On the match day, the weather was good on the banks of the River Tyne, and the fans at St. James' Park were comfortable watching the game, but they were a little depressed.
They don't like Dalglish. The opponent's cautious tactical style is completely incompatible with Newcastle United's tradition. What makes them particularly resentful is that Dalglish sold Ginola and Ferdinand and then introduced them in the transfer market.
None of the players can live up to their due value.
Newcastle United was criticized for poor defense during the Keegan era, but now Newcastle United under Dalglish can't tell how good the defense is. Looking at the Premier League, the defensive level is quite satisfactory.
The power of the forward line has been sharply reduced. Shearer was injured and missed the first half of the season. He has been unable to regain his form after his recent comeback. This directly caused Newcastle United to slip into the lower half of the standings. The number of goals scored was the lowest in the Premier League, only better than Wimbledon.
Den's firepower is slightly stronger.
This is really a sad reality for the fans. In the "King Keegan Era", Newcastle United's offensive firepower was firmly in the top five and often ranked in the top three. Now it is back to before the liberation. How can the fans bear it?
Come on?
We played Millwall at home today, and the fans couldn't muster any energy in the stands. Newcastle United's offensive threat was not great, and Millwall also took the initiative to shrink. Yesterday, Aldridge defied Newcastle United, which made the opponent very angry. It's really
It was a real fight with swords and guns. The two teams fought fiercely, but there were not many exciting scenes.
Millwall said they were playing 442, but defensively it was more like 451.
The game lasted for more than 20 minutes. Aldrich stood up and called Ballack in front of him, asking the opponent to give him more of the ball. Unless he was absolutely sure, don't try to threaten the ball through the ball.
Today, Millwall's offense relies on two wings. Ronaldinho is on the left and Glenchard is on the right. Ballack always gave the ball a little advance before making a lot of mistakes.
The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield. Millwall switched from defense to attack and then quickly advanced through the wings. Ballack stepped in depending on the situation. Gattuso stayed in the backcourt to defend against the opponent's counterattack.
Ronaldinho and Grenciar performed very well today. Whenever the opponent's attack ended, they turned around and Millwall counterattacked. Ronaldinho and Grenciare's wing breakthroughs were simply unstoppable.
"Ronaldinho took the ball and passed Gillespie with a beautiful pass. He continued to rush forward with the ball and cut inside? Wow, he used a sudden stop again.
Xiang broke through the defense of full-back Watson, dribbled the ball down, controlled the ball while observing, and passed the ball with one kick. The quality was extremely high. Gudjohnsen grabbed the ball and headed the goal! Wow,
The Icelanders lacked some luck in scoring, and the ball slightly missed the post and flew out of the baseline!"
Gudjohnsen turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Ronaldinho, but Ronaldinho didn't see it. He actively ran back to defend in the half court.
Colleagues on the coaching staff saw Ronaldinho's Premier League debut today. Although the game only lasted a few dozen minutes, everyone was satisfied with Ronaldinho's performance.
Aldrich kept applauding from the sidelines.
After more than two years of training at Millwall, Ronaldinho has cut off the free and unrestrained style of South American players, but he still plays gorgeously. This gorgeousness is a perfect combination of practicality.
If you are procrastinating, you will not delay your opportunity in order to pass others.
In fact, dribbling has never been complicated. Was Messi's dribbling in his peak period very fancy? Controlling the direction of the ball and accelerating, the combination of man and ball was perfect, and even God couldn't stop him when he rushed forward.
However, if players want to make passing more simple, it will test the training level of the technical coach. Mullenstine is recognized by the whole club in this regard. He has made many players with fancy skills simpler to pass.
Practical, Ronaldinho is a player who has been carefully trained, and Van der Meyde's technical improvements are also obvious to all.
Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho once again got the ball from the wing. This time he started running away from Gillespie. After getting the ball, he did not choose to continue to break through. Everyone thought he was still
The old routine, after getting the ball, he ripped apart Newcastle United's defense like lightning, but he suddenly stopped and then hit an overhead through ball into the opponent's penalty area.
Van Nistelrooy, who succeeded in countering offside, rushed ten meters forward to meet the falling ball and took a shot. The goalkeeper misjudged the ball and watched the ball enter the goal. Button raised his hand to signal that the opponent was offside, but the linesman gave no indication.
"The ball went in! Ruud van Nistelrooy opened the scoring for Millwall. He would like to thank Ronaldinho for the assist. This Brazilian player is unforgettable and his skills with his feet are obviously superior.
The long overhead pass he assisted just now also reflects his excellent overall view! Why didn't Millwall use him earlier? With him, how could they be defeated by Manchester United and Arsenal in succession?"
If Aldridge could hear the commentator, he would probably be depressed for a while.
Ronaldinho is in good shape now and has high confidence, which was accumulated after the reserve team gradually adapted.
If he really cared about why he didn't use Ronaldinho earlier, Aldridge would curse in his heart: I still want Ronaldo to play.
After scoring the goal, Ruud ran to celebrate, Ronaldinho also participated, and the two hugged.
Although Ronaldinho privately complained to Aldrich in the reserve team that Ruud van Nistelrooy did not assist him, the two of them worked together in a tacit understanding.
Millwall walked back to the dressing room with a one-goal lead.
