"Arsenal counterattacked, oh, the ball was intercepted by Makelele. Now we have a very intuitive feeling. Thinking of Makelele, you can imagine a kind of role on the field in your mind. He just does
For this job, Aldrich Hall kept praising Mark in front of the media... Larson
, chance! Goal! Millwall opened the scoring! The scorer was Larsson, too fast, too fast. Makelele stole the ball and handed the ball to Pirlo. Arsenal's frontcourt players were all there.
Running forward, they had just completed a defense, and the defensive players were mentally relaxed, which allowed Millwall to suddenly launch another attack.
Becoming more threatening, Pirlo's scalpel-like through ball penetrated Arsenal's midfielder and defender lines. Shevchenko and Trezeguet were stared at by Keown and Winterbourne.
But Larsson ran from the left to the right, and for just a moment, Adams didn't follow him, which made the Swedish super shooter
Seize the opportunity with your hands, look at his shooting action, turn around and adjust your steps while running, and use the instep to gently pick the ball to the far corner of the goal. This is not a standard shooting action, but it is the most effective and appropriate.
The way he scored, the ball went in, and Larsson has used his goal to kick off his defense of the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot!"
After scoring the goal, Larsson ran to the corner flag and spread his hands with a smile on his face. The fans near the stands went crazy.
"King of Shooters! King of Shooters! Larsson! Larsson!"
The crowd was excited and kept shouting.
Teammates seem to be used to Larsson's ghost movement after a sudden start, and then send the ball into the goal in the simplest and most effective way.
This is a great morale booster for the entire team.
The midfielders and frontcourt players create opportunities, and the forwards seize them. Everyone trusts each other. There is no need for the crazy lions to worry about their dominance!
Arsenal's players were a little frustrated. Although they didn't blame each other, they still had some inexplicable feelings in their hearts.
The defenders may think that they just managed to successfully defend. Before they could catch their breath, they failed to attack and were hit by a counterattack.
Players running in the frontcourt will also feel that this is a chance for them to counterattack, but the ball was not passed in place. Not only did they run in vain, but now they have to come back to kick off.
Aldrich waved his right fist on the sidelines with a ferocious smile on his face.
That’s right!
The essence of offensive football is pressing.
Arsenal's flaw during this period was their turnover rate when switching from defense to offense.
Pettit and Overmars have just joined the team. One is the main midfielder in defense, and the other is the winger in offense.
As long as they cannot cooperate with their teammates, even if Millwall fails to succeed in one attack, the second and third attacks will destroy Arsenal's solid defense.
That was the goal just now.
Especially Makelele's interception of the ball was simply a masterclass performance.
It can be said that without Makelele, a defensive midfielder who can accurately predict and intercept the ball, Millwall would not have dared to let the two wingers cut inside wildly in the formation, and the full-backs would boldly step forward to assist.
Because without Makelele's ability to intercept key passes when the opponent switches from defense to attack, Millwall's defensive holes will be very large.
His key role is that the opponent thinks they have a good opportunity to attack, but they are always suddenly killed by Makelele. Then the game situation is suddenly reshuffled, and then Millwall launches a fast break, and the opponent is caught off guard!
As the forward coordination between Larsson and Shevchenko becomes more and more mature, they will form a unilateral numerical advantage at a certain moment to attack one side, giving a local numerical advantage, and then cover each other, using the extra
The forward poses a direct threat to the goal.
Wenger came out to press the field, telling the players not to be impatient, but to do their job well and stick to the defensive counterattack tactics.
You must not rush forward and attack like crazy as soon as the ball is lost, otherwise it will be very ugly!
Millwall continued to maintain their advantage after scoring and continued to launch fierce attacks.
Larsson is the most active figure on the front line. He creates opportunities every time he moves, but the two shots after scoring the goal were too focused on the angle and slipped out.
Arsenal's counterattack routine is also familiar to Millwall. Once Overmars gets the ball, Capdevila's defense is the same as Schneider's choice when facing top players. Slow down your speed and don't rush.
Go up and force you to the outside. You have to break through. I have teammates behind me waiting to intercept you. If you pass the ball, it doesn't matter. Our defensive formation has already been set up!
Bergkamp failed to cooperate with his fellow countrymen several times, and the threat of passing the ball was almost zero. Thirty minutes later, Vieira became more and more involved in the attack, which allowed Arsenal to have a chance.
A few decent kicks in the goal.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Millwall repeated its old tricks. Pirlo went straight into the space on the right side of the penalty area, Trezeguet was in the middle, and Shevchenko and Larsson were both here to support.
Adams followed Larson closely this time, as if waiting for him to catch the ball and launch a pressing defense to disrupt the offense.
But just in front of the penalty area, Larson gestured to take the ball, but blocked Adams with his body. When the ball rolled in front of his eyes, Shevchenko came from the side and took the ball away horizontally. Winterbourne
The lateral movement was blocked by Adams, and he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Pettit chased back to block Shevchenko's cutting route, but as soon as he moved, another person was released. The space on the left side of the Arsenal penalty area became wider. Nedved broke into the penalty area and ran diagonally. Shev
Cenko passed the ball behind Keown, and the route was to the back point on the left.
