After the first Premier League game in October, Aldridge's job became easy because FIFA match day is here again.
He spends most of his time at home with his children. Bonnie is very interested in the piano. According to the piano tutor invited, Bonnie is also very talented. However, I don’t know if the tutor is flattering her when she says this.
.
After the FIFA match day, Millwall ushered in the most important league game since the start of the Premier League this season!
East London Derby!
Chelsea will face Bolton Wanderers at home.
West Ham United has been in the second tier for many years and has returned to the Premier League!
The coach who leads West Ham United back to the Premier League this time is Alan Pardew.
A coach who is actually passionate and wild.
At the pre-match press conference, Pardew vowed to sweep away the decline of the East London Derby over the past ten years!
He also analyzed Millwall plausibly.
It is said that Millwall is a big player in the international football team, and the FIFA match day consumption is serious. After this derby, Millwall will also face the European war, which will distract Millwall. West Ham United will definitely have a chance to capture the Lions.
King's Stadium!
Alan Pardew's confidence in saying this is that he not only led West Ham United back to the Premier League, but also performed extremely well at the beginning of this season. As a newly promoted West Ham United, they are ranked in the middle and look absolutely perfect.
Will not fall into the relegation zone.
Aldridge didn't make any response. In the last round, he didn't mean to ignore Moyes, but in this round, he really didn't take Alan Pardew into consideration.
Opponents who talk nonsense will always appear. There is no need to engage in verbal disputes with them. What's the use of talking nonsense? Let's see the truth on the court.
On the day of the derby, before West Ham United set off, Alan Pardew was like a general leading the army, passionately mobilizing the morale of the whole team on the bus!
But when the team bus crossed the Thames River from the north and arrived at Millwall's site in the south, there was silence inside the bus!
The spectacular scene of empty streets comes into view!
The road leading to the Lion King Stadium was overcrowded on both sides. The London police had foreseen it, so police cars cleared the road and mounted police escorted them on both sides.
Even so, those West Ham United players who had never experienced the East London Derby were still stunned by the scene outside the car window.
For Millwall, there will be no such momentum even if they beat Chelsea!
Why?
Because the Chelsea fan base is actually at a long-term disadvantage in the off-field war with Millwall fans.
Chelsea fans "invaded" the territory of Millwall fans. "Outsiders" want to have an arm-wrestle with "local snakes". Are you kidding me?
Therefore, Millwall fans have been dismissive of Chelsea fans for a long time.
As for the hatred between the two teams, Chelsea is on the "aggrieved" side, so in terms of hatred value, Chelsea ranks first against Millwall!
However, Millwall's number one hate target is always West Ham United!
On both sides of the street outside the car window, Lions fans gathered in groups and sang songs that humiliated West Ham United. They made gestures that mocked them and held up their homemade slogans or graphics.
Almost as soon as it entered Millwall's territory, the West Ham United team's bus was surrounded by thousands of Millwall fans, as if they were watching them heading to the execution ground. One by one, the people in the bus were removed.
Sent to execution!
When he finally arrived at the Lion King Stadium, after Pardew felt the terrifying noise and pressure caused by tens of thousands of fans at the scene, he felt a little short of breath, and he didn't dare to breathe or fart.
Aldrich ignored him, which is how he always treats his rival's coach.
But he still distinguishes between public and private matters. Just like after Lao Lei left West Ham United, the two became friends in private. Even Lao Lei is now able to become the coach of the England national team. With the help of Aldrich, the two still meet from time to time.
Make some confidential communications about the situation of the national team.
"The much-anticipated East London Derby returns to the Premier League! Alan Pardew made a bold statement before the game. He will lead West Ham United to rewrite the ten-year humiliating record! If he can lead the team to attack the Lion King Stadium today, this will be a game
A great victory, but..."
"Hahaha, but let us predict the game calmly. West Ham United wants to conquer the Lion King Stadium. This is simply a fantasy! Alan Pardew has led West Ham United to a good record this season, but,
Not good enough for neutrals to think they can compete with Millwall."
Alan Pardew stood on the sidelines, with countless Lions fans yelling at him behind him.
Most fans insulted him, basically in a mocking tone.
"Who gave you the confidence to think you could win here?"
"Did you not take your medicine?"
"Don't cry after the game!"
...
Although Aldridge himself adheres to some of the club's traditions, deep down, he is not obsessed with this centuries-old club hatred.
To say how much he hates West Ham United, he wants to crush it into ashes and knock it out of the English Championship, English League One, English League Two, and even semi-professional and amateur leagues, so that it will never be able to turn around.
This is a bit fake.
