Zhang Yang is too confident to lead the team to play Chelsea.

In the past countless games against Chelsea, there have been simple wins, difficult wins, and there have been draws, and he knows how to make the team deal with Chelsea.

It's actually quite simple to say, because Chelsea's style of play has not changed.

The opponent has not changed, and the team has been improving.

Chelsea is a team that is really difficult to play when it is strong, and their overall strength is also very strong, and every player can be said to be a big star.

So what?

Mourinho's team built with a tough back as the core, the biggest problem is that the technology is not flexible.

In many people's minds, Frank Lampard and Ballack are the world's top midfielders, but they are both physical players, not technical, Chelsea does not have a core technical midfield, once Abramovich mainly introduced Ronaldinho, but unfortunately the Brazilian finally rejected Chelsea's invitation and chose to join Barcelona.

Since then, Chelsea have been searching for a truly technical core midfielder, but nothing has come of it so far.

This is normal.

The world's top technical midfielders, as long as they can play, are the top superstars, such as Kaka, such as Messi, like a star of this level, it is no longer simply money can be bought, of course, any player has a price, Abramovich is willing to spend more than double the value of the player, and he can probably bring a technical core midfielder, but he only spends money on his fellow countryman Shepchenko, and Mourinho is not the kind of coach who likes technical midfielders, He was more focused on building a strong midfield line-up, with Chelsea's pursuit of technical midfielders on and off to no avail.

Without the support of a technical midfielder, Chelsea are also one of the best teams in the world, even against Barcelona.

But their opponent was Millwall.

Millwall has Morris, Sneijder, and Blaniff in the midfield, and now Braniff can be said to have reached the world's top limit, Sneijder is still growing, Morris is more mature, and any two of them together are enough to support the technical strength of the entire team.

On the wings, Simpson and Maxey are also technical players.

Millwall is better than Barcelona in that they have been in the Premier League for a long time, and they are not afraid to fight with Chelsea at all.

Even if there is a disadvantage in the confrontation, it can still be played, and coupled with the overall technicality, Chelsea does not have a big advantage compared to it.

Technology is Millwall's big advantage.

So to play against Chelsea, to play against them head-on, to play a certain amount of technical football, is enough to create a much bigger threat than the opposition.

Enough is enough.

The game was dominated by Chelsea, but they were playing with a lot of energy, not pure pressing, with Millwall defending passively, but every attack meant that Chelsea had to concentrate 100 per cent.

In the course of such a game, Chelsea will use more energy and energy, and will get fewer opportunities than Millwall.

The game is not just an analysis that can determine the outcome of the game, and it is always up to the players to play on the field, but don't forget to show that the ability to 'predict' allows him to avoid 'accidents' as much as possible in this kind of evenly matched game.

Nature.

Chelsea are going to beat Millwall too hard.

Chelsea don't know all this, they are still working hard, and after a long time, they also feel that their initiative is not active, and the other party's passivity is not passive, British BBC radio commentator Lineker said, "The offensive efficiency of the two teams is too poor, Millwall uses fewer attacks, plays a higher threat, and Chelsea, most of the time is doing useless work, they don't seem to have a good way to defend Millwall." ”

Lineker also spoke about the difference in attack between the two sides, with Chelsea having Didier Drogba in the centre and Malouda and Joe Cole on the two wingers in the 433 formation.

The efficiency of the forward line led by Drogba can only be regarded as average, and Chelsea's more eye-catching defense is the defense.

Millwall is different.

Jamie Vardy has scored more goals alone than Didier Drogba, Joe Cole and Malouda, and his partnership with Luca Toney is also Millwall's strongest combination.

Neither man has scored so far but has started to show efficiency, with either Luca Toney or Vardy threatening the Chelsea goal with the slightest touch of the ball.

"The difference between the two sides may determine the outcome of the game." Lineker said.

Normally, Lineker would not say with such certainty, because Millwall have a stronger forward line, which is equivalent to thinking that Millwall will win.

Can Millwall play against Chelsea? Sadly, even Chelsea fans don't think they have any chance of beating Millwall.

The same goes for the next races.

After Chelsea completed a wave of attacks, Millwall controlled the ball and continued to link, Braniff was tightly defended to send the ball to the wing, Simpson forced the defense back to Zambrotta, Zambrotta received the pass and did not hesitate to send the ball into the box.

