Millwall's opponents in the replay are Birmingham, who have had a solid record over the past three seasons and are in the middle of the table.

Probably with a stable record base, Birmingham introduced a lot of players in the new season, and reformed the team, it is estimated that they want to make a breakthrough in the English and Chinese, in case they can reach the top, the Champions League qualification is definitely unthinkable, but if they can enter the League Cup, there must be more sources of benefits for the club.

However, Birmingham, who have been stable for the past three years, suddenly ushered in a decline in results in the new season, and they are struggling in the relegation zone as they are about to pass the halfway point of the league.

The stability of a team is vividly reflected in Birmingham, as the Buddhists say: people on the lotus platform, if they do not move, they are Buddha, and if they move, they will fall into the devil!

But anyone who wants to shake the stable system of the past has to bear great risks, and this is the case for the giants, and the small teams are no exception.

It is not necessary to bring in a lot of reinforcements to necessarily improve the strength of the team, even if the visual level of the players brought in is definitely better than the players who will be replaced.

This is the centripetal force of a team, and the importance of team stability.

To go deeper, vigorously developing the youth training system is also to ensure the stability of the team from the root.

In the face of such a Birmingham team, the morale is high and the united Millwall did not give them any chance at home!

The dominant table at full time allowed Birmingham to lose O:2 at the Lion King Stadium, and Millwall still relented a bit because of the upcoming Christmas Devils schedule.

At the end of the full-time match, the Lion King Stadium was bursting with enthusiasm and fans whistled wildly in the stands. Applaud. Cheer. Even the Christmas toy salute was sounded by many fans, and colorful little colored stripes fluttered in the wind, filling the Lion King Stadium!

"The final game of the round of 17 in England ended with Millwall beating visiting Birmingham City 2-O at home, and in the table, Chelsea, who had just returned to the table, slipped second place again in the table, and now compared to the previous round when they were on the same level as Millwall after a goal difference. Chelsea are two points behind Millwall! At the end of the fifth round of the English game, Chelsea led the defending champions by 9 points, and after 12 rounds, Millwall reversed Chelsea strongly, 12 rounds of games, 11 points more than Chelsea, almost an average of 1 point more than their opponents in each round! The suspense of Ying is definitely still there, and it can predict the future trend, and the shape in front of Chelsea is even worse, not only will it be psychologically devastating. At the same time, in January, they will face the difficulty of playing the Africa Cup of Nations. Millwall is in full swing, the unbeatable lion is waking up on the throne, and anyone who tries to provoke this lion must work harder! ”

It's Christmas.

This year, members of the Hall family who were on the go returned to East London for a big family reunion.

Aldridge and his eldest brother Barnett, and second brother Andrew watched a room of children at Arthur's house, and they couldn't help but sigh that time flies, and everyone got married in a flash, Arthur and Amelia were the happiest, and the children and grandchildren were full.

Millwall FC has carefully prepared Christmas gifts for the players, and this year, no players get a holiday, Christmas Eve and Christmas morning will be off, and on the 26th, they will not only play games, but also go away.

The morale of the team is high, no players are slacking off at this time, and even Cristiano Ronaldo, who will show fatigue in previous years and hint at the need to rest and relax, has become the team's training pacesetter, more diligent than others at this time.

Millwall are away to Wigan Athletic.

Wigan Athletic's style of play in England this season has been wide open, winning or losing, and on the road, Millwall has been holding steady, but Wigan Athletic seemed to be inattentive at home and were beaten 3-1 away by Millwall.

In the same round, Chelsea narrowly beat Fulham 3-2 at Stamford Bridge, and despite the victory, the gap to Millwall is still two points.

This is very bad for Chelsea, because in three days' time, Chelsea will be visiting the Lion King Stadium for the first direct meeting of the season between the favourites!

After Millwall's return to east London from the away side, the club held a Christmas dinner, which was kind of a non-holiday to give the players some entertainment and relaxation.

The players who brought their families to the Christmas dinner were in the spotlight of the media, with their attire, their female companions, and even their family members and children all attracting great interest.

On December 29, the English commute to work schedule finale, although this is not the final game of the year, because on the last day of the year, on the 31st, there is still a league game.

Millwall are at home for a visit from arch-rivals Chelsea.

