Millwall made a substitution after scoring their fourth goal in the second half.》.[]
Henry and Ronaldo were replaced, and Grenciare and Villa came on.
All the players of the Glasgow Rangers team had already stood in formation and were ready to kick off. At this time, they were confused. Although they stood on the court with their heads held high, they were completely at a loss mentally.
Attack?
Trailing 0:4, of course they have to attack in theory, not to mention it is their home court.
But facing the powerful Millwall, even though two main players were eliminated, they still felt cold inside, which contained a sense of fear.
When Chelsea surged forward in the Premier League last season, Fleet Street praised Mourinho for training a team that made opponents afraid to attack!
In fact, this "dare not attack" still has a specific direction.
That refers to Chelsea's opponents, whose midfielders dare not attack!
Because Chelsea's 433, compared to England's 442, has one less forward, the wingers push forward, and there are no wide players in the midfield. If the opponent's midfielder attacks, no matter how other teammates fill the position, when Chelsea counterattacks
, the midfielder will definitely be defeated!
Then the players are stronger one-on-one and will quickly create an oppressive advantage when the offense advances to the front line.
However, this set of rules had already appeared in the era before Millwall in 2000.
Therefore, Millwall's opponents themselves do not dare to invest in midfield attacking players.
They will use the entire midfield and backfield as their defensive footing, and their offensive input will be on the striker or wing for counterattacks. The midfielder will never dare to rush in or penetrate behind.
Once you go up, a huge gap will be exposed behind you.
And now, the situation of Glasgow Rangers is that they don't even dare to attack forward!
If two players are attacked, the defense behind them may not be able to withstand Millwall's crazy six-seven-man offensive coordination.
Trident, two or three midfielders, plus one or two full-backs.
What makes Millwall more ruthless than Chelsea is that they are more daring to take risks!
The defense can be appropriately weakened to invest in offense, but Chelsea is completely based on the success of defense.
Especially when Millwall implements "regression" in tactics and cuts out some rich and varied detailed tactics, their team's execution will be more unified. After all, the more changes there are, the more people will work together to synchronize.
Difficult, and the fewer changes, the easier it is to cooperate. Millwall used to be on the path of ever-changing pursuits, but now it has stopped or even taken a step back, and the team's technical and tactical strength has suddenly become condensed and sublimated.
.
Glasgow Rangers pressed forward and attacked with caution.
Basically, once the attack fails, they immediately shrink their formation and retreat as a whole.
Aldridge also did not let the team kill everything, so as not to force Rangers to jump over the wall. At that time, all kinds of red cards will also make Millwall pay the price in other ways, and this victory will be cast a shadow.
Millwall took the initiative to slow down the pace and control the situation on the field.
But after all, Glasgow Rangers is not a team accustomed to big scenes. After being comfortable for a while, they rushed out to fight.
Probably, they thought Millwall had completely relaxed and they had a good opportunity.
The players on the field at Millwall themselves were planning to pay the price and call it quits. Everyone knew that they were lagging behind by a lot of points in the league, and they all wanted to stay in pursuit of points in the league. However, Glasgow Rangers rushed out and handed over the opportunity, and they could not be merciful.
In the 78th minute, Grenjaer received a diagonal pass from Kaka and went straight down the wing and swept the ball in front of the goal. Villa grabbed the spot and sent the ball into the goal, adding icing on the cake to the massacre.
"5:0... I am afraid that Glasgow Rangers did not expect to suffer such a tragic defeat at their home court in the first round of the Champions League group stage. Millwall also surprised us. According to their recent form
, perhaps no one could have expected that they could win so easily, but this is also the kingly style of Millwall. As the defending champions of the Champions League, it seems normal for them to massacre Rangers."
In the 70th minute, Aldridge used the third substitution and asked Ronaldinho to take a rest.
Maybe it was Ronaldinho's exit that gave his opponent the wrong psychological hint.
After the game, Aldridge went to shake hands with McLeish. The two had a pleasant chat before the game started. After the game, McLeish's expression made it difficult for Aldridge to open his mouth and say anything to him.
It was as if every word he said was rubbing salt into the other person's wounds, because MacLeish, expressionless, seemed to be trying his best to suppress the pain.
Millwall, who slaughtered their opponents with five goals, triumphantly returned to London.
Fleet Street immediately responded to the situation.
"The King Returns!"
"The mad lion revives!"
"Millwall declares war on Chelsea!"
What depresses Aldrich is that at this time, no media is talking about his beard anymore.
At least we should erase the nickname "Beard of Doom" from him, right?
In the weekend league, Millwall played an elite game at home.
