----------------------------------
Arsenal was the first to concede the goal due to an opportunity created by Grenciar on the left. Arsenal quickly adjusted its defensive strategy and successfully restricted Grenciar's performance in the subsequent period.
This guy's combination of man-ball and dribbling is an advantage, but his disadvantages are also obvious. As long as the defensive players prevent him from cutting in, and he can make a pass from the bottom, the defense will basically be declared successful.
After a period of observation, Aldrich made adjustments on the sidelines.
Let Grunchar and Larsson switch positions, Grunchar moves to the right, and then have Schneider come up to support him during the attack, so that the wing attack can have more changes.
He didn't dare to let Gianluca Zambrotta on the left go directly to assist. After all, there was Overmars on the same side and the threat was too great.
With such an adjustment, the entire offense will regain its vitality and no side will be frozen.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Millwall intercepted the ball in the middle. Southgate intercepted Vieira's through ball to Bergkamp, and then passed it directly to Larsson, who retreated from the frontcourt to meet. Larsson backed Wen.
Teburn, swept the ball directly to the other side,
After receiving the ball, Glenchard rushed forward with the ball. Dixon prevented him from cutting in. He stopped the ball and moved the ball to the right. Schneider took the ball away and passed directly down the bottom. Henry grabbed the ball and nodded the ball.
The attack failed and Seaman blocked it with his hand.
The ball bounced out of the penalty area and landed at the feet of Pettit. Just as he was about to turn around, Nedvěd stretched out his kick from behind and poked the ball into the penalty area. Henry met the ball and knocked it across. Larsson cut inside and fired a powerful shot.
Man made another successful save, and his two consecutive successful saves greatly boosted Arsenal's morale.
Seaman hugged the ball and threw it to Adams. The latter passed the ball directly to the frontcourt. Bergkamp retreated and stopped the ball casually. Then he passed it straight to the left wing.
Before Schneider could return to defense, Pires moved the ball forward and directly passed Millwall's entire defense line.
However, he was on the wing, so Millwall's defense had plenty of time to retreat.
Pires dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area. When Materazzi returned to defend and prepared to press closely, Pires stopped and pulled the ball back to Anelka who was following up.
"Will Anelka shoot? Or break through? Pass! Anelka passes the ball to Bergkamp who comes in behind!"
After receiving the ball, Bergkamp broke through Southgate directly. Southgate was originally marking Anelka. Makelele retreated to the penalty area to defend Bergkamp head-on. The latter cleverly turned around to protect the ball.
Turning back again, he faked the angle and then poked the ball with his toes. The ball rolled towards the back of the goal. Bute went to chase the ball, but Pires, who was forward, stretched out his foot from the back and swept the ball into the net.
"Arsenal equalized the score! The scorer was Pires. I don't know whether Bergkamp shot or passed the ball. In short, Pires outflanked the ball to the back point and scored the goal. The coordination of this goal was very beautiful. Arsenal saw it.
Hope of winning the championship!”
After Pires scored, he just celebrated with his teammates in a low-key manner, and then walked to the backcourt with his teammates.
In any case, he is a player who came out of Millwall. When he usually visits Millwall, he will visit Aldridge in the locker room about an hour before the game to show respect and gratitude.
Today is the championship battle. He did not go to the Millwall locker room, but he did not celebrate wildly after scoring.
Aldrich's expression did not change at all.
Henry and Larsson failed to seize the opportunity and turned around. Arsenal counterattacked from the wing to equalize the score. At this moment, Arsenal's ability to seize opportunities was slightly better than Millwall's.
Don't be discouraged, just keep attacking.
If you want to completely restrict Arsenal's offense, then Millwall can only play defensive counterattacks, but Arsenal also plays defensive counterattacks. It is hard to say whether Millwall can win the game.
Now we are taking risks. If we don’t take risks, why should we compete for the league championship?
After Arsenal equalized the score, their momentum seemed to overwhelm Millwall's, and their attack was slightly fierce.
In the 38th minute, Overmars shook off Larsson's return defense on the wing, and then cut inside to break through Gianluca Zambrotta. The Italian stuck closely to Peter Pan, and after the physical pressure, he predicted that the opponent would make an emergency stop.
.The moment he stopped the ball and was about to turn around, Zambrotta stretched out his foot to steal the ball, and then dribbled the ball forward. Larson also started to rush forward. Zambrotta passed the ball diagonally to Pirlo, and Pirlo stopped.
After the ball, he made a precise pass to Larsson who penetrated the opponent's ribs into space.
Keown stuck to Larson and blocked the opponent's shooting space. However, Larson's spiking rhythm stopped, distanced himself from the opponent's defense and then pretended to shoot.
Keown then moved in to block his shot. Larsson accelerated and broke through the opponent's defense, almost facing the goalkeeper alone, but the angle seemed to be very small.
Larsson unexpectedly passed the ball. The ball was not fast, but it crossed the goal. At the back point, Nedved almost jumped towards the goal post, and then headed the ball into the goal!
Vieira, who had been following Nedved, slapped his thighs with both hands angrily.
When Larsson passed the ball, Nedved started first, then Vieira followed, but he couldn't keep up!
Who would have thought that Larsson wouldn't shoot?
"Nedved scored! His 17th goal in the league! Incredible data. As a midfielder, Nedved has scored 17 goals in the league this season! This goal reflects the
The tacit understanding between Ersson and Nedved was terrible. Nedved seemed to be injured. He hit the goal post after succeeding with a header. He showed his bravery with his actions! But this price,
Is it too big?"
