Although Nedved repeatedly explained to the referee Bol what happened in the penalty area, Bol shook his head and ignored it. It is not unprecedented for the referee to change the decision, but it is definitely cautious because it is a self-professional profession.
Denial of ability, overturning one's own judgment? Incidentally, it will reduce authority.
Perhaps just because the British are conservative and stubborn at heart, Bol finally signaled that Millwall must take a penalty kick.
Arsenal's players were furious, but they had no excuse. They didn't hate Millwall, their derby opponent, but they resented the referee.
Helplessly, except for Seaman who was guarding the goal in the penalty area, everyone else left the penalty area. Millwall's players still turned to look at Aldridge on the sidelines.
What to do about this penalty kick?
The first penalty taker in the team was Larsson, but Aldrich pointed at Nedvěd on the sidelines and gave him the penalty kick.
Larson had no objection. Millwall's players didn't even stand on the penalty area line to prepare for a follow-up shot. Everyone stood far behind.
Bol blew the whistle, and Nedvěd walked slowly to the penalty spot, touched the ball lightly with his toes, then turned and ran back.
Seaman stepped forward and picked up the ball. He was also impressed by Nedved's move and took the initiative to applaud him.
The audience burst into warm applause again.
When Nedvěd ran back, Adams who passed by him said sincerely: "I'm sorry."
He had cursed a lot of bad words just now, but Nedved ignored it.
Looking back at Adams, Nedved continued running back without caring.
"Andy, this will not be a great moment on the pitch, but it will definitely be a textbook classic scene. Nedved has told the world with practical actions that opponents should be defeated in a fair and just way on the football field, Worrell
If he could see this scene, he should be ashamed of himself. Even though he brought Germany to the top of the world, no one except the German fans would admire his diving in the 1990 World Cup final."
"All the fans applauded Nedved's behavior. This is a behavior we should encourage. Not every player who falls in the penalty area is violated or dives. Sometimes the referee's penalty is unfair. This is
It is part of football, but I am very happy to see that some players can take the initiative to stand up to maintain the fairness of the game. There are too many negative examples of unscrupulous means in football, but Nedved has set an example of fair play, and Mir
Wall's coach Aldrich Hall, the replay of the camera tells us that he very much agrees with Nedved's behavior. I think tomorrow, there will be more neutral fans who like Aldrich."
England fans who have experienced Maradona's hand of God hate the cheating on the court the most. Even if Owen dives on the field on behalf of the national team, he is not understood at home. He is more ridiculed and ridiculed. In 1990
In the World Cup final, the football emperor Beckenbauer led the powerful German team to meet the defending champion Argentina, which was riddled with holes in the final. The German team had the advantage but could not score. The referee missed a penalty kick for Germany, and Germany
Voller used a dive to win back a penalty before the end. With this penalty, the German team once again stood on top of the world, but Voller's behavior was strongly condemned after the game.
The first half ended quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room.
Aldridge waited in the locker room until all the players were sitting on stools, and then gave them two minutes to clean their shoes and jerseys or drink water to calm down.
"Pavel, you did the right thing."
Aldrich said calmly to Nedved. Nedved looked up at Aldrich, nodded and said nothing.
Looking at the other players, Aldridge said calmly: "I am a coach who is eager to win, and you are also players who are eager to win, but we cannot let utilitarianism pollute our hearts. If we are not as talented as our opponents, then we will use diligence.
We can make up for it with sweat and sweat. If we are not as strong as our opponents, then we will use fighting spirit and unity to improve our strength, but we will never tarnish the word victory. Don't use sneaky tricks to belittle the meaning of victory. Maybe that will make us
We win an important game and win an important championship, but invisibly, we will lose more. Once some mistakes are made, there is no chance to correct them."
Many players listened extremely carefully and nodded solemnly.
After another period of silence, Aldrich walked to the tactical board and began to lay out the tactical tasks for the second half. There were no major changes, just a change of rhythm and a slightly more detailed tactical intention.
Before the start of the second half, Aldridge observed the expressions of the Arsenal players on the sidelines and saw that Arsenal's fighting spirit had recovered a lot, and there was a desire to win in their eyes.
Rioch is not an incompetent coach. At least Arsenal, who were a little discouraged in the first half, gained momentum again after the halftime break.
That's good.
The atmosphere in the stands was still lively, and with cheers and cheers, the second half of the game began.
Arsenal unified their thinking, Rioch made some adjustments to the defense, strengthened the defense, and asked Adams to play as a deep-lying central defender among the three central defenders. There was a shadow of the first-generation chain defense in the international era, but this
It's a temporary change, I don't know if it will have any miraculous effect.
