348 Persistent beliefs

"Chelsea's offensive routines are clear at a glance, the side can burst out, and if you can't break through, you can find the high man Flo on the front line, once Flo can control the ball, he will cover Zola, in a small area, Zola definitely has the ability to change the game, but today Millwall's defense is also very targeted, Materazzi is against Flo, scramble for the high-altitude ball, because Materazzi is a frontal defense, so the success rate is higher, but if Flo is a retreat to receive the ball, Chelsea's offensive fulcrum role will be played, Makelele retreated to mark Zola, while distracting to intercept the opponent's midfielder's through ball to the striker, Lampard and the retreating Nedved to mark Di Matteo and Poyet, Millwall after 25 minutes of the game, the defense created a sense of solidity of fortress, even if the middle defense was defeated by the opponent one-on-one, there was Southgate to escort the goal on the backline of defense in front of the goal, plus Bout's defensive area was already large, although Chelsea had the advantage on the field, But they failed to turn their advantage into victory. ”

Chelsea try to keep the ball and try not to lose the ball as much as possible, so they seem to be dominant, especially in attack, and do not dare to invest too much for fear of being beaten on the counter-attack and then taken away by the majority of the opposing players.

However, playing more with less in attack requires a strong individual ability, but Millwall's individual defensive ability is not inferior, so Chelsea have not been able to create much of a threat in the final attack.

When Millwall stabilized their defence, the frontcourt players shrank deeper, intensified their scrambles, and suddenly exerted their strength in the thirtieth minute of the game. It was a pre-match deployment period that Aldridge had requested.

On the road to building the second generation of the Wild Lion. You can't get them into a consistently high-paced game at the beginning. It is necessary to exert force in stages, and hit the opponent in waves with a time line!

Zambrotta retreated into the box to cut off Di Matteo's delicate through ball to Zola, and after the break, he half-turned and played a through ball to the left wing.

When Xiao Luo took the ball, the fans of the Wild Lions in the stands immediately cheered.

Now Ronaldo is like Ronaldo when his fame was at a moment's notice, every time he gets the ball, people look forward to it, and fans want to see his magical performances.

Little Ronaldo takes the ball. Turning around, he strode forward.

His eyes are extremely resolute, and now he is very different from Xiao Luo in the original history, at least, his motivation and pursuit to play football are stronger.

He knew that there was someone on the sidelines who must be staring at him without blinking, his strict mentor and friend: Aldrich.

His relationship with Aldridge is the most bizarre in Millwall, meticulous in training, Aldrich is like a devil coach in front of Ronaldo. The demands on him were as cruel as hell, and he was lazy in training. Aldrich would immediately talk to him, and if he committed another offense, Aldrich would not hesitate to punish him, even in a rage.

But in life, Ronald can make a mess of Aldrich's apartment, but Aldrich has never been angry.

In addition to training and competitions, if Xiao Luo is bored, he asks Aldrich to go to the movies, go to play video games, etc., Aldrich has never refused, and often the paparazzi follow them to play crazy next to the video game center

Xiao Luo knows deep down: he shouldn't just be the next generation of the king of the wild lions that is expected, he has to do it! It has to be done! He is going to become a new generation of lion kings, to show that person, to show him!!

Ronaldo, who was advancing with the ball from the left side of the back, was five meters in front of Petrescu ready to intercept him, and Ronaldo turned his head to look at the middle.

Switching from defence to attack, Frank Lampard cut forward as soon as possible and consciously moved close to Ronaldo's side to become a quick-forward receiving spot.

Ronaldo kept looking at Frank Lampard during the two steps of the ball, Petroscu decided that the opponent would pass the ball to Lampard when Ronaldo's rhythm stopped, so the center of gravity also tilted, and when his defensive movements changed, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated to overtake from the outside after a pause in the rhythm!

Petroscu was furious and fooled!

When Xiao Luo wiped him, he chose to fall to the ground and put the tackle, Xiao Luo was faster, he hooked his foot, and regained his balance after three stumbles, and the referee hesitated for a moment to signal the game to continue.

Ronaldo continued to dribble forward, and when facing Frerell, he continued to turn his head to look into the middle, and with the experience of Petroscu's deception, Frell lowered his center of gravity and did not give the opponent any chance to trick him into moving his center of gravity.

But this time, Xiao Luo Zhen passed.

And it's an over-the-top long pass!

Glen Charles originally intended to cut inside, but Ronaldo's ball was a little too big, and he immediately got the ball under the edge instead.

After Ronaldo passed the ball, he cut forward into the penalty area, Glen Charles took the ball and crossed, Leboeuf saw the ball route to break the ball, but Nedved took a step faster to touch the ball from behind, and broke through the opponent's entire defense when he rushed forward, but the angle of the shot in the box was very small.

Desailly stared at Ruud van Nistelrooy closely, and Vanney was conscious and retreated to pull out the space to catch the ball and shoot, and Desailly followed him.

Nedved still passed the ball out of Leboeuf before he could block it, and the trajectory of the ball was still in front of the Chelsea goal, close to the line of the small penalty area, Desailly could have broken the ball, but he was attracted forward by Ruud van Nistelrooy, and he couldn't reach the ball.

The ball rolled across the area in front of the centre of the goal, and the eyes of the crowd shifted as the ball rolled, and when they saw the situation at the back point, they immediately held their breath.

