Looking at the cheering Millwall players, the Chelsea stars were unwilling.

They weren't willing to concede the ball.

Looking back on the whole game, they couldn't understand why they played passively.

Millwall is a good team, they won Chelsea twice last season, but it was just good, even after being beaten twice last season, the Chelsea players didn't think Millwall was so strong, the other side was just luckier and played better on the field.

That's the real feeling of the game.

In last season's encounter, they clearly felt that there was a gap in quality between the opposition and their own side, and each of their players, when facing Millwall players alone, would feel very relaxed.

Now it's different.

Millwall's whole team has made a lot of progress, but this is not surprising to them, the addition of Pire and Zambrotta has made a lot of progress in the opponent's side and backfield, and the other Millwall players are the main force last season, and it is not surprising that they are strong.

The point is, the overall cooperation of the other side suppressed Chelsea!

From the beginning of the game to the present, they feel that they are not playing against Millwall, but against top attacking teams such as Barcelona and Arsenal, and Millwall's performance is still very good, definitely better than Arsenal against Chelsea.

How could Millwall have changed so much?

The Chelsea players are not reconciled because of the gap between the two sides, Millwall made additions in the summer, but there is still a huge gap with the gorgeous Chelsea.

On the Chelsea front, a Schepchenko is worth more than 50 million euros, and the salary he gets is almost higher than that of the last two Darren Bent, and the comparison of other positions is also obvious, Chelsea's overall value and salary level are more than twice as high as Millwall.

For professional players, value and salary are almost a sign of ability and fame.

In front of Chelsea's luxury squad, Millwall is just a Diao Silk team, but such a Diao Silk team has a strong counterattack against them, not to mention two wins last season, and when they meet again this season, they will be suppressed all over the field.

The Chelsea players couldn't find a reason for being suppressed, and they didn't understand why they conceded two goals in the game.

As the game went on, the Chelsea players were a little impatient, hoping to use the remaining time to get back on the scoresheet, even if there was a glimmer of hope.

The fighting spirit of the Chelsea players was commendable, but their impatience led to a chaotic combination, with some players picking up the ball from outside the box, far from goal, and simply shooting from distance.

This kind of shot will certainly not lead to results.

In the 79th minute, Chelsea made another substitution, with Jose Mourinho bringing on Graimi and Arjen Robben in one go.

Geremi comes on in place of Essien.

Robben replaces Kalou.

"It's the last stand!" Sky Sports commentator Paul Scott pointed out: 'Including stoppage time, the game was less than fifteen minutes and it was difficult for Chelsea to score two goals in fifteen minutes, but they had no other options. ”

'Arjen Robben was injured during the World Cup and didn't play in the summer, so I don't know how he is now.

'Geremi should be in good form, maybe Essien should have been off sooner, he didn't do much to help the attack.'

Robben and Geremi came on and quickly settled into the game.

Just like the commentator said, Robben has just recovered from injury and missed the summer preparations, and his form will definitely be affected.

Geremi is actively involved in the attack, but it is very difficult for a team fringe man, who is not very trusted by his teammates, who has won the ball very fewly.

Despite the poor performances of the first two players, Chelsea pressed heavily and unleashed several waves of attacking waves, with little regard for the defence at the back, in pursuit of the goal.

Millwall had no choice but to retreat to defend.

In fact, just like the media analyzed, Millwall's offense played beautifully, and defense was also a big problem, adding two forwards to the 'dual-core' tactic, and there was one less person in the backfield.

Whether it is a back three, a double back or a back four, a single back, can not make up for the lack of one back, when the opponent launches a big offensive, the best choice is to retreat to defend, the retreat of the middle line will also make the flexibility of attack and defense greatly reduced.

This is also one of the disadvantages of the 'dual-core' tactic.

The game has reached this point, Zhang Yang began to take a serious look, in Chelsea's continuous attack, he can take a concrete look at the shortcomings of the team's tactics, find out the shortcomings and try to make up for them, the tactics can become more perfect.

In the next game, Chelsea pressed heavily and took the initiative, but at the expense of the defence, when they launched the attack, there were one or two players left in the back, and even the centre-backs were assisted.

Millwall made two clearances in a row but couldn't find a chance.

The most active player in the game turned out to be Wright-Phillips, who has been basically a transparent man since he came out, replacing Shepchenko, but not doing better than Shepchenko.

By the end of the period, Phillips had become much more active, using his nimble foot skills to keep a one-on-one with Koncheski without conceding the ball, and on another occasion he shook off Koncheski and almost created a chance for his team-mates with a cross.

Sky Sports commentator Paul Scott also gave Phillips a positive assessment: 'Phillips has been quite consistent and impressive despite Chelsea's overall sluggish performances. ”

"Maybe his regret is that he missed the World Cup in Germany because of the slump last season, if he insists on this performance, he will definitely have a chance in four years!"

