The most terrifying home atmosphere in the Premier League is Liverpool's Anfield. Arsenal fans have always been very quiet. Manchester United has attracted more foreign fans with commercial operations. With Maradona's two goals for Barcelona, ​​the hot atmosphere of a comeback at home is getting farther and farther away, and other stadiums are either not as good as traditional giants because of the small attendance, or the fans' expectations are not as high as the giants. There is a lack of a soul that goes straight up in adversity.

After the opening, amidst the endless cheers of Liverpool fans, Liverpool's offense played vigorously.

The home combat power of the Red Army built by Roy Evans should not be underestimated. Although the first round of the league was only a small victory, as the team gradually improved, the offensive firepower of this team is not inferior to any team in the Premier League. .

Aldridge was pacing on the sidelines, watching Liverpool's smooth offensive frequently threatening Millwall's goal. Redknapp Jr. almost scored with a set kick, which caused huge sighs from the fans on the sidelines.

He is not very worried, Liverpool and Manchester United's offensive configuration is top-notch, but Manchester United's midfield configuration this season is biased towards defense, Keene Gabart, while Liverpool is biased towards offense, Redknapp Gabba Enns.

Faced with such a top-notch offensive configuration, Aldridge has two options for tactical deployment, either use double midfielders to slow down the opponent's offensive rhythm as he did against Arsenal, or fight against the opponent.

In away games, the first conservative tactic is usually chosen, but Aldridge chose the latter.

If it is conservative, in the noisy atmosphere of Anfield, the players may be more nervous, because the head coach's approach is to tell them in disguise: Liverpool's offense is very strong!

When Liverpool play at home, the more they play, the more confident they will become. This will ebb and flow, and maybe the game will lose suspense from the first second.

In fact, the tactical arrangement of each game is a gamble. If you win, you will be smart and incompetent. If you lose, you will be incompetent and stupid. Aldridge is also walking on thin ice in every game. He just wants the team to play in his own style today. However, the contraction against Arsenal is just a more targeted strategy to improve the chances of winning. It does not mean that Millwall's move to the Premier League must rely on defensive counterattacks.

When the Premier League has not yet entered the fast pace of the highway, Millwall will be the pioneer of this style.

Collymore kicked the goal and was blocked by Southgate with his body. Makelele grabbed the ball in front of Redknapp Jr. and passed it to the left. Neal dribbled two steps after receiving the ball Passed the ball to Nedved in the middle, and then he began to insert at high speed. Nedved first passed the ball to Schneider on the right, and he also began to insert at high speed.

From left to right, although Millwall controls the lateral transfer of the ball, although it is not like the British high ball long pass, the ground pass is based on running position and precision, and the success rate is naturally higher, which also makes the defensive player more efficient. It is difficult to guard against.

In this wave of counterattack, Millwall's offensive players played very tacitly. Schneider took the ball two steps and passed it to Larson who retreated in front. Larson took the ball with his back, and Scales behind him was ready After posting it, Larson directly knocked the ball back to Nedved who was plugging in, then turned around and ran into the penalty area, taking Scales away.

Nedved kicked the ball, and the ball came to Pires' feet. Jones didn't dare to be careless, and lowered his center of gravity to press Pires.

Jones looked back, and Neil, who had assisted him, had already reached the bottom line. After adjusting his step, he made a cross, which was the point in front of the goal.

Trezeguet was in a better position behind Wright's defense, he leaned on the opponent and looked like he had a better chance of winning the header.

However, Trezeguet straightened his body, as if he was about to jump, but in the end he didn't jump up. Instead, Wright, who was behind him, jumped high and flew the ball.

Trezeguet looked a little ugly, but he lowered his head and began to trot towards the outside of the penalty area.

No one saw, he gritted his teeth, as if he was enduring something.

Aldridge originally had great expectations for this attack, because Millwall's cooperation was smooth from the beginning to the end, and Trezeguet also occupied a favorable attacking position with consciousness. If he was squeezed away by Wright, or he It is acceptable to fail to compete for the top of the jump, or to miss the header, but Trezeguet stood still and looked from a distance, he did nothing!

Aldridge turned back and spread his hands to show his colleagues in the coaching staff a puzzled expression.

The coaches who were leaning over to watch the game also sat back down in frustration. Facing Aldridge's doubts, they all shook their heads to express their incomprehension.

It is said that Trezeguet could score such a wonderful diving jump at Old Trafford, but it makes no sense to be discouraged at Anfield!

It is also his newborn calf's unafraid of tiger momentum that allows Aldridge to always ensure his main position.

