Millwall's second goal left the commentators speechless.
From the moment Makelele brought the ball to the penalty area and took a long shot, until the ball was blocked by Ferdinand and entered the goal, the whole process took between 6 and 7 seconds.
In the process of these 6 or 7 seconds, whether it was Makelele's first long-range shot or Larsson's follow-up shot, or even Nedved's volley action and opportunity, they all looked very threatening.
Makelele's long-range shot made everyone think that Millwall's attack was about to end, but the ball went in...
"Ahem, maybe Ferdinand is still missing the days of playing for Millwall. At that moment he saw the familiar dark blue jersey and saw Makelele, Larsson and Nedved trying so hard to hit the ball.
They scored, so he extended a kick and helped them. This goal was attributed to Makelele, but the biggest contributor should be Ferdinand. I hope Ferdinand can recognize the color of his jersey now, otherwise, Leeds
I'm afraid it won't be as simple as falling behind 0:2."
When Makelele saw that he had scored, he happily ran to the sidelines to celebrate, especially at Elland Road Stadium, where he demonstrated to the home fans in the stands. Those fans who had insulted him, he just wanted to celebrate here, singing and dancing.
Dance, sing and party over the corpse of Leeds United!
The moment O'Reilly lost the ball for the second time, he lowered his head and held his forehead, as if thinking about a countermeasure.
Aldridge put his hands on his hips and smiled.
He is very happy.
This kind of happiness is a different kind of happiness. If he faces a team that has a big team and the team succeeds, he will be happy. But he will not have the thought of the opponent asking for trouble or humiliating themselves.
However, Leeds United dared to fight against each other, and Millwall won two games in less than 20 minutes, which made Aldridge particularly happy. Perhaps it was because of the strategic stupidity of his opponents to dig their own graves.
O'Reilly hasn't figured out a solution yet, and has a sad look on his face.
Leeds United restarted the kick-off, and they actively attacked forward, but they made a mistake in a direct pass just past half-time. Neil grabbed the ball in front of Smith, and this kind of long-distance ground pass to the forward,
It gives the central defender space and time to attack, unless the forward also actively retreats to respond. For example, Millwall's forwards are required to do this and must not wait for the ball on the front line.
It's a pity that Aldrich never thought that Alan Smith, a killer who was hailed as a genius in England, had anything special about him. He was not called a desperate man or something like that. This was a bit far from a forward's job. Time goes back.
For a hundred years, Saburo was a typical example of English football. But now, if success can be achieved just by hard work, the standard of success on the football field is too low.
After Neal intercepted the ball, he passed it diagonally to Schneider on the wing. Schneider started an explosion and directly broke through Duff's defensive line, and then passed it forward and back to Pirlo. The latter knew the fire well and was really efficient and commanding on the court now.
Home, he did not hesitate to kick the ball to the left side of the frontcourt with a diagonal pass.
The rare thing about Pirlo is that he can pass the ball according to the movement characteristics of his teammates. Some players are used to footing the ball, and he gives the ball to their feet. Some players are used to passing the ball in advance, so he passes the ball in advance, which is comfortable.
Incredible.
Ronaldinho cut inside, and the ball rolled on the route of his movement. The moment he got the ball, Ronaldinho also got rid of the defense of full-back Kelly, without deliberately slowing down and then speeding up, dribbling one step laterally.
Face Ferdinand!
Ferdinand was highly concentrated. In a blink of an eye, Radebe was marking Henry. Between him and Radebe, someone came forward. Ferdinand knew who it was without having to guess: Nedved!
Therefore, he judged that Ronaldinho would pass the ball and pass it behind Nedvěd. When his center of gravity tilted, Ronaldinho unexpectedly smashed the ball directly into the penalty area and easily passed him!
When Ferdinand gritted his teeth and chased towards the baseline to block the ball, Ronaldinho suddenly stopped again. There was a pause in the rhythm. Ferdinand stretched out his foot to steal the ball. Ronaldinho gently poked the ball towards the goal, and the ball rolled between Ferdinand's legs.
In the past, Nedvěd got the ball at the front point and the shooting angle was close.
Hardly, but he had attracted Radebe's defense, so he knocked the ball back to Henry who was back on the small penalty area line. Henry was facing the goal and volleyed hard, and the ball flew one meter away from Martin.
After scoring the goal, he still had no reaction. The distance was so close, who had time to judge?
"Henry scored again! Millwall scored two goals in one minute! Is Leeds United going to be bloodbathed? In 20 minutes, they conceded three goals in 20 minutes! But they didn't even get a shot on target.
!”
After Henry scored, he wanted to thank Nedvěd, but the Czech evaded him. Henry chased him again, and Nedved evaded him again. The two seemed to be playing cat and mouse... Ronaldinho and Lal
Sen also joined the pursuit of Nedved. In the end, Pirlo unexpectedly hugged Nedved from behind, and they started playing Jenga on the court.
Ferdinand put his hands on his hips and looked expressionlessly at the Millwall players who were celebrating crazily in the distance.
When he played for Millwall, he witnessed the team's unstoppable sweep across England. At that time, he felt that his opponents were all losers. Today, he realized that he was also a loser.
O'Reilly still had no countermeasures, but he kept clapping on the sidelines to encourage the players. No matter how the tactics should be adjusted, at least he could not be destroyed mentally by his opponents.