In addition to Phillips, Chelsea have one player who has been doing well, and that is striker Didier Drogba.

Didier Drogba has actually been doing well.

He's just like Darren Bent, who, if not performing, is no worse than any other player because Drogba has to face a tight defense and he's stuck in the quagmire of defense.

Zambrotta and Darren Ward are all focused on him.

With this kind of tight defence, Drogba was able to find two shots on goal in the space of ten minutes, and one threatened the Millwall goal, which is quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, no goals were scored.

If a striker doesn't score, it's hard to get a positive rating.

————

Chelsea's attacking threat is still not small.

Chelsea were in good form in the closing stages, with shots up front and shots in midfield, albeit a little impatient, to threaten Millwall's goal in a row.

In this dangerous state, Zhang Yang analyzed the game very calmly, and he also discussed with Wise, "We should improve the style of play, maybe we should let Simpson and Morris retreat a little, which can strengthen the defense, like in the face of the current offensive, the defense has some problems." ”

Wise nodded continuously, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Zhang, aren't you worried about the opponent's goal at all?" ”

"Goals? Of course. ”

Zhang Yang pretended to be very worried, but the fake made Wise pout, and he simply shrugged his shoulders, "I'll be worried, but we are two goals ahead, and they can't catch up with one goal." ”

He was really not worried at all.

Wise reluctantly accepted the reason, and Zhang Yang added, "And my worries don't show on my face." I've always been like this, you should get used to it. ”

"But we've been working together for a year and a half, and I still haven't adapted." Wise spit out.

Whenever he encounters a big competition, he is always worried about the game, Zhang Yang always looks relaxed, Wise really doesn't know why Zhang Yang is so calm.

Could this be the reason for Zhang Yang's success?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Wise's mind, and as soon as this thought came out, he couldn't stop it, and then he thought about the argument in his seat - "The Logical Relationship between Calm and Successful Coaches".

Presumably Wise won't get much of it.

Even if you get it, it's definitely pseudoscience, the result of a person's cranky thinking.

Zhang Yang watched the last three minutes carefully, and then the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The final match was 2-0.

Millwall beat Chelsea to claim their first title of the new season, the Community Shield.

The Community Shield championship has no special significance, compared to the English League Cup, it is a bit of a chicken rib, but it is always a trophy, you can say that it is 'won the championship', and the Community Shield trophy is also very interesting, it is not actually a trophy, but a 'prize shield'.

Shortly after the game, Josh Simpson, who won the Man of the Match award, went to the rostrum to receive the red wine and by the way, received the medal shield from the FA commissioner, and then he returned to the pitch to celebrate and take photos with the team.

This is the end of the Community Shield.

Although the award ceremony was very simple, even the FA didn't care too much, and Millwall didn't ask for any formality, but they were still happy to win the title, and after the game, the Millwall goal celebrated in the stands and the Millwall players celebrated in the stadium.

Everyone cheered together for a long time.

While the team was constantly celebrating and cheering, Zhang Yang was already participating in the post-match press conference.

In front of the media, Zhang Yang said what was in his heart, "We worked hard to compete for the Community Shield, just to see what the award shield looked like, I saw it, it was not a big deal, and now I kind of regret letting the team work hard to prepare for the game, which wasted a lot of our energy." ”

The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded.

Zhang Yang just said what was in his heart, and even England fans didn't think the Community Shield was meaningful.

This event is a charity tournament, the champion and runner-up do not have any prize money, all income from tickets, broadcasts, etc., will be donated to charity, in addition, the champion can only keep the prize shield for one year, not permanently awarded to the team.

Zhang Yang continued, "Maybe it also makes sense, in addition to the purpose of charity, it can also be used to make up the number of champions, for example, if we win the League Cup and the league championship, we can claim to be the 'Triple Crown', and no one can say anything, because we did win three championships." ”

The reporters listened with a grin.

In the free time that followed, reporters asked about Millwall's goals for the season.

Zhang Yang suddenly became very low-key, "We are the defending champions, but I think there is a lot of luck in winning the championship last season, as a new champion, we still have to participate in the Champions League, whether it is the league or the Champions League, we still set a lower goal to be more realistic." ”

"League ......"

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, "The top six are more practical, I see a lot of reports saying this, I think they are right, Millwall is just a small club with some results, even as the defending champions, the summer has added strength, we can achieve the goal of the top six, it is already quite good." ”

"Champions League ......"

"It's hard to say. I don't have any experience in the Champions League, neither do Millwall, so I think it's more about learning and gaining experience than setting a goal. ”

In the process of Zhang Yang constantly talking about the goal, all the reporters in the audience nodded their heads, and they felt that what Zhang Yang said was very correct.

But after Zhang Yang finished talking and got up to leave the press conference, some reporters felt that something was wrong - isn't this the same tone as at the beginning of last season?

Top six in the league?

Champions League to gain experience?

Isn't Zhang Yang really talking the opposite?
