"The first half of the match between Millwall and Liverpool ended. Liverpool, who were playing at home, were three goals behind and one man was sent off. Houllier's team was like a piece of disorganized sand. They had no ability to resist the defending champion and no way to create anything for their opponents.
Trouble, maybe Houllier was justified in complaining about the schedule before the game, they
They met the defending champion too early, and the team was completely unintegrated. Some of the starting players were newly promoted young players, and some were new players transferred from the summer. They had not even played together for a month.
Now being completely suppressed by the top teams in the Premier League, everything seems natural."
No matter how Aldridge boosted the morale of the players before the game, after halftime, they may not have lost interest, but they were completely relaxed.
Defeating Liverpool and conquering Anfield is not a difficult task at all...
Especially after seeing the opponent's poor performance on the field in person, I couldn't compare Liverpool to the giants.
Aldridge did not expect to take a three-goal lead in the first half, and Liverpool was sent off one man, so some adjustments were made during the halftime break to allow the team to stay focused and play slowly in the second half.
This is also a good environment to improve Pirlo's ability to grasp the overall rhythm.
At the beginning of the second half, Millwall began to steadily control the rhythm of the game, improve the passing success rate, and would not risk penetrating balls. Pirlo was dispatching in the midfield, and he could not be seen in the 10-minute game or maybe 9 minutes.
Regardless of the characteristics, passing, running, catching, and passing again, the speed has been maintained at a slow and steady level, but for one minute in these 10 minutes, Pirlo suddenly accelerated. It can make the whole team
The attack suddenly accelerated and the threat was greater than the sustained fast pace in the first half.
This change of pace and the acceleration of the attack place higher demands on Pirlo, and he is improving bit by bit, which makes Aldridge very pleased.
Liverpool had one less player to fight, but the players on the field did not give up. They fought actively and fiercely, but it was like a machete player meeting a Tai Chi player. They couldn't use their strength, and the rampage had no effect at all.
Instead, they often pounce too hard and Millwall seizes the opportunity to break through the defense.
In the 57th minute, Larson cut inside again and blasted Mateo, forcing Hyypia to cover up. Hyypia was heartbroken. He knew that his cover-up would leave an opening in the middle, but
He has to come over to cover, otherwise? Let Larsson shoot directly?
Sure enough, as soon as he moved, midway through the rush, Larson passed the ball over the top, and the ball flew over Hyypia's head. Henry headed the ball in front of the goal, completely unmarked. His head
The ball was tipped high.
"Wow, Henry, he missed a golden opportunity!"
Henry rushed into the goal after heading the ball, holding the net with his hands and lowering his head, looking annoyed.
It seemed that no one was putting pressure on him or keeping an eye on him, but he lacked a sense of certainty in the final blow.
When the game reached the 60th minute, Aldrich made a substitution.
Klose and Larmour were substituted, and Henry and Nedvěd came off to rest.
Nedved scored twice and hugged Larmour when he came off the field, encouraging him in his ear.
Henry and Klose high-fived each other and Aldridge said to the slightly frustrated Henry: "You are not replaced because of your poor condition, but because we have a game in four days."
Henry nodded and sat on the bench. In fact, apart from not scoring a goal, his performance was very good. He was involved in running positions and covering for his teammates. He did a good job. If he could score a goal, then he would be the best in this game.
The rating will be very high.
When Larmour came on the field, the Anfield stands were as usual as most Red Army fans did not recognize this young man.
However, the eyes of the Liverpool players on the field stayed on Larmore for a long time.
Gerrard, Simpson, Owen, and Carragher were substituted.
Once upon a time, the four of them were teammates with Larmore in the youth team. And in that generation of youth teams, the most shining figure was Larmore, who was known as a prodigy and Owen could only serve as a substitute for him.
Larmore!
The human situation is very strange. When Larmour recovered from his serious injury, Owen began to take over. When Larmour went to Doncaster on loan and sank in a simple and crude tactical system, other teammates got new contracts one after another.
When Moore returned to Liverpool on a half-season loan with 0 goals and 0 assists and was kicked out, the other teammates lamented that a generation of prodigies had died.
When Larmore comes on, the 22-year-old looks more like 25, or older, because he looks mature and calm, like a calm lake.
Finally, he stood on the Anfield turf!
However, he has become an enemy of Liverpool and will never be able to put on the Red Army jersey again.
His childhood dreams were completely shattered the moment he was kicked out. When he was lonely and confused and almost gave up on himself and walked into the abyss, Millwall opened another door for him, making him cheer up and work hard silently. A prodigy? There are no prodigies anymore, there are some
Just an ordinary Larmore, a grateful and down-to-earth Larmore wearing a dark blue shirt.
Pirlo still led the team at a tepid pace. Ronaldinho also began to withdraw his strength, running to catch the ball and kicking the ball. He completely handed over control of the rhythm to Pirlo, constantly stretching and tearing Liverpool's defense back and forth.
.
Larmore scored a goal in the last game, and Aldrich wanted to see more of his performance on the court. Now that he came on the court, he got into the role very well, running to respond, and hitting the ball without waiting for the opponent to get close.
The players in the frontcourt interact well and link together.
At first glance, there is nothing special about him, especially his personal performance. He has not made a dribble, and the football will not stay at his feet for more than a second. Who can pay special attention to him?