In the second half, the tactics remain unchanged, shrinking when defending, relying on the two wings to make a fuss when switching from defense to offense, weakening the organization in the middle, and it is enough for the double midfielders to play a smooth transition role.
Newcastle United was lagging behind at home, and they didn't play too fiercely in the second half. At least they didn't press too hard, but their overall tactics were not defensive counterattacks. Therefore, when attacking in a positional battle, their formation was quite satisfactory, leaving Millwall's wingers
The space for players to perform is not too big, but it is enough.
Dalglish kept shaking his head on the sidelines.
It’s impossible to guard against it, it’s completely impossible to guard against it!
Glenchard started from behind the center line and broke through the opponent head-on. He sprinted with a ball on the right, made a fake move in front of the penalty area, then stopped and cut inside, directly pushing Newcastle United's defense back even further.
This created a larger gap in front of the penalty area. Before Batty came to press him, Glenchard knocked the ball across the left wing.
Ronaldinho, who cut in from the wing, rushed over and the ball was so comfortable. It was just like training. He met the ball and shot furiously. The ball flew neatly into the goal.
"Ronaldinho's debut today was perfect! Not only did he provide assists to his teammates, he also scored a goal. This goal gave Millwall a sure chance of victory!"
After scoring the goal, Ronaldinho shook his head and ran to the sidelines, while shaking his hands back and forth while making a "six" gesture.
Millwall dominated both wings today, and Newcastle United lost because of their defense on the wings. They were unable to stop the individual performances of Ronaldinho and Grenciare.
Aldridge sat down and Millwall played easily because the tactics were somewhat retro.
The backcourt players do not attack. The offense relies on the individual performance of the frontcourt players. The two full midfielders deliver shells to the two forwards. This is very simple and has been used by England for many, many years. Millwall is a threat when playing.
The reason is also very simple. The opponent does not set up a bus, giving the wing players room to play. In terms of personal ability, Ronaldinho and Grenchar are both players with good individual abilities. But in terms of rhythm control, the two still lack
Therefore, their breakthrough success rate is very high, but their cross success rate is very average.
In the last ten minutes of the game, Newcastle United was on fire and Millwall was ready.
"Shearer is still out of shape today. After he got the ball, he was intercepted by Materazzi again and again. Now, he can be directly knocked away by Materazzi. Materazzi intercepted the opponent's attack and passed the ball.
To Capdevila on the left, the Spaniard played
His performance against Arsenal was poor and he didn't go forward to assist today. However, there was no flaw in defense. He found Ruud van Nistelrooy in front with a long pass from the backcourt. Van Nistelrooy got the ball sideways and accelerated directly to get rid of it.
Missed Albert, single-handed ball!"
Ruud van Nistelrooy quickly drove into Newcastle United's penalty area. Facing the goalkeeper, the king of the small penalty area, who always had a frightening single-handed ball success rate, hit the goalkeeper's leg with a kick. The ball bounced out.
DeJohnson stretched out his kick before Patton and poked the ball into the empty goal.
Millwall finally defeated Newcastle United 3-0 away from home.
When Aldridge was interviewed in the mixed zone after the game, the reporter smiled and asked: "How was Ronaldinho's performance today?"
"It's okay, pretty much what I expected, but this is just the level he should be at, and it's far from reaching his peak."
"Aren't you satisfied with the performance of passing and shooting?"
"Talk about this game alone, I am satisfied with his performance, but if he stops at this level, then he can only become a good player. I think he should be more demanding on himself, so that
Your name can be associated with greatness."
"Haha, you have such high demands on him. Our colleagues were discussing just now, what did Ronaldinho's gestures with his hands mean after he scored? Was he mocking Newcastle United? But he scored.
Finally, it should be seven, because in the two-legged league home and away, the goal he scored was the seventh."
This has puzzled many reporters, who have no idea what Ronaldinho's gestures with both hands mean.
Aldrich raised his hands, made a "six" gesture, and asked with a smile: "Is this it?"
The reporter nodded and said, "Yes, does this have any special meaning?"
Aldrich replied: "Well, that's right. This is a very common gesture in Brazil. It means: hello."
"Hello? To whom is he making this gesture?"
"I guess everyone."
"Haha, his celebration makes people feel happy."
"Yes, it is a pleasure to watch him play. He spreads happiness to the outside world through football and infects everyone. His teammates also like him very much."
"I hope he will continue to perform well in the future."
Aldridge led the team back to London, and at the same time, the results of the World Footballer selection came out.
The alien Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year award again this year after winning it last year.
The European Ballon d'Or pays more attention to the performance of players in European leagues, but the judges of World Footballer are national football associations and national team coaches. They pay more attention to the performance of the national team and the international influence of the players.
Ronaldo became an international superstar on the platform of Barcelona last year, and then performed well in Serie A. Although Inter Milan did not have the Champions League to play in, Serie A in the Mini World Cup is still the most watched league in the world. At the same time, Ronaldo helped Brazil get away from home. Having won the America's Cup for many years, in terms of national team honors, Larsson really can't compare.
Larsson ranked second in the selection, behind him was Real Madrid player Roberto Carlos.
In any case, this kind of achievement is also very remarkable, and it adds a lot to the Millwall club. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
