1042 Utilitarian football
Stamford Bridge is like an arsenal in a state of preparation, since the end of last season, Mourinho has been in charge, as if Stamford Bridge has been constantly building weapons and equipment, this summer, they continue to bring in reinforcements to strengthen the strength, constantly raising expectations for them.
When the day arrives on August 14th, the preparations for Stamford Bridge are over!
The curtain of war is opened!
Chelsea's first round of the Premier League was an interesting match.
They will host the Red Devils at home.
Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson got into a war of words, with Mourinho revealing his gaffe after Ferguson's defeat at Manchester United in the Champions League last season, while Ferguson slammed Mourinho for being too arrogant.
Chelsea made their debut at Stamford Bridge to face Manchester United for their first win of the season.
Mourinho's new tactical system has finally surfaced.
How to play in the warm-up matches, the outside world will not be used as a decisive basis, only in the Premier League, can determine what kind of team Mourinho wants to build.
The 433, which is now popular, was sacrificed in the hands of Mourinho.
Chelsea began to rise to prominence in Europe as the Iron Division!
Jose Mourinho established his main starting line-up.
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders: Pacos Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho, Ashley Cole.
Midfielders: Claude Makelele, Essien, Lampard.
Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Duff.
This is stronger than Chelsea in the history of the same period, as Essien and Ashley Cole arrived earlier, while in attack, Franck Ribery and Joe Cole were on the flanks. Even if Robben, the glass man, is out of action if he has a problem. There are not many players on the wing.
In terms of lineup thickness. Thanks to Abou's frenzied recruitment, Mourinho can rest easy.
It's just that this main lineup is still risky, Robben is one of them, and the African players are not in the squad when they play the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
Ferguson sat on the sidelines of the away team's dugout, motionless, focused on what was happening on the pitch, but his heart was already in a state of rage.
Speechless to ask the sky!
Damn, Chelsea play defense! Anti-reverse! Anti-reverse!
Malegobi. The team that has spent more than 300 million pounds in two years to build is still on its own home turf, and you fucking play defense!
It's not okay to pursue it a little???
The utilitarian Mourinho doesn't care much about the situation, only the result.
Chelsea fans are not afraid of Manchester United, because before Abu took over, Chelsea had a reputation as the "giant killer", and this giant refers to Manchester United.
At the end of the match, the score on the scoreboard reads 1:0.
Chelsea got off to a flying start with a narrow one-goal win over Manchester United.
The season has just begun. Naturally, the team is not running to its best, and that's normal. Chelsea also need to get used to it, and Jose Mourinho is happy with the result, but when it comes to taking the lead, it's extremely dull and he doesn't care.
I thought that the victory in this game would bring mental stimulation and inspiration to Chelsea.
But the other game that kicked off at the same time had just ended, also in London.
North London, White Hart Lane.
As the referee blew the full-time whistle, Aldridge walked over to shake hands with the Tottenham boss.
Tottenham's new boss is no stranger, with Aldridge having just played each other at the European Championships.
Former coach of the French national team, Santini.
Santini was a little dazed and slightly overwhelmed at this time.
The Tottenham home fans booed him, and his players walked off the pitch quickly, unwilling to spend an extra minute at their home stadium.
Millwall's players, on the other hand, are enjoying the win.
Aldridge and Santini failed to shake hands successfully, because he stood in front of Santini for 3 seconds, and the opponent looked like he was in a state of despair, so Aldridge had to give up, pat the opponent's elbow, and then stand on the sidelines and wait for the players to leave.
"Tottenham's new boss Alexis Santini's Premier League debut was nothing short of terrible! Sir Hall, who gave him a painful blow at the European Championship, sent a congratulatory gift to Santini at White Hart Lane! Five-to-egg! Tottenham were beaten at home by Millwall! In the game, Tottenham actually discharged a 9-0-1 formation, completely cowering in the penalty area, but still could not stop Millwall from scoring, this game Xiàn eye-catching Ronaldinho first made the opponent's defender red card, and then played a goal and assisted a hat trick of dazzling results, Villa, C Ronaldo, Kaka scored a goal each, their goals came from Ronaldinho's assist, and Villa and C Ronaldo also gave an assist to Ronaldinho, Millwall are dynamic in midfield and can threaten breakaways in almost every area of the midfield! After the first round of the new season, the defending champions sit at the top of the table. ”
Aldridge greeted the players on the sidelines, and they came off the pitch together after thanking the fans who had come to support the Lions away, their faces full of unfinished color and fighting spirit.
"Well done."
Aldridge high-fived Kaka in celebration, then Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa, Alonso, De Rossi
The last to leave the pitch was Ronaldo, who dropped his shirt in the stands at the other end of the pitch while posing for a photo with the nearest supporter on the sidelines.
