The Young Lion

Four hundred and fiftieth chapters: Auld Lang Syne

After Millwall's midfield substitution, although this may be a humiliation in the eyes of Leeds United, Millwall is about to withdraw. With 45 minutes left in the game, they took the initiative to let the two main players rest because they had already Gained a very large lead.

Regardless of whether it is youthful or stubborn, when Smith recklessly tackled Makelele behind his back and spit at Aldridge who clapped when he was sent off, his behavior angered all Millwall players.

The substitutes sitting on the bench, Ronaldinho and Pirlo who were replaced, as well as the members of the coaching staff, they are no longer talking and laughing, and the 11 players on the field are even more cold iceberg.

Originally, they really wanted to slow down the pace and play. As long as they have the ball and defend well, this is enough for them to be sure of winning. But now, they forgot about the score, 4:0, go to hell, the game, now start!

Alan Smith paid the price of a red card for his uncool behaviour, his tackling from behind was an obvious flagrant foul which could have been given an additional penalty after the game, and he spit at Millwall manager Hall when he came off the pitch Shui's bad behavior will inevitably bring him more punishment, and the FA will not condone this kind of behavior. O'Reilly made a substitution adjustment, replacing Duff with Mills, and now they play 5 Defenders, 0 forwards.

Aldridge took off his suit and was picked up by Leeds United stadium staff, and then went to put it on the coach's seat of the visiting team, but as soon as he put it down, Klinsmann picked up the suit and threw it directly on the ground .

The staff had no choice but to pick up the suit again and bring it into the player channel, no matter what. This cannot be left so conspicuous on the grass. The audience who witnessed that process only needs to see. It will be associated with the immoral behavior of Smith spitting, which will definitely have a negative impact on Leeds United.

Aldridge stood expressionlessly on the sidelines with his hips crossed, and he didn't even look at O'Reilly next door.

Makelele was injured, Gattuso replaced, Millwall had used up three substitutions, and Aldridge had no cards to play. Now Leeds United uses five defenders to prevent conceding goals, and there is no counterattack power at all.

It should have been collected. In the first half, the opponent was poured four times. In the second half, Millwall couldn't afford to fight the opponent. The two teams are not at the same level. Millwall also has more pursuit than the opponent. They want to compete for the championship. At the same time, they also have to consider the European war. Aldridge must not only maintain the physical fitness of the players, but also maintain their state, and try to keep them from bursting out on the court continuously in a short period of time, which will easily cause their state to decline in the next stage.

But Leeds United just want to fight Millwall. Holding the illusory consciousness of a strong team, he is unwilling to be humiliated, but within the rules. With limited ability and outside the rules, he played lethal tactics.

This cannot be tolerated, absolutely not!

It would be nice if Materazzi was on the pitch.

Aldridge thought so, not because he thought that having a villain like Materazzi on the field would give Leeds United a little color, but he thought more about tactical changes.

When Materazzi is on the field, he can directly rush to the front line. Aldridge only needs to point his finger at him, and then point to the front line, and Materazzi can immediately understand. The inherent advantage of the column center is that it doesn't matter if it doesn't participate in the defense.

Now Millwall is in control of the midfield and is conducting a half-court pressing attack. Although Leeds United play one less player, they have one more defender.

In the 60th minute of the game, Aldrich directly shouted to the field, Lucas! Lucas! regardless of the game being in progress.

Neil and Southgate stayed at the back of the center circle honestly. They were free enough. Even if the opponent counterattacked, it was often a clearance ball. Gattuso intercepted, and Leeds United could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

Neil heard Aldrich's yelling, looked at the situation in front of him, and felt strange. The game was still going on, and the boss suddenly called him, isn't he afraid that he might be distracted?

When he saw Aldrich waving to him, he jogged over.

Aldrich waited for him to walk in front of him, and began to arrange the next tasks for him in detail.

He asked Neil to stand on the front line as a fixed-point forward. Regardless of whether it is practical or not, multiple people can interfere with Leeds United's back line and also serve as a cover for Henry.

To put it bluntly, it's a shit stick

It is impossible for him to directly threaten the opponent's goal with one more high point like Materazzi, but after understanding Aldridge's instructions and requirements, he rushed up and moved around Ferdinand and Radebe.

This adjustment was considered by Fleet Street after the game as another tactical adjustment by Aldridge.

Neil does not run deep on the front line, that is, he does not move forward. When Millwall's offense hits the front of the penalty area, he does not care about the position of his teammates. His attention is only concentrated on the defensive area of ​​​​Ferdinand and Radebe. vacancy, and then run laterally toward the vacancy area.

As soon as he ran, Ferdinand and Radebe would be distracted. Although they would not lose their positions easily because of this, someone had to follow Neil. Who would follow? A midfielder, or Mark Bresciano, or Cahill, or Bowyer.

Ever since, the barrier in front of the back line was loosened, and the second adjustment made by Aldridge after adjusting Neal immediately took effect.

Zambrotta, Schneider's position premise, pressed up, and Lampard, formed a long-range threat of the three from different directions and angles outside the penalty area.

