Chapter 277 Millwall and Chelsea
Chelsea were the Premier League champions last season.

As the defending champion, the season has just begun, and Chelsea is the team that attracts the most attention. Even Manchester United and Arsenal are not as eye-catching as Chelsea, because of Chelsea's good results, because of their big money in the transfer market, and because of Their head coach, Jose Mourinho, is a controversial figure.

In the 55 rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea played almost perfect results. They scored [-] points, only lost five points, and lost one game to Manchester United.

The Christmas War is a critical moment.

Many media are 'expecting' that Chelsea's performance will decline a bit, leaving opportunities for the teams behind them, otherwise there will be no suspense in the Premier League championship.

Chelsea's opponents are also tough.

The first game after Christmas was against Arsenal, followed by a match against rivals Fulham in the same city, and then we met Manchester City, which was not an easy team to deal with. It was so difficult to play three consecutive games. Chelsea After all, some points will be lost, right?

The media were disappointed.

Chelsea first easily defeated the home team Arsenal with two goals in the away game, and then defeated the rival Fulham [-]-[-] at home with difficulty. Manchester City also won the last round of away games with a goal.In the three games, except for the difficult game against Fulham, the other two games scored early, and there was no suspense in winning.

The British media did not hesitate to praise Chelsea, and Chelsea's perfect performance could not be criticized. In the media's reports on Chelsea, they are happy to talk about Chelsea players.

The core player in the Chelsea team is Frank Lampard. The data alone is enough to explain the problem: Lampard is the player with the most appearances for Chelsea. He has played all the games in the Chelsea League. 'iron Man'.

In addition, Lampard has scored eleven goals in all competitions. He is the player with the most goals for Chelsea. He also has the most assists. He has thirteen assists. , accuracy rate, number of shots on goal frame, number of yellow cards allowed to opponents, etc., are all number one in the Chelsea team. From these figures, it can also be concluded that Chelsea is Lampard's team. He is the true king of all abilities. In so many games, he has maintained a stable performance and made such outstanding contributions in various statistics. Even if you search all over European football, it is really very rare.

In the Chelsea team, in addition to Lampard, Robben, Drogba, Makelele and others also performed outstandingly, excluding the absolute main players, such as Good Johnson, Bridge, Kezhiman, etc. The players on the edge of the bench also performed very stably.

This is the real horror of Chelsea.

Their absolute main players have performed very well, and the bench players who have played less often have not bad performances every time they play, which shows that Chelsea's overall lineup is impeccable, and even if the main players are injured, their performance will not be affected.

Chelsea's best performer in the past three rounds is Joe Cole.

The former Joe Cole was somewhat famous, but compared to Lampard, Drogba and others, he was still a little worse. His recent performance made him Chelsea's hottest player.

"Joe Cole is my best attacker right now!" Mourinho once said after the [-]-[-] victory over Fulham.Joe Cole sent the winning assist in the game, and it was this assist that helped Chelsea beat Fulham with difficulty.

After the game, Joe Cole was named the player of the game.

"Joe Cole is untouchable at the moment," Mourinho said. "Tonight in every aspect of the game, he was so good. Two games in three days, but physically, he is a little It's amazing. Cole is strong, holds the ball under pressure. He's great one-on-one, has a huge hunger for goals, his performances are unbelievable, he's such a good player. "

It wasn't one time that Joe Cole played well.

In the three consecutive league rounds after Christmas, Joe Cole made key contributions. He scored a goal to seal the victory against Arsenal, and his wonderful pass assisted Crespo to score the winning goal against Fulham. In the round against Manchester City, it was he who made the final decision and took away three points.

Joe Cole is in the limelight, and Chelsea are ready to keep people.

Lampard got a lucrative contract last season and now Chelsea are preparing to reward Joe Cole.

Joe Cole is very loyal. When interviewed by reporters, he said that he is focusing on the court and the contract renewal negotiation is "not in a hurry". "I want to stay at Chelsea, but it is still in the middle of the season. The contract thing is bothering me. I'm the type of person who has to focus on the game but the club have said they want to keep me so we'll sit down in the summer and hopefully everything will work out by then .”

