"The 21st round of the league, Millwall defeated Chelsea at home and officially entered the championship ranks with all three points!"

"Now we can say for sure that Millwall has hope of competing for the league title!"

"Milwall showed extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit. When he was one goal behind, he scored three goals in a row to overtake. After the game, they were only three points away from Chelsea. If they continued to perform, they were expected to surpass them!"

"Maybe Millwall can become the fifth Premier League champion team!"

“…”

After the game, Millwall's performance was recognized, and many media commentators made similar voices.

This is very rare.

Before Millwall played against Chelsea at home, they were already second in the league, six points away from Chelsea, five more points than Manchester United, who was third. Such a good result was not considered "there is hope for winning the championship". More people just regard "Milwall is expected to win the championship" as a joke.

It's different now.

In the head-on collision with Chelsea, Millwall showed his tenacious fighting spirit, unyielding spirit and active will to win. Many media and fans were moved by the "miracle" of scoring three consecutive goals in the second half.

Facing Chelsea's solid defense, which team can score three goals in a row in more than ten minutes? Perhaps most teams will hesitate to continue to attack after tying the score or overtaking, and they will not even have an enterprising spirit.

Millwall did it.

The players on the court have been fighting hard, and the head coach Zhang Yang calmly adjusts and commands, and the whole team works together to create a miracle of three consecutive goals.

That is a rare "spirit".

The league has been held for twenty-one rounds, including this game, Millwall is only three points away from Chelsea, and her stable performance is also one of the reasons for being affirmed. Many media have characterized Millwall as a "team that has the possibility of winning the championship", which also represents a certain degree of recognition.

The Premier League is an open league and one of the world's top events. The FA boasts the Premier League as "the most competitive" and the most open world". However, in the history of the Premier League for more than ten years, the league championship has been seriously monopolized.

Manchester United is the dominant team for the league champions.

In the past decade, when it comes to the 'Premier Championship', Manchester United must be talked about. The only thing that can compete with Manchester United is Arsenal led by Frenchman Wenger.

In 1995, Blackburn emerged as a new champion and won a league championship.

That was the only time in more than a decade. Perhaps Blackburn fans recalled that other teams had no chance after decades. Last season, another team broke the monopoly, that is, Chelsea, which is the strong rise of the "Rubber Offensive".

Looking back at the history of the Premier League, you can see that the Premier League is called an "open league" and the competition is very fierce, but there are very few teams qualified to compete for the championship.

From the beginning of the season, the championship was almost fixed.

Only three teams have the hope of winning the championship, one is the defending champion Chelsea, one is the overlord Manchester United, and the other is Arsenal, who has performed well "from time to time".

Other teams basically have no chance.

The ranking of more than half of the season is enough to prove that the media and fans' judgment is correct. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are all ranked in the top four, with only one more newly promoted Millwall in the middle.

Millwall has never been recognized.

Charlton is Millwall's "Brother in Trouble". The results of both teams have improved all the way, even under Manchester United and Arsenal. However, Millwall and Charlton are just small clubs. The small club's performance was good in the previous period, and it was difficult for them to last the whole season.

This is not a conclusion, but a historical law.

When the league entered the intensive period around Christmas, Charlton fell behind in "respecting history". Their points were quickly overtaken by Manchester United and Arsenal, and only Millwall was left next.

Millwall performed better than Charlton and performed more 'tennisciently'. No media dared to say directly that Millwall would fall behind quickly, and the intensive Christmas schedule was about to pass, and Millwall still maintained excellent results.

In the judgment of some people, the game against Chelsea will become a watershed in Millwall's results.

This game is just at the end of the Christmas game and is also the 21st round of the league. If Millwall loses the game, they will be a nine-point gap with Chelsea. There is basically no hope of catching up in the future, and Manchester United will catch up with three-pointers. The remaining two-point gap is just a game.

This will be a watershed game!

No one expected that Millwall actually won the game. At this point, many media truly admitted that Millwall is a team with the ability to compete for the championship.

Not only the media, but everyone sees it.

After the game, Millwall fans were talking about whether the team could compete for the league championship, which was simply unimaginable before--

"We all won Chelsea! Maybe we have a chance to win the championship, too!"

"The Premier League champion...is very difficult!"

"What are you afraid of? If you defeat them in the end, our points will be the same! As long as you perform well in the future, you will definitely have a chance!"

"It's impossible for Chelsea to win the whole season, right?"

"It depends on how much Zhang Yang can lead the team. But I believe Zhang Yang, do you still remember this time last season? We are just in the middle of the English Championship, but we won the English Championship at the end of the season!"

"No matter whether I can win the championship or not, I am very satisfied with the team's results!"

“…”

Millwall players are also discussing that Zhang Yang has never set his season goals, but with the team's situation, there is hope for winning the championship. Beating Chelsea head-on has greatly increased the confidence of the whole team, and many players have begun to look forward to the championship.

"We went halfway through the season last season and won the championship at the end of the season. Now we are the second in the league, why can't we win the championship?"

———

After the game, Zhang Yang welcomed the players who came out and gave everyone a compliment, "Good job!"

