"The last suspense of the Premier League, Arsenal's decisive battle!"
After the Champions League, Millwall will visit Highbury to challenge Arsenal. No, it should be Arsenal challenging Millwall at home.
Even if Arsenal win, they still cannot close the points gap to single digits. However, Fleet Street still believes that this game will ultimately determine whether the Premier League title will be taken away by Millwall again.
The reason is: if Arsenal win, the morale boost will allow them to explode in the final sprint. On the contrary, Millwall may be affected by the blow of defeat and its final state.
Over the years, Arsenal's fan base has grown larger and larger. The changes Wenger has brought to Arsenal are obvious to all. They have won the championship before and defeated Manchester United this season, but they seem to be powerless in the competition with Millwall.
For Arsenal fans, Arsenal's biggest problem is not that they are inferior to Millwall in the league, but the Gunners' weakness in the European war!
It seems that when it comes to the European competition, Arsenal will not give people a special sense of presence. They just play soy sauce, study with the prince, and repeatedly suffer thunderbolts from the blue in strong dialogues. The fans are a little numb and don't know where the problem lies.
In midweek, Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3:1.
Arsenal lost to Deportivo La Coruna away from home.
David Miller wrote an article and analyzed: The difference in on-the-spot command ability of the coach determines the different fate of the team.
David Miller believes that a team that performs well in the league may not be able to go further in the Champions League, because the league cycle is longer and the coach can make mistakes in one game, but in the Champions League, 90 minutes may be enough.
The time of decision with death.
At the technical and tactical level, in the league, the team can use a set of technical and tactical tactics from the first round to the last round. As long as the overall efficiency of the 38 rounds of the league is good, the team's ranking will be satisfactory.
But in the Champions League, fixed techniques and tactics, lack of on-the-spot changes, and targeted risks and gambling, at this point in the competition, are likely to be the most critical factors that determine the fate of the team.
Perhaps comparing Millwall to Arsenal seems harsh. But Manchester United, which has struggled to perform as well as Arsenal in the league, is not as struggling as Arsenal in the European war.
Now, Arsenal is likely to miss out on the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and will have to fight a final league battle with Millwall. This is a test for Wenger. In such a situation, if they still maintain the same technical and tactical style, they will be defeated.
What are the chances of Millwall making it out of the Champions League and qualifying for the top eight?
David Miller was inspired by this. In particular, he witnessed and repeatedly studied the two games between Bayern Munich and Millwall. Generally speaking, Millwall was 433, Bayern Munich was 4321 and 4312, but the basic formation is just
numbers in
In the use of tactics and changes, the two group matches between Aldrich and Heathfield showed rich and colorful content. Aldrich won, but if he did not have those changes and targeted deployment, the winner might be
It would be Heathfield.
As for why Arsenal is weak in the European war, David Miller believes that Arsenal lacks such changes, which directly affects the head coach's ability to command on the spot.
Going deeper, David Miller is also using this point to prove why Millwall can produce incredible statistics in the league. Millwall remains unchanged from beginning to end. They may be able to score 80 points at the end of the season, but
They took the initiative to respond to crises and scored 82 points before the league was over!
These extra points left Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool far behind and in despair.
Highbury is packed with people. Aldridge’s family also came here to watch the game. This season’s heavyweight competition is one less game. In this game, Millwall can be regarded as the main force and Arsenal is trying to win.
, we should be ready to be strong, and the dialogue between the Premier League and the Premier League has begun.
Wenger shook hands with Aldridge before the game, leading to a battle for the top spot. Over the years, the rivalry between the two has not been as good as the battle between Aldridge and Ferguson, because in the past three years, Arsenal has missed the championship and Asia competition.
"To see Arsenal have a chance to win the league title today, Arsene, I admire you very much."
Aldrich said from the bottom of his heart.
Wenger faced him face to face, and the two of them were still holding hands. He exclaimed: "Thinking about it carefully, I admire you even more. When Millwall was burdened with huge debts to build a new stadium, you dared to sell half of the main team. I, to be honest, don't
dare!"
Aldridge smiled and said nothing. He said he admired Wenger, and he was sincere. Arsenal's financial situation is relatively tight, and its lineup is the worst among the Premier League giants, but it can still reach this point in the league.
As for the period when Millwall was building a new stadium and carrying debt, Aldridge did not hesitate to sell half of the team's main players in exchange for huge income to ease financial pressure and lay the foundation for development. He does not feel that there is anything to be proud of in this regard.
, if he didn't know in his head how many "talents of talent" are waiting for him to discover, how dare he sell people? I don't know how many farces of "players want to leave, but the coach insists on staying" will be staged.
"Is Millwall going to go all out?"
"certainly."
"I'll see you after the game."
"Old rule, don't see me after the game."
Aldridge and Wenger looked at each other and smiled, then turned and walked to their respective coaching benches.
