Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 313 Treat me like a side dish! ?

Chelsea dressing room.

Mourinho's face was serious. The final goal made him breathe a long sigh of relief. His mood was still not very good. The half-time draw with Millwall was not an easy score.

So far in the league, Millwall's No. [-] ranking is really unbelievable.

Mourinho doesn't quite understand why Millwall's results are so good.Their lineup is in a mess, and it can't be compared with Chelsea, but their results are very good. The home defeat against Chelsea relied on a solid defense and the efficiency of the frontcourt counterattack, but that is not a manifestation of real strength. In the halftime, Chelsea easily suppressed Millwall, and the strength gap between the two sides was vividly reflected.

Such an opponent...

Mourinho has to admit that Millwall is a magical team. With an ordinary lineup, they can achieve such results. At Stamford Bridge, they can also take the lead in scoring goals.

That was Maniche's mistake.

But Maniche made a mistake in the frontcourt. Even if the opponent was given a chance to counterattack, there would usually be no problems. However, the opponent relied on this opportunity to break through Chelsea's goal.

"It's really... we can't give them any chance!"

Mourinho sighed.

No matter how efficient Millwall is, where their strength lies, Chelsea's half-time draw is definitely not a good score.

Crespo was in an even worse mood.

The Argentine returned to the room with a stern face, and then sat in the corner with his head sullen. Others did not speak when they saw Crespo. Lampard and Crespo are very familiar. He is a good old man of the team. You can tell what's going on with him just by looking at his face. Lampard comforted him, "Maybe it's tactical. It's hard to say what the boss thinks."

Crespo raised his head and thanked him, then sighed, "Frank, you should know that he doesn't like me. Every time something happens, it seems to be my fault. I know the reason for being replaced, because I passed on Gave it to Maniche, and then he made a mistake..." He smiled wryly as he said that, what kind of mistake could that be?Shouldn't you cooperate with your teammates?Isn't the coach letting Maniche play just to let him adapt quickly?
Lampard gave a wry smile after hearing this.

Of course he knew what Crespo said, but so what?Everyone in the team knows that Mourinho doesn't like Crespo. Even if Crespo performed well, he still continued to serve as a substitute. He was also loaned to AC Milan last season.

With the departure of Kezhiman, Crespo should have partnered with Drogba as the main striker, but after only ten rounds of the season, Robben and Joe Cole began to play forward in turn. Under Chelsea's 433 formation, Crespo's appearances were severely limited.

In the first half, Crespo was inexplicably replaced. The reason must have been the pass. It was Maniche's mistake, but Crespo was implicated. It was a bit wronged.

These made Lampard somewhat dissatisfied with Mourinho.

Mourinho is an excellent head coach who can lead the team to continuous victories. The team also has absolute majesty and forcibly suppressed the conflicts in the locker room. But who caused the biggest conflict in the locker room at present?His paranoia of using players is the most important reason, and it also makes many players dissatisfied, and there are many conflicts in the locker room.

Last summer, Damien Duff, Kezhiman, Scott Parker and others all chose to leave one after another.

The outside world said that it was because of the fierce internal competition in Chelsea. Every summer, several stars were introduced, which made the competition more intense. Most players did not have a stable number of appearances, but most people in the team knew that the important reason for their departure was still Dissatisfied with Mourinho because players who performed poorly can get more playing time than them.

This creates injustice.

The so-called 'Mourinho faction' also comes from this, and it makes sense for them to be squeezed out by other players.

Lampard's exclamation didn't work. He couldn't change Mourinho's mind, so he could only feel sorry for Crespo, and he couldn't do anything else.

Fortunately, Lampard himself does not have to worry about position.

According to rumors, Chelsea will introduce the German captain Ballack, whether it is true or not, even if Ballack comes to Chelsea, it will not affect his appearance.

He, Frank Lampard, is Chelsea's most important midfielder, and he will not be affected by whoever comes and goes in the future.