"I had a great 2005, I played a lot of games and I'm happy with how things are going, of course I can't sit back and think about the World Cup for the next six months, I have to play for Chelsea and perform. Excellent. That comes first."

In the three Christmas games, Joe Cole scored two goals and assisted once. The statistics are the most recent for Chelsea. The sports page of "The Times" praised Joe Cole, "He is explaining with numbers" The meaning of "Chelsea's best attacker at the moment!"

A quick glance at the media coverage and praise for Chelsea is everywhere.

But is the media really praising Chelsea?

Perhaps some of the Blues supported the media because they were genuinely happy with Chelsea's outstanding performance, and some neutral media only made some praise reports after seeing Chelsea's good performance, but a large part of the media was not sincere.

Most of the British media has no reason to support Chelsea.

The United Kingdom is a very magical football country. The support of various media for the team is very clearly divided into regions. It is almost impossible for the northern media to support the southern team. However, the southern region, even if it is limited to Within the London region, the media is divided into several camps. Except for a few media in central and western London, the media in other places will only support the teams in their own region.

The above mentioned are 'regional medium and small media'.

When the influence of a media expands, the geographical area of ​​"influence" also expands, but they still have regional tendencies. For example, London media will support London teams, and the representative is "The Times"; The Manchester media will support the Manchester team. The representative is the "Manchester Athletic", and other major media also support their respective regions.

Within the London region, the major media will not all support Chelsea. There are many teams in the London region. Arsenal's historical influence is obviously not comparable to Chelsea.

In addition to the 'regional' division of the media, the media's impression of the team is also very important.

For example, Millwall has always been criticized. When the team does not perform well, there are negative analyzes in the news. There are many reasons for this, but two reasons are very important: one is that Millwall performed too well. Well, when a newly promoted horse shows its strength, it will be praised by many media, but if it performs better than the rich team, it will face a series of difficulties.

The second is to publicize oneself.

Millwall's performance is so outstanding, the leader is actually a young man in his early twenties?If it were an Englishman, the British media would definitely praise it.Chinese?Will that football-desert country produce any top coaches?

The media will not admit to being 'racist', they consider questioning as a necessary means.

Chelsea's situation is even worse than Millwall's.

Chelsea's performance is too good. After [-] rounds of the league, they only lost five points. If Chelsea continue to perform well, the title of the Premier League champion will be determined early. Isn't it equivalent to monopolizing the Premier League?

Surely not!
In addition, Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho's feelings to media reporters are much worse than publicity.

This 'big mouth' offends people all the time, and because of this, his fame has risen steadily. Various 'residual fans' have collected their complaints into 'classic quotations' and posted them on the Internet. Many spectators gathered around.

Every so-called "classic words" must have victims, and they have become the foil of "classic quotations". You can imagine how many people hate Mourinho deeply.

When Millwall is about to meet Chelsea, many media stand up to support Millwall, which can be explained.

Some media compared the two teams and believed that Millwall was better than Chelsea. "Millwall is just a newly promoted team. The summer transfer investment did not exceed 500 million pounds, but they played second in the league. What about Chelsea? They invested nearly [-] million euros in three seasons, such a large investment, only in exchange for a result that is not much better than that of the "promoted horse"..."

"Chelsea have always played very utilitarian! They have such a luxurious lineup, but they play ugly football! Even Millwall's football is much better than theirs!"

"It wouldn't be a surprise if Millwall beat Chelsea! Because Millwall beat Manchester United and Manchester United beat Chelsea!"

"..."

The media reports made Zhang Yang feel very comfortable.

From the beginning of the season to the present, Millwall has faced many opponents, but it is the first time that he has received so much support.

In the English football circle, Zhang Yang's reputation is very average, and it cannot be said how bad it is. The overall situation is definitely not positive, but compared to Mourinho, who is about to become the "Public Enemy of English Football", his reputation is much better.

When there is such multimedia support, Chelsea feels like becoming a big villain boss.

Millwall became the warrior who challenged the BOSS.

When the Warriors and the BOSS were dueling, a large crowd of spectators waved their arms and shouted cheers for the Warriors.

This feeling... is actually quite good!
