The Young Lion

Arsenal equalized the score before the end of the first half. From two goals behind to the equalizer, this was a great boost to morale. In the boiling Highbury, Wenger also showed a rare side of passionate celebration, taking off his suit He clenched his fists and waved his arms on the sidelines, and then applauded the players.

Aldridge stood up from his seat calmly and walked to the sidelines.

He can accept the result of a draw. If he wins, he will enter the FA Cup semi-finals. If he loses, he will not be disappointed. A draw would be even better. There will be another make-up match to give young players an extra chance to practice.

This is the mentality to face, but it can't be a let-down attitude towards the game.

Before the re-kick-off, he called van der Meyde and Glenciel to the front, and told them to take back to help defend the full-backs. Regardless of the 42 minutes of the game, it was less than 5 minutes before the end of the first half. According to Arsenal The momentum, maybe they will really go all out to complete the reversal in the first half.

It is necessary to decompress Ferreira and Cole, at least until halftime, so that they have a psychological buffer space.

After the re-kick-off, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle, and the wide midfielders also shrank back. The backcourt defense was eight people and two lines of defense. It was not so easy for Arsenal to make a fuss on the wing.

At the end of the first half, Arsenal 2:2 Millwall, Arsenal seemed to be slow to enter the game at home, and finally woke up after scoring two goals in a row. Fortunately, they walked into the locker room with a draw. Otherwise, the second half will be really difficult.

Aldridge carefully arranged the tactics of the second half during the halftime break. It is strange to say that he actually enjoyed the time of playing games with substitute players. Because the substitute players are young and their combat power is like the main lineup, he needs to play a greater role as the head coach to help the team win, if it is the main lineup. Aldridge's midfield adjustment is basically a few words. If he leads in the first half, the midfielder may not need to say a word.

In terms of strength on paper, Millwall's current group of young players is definitely not as good as last season's Premier League champions Arsenal.

Use the weak against the strong. Lots of fun.

At the beginning of the second half, Millwall seemed to retreat across the board. The two full-backs kept a distance from the full-backs. If Pires and Overmars fought alone, they would fall into a double-team situation.

Wenger frowned. Is Millwall trying to keep a draw?

Or lure Arsenal's two 35-year-old full-backs forward to assist?

If Winterbourne and Dixon really dare to go deep into the hinterland and go forward to assist, it is almost no different from courting death. They can come up, but can they go back as soon as possible?

Overmars dribbled the ball and broke through Glenshire's defense, and Ashley Cole saw the opportunity to grab it.

Peter Pan took a step faster and then smashed the ball and changed direction to enter the penalty area. Ashley Cole is like a ghost. He thought he could break the ball 100 percent.

Fortunately, Neal was prepared when Ashley Cole was passed, and Overmars was finally intercepted when he almost lost his center of gravity.

After stealing the ball, Neil passed it directly to Glenshire in the front left, and the Dane did not hesitate. Lampard made a diagonal pass in place, and the latter made a diagonal pass to the right.

Van der Meyde rushed forward from the right at high speed the moment he switched from defense to offense. Leaving Pires behind early, he received the ball just over the halfway line and sprinted down the wing.

Lampard's pressure forced Petit and Vieira to defend the dangerous area in front of the penalty area, especially when Klose also pulled out to the right. Van der Meyde faced Dixon alone and faked the ball. Finally, he used a turnaround similar to Marseilles to pull the ball past the opponent, and the action was highly entertaining.

The 19-year-old Van der Meyde defeated the 35-year-old Dixon! Action! He swayed the space and gave Ruud van Nistelrooy, the back point, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored twice, Millwall took the lead again in the 53rd minute of the second half! This is the young man Victory, Millwall's youth storm swept the aging Arsenal defense! Van der Meyde, another talented wide player in the Netherlands, will he be the next Overmars? Hahaha.

Ruud van Nistelrooy roared into the stands after scoring.

He likes the teammates around him so much, Van der Meyde, Klose, and Glenciel, all of them have good individual abilities and can always create opportunities in a small area. He just needs to run out of space flexibly , the ball will come to his feet, and then, he scores, celebrates, enjoys

But he also knows that they are not the protagonists of Millwall now. Although they have played very well this season, there is still a clear gap with the main lineup.

If the strength of Millwall's main lineup is S-level, they can barely be regarded as A-level.

When Millwall's main attacking group played devastating offensive football, they became the focus of attention in English football. Fleet Street lamented Millwall's strength, especially after two or three consecutive seasons of running-in in this season's substitute lineup. After growing up, the entire first team has become a behemoth.

Hearing the word substitute, almost everyone's first reaction is weak. It's almost the same for other teams, even the giants.

But Millwall's substitute lineup, no one would think that it is now synonymous with underdogs, and even professional reporters like David Miller firmly pointed out: If Millwall does not have 11 main players, then the substitute lineup plus 7 , A team composed of 8 substitutes, without injuries, Hall can completely lead them to the top three in the Premier League.

It is definitely impossible to win the championship, but it is no problem to reach the top half of the standings, and there is some hope for competing for third place.

Millwall took the lead again, the game came to the second half, Arsenal began to become a little anxious.

