The Lion King Stadium, the full stands cheered the sky!

The referee blew the whistle.

The battle of the pinnacle of the British, the war begins!

Millwall boss Aldridge.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

The two men stood on the sidelines about twenty yards apart.

Two of the most watched managers in England and Europe have met again.

Aldridge smiled disdainfully at the corners of his mouth when he saw Chelsea's posturing gesture after the opening.

Hehehe, Chelsea, or Chelsea.

A long time ago, when he was determined to challenge all the great managers of his generation, the young Aldridge couldn't wait to fight Mourinho.

Perhaps at the moment when they first met in the Netherlands, Aldridge even had a ridiculous idea at the time: the elder Robson simply gave up the coaching position to Mourinho as an assistant, and let Mourinho coach Barcelona, who had the extraterrestrial Ronaldo's gorgeous offensive at the time, to have a peak duel with his first-generation Lions.

In the years that followed, perhaps in the waiting, this expectation was exhausted.

When Jose Mourinho really appeared on his radar as a manager, Aldridge's mentality had changed.

He doesn't think Mourinho is special.

It may be due to the experience after reading thousands of sails.

√ has long √ style √ literature and √, ⊙∞∷ET has been in the European finals for two consecutive years, plus several encounters last season, Aldridge is already "tired" of facing Mourinho!

Because the other party can't surprise himself!

A utilitarian and pragmatic person does not have many unexpected tricks.

In the aggressive and adventurous arrangement, there were many encounters. Aldridge enjoyed the battle with Ferguson even more. And not with Mourinho.

Mourinho just had a good hand. Then play the cards in the way that they have the best chance of winning, and not in the most beautiful or shocking way to win a full house or shock the world.

If you want to say that Chelsea's current set of defense, not to mention how many teams have played in history, when Serie A was strong and dominated Europe, steel defense and utilitarian style of play were commonplace.

See, Chelsea's defenders are afraid to step out of the box.

See. How evident is the barrier formed by Chelsea's midfield.

See, Chelsea's wide players are harassing the defence and always ready to counter-attack from the flanks, and Frank Lampard must be ready to step in at all times.

Aldridge was tired of his opponents.

From the start, Millwall were at home and of course had to press the opposition in attack, and they were doing just that, with 11 Chelsea players in their own half and Millwall having seven in the opposition half, with the crowd clearly centred on the Chelsea half.

Jose Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a stern expression. Reading the game with a deep eye is to examine every detail on the pitch.

Chelsea were really on the counter-attack today. However, he has a new preparation in counter-attacking tactics.

According to the guidelines of previous counterattacks, it is to find the largest gap in the counterattack as a safe corridor to advance the offensive.

Today Mourinho's tactical arrangement is the opposite!

In his vision, if Millwall's continued offensive work is ineffective, the full-backs will have to attack aggressively.

If Schneider assists, then Millwall's right side defense has a lot of space, according to the conventional tactical arrangement, in the execution, Chelsea counterattack, must use this side!

But Mourinho is not like this today, because it is too conventional, Millwall must have a way to deal with it, and play attacking football like this all year round, Millwall must also be accustomed to the opponent's counter-attacking routine, using the gap in their full-back assists to play counterattacks.

What Chelsea has to do is, instead, when the counterattack advances, from the other side, let Robben break through Millwall's own defense on the right side and does not expose the obvious vacancy on the left side, Mourinho is confident that as long as Robben can break through Lahm, this will allow Millwall's defensive focus to further shift to this side, at that time, Chelsea's offensive end will be transferred again, from right to left, the left side that is already vacant will give the winger on the other side a wider space!

His killer move was not Didier Drogba, but rather two wingers who burst on one side on the counter-attack, creating the advantage of both flanks, creating a chain reaction in the Millwall defence, and finally turning back to the other side of the defence that was more lax.

Did his vision work?

Mourinho doesn't know, no one will know, only the results will tell.

But when observing the game, as the time passed minute by minute, Mourinho's eyes gradually became solemn, and then, a faint panic was released!

He turned his head to look at Aldrich, who was holding his chest high, as if in this space, his hands were turning into clouds and his hands were raining!

I wanted to ask him a question: Millwall, the team that claims to represent offensive football, is it also cowardly?

That's right, on the pitch, Millwall's full-backs will never go behind enemy lines, except for the central midfield support!

The full-back's assists are significantly weakened!

Millwall, on the other hand, kept Chelsea at the back, immobilizing their opponents.

