When Millwall's starting players entered the field, the commentator focused on introducing the slightly surprising players to the audience.
"If you only pay attention to Millwall's focus battles this season, then a player who appears in the starting lineup may be unfamiliar to you. His name is Miroslav Klose, who replaces the injured Nedved.
Germany played. He came to Millwall two years ago. This season as a substitute for Millwall, he played a total of 18 times in the cup and league, scoring 8 goals and 12 assists. He was very efficient.
Gao is already the next Millwall star candidate that English football is paying close attention to, but he has always formed a double forward partnership with Ruud van Nistelrooy, and has always been a supporter or cover for Ruud van Nistelrooy. Today, Hall will
Van Nistelrooy, who scored a total of 27 goals in all competitions this season, was placed on the bench and chose Miroslav Klose, which is puzzling. I hope his decision will not become the focus after the game."
Millwall's formation today was more like a 4222, with Henry and Klose as the forwards, Van der Meyde and Larsson on the wings behind them, Grenjaer also sitting on the bench, and the midfield partners were Makelele and
Pirlo.
Aldridge believes that Newcastle United is stronger than the other side, and Newcastle United must play a defensive counterattack. The quality of Van der Meyde's crosses is guaranteed, and the effect will be better than that of Grenjaer.
Before kick-off, the big brothers in the team came up to Klose to encourage him, and some told him not to be nervous.
Klose looks serious, is he nervous?
No, it's excitement.
This is the first time he has entered the main lineup and can play with these top players who are full of honors around him. It seems that his football dream has begun to come true.
Aldridge sat on the coach's bench and watched the court. He had high expectations for Klose, and he was delighted with Klose's progress in the past two years. Even because the opponent was focused on playing football, Aldridge couldn't
The requirements for him are even stricter, but this does not mean that he is ignored.
Klose can also be regarded as a transformation. Like Henry, he was born as a winger.
The difference is that Henry plays as a winger in Ligue 1 and Klose plays as a winger in the regional amateur league.
Therefore, there are obvious differences in technology. Fortunately, Klose was still young when he came to Millwall. In the past two years, he has specially strengthened his technical training. Although it is impossible to run with the ball like Henry, but at least his ability to control the ball is greatly improved.
He has improved his ball-playing ability and has achieved excellent results with 12 assists this season.
At the beginning of the game, Millwall took the initiative on the field and controlled the overall rhythm from the beginning. Newcastle United could only defend passively.
The opponents were very hard-working, and we often saw opposing players sprinting 20 meters to grab the ball, but Millwall took their time and steadily controlled the rhythm. Pirlo and Schneider passed the ball back and forth three times, leaving Shearer to run back and forth like a pendulum.
Then, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally to Van der Meyde. The acceleration from slow to fast pace is Millwall's most handy trick.
Van der Meyde took advantage of the opportunity and passed it straight to Henry's ribs. Henry stopped the ball and kicked back before passing the ball to Klose. Klose kicked the ball and lost the pass!
He wanted to pass the ball to Larsson, and Larsson was indeed running forward, but he did not run out of space. Newcastle United's marking of Larsson must be the key point.
Aldrich watched 20 minutes off the court. Klose touched the ball 11 times, and all 11 times he chose to pass the ball. 7 of the passes were successful and 4 of them were turnovers. And these 4 times were all passed forward to Larson or Larsson.
Henry's.
Aldrich is also an experienced coach and immediately saw the crux of the problem.
He stood up and walked to the sidelines, called Klose in front of him while the ball was dead, and simply said: "Think of yourself as a striker!"
After saying this, Aldrich turned around and walked back to the coaching bench and sat down again.
Klose took note of these words, turned around and ran back to the frontcourt.
He worked as a green leaf for one season, always playing for Van Nistelrooy.
If he wants to help Ruud van Nistelrooy, then give it to Henry and Larsson. Needless to say, he will definitely assist them.
This kind of thinking about playing football cannot be said to be wrong. On the contrary, it is a key emphasis in Millwall's training. Offensive players need to have a strong awareness of the ball and cooperation.
But equally, goal awareness is also needed.
In the substitute lineup, Klose and Van Nistelrooy have a clear division of labor. Van Nistelrooy is the main scorer, which depends on Van Nistelrooy's playing style.
In the first team, Klose doesn't have to play like that. As long as he has a sense of scoring and runs to the right route and area, Larsson and Henry will give him assists.
After Aldridge made a point, Klose would take the initiative to take the ball during the offense, and then actively run forward to enter the threatening area after releasing the ball. Newcastle United obviously did not pay enough attention to him.
In the 28th minute of the game, Van der Meyde made a pass from the right, Henry was directly in front of the goal, and Larsson was at the back point. These two people are the key figures of Newcastle United, while Klose outflanked the front point, and there was only one player.
Defenders harassed him for a header, but Klose beat them and headed the ball beautifully into the Newcastle United goal.
After scoring the goal, Klose excitedly ran to the sideline and did a perfect front flip. People who have practiced gymnastics are different. His celebrations are impossible to surpass even if they are imitated.
"Klose! Before the game we highlighted Millwall star Klose. He helped the team open the scoring in the FA Cup final! He also did a beautiful front flip after scoring! He reminds people of two years ago.
In the previous FA Cup final, Ronaldinho came out of nowhere. Today, another young star from Millwall stands out. We will remember his name now, Miroslav Klo
Ze! It is very likely that in the near future, he will shine in England and even European football!"
