After years of accumulation of fatigue, when Irving was in the prime age of a player, his body became extremely fragile. Not only did the frequency of injuries begin to increase, but his physical fitness also tended to decline. In the second half of the game, his explosive power
The decline is obvious, which is why Aldridge dared to remove a central defender.
When Millwall piles up four offensive players on the front line, Liverpool's defense must retreat deeper and invest more defensive forces.
However, Millwall's forwards did not directly enter the penalty area and take up positions. Instead, they wandered around the outside of the penalty area, forming a numerical advantage outside the penalty area, and then launched an offensive with the threat of sudden forward movement at a certain point.
After Villa came on the field, he conveyed the coaching staff's on-the-spot arrangements to his teammates, especially Henry and Ronaldo on the striker. Ronaldinho himself would not force the striker, and he preferred to move in the area behind the striker.
When the Liverpool back line involuntarily pressed out in the 83rd minute, reducing Millwall's possession advantage in front of their penalty area, Millwall suddenly launched a wave of deep attacks.
Ronaldinho passed directly over the left wing and passed behind the defender. Carragher and Hyypia were originally marking Henry and Villa. Since Henry and Villa did not start forward, they did not start the explosion immediately. However, later
Haman on the waistline failed to withstand Nedved's forward impact!
Using the entire front line as a guise, Millwall's final offensive focus is actually on the front midfielder, and it is an assault-type front midfielder. With such ability requirements, Nedvěd has no problem at all.
Benitez's face suddenly changed and he looked a little gloomy, hiding his inner worry.
After Nedvěd inserted into the penalty area, there were two defenders chasing behind him. There was a goalkeeper in front of him who abandoned the goal. He did not stop the ball or shoot, but directly headed the ball forward and pushed the ball to the right.
area!
The focus of the audience shifted. They saw Ronaldo diagonally entering the penalty area and stabbing the ball towards the goal before Riise. A group of people from Liverpool, including the goalkeeper, chased towards the goal. Some people slid and tackled, and some goalkeepers flew towards the goal.
Tried to get the ball off the goal line, but it was too late!
Cristiano Ronaldo was brought to the ground by Riise when he completed the stab. His eyes were always focused on the direction of the goal. It was not until he saw the ball rolling into the goal that he got up from the ground with an excited smile and pointed at Nedved.
The two grabbed each other's necks and ran wildly to the corner flag area to celebrate!
"Ronaldinho launched the offensive! Nedved assisted! Ronaldo scored! Maybe this goal will kill the game. There is not much time left in the game. Liverpool will be reversed!"
The familiar sound of cheering sounded from the Lion King Stadium, deafening!
While the fans were celebrating passionately in the stands and almost went crazy, Aldrich called all the players who were warming up on the sidelines back.
With a serious face, he assigned game tasks to the players who were about to be replaced.
The score was reversed and overtaken.
But the game is not over yet.
He wants to finish it off.
Millwall did not delay the game and completed the substitutions before Liverpool restarted the game.
The last two substitutions are available.
Exit Henry, enter Larson.
Exit Ronaldinho, enter Glenchard.
In the new offensive and defensive formation, De Rossila went back to play as a defender, Nedvěd and Alonso acted as double midfielders, Cristiano Ronaldo and Grenjaer were at the winger position, and Larsson and Villa were in the center.
One after the other.
Benitez still looked calm, his heart not beating, but Liverpool counterattacked with all his strength under the command of his simple gesture.
1 point is guaranteed.
rather than the ultimate pursuit.
Liverpool also made two substitutions to re-strengthen their attack.
But there was not much game time left, and their mentality had changed a lot compared to before.
Glenchard is full of physical energy, and Millwall's offense is focused on his side.
When injury time was about to come, the game was really killed!
Glenchard dribbled the ball from the left wing and then cut into the middle. After completing a one-two with Villa, he sent a through ball to Larsson. The latter calmly pushed the ball into the dead center of the goal and successfully sealed the score.
On 3:1!
Maybe just looking at the result, many people would think that Millwall's victory was not difficult. However, Aldridge and Benitez, the two coaches who shook hands after the game, knew in their hearts that the game in the game was thrilling.
Benitez doesn't feel too frustrated either.
In fact, when it comes to pure coaching ability, Aldrich cannot be said to be absolutely ahead of his peers. That is absolutely nonsense.
Because the comprehensive combat effectiveness of a team takes time to accumulate, form, run-in, take shape, mature, and sublime, which also includes the constraints of the players' personal abilities and potential. There are too many uncertain factors, including the thickness of the bench, etc.
wait.
Millwall won. Aldridge has managed the team for more than ten years. The overall stability and team cohesion are important fundamental factors for their ability to stand out in the fiercely competitive European football world and achieve outstanding results and a transcendent status.
After the first game of the Devil's schedule, the gap between Millwall and Chelsea has not changed. Chelsea is still 3 points behind Millwall!