As soon as Keown turned around, Nedvěd had already swung his leg and shot.
The ball flew cleanly into the top corner of the goal, so fast that Seaman jumped up on the spot without touching the ball!
"What a wonderful cooperation. What Millwall is best at is using horizontal tearing to make the opponent's defense wider. As long as you expose a flaw in the penalty area, you will definitely be punished by Millwall. Look at the movement of their offensive players.
As a screen for their teammates, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, and Larsson attracted four Arsenal defenders and consciously crowded the right wing.
There was a loophole in Arsenal's defense on the other side, and Nedvěd stepped in at high speed. His teammates passed the ball. He made it in one fell swoop. This is the power of team football! Arsenal, the Arsenal that people have been looking forward to all summer, seems not as good as Graham.
Arsenal in that era, although their football at that time was dull and boring, you rarely saw their goal penetrated twice in less than forty minutes!"
"Will this be a repeat of the second-leg clash between the two teams in the league last season? Arsenal are already two goals behind, and this game is hanging in the balance again."
Wenger stood on the sidelines with a frosty face, looking purely at the comparison of offensive and defensive numbers. When two goals were conceded, Arsenal and Millwall had equal numbers. But Millwall used equal attacking numbers to play a subtle game.
Cooperate.
But if you compare each player individually, Arsenal's defensive players are also top-notch. You can't accuse them of having problems with their defensive ability, while Millwall's players give the impression that they went to other teams.
He may not be able to perform so well.
This is a reflection of the head coach's training ability.
United, smooth and delicate, Millwall's football style has become a whirlwind and invincible!
Nedvěd ran to the sidelines slapping the team logo on his jersey, and the stands were filled with excitement. The Roar members in the South Stand turned around and formed a shocking scene.
The single-letter words on their backs read clearly: Nedved, God of War!
Arsenal conceded two goals. The attack was also disorganized, which made the more than 2,000 fans who arrived at the scene despair.
They even felt that signing Pires was a mistake. Pires performed amazingly at Millwall, but when he came to Arsenal, he spent half of the season on the bench and half of the game, and his performance was average and unsatisfactory.
Some media described the two players Millwall sold to Arsenal last season as: a worm hidden in a delicious apple.
Vieira is an apple and Pires is a moth because he has not integrated into Arsenal's tactical system and his performance in a few games was extremely poor.
It's the same today. Overmars relied on his individual ability to make a difference on the wing, but Pires was inactive throughout the first half. French compatriot Anelka, who started the game, was invisible in the frontcourt. Bergkamp
There were not many possessions of the ball during the attack, and Arsenal's midfield was completely suppressed.
The first half ended quickly, and Arsenal held on for the last few minutes without conceding another goal.
When Aldridge walked into the dressing room, Millwall's players were excitedly chatting about the two goals in the first half.
"Unparalleled performance! You did a good job in the first half. Arsenal were beaten stupidly by us. They didn't dare to control the ball in the backcourt, blindly cleared the ball and handed the players back to us, but this was not enough. In the second half, we
We must take advantage of the victory to defeat the former king team! We must drain the blood of the gunmen, watch their bodies wither and die, and then sing and dance on their corpses!”
Aldridge had a crazy expression on his face, and the players were also affected. They roared like a group of beasts and nodded one after another.
"That's right, I beat them until their teeth are all over the floor!"
"Tell them who's boss!"
"London's boss!"
"No, boss of England!"
"Won't give them any chance!"
"No mercy!"
...
Pirlo suddenly raised his head and asked: "Boss, aren't you and the Arsenal coach good friends? Is this something the reporter made up?"
As soon as he asked this question, the locker room immediately fell silent.
Everyone knows that since the day Wenger came to England, whenever Aldrich was asked about Wenger, his words revealed a sense of respect.
Aldridge was stunned for a moment, shrugged and said: "Yes, he and I are friends. Because we are friends, I need you to show 100% fighting spirit and strength to defeat Arsenal. This is between friends.
Respect, do you think that what I should do in the second half is to change a few players and play more conservatively to keep the score at 2:0? No, that is simply
Trampling on the friendship between me and him, because this is a kind of contempt, even humiliation. Well, just like if you compete with your friends for a job, will you take the initiative to give up the opportunity to your friends because you are stronger? That is a disservice to him
Okay? No, society is cruel. You must make your friends aware of their own shortcomings and flaws, and then enrich and improve themselves."
Everyone felt fresh after listening to it, and it was thought-provoking after careful consideration.
Aldridge was not teaching the players at this time, so he said to them: "You are right, there is only one king of London, there is only one king of England, and there will always be only one king of Europe and the world! Football It is a world where you and I are the king and the loser. As the defending champions, we must show our kingly attitude and trample all enemies who try to challenge our throne under our feet. We will beat them until they are miserable and beat them until they see us. The timidity made them unforgettable forever, and made all their opponents remember when they retired and in their old age that there was once a terrible team that made them tremble and fear them. What was that team called?"
"Crazy Lion! Millwall!"
The players shouted in unison with enthusiasm and excitement in their eyes! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
