Fulham recognized the reality and put on the bus, but this team is only at the top of English League One and the bottom of Premier League in terms of strength, experience, temperament and other aspects. Millwall only spent 65 minutes in the opening game of the new season.
The battle was over in minutes.
In the first minute, Henry opened the scoring.
In the 13th minute, Pirlo scored another victory with a long-range shot.
In the 39th minute, Henry scored twice.
In the 58th minute, Larsson added the icing on the cake and scored the fourth goal.
In the 65th minute, Aldridge made a substitution, and Larson and Southgate took a break.
Millwall scored another goal in the 81st minute, Ronaldinho scored from a free kick.
5:0
Millwall got off to a good start in the London derby with Fulham.
After the game, Fleet Street joked: Tigana has indeed become the second Wenger, but he is not Wenger. Wenger lost 4 when he faced Millwall for the first time, and he lost 5.
Aldrich thinks it is a good thing that there are many London teams in the Premier League in the new season, as it reduces the team's travel schedule. 12 of the 38 league rounds are played in London, which helps the team maintain energy.
Having just sent away the farmer Fulham, they have welcomed the blue team Chelsea.
There are more teams in London, so there are more London derbies.
For a mortal enemy like Chelsea, Millwall's hostility has not diminished by half, but their attitude is enough to despise their opponents.
This season, Ranieri has promoted the rejuvenation of the team, sent away a group of veterans, and promoted mainly young people. It is worth mentioning that Bosnich, who was sent to Stamford Bridge for free by Ferguson in the middle of last season, has not changed his bad habits.
Bridges continues to have scandals, and in the new season, his position in the Blues has been replaced by Cudicini.
Being young has its advantages. It is full of vigor and vigor, which are all expected. However, youth also comes with a price, which is instability.
Especially some young people, even though they are capable, have no history of cooperation. This all needs to be adjusted, and the coach must pay such a price in terms of time and record.
Millwall built the team with young people, and the starting stage was one level lower than the top level. Starting from the English League One, if it started from the Premier League, it would definitely not achieve decent results in the first season. It would be good to avoid relegation.
With a one-year running-in period, and Aldridge's emphasis on professionalism in selecting players, Millwall has the foundation for long-term development. Later, young people continued to enter the first team from the youth echelon. This is also the case with Chelsea.
There is an essential difference in directly building a young lineup. Millwall's young players have been instilled with Millwall's football philosophy. They have time to digest it. They also started from the bench and grew up under the guidance of their seniors, unlike Chelsea.
Introducing Gala, he came directly to an unfamiliar environment and quickly became the leader.
One is a team that is in full swing, and the other is a young up-and-comer in the process of rebuilding. Coupled with the fact that Millwall is at home and has an overwhelming psychological advantage in previous matches, the London derby that is about to follow is a battle between deadly rivals, and no one expected it.
After a fierce resistance for 90 minutes, Chelsea lost again at the Lion King Stadium with a score of 0:2.
In the third round, Millwall faced the Premier League powerhouse Leeds United again.
Leeds United continues to invest heavily in the summer. The arrival of Fowler and Robbie Keane cost the club more than 20 million pounds. The goal of the new season is still to qualify for the Champions League, and this season, there is no doubt that Leeds will
In a life-or-death season, if Leeds United cannot qualify for the Champions League, Leeds United will be unable to repay their high debts. The banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions that originally lent them huge sums of money will definitely come to collect debts immediately, and as a listed football club, they will be unable to repay their debts.
Team, the financial report will probably be very ugly.
Leeds United had a wonderful start to the new season. They defeated the Saints at home and captured the Gunners away from home. They had two consecutive wins and had the same points as Millwall. In the third round, Leeds United visited the Lion King Stadium and O'Reilly's team won again.
To withstand a hellish test.
Aldridge said before the game that the team would not have any emotions outside of competition because of last season's grievances. The game is just a game.
Everyone believed it.
Millwall tortured Leeds United to a pulp last season. Leeds United were fined a huge sum of money again. Bowyer may also be idle due to being unable to play for a long time. Millwall can't hold a grudge against it.
Besides, will it be Millwall's turn to hold a grudge?
It should be Leeds United who are cursing the eighteenth generation of Millwall ancestors every day!
O'Reilly wanted to curse.
He criticized the FA before the game, believing that the FA was favoring Millwall.
This third round of the league is actually an advance of the seventeenth round of the league.
Millwall will go to Monaco for the European Super Cup at the weekend and will participate in the Club World Cup at the end of the year. Millwall applied to adjust the schedule at the beginning of the season. Before the Champions League started, one game in the second half of the first half was adjusted.
By the end of August, Millwall will be in the same round as other teams. After this game, they will play the Super Cup, followed by FIFA match day, which can allow Millwall players to fully rest in the summer.
Afterwards, I will not relax too much and end up being overtired due to make-up games at the end of the year.
Because of this, Millwall, which was supposed to play away in the third round, played at home again.
O'Reilly feels Leeds United are being persecuted by the FA!
Killing the Saints and defeating the Gunners, Leeds United is full of momentum. This is a momentum for the team's morale to rise. Let's play honestly in the third round match against Sunderland. Before the FIFA match day comes, Leeds United is likely to
Start the new season with three consecutive wins!
But damn, Millwall is going to play in the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup at the end of the year. Leeds United are involved in the scandal. After adjusting the schedule, they chose Leeds United!
The FA of grass mud horse.
