In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again. Roy Evans was already sitting on the coach's bench, his expression looked very relaxed. It seemed that he was already sure of winning the game.
Aldridge still stood on the sidelines with a calm expression. In the stands behind him, the Anfield fans booed him, thinking that he was just a kid who was trying to be cool.
Liverpool still used traditional British tactics in the second half, without many bright spots. The routine was clear at a glance. As long as Millwall did not make the same mistakes as they did in the first half, they would not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.
As soon as Millwall started the second half, they played a classic wave of local coordination.
Makelele stole the ball from Redknapp and passed it to Nedvěd. Nedvěd took the ball and used his speed to pass the 30-year-old Barnes.
Entered the opponent's half.
Larsson is at the forefront of the striker, and Solskjaer is waiting for a response outside the penalty area.
Liverpool began to shrink the penalty area and form a dense defense.
Nedved and Solskjaer completed a one-two against the wall outside the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Nedved directly kicked the ball. Larsson received the ball with his back in the penalty area without waiting for Scales.
Stretching his foot to destroy, he used the instep of his outside foot to lift the ball diagonally behind him. Solskjaer diagonally inserted into the penalty area and broke through the entire Liverpool defense. James abandoned the goal and opened his arms to block Solskjaer as much as possible.
Asian shooting angle.
However, the deft Solskjaer dunked the ball with his feet and passed James. At the same time, he came to the baseline. The shooting angle was almost zero. He gently knocked the ball across the middle. After Larson made the ball, he turned and rushed towards
The goalkeeper arrived just in time and kicked the ball into the empty goal without any pressure.
"What a dazzling goal! Millwall played a classic teamwork! The ball started from Nedved's feet, passed through Solskjaer, Nedved, Larsson, Solskjaer, and finally came back.
When Larsson shot the ball into the empty goal, Liverpool's defense was like a wooden stake, and Millwall's quick kick was so tacit that they were playing football alone!"
"Unbelievable! From Nedvěd taking the ball to the front and back of the penalty area, the ball passed 6 times in 10 seconds, and they finally passed the ball into the Liverpool gate! Martin, Millwall's football philosophy is shocking,
How did Aldrich Hall coach them to play football?"
"How he teaches his disciples, we don't know, but we know that Aldridge's vision of people is amazing. When people are still talking about Larsson and Trezeguet, the Norwegian guy on the court now
, Solskjaer, seeing the way he plays, especially when he passed James just now, he is simply a new Shearer. How many treasures does Millwall still have hidden?"
After Larsson scored, he ran into the goal, hugged the ball in his arms, and high-fived Solskjaer in celebration as he ran back.
Roy Evans burst out and roared at the Liverpool defense.
Aldridge was slapping his hands in the backcourt, telling the players to get back quickly.
Our game has just begun.
Contemporary football still has a strong color of individual heroism. Offensive players like to stick to the ball and are not decisive enough to play the ball quickly. They often like to take the ball and turn around, trying to get rid of or break through. This style of play is not without market, so in the English game, like
Players with excellent foot skills such as Shearer and Cantona are very popular. If Millwall's forwards follow the same pattern, play with some foot skills and create opportunities through deft and skillful techniques, it is not impossible, but the success rate will be greatly reduced.
And it will slow down the offensive rhythm, and England's foul scale is already slightly larger.
For example, Larson just turned his back to catch the ball. If he hadn't kicked the ball out, Scales would have directly pressed him from behind. He wouldn't even have a chance to turn around. Worse still, he might be tackled.
Liverpool pressed hard, but several crosses were not effective. Thuram began to suppress McManaman on the wing, so that even if the opponent started to cross, they would not have much time to adjust, and the effect of the cross was also unsatisfactory.
Neal's assist from the left forced McAteer to return to defense under pressure, and he was in a panic for a while.
Liverpool's offensive was no threat at all, but Millwall's smooth attack repeatedly created murderous opportunities. In the 69th minute of the game, Pires got the ball on the left wing, and Neal immediately hit the ball next to him.
Rob Jones subconsciously went to meet Neal, and Pires immediately dribbled the ball horizontally and cut inside.
Wright stepped out to intercept Pires. Pires passed the ball to the right. Schneider, who was also leaning towards the center on the other side, stopped the ball, glanced at the penalty area, and then passed the ground ball diagonally, like a scalpel.
The pass ripped open Liverpool's defence.
After making the save, Wright looked back. In the area he was supposed to be marking, Larsson was rushing forward. The ball slid past the line of the small penalty area in front of the goal. It was extremely fast and directly penetrated the entire defense line.
