--------------------------
Anfield was still singing when the half-time whistle sounded, and this scene touched people's hearts.
"With Heskey's goal, Liverpool equalized the score in 45 minutes. The score is now 1:1. Maybe many Liverpool fans are more concerned about the situation of coach Houllier being sent to the hospital for treatment, but the game on the field was
Liverpool players hope to give their coach a victory. This is the spirit of Liverpool. The coach is fighting the disease, and their players are also tenaciously competing against the most powerful team in European football!"
Aldridge went to smoke a cigarette first. Whether it was him or his colleagues on the coaching staff, Klinsmann and Jensen were also in the lowest mood.
Suddenly seeing a head coach critically ill, happening right in front of our eyes instead of hearing about it through the news, the scene left people speechless and even a little depressed.
Why on earth, in addition to the worries and cares of normal people, there are other emotions lingering in my heart.
Klinsmann, Janssen, Villas-Boas, Barb, etc., like Aldridge, were smoking cigarettes against the wall at the corner of the tunnel, just silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
It seems that the game is no longer important.
Aldrich suddenly showed a wry smile with a complicated expression.
What a mockery.
Xiangshuai's famous saying that has been misinterpreted by the world: Football is higher than life and death!
When someone is really on the verge of life and death, who dares to say that football must come first?
Klinsmann may be the first person here who can sort out his emotions.
He has been a player and knows how difficult it is to be a player. A player's career is very short, but throughout his career, there is a lingering demon, which is injuries. You can't predict it and you can't prepare in advance. You can't tell.
One day he gets injured on the field, and then anxiously waits for his fate to be judged. Serious injuries can cause players to bid farewell to the professional game directly, and even more cruelly, they may endanger their lives.
Even after you retire, some old injuries may still leave behind problems that will accompany you throughout your life.
It is said that diseases are gone like silkworms. No matter how strong a person is, he will still have a fear of diseases after all.
Houllier suddenly suffered a heart attack. This scene was like a player suddenly suffering a serious injury on the field. The worry and fear can easily be infected even as a bystander.
Aldridge finished smoking a cigarette and walked to the locker room, and the other coaches followed him one by one.
Everyone's mind is not on football, and due to Millwall's long-term success and continuous victory, it has accumulated a huge advantage. It seems that in today's situation, winning or losing has become insignificant.
Such thoughts have also spread among Millwall players.
In the locker room, the players were talking in low voices, discussing Houllier's situation.
As the captain, Southgate faced this unprecedented situation today and didn't know how to express his words to his teammates.
The score was a draw, and the team came to Anfield with the intention of winning.
But under the current situation, mobilizing momentum and clamoring for the overthrow of Liverpool seems a little emotionally cruel.
When Aldridge walked in, the players all shut up and looked at each other, wondering if the coach would be furious at them for conceding a goal at the end of the first half.
Obviously, in the last 10 minutes of the first half, the entire Millwall team was a little distracted. Wouldn't Aldridge get angry? No. He just won't get angry unreasonably.
Aldridge found a seat and sat down, leaned down slightly, crossed his fingers together, lowered his head and whispered softly: "What happened in the first half. You saw it with your own eyes, and I don't need to say more, Gilad Holly
You are my friend, I feel sorry for him, worry about him, and pray for him in my heart. He is a good man and a respectable elder."
Aldrich respectfully calls Houllier an elder, which is normal, after all, Houllier is over fifty.
The players nodded, and some wanted to comfort Aldrich, but Aldridge got the chance and continued.
"Today we played against Liverpool. Although an unexpected incident suddenly occurred on the sidelines, my requirements for you will not change. I never said that we must defeat a certain opponent and win a certain game. My judgment on the team
The standard is whether you work hard to play and perform to your own level. The best part of the first half is
The goals you conceded in the later period were not at the level you should have. Gareth was easily broken through by Owen, and Marco also missed Heskey. You have an unshirkable responsibility for conceding the goals. The midfielder's interception was poor.
The forwards were slow to return to defense, and I know the reason. Everyone was distracted, and at the same time, they felt compassion."
Ronaldinho scratched his head, Larsson closed his eyes and sighed silently, Nedvěd frowned, Southgate and Mattra both looked like water...
Aldrich basically hit the mark on the mentality of most of them.
Millwall is the strong one, the king of all!
Victory seems to be easy for them, and the championship is like grabbing something from a bag.
But for Liverpool, perhaps victory in the strong dialogue, especially the victory against Millwall, is a luxury, and even a draw is precious.
What is commonplace in the eyes of Millwall has a completely different value in the eyes of others.
What is this?
Probably like "the mercy of the strong".
Aldridge lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I had the same sentiment just now. I don't want to chase and kill Liverpool. Let's relax and give them a decent draw. It's a blessing and a curse if Houllier goes to the hospital."
Under the unpredictable background, shaking hands and making peace may make the situation look better. This idea existed for a short time before I rejected it."
