In the shouts of the commentator, Pire excitedly celebrated with his teammates, even if he was a fierce player on the field, even if a goal was nothing, Pire was still very excited.

The French have reason to be excited.

Pire is over 34 years old this year, and most players will choose to retire at the age of 34 or 35, and those who do not retire will also reach the end of their careers, or play games in small clubs to retire, or continue to play for the giants, but they can only serve as substitutes.

Piret knew he was too.

In the summer, Millwall brought in Maxi Rodriguez, the Argentine as a pure left-sided midfielder, exactly overlapping with Pire's position, and it is self-explanatory to see what that means.

Pire could play as a substitute in the new season.

It can't be said so absolutely, but as long as Maxi doesn't perform badly, he will gradually take his main position.

The club knows that, and Piret himself knows it.

It's not a big goal at the moment, but Pire wants to tell the manager, the club and all the fans that even if he's over 34, he can still be consistent and can play a role in the team's success.

A goal is nothing, but the first goal of the new season is enough to say a lot.

Now it's not time for him to 'retire'!

When Pire celebrated excitedly, many people were surprised, especially the media who supported Chelsea, who believed that Chelsea had a good chance of winning this game, even if it was an interim manager, it didn't matter at all, because Chelsea knew how to play against Millwall, and the latter was the most important thing.

Now it was Millwall who scored first.

It's kind of tragic......

Some media reporters are starting to get pessimistic as Chelsea fans alike, the first half is not over and there is still a lot of time left in the game, but so what?

In the previous two seasons, Chelsea and Millwall played each other several times......

……

Many people don't want to reminisce anymore.

The TV commentator was constantly praising Pire, "Pire! He's over 34 years old, but he's still going strong, and he can put the ball in the back of the net at the slightest chance! ”

'It was the first game of the new season and Pire showed his form with his performances, he is still the best winger!'

Then the commentator remembered that there was another player to talk about, "Sneijder! ”

'Sneijder is a rising star in the Netherlands, but unlike other rising stars, he doesn't excel on occasion, and has been Ajax's best player for the past two seasons. Now he has chosen to come to Millwall and he proved himself in the first game, and he delivered a great pass! ”

'It was a fantastic pass, and when the ball was in position, all Pire had to do was put the ball in the back of the net!'

"This is Sneijder! Perhaps we have heard the name a few times this season because he is already part of Millwall's squad and Sneijder has been taken seriously by the manager in terms of his starts......

The TV screen gave Sneijder a close-up.

Sneijder was smiling all over his face, and his hearty expression seemed to explain to everyone that a brilliant assist was nothing, but the Dutchman was still very happy, and when he joined Millwall, he was still very nervous, you know, he turned down Real Madrid.

Real Madrid!

The vast majority of European teams want to join Real Madrid because it is a football mecca.

His choice was Millwall.

Millwall's results in recent years have been quite good, and what attracts Sneijder is that Millwall has a manager who can create miracles, and most of the teams in the team have performed well on the field, and Millwall can also give him stable playing opportunities.

Results, a good coach, and a consistent appearance made Sneijder choose Millwall.

But Sneijder is undoubtedly apprehensive, he doesn't know if he made the right choice, and in addition, the Premier League is very confrontational, and he doesn't know if he can adapt to it.

After just a few dozen minutes of play, Sneijder was somewhat sure that he had made the right choice.

He can adapt to tough confrontations.

He can also excel in the top encounters of English football.

Now he has only just joined the team, only trained with the team for more than a month, and he can already adapt very well, and after a while, he is familiar with his teammates, and the cooperation is more tacit, and he believes that his performance will definitely be better.

An assist is nothing, but the first assist of the new season is also a good start, which means that the season will have an excellent performance?

Sneijder thought.

In the crowd at the new Wembley Stadium, Millwall fans were cheering and celebrating their goal.

Millwall fans would love to see the team score a goal, which means they are one step closer to winning, compared to the previous titles won by Millwall, the Community Shield is nothing, but no matter how chicken the championship is, they are also champions, and they want to see the team beat Chelsea and win their first title of the new season.

That would be a good sign!

While celebrating the goal, some fans did not forget to show off to the Chelsea fans and make some provocative gestures.

The fans on both sides are very hostile.

Two seasons ago, the fans of both sides were in harmony, and when the two teams played, there was no conflict, but as Millwall's results improved, the two teams became direct rivals, and even though Millwall was in an absolute advantage in the competition, there was still a lot of hostility among the fans below.

Chelsea fans have been provoked to rage.

When they saw Millwall score, they were already very depressed, and then they were provoked by the opposing fans, and immediately responded angrily, if it were not for the security and police to maintain order, the stands would be chaotic, and a large-scale group fight would have broken out.

English people like to flaunt 'gentlemen', but this kind of 'gentleman' is absolutely not seen on the pitch, they will only be less graceful than the 'ungentleman' country.

At the same time, the media began to comment on the competition.

The media that support Millwall naturally praise Millwall, but there are more neutral and hostile media outlets, and they don't want to accept a strong Millwall.

Faced with this problem, the neutral media will also turn into hostile media.

Millwall have been strong for two seasons, winning the league title in two consecutive seasons, plus a couple of cup titles, which is equivalent to dominating English football for a period of time.

Continued dominance?

The media simply can't accept it.

In terms of 'English football development', the league must be highly competitive to be interesting, and the championship is a team every season, which will definitely reduce the attractiveness of the league.

It's not a question of support or not, even if Manchester United continues to dominate, they are constantly being hostile.