Playing against West Ham United was very popular in the past and winning was the eternal goal. Secondly, there was also the factor of catering to the local fans.
But too much is not enough, even hatred should have limits.
Given Millwall's status and world influence at this time, if we are too persistent in our hatred, the club's image will suffer a certain amount of damage.
It's not like letting go of hatred and shaking hands with the opponent, but the club can't take the initiative to stimulate the fans' emotions.
Excessive hatred will show a very ugly side.
The game kicked off in Millwall's terrifying home atmosphere.
West Ham United took the lead.
Their two forwards pushed the attack forward very quickly as soon as they came up, Dean Ashton and Marlon Haywood.
The former came from the youth training of a small team, but in the past two years he has been praised by many football critics, who believe that he is the second Shearer in English football. He can be said to have the aura of an outstanding local striker. West Ham United will take him
Luo Zhi also spent more than 7 million pounds, but he was still a bit young, only 22 years old at the end of the year.
The latter Haywood is a striker produced by the former powerhouse Nottingham Forest. He was acquired by West Ham United at a low price of 500,000 pounds two years ago. Under the training of Pardew, his career has made rapid progress. Of course, this is compared to the lower-level league environment.
Both of these forwards are tall forwards with strong confrontation ability, both 1.88 meters tall. Especially Marlon Haywood, he looks like a strong rhinoceros!
At the beginning of the game, when West Ham United's attack advanced to the midfielder line, Haywood was violently knocked to the ground by De Rossi while cooperating with Ashton!
Haywood was originally extremely angry. He thought De Rossi did it on purpose, but when he heard the overwhelming cheers at the Lion King Stadium applauding De Rossi's actions, he had to hold back, and when he saw De Rossi's fierce expression,
At that time, I felt a little panicked.
The referee awarded a foul but did not give De Rossi a card, only a verbal warning.
When Pardew saw this scene on the sidelines, he felt a little angry. He wanted to go to the fourth official to argue, but when he turned his head, he saw Aldridge looking at him. For some reason, he stopped.
2 minutes later, Ashton just caught the ball from the sideline, and Silva, who was following him closely, shoveled out of the sideline!
Ashton, who was not yet 22 years old, rolled outside the court and hit a billboard. The referee immediately rushed over and gave Silva a yellow card. Silva showed his hands and walked back to his seat.
As they passed by De Rossi, their eyes met for a moment, and they each nodded understandingly.
Last season's success had an extremely important impact on shaping De Rossi's leadership qualities and building Silva's self-confidence.
De Rossi, who took over the captain's armband this season, and Silva, who took over the No. 6 shirt left by Southgate, are convincing in their general style on the court.
This is an invisible deterrent that makes opponents fearful.
Pardew really couldn't bear it anymore. He walked over to the fourth official to argue and angrily protested that Millwall had violated his players so "brutally" in the opening game!
Aldridge turned to look at Pardew and raised his finger to his lips.
Shut up!
2 minutes.
Just 2 minutes!
Millwall committed two consecutive fouls, almost destroying half of West Ham United's offensive strength!
Haywood and Ashton, the two forwards will find it difficult to play their role in this game.
This is what Aldrich deliberately asked De Rossi and Silva to do.
This is not done throughout the game, only in the first 5 minutes.
Aldridge will not be afraid of Pardew, but with forwards like Haywood and Ashton, 1.88 meter tall and muscular men, instead of waiting for them to use their confrontation ability to gain offensive advantages, it is better for Millwall to strike first
, first shock the opponent!
This method is also one of the safeguard measures for oneself.
You know, Lahm, Schneider, Alonso, the three players in the midfield and backfield, if they were to compete one-on-one with the opponent's two forwards, they would definitely be knocked out of position by the opponent.
The 26-year-old Haywood was doing better. Although he deliberately avoided collision with De Rossi, the 21-year-old Ashton virtually disappeared in the subsequent games. After all, he was young and was really impressed by today's stadium atmosphere and the opening.
I was frightened by the violation.
"Haha, Millwall used a retro traditional English tactic. They used fouls at the beginning to frighten the opponent's key players. De Rossi and Silva fouled successively to create psychological pressure on Haywood and Ashton. They
Is this necessary?”
"Why not? We can imagine that if Haywood, who weighs almost 200 pounds and is 1.88 meters tall, has the upper hand in the confrontation, this will obviously make him more active in the game. This is a trend of confidence.
"
It can be said that the reason why West Ham United does not seem to have to fight for relegation this season and has a tough style of play on the court is not necessarily due to Pardew's tactical command ability, but because West Ham United's lineup is very tough! Especially Striker!
On the bench, there is also Zamora, who is 1.85 meters tall. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
