Playing against Millwall obviously cannot be purely defensive. West Ham United is in the relegation queue. The quality of the defense itself is not high. It lacks suitable defensive tactics based on the numerical advantage alone. In addition, it is unable to devote itself to the game wholeheartedly. It was divided by the game at Anfield.
Heart, the defensive effect is appallingly bad...
Before the end of the first half, Larmour made a 45-degree cross from the wing. Klose attacked from the back point and shook his head to send the ball into the goal. During the goal process, it was obvious that West Ham United was completely
He defends statically and does a very poor job in man-to-man switching and zone protection.
"5:0, okay, the young players from Millwall played a crazy game in the first half. Now the Lion King Stadium has stopped broadcasting the score of the Anfield game. Whether it is a rumor or the truth, it doesn't matter anymore.
Real-time standings, West Ham United due to goal difference 0:
2 behind Liverpool is one less Ipswich. Therefore, West Ham United is currently ranked 18th in the Premier League and third from the bottom in the league. If the game ends now, they can prepare for the English League next season. Fortunately
, they still have 45 minutes to reverse their fate!"
During the halftime break, the two sides almost clashed when walking into the tunnel. West Ham United coach Rodl criticized Aldridge from a distance of 3 meters!
"Hall, your team is a disgrace!"
"Is this how you want to win?"
"Millwall is a cancer in the Premier League!"
Someone in the crowd spat at Rodel and into his face. It wasn't Aldrich anyway, so he didn't even look back.
Rodel was completely angered and wanted to fight!
The stadium staff and referees immediately separated the two groups. Neil hated West Ham United. The most painful injury in his career came from West Ham United, so he passed by the furious Rodel.
When I heard the other party yelling curses, I spat. It was already a bit chaotic. There were no cameras here, and no one else knew except Klose beside him.
"Shut your mouth! You should be dancing here to celebrate that you only lost 5 goals. Don't be a bitch mumbling there. If you can score us a goal in the second half, you idiot!"
Neil said these words openly and honestly.
"Lucas, stop talking and go into the locker room."
Aldridge called back, and then the Millwall players ignored the West Ham United players who looked like explosive barrels and walked into the locker room first.
Rodel was going crazy.
This is not a true portrayal of his mood, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is on the verge of losing his mind.
The referee team and Millwall staff sympathized with him.
It was originally a great situation, but it ended up reaching the threshold of relegation step by step.
The home atmosphere at the Lion King Stadium was the main reason why he nearly collapsed. Without those fans making noise in the stands. How could West Ham United be in disarray and have no team to speak of on the field?
Back in the locker room, Aldridge said to all the players calmly: "To be honest, you guys surprised me, no, amazed! In my expectation, no matter how well we played, we would win by just 2 goals in the first half."
Almost, but you actually wrote the score as 5:0, oh, this is a fantastic score. Of course, you also know that without our fans in the stands to cause trouble for West Ham United, our opponents will not
Giving us a chance so easily."
The players sitting on the chairs held their heads high, they were very proud, today's game was great for them, their opponents were simply vulnerable, and the fans in the stands were so cute.
"There are 45 minutes left in the game. Now, let's analyze the situation in the second half. West Ham United has dropped one place in the standings. They have to move up and get back to safety from the relegation zone, or Ipswich will go back to safety.
Concede a goal, or they score a goal, but will they pin their hopes on Liverpool? What if Ipswich win at Anfield in the second half?
Germany scored a goal? Then they have completely lost hope of relegation? Therefore, they will attack and try to reshape the game. We still have the FA Cup final and the Champions League final. You are all our final contenders for the championship.
is an important force, so in the second half we have to play smarter, save energy, and make the opponent continue to pay the price."
Aldrich said so much, but in fact he just wanted to tell the team: In the second half, we will fight counterattack.
The game background and situation required to prevent counter-attacks have been met. Even if Millwall leads 5:0, they can still defend against counter-attacks because West Ham United has to attack.
The reason why he said it was to keep the players clear-headed. If the tactics were arranged directly, some players would inevitably take it lightly because of the crazy score in the first half. The most important thing for a team is to have a unified mind.
After explaining the tactics to the team, rearranging the formation positions, and reminding the defense of key areas, Aldrich let the team play. At the same time, the substitute players for this game also warmed up after the start of the second half.