When Manchester United was dominant, the whole of England became the enemy of Manchester United, and most of the media liked Manchester United to lose, and the team that won Manchester United would immediately become a 'hero team', and the only opponent, Arsenal, was supported by the vast majority of the media.

From the perspective of football news appeal, it is also hoped that the league will increase its competitiveness, preferably like the glory days of Serie A, creating a scene of 'seven heroes competing for supremacy'.

The league title is best until the final round of the season, and there is still a huge suspense.

In addition, from the point of view of sympathy for the weak, Chelsea have lost too badly, and without Millwall, Chelsea would have won several more titles, even the Champions League.

Now it's Chelsea and Millwall battling it out for the Community Shield, with most of the media hoping that Chelsea will beat Millwall to win the Community Shield.

That's the 'good start' of the new season!

The media analysis of the goals also emphasised the individual performance of the players, rather than the overall quality of Millwall, "Sneijder has been very good and this wonderful pass proves that he is good. ”

"But Zhang Yang will also have troubles. With Braniff, Morris, and the excellent Sneijder, their duo seems to have three main players. We can see that Morris can only sit on the bench, is it intended to replace Morris with Sneijder? But Morris probably won't say yes......"

That's sowing discord.

In fact, the number of three players in two positions is not much, the main players are not going to play every game, in addition, the new 352 formation requires two midfielders, Morris will definitely be one of the main midfielders, Zhang Yang is troubled by too few midfielders, not too many.

Millwall's recruitment is not over yet, they must bring in a central midfielder, otherwise the team will face an embarrassing situation where there are no more players available in the middle of the midfield.

Millwall's celebrations were over and the game was soon back in action.

Chelsea were not willing to fall behind by a goal, and when they got back into the game, they fought very aggressively and moved a little widely, making it clear that they were going to have a real battle with Millwall.

Millwall players are not afraid to fight hard.

Millwall don't have much of a football style, and a few seasons ago, the only thing the outside world had of them was tough, and tough play, fierce style and football hooliganism were all there were a few years ago.

Now Millwall is among the top in the Premier League, but nearly half of the players in the team are still playing from the Championship with the team, and there are few weak players in the new team.

A Quaresma says a lot.

Quaresma is a player with good technique, and when he arrives at Millwall, he is not bad at the most suitable style of play, but when it comes to tough games, his performance is often affected.

Others could see it, and Quaresma himself could certainly feel it, and it was because of this that he decided that the Premier League environment was not for him and finally decided to leave Millwall.

In the summer, Millwall's reinforcements added Maxi Rodriguez, and Zhang Yang decided to let him join considering Maxey's high evaluation of 'physical fitness luck index', and the team really needs a pure left wing-back.

The departure of the 'almighty' Smitchell is still very annoying.

Any manager will love the jack-of-all-trades, the jack-of-all-trades tend to be less prominent in a single position, but at least they can make up for the lack of a squad, and each position can be topped by a few people, and the latter is the most important.

Millwall and Chelsea are going head-to-head.

At the end of the first half, all the players were already in shape, the two teams took the initiative to fight, and there was a subtle cooperation in the fierce game, and the game became extremely exciting, the fans were dazzled, and the cheers in the stands were non-stop.

Such a wonderful game makes fans feel that it is worth the ticket price!

The TV commentator who broadcast the game live also kept shouting excitedly to set off the atmosphere of the game, "Vardy! He was guarded against ......"

"Terry cleared! Chelsea! Let's see if Chelsea will have a chance, Frank Lampard is quick with the ball! ”

"Sneijder and Ballack fight in the middle! The Dutch still seems to be tough, he's not the weak sissy! ”

"Drogba! He was robbed ......"

"Millwall's counterattack! It's fast! Continuous passing! Give it to Braniff! Braniff go further! Pass! ”

"Livermore! Shot! ”

'Cech reacted quickly and he managed to save the ball and Millvo won a corner on the left......

“……”

In the end, Chelsea were unable to find the back of the net and Millwall were unable to extend their lead, as the first half passed in the blink of an eye.

With the referee's whistle, the game went to halftime.

In the closing stages of the first half, Millwall and Chelsea put on a great game together, and every fan enjoyed watching it, regretting the end of the first half and looking forward to the second half.

When the whistle blew, the players were not in the mood to consider whether the game was fierce or not, most of them sat down directly on the grass, the fierce game sacrificed the fatigue of the body, everyone's physical energy was not small, and even the goalkeepers of both teams continued to concentrate and felt that they needed to rest for a while.

Fortunately, at the end of the first half, they could rest.

————

Chelsea dressing room.

One Chelsea player returned, each looking a little tired, some resting with their eyes closed, others lying down for the team doctor to give a massage, others whispering about the game.

They are really talking about the game again.

In the eyes of ordinary fans, professional players will care about the game very much, and things related to the game will definitely be discussed in the middle of the game, but in fact, playing football is a job for professional players, and many players in the game, even if it is a backward situation, they will not discuss the game, because it is too boring, and there are very few players who consciously talk about the game and want to play, just like the end of the student's single subject exam, some people will go to talk about where to play during the holidays, and only some students who care about their grades will talk about the exam.

Now it's different.

As long as the Chelsea players are talking, they are talking about the game.

They talked about Millwall's style of play, about the goal they conceded, about how to deal with Millwall.

Every player is self-conscious.

They also want to talk about the game because every player wants to win the game and the Community Shield isn't what it is, it's ...... They really want to win Millwall!

Even if it's just once!

That's what the vast majority of Chelsea players want!