Larson fell to the ground behind the goal and made a tackle. James moved laterally to save the ball, but he was obviously slow. Larson poked the ball with his toe.
The damn ball just hit the goal post and rolled into the goal.
"Larsson! The almighty Larsson! The great Larsson! In three games, he scored his sixth goal of the season. He is a super shooter! Millwall's offense is eye-opening.
Is this going to be a trend? In this attack, left back Neil stepped in to assist, and his cover attracted Jones's attention. Millwall used the depth of the court to disrupt the opponent's defense, and Pires passed to Shi
Ned and Schneider passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area in front of the left. Millwall used the width of the court again. Liverpool's defenders were moving to the left, but they were shocked to find that the ball returned to the right. They
The whole defense was outplayed by Millwall!"
"Millwall gave us the illusion that Aldridge is a master tactician. Millwall plays team football, not individual football. Why was it difficult for Millwall to score in the first half? Because of Trey on the striker.
Trezeguet is not in good condition, maybe because he was injured. We are not sure about this news, but Trezeguet's abnormal performance is obvious to all. After replacing Solskjaer, Millwall's offense immediately revived.
The energy makes the whole puzzle complete, and their offense can be smooth from start to finish."
After Larsson scored, he rushed towards Schneider, jumped directly on him, raised his fist and showed a wild smile.
Anfield fell silent, with only the visiting fans from afar jumping up and down in excitement.
Evans' face was ashen, and Aldrich sneered, raised his finger to his mouth, and went back and forth from the sidelines to signal to the fans in the stands.
Booing?
Why don't you boo?!
Regardless of whether you are a die-hard Red Army kop or not, just shut up!
The fourth official immediately ran to Aldridge and gave him a serious warning to stop provoking the home fans.
In the stands, after a dead silence, louder boos immediately erupted. In the stands near the visiting team's coaching bench, the fans collectively glared at Aldridge, scolded him, gave him the middle finger, and even threw lighters and coins at him...
...
Aldrich returned to the sidelines, but still turned around and opened his arms toward the stands, showing a proud look!
My team is better than the Red Army!
You can scold me, I don't care!
Aldrich's move was intentional.
Millwall need enemies!
There is a saying that goes well, to judge a man's strength, you must look at his opponent.
At this stage, Millwall is targeting the three traditional giants in England.
Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, no matter whether they look down on Millwall or not, Aldridge is confident anyway. Whoever dares to look down on Millwall, I will crush you!
In the stands, Melanie's family looked extremely ugly. The four members of the family did not expect that Aldrich would dare to be so showy when he came to Anfield.
But there is no way, who gives Millwall the lead now?
On the football field, the score is a reflection of strength.
"Sister, please invite him to your house for dinner after the game."
"never!"
"He must be allowed to come. Let me borrow your mobile phone and use it. I'll find some brothers waiting for him at home!"
Melanie rolled her eyes and didn't bother to deal with her angry-looking brother.
After repeated warnings from the fourth official, Aldridge finally calmed down and walked directly back to the coaching bench and sat down.
As he sat down, he held his chin and remained motionless as if in a trance. This annoyed Evans, who was not far away from the next door. The gray-haired coach yelled loudly at the Liverpool players on the field, asking them to attack wildly.
Liverpool played 21 home games last season and only lost three. Although one of them unexpectedly lost to relegated Ipswich, the teams ahead of them in the league were Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, and Nottingham Forest.
They all lost when they came to Anfield. Anfield cannot accept the consequences of losing to the newly promoted team!
But the more they attacked and turned around, the more impressive Millwall's counterattack became.
Ten minutes later, Pires received a long shot from Solskjaer from outside the penalty area. The ball went straight into the upper right corner of the goal. James could only watch the ball and sigh.
By this time, Millwall was two goals ahead and victory was in sight.
Aldrich won the game nine times out of ten, but something that made him unhappy still happened.
In the 81st minute of the game, when he was about to make a substitution, Southgate fell to the ground while competing for a header with Collymore, dislocated his shoulder, and retired from the game injured.
Aldridge reluctantly replaced Dean Richards, then removed Schneider and replaced him with Vieira to strengthen defense.
After switching to 433, Millwall's defense became more solid. Solskjaer felt good in the winger position. Unfortunately, he had bad luck in scoring. Before the end, his shot hit the goal post and bounced off the baseline.
When the final whistle sounded, Anfield fell into a dead silence, and the fans stood up and left silently.
Aldrich's face was calm and there was no sign of happiness. He injured two main players, and the three points he got were too costly.
Aldridge quickly walked into the tunnel with a quick handshake and no conversation with Evans.