In the second half, West Ham United indeed increased their offensive strength and increased their defensive aggressiveness. They attacked high and high, and defended fiercely and brutally. Millwall did not adapt at first. After about 10 minutes, Millwall began to stand up.
To keep a firm foothold, the referee's card-drawing to suppress the anger on the court also had a certain effect.
In the 57th minute, in front of the West Ham United coaching bench, Rodel's assistant ran out again, intending to report the latest news from Anfield to Rodel.
However, the assistant had no chance to speak, and the entire audience was paying attention to Millwall's counterattack this time.
Larmour pulled the ball to the wing and ran for a long distance. West Ham United's backcourt defense was empty, and Klose in the middle was closely monitored. Larmour made a precise long pass transfer, and it was a ground ball.
The pass spanned the half court, and the force and angle were perfectly grasped. It came just 2 meters behind Klose, and rolled to the front right wing of the penalty area on a route out of reach of the defensive players. Villa rushed over,
The first choice after touching the ball was not to continue forward, but to buckle back to the center, allowing the West Ham defender to stop and turn around to intercept him. Obviously, it was impossible to do so.
The Villans did a good job of combining the ball with the ball, taking a reverse cut route into the penalty area. After Klose helped him, he volleyed the goal with a strong shot at a small angle. This goal was better than no one else.
Interference, he was very confident, the ball hit hard and flew into the goal beside the goalkeeper's arm.
"6:0, Millwall scored another victory. In this counterattack, West Ham United didn't even have a chance to foul! Oh my God, West Ham United's nightmare is not over yet. When will it end?
"
Rodel closed his eyes feebly, and when he opened them again, he found his assistant standing beside him. He asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"Well......"
"Say it!"
"Twenty seconds ago, Liverpool scored their third goal at Anfield, leading Ipswich 3-0!"
"What?!wtf! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Rodel was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he was about to go completely crazy.
If Liverpool scores the third goal, how can West Ham United take the initiative?
As long as they don't concede this sixth goal, their goal difference with Ipswich will be the same, but West Ham United has a goal advantage and will return to 17th place in the standings!
Rodel's assistant is crying. Even if I told you 20 seconds ago, would it be useful?
Can you immediately ask the team to take back the iron barrel formation?
3:0
6:0
The situation remained the same as it was at halftime, and Rodel felt that even God was not helping them.
If Liverpool could score a goal 3 minutes earlier, he would definitely adjust the team's offensive and defensive posture after learning the news. How could he give Millwall a flat counterattack space?
What can be done now?
We can only continue to attack, pray that West Ham United can score one and regain control of their destiny.
Aldridge and the Millwall fans in the stands also knew the news, which made them even more happy and forgetful when celebrating the goal.
The West Ham United players were about to collapse on the field. Three minutes later, Millwall once again had a great opportunity to counterattack. The last defensive player directly threw Klose to the ground with a hug. The referee
I already felt some sympathy for West Ham United, but I still took out the red card and sent him off. If that action was not given a red card, it would be unjustifiable and the level of law enforcement would be questioned.
Aldrich saw that it was almost done, so he called Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo, and De Rossi to the sidelines. These three people had been warming up for a long time and were looking forward to their debut. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, today’s opponent
He means a lot.
Before they took the field, Aldrich put his arm around their shoulders and gave them their tasks after taking the field.
De Rossi must be defending, but Aldrich specifically told him to pay attention to the observation of the game situation, that is, to have a broad view and a broad vision.
Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo are for counterattack, and Aldrich even gave Cristiano Ronaldo the privilege to press the opponent's defense, and just watch the time to counter offside when switching from defense to offense.
Aldridge did not waste time, waiting for the dead ball opportunity and then substituted three people at once.
"Klose, Villa and Larmour came off the field. The three goal scorers were cheered by the fans. The atmosphere was much more lively than other times. The three of them became derby heroes. This will be their
An unforgettable day! Being substituted at the same time were De Rossi, Kaká, Ronaldo, C
Ronaldo also met the requirements for the distribution of Premier League championship medals after his debut. The young man who was promoted to the first team in the middle of the season was able to receive the first important championship medal in his career after the game. I hope he can forget about this for a while.
Just focus on the game first.”
Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were as cold as a beast when he came on the field. He is not here to win the championship, and no one would think so, but he still has to further prove himself and leave an unforgettable figure in the league this season. (
