Summer is just around the corner, and the Premier League is heating up.

Chelsea were held to a 3-1 draw at Birmingham City in the league after a 3-1 defeat at Millwall at Stamford Bridge!

Just when everyone thought that the suspense of the Premier League might not last until the Stamford Bridge Premier League showdown day at the end of the month, Millwall broke out in the same round of the league!

Manchester City, who have been exceptionally good in the league this season, have become the killers of the giants!

Against Chelsea it was one win and one draw.

Against Millwall, one win and one loss is considered a draw in two meetings!

Manchester City's situation is paradoxical!

Jose Mourinho lost to Kevin Keegan.

But Aldridge lost to his former England national team colleague, Pierce, who coached England Under-21s!

Manchester City just experienced a change of manager last month, Keegan and Manchester City's top management fell out, and it is also related to the conflict between him and the team's dressing room at the beginning of last season, but in terms of stadium results, Manchester City is still in the middle of the Premier League in March under Keegan's leadership, which is much better than last season's relegation.

Pierce had been in charge for less than a month before leading the team at home to a knockout of Millwall, who had fielded a large number of substitutes.

Aldridge can't help it, in addition to the intensive Premier League schedule this month, the two legs of the Champions League are separated by a week, and at the same time play the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, and lead the team to play the FA Cup semifinals, the opponent is Manchester United, at the end of the month, before playing Chelsea away, they will also play the first leg of the Champions League semifinals!

Manchester City away, Chelsea away, there will be three league games in between.

Those three league games. The biggest obstacle to the final sprint of Millwall!

Devil's Schedule.

Home to Liverpool. Away to Arsenal. Play Manchester United at home!

Fleet Street is speculating that Millwall could drop points in the Devil's schedule, which is the three Premier League games.

Surprisingly, Millwall planted here at Manchester City first!

This should have been a 3 point, but it became 0 points.

The gap between Millwall and Chelsea in the standings has changed from four points to three

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was rekindled a week after the previous match.

With Chelsea recuperating at the cost of a draw with Birmingham City in the league and Millwall preparing for the rest of the fixtures at the cost of defeat, Aldridge is not just concerned about this second-leg fixture. And the semi-finals!

The whole Chelsea team arrived at the Lion King Stadium in a tragic atmosphere, the home of Europe's premier devils!

Aldrich also began to chew gum to relieve the pressure.

With a dense schedule, and a devil's schedule, he also needs to decompress himself.

The Lion King Stadium is noisy and shaking, and the Lions fans are naturally optimistic, and they won't think about it so much. Millwall will definitely be able to overcome their opponents, and there will be a real surprise. That's the accident.

Millwall fans don't welcome Chelsea players and they don't welcome Jose Mourinho.

Aldridge sat in the dugout, Mourinho stood on the sidelines to supervise the game, looking at Millwall's starting lineup, he couldn't help frowning, consciously isolating the shouting and boos from the stands behind him.

"The second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals is about to begin, Millwall leads Chelsea 3:1 on aggregate, the defending champion Millwall is sitting at home in this game, and it should be nine out of ten to enter the semi-finals, but looking at Chelsea's posture today, they will definitely create trouble and pressure for Millwall here!"

Millwall's starting line-up today has changed a bit from the first leg.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Neal, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Baines.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Nedved.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Villa.

Kaka is sidelined with injury, Alonso is not well, Schneider and Lahm continue to rest, and Ronaldo is hidden.

Where did Mourinho wonder when he stared at Millwall's starting line-up?

Who will organise the attack in Millwall?

Nedved?

It can be, but there is a lack of more variety.

After the start of the game, Millwall's posture made Mourinho's expression change suddenly.

Unbelievable and angry at the same time!

Millwall,--fight!

Moreover, the tactics used are almost the same as those used by Chelsea!

The back four focus on defense, the full-backs also cut the range of assists, the double back protects the defensive line, Nedved can go up and down, up, it must be a counterattack to go up and down, and the positional battle defense retreats back and sweeps in front of the penalty area.

Modern wingers, Millwall naturally have it, and they have more variations.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa, Henry, can complete the change of position as they want in the front court!

There have been no ups and downs on the pitch yet, but Mourinho is already in the mood for tears.

He couldn't help but look towards the home team's coach's box, and saw Aldridge sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, Mourinho didn't know what he was talking about, and his expression should be very unhappy.

Chelsea want to advance, 1:0, not enough, 2:0, not enough, at least 3:0!

Also avoid being scored by Millwall!

