Stamford Bridge, 30 April.

Rarely, when a strong conversation arrives, there are quite a few empty seats at Stamford Bridge.

It's not that support for Chelsea has declined among Blues fans, but it's true that many Chelsea fans have chosen to stay away from Stamford Bridge on this day.

Don't want to see the Blues lining up at Stamford Bridge to salute the arrival of the three-time league winners!

Chelsea are destined to finish runners-up in the league this season, finishing below Millwall for the second year in a row!

Millwall also successfully defended their title.

Meanwhile, Millwall's next two major fixtures are the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

Chelsea also have a Champions League final on the 18th of next month.

It stands to reason that this penultimate round of the league should be a routine affair, everyone does not want to overconsume at this time, for the top teams, really invest in playing a high-level game, especially in the Premier League, then the fierce physical confrontation will not be controlled by reason, in case of injury to key players, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, which will bury hidden dangers in the later peak battle.

Fleet Street is speculating that Jose Mourinho will put in a strong formation at home to take on defending champions Millwall.

Millwall, on the other hand, will send a lot of substitutes!

Jose Mourinho will fight for honour and dignity and will give a congratulatory gift when Millwall's league title is in hand: defeat at Stamford Bridge!

In addition, there are considerations to dampen Millwall's morale.

Millwall's sending in substitutes would be a clever move by Aldridge to wear down Chelsea's players. Laying the groundwork for the Champions League final.

But. When the game is about to start. Fleet Street reporters found out that their predictions were half right and half wrong!

Chelsea did field a strong squad but put technical players on the bench, such as Arjen Robben and Joe Cole.

Millwall, on the other hand, arrived at Stamford Bridge with a mix of the main team and substitutes.

Just looking at the battle, the two teams are going to have a fierce collision between Mars and the Earth.

In the silence at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea starters stood in two rows inside the pitch to welcome Millwall.

Millwall, led by captain De Rossi, walked into the pitch with their heads held high and triumphant. The Chelsea players were applauding on both sides, but looking at their expressions, you could clearly see the unwillingness and grievance contained in those eyes!

Mourinho sat expressionless on the coach's seat, and Aldridge had no intention of coming here to show off, and after entering the field, he also sat in the coach's seat and waited quietly for the game to start.

The welcome is like a small ceremony, only the moment recorded by the lens and camera will linger in the future.

"At this moment, the most bitter person in my heart must be Mourinho, the man who came to London two years ago with the bold words of overthrowing the Lion Dynasty, and has only narrowly achieved his goal for two years in a row. It's really only a little bit of a difference, but it's a millimeter difference. That is, the difference between the wins and losses of about two games in a season makes Chelsea, a luxury division that has been recognized as a top team in Europe, and the strength gap between Millwall and Millwall more vividly considered the strongest of the top teams and the super first-class special storage zài! Whether or not Mourinho will stay at Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, he has already proven himself here, Chelsea reached the Champions League final for the first time in history, the highest points in the Premier League era, the highest ranking and so on, Mourinho has only brought Chelsea a trophy for the time being, but he has created a team that the whole of Europe cannot be underestimated, this team is called the Blues Chelsea! ”

Surrounding Stamford Bridge is not only the ambition to win the first Champions League in the club's history, but also the fact that they are deliberately avoiding it.

Jose Mourinho's future fortunes at Stamford Bridge will depend on the outcome of the Champions League final.

If he is able to ascend to the European throne, he will inevitably continue to manage Chelsea next season, but if he fails to accomplish this feat, Abou will immediately sack him.

The opening ceremony to welcome the defending champions ended and the match went on as usual.

When Mourinho sat in the dugout and watched Millwall's opening stance, he suddenly looked down and smiled.

No ridicule, no resentment.

Probably because today's league has lost its competitive significance, Mourinho's mentality has relaxed a lot, but at this time, he has a faint feeling of sympathy with Aldridge.

From the arrangement of troops and the posture of the players on the field, the ideas of the two are once again "-for-tat", in a sense, they also coincide.

Chelsea will have all eyes on the Champions League final after this league game and then the final league game.

Millwall still have an FA Cup final, and the gap between this FA Cup final and the Champions League final is not very long, and in addition to the fitness of the players, they also have to travel and fatigue.

Therefore, in today's game, the outside world's speculation is right, Mourinho wants to use a stronger lineup to consume Millwall!

Before the game, he also thought that with Aldrich's "cunning", he would definitely use the substitute lineup to avoid the consumption of the main force and recharge his energy to compete in two important finals in a row.

That way, it doesn't matter!