Nedvěd scored, and the stands were filled with jubilation, but the Lion's Den quickly fell silent again. The Lions fans stared worriedly at Nedvěd who fell in front of Arsenal's goal.
He never falls down easily. If he falls to the ground, he must be injured!
Millwall's players gathered around Nedved, and Aldridge stood on the sidelines unable to smile.
When Nedved stood up, there was a wave of applause from the stands.
Nedvěd put a hand on his right shoulder, which appeared to have been injured when it hit the goalpost.
When he came to Aldridge, he said directly: "Boss, I'm fine. I can fix my shoulder and continue playing."
Team doctors told Aldridge that Nedvěd had dislocated his shoulder and may have a minor bone fracture.
Aldridge turned to Nedvěd and said: "You take a rest. I have the final say on this matter. Even if I lose the game, I will not regret it. You can blame me, but my decision will not change."
Nedvěd and Aldrich looked at each other for three seconds, and finally reluctantly accepted the decision to be replaced.
Would he blame Aldrich?
Even if you want to, it is difficult to have such a mentality.
Before replacing Lampard, Aldridge gave him simple and clear instructions on the sidelines.
"When defending, you put yourself in the midfield, so you can return to the penalty area. When attacking, you put yourself as a forward, do you understand?"
Aldridge no longer uses Lampard as a substitute for attacking midfielder. I don’t know why, but Lampard’s direct impact on the goal from the attacking midfielder position is unsatisfactory, so he is asked to serve as Pirlo’s substitute. Unexpected deep insertion has the effect.
Better, but slightly lacking in organizational creativity.
Lampard nodded seriously.
"Millwall made a passive substitution in the 40th minute. Young player Frank Lampard came on to replace Nedved who left the field injured. The score was 2:1. Millwall's prospects for winning the championship are very optimistic."
After Lampard came on the field, Millwall had to first stabilize the negative impact on morale caused by Pavel Nedvěd's injury, so the overall formation first shrunk back.
At the end of the first half, Arsenal had possession of the ball, but did not play a threatening offensive. After being cleared by Millwall three times in a row, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Aldrich at least saw signs of it at the last moment.
Arsenal cannot be allowed to attack wildly. In other words, Millwall cannot engage in defensive counterattacks. As long as the opponent's momentum is strong, it may be difficult for them to attack tough battles, but if they accumulate an advantage to a certain extent, they may score.
Aldrich does not need to boost the team's morale during the halftime break. But he must make key adjustments in tactics.
Originally, Glenjar came on to replace Ronaldinho, which caused a decrease in offensive flexibility. Lampard replaced Nedvěd, which caused Millwall's offensive flexibility to drop another step. Aldridge needs to re-
Lay out an offensive strategy.
After the halftime break, players from both sides walked out of the tunnel and returned to the field. The fans in the stands were enthusiastic and cheered for Millwall with the greatest fanfare. Arsenal's momentum was suppressed.
Arsenal kicked off in the center circle. After a simple pass, Anelka took the ball in the frontcourt, took two steps with the ball and chose a long shot from 40 yards in front of the penalty area!
Extremely high quality.
Fortunately, Bute was focused and blocked the ball out of the baseline with one palm.
"Wow, Anelka almost scored a goal with a world wave!"
Arsenal went to take a corner kick, and the defenders also came up to participate in the corner kick attack.
Overmars kicked the ball out, and a figure in the crowd jumped high, grabbed the point and headed the ball towards the goal.
There was nothing Bute could do this time. The opponent hit a close corner, and it was still a blind spot.
"Adams! Arsenal captain Adams scored a header, and he equalized the score again for Arsenal. Just at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal rewritten the score, 2:2. They are not far away from the league championship! Wait, at Old Trafford
News came from Germany that Manchester United also scored a goal at the beginning of the second half. The score between Manchester United and Tottenham is now 1:1. Millwall, Arsenal, and Manchester United all still have hope of winning the championship. If Manchester United wins, and this
If the game is a draw, Manchester United will be crowned league champions!"
Just a few seconds after Wenger celebrated the team's goal, his assistant ran up to him and told him about the situation at Old Trafford. Wenger's expression suddenly changed from joy to slightly depressed.
Tottenham are messing around.
If you are ahead, move the bus, move the bus!
Now that there is so much time left, Manchester United has equalized the score, and they are still at home. How much will Tottenham have to resist?
Adams' goal and Manchester United's equalizer made a small number of Lions fans in the stands start to worry.
The score was equalized at the beginning of the second half. Millwall's players were not affected, and they did not care at all about the progress of Manchester United's score.
Today's game against Arsenal is the final!
And it is a final that must be won within 90 minutes!
Arsenal's momentum was fully up, but Millwall did not show weakness and stepped up the midfield fight after the restart.
With Lampard and Makelele in front and behind, with Pirlo in the middle, Millwall gradually began to gain the upper hand in controlling the midfield, and its routines in attack were not difficult to predict, passing and controlling to find openings in the opponent's defense.
, using the ball transfer to involve Arsenal's defense. Once the space in the ribs appears, Larsson and Grenchar will move forward firmly to create threats.
The situation on the field has become a bit stalemate. Millwall's offensive routine lacks changes and its offensive power has declined. Aldrich finds it difficult. Simply relying on this kind of transfer of the ball to tear up the space to play through balls, Arsenal has become the best player in Europe this season.
The solid defense line that everyone admires is probably very difficult to penetrate.
