Millwall first defeated Blackburn 3-1, then swept Manchester City 0-5 away, winning easily in both leagues, making a good start to the new season.

After the game, the media turned their attention back and began to frequently report on Millwall, praising Millwall's performance and Millwall's players' performance. Perhaps another important reason is that the Community Shield is about to begin.

Millwall is going to compete with Chelsea for the championship.

Chelsea has always been the focus of summer transfers. Although Mikel and Ashley Cole have not yet confirmed to join, there have been stars such as Barack and Shepchenko, making Chelsea's lineup even more gorgeous.

However, Chelsea's lineup was gorgeous, but its performance did not keep up. Chelsea's second round of the league was poor, losing 1-2 to Middlesbrough away. Apart from Shepchenko helping Chelsea score, their performance was nothing to talk about.

After the game, except for Shepchenko's eight-point score, the other players' scores were very low, with Lampard's core team only five points, and Terry's defensive pillar only four points.

Before playing against Millwall, Chelsea made such a result and was a little pessimistic before the game, but no matter what the two teams are in, as a competitor in the league, the confrontation between the two teams will definitely attract a lot of attention.

This is the third time Chelsea and Millwall have met this year.

The two matches between Chelsea and Millwall last season happened month after January. The frequent matches between the two teams may have made the game look a lot, but after a summer transfer, both teams have undergone a lot of changes. Many media and fans believe that we can see from the game the changes in the strength of the two teams and the real preparations.

This will definitely be a big battle.

Zhang Yang did not have the "fatigue" of the game against Chelsea. Every time he fought with Mourinho's team, the team would feel very interesting and they would be full of fighting spirit.

Chelsea!

In recent seasons, Chelsea has represented the highest level of the Premier League. The feeling of beating Chelsea gives the team is like conquering the Premier League.

The media is also happy to see a war begin.

Before the game, various media began to build momentum for the game, and the banner that helped both sides put forward was to ‘help establish dominance’.

In the past two seasons, Chelsea's league performance has been dominant, and even Manchester United cannot compete with it. Naturally, they can be said to have a "dominant position" in the Premier League.

Millwall challenged Chelsea's 'dominance', took away the Premier League championship strongly, and defeated Chelsea twice in a row, so Millwall had a 'dominance'.

The game is the battle between the two teams for "dominance".

"We all know that Mourinho is a strong head coach. He hopes to ensure dominance in the league and hopes to lead the team to the championship in a row. But Mirwall challenged Chelsea's position. Chelsea performed poorly in the last round. They must re-determine the dominance of the league by defeating Mirwall!"

"Milwall is the defending champion. Whether it can continue to be excellent this season is an important highlight. If they want to get good results, they still have to face the 'old opponent' Chelsea, but it is hard to say how many points they have to win against Chelsea..."

Most British media are still optimistic about Chelsea because Chelsea's lineup is more gorgeous, especially after Shepchenko and Barack joined, Chelsea's lineup has reached the "cosmic level".

Millwall is much worse.

Although they introduced stars such as Pire, Zanbrotta, and the original team's lineup is also good, compared with Chelsea, there is nothing to talk about.

"Chelsea will definitely beat Millwall, this is not last season!"

Many media have made similar remarks.

Chelsea also held in a hurry to defeat Millwall in the Community Shield. For them, defeating Millwall is more tempting than winning the Community Shield. After losing to Millwall twice last season and losing the league championship, Millwall has become their biggest opponent and mortal enemy.

Chelsea President Abramovich is also very concerned about the game. The thing that makes the Russians most satisfied this summer is that Shepchenko successfully joins Chelsea.

He doesn't care about other stars, such as Barak, Kalu, etc.

The German captain, in his ears, is no different from the striker of Côte d'Ivoire. Anyway, they are all players with some fame.

Shepchenko is the only important one. He is the most famous star in Ukraine. He almost led Ukraine to the World Cup alone. With Shepchenko joining and Chelsea's original team who was enough to win the championship, Chelsea's lineup is already perfect.

Shepchenko is Abramovich's friend. Shepchenko's wife and Abramovich's wife are also best friends. After joining Chelsea, Abramovich often invites Shepchenko to have dinner. While maintaining friendship, she will also care about the adaptation of Shepchenko's team.

Chelsea's loss in the second round did not affect Abramovich's mood, because Shepchenko scored goals in the game. As Shepchenko scored more and more goals, Chelsea will definitely perform better and better.

Chelsea's season goal has been to achieve the Grand Slam of the domestic league, cup and UEFA Champions League championships.

So, Millwall?

That young Chinese is good and will have a promising future. Perhaps his coaching ability is no worse than Jose (Murinho), but Mirwall is just Mirwall, a newly rising small club. No one can lead it, and it is impossible for him to always defeat the powerful Chelsea.