As soon as the words fell, the players looked at each other, and invariably looked at Aldridge again. He raised his head, with a solemn look on his face, and said: "If, if the situation between us and Liverpool were reversed, it was me who was admitted to the hospital, Milvo."
Our strength was not dominant, but in the final game, Millwall achieved a good result despite the opponent's failure. When I woke up and watched the game video again, I had
What kind of thoughts? What kind of emotions? I thought about it, and then I thought I would feel humiliated. I used my strong will to defeat the disease and woke up, but saw that my team had achieved good results because it was pitied by the opponent.
The result. This is the shame of the head coach. I cannot rely on my own abilities to help the team defeat the opponent, but I have to rely on my tragedy to gain sympathy from the opponent, thereby benefiting the team."
The whole team fell into deep thought.
Aldrich stood up and spoke in a powerful voice.
"What I'm talking about here is not about winning or losing, or the result of a game, but the most basic principle on the football field. That is: respect! Yes, we have compassion, caring, and soft hearts.
Part of us will be touched, but is it right to compete with such emotions and not be able to show our strength? We thought we were showing sympathy, pity, and symbolism.
Provide some support to Liverpool. In fact, we have belittled Liverpool and belittled them. Liverpool do not need mercy. They have a strong will and a strong spirit. They are the Red Army! If one day, when tragedy occurs, you
How would you feel if your opponent showed sympathy on his face and fought you with pity in his eyes? Will you be happy because you defeated your opponent? Or not?"
These words are very resounding.
The players subconsciously shook their heads.
That would make people feel useless.
What does it mean to respect your opponent?
Just pay attention to your opponents and give full play to your own strength. Simply compete and compete heartily!
Care and help, sympathy or mercy should be on the sidelines, not on the sidelines.
Otherwise, after the Munich air disaster, Manchester United should have been directly sent to the Champions League throne. After the Turin air disaster, Turin should not have been counterattacked by Juventus.
Millwall is a civilized team under Aldridge. The style of play is not rough, and the players on the field will not harm the principle of fair play. Therefore, in today's scene, they will not cause a strong atmosphere of hostility between the two teams on the field.
, if the playing style is like that of the Kuang Gang, even if it is a normal performance, the rough style of play will likely be magnified after the game and be condemned beyond the scope of football.
The players' expressions became serious and they put aside their distracting thoughts. Aldridge walked to the tactical board and began to lay out the tactics for the second half.
He is very serious and focused. No matter what the final result of the game is, he can only pay tribute to Houllier in this way now.
This is not to add insult to injury or take advantage of the situation, this is the competitive meaning of football itself.
Millwall should show respect to Liverpool.
Liverpool are special to Millwall.
Millwall won its first FA Cup title from Liverpool, and its first away victory in the Premier League was also won at Anfield.
It can be said that Millwall stepped on Liverpool's corpse to become famous in England and enter Europe.
When the second half began, Aldridge was still sitting on the coach's bench with a solemn expression.
"Liverpool is likely to build on their momentum at the end of the first half and build on their momentum in the second half. From the beginning of the second half, they showed a very brave momentum and showed the majesty of the Red Army that Anfield deserves!"
The excitement level of Liverpool players is beyond the normal level, they are extremely aggressive, brave and fearless, like a pack of wolves.
At this point, even though Millwall has superb football skills, it still has to avoid its edge.
Aldridge rarely chooses head-to-head confrontation. If not necessary, he prefers to win by cleverness.
Liverpool played like crazy, Millwall retreated and seemed to be suppressed by Liverpool.
However, in the 64th minute, Schneider made a long pass from the backcourt. After Larson successfully countered offside, he went to the meeting alone. Facing the attacking Dudek, Larson failed to control the ball in the last step and shot at an angle.
Affected, he did not force himself and chose to cross the middle. Klose followed up and easily pushed the shot into the empty goal. Millwall once again took the lead.
Klose didn't celebrate after the goal, and turned towards the backcourt with Larsson.
The atmosphere at Anfield was not affected by the score at all, and "You'll Never Walk Alone" was heard everywhere.
Liverpool was lagging behind, so they immediately pressed forward with a big attack.
Their assistant coach had no choice but to direct from the sidelines. Basically, he used a mentally stimulating command method, just letting the players rush.
In the 71st minute, Nedved scored in a counterattack. In the 77th minute, Ronaldinho assisted Nedved and scored twice.
1:4
Millwall's three goals in the second half all came in the same way. They seized the space behind Liverpool's aggressive defense and quickly moved the ball to counterattack, which was very targeted.
Aldridge made substitutions when leading by three goals, and he made substitutions every two minutes. He consumed the will of Liverpool players and allowed the game to cool down the opponent's mentality during constant pauses.
However, Liverpool players always persevered. In the 92nd minute, Hamann scored Liverpool's second goal of the game, and the game ended after this goal.
2:4
Millwall achieved its tenth victory in the league in the new season. Liverpool was 12 points away from the top spot and bid farewell to the championship.