The game was played with great interest, Xiao Luo was happy, and when he left the field, he put his arm around Aldridge's neck, and the master and apprentice walked into the players' tunnel together, talking and laughing along the way.
Speaking in the mixed zone, reporters informed Aldridge that Chelsea had won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea won 1-0.
Aldridge shook his head and said: "I don't want to hear any news about Chelsea, their appearance is not what we pay attention to, we only care about ourselves, it seems to me that the outside world does not understand what Millwall are in now, we are the defending champions, we are courageous, we are not afraid of a qiē, we are determined to conquer, what about Chelsea?" Do they have a Premier League title? No, do they have the Champions League? No. Don't think that Millwall is empty-eyed, there's only one thing we're doing right now, beating our opponents in the game! Instead of paying attention to what others are doing and marveling at what has changed in others, we are trying to make ourselves better. We don't expect others to be bad enough to make us profit. ”
this day. The Premier League curtain opens. The new generation of players, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, began to provoke the beams, and Millwall's attacking firepower in the front court began to be released in a new round.
Aldridge adjusted the team's offensive focus with Xiao Luo as the core of the front court, making Xiao Luo the first target of the opponent's marking, bringing the release of other points, Kaka's forward insertion after capturing space in the front court, and the ability to break through with the ball began to amaze the entire European football world, Ronaldo has not yet developed in the direction of the goal machine, but his skillful technical ability has made him start to rise to the throne of the number one killer on the wing. After the baptism of Alonso last season, in addition to the sublimation of organizational ability, the forward attacking ability is more efficient, in the middle, his pressure further liberates Kaka, so that the son of God began to show the power of the front 30 meters on the ground.
In the midfield revamp, Thiago Silva needs more protection. De Rossi has also focused on defending steadily, hoping to be boosted by Nesta. Silva can grow up as much as possible, Schneider and Lahm are the German full-backs to carry forward their delicate technical ability, Aldridge began to have a more daring idea in the use of fullbacks, let Lahm and Schneider judge the situation on the wing, send a through ball to threaten the ball, supplemented by the frontcourt running to tear up the opponent's defense, and the fullback directly sends a wonderful pass to assist the offensive characteristics, which will become one of the focuses of Millwall's overall attack in the future.
In August, the Premier League begins!
The battle horn sounded over Stamford Bridge.
The Lion King Stadium, where the defending champions defend the throne of Top Gun.
First round of the Premier League.
Millwall thrashed Tottenham 5-0 away.
Chelsea beat Manchester United 1-0 at home.
Second round.
Millwall slaughtered Manchester City 4-0 at home.
Chelsea beat Birmingham City 1-0 away.
Round 3.
Millwall 3-0 at home to Portsmouth.
Chelsea won 2-0 away at Crystal Palace.
Fourth round.
Millwall, who were only two days apart from the third round of the fourth round, were the first to start as they were heading into the UEFA Super Cup.
On the basis of the rotation of the whole team, Nedved and Larsson, two veterans in great form, helped Millwall beat Bolton Wanderers 5-1 away.
Chelsea, who then played at the same time as the big squad in regular time, won 2-1 at home to Southampton.
In August, the Premier League played four league rounds.
Enthusiasm and expectations for Chelsea are starting to wane.
Despite the same number of points as Millwall, their victory was rather economical and lacked passion.
Millwall scored 17 goals in four rounds and showed the ambition and strength of the king!
Especially after four rounds, after people have a general impression of Mourinho's Chelsea, many fans who expect Chelsea to create a miracle have begun to defect.
Chelsea, it's so utilitarian!
As long as the score is ahead, they will not increase the pace of the game and focus more on defense to wear down their opponents.
There were also voices of criticism and ridicule of Abu.
This is what you want to be beautiful football?
It's better to call it 3-point football!
As long as you get 3 points, it doesn't matter what else you do.
Mourinho dismisses this, he provokes everyone who can provoke to create a storm of public opinion, let himself stand on the cusp, shelter the boss, exchange peace for the team, all the pressure, he carries it on his shoulders alone.
In the Premier League, where the smoke of gunfire is beginning to fill, Mourinho can transfer more pressure to Millwall and Aldridge when he waits for an opportunity, for Millwall to make a mistake, and when Millwall can't bear the pressure to give up attacking football and use a utilitarian stance to grab three points.
But he may not know that what he is doing now, Aldridge has done, and for the control of the team during the game, Aldridge does not need to make a big show in front of the media, and his words to the team are enough to keep the players from being disturbed by the outside world.
The marathon of the league, perhaps in the past, was a contest of endurance, but now it is a contest of who falls first and can knock each other down when they meet. (To be continued......)
