The Lion King Stadium fell into silence for a second, and then erupted into loud boos. Obviously, the home team fans were putting pressure on the referee.
Keep your eyes open and take a look!
In broad daylight, the opponent's players hit someone!
Look, look, look... look...
Well, Lion King Stadium suddenly fell into silence again.
Gattuso was unprepared when Ibrahimovic turned around and hit him in the face with an elbow. Well, the height difference was too big. He lowered his center of gravity and lowered his head slightly. He was really slapped in the face!
The grumpy Gattuso got up from the ground and immediately rushed towards Ibrahimovic. He raised his right hand and strangled the opponent's neck. He cursed at the opponent with a ferocious look on his face: "You want to fight, don't you?"
Ibrahimovic pushed Gattuso's arm away and immediately assumed a fighting posture. Compared with Gattuso's height and size, he seemed to be bullying the younger. In fact, Gattuso was three years older than him.
The Lions fans at Lion King Stadium were silent for a moment, then suddenly broke out into louder noises, and the atmosphere became even more heated.
It seems that none of the previous 45 minutes of games were as good-looking as this scene.
Some veteran Lions fans blushed and directly scolded Arsenal fans and the team in the stands.
Ibrahimovic argued with Gattuso without giving in, and the two came face to face again. In other similar scenes, the players might have touched their foreheads and glared at each other, but with this tall and short combination, Ibrahimovic lowered his head.
Showing slight contempt, Gattuso felt that he had suffered from a lack of momentum. In addition, he had received an elbow earlier and was still red, swollen and sore. He was pushed by Ibrahimovic again. He pushed Ibrahimovic angrily.
Well, Ibrahimovic also pushed him and fought back...
The two of them were at odds with each other a bit like children. One and the other, until Materazzi rushed up to confront Ibrahimovic in a tit-for-tat confrontation, and said fiercely to Ibrahimovic: "Come at me if you dare!"
"
"The game is over, don't leave!"
Ibrahimovic is still not to be outdone.
Pirlo ran close to block Gattuso and prevent the situation from developing in a bad direction. Bergkamp was also sandwiched between Ibrahimovic and Materazzi, turned around and pushed Ibrahimovic back, while Materazzi kept chattering.
Point to what the other person is saying.
Vieira rushed up and faced Materazzi again, and the two pushed each other.
All 22 players from both sides came to the scene of the incident. The referee ran around in the crowd and then went out to find the assistant referee to come in and help.
"Hahaha, there was a fierce conflict between the players of the two teams. There were not many highlights in the game itself. Are the players of the two teams tired? Are they affected by the FIFA virus? Anyway, they seem to have enough energy to fight with each other now!"
Wenger looked extremely ugly. Originally, the referee had already whistled for a foul on Ibrahimovic when he was kicked by Gattuso. Arsenal won a free kick in the frontcourt, but Ibrahimovic's elbow turned back and he might be sent off.
He wanted to communicate with the fourth official, but just halfway through, the fourth official entered the field to "suppress" the player conflict.
Wenger turned to Aldrich's side and spread his hands: "Aren't your players' kicks too dark?"
Aldridge also stood on the sidelines and followed the development. He heard Wenger's complaints. He turned around and walked towards Wenger.
"His tackling skills are not superb, but if he deliberately made a mistake, I think Ibrahimovic would have no chance to stand up."
Although Gattuso has the spirit of a mad dog, he is not a mad dog. His stealing skills are not as outstanding as Makelele's. Ibrahimovic has good ball protection ability. Gattuso made a mistake in stealing and kicked the opponent's foot, which is a foul.
.
It's that simple.
You can criticize Gattuso for being reckless, impulsive and technically rough, but he is really not a butcher type of player who plays with black feet. Like Keane, his kicking is to destroy the opponent's leg. Will Gattuso do it in the future?
Do it, Aldridge doesn't know. At least after growing up in Millwall these years, Aldridge doesn't believe that Gattuso would do this.
From another angle, if he really wanted to kick him, could Ibrahimovic turn around and knock him down with an elbow? He must have been lying on the ground holding his ankles and patting the turf.
"The referee's penalty standards against him today were too lenient. He fouled Zlatan at least 4 times!"
Wenger's complaint was justified. In the second half of the first half, Gattuso almost clung to Ibrahimovic, colliding, confronting, making small moves, blah blah blah, Ibrahimovic was provoked and irritated, which is a process of brewing and accumulating emotions.
.
Aldridge shrugged and wrote lightly: "Arsena, look away and think on the bright side. At least you know that Ibrahimovic will lose control of his emotions in such a situation. You can focus on teaching him in this regard and help him improve.
Improve the overall level, right?"
After hearing this, Wenger almost wanted to have a real PK with Aldridge on the sidelines.
Arsenal have to thank Millwall for co-writing, right?
Wenger said angrily: "Aren't you the same? Gattuso is still out of control!"
Aldridge said nonchalantly: "It's really different! He was knocked to the ground during a non-game. He is a man who is angry. This time, I will not blame him."
Wenger was almost furious, shook his head and said: "Lie."
Aldridge asked helplessly: "Why should I lie to you? Should I say to Gattuso: Hey, in that situation just now, you were knocked down. You should have been lying on the ground covering your face and pretending to be hurt and aggrieved to win sympathy."
