The Young Lion

Millwall reversed the score! Glenshire's shot lacked a touch of luck, but after it bounced off the post, the astute Trezeguet made it back..Glenshire was more dangerous in the second half , Hall's half-time adjustment was very effective.

After the overtake goal appeared, Aldridge stood up and applauded the players with a smile on his face.

After he sat down, Benitez asked inexplicably: Why do you have to make him go inside? Isn't this a normal way for the winger to go down?

Facing this question, Aldrich just shook his head and remained silent.

In this day and age, it is difficult to explain the problem clearly.

In the next ten years, players in many positions in European football will disappear one by one, and then they will be called classical, classical midfielder, classical winger, etc. Classical means the past, not the present or the future.

The disappearance of classical players or the sudden decline in competitiveness is inseparable from the overall football development environment, including the defensive posture of the team. For example, in contemporary times, most teams still pay attention to attacking in defense. This is also the space for classical wingers to survive. A grabbing defender, you take the initiative to grab me, and you didn't discuss it with me.

As for other advantages including the emphasis on the position of the midfielder, the outstanding advantages of a powerful center require the delivery of shells on both wings.

The contemporary Peter Pan Overmars is not because he doesn't have the ability to cut inside, but because there are many powerful centers inside the Dutch national team, who just need to pass from the bottom of the wings to send assists.

In the next ten years, Spain, which has produced excellent wingers one after another, will suffer the worst. Whenever they have the world-renowned angel wings, they always end in dismal international competitions. In the end, even the gate of the national team is no longer open The classic winger is open, even if it is brought, it is not a piece of mainstream tactics, but more to provide the team with supplementary and alternative moves.

The disappearance of the classical midfielder is essentially a static style of play that does not conform to the mainstream of European football.

Focusing back on the field, Liverpool fell into a state of madness after being reversed, like an irritated beast. The previous 70 minutes of the game did not seem to make them tired, but they were more active in running.

The fans in the stands held their breaths. They haven't felt this kind of pressure and tension at home for a long time.

I am afraid that Liverpool will score in the next second.

Liverpool's tide-like offensive relied on overall and aggression, which temporarily overwhelmed Millwall.

This kind of scene made Aldrich happy instead of surprised.

Today he also wants to thank Liverpool, but it is definitely a compliment.

Because the pressure brought by the crazy state of the Red Army is unprecedented for Millwall. Even against Manchester United, Millwall has never experienced this kind of pressure. It is more suppressed locally, but Liverpool's run today The intensity should be the highest among all opponents Millwall has ever encountered.

The pressure encountered made the players a little overwhelmed. Makelele even made a steal error that almost allowed Redknapp Jr. to equalize the score with a long shot.

Aldridge had to make a change, sent Gattuso to warm up and brought him on with 13 minutes remaining, replacing Trezeguet.

Now the formation becomes 4312.

The three of Makelele-Barack-Gattuso are responsible for intercepting in front of the ball, and Nedved is responding in the midfield.

With less than ten minutes left in the game, Liverpool was on the verge of breaking out, passing the ball quickly when receiving the ball, and quickly counterattacking after losing the ball. Seeing those red shadows besieging the Millwall players like a pack of wolves, Aldridge saw that in his eyes. Iron-blooded Red Army!

But Millwall did not leave much room for Liverpool to attack. Makelele was responsible for intercepting, Ballack compressed the space, and Gattuso swept across a wide range. This made Liverpool encounter big troubles in the offensive organization of positional warfare.

Although Redknapp Jr. passed the ball accurately, he was not outstanding in terms of creativity. This kind of player's characteristics are generally praised, but compared with the top pass masters, he is inferior to the top pass masters. It must be just the basic skills. When to pass, where to pass, and tearing the defense with the pass are the highlights of the master-level performance.

When the offensive space was compressed, Barnes couldn't find the way to get the ball out. There were people everywhere in front of him, and he was worried about handing the ball to the full-back who assisted him. Tuso cheated, but as soon as he accelerated, Makelele came over with a diagonal shovel, and accurately shoveled the ball from in front of Barnes to the right.

Barnes quickly rushed to the left, the ball was over there, Schneider didn't wait for McManaman and Barnes to press up after getting the ball, and he was defending almost the whole court. His performance today was very bad, but at this moment, He calmly passed the ball to the left side of the frontcourt with a long oblique pass, which can be called a magic touch on the court.

The eyes of the audience were all focused on Millwall's second half, and this pass made everyone's eyes suddenly shift, and then there was a loud cheer.

Glenshire crossed the halfway line and started sprinting, stopped the ball firmly and then dribbled two steps. Liverpool's backcourt was empty, only two central defenders, Babb went back to defend, but Scalise had a **** disease , took the initiative to go forward to defend Glenshire.

This time, Glenshall did not choose to break through. There was too much space in the middle. Nedved looked at him while running. After Larson opened up the gap, he easily passed the ball with one kick. Even with wings on his back, Bob couldn't catch up!

