PS: This month's New Year, all things are riddled with things, because there is no manuscript, so it is changed to two changes a day, I hope you will forgive me-

In the stands at Stamford Bridge, Abu sat in his seat in a daze, settling in a pose similar to Aldridge's before the goal, with his hands on his cheeks and a slightly dazed and helpless expression.

He attaches more importance to the Champions League than the league, the influence of the Champions League is too great, and the excitement of the Champions League is relatively higher.

Now at home, Chelsea are behind the score, and he naturally understands the rules of the Champions League, and Chelsea's shape is in jeopardy.

Abu thought he was very patient, digging Millwall's people, and recruiting the next generation of young talents in advance, this is a long-term construction layout, otherwise, it is the general policy of the upstart team to invest heavily in the star team, Abu Chando, so he added the youth training.

However, looking at Millwall's table this season, as well as the average age of Millwall's overall squad, Abu thinks that his past thoughts are a little naïve or optimistic.

How could Millwall fall lightly?

Don't look at Chelsea's league chase for Millwall.

But has Jose Mourinho focused on developing Chelsea's young players during the season?

What about Millwall?

They were pulled closer to the points by Chelsea, and in a sense, it was also influenced by the cost of Aldridge's performance in training his newcomers.

Jose Moutinho, Joshua Veloso, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and Millwall are not as crazy as they used to be in giving young players room to develop, but they are still carrying forward the traditions they have always adhered to.

In this comparison, Chelsea are stuck in a dead knot of ego.

The first team cannot train. What's the use of buying young players?

Glenn Johnson, who bought last year, has all but disappeared this season. And so on. What is Chelsea's appeal to young players, especially top talent?

The more he pondered the problems of running the club, the more he had a headache for Abu, not just the annoyance of a dangerous game in the stadium.

Inside the stadium.

Mourinho was in turmoil, and perhaps the media bombardment was unaware of any outstanding problems.

Because as Fleet Street looks ahead to the Champions League rival derby, the mainstream media is not exaggerating.

Millwall's home stadium, the Lion King Stadium. This is indeed the home of the devil with a view to all of Europe!

Most of the giants in Europe have played at the Lion King Stadium, but they have not taken advantage there.

When Fleet Street "advised" Chelsea, the tone was not one-sided "pessimistic", but "tragic"!

Chelsea need a relatively good result at home before they can hope to win the second leg at the Lion King Stadium!

Having learned the lesson of the heavy defeat in the first leg of the league match, Mourinho did not dare to fight Millwall in the whole game, but suddenly exerted force at the right time, which was his main idea for this game.

Millwall, however, seems to have foreseen it. They are waiting for Chelsea to be unable to hold it and the defense line to loosen and attack!

A ball!

It was only Millwall who scored a goal at Stamford Bridge. But the managers of both sides understood in their hearts: Chelsea's Champions League journey has reached a critical juncture of life and death!

There were no more waves in the first half, and Chelsea did not dare to attack after conceding a goal, so they had to be steady first, and the sudden loss of the goal hit them too hard.

As the players from both sides walked off the pitch to the tunnel, the Millwall fans in the stands chanted: "Chelsea, Chelsea, you can attack if you have a kind!" If you have a kind, you will attack it! ”

Jose Mourinho's first season in charge of Chelsea is coming to an end, and there is no doubt that Premier League fans, as well as fans in Europe and around the world, have a mature impression of Chelsea.

Tough, solid defensively, focused on counter-attacking.

These three characteristics are the most obvious.

Fans who don't like Chelsea will naturally ridicule them for only playing sneak attacks, and in the coaching circle, there are no shortage of managers who play against Chelsea, and there is no shortage of those who are very disgusted with Chelsea, criticizing Mourinho's team for being too utilitarian, such as the opponent in the round of 16, Barcelona!

Black Swan Rijkaard had a sharp clash with Mourinho.

It is not for nothing that Barcelona fans hate Chelsea, as they believe Chelsea are too good to win, and Chelsea insinuated during the game against Barcelona that the referee was bought by Barcelona after Mourinho claimed that he had bumped into Rijkaard and walked into the referee's lounge at half-time, which was a violation of the rules.

Aldridge, on the other hand, has rarely expressed his likes and dislikes for other coaches in front of the media.

There are some words, needless to say.

He didn't shake hands with Mourinho, and he already made a statement.

Before this game, Aldridge's relaxed attitude in the media was also interpreted by the outside world as a disguised mockery of Mourinho.