, waiting for the referee to send Ibrahimovic off, is this right?
Sorry, the core of Millwall's football is tenacious fighting, rather than abandoning manly dignity in exchange for utilitarian gains on the field. If I really said that to him, maybe tomorrow he will submit a transfer application for a player like him
To put it bluntly, it would be too cowardly to not fight back after suffering a loss."
Wenger stopped talking now.
I have to admit that what Aldrich said makes sense.
In front of more than 60,000 people in the audience and in the sight of countless viewers on TV, Gattuso was knocked to the ground by Ibrahimovic, perhaps unintentionally, but he couldn't keep his face.
After all, the game had already been suspended at the referee's whistle, so why should we swallow our anger after receiving an elbow?
After the players on both sides were separated on the field, the referee first gave a yellow card to Materazzi and Vieira. The two were not the protagonists of the conflict, but they did push each other.
The referee reached into another pocket and took out the red card. He first showed it to Ibrahimovic, then turned to Gattuso and gave the same penalty.
The two teams each have one yellow and one red, and each plays 50 big boards.
Now it's better. Originally affected by the FIFA virus, neither team could show their best strength in this game. Now, Millwall's main midfielder and Arsenal's main center in the new season have been sent off, and their strength has been further weakened.
The main defender on the previous side and the main midfielder on the other side had yellow cards on their backs. The game was really chaotic.
After the referee made this penalty, he blew the whistle to end the first half. He wanted the two teams to go into the locker room to calm down.
However, both Millwall and Arsenal were filled with resentment. Some were given cards, others were sent off, and they both walked into the tunnel together.
After the two teams entered the tunnel, Ibrahimovic and Gattuso, who had been sent off, almost walked side by side. As a result, there was really nothing to worry about in the tunnel, and the two of them started to grapple with each other!
The teammates on both sides who took the last step into the player tunnel also exploded with several explosive barrels, making the chaos even greater!
The shouting and yelling continued, and the shadows of people kicking and kicking people in troubled waters flashed, but those who started fights like Larsson, Klose, Bergkamp, and Seaman repeatedly suffered unreasonable disasters. Many people who did not know whether they were friends or foes suffered.
fist.
"Calm down, calm down..."
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
The players tunnel was in chaos. Aldridge and Wenger stood together again at the exit of the tunnel. Millwall staff, referees, etc. all went to stop the conflict between the players of the two teams. The two coaches unanimously agreed.
He lowered his head and sighed.
Even though every time Millwall and Arsenal meet, they are exaggerated by the outside world as a London derby full of hatred, but in fact, the two teams themselves have no emotional basis for grudges. However, as Millwall becomes more and more successful, in the
England is firmly suppressing Arsenal, a traditional giant that is determined to revive, in London. The match between them is becoming more and more explosive. Hatred is also brewing in game after game, especially in key games.
The red and white of the Gunners, the dark blue of Millwall, the colors of the jerseys have an increasingly hateful connotation.
It took a full three minutes for the players from both sides to return to the locker room, and the chaos was calmed down.
Aldridge seemed to turn a blind eye to the chaotic situation in the locker room and said nothing.
As a team sitting on the throne, Millwall wants to continue sitting down elegantly and cleanly, which is simply impossible.
There is only one champion, and there is only one king. On the way to the throne, they broke the old order and completed the regicide. Now they want to defend their royal power. How can they not be bloody? As a strong contender for the championship, they also
Arsenal and Chelsea are rivals in the same city, Manchester United are far away in Manchester, Liverpool is next door to Manchester City and other teams. The conflicts between them will inevitably overflow the stadium and spread to the off-field.
Henry was punched by someone unknown, and the corners of his mouth were cut and swollen. Materazzi was probably at the front. There were several obvious footprints on his socks and shorts, and there was oozing on the socks on his back calf.
There was blood, but it shouldn't be a major problem, it was just a skin injury.
Aldridge did not stimulate the players' emotions during the halftime break. If he did, God knows whether the two teams would directly break out into a more intense brawl on the court in the second half.
After the players are angry, let them turn their attention back to the game, which will stimulate their stronger desire to win.
At least there was no difficulty in Arsenal's tactical adjustment. Wenger simply didn't need to make any substitutions. They were missing a center forward and continued to play like that.
Millwall replaced Larsson, who had played two games with the national team, with Neal. After adjusting the tactical formation, it was not much different from Arsenal.
As soon as Neil came on the field, he brought Bergkamp to the ground, almost causing another conflict between the two teams. The referee directly warned Neil with a yellow card and warned the players on both sides that they must restrain their emotions, otherwise, he will not show any mercy.
Show the red card!
The technical and tactical performance of both teams in the second half was lackluster. Both teams had four defenders and two defensive midfielders. They had few offensive forces, and both teams were sent off. Their offensive performance was quite weak.
But when the game ended 0:0, Millwall's players and 90% of the crowd at the Lion King Stadium began to cheer.
The result of the game was a draw, but the Millwall players were able to hold their heads high and show their contempt for Arsenal.
"Millwall shook hands with Arsenal and took one point each. At the same time, Millwall tied AC Milan's unbeaten record of 58 league games! This is a great record, and Millwall now hopes to win in the next
This record has been refreshed in every league game. In that case, who can question their name as a dynasty? They set the winning streak in the five major European leagues, and now they have to hit another new record!"