Even though Arsenal are still in the main lineup, they are obviously wary. They lost the Champions League in midweek and there is still the last round left. The hope of advancing to the top 8 is very slim, but they still have to give it a try.
Millwall also plays two games in four days. First of all, their physical reserves are better. Secondly, the Champions League is played at home in midweek. Unlike Arsenal, who went to play away games and exhausted their energy from traveling and traveling, Millwall is in better shape today.
Not surprising at all.
Aldridge admires Wenger because he admires his talent in club management, but at the technical and tactical level of the team, to be honest, Wenger can make Aldridge's expectations drop every year. Today, he
There is no longer any hope that Wenger can catch him off guard at the tactical level.
On the contrary, today, Millwall played away from home, and Aldridge gave Wenger another headache.
This season, the player Aldrich relies on most is not Henry, not Larsson, nor Nedved, nor Pirlo, but Ronaldinho!
Why?
Because Ronaldinho has brought too many changes as he matures!
In the frontcourt, he is omnipotent. He can flexibly use Ronaldinho's abilities to play different roles in different situations. There are also many offensive changes that can be derived!
"Ronaldinho made a cross from the bottom line! From the back point, Larsson rushed to the top! The ball went in! Larsson beat Keown and scored with a header! Millwall took the lead in the 18th minute!"
Wenger stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, expressing his dissatisfaction with the team's defense.
Vieira spread his hands towards Wenger on the court, expressing his helplessness.
In the pre-match deployment, the focus was to guard against the threat of Ronaldinho cutting inside. Watch out for Ronaldinho cutting inside from the wing and into the center to switch positions or cooperate with Nedvěd. But today, it was like a ghost. Ronaldinho acted like a full midfielder.
, determined, he dribbled the ball down and made a pass.
It has to be said that Ronaldinho has been very good at passing the ball, especially the pass around the back to find Larsson. But in the past, it was often a long pass at a 45 degree angle, catching the opponent off guard. Today, it was a pass from the bottom.
Let the opponent's defense retreat back to the goal, and then he will guide it accurately.
Wenger looked up to the sky and sighed.
If there is any instability in Arsenal's defense, the aging Keown is definitely one of them, especially in the sudden stop-and-turn defense, the phenomenon of marking people out of position is increasing.
Millwall's targeted deployment before the game must be to penetrate Keown.
Deliberately avoiding Arsenal's strong defense in the middle of the backcourt, it is the double midfielder composed of Vieira and Parlor.
Because of this, Ronaldinho does not cut inside, and against Vieira's fierceness, this guy is absolutely unstoppable.
Just play on the wing, hit the ball from the wing to the end and pass the ball. Henry's header is not reliable, but he can cover the forward point. Ronaldinho can give him a half-high ball or a cross pass on the ground. Larsson's ghostly movement package
At the back point and in the middle, Nedvěd suddenly intervened from time to time.
Arsenal is very depressed. Millwall took advantage of their strengths and circumvented their weaknesses to the extreme today. You are tough in the middle, but I will not confront you head-on!
"Defense, counterattack from the wing, insert in the center, defend, counterattack from the wing, insert in the center, Arsenal really looks like what David Miller wrote in his column, unchanged, 38 games in a season
If they keep playing like this in a league, with their lineup strength, they will definitely win many games. However, in a strong dialogue, especially when the opponent has both strength and focuses on restricting you, you should always use
A little fresh method, right? For example, today's Millwall, Ronaldinho frequently crosses from the wing. This is not Millwall's main offensive method, but they insisted on using it in this game, and the effect was very good. First of all,
Avoiding being strangled by Arsenal's double midfielder, and secondly seizing the weakness of Keown's defense, Larsson scored a goal with a header, and then stopped the ball to Henry after receiving a cross, assisting Henry
Did Arsenal deserve to lose? I think Millwall deserved the win. It didn't rely on a trace of luck, or even some bad luck. Henry wasted a chance to score a header that was close at hand. God knows it was not even close to the goal.
At three yards, he was able to top the ball. What happened to his head, and Nedvěd hit the crossbar with a long shot. 0:2, Arsenal lost what the media described as
In the decisive battle, there is no need to hype that Arsenal has a chance to challenge Millwall for the throne. Even if the two teams are on the same point now, after the last 7 rounds of the league, 99% of the championship will be Millwall. I hope Wenwen next season
It will allow Arsenal to show some other abilities in the strong dialogue. If your offensive routine can even be guessed by the fans and spectators, then your team obviously has no secrets in the eyes of the opponent."
After the game, Aldridge and Wenger left without shaking hands and Millwall's players celebrated wildly at Highbury.
The league championship is gone and they can celebrate at Highbury, the home ground of the second-ranked team in the league. This is what they discussed before the game. It is a small self-reward. They take the initiative to create something that they will have a special taste in the future.
