The Young Lion

Highbury.

Since the groundbreaking of the new stadium, Arsenal's finances have been tight. After living frugally for many years, the ills have also surfaced. The decline in the team's overall competitiveness is obvious to all.

If you compare Millwall with Arsenal, the gap between the two teams in the main 11 players may not be too big in the past. Although Arsenal are at a disadvantage, they still have the power to fight.

But now, the gap between the two teams is very obvious, even the level gap.

The main lineup of Millwall may only be a little bit short of reaching the ultimate peak strength.

But what about Arsenal?

Wenger gave Xiaofa, Clichy, and Van Persie the main force, and let them play the role of leading the way. In terms of ability, they are still growing, and there is still a long way to go from the peak. In addition, the team The ultimate potential value itself cannot be compared with Millwall, so the gap in overall strength at this stage is clear at a glance.

In the middle of the week, they played in the Champions League and went to Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic. Arsenal fans had a great day. Against Millwall at home, my mood suddenly seemed to be shrouded in gloom.

Self-deception to comfort myself: The Wild Lions also played in the Champions League midweek, and they are consecutive guests, their strength will definitely fluctuate, and they lost in the middle of the week, and their morale is changing. The Gunners must have a chance at home!

But when it came to the game, the mental and physical disadvantages made Arsenal extremely passive on the scene even though they had the home court advantage, and it seemed that they had no chance.

Millwall's adjusted tactical play in the new season, as long as they are physically fit and the players are in good condition, they will almost suppress their opponents from moving.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Ronaldinho entered the middle from the left, and the frequency of his feet was amazing. If you look at his movements coherently, it feels like he is dancing on the court.

He dribbled away from Cesc Fabregas easily at first, then twisted his body in front of Gilbert and made a move to confuse the opponent's body, and then suddenly accelerated the breakthrough. In front of the back line, Henry made a running check and cover. Campbell swayed the ball horizontally in front of him, took advantage of the movement and volleyed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Highbury fell silent.

Wild Lions fans collectively worshiped Ronaldinho in the stands.

Ronaldinho has been in excellent form since late September,

He looked unstoppable on the court, no one could stop him, no one! He has scored many goals like this. As long as the opponent gives him enough space, then the Brazilian magician can show his miraculous magic dance steps.

As the number one player who accelerates the front court, Ronaldinho is usually the first person who blows the horn of attack at Millwall. He must first play a threat to make the opponent have to strengthen, and then strengthen the restrictions on him. Then, next, he It is equivalent to restraining teammates and creating more offensive space for teammates.

In the 32nd minute, Ronaldinho deftly passed the ball in the way of Marseille's roundabout on the left side. After turning around and pulling the ball, he pulled the ball directly to the side. Ram, who followed, passed the ball straight to Henry in front of the side.

Henry stopped the ball and dribbled the ball horizontally. In terms of rhythm, neither Lauren nor Toure could keep up with Henry. They always seemed to be a beat slower than their opponents, which may be related to the accumulation of fatigue from continuous combat.

Henry dribbled the ball horizontally to the middle of the penalty area and then suddenly changed direction and cut into the penalty area in a straight line. Gilberto, who returned to the defense, was completely missed, and Toure also lost his center of gravity.

Facing goalkeeper Lehmann, Henry calmly shot the ball low into the bottom left corner of the goal, easily rewriting the score.

Arsenal are two goals behind at home!

Wenger spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines, looking very dissatisfied, but everyone felt strange and didn't know what he was complaining about.

It seems that either Arsenal's players made a low-level mistake, or they just couldn't resist the attack of the Wild Lion at a glance.

Arsenal tried to play a fast-paced home game, but before the end of the first half, Kaka made a long-distance attack and completely exploded the entire defense line.

Kaka was selfless. At the last moment, he passed the ball to Ronaldo who started the anti-offside, and Ronaldo scored the goal single-handedly.

3:0, Arsenal was once again defeated by Millwall at home! If we are still condemning Millwall's defeat in the Champions League in midweek, then at least we should recognize Sir Hall's strategic intentions and let The main force rested and recharged to deal with Arsenal in the league. It seems that this has achieved good results. In the overall comparison, Millwall is only completely stronger than Arsenal in terms of physical fitness and state, let alone stronger than Arsenal itself. Arsenal's technical and tactical strength.

In the second half, Arsenal's situation did not change significantly.

This season, Arsenal's league record has dropped significantly from the beginning, which is closely related to their record performance last season or even last season.