Winterbourne and Dixon stepped forward firmly to assist. Bergkamp retreated to play as a shadow forward and share the organizational tasks. Arsenal's formation has become very strange. After all, it is adjusted on the basis of 532, so strange formations are inevitable.
Already.
Arsenal launched a wave of offensive. After Bergkamp retreated and cooperated with Platt, he passed the ball to Wright's feet. Wright took off his foot outside the penalty area and shot without any angle.
Keller easily collected the ball in his arms.
Aldridge raised his chin slightly and waved his big hand towards Arsenal's half, and Millwall started a quick counterattack that they are good at!
The counterattack started from the goalkeeper's kick-off. Keller threw the ball to the foot of Thuram on the wing. Thuram began to dribble the ball forward. Arsenal did not expect that Thuram would step forward to participate in the attack.
A little panicked, and what caught them even more unprepared was that except for the two central defenders and midfielder Makelele, all Millwall players were running forward, like a blue whirlwind, crushing the city.
Thuram passed the ball directly to Schneider, and Schneider hit Nedvěd across the floor. After a one-two, Schneider passed the ball to the side and then passed the ball back to the middle. Trezeguet was at the top of the offense.
, he went deep into the penalty area, Larsson was behind, pressing the penalty area line, Schneider's back pass rolled in front of him, and he shot towards the ball. Arsenal's defense kept retreating, and the ball was passed
Very quickly, Bould suddenly stopped and stepped forward to block Larson's shot. He was obviously too slow. The ball passed by his shoulder, and it seemed that he heard the sound of breaking through the air.
Seaman flew toward the upper left corner of the goal, but by the time he reached his position, the ball had already hit the dead center.
Millwall leads 2:0!
"Larsson! Larsson is in hot form! He sent the ball into the dead center of the goal with a powerful shot from the penalty area. Millwall's counterattack from the goalkeeper this time was astonishingly fast! In English League One,
Their counterattacks repeatedly smashed the opponent's defense. Look at the slow-motion replay. From the moment Keller threw the ball to Thuram to the final goal, Millwall's quick counterattack took 13 seconds! They
How fast is it?!"
Seeing this goal, Aldrich closed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and made a fist with one hand and waved it slightly in front of him.
Arsenal will definitely step up their offensive in the second half. What Millwall has to do is not to retreat more conservatively, but to launch a blitz!
As long as Arsenal attacks, the deep space behind them will be the stage for Millwall to counterattack. If their fists cannot hit Millwall, then Millwall's quick counterattack will sound the death knell for the Gunners!
Larsson, who scored twice, ran along the sidelines, putting his hand to his ear and listening to the screams and cheers of the fans.
Singing rang out from the south stand.
"No one likes us, it doesn't matter, we have Larsson!"
Rioch seemed a little frustrated. The reforming Arsenal met the stable Millwall. Arsenal's energy that has been sapped in recent years cannot be rebuilt in a short while, but Millwall is like a newborn lion.
, full of hunger and thirst for victory, and to show off one's edge is to taste the taste of the enemy's blood!
The fighting spirit mobilized in the midfield disappeared in an instant. The Arsenal players stood on the field with their hands on their hips, looking helpless and confused.
They lost to Millwall's substitute lineup last season. They could comfort themselves because Graham's position as coach was unstable. Coupled with the team's sharp decline in record, the whole team was unable to work together. But what about today?
Encountering Millwall's main lineup, the offense was in a mess, and the defense that they were once proud of was full of loopholes.
Where is the dawn of victory?
After Arsenal resumed kick-off, Aldridge discovered something that made him laugh.
Arsenal once again started playing their usual defensive game.
They are like ostriches, huddled together, raised their heads to look at the outside world, and found that there was danger, so they retracted their heads again to ensure that they were safe and not harmed.
Rioch walked back to the coaching bench and sat down. There were still forty minutes left in the game, but he had no hope of making a comeback.
After all, it is a derby and we cannot lose too much. Although Millwall is not Arsenal's main derby opponent, Tottenham is.
Arsenal's offensive system can be said to be starting over. It does not mean that it will become sharp immediately after the arrival of Bergkamp and Platt. The players Rioch can rely on most are all on the court. Facing the ascendant Millwall,
The right choice is to avoid being hit again and fight back.
Millwall was still unsatisfied. With Arsenal's active defense, Trezeguet and Larsson unexpectedly changed positions ten minutes before the end of the game. Larsson entered the penalty area and was at the forefront to receive Pires' pass.
The ball grabbed the spot and once again penetrated the gate guarded by Seaman.
Larsson, who scored a hat-trick, became the best player of the match. Arsenal defeated the Lion's Den with three goals!
ps: Thanks to "Taoist Master Ma Yu" for the reward!
