At the same time this weekend, another news came from Spain: Real Madrid officially announced that head coach Del Bosque was fired!
Real Madrid lost 5:9 in two rounds, and the team needed a scapegoat for the loss. So in the past two days, newspapers in Spain have been criticizing Del Bosque's formation, on-the-spot command, etc. All of his "crimes" are obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
It can be concluded that this may be Real Madrid's top management using the media mouthpiece to build momentum and give Florentino an excuse to drive away Del Bosque, a coach he despises.
The household affairs of the Spanish giants have nothing to do with Aldrich, and he is not interested in commenting.
However, Fleet Street linked the matter to Aldridge. In Aldridge's "coach killer" kill list, Del Bosque was honored.
It even related the coaching change news in Barcelona. Rexach was also responsible for the record-breaking loss in the quarter-finals. Barcelona’s poor performance in the league this season was one of the questions raised about Rexach.
His reputation has long been known to the public, but he led his team to a humiliating loss to Millwall and became the
It was a trigger, but Barcelona was not as decisive as Real Madrid. They fired them immediately. After all, Rexach had a deep seniority background in Barcelona. It was rumored that Rexach would terminate his contract with the club after coaching this season.
Barcelona has also entered the stage of recruiting talents and selecting a new coach.
Millwall was not disturbed by the outside world. In the last three rounds of the Premier League, the substitute lineup won the first game. In the second game, the main team visited St. James Park Stadium. They defeated the Magpies who were not interested in the game 2:1 away. Because
Newcastle United's final ranking at the end of the season was basically stable. The gap between them and Manchester United was more than 2 goals, and they were destined to miss the top four. At the same time, they widened the gap with Leeds United behind them, locking in fifth place in the league.
Aldridge let the main lineup play to ensure their condition, and then returned home for the final game of the Premier League. The substitute lineup will complete the final game of the Premier League this season.
"37 games, 32 wins, 5 draws, 101 points, a new Premier League record!"
As of the final game, Millwall has successfully refreshed the league points record this season, and has refreshed their own 100-point record. If they remain unbeaten in the final round, this point record will be even higher.
One level higher, and at the same time complete the second undefeated season and win the championship!
A new record was also set, with 79 unbeaten matches in all competitions across the year!
Only this season, Millwall remains unbeaten in domestic cup competitions, leagues and the Champions League. They have won all 16 games in the Champions League. Millwall's name is also the latest name in the winning streak in European history.
Everyone knows that Millwall is the king of the modern team and created a dynasty, but how to describe the power of this dynasty team?
Undefeated for over 400 days?
20+ wins in a row in Europe?
There are countless records from the Premier League, Champions League, England, and the five major European leagues, and of course there are countless championship trophies, all of which can be used to describe this crazy blue lion!
In the final game of the Premier League, Millwall faced the club's arch-rivals at home: the Hammers.
At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge congratulated West Ham United on their success in avoiding relegation.
"West Ham United has the same points as Ipswich, but the goal difference is two more than Ipswich. Since Ipswich is visiting Anfield this round, Liverpool will not give Manchester United a chance to surpass them in points.
, Millwall will also send a substitute lineup to face West Ham United. In fact, West Ham United has successfully avoided relegation. Congratulations to them. In his first season back in the Premier League, Rodl successfully helped the Hammers avoid relegation. They
We can prepare for next season.”
Fleet Street interpreted Aldridge's comments as a dig at West Ham United!
As for his statement that West Ham United has successfully avoided relegation, this is also the mainstream media's view on one of the final suspense of the Premier League.
There are two major suspense in the final game of the Premier League.
First, Liverpool or Manchester United, who is third and who is fourth.
There is a point difference between the two teams, with Liverpool in the lead. The fourth place will have to compete in the Champions League qualifying rounds next season. Neither Liverpool nor Manchester United will be happy.
Secondly, there is suspense about relegation. The two teams at the bottom of the table were relegated early, leaving only Ipswich and West Ham United competing for a place with the same points, and West Ham United is two points ahead of Ipswich United on goal difference.
indivual.
Millwall will face West Ham United at home and will send a substitute lineup, which will reduce its strength.