Seeing this goal, Aldrich stood up and applauded Klose. He was very happy with a smile on his face. Not only was the team leading, Klose could score, but it was also very important for his growth. This is a kind of self-esteem.
Rewards can help him grow up faster.
Many teammates ran to celebrate with Klose. Materazzi rushed up and pressed Klose's forehead with a smile and asked: "Little carpenter, how does it feel to score in the final?"
Little carpenter?
Well, ever since Klose climbed onto the roof to repair the house after training and was discovered by his teammates, everyone knew about Klose's hobbies, so they gave him the nickname: Little Carpenter.
Klose smiled and replied: "Super great!"
Larson hugged his neck and smiled in his ear: "When you get used to this feeling, you won't say it's great."
"What could that be?"
"That's a drug! It makes you want to stop!"
Millwall had a good start, and the players were still fully committed to the rest of the game. For them, the rest of the season was counting down minute by minute.
"Newcastle United averaged 1.24 goals per game in the league this season and conceded 1.56 goals per game. Millwall averaged 2.34 goals per game in the league this season. Although the average number of goals conceded per game is not as high as Arsenal's,
An average of 0.5 is so terrifying, but it is only 0.73. On both offense and defense, Millwall’s data ranks third in the Premier League.
2. Manchester United is first in offense and Arsenal is first in defense. As a result, they lost to Millwall, which is both offensive and defensive. Therefore, in this situation, Newcastle United is passive. It is almost difficult to create shooting opportunities. It is reasonable. This season
Although Materazzi still made impetuous advances or illogical foul moves, his overall performance has exceeded
Exceeding people's expectations, his and Southgate's central defender combination is reassuring, especially the strengthened air defense and confrontation with powerful centers, Millwall's defensive triangle. Materazzi + Southgate
+ Makelele, speed, consciousness, body and other aspects effectively complement each other, so that most opponents will feel the same when facing them.
Despair. Newcastle United counterattacked, and Shearer took the ball. He focused too much on Southgate, who was defending him from the front, and did not notice Makelele's steal from behind. Millwall counterattacked again.
, this is a good opportunity, Newcastle United has a lot of space in the defensive zone, they just attacked, but now they are obviously not returning to defense fast enough!"
In this counterattack, Van der Meyde retreated and received a diagonal pass from Makelele and then passed it to Pirlo in a triangle.
Pirlo turned on the spot and went straight to the wing. Henry, who retreated to the side, dribbled the ball forward to get out of the space. During the movement, Larsson completed the role switch with him, and now Larsson becomes the center forward.
Henry made a cross from the left to the center of the penalty area. Klose, who pulled out of the penalty area, made a diagonal pass without stopping the ball. Larsson successfully cut in and volleyed in the direction of the offside. The ball went straight into the dead center of the goal, and the goalkeeper had no reaction.
"Wonderful goal! Millwall's classic quick counterattack! As long as the opponent's overall formation is stretched out, Millwall can tear apart the opponent's defense layer by layer when rushing forward. The movement of their offensive players, when handling the ball
His calmness and passing route selection were impeccable. Klose's pass to Larsson was just right, and Newcastle United's space was wide open.
It's too big, but there is no way. They can't withstand the frontal impact of the opponent's counterattack. Gullit has always claimed that he wants Newcastle United to play beautiful and romantic football. Maybe Hall's team cannot be called romantic, but they performed
The speed, skills and beautiful football of the team are already the objects that too many teams are trying to imitate but cannot copy!"
Gullit frowned on the sidelines, then relaxed.
If he insisted that his skills were inferior to others, he would not accept it.
He thinks it's a gap in strength.
How much is the entire Newcastle United squad worth?
What is the total net worth of Millwall's players?
Aldridge didn't celebrate too much for the second goal. He just smiled happily and then chatted and laughed with Klinsmann.
Millwall should have won this game.
There is neither the pressure of a dense schedule, nor the influence of a decline in fighting spirit, nor the factors of underestimating the enemy and slacking off.
In the second half, Aldrich directly used two substitutions, taking Pirlo and Larsson off the field.
Gattuso and Lampard came on the scene to strengthen defense, while Millwall strengthened midfield control and slowed down the pace without giving the opponent any fast break opportunities.
Newcastle United made a crazy counterattack in the second half, but were completely destroyed by Millwall's counterattack in the 71st minute of the game. Van der Meyde unexpectedly succeeded in countering offside in the middle, and received Schneider's overhead long flyer to send the ball into the opponent's goal.
The goal sealed the victory of the game.
Aldridge finally asked Ashley Cole to come on and feel the atmosphere of the game.
"At the end of the game, congratulations to Millwall. They defeated Newcastle United 3-0. Millwall won its third FA Cup championship trophy in four years and became the league and FA Cup double champion this season! This is also
Millwall has won the 12th major championship trophy since entering the Premier League in the 1995-96 season. This is definitely a record that can only be achieved by a dynasty team. Aldrich Hall opened up a dynasty for Millwall.
, and how long can this dynasty last? We will witness it together in the future!"
The Lions fans in the Wembley stands seemed to have made an organized arrangement before the game. When the final whistle sounded, the fans in the stands collectively made worshiping movements toward the stadium. The scene was extremely shocking.
Aldrich stood up and came to the sidelines, still calmly putting one hand in his bag and looking thoughtful.
Four years, the ninth major championship trophy.
He didn't count the two European Super Cups and the Toyota Cup.
If he is really creating a dynasty, then this dynasty should not just rule England.
Aldrich looked up at the sky.
European sky.
Are you really out of motivation?
No, I want to create a dynasty that will rule Europe!
