After this former colleague 'changed jobs', the promotion speed was too fast, but his personality was still very modest.
The reporter commented.
If you think about it from another angle, I led Millwall to win the league championship in a row, and I will definitely be the champion when I talk about the season!
No doubt!
Zhang Yang doesn't know what the reporter in front of him thinks, Millwall won two league championships, and Millwall was bombarded outside, and all kinds of unsupportive voices were flooded, so he had to keep a low profile, and silently won the championship, why use words to attract hatred?
The same goes for the Champions League.
"Our goal in the Champions League is to qualify from the group, although we are the defending champions in the new season, after all, we are only a new club, we are new to the Champions League, and we need to learn from other teams......