Originally last season, people thought that Arsenal's combat effectiveness would be greatly weakened. This is a normal view, because they have lost their main players, coupled with the strength of Millwall in the league and the sudden emergence of Chelsea, the Premier League attaches great importance to Arsenal. dropped.

Under such circumstances, Arsenal has achieved very good results. Then, this season, everyone has raised the importance of Arsenal. After all, Arsenal has the impression of a traditional giant.

Under such tremendous pressure, Arsenal's record in the league has declined, which basically reflects their true strength, or it is low, because there are too many young players. After a bad start, the increase in psychological pressure did not predict the difficulty of the game. The sudden improvement further affected their performance.

What they need is steady growth, which takes time.

It is undeniable that Van Persie is still just a small soldier, not General Fan, and the biggest obstacle restricting his progress at this stage is injury.

There is also Cesc Fabregas, who can only be said to be a relatively good young player at this time. Looking at the stadium data alone, it is really not enough for people to regard him as the core midfielder of the giants. He also needs more games to grow.

In this period, the immature Arsenal fell behind by three goals at home, and in the second half they wanted to reverse the decline with their daring style.

The seasoned Millwall didn't give them any chance, and pursued the victory. Aldridge has reservations in the Champions League, but he won't stay in the league!

He wants to create the greatest pressure on Chelsea!

The second half became a one-man show for Millwall's attacking players.

In the 57th minute, Kaka once again staged a long-distance attack. He dribbled the ball from the midfield and kicked Fabregas out of sight. Gilberto was also crushed by Kaka's explosive acceleration. In the end, Kaka He selflessly sent an assist to Henry, and Henry passed the attacking goalkeeper Lehmann and kicked the ball into the empty goal.

In the 73rd minute, Henry and Ronaldo changed positions. Schneider and Henry made a continuous and smooth two-to-one cooperation on the right. Schneider dribbled the ball down and cut inward and then crossed the ball. Ronaldo grabbed the ball in front of the goal. Point the ball into the ball, scored twice.

Two minutes later, when the opponent's entire army was defeated, Ronaldinho played a dragon on the left, cutting in from the bottom and shooting from a small angle. Lehmann blocked the ball, but was followed by Kaka's follow-up shot to rewrite the score to 6: 0!

Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Arsenal are being slaughtered by Millwall at home! There are still 15 minutes in the game, but the score has become 6:0! Millwall is completely crazy!

It was already too late for Wenger to dispatch troops.

His adjustment is to strengthen the defense and avoid being scored the seventh and eighth goals!

Wenger sat on the coach's bench with a bitter and helpless expression.

After all, Millwall's overall strength is much stronger than Arsenal's!

And at home, Arsenal do not want to be suppressed by their opponents, especially those young players who always hope to perform in such a game that attracts the attention of fans all over the world, but the reality is extremely cruel, even cruel.

Just looking at the worth of the starting players, Millwall may be at least twice as high as Arsenal!

This is the hard power gap in general.

In terms of soft power, Millwall is definitely stronger than Arsenal.

Wenger's bitterness may be more derived from the history of club construction.

Now Arsenal is eager to move into the new stadium as soon as possible, get rid of the debt of the new stadium as soon as possible, and make the finances not only healthy, but more profitable, so that they have the capital to enrich the lineup.

Back then, Millwall was about three years ahead of Arsenal's new stadium plan. These three years may be a huge difference!

With lower costs and earlier returns, combined with the background of football development and the background of the times, Millwall's benefits are immeasurable.

At this time, looking back at the development of Millwall at that time, most people in the entire football world will praise Aldridge's wise decision-making at that time!

Under the pressure to sell the main force to build the stadium, in exchange for a prosperous world!

Arsenal have gone from leading to three years behind Millwall in club building, and the three years they were behind may put them at least a decade behind the competition now and in the future!

Of course, football is not a place with absolute rules after all.

If Arsenal's equity allocation is not too complicated, maybe Abramovich will be able to come to North London that year. In that case, there will be no problem of money or not.

In the end, the London derby was fixed at a bloody 0:6.

Arsenal suffered a crushing defeat at Highbury!

Aldridge did not shake Wenger's hand after the game, because as soon as the game was over, Wenger took off his coat and went into the tunnel, presumably, to avoid boos from the home fans.

In an interview after the game, Aldridge officially announced to the outside world: the best Millwall is back!

At the beginning of September, he said that Millwall was gradually adjusting and working hard towards the right track. By the end of October, this adjustment period was finally over, and Millwall had returned to its peak state! r1152