The reason is that the forward line with Millwall is not too forward, the range of movement is in front of the penalty area, combined with the teammates in the middle and back, their three-line formation is tightly compressed in the space between the two penalty areas, and then through the guò pass control to press the opponent, creating the ultimate offensive form, will not be threatened by Chelsea when the counterattack, will make the final blow, success or failure, at least the defense will never expose the gap for the opponent to use.

Chelsea's back line shrank behind the big penalty area line, and he didn't dare to push it out, for fear of being offside by the opponent!

Defenders can't support the midfield, wingers are on the defensive, but they also have to be ready to counter-attack, so they can't run into the middle to support the defense, Millwall in the midfield when passing, the point of contact seems to be more than the opponent's defenders, often sudden forward passes make Chelsea players panic, immediately retreat deeper to compress space.

The corners of Mourinho's mouth twitched, as if to suppress resentment.

With Millwall's style of play, Chelsea's counter-attacking plan fell through.

The most critical question is: Millwall did not put more troops into the box. It was right to press the offense through the half. But the main thing is to create an advantage outside the penalty area, even if it is the last blow, as long as there is a good angle for a long shot, they will shoot decisively!

There is really no shortage of long-range shooters in the Millwall team, Ronaldo, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso. Even Henry's retreating long-range shot was quite powerful.

After 2o minutes of play, Millwall had six shots, all from outside the box, while Chelsea had a tally of shots: O.

Chelsea were passive.

"Martin, now look at Millwall's release of Frank Lampard, we can't speculate on Sir Hall's thoughts with the outside world simply comparing the players' abilities, I think the most important thing is the characteristics of the players! In today's game, if we compare the midfielders of the two teams individually, or even in combination, you will be evenly matched. Frank Lampard, who is the runner-up of both the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year. His current Kaka comparison may be even stronger, Essien and Makelele, Alonso and De Rossi, we can hardly say that Chelsea's midfield is worse than Millwall's midfield, but the shape on the field intuitively tells us: Chelsea has no advantage in the midfield, it is completely at a disadvantage! ”

'Yes, Chelsea couldn't make a steady play in the midfield, they were always trying to get the ball forward in Millwall's grip, but they couldn't guarantee the continuation of the attack.

"That's right, the biggest difference between Chelsea and Millwall's midfield is that Frank Lampard, the heart of Chelsea's midfield, is too forward and Alonso? But he honestly stays in a fixed area and becomes an attacking playmaker, not only connecting his teammates around him, but even forward, he is also a response point behind the attack, and he is not always actively pushing forward to score goals. This is the difference in the characteristics of the players, we can't say who is better than whom, we can only say that in the tactical system of the two teams, Alonso will be more suitable for Millwall than Lampard, on the other hand, although Chelsea have a strong midfield, they don't seem to have a concept of game control and rhythm changes, of course, if someone says that the game of control that kills time after Chelsea is ahead is called control, then I don't say anything. ”

"Hehe, Millwall has given the outside world the impression that the midfield is extremely strong in the past ten years, with Pirlo in the past and Alonso now, this is probably the outside world has been discussing Sir Hall's coaching style, dominating the midfield, and then bullying the opponent wantonly!"

Aldridge has not followed Mourinho's condition on the sidelines.

His boredom is not just a psychological expression.

It's really out in the game.

There may be a lot of people who think that Millwall wants to prove that they are stronger than Chelsea, so no matter what kind of formation Chelsea puts on, what kind of tactics are used, Millwall must carry the banner of attacking football and crush Chelsea as if they were dead!

There was a time in the past when Aldridge had this idea, the more utilitarian the opponent, the more I will use passionate and romantic football to overthrow you!

But now, Aldrich has no such thoughts.

He thinks he's more mature.

Switching positions, if he is Mourinho and puts on a formation with extreme anti-counter, then what do you want most?

Of course, it is the opponent who attacks up, attacks recklessly, exposes the void behind his body indefinitely, and gives a counterattack fertile ground that can be staged with one blow!

If Aldridge gives Mourinho what he wants, does it mean that Aldridge is strong, or does it mean that Aldridge is hopelessly stupid?

If the game is lost in the end, it is simply a great irony, as if you know your opponent's hole cards, but still offer a dagger in both hands, let the opponent enjoy it, frantically hold the dagger and stab it into your body!

He didn't want to do this kind of stupid thing anymore.

When Mourinho dares to really have an offensive duel with him that does not need to be passionate, or a contest of posture balance, then he will get rid of this boredom of Mourinho.

The value of the whole Chelsea team is not low.

You can't play Millwall every time, when Millwall attack, at least 7 to 9, but when Chelsea attack, it becomes 4 to 4 or even 4 to 3, and there is still open space.

Is it fair? (To be continued......)