This is self-confidence that comes from ability.

During the intermission, Mourinho did not talk about the first half, but directly talked about the second half. Like Millwall, Chelsea's overall style of play has not changed. The Portuguese just emphasized some small details. There is also the issue of offensive initiation.

In the first half, Chelsea's oppressive attack played well, but at the beginning there was no improvement on the wing, and then it was a bit out of shape when it came to the goal. Even if it scored a goal at the last time, it could not cover up the problems in the attack.

In terms of some offensive details, Mourinho reminded all the players, and then talked about defense, "Be sure to pay attention, don't give the opponent any chance! Be optimistic about Darren Bent, their counterattacks rely on Darren Bent !"

Mourinho emphasized the focus on defending Darren Bent.

Darren Bent can get Mourinho's emphasis on the key points of the team, which can be regarded as a certain degree of recognition.

Chelsea seldom target a single opponent player. Even in the match against Manchester United, Mourinho only mentioned the defense against Van Nistelrooy. The ability is indeed good, but compared to the level of Chelsea players, it is actually nothing.

Like C-Ronaldo, Makelele's close defense will make him feel miserable, and it becomes extremely difficult to perform.

Darren Bent is a bit different, perhaps thanks to Millwall's tactics. He is the only player who stays in front. As long as he focuses on defending, he can limit Millwall's counterattack.

----

At the beginning of the second half, Millwall played a wonderful offensive. After four passes, the football was quickly passed to the front of the penalty area. After that, Morris made a cold shot, and the football flew one meter away from the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Chelsea was frightened into a cold sweat.

The second half of the game has just started. Most people think that the game will be controlled by Chelsea, and only Chelsea can threaten the goal. Unexpectedly, Millwall will be the first to play a threatening offensive.

Chelsea's defense was a bit overwhelmed.

Mourinho took a long breath when he saw that the goal was missed. This was Millwall's 'sneak attack'. No one would have thought that Millwall would suddenly launch a fast break. Fortunately, the goal was not completed in the end.

Next, Chelsea launched an attack, but they seemed to be frightened by the danger just now. They played very carefully. The football was passed nearly ten times in the midfield before Lampard kicked it forward and officially launched a campaign against the penalty area. offensive.

Chelsea's pressing offensive was very extreme. They used their strong strength to hold Millwall in the half, and at the same time they used fierce pressing to block Millwall's counterattack opportunity.

This style of play is quite bullying!
Chelsea is relying on absolute strength to advance steadily, using the overall strength of the team and the advantages of the players' personal abilities generally stronger than Millwall's to complete the halftime suppression.

Millwall's defense is fairly solid, and it is not easy for Chelsea to find threatening opportunities in a short time.

Millwall became targeted in the second half.

Before Millwall was suppressed in halftime, it was very difficult to attack. Zhang Yang summed up the problems in the first half and asked the players not to do anything impatiently, but try to calm down as much as possible.

Every player is also working hard. When they get the ball, they start to try to pass the ball forward instead of clearing with a big foot. While kicking the ball out of the dangerous range, they also increase some coordination.

The media and fans at the scene noticed that Millwall occasionally fought back.

This situation is surprising.

In fact, Chelsea’s choice of suppressing play is also a last resort. During the intermission, some football commentators analyzed, “Chelsea is trying not to give Millwall any chances, or in other words, reduce the number of times they have effective attacks. , Millwall's offensive efficiency is too high."

"In the past leagues, a lot of data prove this. Millwall's offensive efficiency, single player's shooting and scoring efficiency are all higher than other teams."

"It's like Darren Bent, one chance and he turns it into a goal."

"Facing this kind of opponent, even though they have an absolute advantage in strength, they still have to try not to give any chances. So Chelsea chose to suppress the play, just to let the Millwall formation retreat to the level of 'no threat', even if they To get the ball, you can only rely on the individual performance of the frontcourt players, rather than the overall cooperation, advancement, or quick counterattack..."

