Millwall's substitution at this time is understandable. Not to mention Aldridge, 99% of the coaches would probably replace an offensive player with a defensive player at this time to stabilize the victory.
O'Reilly himself thinks so too. Even if he takes a step back and Aldridge replaces Klose with an offensive player whose physical fitness has declined, it would still be acceptable.
But somehow, O'Reilly may have thought of the record-breaking massacre by Millwall at home last season. If Ronaldinho was not injured and the racial discrimination incident among Leeds United fans had not happened, Aldridge would have lost 4:1.
It is true that he has stopped his efforts and saved his strength, but now, even O'Reilly subconsciously feels that Aldrich replacing Klose is not to stabilize the victory, but to expand the victory!
This is the reason why O'Reilly is so angry. He can't kill without a kill. Aldridge leads the Lions to attack away from home. It's not enough to defeat Leeds United. They also have to beat up the lost dog and further humiliate Leeds United!
But when he made eye contact with Aldrich, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, and the anger that was about to burst out dissipated, replaced by a kind of powerlessness and frustration.
Aldridge was originally attracted by O'Reilly's move of calling a substitute player. This was also a subconscious reaction. When the opponent substitutes players, he needs to adjust. What type of players will be replaced, and what kind of tactical changes will occur, which will make him
I have confidence in my heart.
The way he looked at O'Reilly was ordinary, but in O'Reilly's eyes it was interpreted as a kind of detached indifference. The indifference of a strong man after possessing overwhelming strength.
O'Reilly suddenly had the illusion that no matter what he or Leeds United did, they could not change their fate. Before the game, he deliberately kept a low profile and said that Leeds United only had a 30% chance of entering the final. Maybe this was not a low profile, but an excessive blind arrogance!
No matter how Leeds United adjusts, Aldridge plans to make substitutions before that.
"Millwall made a substitution, Klose came on. Gattuso was substituted! Millwall abnormally replaced defensive players with offensive players, and they were three goals ahead. Leeds United also made substitution adjustments, Ole
Leigh...replaced striker Viduka! At the same time
Cahill and full-back Kelly were replaced, and three defensive players were replaced. Well, if Leeds United made the substitutions between the two teams first, and Millwall made the adjustments later, this would be reasonable. But now it seems that Austria
Riley made an incomprehensible substitution decision."
At this point in the game, O'Reilly was also a little dizzy. The team was lagging behind and there was an accident on the court. After he made the substitution, he almost wanted to slap himself twice!
This substitution was simply a shameful failure!
From a tactical point of view, Millwall has also strengthened its attack, leaving more space for defense in the backcourt. Leeds United is now desperate to give it a go and try to reverse the game. But at least it can play fast break, as long as there are enough offensive players.
A face-saving goal or two is not out of the question.
But O'Reilly really didn't expect Aldridge to dare to withdraw from the midfielder and go forward!
He had forgotten that back then, Aldrich dared to let the goalkeeper and defenders rush forward, leaving West Ham United with an empty half and an open door. Now, this risk is nothing!
Replacing Klose was not something Aldridge did blindly. Just now, Southgate rushed up from the backcourt and tore apart the opponent's defense. Instead of letting the defender rush up like this, it would be better to directly go up to the forward. Anyway, Leeds
United's defense is getting more and more chaotic.
Now seeing that Leeds United have replaced three defensive players, the only ones who can attack are Kewell and Smith on both sides. Aldridge simply pointed at Materazzi and asked the other party to rush forward. To Leeds United
Fishing in troubled waters in a restricted area.
The hearts of the Leeds United fans in the stands were bleeding. At this stage of the game, Leeds United had no fighting power at all. The opponent did not want a defensive midfielder and asked a defender to rush up and play forward. It is not that Aldrich is crazy, but that
Leeds United collapsed!
This is Elland Road Stadium!
"The scene was so crazy. Millwall was leading 4:1, but they were almost defenseless and suppressed Leeds United's attack. If Millwall was not stimulated by the previous turmoil, no one believed it. Absolutely no one believed it. Maybe in their hearts
, this is no longer as simple as a football match, but a fight against racial discrimination!"
Leeds United strengthened their defense. At least 7 players on the field were weak in offense and strong in defense. However, the defense at this time was unorganized. It was the most primitive and amateur defensive strategy. Wherever someone was missed, they rushed over to intercept without any clues.
There is a sense of teamwork as a whole.
Millwall controlled the perimeter, and the opponent added an extra defender. Veteran Radebe and Mills, who replaced Kelly, were both good defenders. But when the entire defense line was in chaos, they could only use eye-catching methods to limit Mill.
Wall up.
Pirlo shot from a long distance and hit the opponent's player. Southgate controlled the landing point of the rebound and passed it forward. Schneider went inside and shot from a long distance, reflecting the bottom line, and took a tactical corner kick.
After passing the ball, Materazzi beat Ferdinand to header, but the top of the ball was higher than the crossbar.
Leeds United started to stall for time, which allowed the team to take a breath and stabilize their mind.
Goalkeeper Martin delayed the kick for a long time before taking the ball away. Smith, who was alone in front, could not catch the ball and Millwall continued to attack.
If you didn't look at the progress before the game or the scoreboard, you would still think that Leeds United was in the lead and Millwall was in ruins. Leeds United seemed to have a tragic tone.
