The Young Lion

Thanks to Thief Death, Qingqing Little Wolf and The Magnificence of the Sun God for their rewards!

The stadium is very quiet, only Liverpool fans can make some noise.

Wild Lions fans don't seem to be used to the scene on the court, and the numbers on the scoreboard seem to be out of order.

Especially at home!

Aldridge stood up for the second time and walked to the sidelines, and then made a move towards the players with a fierce look on his face. Without any instructions for tactical adjustments, he just simply hit his left palm with his right fist.

The responsibility for the first conceded goal is the head coach's. There was a problem with Aldridge's tactical arrangement, and he made self-correction.

The responsibility for the second conceded goal is neither the head coach nor the players.

Because Liverpool's set-piece attack created chaos, and the second attack seized the opportunity. It is difficult to criticize the players for such a conceded goal. After all, they defended once. In the case of crowds, there was a split second. It's normal to keep an eye on someone.

But Aldridge is still very angry. The reason for his anger is that Millwall seems to be a little slack in spirit today.

Playing the game feels slow and orderly, probably thinking that after 90 minutes of the game, they can get a natural victory.

Who is the opponent?

Liverpool.

Liverpool was beaten to nowhere by them!

Aldridge's action is very simple, it is to let the players cheer up, devote themselves wholeheartedly, and bring the rhythm of the game up.

Logically speaking. Liverpool played away today but still put on a 442 formation. Concentrate on hitting the middle. There is almost no wing attack, and Millwall should use this as a breakthrough to suppress the opponent through crazy attack from the wing.

But because of the slackness of fighting spirit, there was no suppression, but Liverpool took the opportunity to set the ball.

Aldridge is not to blame for conceding the ball, but why Millwall didn't create more scoring opportunities!

The combination of offense and defense, simply speaking of defense or offense is meaningless.

Millwall relies on offense to suppress opponents so that the defense can also be relatively improved. Otherwise, offense is offense, defense is defense, playing football?

The players on the field saw Aldridge's expressions and body movements,

Everyone understands: the boss is not happy!

They are even more unhappy.

To be honest, Liverpool scored a goal in the opening game, and everyone felt that the game should have been easily won in a familiar rhythm.

But Liverpool scored two goals in a row to reverse the score, as if giving Millwall a blow.

They looked at the Liverpool players who were celebrating on the opposite side, and they had different thoughts. Roughly a haughty rage.

Grass, is the Red Army planning an uprising?

There is no inherent glory and superiority in Millwall. However, there are strong and arrogant people who have been shaped by brilliant records. They are not born to be the strongest, but they are the result of fierce battles. Today's football status, income, influence, praise, and honor are all achieved by themselves. Because of this, this kind of arrogance is more determined, unlike some players who have hypocritical arrogance just because they are born in wealthy families.

Aldridge didn't go back to the coach's bench and sit down, but kept waving his arms, signaling players to attack, and his body movements were accelerating the game.

Phil Thompson saw that Liverpool was able to lead Millwall in the away game and scored two goals. Already.

It was like a tonic had been injected into his body, shaking his spirit.

He also constantly encouraged the whole team through words and deeds, and devoted himself to combat command.

Liverpool took the lead, so they started to play a little conservatively, focusing on counterattack opportunities.

However, their lineup was inherently deficient. The previous situation was once again on the table. They played two forwards, and the midfield defense seemed overwhelmed, especially when Millwall's two full-backs assisted.

In the 36th minute, Ronaldinho missed an excellent chance to score a goal. He went forward and cut in the rib space. Nedved cooperated with Henry. Without Carragher, Hyypia couldn't help the defense immediately. Except for the angle he faced the goal, there was no interference at all, but Ronaldinho kicked the ball into the stands.

Aldridge applauded the attack and encouraged the players to make persistent efforts.

The rhythm of the game was raised to a very fast level by Millwall, and then stabilized at this rhythm, the offensive cooperation was smooth and tacit, and the players' running positions were unpredictable. Even though Liverpool was conservative, they were exhausted on the defensive line.

Before the end of the first half, Zambrotta tried a long-range shot from outside the penalty area. The ball bounced off Henchoz. Pirlo followed up with another long-range shot. This long-range shot was very tricky. Now Pirlo Dudek made a wonderful save and fell to the ground on the goal line to block the ball with his hands.

But the angle he blocked was not very good. The ball bounced. Larson seized the opportunity and rushed over the ball when it bounced. , the ball flew into the far corner of the goal with a broken line.

After scoring the goal, Larson rushed to pick up the ball and ran back.

Millwall equalized before the end of the first half! The scorer was Larsson, uh, count carefully, Larsson's goals this year also reached 37 goals, Millwall's striker The firepower is too strong, Henry Galarson alone, the two can contribute more than 80 goals in the year. 2:2, Millwall got the game back on track, but only scored one game at home A draw is definitely not acceptable to them.