Fifteen minutes later, Gattuso had the body to block Vieira's long-range shot. The ball fell to the feet of Paulo Ferreira. A good kick that made Aldridge poke his head up and want to applaud him.

It's a long pass to move the ball, crossing from the right to the left and Grünschall gets the ball on the left. Then began the unreasonable long-distance raid.

Pettit wanted to help defend the wing, but ran two steps and immediately turned around and ran to the back line.

He-damn, the speed is not at the same level at all!

Glenshire dribbled the ball to the left of the penalty area and faced Winterbourne. He didn't have a more skilled dribble like Van der Meyde, his choice was very simple and rude, he stopped and changed direction in front of Winterburn, and dribbled sideways.

Winterbourne went from defending up front to moving down the middle. All he could see was Glenshire's side face.

The 21-year-old Glenn Shire made the 35-year-old Winterburn completely unable to touch his jersey! How would he choose? Continue to pass? Van Nistelrooy leaned on Adams with his back, Klose advanced, Pe Tite was about to press him, just before Petit touched the ball, Glenn Schall poked the ball out, in the middle of the penalty area, Lampard hit it, a long shot! The ball went in! Lampard's Violent long-range shot, the ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal. Seaman hoped for the ball and sighed. Millwall's youth storm swept Highbury. Arsenal fell behind by two goals again!

After Lampard's shot he was knocked down from behind, it was Vieira, and after a pass from Glenshire was also knocked down. It's Pettit.

Even though the goal had been scored, the referee showed Petit a yellow card. I think his action of grabbing the ball just now is a dangerous action.

Lampard got up from the ground, ran to pull up Glenn Shire, put his arms around him and ran towards the sidelines, and the Millwall fans in the stands were cheering for them.

It seems that these young players are like a group of lion cubs, full of heroism and high morale!

Aldridge couldn't restrain his surprise smile on the sidelines.

Sending a substitute lineup to play today is really right.

They have plenty of physical fitness and strong fighting spirit, and they feel weaker than Arsenal, forcing Arsenal to attack mainly. Both teams are good at counter-defense, and Millwall has more opportunities.

Wenger kicked away the mineral water bottle on the sidelines.

It's hard to say whether Winterburn or Dixon were blown out by Glenshire and Van der Meyde today.

After all, their main offense, the forward line and the back line will be out of touch when they are counterattacked, especially on the basis that the opponent's wide players are super fast.

It is understandable that the frontal defense is passed by fast and flexible players. In addition, they are 35 years old. When they are playing counter-defense, they should first stabilize the defense. After compressing the space, the success rate of the defense can be guaranteed, and they can be counter-attacked , With these two sharp knives on the side of the opponent, how many defensive players in the Premier League can guarantee a 100% defensive success rate in one-on-one defense? And when the opponent's speed has fully rushed!

Wenger was pissed at himself that he didn't see Millwall's counter-attacking routine when he conceded the first goal of the second half.

The two conceded goals in the second half were almost exactly the same. Millwall flew both wings in the first half, but changed in the second half, cutting off one side and playing one side, but which side to play is very particular.

The first time was a successful defense on the left side, and he shifted to the right side during the counterattack, because Glenshire participated in the defense on the left side, and it was not so fast to turn from defense to offense and then move forward.

The second time was a successful defense on the right side, and the counterattack was immediately shifted to the left side. This kind of shifting attack and advancing forward not only made Arsenal's defensive center of gravity keep up with the rhythm immediately, but also gave the wide players the opportunity to start advancing. space and time.

This is exactly the focus of Aldridge's tactical adjustments in the second half.

2:4, Millwall led by two goals, with 20 minutes left in the game.

Aldrich stood up, about to play some shameless tricks.

Millwall substitutions, three substitutions at once? Glenciel, van der Meyde, Klose three substitutions, Pedretti, Duff, Ronaldinho come on, uh, Ped Reti is known as Marc Lele. He is a defensive midfielder. Is it possible to liberate Lampard? Let's see, Millwall's static formation should become 4321, Gattuso, Lampard, Peel Deletti formed a three-back midfielder, Duff and Ronaldinho played on the two sides, Ruud van Nistelrooy had a single arrow, and Aldridge seemed to be going to hold on to the victory.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face.

Wenger's face was as black as carbon.

The gentle professor wants to swear.

Millwall was strong and strong, and Glenn Shire and Van der Meyer replaced Duff and Ronaldinho when they were tired from running, and even more shamelessly put on the three midfielders.

This suddenly made Arsenal tactically more wary.

Isn't it nonsense that the middle lane wants to penetrate the defense zone of the third midfielder?

Ronaldinho and Duff have just come on the pitch, and they seem to be assisting the full-backs, but if they are counterattacked again, and these two go to Arsenal's defense, will Arsenal be able to withstand it?

Aldridge is indeed shameless. He actually put on Ronaldinho to scare the opponent. No matter which side he is on, can Winterbourne and Dixon, who have run for 70 minutes, be able to guard against the lively Ronaldinho?

If the double defensive midfielders are not inserted in the attack, can Arsenal just rely on the side to fight tough battles, can it be effective?
