The Young Lion

Chapter 147: Millwall

Millwall, despite being three points behind Newcastle United, has become a favourite to win the Premier League.

"Daily Mail" spent a large page to analyze Millwall's advantages, which emphasized that Millwall already has a championship appearance.

In the 34-round league, Millwall only lost to Nottingham Forest on the road, which represents their stability.

The number of goals conceded in the 26 leagues is the least in the Premier League. Although 64 goals are not the most in the league, the characteristics of Millwall's ability to attack and defend well can be seen through the goal difference.

After winning the League Cup, Millwall is more dominant on the court, and the momentum is so fast that most opponents can only passively defend when facing them.

Starting in April, Millwall doubles every week. The density of playing one game every three days is really amazing. They play one more league matchup and the FA Cup than Newcastle, and one more than Manchester United. Games, and almost no rotation.

Aldridge complained a little bit. If it were not for the European Cup held in England in 1996, the Premier League schedule would not be compressed so tightly in the final stage.

When Millwall came to Stamford Bridge, they were greeted by boos and shouts.

Chelsea is still the tepid Chelsea. The championship is a fancy night. It is also incapable of infecting tickets in Europe. Having enough relegation scores four rounds in advance has become a worry-free holiday.

However, today's game is a London Derby. In view of the endless hatred between the two teams, Chelsea boss Bates specifically gave the team a death order: go crazy!

It's not that the team must win. Bates himself feels that this is not realistic. Millwall's power is obvious to all, but he hopes that Chelsea can **** Millwall's title.

As long as Millwall could lose points in this round, Millwall basically said goodbye to the league champion.

Chelsea can only pursue this aspect now.

Relatives are hurting their enemies soon, and their rivals cannot win the championship. Chelsea naturally likes to hear it.

Bates did not invite Arthur to Stamford Bridge to watch the ball, but Arthur was very enthusiastic and did not invite him. He also sat beside Bates in the stands, and the two of them happily greeted each other.

The words spoken from the mouths of the two people are not at odds with each other, which is basically an old rogue who scolds the street without a line.

"Bates, give the champion chairman one?"

"Go tell your three sons to act like idiots for your pleasure!"

"If I beat you here, what do you think?"

"Can you still walk out of Stamford Bridge?"

"Try it?"

"Try your whole family, you **** dare to come, I'm calling someone!"

"Laugh, don't be nervous like I want to **** you."

...

Even though the gap between the two teams is somewhat different in strength, the game with too many factors in it has become very hot.

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray have been staring at the scores of other games in the commentary, of course it is the game between Manchester United and Newcastle United.

As soon as Chelsea came up, he took a posture of anti-reflexion, stealing less than three points, and holding one point was enough to make Millwall cry home.

Aldridge ignored the screams in the stands behind him, and he was not happy.

The players still showed the momentum of the tigers going down the mountain after playing today. They are extremely brave!

Almost to eat the opponent in one breath.

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Aldridge's words to them all turned into deaf ears.

It's not that the players blatantly disobeyed the will of the head coach. It's just that the Premier League trophy naturally emerged in the minds of the players as soon as they played. In order to win the championship, it was naturally a fight!

The smell of gunpowder has always been strong on the field. Millwall players played fast and smooth with the pass and cut. Chelsea could block it and start fouling.

Mr. Gullit did not make the starting lineup today. His physical fitness and enthusiasm for fighting are no longer sufficient for such a fierce game.

In fact, even if Gullit arrived, the spiritual leader and core main force of Chelsea did not become him, but another local player, Dennis Wise.

This bad guy has become the protagonist of today!

He is an atypical villain in the Premier League.

Why is he atypical villain?

See what he has done. Three minutes after the game started, he kicked Nedved and the referee punished him for a foul. It seemed that he walked over to get a card, but this guy Wise was smiling and taking the initiative. Reaching to support Nedved, he also used an implicit apology to help Nedved shoot the jersey. When the referee saw that Nedved did not seem to be substantially harmed, he warned Wise to give a few words.

Seeing this scene, Aldridge bowed his head silently and was helpless.

Nedved's role model is too real.

People kicked him, as long as he could get up, he would not delay for a second on the ground.

It's not Aldridge's hope that he can come to an impromptu performance, but this kind of player, the referee often does not take the initiative to protect.

This is in the midst of Dennis Wise's arms. He is such an atypical villain. He changed someone else, like Keane, Jones, then I will shovel you, and after the shoveling, the referee will give the card. I was angry, and I broke your legs without blinking.

But the boy Wise just pretended to be the wrong one after doing a bad thing. He packed you hard the first second and extended his hand with apology with apology the next second.

He is a small player, but he doesn't look particularly strong, so he fouled fiercely, and he didn't feel much harm.

