The first-half score thrilled Millwall supporters.

In a football game, the difference between one goal is not small, and the difference between two goals can be said to be quite large.

One more goal from Millwall would have determined the title in advance.

Chelsea supporters were frustrated as they came with the expectation of seeing their team win the title, only to be scored twice halfway through the game.

Will there still be chances in the second half?

The media, commentators, and football commentators also analyzed the first half of the game, and looked forward to the second half of the game, and they all believed that Millwall had a huge advantage and had great hopes of winning the final title.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, the atmosphere in the Millwall dressing room was not as relaxed as expected.

Zhang Yang's face was no longer smiling, there was only a serious demeanor, and he had woken up from the two-goal lead.

When Darren Bent scored the second goal, Zhang Yang, like everyone else, began to look forward to the championship, and a huge sense of joy ensued, but when the game restarted, he quickly calmed himself down.

The game isn't over yet!

In the history of the Champions League, there are many examples of reversals in the lead, and Zhang Yang does not want Millwall to be one of them, to be used as a textbook for future generations to comment on the game.

Zhang Yang must remind everyone to stay calm, sober, and try to persevere until the last minute, only when the game is really over will the team win.

As long as there is time, the lead is only temporary.

Zhang Yang doesn't need to give examples at all.

Two years ago, the 'Istanbul Night' was the best example, Liverpool's three-goal reversal of AC Milan became an eternal classic in the history of the Champions League, and in last year's Champions League final, Barcelona also led Arsenal and was eventually equalized by Arsenal, who also broke out on penalties and defeated Barcelona to win the final title.

The latter one has a lot to do with Zhang Yang, but others don't know it, and it can be used as an example.

In any case, the team has to face the game squarely, face the opponent squarely, and must not be negligent, and it is not absolutely impossible to be reversed by Chelsea when the time comes, in all the players. When he is happy, Zhang Yang must pour cold water on them to make them all sober up, "We did a good job!" Everyone is doing well! ”

"Darren! Two balls, well done, and the celebration action is also very handsome! ”

Zhang Yang said these words, and then without waiting for the others to respond, he said solemnly, "But I must tell you that as long as the game is not over, we have not won!" ”

"At this point, you can all guess what I want to say. That's right, I'm just going to pour cold water, because there are still 45 minutes left in the second half, anything can happen, we have to be serious and persistent! ”

"As long as there is one minute left, everyone has to keep giving 100 per cent! Stick to the end, fight to the end, and we will definitely win! ”

Zhang Yang said seriously, "Continue to stick to tactics in the second half, I believe you all know how to play - solid defense, fast attack!" The opponent is not in a hurry, we are not in a hurry, do a good job of defense, and attack a wave when we have the opportunity, but the focus is still on defense, we have to use the score advantage to let the game enter our rhythm! ”

Zhang Yang doesn't need to talk much about the style of play, every player knows what to do.

Millwall are familiar with Chelsea and have dealt with more than once or twice in the league, and each time they take the lead, they will be solid defensively and counter-attacking, but the old-fashioned style of play has worked very well.

The players then rested and recuperated to prepare for the second half.

The locker room has also become much quieter.

However, in a quiet atmosphere, there were still many players who discussed in a whisper, Zhang Yang was very serious, and his words were very eye-catching, but after all, it was two goals ahead, they were the side with the advantage, and the players still felt very relaxed.

————

Half-time passed quickly.

Every player felt that after just sitting for a while, the time was almost there, and they had to get back up, get up and walk out the locker room door and back on the pitch to get ready for the game.

The feelings of the fans are very different from those of the players.

In the eyes of the fans in the spectators, the half-time break was a long time, and everyone couldn't wait to watch the game, but they had to wait for the time to pass, and when they finally saw a player enter the stadium, the cries in the crowd immediately rang out, and as more players came out, the cries became louder and louder.

The Olympic Stadium in Athens is back in a lively atmosphere.

As both teams got back to their feet, the game was quickly back in action.

Neither Millwall nor Chelsea made any changes.

Millwall led by two goals in the first half, and every player performed very well, so naturally there was no need for substitutions; Chelsea has players who do not perform well, such as Bolaruz, as a central defender, there is nothing to do in defense, and I don't know what the specific use is, the embarrassing place is here, after Carvalho was injured, Bora Luz is the best candidate, other players have their own positions, and they can't let a midfielder play as a defender, and Bolaruz will only continue to stay on the field.

In fact, Chelsea's strongest squad is already on the pitch.

In addition to injuries and suspensions, Essien, Frank Lampard, Mikel, Drogba, John Terry and other big players have all been on the pitch, and there is no better way to make adjustments, they can only hope to perform better.

With two goals down and few options, Chelsea showed their determination to tie the game from the start, launching a ferocious attack that threatened Millwall's defence.

This is also Mourinho's style of coaching.

Many people's sense of Jose Mourinho's coaching can be described in one word – conservative.

Mourinho has always paid attention to defense, Chelsea has one of the most luxurious squads in the world, but the core of the defensive style of play, the 433 formation uses three pure iron card backs, which can be regarded as a Portuguese initiative, and its effect is quite good, and it also makes Mourinho's conservatism more impressive.

What few people know is that Mourinho is also a daring gambler who can make up his mind to gamble when his team is in a bad situation.

This is not the first time.

In the three seasons of the Premier League, Chelsea have fallen behind on a number of occasions, and Mourinho has always directed his team to launch a massive counter-attack, using the last few opportunities to desperately attack the opposition defence in the hope of equalising.

There have been quite a few times when Mourinho has succeeded.

Of course, there are times of failure, but in any case, Mourinho's coaching is definitely not entirely conservative.