The team scored the third goal, and Aldrich still seemed relatively calm.
He just turned around and faced the coaching bench, spreading his hands with a slightly arrogant smile on his face.
Then he looked towards the stands at Elland Road.
The dull faces of Leeds United fans came into view, and Aldridge silently said sorry in his heart.
Sorry, really, sorry!
Yesterday at the press conference, I lied!
Do I like Leeds United?
Sorry, I don't care what Leeds United look like!
Whether it's shit or gold, it has nothing to do with me!
But now that Millwall is here, we have to step on the corpse of Leeds United and continue to smile and continue the arrogant state. God blocks and kills God!
Also, please forgive my PR rhetoric.
I like to praise my opponents. I will give the highest praise to all my opponents, even if it is hypocritical.
This is my philosophy as a head coach. I praise my opponents not to be a gentleman, but to be selfish. I want to make my team's success more dazzling.
Even if Leeds United is not as good as shit, I will brag about you and beautify you. In this way, if my team beats you, victory will be meaningful. If I make you worthless, what is the point of beating you?
So, White Roses of Yorkshire, you are really, really. really powerful!
Conceding three goals in 20 minutes, Leeds United, no matter how arrogant they were before the game, all their pride was shattered to nothing.
Forget about attacking, think about how to defend first.
O'Reilly used the tactics from last season, defensive counterattack!
At this moment, he was probably awakened by reality and realized that it was fanciful to play against Millwall and rely on offense to suppress the opponent.
Defend and counterattack. Regardless of whether the counterattack can break through the opponent's goal, at least not conceding the ball again is the top priority.
When Leeds United retreated across the board and began to counterattack, the initiative of the game fell completely into Millwall's control.
Although the opponent did not have a pure midfielder, Cahill and Bresciano still achieved good results before they retreated to the back line of defense.
In particular, Saburo Smith worked hard to defend, which had a clear harassing effect on Millwall's offense.
However, this is all based on his sacrificing his physical fitness and his role as a forward.
What Duff and Kewell can do on the wing during counterattacks is very limited, because the midfielders have all returned to defense, and Smith can't stand alone in counterattacks. Leeds United's counterattacks are often caused by dribbling by wide players.
The ball was either intercepted in front of Millwall's back line, or the pass could not find a connecting point and the ball was returned to Millwall without even a chance to hit the goal.
Bowyer, a midfielder who is also hailed as a genius in England, seems to be not close to a genius today, but may not even be called a talent.
Millwall took advantage of the situation and carried out comprehensive pressure. They frequently received set kick opportunities in front of the penalty area. Among the first three direct free kicks, Ronaldinho missed one and Pirlo missed two.
When it came to the fourth free kick, it was Pirlo who took the kick. He took a free kick that was actually not ideal, but it hit the wall and deflected into the goal.
Martin went to pick up the ball from the goal for the fourth time, and his whole expression looked numb.
"At the end of the first half, defending champion Millwall visited Leeds United, which was leading 4:0 at home. Thinking of Millwall's state since the new season, if the full-time score was this result, I believe many people would not be surprised.
However, it actually only took them 20 minutes to completely destroy Leeds United, the league leader, and the away team.
Against the third-placed player in the league, the battle was resolved in 20 minutes. This was a situation that no one could have imagined. We are not doubting whether Leeds United can equalize the score in the second half. On the football field, anything is possible. However, judging from the scene, 30 minutes
Leeds United didn't have a single shot after that, and their hope of scoring four goals was very slim."
After the halftime break, Aldrich used two substitutions before the start of the second half.
Lampard comes on, replacing Pirlo.
Enter Grenjaer, replacing Ronaldinho.
The two substitutions left Leeds United players furious.
It is no longer news that Millwall made substitutions in the 60th and 70th minutes. Many strong teams would do this after taking a two-goal lead early on. However, they made two substitutions at half-time, and Leeds United seemed to have suffered great humiliation.
But they had no better way to break through Millwall's goal to save the game.
In the second half, Aldridge saw that Leeds United players began to foul frequently and use killing tactics!
When Alan Smith tackled Makelele from behind and injured him, Aldridge applauded indifferently towards the stands.
He kept clapping, and Fingersmith kept clapping again.
Well done Leeds United!
That's it, you can only treat the game this way.
Aldridge did not argue with O'Reilly or complain to the fourth official. He walked to the midline, faced O'Reilly, and also applauded the opponent.
The live camera focused on Aldridge for a long time, and all viewers knew that the young coach was mocking Leeds United and humiliating the other side in a non-angry way.
Smith was sent off and spat at Aldridge when he was passing by. His action was very obvious. The spit fell on Aldridge's suit sleeve. Millwall's coaching staff and substitutes all rushed out to surround him.
Smith, before the referee came over, Aldridge took the initiative to separate the Millwall people. Then, in full view of everyone, he took off his suit and threw it on the ground. Then he smiled disdainfully, turned around, and walked back to the sidelines.
, pay attention to Makelele’s injury.
Makelele was tackled from behind. He actually dodged, but he sprained his foot while dodging in a hurry. When he came off the field, he whispered to Gattuso for a long time and patted the other's chest to cheer him on. He was leaving the field.
Before walking into the tunnel, he raised one hand high and showed four fingers. (To be continued...)