Knowing his professional background, he knows where he has developed his skills.

Produced by Kuangbang, "Vicious Slam".

When Dennis Wise kicked Nedved for the third time, Aldridge kicked the water bottle on the sidelines and roared to the fourth official: "Do you **** wait for my player to break his leg?" Make a difference?"

The head referee couldn't stand it anymore and gave Denis Wise a yellow card. Wise dropped his hands and expressed his innocence. He thought the referee's penalty was unfair.

He even signaled to the referee: You see, the Czech, he can run and jump, the speed is not slow at all, my foul just looks like a big move, in fact did not hurt him at all!

The head referee ignored Wise's argument and the game continued.

Chelsea paid five yellow cards in the first half to bring the draw into the locker room.

Aldridge found that the atmosphere inside the team became very depressed during the halftime break.

Everyone wants a championship and knows that every game must be won, so they become nervous.

Aldridge did not talk about tactics, but let the physical therapists relax the muscles of the players. He now wants to shout to the players: Normal mind!

However, he knew that what he said was useless.

The day before the game, he spoke for more than an hour at the preparation meeting.

Now players have a feeling of getting into trouble, and there is nothing other than the champion in their eyes.

This made them into a formation imbalance when they played on the field. If Chelsea were not strong enough, Millwall would have been destroyed by the counterattack.

The masseur took off the ball socks and leg guards on Nedved's legs and found that his right leg had swollen a large bag, and the bruise was very obvious.

Aldridge came to Nedved, frowning worriedly.

Nedved took a sip and raised his head to say firmly, "Boss, I'm fine."

Aldridge looked around the other players and asked Shen Sheng: "How are you feeling?"

One by one, sweat-covered faces that were obviously tired but unanimously showed their resolute colors, the players shared the same voice: "No problem."

Aldrich knew they were lying, but there was no way to do it. At this time, who would be forced to change would only cause conflicts.

After the players played in the second half, Aldridge sat down, and Jensen worriedly beside him: "I feel the team is almost out of control! You see, Claude rushed directly across the middle circle as soon as he played. They are too If you want to score a goal, you have simply used the number to accumulate your offensive advantage."

Aldridge shook his head and said nothing.

Now this team is not the team that last year played in the first division of League One, which required Audridge to keep his tactics in his mouth.

The tactical play is maturing, and the confidence that the players have accumulated has given them a strong autonomy.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit like the obscure little people in the martial arts novels. Suddenly one day, he became a masterpiece, thinking that he can create an invincible world.

This is an inevitable stage. Their wings are hardened and they think they can fly, but they do not realize that a mature team depends not only on good players but also on a good leader.

At this particular stage, Aldridge is afraid to make a conflict with the players. He can only be silent, so that these players who think they can desperately win the championship do what they want to do. It’s useless to reason with them. of.

In the second half, Dennis Wise fouled again in the 53rd minute and got him a second yellow card and was sent off. Hoddle protested to the fourth official on the sidelines and Aldridge looked on coldly.

Millwall, who played one more person, scored in the 80th minute of the second half.

The scene at that time made Aldridge sad.

A mess!

Yes, the players on the field have lost their minds to win the ball, and they are frantically winging the ball. Is it the chance to pursue a threatening pass or shot? Stam, Thuram, Zambrotta all rushed Before the opponent's penalty area, only Elgra guarded the backcourt.

A goal is a shot change in a scuffle.

Thuram made a shot from outside the penalty area and didn't know who and who's legs were touched in the dense penalty area, and then rolled to the goal. Trezeguet slammed the ball into Chelsea's gate with his toes in the crowd.

With this unconvincing goal, Millwall achieved a victory in the chaos.

Manchester United and Newcastle United won the game at the same time, and the situation for the championship remains unchanged.

Aldrich praised the team's performances differently, claiming that this victory was won by the Millwall team's hard work, and that each boy's performance was top-notch.

Actually he wanted to scold the team, but he couldn't.

In addition to the field goal scored in the chaotic game, Millwall's performance was simply a disaster. The offense and defense were unbalanced. The attack did indeed seem to have a strong momentum, but it has always been unable to score.

If these players can't calmly face the game under the big scene, Aldridge really can't have high hopes for them.

If Chelsea can score a goal for them first, maybe they will collapse.

But anyway, luck is on Millwall's side, which makes exhausted players gleeful on the return bus.

As parties, they did not realize that their performance today has lost their dominance of the game.

After two days of rest, Millwall team trained for a day, and then ushered in a tough battle, the main scene against Leeds United.

Because of the last round of losing, with the last three rounds left in the league, Leeds United is still in danger of relegation, for them, every point must be contested.