In the 85th minute, Zambrotta's long-range shot from outside hit Ferdinand and bounced out. Nedved grabbed the spot and volleyed the ball without stopping, blasting away Martin's fingers in a violent way. Millwall
Another city!
"1:5, Leeds United..."
The commentator didn't know what to say.
In the Elland Road stands, the packed scene before the game no longer exists. The stands are now half empty, and the number of spectators is still decreasing rapidly.
The Leeds United players couldn't wait for the game to end quickly. This game was simply torture for them. Seeing that there were only a few minutes left in the game, they simply fell back in the backcourt to kill time.
Millwall didn't give up yet. Klose Henry and Larsson rushed to the front line to grab the ball. Nedved, Materazzi and Pirlo formed a blocking line outside the midfield.
Hart made a blind clearance under Larson's pressure. The ball passed the center line and was snatched by Schneider, without giving Kewell any chance to touch the ball.
Schneider dribbled forward quickly and simply ignored the space behind him. As soon as he reached the 40-yard area, a group of Leeds United players rushed to grab his ball. Schneider made a decisive cross and the unmarked Pirlo took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball.
.
Larsson crossed into the ribs diagonally to counter offside, creating a terrifying scene on the same line.
Larsson was dribbling the ball, Henry Klose was outflanking him in the middle, Nedvěd was playing from behind, and even Materazzi was rushing forward quickly behind Henry.
They were like a pack of wolves, surrounding Leeds United's goal!
When Martin saw this scene, he calmed down and became calm and cold. He neither abandoned the door nor made any save action.
Larson made a cross pass, and Klose took advantage of the situation and volleyed the ball into the goal. Henry, who couldn't stop, took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation to hit the ball that bounced out of the goal. He outflanked Ned, who was going around the middle.
Wade followed up with a kick. Not to be outdone, Materazzi also took a kick. However, he kicked the ball away from the goal. God knows whether he did it intentionally or the defender used his kick to clear the ball.
One kick, two kicks, three kicks, four kicks... Millwall seemed eager to blow away Leeds United's goal!
Of course, the score rewrite only counts Klose's goals.
"1:6, Millwall scored another goal at the last moment. The Leeds United back line seemed to have accepted their fate after seeing Larson successfully countering offside, resulting in all Millwall players outflanking the goal. 1
:6, This should not be a true reflection of the gap between the two teams. Judging from the situation on the field before 60 minutes, even if Millwall wins, it is reasonable to win about two games away from home, but
The Leeds United team's mentality became unbalanced after Bowyer's red card and the penalty kick gave the opponent the lead again. O'Reilly did not make a decisive adjustment at 1:3 and conceded three goals in a row in the last 15 minutes. This must be due to the head coach's on-the-spot response.
There is a direct relationship, but we also have to say that Hall seized on Leeds United's own chaotic weakness and pursued the victory to turn a successful victory into a crazy victory."
The live camera focused on Aldridge to see how he would react when the team scored goals like this, but Aldridge did not celebrate once. When the game was about to end, Aldridge looked up to one side of the stands.
, there was the stand where Ronaldinho was racially profiled, and this scene was captured by the live broadcast camera.
The stands on that side were completely empty.
Compared to almost 45 minutes ago, when Aldrich stood there and faced the scene of crazy discrimination and shouting of Taiwan fans dancing and dancing, the reversal effect of these two scenes is visually shocking enough.
The referee did not allow additional time. When the time came to 90 minutes, he blew the whistle to end the game.
The Leeds players bowed their heads and quickly left the field with a sullen expression, while the Millwall players did not leave in a hurry. Many players looked a little dissatisfied and felt that the referee should give at least 5 more minutes of stoppage time. After all, the game was interrupted and there were many goals scored in the second half.
The two teams had another substitution, so it would be unreasonable not to make up for one minute.
Give them another 5 minutes, no, 2 minutes, and they will definitely score another goal!
A player spat on the court, and then his teammates came together and walked to the stands where the fans of the away team were, where they wanted to thank the fans and have a party!
For Leeds United fans, today's game is another disaster, but for the Lions fans who came from afar to cheer for Millwall, today's game will be unforgettable.
The crazy lion showed his momentum and used his strength on the court to tell his opponents: Don't mess with me!
In the box, Ridsdale sat in despair without saying a word. Before that, he had a tearful expression and a heartbroken lament. At this moment, his expression was pale, as if he had been struck too hard.
sluggish.
This is not the first time that the Mad Lions have trampled Los Blancos, but this time, the blow they brought was heavier than the massacre at home in the league last season.
This should have been a brilliant season for Leeds United, a peak that has not been seen in the past ten years!
The blooming white rose was trampled to pieces by the mad lion, as if even the roots were in pieces, and its vitality was severely damaged.
Arthur finished watching the ball and it was time to leave. He blinked, as if he was transitioning from the state of watching the ball to the state of normal life. He stood up, reached out and patted Ridsdale's shoulder gently, and said: "Don't worry, football field."
Yes, winning or losing is normal."
After saying that, Arthur left calmly.
Ridsdale turned his head to look mechanically. At this time, he could not tell whether Arthur's words were sincere comfort or profound sarcasm!
Winning and losing are normal.
But we lost 1:6 at home, the game was not over, and almost all the home team fans left the stadium. Is this normal?
Could it be that Arthur's subtext is: Millwall comes to the away game and gives you six, it's normal!