Millwall and Liverpool played against each other on the field. The two sides came and went, and no one took the initiative to control the rhythm.

Andy, this game can make the fans forget the passage of time and pay attention to the game. Liverpool and Millwall play attacking football, but Liverpool's offensive methods are still a bit single. Millwall's attack is 99% wonderful. , but many times when it came to the final blow, it was a little bit close.

Yes, Liverpool's wide crosses are threatening, or they will rely on the personal ability of the players to attract the defense and create opportunities, and Millwall, I found that Trezeguet was not in form today, and the number of times he competed for headers was obvious. Going down, barely getting the ball for his teammates, he looked like he was sick, very weak, not active in running.

Aldridge frowned more and more on the sidelines. What is Trezeguet doing?

Kicked like a piece of shit!

He didn't notice any signs of illness before the game, and he was in a good state of mind. What caused his performance to drop three gears in a row?

While Aldridge's attention was still on Trezeguet, Liverpool played a classic wing attack.

McManaman made a 45-degree cross from the wing, and the ball flew towards Millwall's back post. It seemed like a pass and a shot. The goalkeeper Keller attacked, jumped up to hit the ball but made a mistake in his judgment. In the middle, the ball landed at the back point, and Fowler appeared there, almost pushing the ball into the goal against the goal post. In order to avoid hitting the goal post, he took the initiative to turn around and fell beyond the baseline.

Goal in! Robbie Fowler, Liverpool's golden boy and McManaman did a good job. It was a typical English goal. A cross from the wing, the striker ambushed in the box and then scored. Millwall goalkeeper Keller made a mistake, he misjudged the ball's placement, his attack missed the ball, but opened the goal to welcome Fowler! Liverpool lead by a goal at Anfield!

The Red Army fans cheered thunderously, applauding Fowler's goal.

Aldridge closed his eyes helplessly on the sidelines.

You guys made an appointment to play tricks on me today, right?

The striker was out of order, the goalkeeper made a mistake, and they were messing with each other!

Of course, maybe the goalkeeper's mistake is a problem of ability, and Aldridge did not regard Keller as Millwall's main goalkeeper in the future.

Shaking his head, he had a plan in mind. If Keller does not perform well this season, let the German Bout replace Keller.

Every decision of the head coach must be convincing.

He can't just withdraw Keller from the main lineup just because of a mistake. The safe way is to compete fairly. Qi can only look for a new goalkeeper candidate.

He was more worried about Trezeguet.

The teammates on the field also noticed it. After the ball was lost, Larson returned to the halftime kick-off. Seeing Trezeguet's serious expression and sweating, Larson asked in a low voice: Hey, are you all right?

Trezeguet shook his head and said nothing, and kicked off directly after the referee blew his whistle.

Aldridge planned to speak to Trezeguet at half-time, as Trezeguet's performance had not improved in the five minutes following kick-off.

However, just before the 40th minute of the first half, Larson kicked the ball behind him and passed the ball to Trezeguet. As a result, he rushed forward and fell into the penalty area.

Wright, the 32-year-old Liverpool veteran, raised his hands to show his innocence. He had not touched Trezeguet.

The referee stopped the game and was going to walk up to Trezeguet and show a yellow card to warn the opponent of diving, but he held back and waved to the visiting team's bench instead.

The meaning is obvious, the team doctor enters the field!

Aldridge watched from the sidelines with his hips akimbo, vaguely guessing what was going on.

Trezeguet hugged his right foot and yelled in pain, then he lay down on his back, covered his eyes with one hand, feeling extremely disappointed.

He performed well at Millwall last season, and the team gave him a salary increase to renew his contract. He is the best choice for the main lineup and has won the trust and respect of the head coach. Trezeguet had a good time at Millwall year.

In the summer, he was a little carried away, playing in a daze, stuffing delicacies into his stomach all the time. After the new season came, although he scored in the first game, he was replaced in less than 60 minutes. He knew his body The state cannot keep up with the high-intensity game rhythm.

So, he practiced extra in the gym, working harder than all his teammates.

But just yesterday, he accidentally sprained his foot, because he was worried that he would lose his main position after telling Aldridge, so he concealed it, gritted his teeth and endured the pain to play, but he couldn't do his best even when running and jumping. Even his attention was more attracted by the dull pain in his right foot.

Just now, Larson's pass was brilliant. He just rushed over, easily left Wright behind, and then shot the goal to equalize the score for the team, but he wanted to make a contribution too much. At that moment, Forgot about his injured right foot, then overpowered and he fell!

Now, it's over, it's over!

The young Trezeguet even covered his face and dared not look at anyone, including his teammates and the team doctor.