Many people are amazed by Millwall's efficiency. They can't understand why Millwall's efficiency is so high.

In addition, Zhang Yang, a young man in his early twenties, how did he lead an ordinary newly promoted horse to the first place in the league?And how did ordinary tactics become killers, and some extremely passive games could turn defeat into victory?
These are surprising.

Of course they don't know that Zhang Yang has a 'supernatural ability', and if he uses it well in a game, he can help the team score a goal. A goal in a football game is too important. Millwall will naturally improve the efficiency of the frontcourt and Win more games.

Millwall's tactical advantage still comes from "Speaking Spiritual Calculation", which can formulate the most suitable tactics for the lineup. In the process of not planning to use "Speaking Spiritual Calculation", Zhang Yang needs to constantly analyze and change the target Therefore, the individual's tactical ability has also been greatly improved.

The tactics Millwall is using now are the most suitable for dealing with Chelsea.

As long as the team can perform normally, each player's game mentality can become better. Chelsea can rely on the strength of the lineup to play an advantage, but it is absolutely impossible to limit Millwall's counterattack.

When Millwall played several consecutive counterattacks, Chelsea also felt a little tricky.

Chelsea's way to limit Millwall is to use the full-court press to limit the football to Millwall's half-court. Forcibly aggressively attacking Millwall has to shrink the formation.

The effect of this method is limited, and Chelsea's defense is a bit dangerous, because they have sacrificed the backcourt defense first, and Chelsea are a little uncomfortable playing. Whenever they attack, they have to worry about defending the backcourt. Pay attention Whether it is possible for the opponent to complete the steal, thereby directly threatening one's own goal.

This scruple also affected Chelsea's performance.

sidelines.

Mourinho looked at the game and found it very strange. Chelsea's strength is much stronger, and they have an absolute advantage in the lineup. They still play a targeted style of play. The venue of the game is Stamford Bridge.

Now Millwall can often attack?
Mourinho had to admit that Millwall was more difficult to deal with than the last encounter.

In fact, Millwall has been improving.

Millwall has never participated in the Premier League. Most of the players in the team have no experience in the top league. Among the core players, except for a few such as Jody Morris and Smicer, the others are still young rookies. They are inexperienced, but their growth is very fast. After gradually adapting to more games, they all have considerable growth, and Millwall will naturally become stronger.

Millwall during Christmas is not the same team as it was at the start of the season; now Millwall is not the same team as it was at Christmas. As Millwall progresses, their level of strength gradually catches up. , you must not look at it from the perspective of a 'promoted horse'.

Millwall ranks first in the league, and its overall strength definitely surpasses the middle reaches of the Premier League.

Although it cannot be compared with Chelsea, as long as there is a normal performance, Chelsea cannot completely suppress it. It is almost impossible for them to use their absolute strength to prevent Millwall from having a chance.

Mourinho realized this, he could no longer sit still, but walked to the sidelines to watch the game at a closer distance, and his brows frowned.

The game got a little out of hand!
----

In fact, the dominant side is still Chelsea.

Millwall played a few decent counterattacks and did not pose any direct threat to Chelsea. As they played, the game became exciting. No one wants to see a 'no suspense game'. Both sides attack each other. Keeping it will make the game more exciting.

As time passed, the competition intensified.

Chelsea is still in an advantage. Their ball possession time, number of passes and receptions, threatening passes, shots, etc. are much higher than Millwall, but Millwall is not helpless. Several quick attacks continuously threatened Chelsea's goal.

In the No. 701 minute of the game, Millwall launched a wave of fast breaks.

Braniff cooperated with Jody Morris and Smicer = sent the ball 30 meters in front of the goal.

Chelsea tensed up immediately.

In fact, at the beginning, when the football was passed to this position, Chelsea would not be too worried, because Chelsea is one of the best defensive teams in the world, so naturally they would not concede the ball easily, but a goal by Millwall, and then Including the previous continuous threats, the players and fans on the field changed their minds. When the football reached their own penalty area, they began to become nervous.