Now facing the Champions League final, facing Millwall, with two goals down, Mourinho's 'gambler' spirit reappeared, and he allowed his team to launch a massive attack towards Millwall's half, and it was shown at the beginning of the second half.

This may be because of being two goals behind, or maybe because the opponent is Millwall, but in any case, in the face of such a strong attack, Millwall can almost only retreat on a large scale in order to be able to stabilize.

There are two of the most dangerous players in Chelsea's attack, one is Frank Lampard at the heart of the attack, and the other is striker Didier Drogba.

Chelsea's 433 formation does not have absolute core players, only the difference between the strength of individual players' attacking ability.

Of Chelsea's midfield system, Frank Lampard is undoubtedly the most attacking in attack.

Frank Lampard is not in the middle of the 433 formation, but he has a wide range of movement, covering both the flanks and the middle, and is involved in attacks more often, and his personal ability allows him to form a direct threat on the periphery.

Frank Lampard was also able to organise attacks.

In fact, players like Frank Lampard are not so good at organising attacks, much worse than Morris, but running and passing outside the box can also create a great threat to opponents, with Damion Duff, Scott Parker and other players leaving the team one after another, Robben is frequently injured and refrigerated, Lampard is becoming more and more important.

This may be one of the reasons why Lampard has exploded.

In Chelsea this season, most of the players who play the main team are players who are more physical, and players with excellent skills, such as Robben, are frequently injured and refrigerated, and there is no chance to play at all, and Shepchenko has played a lot, but he is also difficult to integrate into the team.

In this Chelsea team, Frank Lampard is already a skilled man.

Frank Lampard's individual quality, technical excellence, fitness to keep him running, plenty of touches from the perimeter and his ability to shoot from the perimeter make him Chelsea's most dangerous player.

Next up is Didier Drogba.

Drogba doesn't have many touches of the ball, but he's just too strong to make a powerful impact on Millwall's defence every time he receives a pass.

Didier Drogba's impact will make it difficult for him to find a chance, but it will make the Millwall defence shaky and give opportunities to his Chelsea team-mates.

This is also the role of the center.

When the time enters the 21st century, in the world's top games, the role of the center forward is constantly weakened, but the center is not without effect, the center can attract enough defensive attention, can help teammates share the pressure, can also form a threat alone, coupled with the ability to fight for set-pieces and headers, an excellent center forward, even if there is very little touch, the role is also very large.

Millwall is a typical example of a player who lacks a centre-forward.

Millwall's forward line, aka Darren Bent, is a bit of a center, but he's not tall and not too strong, and it's not up to standard to be a center.

The others are also technical players.

This also leads to the fact that when encountering corner kicks and set-pieces, Millwall can only rely on Livermore, Smitchell, and even defenders to go to the front to fight for high balls, and the absence of a center forward is also one of the shortcomings of the lineup.

Looking at Drogba, who performed well on the field, Zhang Yang also thought about the question of 'whether to bring in a center forward'.

If Millwall had a good centre-forward, they would have been more flexible in their tactics, and there would have been no problem of a single striker working better than a double striker, as is the case now.

If you have a good center, you can constantly experiment with the two-forward play, whether it is the traditional 442 or the 352 and 433 that have changed, you can try to play a dozen, and it may have unexpected results.

So, who is better suited?

Zhang Yang's mind is constantly living a future excellent center.

Looking at the game in front of him, he suddenly thought of a name - Nicola Anelka, in the memory of his previous life, Anelka would also play for Chelsea and would perform very well.

What if Anelka was dug into Millwall?

————

The game goes on.

Chelsea's attacking play was quite aggressive, and the most active performance was Frank Lampard, who was constantly running and linking up with his team-mates, and personally posed a threat to the Millwall defence.

In the 50th minute, Frank Lampard received a return pass from Joe Cole and fired a volley from the edge of the box that hit the crossbar and the ball bounced out of bounds, which was a shame but gave Chelsea fans great hope.

When Chelsea were doing well, the cheers in the crowd continued to grow.

The pro-Chelsea media also chanted, "This is the real Chelsea!" ”

'Chelsea have found their form again!'

'Millwall had a two-goal lead, but that didn't mean they would have won the game, and with just over half an hour left, it was enough for Chelsea to equalise ......'

"Even overtake!"

As if to corroborate the media's claims, Chelsea finally pulled a goal back after seventeen minutes of the second half.

The goal was scored by a football created by Joe Cole.

Joe Cole took a corner kick and the ball fell straight into the six-yard box, Drogba jumped up and swung his head to hit the goal, Graham blocked it with his body, but the ball crashed into Wes Morgan and bounced back into the net.

"The ball went in ——!"

It's an own goal.

Either way, a goal is a goal, and the Chelsea fans cheered wildly, and the commentators excitedly shouted, "The goal is in!" Chelsea pull a goal back! ”

"It seems to be an oolong ......"

"Let's look at slow motion...... It was Morgan, Millwall's centre-back, Wes Morgan, and the ball smashed on his calf and bounced into the goal! ”

"It's not a mistake, it should be a coincidence, Morgan has no reaction time at all, maybe the goal should have belonged to Drogba, but it belonged to Chelsea after all, 2-1, Chelsea recovered a goal! Didier Drogba was very good, his header was powerful, and Millwall goalkeeper Graham did well, he blocked the ball with his body, but Millwall was a bit unlucky......

With the goal on the horizon, Chelsea's supporting media were getting excited, and chasing back a goal was a sign of hope, and being just one goal behind would have increased the chances of Chelsea equalising the scores.

At this point, no one dares to speak of a Chelsea chance.

'With only one goal separating the two teams and plenty of time to play, it's too early for Millwall to declare victory!'

"I believe the final has just begun!"

"It's just now!"
