The Young Lion

After years of fatigue accumulation, Irving's body became extremely fragile when he was in the golden age of a player. Not only did the frequency of injuries begin to increase, but his physical quality also tended to decline. In the second half of the game, his explosive power The decline is obvious, which is why Aldridge dared to remove a central defender.

When Millwall piled up four offensive players on the front line, Liverpool's defense must retreat deeper and invest more defensive forces.

However, Millwall's forwards did not directly enter the penalty area to take a position. Instead, they wandered around the perimeter of the penalty area, forming a numerical advantage outside the penalty area, and then launched an offensive with the threat of a sudden advance at a certain point.

After Villa came on the field, he conveyed the coaching staff's on-the-spot arrangement to his teammates, especially Henry and Ronaldo on the front line. Ronaldinho himself would not force the front line.

When the Liverpool back line involuntarily pressed out in the 83rd minute, reducing Millwall's possession advantage in front of their box, Millwall suddenly played a deep attack.

Ronaldinho crossed directly behind the defender on the left. Carragher and Hyypia originally marked Henry and Villa. Because Henry and Villa didn't start forward, they didn't start the explosion at the first time. However, later Harman on the waistline failed to withstand Nedved's forward impact!

Under the guise of the entire striker line, Millwall's final offensive center of gravity is actually the front midfielder, and it is an assault-type midfielder. With such ability requirements, Nedved has no problem at all.

Benitez's face suddenly changed, and he looked a little gloomy, concealing his inner worry.

After Nedved inserted into the penalty area. There are two defenders chasing behind. There is a goalkeeper who abandons the goal ahead. Instead of stopping the ball or shooting, he headed the ball directly and headed the ball to the front right area!

The focus of the audience's eyes shifted. They saw Ronaldo, who entered the penalty area diagonally, poked the ball towards the goal before Riise. A group of Liverpool people, including the goalkeeper, chased towards the goal. Trying to hook the ball off the line, however. It's too late!

Ronaldo was knocked to the ground by Riise when he finished the shot. His eyes were focused on the goal until he saw the ball rolling into the goal. Then he got up from the ground with an excited smile and pointed at Nedved. The two hooked each other's necks and ran frantically to the corner flag area to celebrate!

Ronaldinho launched an offensive! Nedved assisted! C Ronaldo scored! Maybe this ball will kill the game, there is not much time left in the game, Liverpool, reversed!

The familiar cheering sound from the Lion King Stadium was deafening!

When the fans celebrated passionately in the stands, they almost lost their composure and went crazy.

Aldridge called back all the warm-up players on the sidelines.

With a serious face, he assigned game tasks to the players who were about to be substituted.

The score was reversed and overtaken.

But the game is not over.

He wants to settle down.

Millwall didn't delay game time either. The substitution was completed directly before Liverpool's re-kick-off.

The last two substitutions.

Exit Henry, enter Larson.

Exit Ronaldinho, enter Glenshire.

In the new offensive and defensive formation, De Rossila went back to play as a defender, Nedved and Alonso acted as double midfielders, Ronaldo and Glenshire were in the winger position, Larsson and Villa were in front of the center One after the other.

Benitez still kept his face and heart beating, but Liverpool counterattacked with all his strength under the command of his simple gestures.

1 point is guaranteed.

rather than the ultimate pursuit.

Liverpool also completed two substitutions to re-strengthen their offense.

But there is not much time left in the game, and their mentality has changed a lot from before.

Glenshire is physically fit, and Millwall's offense is focused on his side.

When stoppage time was approaching, the game was truly killed!

Glenciel dribbled the ball from the left and then dribbled the ball inside and cut into the middle. After finishing a two-and-one with Villa, he sent a straight ball to Larsson. On 3:1!

Perhaps just looking at the results, many people would think that it was not difficult for Millwall to win, but Aldridge and Benitez, the two coaches who shook hands after the game, knew in their hearts that the game in the game was thrilling.

Benitez didn't feel too much down, either.

In fact, when it comes to pure coaching ability, Aldridge can't say that he is absolutely ahead of his peers, that is absolutely nonsense.

Because the comprehensive combat effectiveness of a team needs time to accumulate, form, run-in, form, mature, and sublimate, which also includes the constraints of the players' personal abilities and potential. There are too many uncertain factors in it, and the thickness of the bench, etc. wait.

Millwall won. Aldridge has managed the team for more than ten years. The overall stability and team centripetal force are important basic factors for them to gain a foothold in the highly competitive European football and achieve outstanding results.

After the first game of the devil's schedule, the gap between Millwall and Chelsea has not changed, and Chelsea is still 3 points behind Millwall!

Three days later, Millwall marched north to Highbury.