Ipswich has to face Liverpool, who is full of fighting spirit and resentment. Who is in a more dangerous situation? There is no doubt that Ipswich.
The atmosphere of the East London Derby was lowered in this game because the attention of the Lions fans was distracted. The fans were worried about the injuries of the main players. Henry resumed training and Nedvěd was still recovering from his injury. He was thinking about the football team four days later.
The FA Cup final against Arsenal, and the Champions League decisive battle against Manchester United 7 days later!
"The final round of the 2001-02 Premier League season will start at the same time. We came to the Lion King Stadium in East London to broadcast the East London Derby live. After the game, there will be a league championship award ceremony. Millwall
We actually won the league title 5 games ahead of schedule
, even though Arsenal performed extremely bravely this season, scoring 84 points in 37 rounds, but compared with Millwall's 101 points, it seems too far away. Today Millwall sent a full substitute lineup, they will focus on
Mainly staying in the future FA Cup finals and Champions League finals."
In the FA Cup final four days later, Aldridge still plans to use the substitute lineup, except Southgate will play.
On the one hand, they are afraid that the main force will get injured again, and on the other hand, they want to ensure their physical fitness.
When Aldridge walked into the stadium, he was applauded like a king by the Lions fans.
Millwall has won 5 championships this season, and various shining records have been written again. The fans cannot ask for more from him. All they can do is be grateful and worship.
Aldridge applauded in the stands, then went to shake hands with Rodel and returned to the coach's bench without making any small talk.
There is a Premier League championship trophy on the sidelines. After the game, there will be a championship award ceremony.
Some of the main players were sitting in the stands behind the team's coaching bench. Some were sitting on the bench. Their mentality was relatively relaxed, but in the context of the East London Derby, they did not dare to obviously ignore their opponents, lest they be criticized by the outside world for their lack of skills.
Respect for the club's tradition, after all, their opponents have been sworn enemies for centuries.
Since the substitute lineup will play in the FA Cup final four days later, in this final game of the league, Millwall will not fight too hard on one side, and will control the game after the start and not speed up the pace of the game.
West Ham United was still trepidatious from the beginning, a little worried that if Liverpool had diarrhea in another game, they were not confident that they could take away the victory at the Lion King Stadium. Even a draw was a luxury, since Millwall did not attack strongly.
, they simply defended firmly and did not rush to grab the ball, and the scene was tepid for a while.
In the first 10 minutes of the game, Millwall's ball possession rate reached 85%!
West Ham United did not steal, and Millwall patiently played passes and cuts. They did not have the best chance. They would not end the attack easily.
Rodel stood on the sidelines with a serious face, and his state was on tenterhooks. If they lose this game and Ipswich draw, West Ham United will be relegated!
He couldn't focus on real-time information from another game without being distracted.
The game only lasted 10 minutes, and good news came from heaven!
An assistant from the West Ham United coaching bench ran out and said to Rodel: "Liverpool is ahead, 1:0!"
Rodel looked happy, "Okay, the Red Army is the Red Army, fight, beat Ipswich to death!"
As soon as he felt happy, his assistant ran back again. Rodel's face darkened and he thought: Mahler Gobi, wouldn't Ipswich equalize the score immediately?
"Good news, Liverpool scored 2 goals in 2 minutes and now lead Ipswich 2:0!"
Rodel really relaxed now. He exhaled with relief and said with a smile: "Well, it's completely safe now."
West Ham United is 1 point ahead of Ipswich in the real-time standings and 4 goals ahead. Unless they lose 5 goals to Millwall, they will fall behind Ipswich because
If the goal difference is the same, West Ham United has scored 3 more goals than Ipswich. Obviously, Ipswich cannot score 3 goals at Anfield!
The Hammers fans were ecstatic in the stands. They also learned about the situation at Anfield. This news gave them reassurance.
The Hammers are guaranteed to stay in the Premier League!
Aldrich noticed the movements of the visiting team's fans and turned his head curiously and asked: "What are they happy about?"
Klinsmann and Jensen were confused. Villas-Boas poked his head out from behind, with an earphone plugged into his right ear, and said: "Liverpool leads Ipswich 2-0."