Ronaldo and Freer went hand in hand to chase the back point, but Ronaldo was strong and took the lead.

After the ball rolled over, Freire hit Ronaldo with his body, and Ronaldo fell to the ground and shot with a shovel, almost with the soles of his feet!

De Huye came too late from the other side of the goal and the ball was slammed into the goal by Ronaldo!

'Ronaldinho opened the scoring for Millwall! Chelsea were unable to find the back of the net after a quick counter-attack from Millwall, initiated by Brazilian Ronaldinho, who eventually tackled the ball into the net from the left side of the six-yard box, assisted by Czech Nedved, who has either left or been absent in the last two seasons when the golden trident in front of Millwall has been absent or sidelined. There are still powerful killers in the ranks. Hall's pre-match contempt for Chelsea does not seem to be arrogant! ”

After scoring a goal, Ronaldo ran to the sideline and danced samba on the sideline. The most rearly swung his right hand in front of him from the bottom to the sky.

In addition to the Chelsea fans, the rest of the crowd cheered on his goal, including the Monaco royal family in the box.

Ronaldo's individual skills are very pleasing to the eye, just now he broke through Petroscu, found his teammates with a long pass, and then outflanked the goalkeeper, a series of events that happened in less than 15 seconds, but it reflected the versatility of his attack. The individual play has a strong samba flavor.

Aldrich stood up on the sidelines to applaud Xiao Luo's goal, and when he saw the opponent's iconic dancing and celebration, he secretly said in his heart: Let the world know your name!

Around him, the coach and substitutes were jubilant, and Boas was even more dumbfounded, and when the celebration was over, he immediately asked Aldridge: "Why is his last performance so different from now?" ”

Aldrich shook his head and said, "It's not that he performs badly, it's that the environment is different." Coventry compressed the backcourt and there was no space for him to break back and forth like this, and the space between team-mates was also very small. In the absence of a very high tacit understanding and pass-control running as the foundation, the team's ability to strike a fatal blow forward has not yet reached the point of qualitative change. You can refer to Chelsea today. If they meet a team with a wide range of tactical play, you will feel that their attacking threat is very big, Di Matteo organised, Poyet inserted the goal, Folo on the front line as the fulcrum, Zola is super capable of individual soldiers, Chelsea can play the ground pass, and can also open the bow on both wings to feed Flo cannonballs, which all have a premise, that is, there is room for them to play. ”

Villas-Boas was thoughtful when he heard this, and before today's game, he had studied some videos of Chelsea's past games and thought that Chelsea's attack was very threatening, but today's defensive counterattack against Millwall felt that the opponent's attack was different from his previous impression.

In the past few seasons, Chelsea has repeatedly knocked down the giants and been praised as the giant killer, which is related to the fact that the giants have been too involved in attacking and destroyed by them.

Vialli stood on the sidelines looking helpless.

Chelsea's fighting spirit was high today, and Aldridge's pre-game contempt infuriated them, and there is no doubt that it was Aldridge's psychological warfare, which was to put Chelsea's brains on the attack.

Vialli also specifically reminded the players not to be fooled in the dressing room.

Chelsea today can be regarded as a balanced attack and defense, the attack did not invest too many troops, the fullbacks did not dare to plug in, for fear of being beaten by the opponent's two speed full-backs, but when being counterattacked, the personal ability of the opposing players played a huge role, Xiao Luo and Glen Charles under the premise of forward space, Chelsea's side defense is shaky, the side is unstable, the gap in the middle is large, plus the opponent plays fast, and is inserted after the opponent's hidden attack point, the Chelsea defense line has changed two people in the new season, Freel and Desailly, Player chemistry is also an issue.

Their 2-1 defeat to Coventry City in their league opener has already exposed defensive problems, but it will take time, not manual adjustments to make an immediate difference.

Vialli's biggest headache is that most of these players have a lot of heads, and how can they be happy when you ask them to fight back against Millwall, who are much younger than him?

Millwall scored, and the next step was better.

Aldridge waved his hand to the back from the sidelines, and the players understood what he meant, so they continued to play and not get carried away.

Today's Super Cup, there is a Chelsea opponent who has become a fighting force to hone the team, Aldridge is happy in his heart, although this kind of defensive counterattack tactics in the league to break the dense defense is difficult, but he is thinking more about preparing for the European competition, unlike many opponents in the league who are satisfied with a draw to get a point, the Champions League, their opponents just give up the opportunity to qualify? Even a third-rate league champion like Graz can't afford to play for a draw at home stadium.

Chelsea failed to equalise in the first half, and in the second half, the two sides changed sides again, Millwall played a defensive counterattack, and when Ronaldo was heavily marked on the left, Aldridge asked him to switch places with Glenschal, and after the change of sides, Chelsea strengthened their marking on the right, but Glenschhard was powerful on the left.

Almost the same routine, Glen Charles burst out of Petrescu on the left, unlike Ronaldo who passed the ball after facing Freil, Glen Charles went down the outside line and crossed, Vanney grabbed the front point and was blocked by De Hooye, but he didn't hold the ball, and the blocked ball was shot into the net by Nedved.

Millwall defeated Chelsea 2-0 at the Louis II Stadium to successfully defend the UEFA Super Cup! (To be continued......)