However, when he is on the court, he can prevent the ball from reaching a deadlock. He can actively run and get out of the way. The activity at one point can often affect other points, especially the position of the attacking midfielder. If
If the midfielder is stuck in his position and is completely targeted, then the entire frontcourt offense will be stuck in a quagmire. Even if he plays from the wing, he will not be able to find an opening when the ball is played from the wing.
It is obvious that Larmore's teamwork, awareness of catching and delivering the ball without the ball, overall view, and game reading ability are better than Aldridge expected!
In the 79th minute, Liverpool made a long pass from the backcourt. Materazzi was distracted and headed the ball back instead of clearing the ball. The high press made the distance between the goalkeeper and the back line longer. Materazzi's header
, became an indirect assist, and Irving quickly started to chase the ball.
The boy who chased the wind ran fast, but was always just a little behind. Bute was fully focused. After Materazzi's header, he immediately abandoned the goal and expanded the defensive area. He tackled the ball when he was less than two meters away from Irving.
The shovel was returned to Materazzi in front, who then kicked the ball to Schneider on the wing. Then he raised his hand to apologize to Bute.
Bute quickly got up and showed a helpless expression towards Materazzi.
No matter how the two people communicated with each other, Schneider handed the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo saw that Liverpool's formation involuntarily moved up due to this attack, and the defense was loose, so he immediately accelerated and passed through the ground.
He crossed Liverpool's midfield line and handed the ball directly to Ronaldinho on the wing.
Ronaldinho quickly started after touching the ball and cooperated with the approaching Klose in a one-two. He continued to move laterally and passed the ball to Larmore when facing a double team.
Larmour stopped the ball, and from the corner of his eye he saw Gerrard rushing towards him.
Gerald? Long time no see!
Larmore knocked the ball back with his back heel, and Pirlo pressed forward. At the same time, Larmore quickly moved forward. Simpson, who was dragging in front of the defender, passed him and Larmore glanced at him.
Simpson? I really didn’t think you could do much in the midfield at that time, but you can actually start in Liverpool?!
Simpson chased back. His chase gave Hyypia the illusion that Simpson could completely target Larmore. However, Simpson did not chase completely. When Larmore and the back line were intersecting and parallel, Pirlo did not pass the ball.
Give it to Larsson, Ronaldinho or Klose, and you'll be looking for Larmour!
Simpson jumped up in the middle and tried to clear the ball with a header. As a result, he jumped up and the ball fell into the penalty area. Before it hit the ground, Larmore had already stepped aside and adjusted his shooting posture. He did not exert any force to face the falling ball. The arch of his foot was
The ball was refracted and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal. Westerwerder made a wrong judgment and could only watch the ball and sigh. He thought Larmore would stop the ball!
"4:0, Millwall scored another goal in the 80th minute of the game. The scorer was substitute David Larmore. He has scored goals as a substitute in two consecutive games. He is in great shape! According to our understanding
According to the news, this young player was once a player in the Liverpool youth training, but he did not get a professional contract from Liverpool. He was abandoned by Liverpool and then entered the Millwall youth training. This season, he officially played for the Millwall first team.
It can be seen that he has received a new lease of life at Millwall!"
After scoring, Larmour did not resent Liverpool for giving up on him, and celebrated wildly at Anfield. He jogged to the sidelines, took off his jersey and faced the camera with a smile.
On the T-shirt he wore under his jersey, there was a simple message written: Thank you, Najib!
In the conference room at the Millwall Leo training base, Nagy watched the team's game with the youth team coach. When he saw Larmore's words of thanks in the camera, he closed his eyes and showed an intoxicating smile.
.
It was Aldridge who made the decision to bring Lamore to Millwall, but in the past time, it was Nagy who had been by Lamore's side, teaching him carefully, accompanying him out of the shadows and getting back on his feet.
Aldridge was genuinely pleased with Larmour's actions.
I'm happy, but I won't consider letting him play the main role because he scored as a substitute in two consecutive games. Obviously, the main targets of Liverpool's coverage are Ronaldinho, Larsson, Klose, and Larmour.
If you are ignored and have stronger teammates as cover, you can unexpectedly become the point of attack for a fatal blow.
If the attack just now was replaced by Nedvěd, Hyypia would definitely not expect the midfielder to restrain the opponent, not to mention whether Simpson could catch up.
But such a good substitute is what Millwall needs.
The Liverpool players were crestfallen, especially Owen, who stared from a distance at Larmour, who was surrounded by his teammates in celebration.
The picture that came to his mind was the scene when Aldrich came to the door in person but was turned away.
If he could turn back time, would he still refuse?
"At the end of the game, the defending champion Millwall defeated their opponents with the same score in two consecutive rounds. Tottenham and Liverpool became the victims on their way to defend the title in the new season. The two games of 4:0 also announced that Millwall has won the new season.
What kind of momentum will it use to face all competitors, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Leeds United, which are known to be strong in the new season?
As a team that is eyeing the championship, they may only play Millwall twice throughout the season, but Millwall's unstoppable momentum will bring them unimaginable mental pressure, but this is the Premier League, this is strong
Only by playing the player's game, overcoming pressure and surpassing yourself can you be proud of the crowd!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