In such a situation, Millwall played Chelsea's counter-attack!

The Chelsea players on the pitch don't have so many ideas, and if they want to advance, they have to score!

However, positional warfare, to break Millwall's dense defense, they lack a way, relatively speaking, in the face of Millwall's defensive quality, their positional warfare offensive ability is obviously weak, there are not many means, the offense lacks novel or unexpected routines, when there is no offensive space, the closer to Millwall's danger zone, the more they don't know how to continue the attack.

In the 23rd minute, Drogba lost to Nesta in a header for the header, and the ball was controlled by Nedved, and he made a one-two with De Rossi, turning and running forward, and he did not stick to the ball until it was intercepted by Essien. Directly the ball is passed diagonally to the left front.

Thierry Henry starts on the left flank. After soaring up the speed, he broke through Ferreira with a slow and fast rhythm in the rhythm of possession. Then pass diagonally to Chelsea in the top left corner of the penalty area!

Villa outflanked the middle and missed the front point, but shook Carvalho and Terry, as well as goalkeeper Cech, and Ronaldo, who followed up at the back point, easily pushed the ball into the goal!

Cristiano Ronaldo yelled and ran around the pitch in celebration.

'Chelsea tried to press Millwall on the pitch but their backline was exposed as they failed to hold the last line in the face of Millwall's blistering counter-attack. It was clear when Thierry Henry broke through Ferreira with the ball, and his assist was not surprising as Cristiano Ronaldo flanked the penalty area and sent the ball into the empty net to give Millwall a 4-1 aggregate lead over Chelsea! ”

Jose Mourinho wiped his face from the sidelines.

That's what worries him.

However, there is no way!

For Chelsea to score, they have to attack.

Millwall don't give them a chance to counter-attack, they have to fight positional warfare.

But if the positional war can't be fought, won't Millwall fight back?

Henry. Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa. Who's slow?

Millwall didn't pay much attention to the technical and tactical arrangement on the field today, but the routine was clear at a glance.

When controlling the ball and attacking, wait for the opponent to grab, and after exposing the vacancy, they will attack, it doesn't matter if they can't play, the overall formation will not press up.

Just wait for Chelsea to press up and hit the opponent's back, that open space, it is quite easy to fight back.

Seeing the team concede the first goal again, the Chelsea players looked gloomy and were hit hard!

But taking a step back, their goal hasn't changed.

To advance, you need to score at least 3 goals.

Now, although the aggregate score has been extended by Millwall by one goal.

But as long as they can score three goals, at least, both sides will be back to square one.

So, they haven't completely given up yet, and they're still trying to attack.

Aldridge sat in the dugout and was not worried about the game.

The advantage established in the first round allowed them to play patiently and calmly on the counter-attack, and the players had no psychological baggage, after all, they were about to face the devil's schedule after this match.

It could even be argued that all of Millwall's games throughout April have been strong conversations, except, of course, the defeat to Manchester City.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Millwall repeated the old trick, this time it was Henry who broke through with the ball from the middle, advanced all the way to the opponent's back line, and then passed the ball to Villa who pulled the side, Henry and Ronaldo completed the cross run at the same time, and Ronaldo who came to the middle became a cover, and Villa sent a straight plug to Henry, who completed a low shot from a small angle in the penalty area.

"5:1, the first half is not over, Millwall has expanded the aggregate score to 5:1, there should be, there is no suspense, Chelsea want to score four goals at the Lion King Stadium, and it is in the case of Millwall taking the initiative to shrink the defense, this is simply incomparable!"

Mourinho looked blank on the sidelines, his face was slightly pale, and he shook his head slightly, knowing that he couldn't fight like this.

It's not bad for this game.

Chelsea's Champions League journey is over!

This game, the two-legged knockout round, is over!

However, Chelsea's season is not over yet, and they are only three points behind Millwall in the league table!

Although the significance of this three points is more than a win, because Millwall's goal difference is far more than Chelsea's, it is not enough to tie the points, but in theory, there is still something to chase!

Mourinho knows that if the team is not allowed to take back and give up the initiative to press the attack, then Chelsea will inevitably be bloodied by the opponent in this game!

There is no suspense!

If there is another massacre, Chelsea will collapse!

Looking at Aldridge, who seemed to be in a daze, Mourinho gritted his teeth and gestured on the sidelines without waiting for the end of the first half to let Chelsea retreat!

He wants to see what choice Millwall will make if Chelsea don't attack!

This is the Lion King Stadium! (To be continued......)