"Hula-"

With exclamations from the stands, Vardy rushed up to head the ball!

"Vardy—"

“Goooooooooooooooooal！！！”

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Vardy! Vardy! He used a crisp header to help Millwall take the lead! Lineker shouted excitedly.

Jamie Vardy's header wasn't much.

Vardy is 1.8 meters tall, his jumping ability is not outstanding, and his body is not that strong type, but he is more technical, and he has no special advantage in grabbing headers, but this time he scored such a crucial goal with his head.

This is because of the running awareness.

Millwall's tactical foundation is to allow each player to play freely and play more to their strengths, and it is difficult for Chelsea to deal defensively with casual and non-conflicting movements.

Several players interspersed with running positions in a row, the overall look is dazzling, Chelsea's defence is difficult to block, they attach great importance to Vardy's defence, but the attacking side always takes the initiative, the attacking player runs first, and the defender can follow.

Lineker exclaimed: "It was a goal that showed the skilful combination of Millwall's players, Jamie Vardy was in the right position at the right time!" ”

'Now that Millwall are ahead, Chelsea are a bit passive. This is Stamford Bridge, and if you can't win Millwall in the first round, it will be even more difficult to win at Neil Stadium. ”

Lineker is not optimistic about Chelsea.

Since Millwall were promoted to the Premier League, they have not lost against Chelsea, and the two teams have taught more than four times in an average of a single season, and not losing a single game proves that Millwall are strong against Chelsea, and now that they are leading the game, can Chelsea still have a chance?

Lineker kept shaking his head at the thought of it.

————

Chelsea dugout.

Boss Grant is not looking good, he has been working hard to lead the team since he took charge of Chelsea, and he knows one thing: it will be difficult to continue as Chelsea manager because he is not famous enough and does not have a track record to back him up, whether it is the fans, the media or the chairman Roman Abramovich, they do not trust him.

But he also has a chance.

The best chance is to lead the team to beat Millwall, who Mourinho did not beat, and lost two league games, lost the Carabao Cup final, lost the Community Shield, these are all acceptable, and presumably even the fans will not blame him.

The premise is ...... Champions League win over Millwall!

As long as he can beat Millwall in the Champions League and lead Chelsea to the last four, he will be able to gain huge support, and even president Roman Abramovich will look up to him because he has done what Mourinho has not done, other Premier League teams have not done, and even European powerhouses have not done.

The clash with Millwall over these two legs is not only Chelsea's battle for a place in the last four, but also key to whether he retains his place as manager.

In order to cope with the play against Millwall, Grant watched the game video with the assistant coaches, constantly studied Millwall, they came up with a variety of plays, and finally chose the 433 traditional formation, but the change is to make the players play more open, play more aggressively.

Chelsea did gain an advantage in the situation with their fighting spirit, with their active scrambling and with their aggressive style of play, but how to make up for the attacking efficiency of both sides?

Grant couldn't think of it.

Now that Millwall are on the scoresheet, it's even more difficult to win this battle, or even win this game.

So what's next?

Abramovich was sitting in the VIP box while Grant was grim, he came alone and didn't inform anyone else, so he was sitting in the VIP box, not on the podium, and he did so because he didn't have confidence in Chelsea.

Every time Chelsea play Millwall, most of them end up losing.

Abramovich has sat on the rostrum twice, both with Millwall's vice chairman Wilkinson, he has no good impression of the Saudis, one is the other party's appearance, it is really difficult to make people have an appetite, and second, every time Chelsea loses, it is simply a shame.

Abramovich offered £5 million before the game but still had no confidence in Chelsea.

Grant?

How the Israelites were so flamboyant!

Abramovich also has a judgment in his heart, he is sure that Grant and Zhang Yang are two levels of managers, and he also thinks that the team's winning rate is not high, but he still expects a miracle to happen.

Seeing Millwall score, he exhaled a long breath and was glad that he didn't choose to sit on the podium, otherwise it would have been another depressing moment.

Of course, I'm also depressed now.

Roman Abramovich wanted to leave the game, he didn't want to see his Chelsea lose, but the importance of the game made him decide to keep watching, "If the opponent scores again, leave!" Back to Russia! Hell Grant! ”
