The Young Lion

Two hundred and fifty eighth Stamford Bridge tragedy

Chelsea had to kick off again in the middle circle in less than two minutes, and the guys fell behind before they were running hot. This start was really bad.

When Zola kicked the ball to Di Matteo again, Chelsea's formation began to press forward, and when they fell behind, they had to score to recover the score. This is a perfectly normal thinking.

So their midfielder moved forward and Di Matteo was entangled by Nedved, he was looking for a forward spot, but his teammates were all marked, so he had to pass the ball back.

Pass error! Di Matteo didn't pay attention to the situation behind him. His return pass was weak and was cut off by Larsson halfway. Larsson moved the ball laterally. Trezeguet pulled out a catch in front of the penalty area The ball is empty, Shevchenko cuts in, Larsson makes a pass, he passes the ball to Ballack who comes up behind him, and there is a large undefended area between the Chelsea defense line and the midfield line!

Chelsea was originally an attack, and the midfielders all passed the center line. As a result, Di Matteo made a pass back to the team. The midfielder and the defender were out of touch, and Millwall quickly organized the attack.

Ballack strode forward with the ball, and no one stopped him until he brought the ball to the penalty area before gently rubbing the ball, and the ball flew obliquely behind the penalty area.

The dense offensive players in the middle were all stared by the three defenders in the middle of Chelsea.

But it was still missed!

Nedved sprinted forward the moment DiMatteo made a mistake in returning a pass, accelerating all the way into the penalty area without hesitation.

The moment Ballack passed the ball, Nedved happened to pass by Duberry, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be offside. Because there was still Leboeuf in front, but Leboeuf moved to the other side to prevent Shevchenko from cutting inside.

The Czech leaps high to meet the ball. With a strong head forward, the ball flew straight to the dead corner of the goal after the impact.

The Dutch national goalkeeper De Houye looked at the ball and sighed. He staggered back a few steps and leaned on the net to stabilize his center of gravity.

Leboeuf was furious, and he yelled at Clark pointing at the position where Nedved hit the goal: You should come over to make up for it!

Clark looked annoyed and had nowhere to vent.

Mahler Gobi, to put it lightly, try playing as a full-back, while the opponent's full-back is attacking. On the other side, the winger cuts in, and both left and right must be taken care of. Now even the opponent's midfielder needs a full back to fill in. How much does I earn in a year...

After Nedved's goal, he waved to all his teammates who ran towards him.

When everyone ran up to him and wanted to hug him, he smiled and asked, Where is the boss?

Larson pointed to the direction of the stands on the other side of the box where Aldrich was, and Nedved beckoned for everyone to run over there with him.

And there are Chelsea fans under the stands over there, they think that these rival players are here to provoke. All of a sudden they stood up and shouted angrily.

Nedved and his teammates fought in a row, and then everyone put away the smiles on their faces, and raised their heads and chests in unison and saluted solemnly.

The Chelsea fans were stunned, and they even admitted in their hearts: the opposite team is too enviable! United, strong, generals with one heart. This he-mother is the teacher of the king!

Oh, ho ho, De Hooyer, who had three clean sheets in the first five rounds of the league, was shot through the goal twice in less than five minutes. Although the second goal came from Chelsea's own mistake, we can see that in the In the final attack, Millwall's two goal routines are the same. The three forwards run to attract the defense in a short time, and the two midfielders rush in at high speed. One assists, and the other appears unexpectedly in front of the goal to complete Of course, Chelsea had too much space in front of the box after losing the ball, no one interfered with Ballack, the ball he passed to Nedved was very comfortable, and now they greet Hall in the box after the goal, This is Millwall, the Wild Lions!

After scoring the second goal, Aldridge stood up directly in the box, raised his fists high and looked rebellious.

When the players were saluting together on the sidelines below the stands, Aldridge's expression softened, and while applauding, he looked at Ivan and smiled, showing an intoxicated smile.

Aldridge thought: I knew it, I knew you could do it, you are the best!

There is nothing that excites a coach more than a player who can implement the coach's tactical intentions and do better than expected.

It was a sense of accomplishment, an indescribable wonderful enjoyment.

But first of all, this group of players is capable of doing this. Otherwise, if Aldridge is given a bunch of rotten wood, even if the head coach has a varied tactical system, it will not be able to achieve the most basic effect.

What satisfies him the most is the striker trident who jointly scored almost a hundred goals in all competitions last season. The three players all have the most precious sacrifice spirit of a star. There is a tacit understanding in attracting defensive forces in the running position.

If it was Millwall last season, this kind of ball must have been three forwards attacking the opponent's defense from three directions, but today the three of them tore up the defense, consciously pulling Chelsea's defense to one side, creating a problem for the other side. When empty, Millwall's ball strategy in offense has also changed.

In the past, it was a chain from the back to the front. Everyone did their own work, the defenders were assigned to the midfielders, the midfielders were assigned to the forwards, and the forwards scored goals.

But after a new round of transformation, Millwall's offensive routine is more full of changes. The striker began to form a cover for the midfielder. Find the striker as an end point.

Chelsea was completely stunned.

Gullit looked livid on the sidelines. Chelsea is now two goals behind. What should the team do?

Attack and play their original sexy football.

