In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Aldrich still stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle. Although he was leading by one goal, it was often not safe at this time.
The fans in the South Stand were singing and dancing. The die-hard Lions fans no longer took Arsenal seriously.
Indeed, Millwall is unstoppable now. There are so many experts in their team, all of them are outstanding stars with special skills. In the eyes of the fans, every player on the field has enough reasons to become a legend of the Lions. As long as they
Always stay here!
As for Sheringham, who was still missed a few years ago, many fans who have just fallen in love with the Lions will probably ask: Who is that?
They were unable to link Tottenham's striker with Millwall.
It seems that even if Sheringham returns to Millwall, he is not worthy of the main position.
I don’t know what kind of adjustments Wenger made during the halftime break. In the second half, Arsenal strengthened their deep attack in the middle. Vieira’s position in the attack was one of the examples.
Aldrich was watching the game from the sidelines. Seeing Vieira's general style and accurate passing and receiving, he secretly praised the Frenchman, but he didn't feel particularly sorry.
Vieira has potential and has shown some strength early on, but it will indeed be a waste if he stays at Millwall, because without his position, he can only play as a substitute.
Aldridge has considered this carefully. Although Vieira also has organizational skills, there is still a gap compared to Pirlo. If he and Makelele partner, the defense is top-notch, but the creativity in offense is not
There are some shortcomings. Aldridge has Makelele who is dedicated to defense. He feels that there is no need to add a layer of protection. If it is playing in an international competition, it is no problem to line up in such a defensive-oriented manner, just like the French national team ten years later.
But the source of creativity still comes from Zidane.
Vieira can have a sky at Arsenal. Aldridge thinks this is good and Wenger will make good use of him.
Arsenal strengthened their attack in the middle. In contrast, Millwall was much calmer and their attack was not too fierce. However, they clearly strengthened their control.
Their offense began to shift to the right, with Pirlo frequently hitting the ball to the right. Schneider, Shevchenko, and Nedved concentrated their offense on this side, making Winterbourne extremely embarrassed.
Shevchenko received the ball and passed it to Nedved, then turned and ran into the penalty area. Winterbourne had to rush to the penalty area to compress the space in the penalty area. Nedved defended in Platt.
Next, he easily passed the ball back to the right. After Shevchenko cut inside to attract the attention of the defense, space immediately appeared on the left side of Arsenal. Schneider came up and swung his leg in place to make a high-quality cross.
The ball is delivered.
Shevchenko didn't even jump at the first point, and it was obvious that he couldn't catch up. He turned to seize the opportunity to attack at the second point.
Trezeguet and Adams in front of the goal took off together, but neither of them touched the ball. Seeing that the ball fell to the back point, Bald was originally staring at Larson.
Larson's speed was too fast. When the ball fell from the sky, Larson was already one position ahead of him, and then he jumped and flew out.
Seaman was helpless. Looking at the ball flying into the goal like a cannonball, he took two steps hastily and helplessly shook his head with his hands on his hips.
"Larsson scored twice! Schneider's beautiful assist. This is Larsson's 22nd league goal this season. He is far ahead of Shearer in the scorer list. It seems that this season's Premier League Golden Boot
There is no doubt that it will happen in the Millwall team. Trezeguet and Shevchenko are both 6 and 7 goals behind him. Millwall's three goals
Halberds, who have scored 53 goals in the league, and there are still more than ten rounds in the league, can Larsson be the top scorer in Europe? The 25-year-old has continued his excellent performance from last season this season. He is in the Hall
He has performed as a top shooter and can score goals with both head and kick. He is simply the forward that every team dreams of!"
Aldridge happily applauded on the sidelines, and other coaches were also excited. Barb even rushed over and shouted to Aldridge: "Give him more opportunities and set a goal record in the league!"
Aldridge didn't answer, but after thinking about it, the league's tasks were indeed not heavy anymore. He could let the players in the team create more scoring opportunities for Larsson, and the tactics could also be tilted. However, he did not guarantee it.
Just hide this idea in my heart for the time being.
There is no way to challenge the top league goal record. It has been dusty for almost 70 years. At that time, there was an Everton boy who scored 60 goals in the league. That was also a European record and will probably become history forever.
Arsenal fell behind by two goals, and Wenger began to mobilize his troops, sending in Pires and removing veteran Bald to make the formation more balanced.
When Pires came on the field, there was still a burst of boos, but that was all. After Pires got the ball, the fans didn't bother to boo him.
He and Vieira submitted a written application for transfer, which was a blatant break with the club. Naturally, the fans could not forgive it, but now the fans are more laughing and ridiculing.
If you think we crazy lions are just a small temple, go and hug your thighs. The wealthy Arsenal will still be double-killed by us this season!
After Pires came on the field, Arsenal's formation changed to 4231, with the bilateral midfielders and No. 9 Bergkamp playing more in the frontcourt, but they were unable to achieve the desired effect.
When defending, Nedvěd and Trezeguet pressed Vieira. He can play the ball, but getting away is not his strong point. The important task of connecting the midfielders fell on his shoulders. After a stoppage error, he was directly beaten by Trezeguet.
Guy stole the ball from behind. After Trezeguet stole the ball, he passed the ball to the nearest Nedved.
The Czech took the ball and passed it back, and the ball returned to Pirlo's feet.