Larson dribbled the ball into **, and James had just rushed two steps forward, but saw Larson's spirit overflowing his feet to cut the ball, the ball leaped up lightly, which suddenly made the ball game full of speed and collision passion just now suddenly There is a turning point in the rhythm.

The entire audience looked at that beautiful and unpredictable little rainbow, as if they had gained a short period of peace from the explosive atmosphere.

Looking back, James saw the ball slid into the goal against the lower edge of the crossbar, and the rainbow flashed across his head, causing him to bow his head and sigh with his hands on his hips.

Wonderful goal! Larsson killed the game, 3:1, with less than 3 minutes left in the game, it is almost impossible for Liverpool to get out of the Lion's Den!

The Liverpool soldiers looked at their opponents who ran to the corner flag to celebrate, puzzled.

We became famous earlier than the other side. In terms of strength, the outside world will not think that Millwall players have an overwhelming strength advantage.

But why did Millwall play with such control? The offense is smooth and flowing, and the transition between offense and defense can be retracted freely.

In the last three minutes, Aldridge delayed the time with another substitution, and the fans applauded when Glenciel left the field.

His performance today is very eye-catching, but from the perspective of efficiency, it is still terrible. The success rate of passing and crossing is frighteningly low, but he can make the right choice at the most critical time, which means that he is growing.

Liverpool tried their best, but failed to rewrite the score. At the end of the game, Aldridge took the initiative to applaud. Today's Liverpool is worthy of respect. At least they have begun to restrict Millwall tactically, but the characteristics of the players are not enough. Make the tactics perfect. For example, if there is a defensive midfielder in the three midfielders, their offense and defense will be more balanced.

However, Millwall is also growing. After these players are comfortable switching tactics, their personal ability will be one of the decisive factors in winning or losing.

The fans in the audience also stood up and applauded the players of the two teams. Although the Wild Lions fans all have the mentality of a winner, it is no problem for them to praise this full-fledged game.

Aldridge and Evans came together, and after they shook hands, they chatted a few more words.

Evans apologized for Collymore's insulting gesture, and Aldridge accepted the old man's apology, and then praised Liverpool's performance today, and finally the two left one after another.

Today, because it is a strong dialogue, especially Millwall's Premier League rankings are there, so after the game, it is not a simple interview in the mixed zone, but a press conference.

The players went to the mixed zone for live TV interviews, and Aldridge sat in front of a group of reporters.

Most reporters feel like Millwall has won again today, but Collymore's middle finger incident occurred in the game, Jenson was sent off with a red card, Aldridge should fire at Liverpool, right?

But when asked about his evaluation of Liverpool's performance in this game, Aldridge surprised everyone.

Today's Liverpool is one of the strongest teams that Millwall has encountered in the past two years. Although they lost the game, they did not lose their momentum and spirit. If they can maintain today's performance, there will be a very good season at the end of the season. A good league ranking will be more competitive in the future. On the contrary, I think the players at Millwall were a little slack in spirit in the opening stage, and did not show enough focus on their opponents. This made us fall into a passive position from the beginning and first Conceding goals, fortunately they adjusted quickly, I am very happy that we came back to win, but I don’t want to see the team conceding goals and then recovering.”

The reporters in the audience insinuated and asked Aldridge, all wanting to hear him make trouble for Liverpool.

However, Aldridge is uncharacteristically. Compared with the hot buddies who mocked Liverpool in the past, most of his comments on players today are very high. Even if Redknapp Jr. is not commendable on both offensive and defensive ends, at least he Aldridge also praised his dedication and focus on the game.

Did you see what Collymore made?

It is impossible to talk about Collymore, the controversial figure of the game.

Aldrich just downplayed this: I didn't see it, someone told me, and I didn't really care, even if he was coming at me, he seemed to forget that when he did it, he was wearing His jersey is red with the logo of a giant club that is recognized in England, Europe, and even the world. Only those with distorted values ​​will find it cool for him to do this. Is it an insult to me? Is it an insult? Millwall? Huh, I think he made himself a clown, he's humiliating Liverpool, not Millwall, when we humiliate our opponents, we win with a big bloody fight Winning and letting the opponent remember us is the right way to express our thoughts on the football field.

Aldridge is very open about this kind of thing. People who don't like him will humiliate him in various ways. Are players on the field anxious to get angry by gesticulating their middle fingers?

Then when he goes to an away game, the visual shock produced by the obscene gestures of countless fans is stronger than that of one person, and the obscenities from the stands are endless, if you can't stand this, then don't be the head coach.

The psychology of all kinds of people in the football circle is very strange. If you fail, some people will laugh at you, but if you succeed, some people will hate you. If you are mediocre, some people will still scold you.

The rise of Millwall is a reason enough to be hated.

How could any team on the cusp be liked by everyone? (To be continued. (m)