But the next game completely entered the rhythm of Millwall's control. Chelsea's original starting lineup was defensive, and they took the initiative to attack and could not gain the upper hand in the midfield area, which made their offense difficult.

In contrast to Millwall, when the opponent is no longer a tight defense in the second half. Their offensive firepower was strongly released.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Millwall launched another quick counterattack.

Nedved retreated to meet the ball and gave it to Ballack who plugged in. The forwards moved again. This time Leboeuf was smart. He no longer focused on the situation in the penalty area, but paid more attention to the running position of the opponent outside the penalty area.

Ballack moves laterally with the ball and then throws a long pass over the top.

Shevchenko started in the top corner of the box, Le Saux and Babajaro doubled him, but the ball went over their heads when it landed near the bottom line of the box. The Chelsea defense wanted to look in disbelief at the man who stopped the ball in that position: Schneider!

The strikers not only provide cover for the midfielders, but also attract defensive forces for the full-backs.

Schneider took the ball from the bottom line. When Chelsea's defense was shocked, the man-marking went out of the line. Larson, who emerged from behind, took the lead and poked the ball into the near corner of the goal with his toe. Larsson's Duberry, who was chasing all the way, directly knocked Leboeuf and Trezeguet to the ground.

Chelsea's goal was turned on their backs, but the ball had already been scored.

After Larson scored the goal, he laughed wildly and ran backwards, sticking out his big tongue...

Gullit was going crazy, yelling at the players angrily, and he started making substitutions.

What is Chelsea doing? Substitution within 30 minutes? Gullit is slapping himself!

No way, Martin. As you said, in less than 30 minutes, Chelsea were three goals behind. Gullit can no longer use five backs. Anyway, this formation will definitely be bombarded after the game. He also realized that he was wrong, and used substitutions to correct his mistakes before the game. Even if the game cannot be saved, if he can score one or two goals, then he will not be under too much pressure after the game.”

However, I don't think Chelsea can score goals by replacing a defender with a striker. What if they concede more goals?

Mark Hughes replaces Babayaro, Leboeuf goes from a sweeper to one of two centre-backs, Chelsea go back to their previous 4-4-2 formation. Hey, Babayaro and Gullit had a quarrel, I He said he understands that there is no injury, but the player was replaced in less than 30 minutes, and it happened in such a high-profile game, which would make the player feel humiliated.

Gullit still wanted to shake hands with Babayaro when he was off the court to comfort him.

But Baba Yaluo didn't give Braid any face at all, and shouted at the other party excitedly: If you don't trust me, just don't let me play in the game!

Gullit also countered: The team conceded three goals, how can you trust me?

Don't try to blame me for conceding the ball! It's your bad tactical arrangement that went wrong! Shit-like tactical arrangement!

Babayaro excitedly quarreled with Gullit on the sidelines. The assistant coach had to come out and drag the players into the player tunnel. Gullit looked extremely ugly.

And Gullit's substitution also made Chelsea players dissatisfied.

Not that there was anything wrong with replacing Babayaro.

The team fell behind, wanted to attack, removed a defensive player, and let the formation return to the 442 they used to play. Everyone took it for granted.

But why was the 34-year-old Mark Hughes replaced.

Whether it is training or limited playing opportunities, Vialli, who has a high scoring rate, is still placed on the bench.

Not only inside Chelsea, the outside world knows that Gullit and Vialli are at odds, but at this time, the teammates hope that Vialli will play to help the team.

At least when attacking, there is an Italian trio in the frontcourt, Di Matteo, Zola, and Vialli.

Gullit's substitution caused controversy and also caused dissatisfaction among the players.

This time, Chelsea's morale became even more depressed after the substitution.

Just ten minutes later, Shevchenko was brought down by Leboeuf in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty.

There was silence in the stands at Stamford Bridge, and the fans looked numb and did not protest the referee's penalty.

Originally Millwall led by three goals, if it wasn't for a particularly obvious foul, the referee would definitely not call a penalty, but Lebouf knocked Shevchenko from behind when he obviously couldn't get the ball. He didn't even touch the ball. If the referee didn't blow a penalty, it would be too ostentatious.

Larson took the penalty kick and it was done overnight.

The Millwall players came to the visiting stands and danced and swayed rhythmically from side to side.

Wild Lions fans also twisted their bodies and danced in the stands following the movements of the players. Today is undoubtedly a game enjoyed by the fans.

Gullit sat back covering his face with his hands, as if he was about to let go.

Before the half-time break, after the fourth goal was scored, the fans in the stands of Stamford Bridge had already started to line up and leave the stadium in an orderly manner.

I can't stand it anymore!

At halftime, Benitez used up two substitutions.

Glenshire replaces Larsson and Neil replaces Gianluca Gianluca.

Millwall began to shrink in the second half, and Chelsea was crushed by Millwall's defensive counterattack after attacking.

When the final whistle sounded, the stands at Stamford Bridge were already largely empty.

Many of the fans who were still in the stands shouted angrily to tell Gullit to leave, and some covered their faces and cried.

There is a bloody score on the scoreboard.

0:7.

International practice, the home team first.

Millwall created the Stamford Bridge tragedy that shocked English football. (To be continued.