"Oh, that's it."
Aldrich didn't take it seriously.
The situation on the field suddenly changed. Millwall's substitute players played a controlling role today, organized the attack in an orderly manner, and made full use of the space on the field. In the 13th minute, Alonso advanced and hit the wall with Larmour and passed diagonally to the far end.
Villa was offside, and the latter hit the goal diagonally and sent the ball into the goal.
Millwall 1:0 West Ham United.
The Lions fans in the stands applauded and celebrated. There is a championship award ceremony today, so all major fan organizations came to the scene to cheer the team as much as possible.
After celebrating his goal with the fans around him, Brady suddenly asked: "What were the West Ham fans so happy about just now?"
"Liverpool scored two goals against Ipswich in 75 seconds. Of course they are happy, haha."
Brady touched his chin thoughtfully, and Saul next to him pushed him and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Brady said: "I suddenly remembered one year when we competed with Manchester United and Arsenal in the last round of the championship."
"Ha, do you miss it? We beat Arsenal at the last moment to win the championship! Although it was exciting, now Manchester United and Arsenal don't have the strength to compete with us until the last round."
"I don't miss that, I just remember, what were we shouting in the stands at that time?"
Sol thought about it, clapped his hands and shouted: "At that time, Manchester United was ahead and Arsenal's chance of winning the championship was gone. We were spreading this news to the Arsenal players in the stands to dampen their morale!"
Brady smiled and said: "Yes, I have nothing to do today, so I can play with the Hammers."
"Huh? How are you kidding? Liverpool leads Ipswich 2-0. Should we call out the score and tell the West Ham United players? Doesn't this make them more determined to defend?" Sol looked puzzled.
"Ha, you are stupid. We can shout whatever we want. Do the West Ham United players on the field run out to ask for the facts? Even if they do, they will be distracted. Otherwise, how can we call it a joke?
Where are they?"
Brady was very happy with his whim.
Sol's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, we can shout whatever we want, haha, they are playing football and they don't know the facts."
Indeed, the fans' shouting in the stands is very unscrupulous. Even if they are swearing, they will be more polite, such as writing them into lyrics and singing them, and they often have unique tricks.
Just do what you think of. Brady and the others immediately unified their slogans and sent signals to the people around them. These fan organizations usually have contact, and when they go to watch away games, they sometimes help each other. Therefore, when Brady and the others are in the stands,
When thousands of people collectively shouted slogans, they quickly received responses from other stands.
"Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich!"
"Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich!"
This uniform shouting first came from the South Stand.
There was a commotion in other stands.
"Eh? What is the roar of the lion in the South Stand shouting?"
"It seems to be the score at Liverpool? 1:1. That doesn't seem right. 2:0 is more correct."
"Haha, I understand, they are disturbing West Ham United, shout quickly, let's follow! West Ham United is scared to death!"
One minute later, "Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich" echoed in the Lion King Stadium.
The fans of the away team were dumbfounded and asked each other to confirm the score at Anfield.
The news they heard was 2:0, but "a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth." When nearly 60,000 people shouted this message, they also panicked, fearing that they had received wrong information.
Aldridge was also caught off guard. He frowned and turned to ask Villas-Boas: "Didn't you just say that Liverpool was leading 2:0? Was it pulled back by one, or was a goal canceled, and then Ipswich added another
Got one?"
Boas was also a little panicked. He was listening to the commentator's commentary on the live broadcast of the game on the radio. No commentator would constantly repeat the score during the game. Boas also wondered whether he had heard it wrong before, and because he was too focused on it.
Second use without hearing the commentator say Ipswich scored.
Aldrich figured out what was happening in the stands without waiting for Boas to ask for confirmation.
"Hahahaha, they are so cute!"
Aldrich doubled over and laughed.
At the same time, the West Ham United players on the field were like a bolt from the blue.
Poor Liverpool!
How could you let Ipswich equalize?
If it's a draw over there, here, here, grass, here we are falling behind!
In front of the West Ham United players, a door seemed to open, with two words written on the door: relegation. (To be continued...)