Abramovich was very sure of his judgment, and he also gave Mourinho a notice of 'must win', "I will go to watch the game live and sit with Mirwall's chairman Mossad." He did not talk about the victory or defeat of the game, but watching the game at Millennium Stadium and sitting with the opponent's chairman have explained all the issues.

Abramovich is the person who cares about face the most. Perhaps after becoming the world's top rich man, "face" has become one of the only things that can be pursued.

This is much more important than money.

So Chelsea must win, and must win, otherwise Abramovich will definitely be very unhappy, but when the Russians are unhappy, others will not be able to have a good time.

The first person to bear the brunt will definitely be the head coach. Mourinho knows that the game is related to his coach position. If he continues to lose to Mirwall, he will be very close to the "stable coach position".

———

Millwall became Chelsea's heart.

Last season, he lost to Mirwall twice in the league, and the league competition was also lost to Mirwall. Not only Abramovich hopes that the team can win, but Mourinho and Chelsea players all hope to defeat Mirwall.

Mourinho showed a confident look to the outside world. When interviewed by reporters, he said, "Chelsea is stronger now than before. Maybe we have not yet played in form (losed to Middlesbrough in the second round), but there is no doubt about winning Millwall."

But in fact, Mourinho is more worried than anyone else.

Mourinho is not worried about the "stable coach position" of losing the game, but is really worried about the game. His views are completely opposite to Abramovich. Abramovich believes that the team's lineup is perfect, but he thinks it is worse than last season.

The only good news among summer signings is Barack's joining.

Mourinho attaches great importance to Barack. He believes that the arrival of the German captain is a real supplement to Chelsea's strength.

But that's all.

Abramovich values ​​Shepchenko, but Mourinho does not think Shepchenko is a necessary player. Ukrainian stars cannot even catch up with Crespo - the Argentine at least obeys the command and will not cause locker room problems or challenge his authority. Shepchenko is different. The latter has a good personal relationship with Abramovich, and he must reuse his appearance even if he is in a bad state.

As for the goals in the first two rounds, Mourinho didn't take them seriously.

As a forward shooter, with Chelsea's strong midfield support, what's so strange about being able to score goals against two weak teams?

Mourinho does not think that Shepchenko has adapted to the team, because Chelsea has not really experienced a big battle yet. When they really meet a contending opponent, it is hard to say what kind of performance Shepchenko will perform.

The team's transfer also has big problems.

Damien Duff applied to leave himself. Mourinho originally planned to let Duff stay in the team and continue to play well for the team, but the latter was obviously unwilling to play too little.

Good Johnson left, too.

Good Johnson's departure was directly related to Shepchenko. Because of Shepchenko's joining, Good Johnson was forced to "abandon the seat". He was originally the second striker on the front line except Drogba, but he had to leave and join other teams-

Barcelona!

Just look at the team that Good Johnson joins and you will understand his value.

In addition, the team has internal problems.

Lampard, Terry and other players, affected by participating in the World Cup, did not adjust their condition at the beginning of the season. In fact, it was just a small problem. Give them some time to make adjustments. It would be a big problem to tear Galas and the club apart from the defense.

During the pre-match preparations, Galas not only refused to participate in the US Tour, but also felt that he played for the team in the first two rounds. In other words, he was determined to leave Chelsea.

Mourinho has considered exchanging Galas and Arsenal for Ashley Cole whom he wants to get. Faced with such a player who is determined to leave, no head coach can do anything.

Millwall is all good news in these aspects.

Mirwall's transfer is not as grand as Chelsea, but they all get the players they want. Quaresma and Pire are all those Mourinho love and want to sign, while Zambrota is something Mourinho dares not imagine. The latter is Juventus' main player. If there is Zambrota in the defense, Galas' departure will not have any impact.

Millwall has really strengthened her strength and is very united inside. The main players were there last season. During the preparations for the season, it was revealed that they used the "dual core" tactics. Looking at the first two rounds of the league, Millwall performed very well.

This may also be related to the few players participating in the World Cup in Millwall.

Most of Millwall's core players did not participate in the World Cup?

Whenever I want this question, Mourinho is very envious. For a club head coach, he will undoubtedly envy the teams in the same level who are not affected by the national team. Millwall is such a team. Sometimes Mourinho even thinks, "Why didn't I fall for Erikson? Maybe Lampard and Terry will be excluded from the England team at that time?"

Of course, just think about it.

Even if his relationship with Erikson is a bit bad, Lampard and Terry will definitely join the national team, otherwise the FA and English fans will never agree.

The above questions can be summarized as Millwall has improved while Chelsea has declined to a certain extent.

One rises and the other falls.
Chapter completed!