Vieira lost his composure after losing the ball, rushed to grab it anxiously, and pounced directly on Pirlo. When he saw Pirlo in front of his eyes, his heart suddenly dropped.
Behind you!
Just when he realized the problem, Pirlo's ball had already passed three meters away from him.
Nedvěd moved to create space and then received the ball. As soon as this person passed the ball, Nedved gained more space in the frontcourt and completed the turn after taking the ball. Facing Pula who rushed towards him laterally.
Specially, Nedvěd started to accelerate. He used his explosive power to leave the opponent behind and dribbled the ball to face Arsenal's defense.
The entire defense line seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. Larsson cut inside, Trezeguet was at the forefront and was guarded by Adams. Shevchenko made a diagonal move but stopped midway. Keown was deceived and distanced himself from him.
At this moment, Nedved passed the ball to Shevchenko, and then quickly rushed forward. Shevchenko used his ankle to hit the ball directly into the penalty area. The unmarked Nedved passed the one-two
After cooperation, he got a one-on-one ball and sent the ball into the goal with a blast from the near corner.
"The third goal! Vieira's mistake allowed Millwall to seal the victory. They played a classic counterattack goal. Trezeguet, Nedvěd, Pirlo, and Shevchenko had a kick between them.
The quick passing of the ball was dizzying. After their performance was over, the ball went in! Nedvěd also scored his first goal of the season.
With his 10th league goal, Millwall’s Magic Four Kings continue to perform brilliantly. As Andy said when he praised Pirlo, indeed, I think Pirlo’s name should be added among these Magic Four Kings.
Although he only has four assists in the league this season, his role is very obvious!"
With more than 20 minutes left in the game, Millwall was leading by three goals, and Arsenal began to show signs of collapse. Wenger stood up with a stern look on his face. He could not watch the team that had finally stabilized be beaten.
A thousand-mile collapse. Otherwise, the next dozen rounds of the league will be over.
But he could only make some gestures to ask the players to stabilize their defense and counterattack, but they were already three goals behind. Is counterattack useful?
Platt was injured in a fight and the team doctor came in. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aldridge called Pirlo in front of him.
"How does it feel?"
Pirlo asked blankly: "How about what?"
"Is there a lot of pressure in midfield?"
"It's not big, no one is trying to rob me."
With Nedvěd suppressing Vieira and Pratt in the front, Pirlo is very relaxed in the back. Even Mason and Pirlo can play with each other as long as they cooperate with Makelele. He is really relaxed.
.
Aldrich said to him: "Increase the range of activities and rush forward after passing the ball forward."
Needless to say, Pirlo knows what to do. He is obviously smarter in football now and knows how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses. He is not good at dribbling the ball to break through, but he can achieve the advancement effect through short passes and cooperation. He is not good at performing in the penalty area.
, so he worked hard on positioning shots and long-range shots, which can also pose a direct threat to the goal.
Pirlo returned to the field after taking the order.
Platt was fine and returned to the court after some adjustments.
Arsenal's game situation has been declining all the way. From the beginning of the game, they were still able to compete with Millwall. After Millwall's first goal in the first half, their state began to decline. It seemed that they were hit hard by a heavy blow.
There is no way to recover after being beaten.
Of course, this is related to Keown's yellow card and the physical decline of Platt, Mason and other players.
The excellent physical advantage of Millwall players will always be shown in the second half of the game.
At this time, Arsenal retreated across the board in order to avoid defeat, while Millwall played more and more energetically.
The Tridents squeezed into the penalty area at the same time, causing everyone to pile up in the penalty area. Capdevila, who came from the wing, swept the ball across the penalty area. Nedvěd looked like he was going to get the ball under Vieira's defense, but
But he deliberately slipped his foot.
Vieira's eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked back in astonishment, only to see a figure on the rolling path of the missed ball as expected, and he raised his foot to take an impeccable long shot.
The ball does not rotate in the air, but strangely, the trajectory of the ball in the air seems to be a little floating. Although it is not obvious, it is not invisible to the naked eye.
Seaman's sight was disturbed by the dense crowd in front of him. The sudden long shot caught him off guard. When he saw the ball, he saw that the ball had already rubbed the inside of the upper corner of the right goalpost and penetrated into the goal.
"Pirlo scored! This is his first league goal this season. The young guy deserves this goal. In other words, we have been waiting for his goal for too long. Andy, you want to treat him
What did you say?"
"This world-beating kick is just like his performance at Millwall. It is unforgettable. This goal is a reward for his hard work. I have always believed that his role in the Millwall lineup is no less than that before him.
Any player, but a lot of experts don't agree with me and I hope this Italian guy can shut up those people who don't understand anything."
After Pirlo scored, he ran to the sidelines very excitedly and roared towards the stands.
He has indeed waited for this goal for too long. No matter what, he has waited, which will give him more confidence to face future games.
Other teammates ran over to congratulate him one by one. Finally, Pirlo calmed down some of his excitement and trotted to the coach's bench to give Aldridge a hug.
"Thank you, boss."
"Thank you, where are you now? Listen clearly, Andrea, this is not even the beginning. If you are satisfied, I have made a mistake!"
A smile appeared on Pirlo's young face. Aldrich pushed his back and asked him to return to the court. He himself also had a smile on his face.