Three days later, Millwall marched north to Highbury.
In view of the fact that three of Arsenal's main players from last season left before this season, the outside world was not optimistic about Arsenal this season. One of the main players in each of the three lines of forward, midfielder, and defender left the team. This is definitely a strain on the team.
It's shocking, but Wenger, with his excellent training,
Arsenal's talent and ability not only failed to compete for fourth place in the league in the new season as expected, but instead secured the top four seats early. As for being unable to compete for the championship, there is nothing wrong with it. Millwall and Chelsea are simply abnormal teams.
, it is really difficult to compete with them.
The three rookies trained by Wenger are Clichy, Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie.
Arsenal have no hope of competing for the league title and have been eliminated from the Champions League.
But in their season, there is still a goal they can pursue: the FA Cup!
Three days after this league game, there will be the FA Cup semi-finals.
The semi-finals will all be played at neutral venues.
Wenger naturally has ambitions for the FA Cup, and the championship trophy is extremely important for motivating young players.
So in the game at Highbury, Wenger sent half the main team and half the substitute team. He didn't dare to give up completely. But he also didn't dare to fight Millwall who needed points to maintain their lead!
Highbury. Full house.
Arsenal fans were extremely unhappy in the stands.
Wenger sent out half the team as substitutes. Although there was an FA Cup semi-final three days later, fans would naturally be very dissatisfied with Millwall, who snatched the league title from Arsenal at the last minute of last season.
!
Wenger kept his frown on the sidelines.
He somewhat confused Aldrich.
Three days later, we all have the FA Cup final.
Although Millwall needs three points, not even one of the main players rests!
Is this the time to give up on the FA Cup front?
For Aldrich, there is no absolute giving up.
On the football field, a formation strategy like Tian Ji's horse racing may not necessarily work.
First of all, Aldridge is not sure whether Wenger will retain his strength. Secondly, if the strength is balanced to play a devilish schedule and the players are in good condition, maybe all fronts will triumph.
But if the state is not good, but you take the initiative to equalize your strength, then maybe everything will collapse!
There are many teams in history that had the chance to win the Triple Crown but ended up losing all four.
Therefore, Millwall played their best in this game. As for the FA Cup semi-finals, he plans to use the substitutes. Even in the semi-finals, even if they are about to face Manchester United.
What Aldridge has to consider is that after the FA Cup semi-finals, there are still three fierce battles!
Play Manchester United at home in the league, go to Turin to challenge Juventus, and then go to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea.
These three games will be completed within 8 days.
Therefore, the main force must rest.
The league has lasted too long, and you can’t lose the league without losing anything!
Compared with the difficulty of playing Liverpool's main team at home, Millwall defeated Liverpool and got rid of the negative impact of losing to Manchester City. Arsenal's mixed lineup of main players and substitutes failed to withstand even the first half at home.
!
"Wenger's formation for this game will definitely be controversial after the game. Millwall scored three goals in the first half, and the game lost its suspense. Although there was an FA Cup semi-final three days later,
Arsenal's home game was defeated by Millwall. This is something that the fans of the home team will never tolerate. This situation is not impossible, but it depends on the situation. If Arsenal all
The team fought hard, and finally unfortunately lost to Millwall with a big score. The criticism from the fans may be much smaller, but now, today's scene is more like Arsenal surrendering to Millwall at Highbury! You know,
In the latest Arsenal fan survey, more than 50% of fans said they hate Millwall more than they hate Tottenham!"
Wenger wanted to catalyze the growth of Fabregas. Today he hoped that Fabregas would experience the big scene and control the scene. However, the young Fabregas disappeared directly in the midfield and was completely defeated by Alonso in the confrontation.
Performance at both ends was very sluggish.
When he walked to the tunnel at halftime, Aldridge put his hands in his pockets and looked normal, while Wenger looked bitter.
He thinks that Aldridge is crazy and thinks that he can still get very good results by playing against Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United for seven days in a row. This is not the beginning of the season, it is now the end of the season, and the team's physical fitness is almost exhausted.
For Millwall, which operates on multiple fronts, it has inevitably reached a stage where players need to grit their teeth and persevere.
Wenger knew he had guessed wrong.
Considering Millwall's schedule, how can Millwall not take a rest?
However, he thought that Aldridge would be very greedy and would send a weaker lineup to the FA Cup final at Highbury if he wanted to play the FA Cup final with the main force, but it backfired!
Rather than the embarrassment of being behind by a big score, Wenger paid more attention to protecting the confidence of young players. He immediately replaced Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie in the second half and tried his best to defend.
Aldrich looked calm on the outside, but was very happy inside.
Thanks to Wenger, Wenger is going to fight for the FA Cup. In the second game of the devil's schedule, there is no shocking battle expected by the outside world. Millwall won 4:0 without any blood and returned from Highbury with a victory. (To be continued, please search Gone with the Wind. Astronomy and novels are better and updated faster!