"great!"

"You are the hero of victory!"

"I believe that everyone will remember you after this battle!"

The last sentence was given to Vardy. Vardy scored two goals in his own personal score and was a great contributor to the team's victory. He was considered the "best player" after only 45 minutes of appearance. Such performance overwhelmed everyone on the court.

In fact, during the game, many fans took the initiative to search for Vardy's information-

"Who is this young player?"

"Vardy? Why haven't you heard of it before! He can actually score two goals!"

"Playing in the eighth league last season? It's so interesting! He must be a genius! Even if he doesn't have much fame now, he will be a big star in the future!"

“Vardy is so great!”

"I will be his fan from now on!"

“…”

The focus of fans is.

Many media are also preparing to report an article "Vardy's exclusive interview". Many reporters have been sharpening their knives in the mixed area, waiting for Vardy to go over and conduct a slaughter-kill interview.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with Vardy's performance and would not be stingy to make him famous. He also took the initiative to say, "Accepting more interviews will be very useful to you. But don't believe what the media said, you should continue to work hard!"

Afterwards, Zhang Yang shook hands with Mourinho.

This is a handshake in etiquette. When it comes to Zhang Yang and Mourinho, it really becomes a "form". Both of them stood under the camera lens, and they just stretched out their hands symbolically. Without even touching their fingers, they turned around and walked away.

Mourinho went to the press conference.

Zhang Yang wanted to go back to the locker room to celebrate the victory with the players.

The two of them intentionally staggered each other.

If they appear at the press conference at the same time, no matter what the situation is, they will become the target of media hype, which will not be beneficial to both parties, and it is still necessary to stagger the interview.

Mourinho was not in a good mood when facing media reporters because Chelsea lost the game.

Mourinho knew the reason for the loss: one is that Mirwall did perform well, and the other is that during the game, the whole Chelsea team was unstable and was stunned by the continuous goals. Their subsequent performance was really bad.

However, Mourinho has always been a person who is 'not giving up on his word'. Even if he knows the reason for the loss, he still has to sarcastically say, "I'm very disappointed, because most of the game, only one team is playing seriously, while the other team is just to avoid losing the ball."

"I admit that they played a good ball for more than ten minutes and also relied on these good balls for more than ten minutes to win, but the game time is relatively more."

"I heard that the tickets for this game have been sold for more than 100 pounds? If I were a Millwall fan and spent 100 pounds to support the team on the spot, but only watched the game for more than ten minutes, I would definitely be very dissatisfied..."

Mourinho's words made reporters unable to help but complain.

Will Millwall fans be disappointed?

Just look at the scene of reluctance to leave after the game, you will know how happy they are.

Mourinho knew better that Chelsea lost the game, and the protagonist would only be Mirwall. No matter what he said, he would be passive. He did not leave the reporters free time to ask questions. After expressing his disappointment in the game, he left the press conference on the grounds of "busy to go back to the club."

Before leaving, Mourinho did not forget to cause some trouble for Millwall. "They scored three goals, one was Braniff and two were scored by Valdy, but I think the best performance was Darren Bent. Our players must defend seriously, otherwise he will cause greater trouble."

"It's a pity for him to be in Millwall. If he was at Chelsea, he would partner with Didier and become the most efficient forward team in the world..."

After the game, Mourinho publicly stated that it was very rare to appreciate a player.

Chelsea’s approach is often to contact players in private or to secretly offer a club. Perhaps it is because Chelsea is too high-profile, which disrupts the European transfer market and makes many people hate their approach, which makes them so secretive.

This is their usual transfer method.

Mourinho's public poaching is really the first time he has done it. Some media reporters are also very happy. Compared with Mirwall, who has "risen in the dark horse", Chelsea is undoubtedly quite attractive, and this is especially true for a young player who has just emerged. High salary alone is enough to tempt and appeal.

The media already know what else to report besides the competition.

When Zhang Yang came to the press conference, he knew what was going on. He heard the reporters' remarks and just smiled disdainfully, "I've said a long time ago that he is the head coach with no vision. Of course, this does not mean that Darren is not outstanding, but rather is quite outstanding, but he is not good at using people. Even if there are outstanding players to go to Chelsea, so what? There are enough stars in Chelsea, but they still lose the game."

"Of course, I believe he is really optimistic about Darren." Zhang Yang changed his tone, as if he was 'helping confirmation of the news'. When the reporters in the audience were wondering, he smiled, "He is optimistic about David, and he said it before the game. I believe he is optimistic about all the outstanding players. He hopes to bring all the good players to Chelsea. Regardless of whether they can perform or not, at least they will no longer be Chelsea's opponents in the future, and then he can lead Chelsea and win the championship easily."

"I admire him very much, that's really an idea. Millwall couldn't do it. We are just a small club, and we can't compare to Chelsea with a wealth of money..."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking in one breath, the reporters under the stage looked at each other, and then they reacted and burst into laughter immediately. They all found it very interesting: Mourinho wants to buy all the outstanding players? Then Chelsea can win the championship easily?

This irony level has reached a certain level!