From the perspective of the auditorium, it can be seen clearly.

Millwall's formation is only a small pressure, but the two full-backs plus central midfielders, midfielders and forward players have all entered Chelsea's half, and they have surrounded the penalty area.

At this point the football was handed over to Braniff.

Braniff is a left midfielder, and he is facing Makelele and Gremi. Makelele is helping to defend the center. Braniff takes a step forward, and Gremi rushes over.

Braniff did not pass the ball immediately, and Gremi did not make a move, but chose to defend him closely.

Gremi didn't pay much attention to Braniff. At the beginning of the season, there were still a lot of media manipulating Braniff. After Christmas, Braniff disappeared from the public eye. It's not because he didn't perform well. , but Darren Bent is too dazzling, covering up the light he exudes.

So far, Braniff still ranks second in Millwall's goals scored and seventh in the league's top scorer list.

This halo doesn't have much effect on Graeme.

Gremi is just an ordinary Chelsea player, but in English football, he is much more famous than Braniff. With his outstanding performance, he is regarded as the "main substitute" in the midfield.

Chelsea's substitute is no worse than Millwall's main force. Especially in terms of defensive experience, Gremi is quite confident. In the Premier League, there are not many opponents who can get rid of him head-on.

Gremi is close to Braniff, ready to tackle at any moment, and also keeps an eye out for possible passes from Braniff.

Braniff thinks differently.

If other forwards, even Darren Bent, faced an experienced backcourt like Gremi, they would definitely choose to cooperate with their teammates. Braniff has held back the whole game, and the team has been passively defending. , he has almost no chance of performance.

Now's your chance... to pass the ball?
How can it be!

"The performance that shocks everyone starts with you!" That's what Braniff thought. He never considered passing the ball, but directly chose to break through.

Sure enough, simply!
Braniff threw the ball to the left, and immediately burst into speed to forcefully overtake.

At that moment Graeme was a little dazed.

Gremi did not expect that Braniff was so decisive that he did not stop in the middle of the action. In other words, the opponent did not hesitate at all, and directly chose to break through.

Gremi was instantly furious.

"When I'm a side dish? Don't you take me seriously?" The momentary anger couldn't cover up the stiffness of his body movements. Gremi couldn't react immediately. When Braniff broke out, he wanted to restrict It was already too late, so I could only chase desperately, but I was still pulled down by a position.

The two quickly ran forward on the sidewalk.

Braniff rushed forward with the ball and tried his best to get rid of Gremi, but the latter was not easy to get rid of. When he was about ten meters away from the baseline, he could only slow down and protect the ball with his body , glanced at the middle road.

Braniff is going to pass the ball!

Gremi made this judgment at the first time, and immediately stretched out his right foot, laying across the passing path towards the middle.

But Braniff only stopped for a moment, and continued to sprint forward!

Graeme has been tricked!
When Gremi realized that he had been cheated again, he suddenly became extremely annoyed, but after making the move, there was nothing he could do to catch up. He could almost just watch Braniff stop the ball calmly, and then swung his right Pass the foot to the middle.

The football flew more than ten meters and rushed to the front of the small penalty area.

"nice shot!"

"Braniff!"

"Look at this ball!"

"..."

With the sound of exclamation, everyone's attention was placed in front of Chelsea.

The football was sent to the wicket line!
Several players followed, including Chelsea players and Millwall players. Makelele couldn't touch the first point, and Terry could only watch the ball roll by after that.

And then... Morris!

"Danger--!"

"Chance!"

The two voices represented two attitudes, but the voices could not stop things from happening. Morris squeezed Lampard and rushed over, raised his right foot and gave the ball a light push--
The football turns around and flies into the goal!

1 is better than 2!

As a guest at Stamford Bridge, Millwall re-leaded the home team Chelsea!
