Chapter 275 Millwall and Chelsea

Chelsea was the Premier League champion last season.

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

After twenty rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea scored almost perfect results. They scored fifty-five points, lost only five points, and lost one game to Manchester United.

The Christmas war is a critical time.

Many media are looking forward to Chelsea's performance decline, leaving opportunities for the teams behind them, otherwise there would be no suspense in the Premier League championship.

Chelsea's opponents are also very difficult to deal with.

The first game after Christmas was a big battle with Arsenal, followed by a battle with Fulham, and then Manchester City, which was not easy to deal with. It was so difficult to play in three consecutive games. Chelsea would lose some points, right?

The media were disappointed.

Chelsea first easily defeated the home team Arsenal with two away goals, and then defeated their arch-rival Fulham 3-2 at home, and they struggled to defeat their arch-rival Fulham in the last round. In the last round of away matches, Manchester City also won with one goal. In the three games, except for the harder match against Fulham, the other two games were scored early, and there was no suspense to win.

The British media are not stingy in giving praise to Chelsea, and Chelsea's perfect performance cannot criticize it. In the media's reports on Chelsea, they are happy to talk about Chelsea's players.

The most core player in Chelsea is Frank Lampard, and the data alone is enough to illustrate the problem: Lampard is the player with the most games in Chelsea. He has played all the games in the Chelsea League and is also known as the "Iron Man" in the Premier League.

In addition, Lampard scored eleven goals in various competitions, and was the player with the most goals. He also scored the most assists. He has already had thirteen assists. His passes, accuracy, number of shots, number of yellow cards that his opponents get, etc. are the first in Chelsea team. From these numbers, we can also summarize that Chelsea is Lampard's team. He is the real king of all abilities. He has maintained stable performance in so many games and has made such outstanding contributions in all statistics. Even if he finds all over the European football world, it is really rare.

In Chelsea, in addition to Lampard's accident, Robben, Drogba, Marklelai and others also performed well, excluding absolute main players, such as Good Johnson, Bridge, and Kezhman, who are on the edge of the main and substitutes, their performance is also very stable.

This is the real terrifying place for Chelsea.

Their absolute main players performed very well. The bench players who played fewer times had no bad performance every time they played, which shows that Chelsea's overall lineup was flawless. Even if the main players were injured, their performance would not be affected.

Chelsea's best performance in the last three rounds is Joe Cole.

Joe Cole was a little famous before, but he was still a little worse than Lampard, Drogba and others. His performance in recent times has made him the hottest player at Chelsea.

"Joe Cole is my best attacker right now!" Mourinho once said this after defeating Fulham 3-2. Joe Cole gave a winning assist in the game, which was also the assist that helped Chelsea defeat Fulham in a difficult situation.

After the game, Joe Cole was named the best in the game.

"Joe Cole is untouchable right now," Mourinho said. "He is so outstanding in every aspect of the game tonight. He played two games in three days, but from his physical condition, he was a little surprised. Cole is strong and can still control the ball under pressure from his opponent. He is excellent one-on-one, has a tremendous desire for goals, and his performance is incredible. He is such an excellent player."

It wasn't a good performance for Joe Cole.

Joe Cole made key contributions to three consecutive league rounds after Christmas. He scored a goal to secure the victory against Arsenal, and his wonderful pass to Fulham assisted Crespo to score the winning goal. In the last round of the match with Manchester City, he took away three points with one finale.

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

Lampard received a well-paid contract last season, and Chelsea is now preparing to commend Joe Cole.

Joe Cole is very loyal. In an interview with reporters, he said that he was focusing on the court and the renewal negotiations were "not in a hurry". "I want to stay at Chelsea, but it is still mid-season, and I don't want the contract to interfere with me. I am the kind of person who must concentrate on the game, but the club has already stated that they want to keep me, so we will sit down and talk in the summer, hoping that everything will be resolved smoothly by then."

"I had a great 2005, I played a lot of games, I was happy with everything going forward, of course, for the next six months, I couldn't rest assured that I had to play for Chelsea and perform well. This was the first place."

In three Christmas games, Joe Cole scored two goals and assisted once, and the data is the best Chelsea recent. The sports page of the Times praised Joe Cole, "He is using numbers to explain the meaning of "Chelsea's best attacker at the moment"!"

After a few glances at the media reports, you can see praise for Chelsea everywhere.

But does the media really praise Chelsea?

Perhaps some Blues support the media are sincerely happy that Chelsea performs well, and some neutral media are just showing some praise for their praise when they see Chelsea performing well, but a large part of the media are not sincere.

Most British media have no reason to support Chelsea.

The UK is a very magical football country. The various media support the team and the geographical division is very clear. It is almost impossible to support the team in the north. In the south, even if it is limited to the London region, the media are divided into several camps. Except for a few media in the central and western London, media in other places will only support the team in their own regions.

The above is about ‘regional, small media’.

When a media's influence expands, the regions that "influence" also expand, but they still have a regional tendency. For example, the London media will support London's team, the representative one is the Times; the Manchester media will support Manchester's team, the representative one is the Manchester Sports newspaper, and other major media also support them.

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

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

For example, Millwall has been criticized. When the team performs poorly, negative analysis will come in the news. There are many reasons, but two reasons are very important: First, Millwall performed too well. When a newly promoted team shows strength, it will be praised by many media. But if the performance is better than the giant team, you will have to face a series of difficulties.

The second is to Zhang Yang himself.

Millwall performed so well that the team led the team was actually a young man in his early twenties. If it were an Englishman, the British media would definitely praise him. Chinese? Will that country in the football desert produce any top coaches?

The media will not admit it is 'racism', they believe it is a necessary means of questioning.

Chelsea's situation is even worse than Millwall.

Chelsea's performance is ridiculous. After twenty rounds of the league, they only lost five points. If Chelsea continues to perform well, the ownership of the Premier League championship will be determined early. Isn't it equivalent to monopolizing the Premier League?

This certainly won't work!

In addition, the feelings that Portugal coach Jose Mourinho gave to media reporters are much worse than Zhang Yang.

This "big mouth" is not offending people all the time, and his fame has increased rapidly because of this. Various "remnants" have turned the complaints into "classic quotes" and after they were posted on the Internet, they were watched by many viewers.

Every so-called "classic words" will inevitably have victims. They become the foil of "classic quotes", so you can imagine how many people hate Mourinho deeply.

When Millwall is about to meet Chelsea, many media outlets come forward to support Millwall, it can be explained.

Some media compared the two teams and believed that Millwall was better than Chelsea. "Milwall is just a promoted team, and the summer transfer investment is no more than 5 million pounds, but they scored second in the league. What about Chelsea? Their investment in three seasons is nearly 300 million euros. Such a large investment is only exchanged for results that are not much better than the "renewal team"..."

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

"It's not surprising if Millwall can 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 now, Millwall has met many opponents, but this is the first time I have received so much support.

In the English football circle, Zhang Yang's reputation is very average. You can't talk about how bad it is. Overall, it 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 so multimedia support, Chelsea feels like becoming a villain boss.

Millwall became the warrior who challenged the boss.

When the Warriors and the BOSS were in a duel, a large group of spectators waved their arms and shouted to cheer for the Warriors.