Even though the score was equalized and Millwall's momentum was good, Aldridge walked into the tunnel with a blank expression. The referee didn't stop time at all. halftime.

In the locker room, Aldridge waited for the players, after all the players walked in and closed the door. Aldrich said in a deep voice: Maybe you didn't pursue it anymore. Maybe your honor is enough. Maybe you, shit, I don't care what the hell you are thinking. Five years ago, three years ago, two years ago, I I won’t tell you anything, 99% of us will win the league championship this season. But if we lose the game today, the 1% chance of losing the championship will rise to 30%. Why? It’s not a change in the standings, It is a change in your mentality. This is football. This is a competitive sport described as a battlefield. It is far more cruel than you imagine. No team is afraid of losing. The most fearful thing is losing the tireless pursuit of victory. , Even if you win the opponent by 10 goals. Still have to pursue the determination to continue to expand the winning results! Some people think that enough is enough, it’s time to stop. Okay, tell me, I will send you to the most comfortable club for retirement, even if some of you You are still young, but since you have already reached the mentality of retirement, then get out of retirement! Millwall does not need players without ambition!

As soon as the words fell, Aldridge stepped out of the locker room.

The locker room was dead silent.

Some players couldn't understand Aldridge's anger, even if his expression didn't look angry, but what he said was the performance of Thunder's fury.

For example, Bout, as a goalkeeper, stood in the penalty area for 45 minutes, what problems can he see?

The players sitting on the bench can't tell that the level of thinking is not the same as that of the head coach.

It would be absurd to say how poorly Millwall played in the first half.

But as a coach, if you really wait until the team's performance plummets to solve the problem, then it will be too late!

This principle is to prevent erroneous things and get things back on track when problems appear.

To put it bluntly, Aldridge only gave a verbal warning, and did not take any substantive actions, but if he really wants to take actions instead of talking with his mouth, then the matter will be irreversible, and some players will definitely be sentenced to death .

Southgate sat on a chair in front of his closet. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: It is impossible for me to win the Golden Globe Award in my life. Although I have been nominated twice, I only got 8 votes in total. I I can't get the golden boots, I can't get the best player in the league. What I can get is the medal when the team won the championship at the end of the season. I keep every piece in the collection room at home. I hope that when I retire This is my honor and my career. Actually, I don’t understand who the boss is talking about, maybe it’s me, maybe it’s one of you.”

Someone talked, and the atmosphere finally got better, and it was the captain, not the coach. At least everyone's mentality has stabilized.

Southgate continued: I trust the boss, trust him blindly, everything he says is right for me, for no other reason, because he can make my career bigger than I ever dreamed it would be. Great, more brilliant, I think this is my luck, being his player, working with him is a kind of luck, because there are many players who are better than me, so I trust him blindly. Since he just said that, first of all , I think it is correct, some of us are mentally slack, relaxed, and the desire to win has decreased. I don't know who it is, and I don't want to know, but if one day, I can be like the boss, First time feeling this, so sorry guys, I can't be in a room with a guy like that, can't talk to him, can't trust him, can't fight with him anymore because he's in my way , is the enemy of my career, it's as simple as that, as the first captain under the boss, I have been seven years, if I can, I want to continue to do seven years, but I am 31 years old, Millwall used to be There is no such tradition, no, I hope that what I can leave to Millwall, in addition to contributing my own strength, there is also a tradition created as the captain, that is the spirit of the wild lion, the spirit of always pursuing victory, no Change because of how many titles you have won, or if you don't have titles, that's what I want to leave Millwall, if anyone thinks differently than me, then we are not brothers anymore.

Southgate's words resonated with many players, among which Nedved and Larson were the most touched. The three of them are the oldest main players in the team, and only Pagliuca on the bench is better than them. He is older, but in fact, Pagliuca does not have a strong sense of belonging to Millwall. Even though he has achieved brilliance here, it is only a career achievement and does not mean that he can regard this place as his home.

Nedved patted Southgate on the shoulder. Southgate stood up, looked around all his teammates, and found that the expressions of the others were solemn, and there was a sense of respect and determination in their eyes.

He said softly: We never blame each other, we are mad lions, mad lions united together, we are strong, we are the strongest in the world! To prove this, only on the field, I believe you, please also You believe me, we will show the fighting spirit that the mad lion should have, and continue the mad lion dynasty forever, forever!

Southgate closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, Millwall!

All the players in the locker room roared in unison with great determination: Come on!

Millwall!

Come on!

Millwall!!!

Rush! Rush! Rush! (to be continued...) ()