In view of the fact that three of Arsenal's main players from last season left before this season, the outside world was not optimistic about Arsenal this season. Forwards, midfielders, and defenders, each of the three lines had one main player leave the team. This is definitely a injury for the team. It's heartbreaking, but, with Wenger's excellent ability to cultivate talents, not only did Arsenal fail to compete for the fourth place in the league in the new season as expected by the outside world, but instead stabilized the top four seats early. As for not being able to compete for the championship, this is understandable , Millwall and Chelsea are simply perverted teams, and it is too difficult to compete with them.

The three rookies trained by Wenger are Clichy, Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie.

Arsenal's league title is hopeless, and the Champions League has also been eliminated.

But in their season, there is still a goal that can be pursued: the FA Cup!

Three days after this league game, the FA Cup semi-final will be ushered in.

The semi-finals are played on neutral ground.

Wenger naturally has ambitions for the FA Cup, and the championship trophy is extremely important for motivating young players.

So in the game at Highbury, Wenger sent half the main team and half the team as substitutes. Don't dare to give up completely. But he didn't dare to fight hard with Millwall who needed to grab points to maintain the lead!

Highbury. There were no seats left.

Arsenal fans were extremely upset in the stands.

Wenger sent half a team of substitutes. Although there will be an FA Cup semi-final three days later, the fans will naturally be very dissatisfied with Millwall, who snatched the league title from Arsenal at the last minute of last season. !

Wenger kept frowning on the sidelines.

He couldn't understand Aldrich.

Three days later, everyone has the FA Cup final.

Although Millwall needs three points, even one of the main players does not rest!

Is this the rhythm of giving up the FA Cup front?

For Aldrich, it is impossible to talk about giving up absolutely.

football field. Tian Ji's formation strategy such as horse racing does not necessarily work absolutely.

First of all, Aldridge is not sure whether Wenger will stay strong, and secondly, if the strength is balanced to play the devil's schedule, the players are in good condition, and maybe all fronts will be triumphant.

But if the state is not good, but you take the initiative to average the strength, then, maybe the whole line will collapse!

There is no lack of teams in history that had a chance to win the Triple Crown and ended up with none of the four.

So Millwall did his best in this game. As for the FA Cup semi-finals, he intends to let the substitute play. Even if it is the semi-finals, even if it is about to face Manchester United.

Aldridge has to think about that. After the FA Cup semi-finals, there are still three fierce battles!

Play Manchester United at home in the league, go to Turin to challenge Juventus away, and then go to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea.

These three games will be completed in 8 days.

Therefore, the main force must rest.

The league has lasted too long, and you can't lose the league if you lose anything!

Compared with the difficulty of playing Liverpool's main team at home, Millwall got rid of the negative impact of losing to Manchester City after Lectra Liverpool. Arsenal, a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes, failed to withstand even the first half at home. !

Wenger's lineup in this game will definitely be controversial after the game. Millwall scored three goals in the first half, and the game lost suspense. Although there will be an FA Cup semi-final three days later, but, Arsenal's home game was defeated by Millwall. This is something that the fans of the home team absolutely cannot tolerate. This kind of situation is not impossible, but it depends on the situation. If the Arsenal team fights hard, it is a pity that they will lose to Millwall by a big score. , the accusations from the fans may be much smaller, but now, today’s situation is more like Arsenal surrendering to Millwall at Highbury! You know, in the latest Arsenal fan survey, more than 50 % of supporters say they hate Millwall more than they hate Tottenham!

Wenger wants to catalyze the growth of Cesc Fabregas. Today, he hopes that Fabregas can experience the big scene and control the scene, but the young Fabregas disappeared directly in the midfield and lost to Alonso in the confrontation. Performance was very lackluster at both ends.

Aldridge looked normal with his hands in his pockets as he walked towards the tunnel at half-time, while Wenger looked bitter.

He thinks that either Aldridge is crazy. He thinks that he can still get very good results in 7 consecutive games against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. This is not the beginning of the season, but now it is the end of the season. For Millwall, who is fighting on multiple fronts, it is bound to reach the stage where players need to grit their teeth and persist.

Wenger knew he had guessed wrong.

Considering Millwall's schedule, how can Millwall not take turns?

However, he thought that Aldridge would be very greedy, and if he wanted to play the FA Cup final as the main force, he would send a weaker lineup in the league at Highbury, which backfired!

Compared with the embarrassment of being behind by a large score, Wenger paid more attention to protecting the confidence of the young players. In the second half, he immediately replaced Fabregas and Van Persie and tried his best to defend.

Aldridge was calm on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.

Thanks to Wenger, Wenger wants to fight for the FA Cup, the second game of the devil's schedule, there is no shocking battle expected by the outside world, Millwall scored 4:0 without bloodshed, and returned from Highbury. (To be continued..)