Glenshire dribbled the ball in from the left, passed Kelly, and kicked a long shot in front of Mills. The ball was blocked by Radebe. Lampard grabbed the second header and gave it to Zamb on the left. Rota, the latter also took a long shot and hit Mills again. The ball bounced back and was caught by Glenshall. He didn't kick again, chose a cross and handed it to Schneider.

Two consecutive long-range shots disrupted Leeds United's defense. They thought that Schneider would also shoot long-range shots, but the Germans looked at the quasi-empty pass through the penalty area. Henry overwhelmed Radebe and shook his head in front of the goal. The ball flew into the goal from between the hands of goalkeeper Martin.

Sixty-fourth minute. Millwall scored the fifth goal of the game. 0:5, this is already a bloodbathed score, and every minute will be the torment and struggle against Leeds United torture.

After Henry scored a goal, he turned around and walked towards the backcourt, raised one hand, stretched out a slap, five fingers.

After seeing the goal, Aldridge raised his chin with a look of rebellion.

Leeds United, you brought this on yourself!

Four minutes later, Bowyer received his second yellow card of the game for consecutive fouls. Two yellows turn into one red, end!

The referee has taken care of Leeds United enough. This is Bowyer's 7th foul in the game. He received a yellow card in the first half. Just now he hit Lampa with his body when he couldn't get the ball at all. De, this is obviously a card-eating action. If the score is not 0:5, and Smith has already been sent off, he should have received a second yellow card for pushing down Grenshall from behind. This time. The referee can't Forgive him, otherwise. I really don't know what kind of situation the game will develop. There are still more than 20 minutes in the game, Leeds United is behind by five goals, and two players will be missed.

O'Reilly was poker-faced on the sidelines, replacing Kewell with Mateo and adding another guard.

6 defenders!

Aldrich really wants to applaud him this time, well done, O'Reilly!

The Arsenal legend is different. He has mixed with Graham, and he is better than blue, 6 defenders!

If you have the ability, bet on the goal with a human wall!

After the game, O'Reilly's two consecutive substitutions and adjustments were considered a failure among failures. Although there was a numerical disadvantage, the practice of increasing defenders caused even greater disasters.

Without a midfield interception, Millwall's long-range shots from the outside are even more unscrupulous.

In the last 20 minutes of the game, that scene was simply a nightmare for Leeds United players.

Glenshire, Neil, Henry, Nedved, and Larsson were on the front line and were marked by the opponent's six defenders.

Then, midfielders Cahill and Bresciano were tricked by Zambrotta, Lampard and Schneider!

bang, bang, bang, bang

Millwall fired continuously from the outside, and most of the long-range shots were blocked by the opponent with human flesh. After the long-range shots went flying, Leeds United opened the goal kick but was delaying time.

In the 81st minute, Lampard fired a long-range shot into the world and let Leeds United's gate fall again. He tried 5 kicks and finally got something.

Three minutes later, Nedved's long-range shot in front of the penalty area was blocked, and the ball landed in the penalty area. Larsson's supplementary shot tricked the goal into the goal.

In the last minute of the game, Neil responded to Schneider's cross from the back of the goal and headed the ball into the goal with his knee.

When the time on the big screen flickered from 89:59 to 90:00, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Regardless of whether the fourth official played stoppage time, he chose to end the game.

At the beginning of the second half, the singing of Leeds United fans could still be heard in the stands. After 0:5 and Bowyer off the field, the atmosphere at Elland Road Stadium became very strange.

Dead silence!

Then, it turned into bursts of cheers, those were fans from the Crazy Lions, they were booing, playing, enjoying, and carnivaling!

As long as Millwall's players touch the ball, there will be cheers in the stands, even counting, one, two, three, four. The more Millwall passes, the louder the counting sound, and This counting sound like a wave will always end in an uproar, which is Millwall's shot.

At the end of the game, Aldridge didn't bother with the referees about stoppage time. He raised his head and looked around the stands at Elland Road Stadium. The large stands were already empty.

Aldrich loosened his tie, turned and walked into the player tunnel with a grim expression.

In the stadium box, Ridsdale's eyes were tearing apart.

What did he witness in the past two hours?

What? !

massacre!

massacre!

shame!

The white roses of Yorkshire, on this day, were severely trampled by the wild lions from London. The score of 0:8 will also be recorded in the record of the Leeds United Club for a long time. In the record of the Premier League, unless they will suffer a bigger The bloodbath of the score, but that would definitely be another nightmare.

Snapped

He was suddenly patted on the shoulder lightly, and he looked up at the owner of the fat palm with a bloodless face, and what caught his eyes was a picture that was quite joyful but disgusting at the moment. year face.

Arthur, who is potbellied, came to watch the away game today and sat with Ridsdale.

He patted the other person on the shoulder as a comfort. Ridsdale looked up at Arthur in a daze, only to see Arthur whistling with his usual expression.

The melody of the whistle was familiar, and Ridsdale watched Arthur slowly wave goodbye to him while whistling.

When Arthur disappeared outside the box, Ridsdale clenched his fists with a hideous face.

Perhaps, what stimulated him the most was that the melody from Arthur's whistle was Auld Lang Syne (to be continued...) ()