4:0 saw off the visiting Bolton without any suspense.
In the same round of the league, Chelsea won Charlton 2:0 away from home.
The points gap between the two teams is still 9 points!
Chelsea start with six consecutive wins!
In the League Cup midweek, Millwall came on as a substitute and played a game that shocked England.
11:0, swept the fourth-tier team Macclesfield!
Villa scored four goals, Messi, Larsson and Nedved scored twice at the same time, and Baines also scored a goal.
Aldrich didn't have much feelings about the game, he just won when he won.
After all, Macclesfield is only a thin line away from a semi-professional club. It is really too weak to be on the stage. Millwall's substitute lineup has improved for all to see this season. With the combination of old and new, even if they go out as an independent team to participate in the Premier League, they can only play
In the league, I dare not say competing for the championship, but competing for fourth place is no problem.
The good news is that after two hearty victories, the fans' worries about Millwall have completely disappeared. During the home game against Macclesfield, the fans in the stands were always smiling and extremely happy.
The seventh round of the Premier League follows one after another.
Millwall visited St. James Park as a guest. Aldridge brought an energetic main force to challenge the Magpies led by Souness. Compared with the situation where they were successfully relegated at the end of last season, Newcastle United changed their appearance this season and started well. Ranking
It won't make people worry, but at this time, they met Millwall who needed to chase points. Even though they had the advantage of home court, they still couldn't resist Millwall's crushing footsteps.
At St. James' Park, the aging Shearer failed to become the focus. Under Millwall's tight defense, he hardly played any role, while Henry became the focus, with the help of Ronaldinho, Kaká and Ronaldo.
Next, Henry scored a hat-trick, much to the dismay of the home fans at St. James' Park.
Shearer, the striker who once made England tremble, is about to be surpassed by another person again.
The current record holder in the Premier League scorer list is Larsson, followed by Shearer, followed by Henry. Today, Henry surpassed the 220-goal mark in the Premier League, only 32 points away from Shearer.
It seems that Magpies fans can already see Henry surpassing Shearer and catching up with Larsson's record of 263 goals in the total scorer list.
Millwall stormed St. James' Park, and in the same round, Chelsea narrowly defeated Aston Villa 2:1 at home.
Won seven consecutive wins in the Premier League!
Aldridge was deep in thought after the game.
He returned to the club and asked the coaching staff to collect tapes of Chelsea's first seven league games.
He took the video home to watch, not intending to study anything, but simply watching the game.
Look, what the hell are Chelsea's opponents doing!
In itself, Chelsea has not made drastic changes in their playing style, and counter-attacking is still the core of their tactics.
So, why can’t the Premier League team, which was defeated by Chelsea last season, be more pragmatic this season?
Could it be that just because Chelsea didn't win the league championship, everyone still doesn't care about Chelsea?
Is sniping against Millwall still the top priority?
This is not good!
Millwall plays almost all opponents in tough battles, but Chelsea, the runner-up in the Premier League last season, can still fight back comfortably. This simply makes Aldridge angry!
Yes, Millwall is a public enemy!
But you can’t give victory to Chelsea easily!
Because it was Chelsea, not Millwall, who changed the rules of the football game!
Fleet Street was still praising Millwall before a round, but after the seventh round of the Premier League, it began to praise and encourage Chelsea.
"Chelsea, which has won seven consecutive games, still maintains a 9-point lead over defending champion Millwall. If the points advantage can be maintained at more than 6 points in the first half of the league, then Chelsea will definitely use all possible means to keep the Premier League championship trophy in hand.
The end of the season comes to Stamford Bridge for the first time! Mourinho's side now look unbeatable, Millwall have turned the Premier League into a competition that can't make mistakes, and they may be ready for a long start to the new season.
He accidentally lost 9 points and regretted the whole season! The best news for Mourinho is that Chelsea’s first league match with Millwall this season will be on Christmas Day in December.
In September, Millwall will compete in the Club World Cup, and Chelsea will definitely have an advantage in terms of physical fitness. What Chelsea have to do now is to keep a low profile and maintain or even further expand their lead. At least they are not as dazzling as Millwall."
Fleet Street currently hopes that Chelsea can maintain its lead, because the overall strategic outlook predicts that Chelsea's most unstable phase of the season will occur after January next year.
First of all, the African Cup will inevitably cause Chelsea to lose Drogba and Essien in the short term. Then starting from March, the Champions League and the League will compete on two fronts. If Chelsea still has expectations for the FA Cup, it may evolve into a three-front battle.
In terms of ability to control the overall situation in that situation, the outside world still thinks that Millwall is more mature and calm than Chelsea. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