As the Chelsea bus travels from west London to east London, the Chelsea bus is silent.

Jose Mourinho sat by the window and pondered, the silence inside Chelsea may seem like a good thing, but in fact it is moving towards death.

The so-called mourning is greater than the death of the heart.

Aren't they good enough?

No, after 18 rounds, 13 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss, 43 points, very good.

Millwall are only two points clear of them.

However, there is little point in simply looking at the points, and in the context of this process, Chelsea can be said to have been chased by 11 points in two months, which will inevitably affect their internal morale.

When Jose Mourinho's Chelsea was attacked by the British giants with an extreme anti-counter formation of 4321, the gap between Chelsea and Millwall was not only so weak in points, but became clear and the gap was huge.

Chelsea are not yet at home with a dense defence, and despite Mourinho's repeated attacks on his opponents, it will not help, and their opponents will stand up and taunt Mourinho: What about your team? Since the beginning of last season, we have been playing on the counter-attack, especially killing game time after taking the lead! With such a utilitarian style, what right do you have to accuse us?

There have inevitably been some discordant turmoil in the team, such as Ribery who complained to the media because he wanted to usurp power and stabilize his main position, and then was beaten into the cold by Mourinho, and now it seems that Ribery may be sent away in the winter transfer window.

As the bus pulled into the Lion King Stadium, Mourinho came back to his senses from his contemplation.

His expression changed, and he got off the car in high spirits, he knew in his heart that the belonging of this season's British champion was today!

At least that's what he thinks.

If Chelsea can beat Millwall away today, the positive momentum will keep Chelsea firm until the end of the season, after all, the second half of the season is at Stamford Bridge.

But if Chelsea can't win, Mourinho doesn't quite believe that Millwall will make mistakes in the second half of the season, after all, Millwall has worked hard to catch up with Chelsea from 9 points behind to 2 points ahead today.

When Mourinho walked into the stadium, he saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines and looking at the stadium calmly, and he didn't know what he was looking at, Mourinho withdrew his gaze and walked to the away team's coach's box.

Millwall and Chelsea's players lined up in the tunnel, they didn't interact with each other, and it looked like they were doomed to die if they met on the pitch.

Since the sixth round of the league, Millwall has played 13 consecutive wins in the league, which can be described as a rainbow of momentum, unstoppable, it is difficult to say how much mental stimulation the winning streak at this time will form a huge mental stimulation for this king division, it may be taken for granted in their eyes, and the momentum of self-confidence is different and extraordinarily majestic.

Under the leadership of the referee team, the players of both teams entered the field!

"The 19th round of the English table battle is about to begin, the defending champion Millwall sits at home against the city rival Chelsea, this game as the first half of the league finale, is very crucial, although England has never cared about the halfway championship, but Millwall and Chelsea are two teams that are extremely eye-catching, they want to compete for the title, every point is extraordinarily precious, Millwall with 14 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss accumulated 45 points, Chelsea has one less win than Millwall, one more average, 43 points, this is only 18 rounds of league countIf there is a similar table in the second half, we are almost certain that both teams have a chance to break the 9o point mark in the league, which shows that the competition in England is very different from what it used to be, as Ferguson said many years ago: in the past, the team with more than 8o points had a high probability of winning the league title, but now, 9o points may only be the runner-up. That's right, there was a season when Manchester United got 9o points, but in the end they lost to Millwall! ”

"That's the key to this game, one point is especially precious for both teams, let alone today's six-point battle! Let's take a look at the list of both sides.

Millwall, 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Lahm.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.

Chelsea 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Claude Makelele, Essien, Lampard.

Forwards: Arjen Robben, Drogba, Joe Cole. ”

Today, Chelsea owner Abou also came to the VIP box at the Lion King Stadium to watch the game.

What displeased him was that both Shevchenko and Ballack could only sit on the bench.

Mourinho's internal explanation is that we will be temporarily without Didier Drogba and Essien in January, and then Shevchenko and Ballack will play an important role.

Abu, on the other hand, is increasingly bleak about the prospect of winning the league.

January?

It could be January.

Jose Mourinho, no matter what you do, the league title is not going to come to Stamford Bridge! (To be continued!)