O'Reilly's criticism brought him a fine of 5,000 pounds, and the Football Association also issued a warning that if he makes offensive remarks again, he will be banned.
At the Lion King Stadium, before the game even started, people knew that Aldridge's words before the game were absolutely against his will.
He sat quietly on the coach's bench waiting for the game to start, not even planning to look at O'Reilly.
If the game is just a game, if there are no emotions other than competition, according to Aldridge's past style, he will definitely say hello to his opponent. It doesn't matter whether the relationship is strong or not. At home, it is a kind of hospitality.
How could Millwall be emotionless?!
It has only been three months since the racial discrimination incident.
Since before the game, the Lion King Stadium has been echoing with songs mocking Leeds United. The fans have used all possible means to attack Leeds United. When their players entered the field, some fans in the nearby stands pointed at them and shouted warnings, while others shouted warnings.
Giving the middle finger is directly humiliating.
The pressure on Leeds United players to come to this hellish stadium is extremely high.
The whole Millwall team is gearing up and never treats the game against Leeds United as an ordinary game.
O'Reilly sat on the coach's bench against the harsh boos and yells from the stands behind him, with a gloomy look on his face. Whether Leeds United's momentum in the new season can be maintained will most likely depend on the outcome of this game.
If there is another disastrous defeat, the impact on the players' confidence will be immeasurable.
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United set up a turtle formation, and Millwall tried to smash the turtle shell.
Twenty minutes have passed.
The score is still 0:0.
"Andy, Millwall's playing style today is really strange. Are they in a bad state? That shouldn't be the case. The first two games were 5:0 and the other 2:0. The team's state is fine. Why are they so close today?"
Their players cannot see individual breakthroughs and have been working tirelessly to hit long-range shots."
"Maybe he wants to use long shots to create chaos. I think this is Hall's request."
Millwall had 8 shots in the first 20 minutes, all from long range!
Ronaldinho, Nedvěd, Pirlo, Gianluca Zambrotta, Schneider, these five players in the frontcourt will take long shots as long as they are sure to hit the goal range.
Of the 8 shots taken, 5 were blocked by Leeds United players with their bodies.
Whenever the ball hit the body of a Leeds United player, huge cheers erupted from the stands at the Lion King Stadium, as if it was not a ball but a human fist hitting the Leeds United player's face.
The Leeds United players played hard, got hit by the ball, and were laughed at by the fans. Gradually they couldn't stand it anymore.
In the 29th minute, Pirlo made another long-range shot. Dacote stretched out his foot to block it. Pirlo smashed the ball, deftly broke through the opponent, and then sent the ball into the ribs on the right side of the penalty area with a straight kick. This was the goal.
The first through ball forward in the game, and it was this first kick that tore apart Leeds United's defense.
After receiving the ball, Larson quickly hit the middle, and Henry followed up with a toe shot to send the ball into the goal.
"It turns out that this is Hall's purpose, to paralyze the opponent with long shots, and then suddenly switch to the offensive method. The Leeds United defenders did not withstand this test in the first thirty minutes, and suddenly they could not keep up with the rhythm. The defense was blown away. Mir
Wall’s style of play is very sophisticated.”
Aldrich is not surprised at all by the team's success.
It is a cliché to say that breaking through intensive defense is a worldwide problem. This is a fact. Millwall was once blocked by intensive defense. The failure to successfully defend the league in 1998 was also related to their frequent encounters with intensive defense. However, they have come a long way over the years.
, they accumulated experience bit by bit, and gradually mastered the art of breaking through dense defenses. Although they may not succeed every time, their winning rate is still very high.
Breaking the dense defense is nothing more than those three axes.
Long shots, breakthroughs, set pieces.
Set-pieces are a common item in Millwall's training system. You should practice them well, but it is not important to reach the top in set-pieces. After all, in the game, except for corner kicks, other set-pieces have a prerequisite that the opponent commits a foul.
If you deliberately emphasize the use of set pieces, you must cause the opponent to foul. Aldridge has never asked any of his disciples to
In the past, when setting kicks were created, if players were given the initiative to "make" set kicks, it would most likely lead the players to go astray, that is, committing a foul. The opponent did not intentionally foul, but he wanted the opportunity to set the ball, so
Falling down, pretending to be injured, rolling around, or screaming may affect the referee's judgment and give a favorable penalty.
That's not Millwall's football philosophy. Maybe some people think that's understandable, but Aldridge just doesn't agree. He appreciates Nedved standing up after falling and explaining to the referee that his opponent didn't commit a foul. Isn't that noble?
?No, it’s just sincerity and maintaining the fairness of the game. If you want to destroy the fairness of the game, then one day when others destroy the fairness, you will not have the confidence to complain or protest, otherwise it will be shameless.
Millwall emphasizes breakthroughs and long-range shots. These two items are also divided into levels. The initial stage is the personal explosion of the star. Once the breakthrough is completed, the long-range shot directly scores the goal.
Millwall has now reached a higher level. Ronaldinho's breakthrough can attract a large number of defensive players, create opportunities for teammates, and break the opponent's dense defensive system. The same goes for long shots. It doesn't matter whether the long shot scores a goal. It can make the opponent
The effect of paralyzing the careless, and then suddenly changing the rhythm, catching the opponent by surprise.
In Aldridge's eighth year of coaching, the team he leads seems to be able to compete for the strongest golden team in history, because they are not only proficient in all kinds of martial arts, but also can flexibly switch between them, from strategic to strategic.
Tactical height to attack different opponents in a targeted manner. (To be continued...)