Isn't Chelsea's killing of Millwall at Stamford Bridge a morale boost to their own side and a blow to their morale, causing them to lose to their local rivals in defending the league title.

But what about Aldrich?

He didn't put all the substitutes, not even the technical players on the bench like Mourinho, Ronaldo got into the starting line-up!

Obviously, Aldridge is unwilling to lose today, especially to the bitter enemy Chelsea, if it loses to other opponents who have no grudges, it is just that, really lost to the bitter enemy Chelsea, plus half a month later, the two teams have a Champions League summit battle, this result is very bad anyway!

But you can't lose, and you really can't fight hard with Chelsea here!

Therefore, Millwall mainly controlled the game after the start of the game, the formation was not pressed, and the attack was very cautious. The pace is also not fast. It's more like passively looking at what Chelsea are thinking in the game today.

Mourinho wants to consume Millwall.

Aldridge's question is: Will Mourinho be okay with another home defeat to Millwall?

Even if it's an inconsequential game!

So. Millwall didn't look particularly conservative in their defensive formation, but they did come to Stamford Bridge to play on the counter-attack!

If Chelsea want to consume Millwall, then they have to take the initiative to press the attack, and then, Millwall play their counter-attack to see who can have the last laugh!

If Qiēlsi loses, the impact on the morale of the Champions League final is what Mourinho is willing to bear?

Mourinho put on a strong formation to "deter" Millwall!

Aldridge also put on a lineup that is not weak and pinched Chelsea's "seven inches"!

Unfortunately, the fans who broadcast it on TV around the world saw that both teams fielded most of their main players to the game. I want to enjoy a strong dialogue with great interest, and I hope that the two teams will contribute a classic battle.

As a result, the scene has always been uneventful.

In 90 minutes, the two teams were tied!

The combined number of shots on goal for both sides is only 10!

Aldridge led Millwall to a full-time exit at Stamford Bridge and can begin preparations for the final two heavyweight games of the season.

A week later, the Premier League finale.

Millwall host Blackburn Rovers.

In view of Millwall's good performance in the aftermath of the Newcastle turmoil, the FA has approved Millwall's application to postpone the closure of some of the home stands until the second home break of next season. This is also too impersonal!

In this finale. Messi, Sergio Aguero. Glen Shire's trident table is excellent, Blake has overfulfilled his tasks this season, and he does not want to disturb Millwall to celebrate the championship in the last game, maybe the players' minds are not in the stadium, but thinking about where to go during the holidays, Blackburn did not show the true color of "violent Ben", but Messi and Aguero, the two little fast spirits galloped freely in their penalty area, and easily helped Millwall win the closing game 4:1.

At the end of the game, the whole Blackburn team quickly exited the field, and Millwall prepared to hold a championship ceremony.

With the FA Cup final coming up in six days, the players did not celebrate passionately in the stadium and appeared to be more restrained.

Fans in the stands cheered for the team, took pictures and asked for autographs, and Millwall's victory ceremony really looked like it was going through the motions.

Aldridge walked onto the pitch and chatted with the players.

Suddenly, someone hit him headfirst in the chest, knocking him and stumbling to the ground.

After looking closely, he saw Aguero laughing and teasing: "Boss, you are really old!" ”

Aldrich walked over and reached out to deliberately mess up Aguero's hairstyle, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm old, it's that you've grown up!" Getting stronger and stronger. ”

"Strong fart!"

De Rossi walked up to Aguero and compared the muscles in his arms with a look of disdain.

Ronaldo silently also came to the other side of Aguero and pulled up his trousers slightly, revealing his thick thighs

Aguero suddenly exclaimed, "You still have no humanity!" You should come and comfort me today! ”

Ronaldo grinned, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll borrow a medal to take a picture of you later." ”

Sergio Aguero has not made enough league appearances this season, so even if he wins the title, there will be no medal to be awarded.

However, he was prepared, at this time he pulled the collar of the jersey, and there was a medal hanging around his neck, he took it out and kissed it and smiled: "Hahaha, I don't need to borrow you, I have it!" ”

Ronaldo's eyes widened and said, "Where did you steal it from?" ”

Aguero pointed at Aldrich and said, "It was given to me by the boss, a long time ago!" ”

Aldridge didn't expect Sergio Aguero to carry that medal with him today.

Aguero showed off his medal and shouted at Aldridge before running to take a picture with others: "Boss, this time next year, I will give you my medal as a gift in return!" ”

Aldrich looked up at the sky with a smile on his face.

I silently said in my heart: I have received your return gift.

In the summer of 2006, Aldridge finished his twelfth season in charge with his eighth Premier League title! (To be continued......)