"Someone has said that the way to lead a team to knock out Manchester United is to say to the players in the dressing room: Ruud van Nistelrooy earns more than all of you combined! I'm curious if the Chelsea boss can say this to his Chelsea players again now to boost the morale of his Chelsea players. ”

In terms of stimulating the morale of the army, Mourinho will certainly not be able to motivate the team in the exciting way of playing with mud legs like he did in the past when he coached Porto, and now he can't talk about money, only about honor.

However, when it comes to honor, how can Millwall's fighting spirit be weaker than theirs?

Chelsea are on our way to winning the first Premier League, our first Champions League.

What about Millwall?

It is the first in the history of the number of Champions League titles!

They are just one Champions League away from equalling Real Madrid and AC Milan for the most titles!

At half-time, Jose Mourinho changed his team's technical and tactical approach.

In the first half, he may have just fought for a small period of time, and as a result, he lost!

In the second half, maybe the entire second half, Chelsea will have to gamble!

What if they score a goal to equalise?

1:1

Millwall have an away goal advantage, but Chelsea are still behind.

So, the goal in the second half is to score at least two goals!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Aldridge was back in the dugout, his eyes quietly reading the game.

Chelsea's style of play changed in the second half.

On the premise of the back line, the midfield is crazy to press, and the forward line also retreats to compress the midfield space.

If an ordinary team encounters Chelsea's style of play, it is actually untenable.

Because Chelsea's midfielders are too strong in sweeping ability, the general team needs to organize attacks in the midfield, and the tandem is excessive, just in this area, the number of people is dense, and the probability of being intercepted by Chelsea and then playing fast attack will be very high.

However, Millwall are not afraid, they have long been familiar with dropping back in attack, and the playmaking area is not just a drag in the midfield, but the entire backline can organise attacks.

A good understanding makes them not pass the ball on the back line and give the impression that they are playing with fire, and suddenly playing like this, the players themselves will inevitably not be used to it, but if they get used to this style of play for 1, 2 years, or even longer, they will be very relaxed.

Even if Chelsea get the ball to organise the attack, Millwall's defence is very targeted, dropping the defensive line back, not defending, not stealing foreign trade in dangerous areas, and the defensive formation in the danger zone in front of goal is very tight, always maintaining the protection of a back four and two midfielders.

"Chelsea's shortcomings are very evident in this game, they are not good at positional battles, even if Millwall only put on a full defensive line and two midfielders, Chelsea lack of change when they come to the front in attack, they don't have Ronaldinho, they can't pass very hidden passes, their wide breaks are also lacking in power, because there is not enough space, now, they can only rely on long-range shots to finish the attack, otherwise, they may lose the ball in the hesitation and then be played by Millwall fast."

Millwall will press like crazy and so will Chelsea.

But there is a gap in the fact that Millwall grabs the opponent, and most of the opponents are surprised, or the difference in strength is too big and collapses under pressure, but there are also those that Millwall can never grab, for example, when he played Real Madrid, Aldridge would not let Millwall go crazy to force Real Madrid, and the focus when switching from offense to defense is to quickly retreat, and return to the defensive area first, because Real Madrid has the kind of top players with accurate long passes in the middle and long distances, as well as top strikers with excellent running ability.

Chelsea frantically pressed Millwall, there are two weaknesses, first, the ball is at the feet of Millwall for a long time, they can't grab it, and the physical energy is consumed quickly, especially the explosion of sprinting to force a small period of time, it is inevitable to take a breath, and if you want to break out, the body will definitely not be able to keep up. Secondly, Millwall also has top players who are accurate in the middle and long distances!

In the 69th minute of the game, Chelsea missed a long-range shot, the ball was confiscated by Bute, and then, Chelsea's attacking players did not retreat and continued to press frantically in front.

Millwall passed back and forth on the back line three times, and finally it was Lahm who sent the ball straight up front, Makelele and Essien both pressed frantically in midfield, turned around, Henry ran out of the space to receive the high ball, turned his back to the Chelsea penalty area to face the incoming ball with his chest to unload the ball perfectly, and then without waiting for Carvalho behind him to steal, Makelele came to steal, and he knocked the ball back to Ronaldo, who was inserted behind.

This time the pass to Ronaldo, Makelele had a pre-judgment, so he turned directly to block Ronaldo with Essien.

Ronaldo dribbled sideways with the ball, but took the initiative to slow down, and when Essien and Makelle pressed up, Ronaldo made a move that surprised the two.

He turned to protect the ball!

With your back to the Chelsea goal!

Is this a defection to his own goal?

Of course not.

When Essien and Makelle were in doubt, Ronaldo pulled the ball behind him and deftly knocked the ball sideways, and Makelele and Essien, who pounced on Rowe, looked in surprise in the direction in which the ball was rolling.

It's their flank and rear, the middle of the lane.

A galloping figure swept by.

Son of God, Kaka! (To be continued......)
