Compared to any other season, suspense, big and small, has disappeared.
There will be no further changes to the three relegated teams.
The four teams that have locked in Champions League qualification will also not change.
Arsenal lead by 1 point, followed by Millwall.
Manchester United is 1 point ahead of Chelsea, but Chelsea is 7 points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool.
If I have to say what the small suspense is, it is who will eventually play in the Champions League play-offs between Manchester United and Chelsea, and which teams will occupy the UEFA Cup places. At least, Liverpool must be qualified for the UEFA Cup.
Leeds United's relegation was sensational, not only because the White Rose bid farewell to the top league stage for 14 years, but also because Leeds United fell from the top to the bottom so quickly that it was too unimaginable.
Aldridge and Millwall generals declared war in front of the camera at Elland Road with a simple sentence: Arsenal, Millwall are coming!
It has become a recent buzzword in England.
At the same time, Millwall visits Highbury in the final game, and the winning odds are the same as Arsenal!
In the eyes of the outside world, Arsenal, which has been undefeated for 37 games and has home court advantage, can be on the same level as Millwall!
Because Millwall is so domineering!
So crazy!
The madness is suffocating, and it is impossible to question their determination and strength to reverse Arsenal!
Fleet Street compares the results of the two teams in the first and second half.
First half of the league.
Arsenal has 13 wins and 6 draws, with 45 points.
Millwall has 11 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss, with 40 points.
The second half of the league ends before the final game.
Arsenal has 12 wins and 6 draws, with 42 points.
Millwall has 14 wins and 4 draws, with 46 points.
Overall results:
Arsenal 87 points.
Millwall 86 points.
It can be seen that Arsenal's performance in the first and second half was consistent. Millwall was better in the second half than the first half. They only lost a total of 8 points in 18 games in the second half of the league!
Although they don't have a winning streak of more than 6 games, they don't have a winning streak either.
When it comes to stability and strength, Millwall obviously beat Arsenal in the second half. If we look at the number of goals scored, Millwall even beat Arsenal, not to mention that they reached the final of the Champions League!
It is this momentum. In the second half of this season, the third generation of the Wild Lions really took shape and began to explode with impact, making it impossible for the outside world to underestimate Millwall's probability of winning the championship.
Yes, Arsenal have home field advantage.
However, Arsenal's last league championship was in 1998, and Millwall obviously has more championship qualities than Arsenal.
And in a game that determines the outcome, the outside world is more optimistic about Aldridge than Wenger.
Stop watching the game as a league game!
Just think of it as a 90-minute final at Arsenal’s home court!
Within 90 minutes, Arsenal were undefeated and Arsenal won the championship unbeaten in the season!
Within 90 minutes, Millwall defeated Arsenal. Millwall staged a miraculous comeback!
Such a miracle will surpass the last-minute countdown.
Because. Since the end of the second round of the league, Arsenal has been the league leader!
This advantage lasted for 35 rounds, more than 8 months!
In Serie A, AC Milan has already won the championship in advance. Ancelotti was aggrieved and was defeated by Deportivo La Coruna in the Champions League, which added to the dark history of a super reversal. Fortunately, he had the league championship in his bag as a consolation.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has a long way to go to replace its new generation, but Werder Bremen unexpectedly came out and won the championship ahead of schedule!
In La Liga, Benitez completed two league championships in three years. In the post-Cooper era, no one expected that the Bat Legion would make a big leap in the hands of Benitez and trample on the La Liga duo! And the La Liga champion
, was also born before the final battle!
In the French Ligue 1, Lyon successfully completed three consecutive championships, but the overall strength of the French Ligue 1 team is getting bigger and bigger than the top teams in Europe, and is gradually marginalized.
Among the five major European leagues, only the Premier League championship is still undecided, and the final battle will determine the outcome!
In five days it will be Aldridge's 28th birthday.
This birthday is very memorable.
At least that's how it seems to the people around him and the fans who love him.
Because it also means that his coaching career has gone through a "ten years"!
Despite the episode of leaving last season, he has never left the football circle.
In an age where information is so advanced, Aldridge received birthday gifts from many fans who love him from all over the world.
There is one gift that he particularly likes. It is a gift from a Chinese fan who collected photos of his classic field conductors in each season in the past ten years. Finally, there is a picture composed of ten facial close-ups.
That was 1994, 1995, 1996... Until 2004, there were exceptionally clear photos of him in each of the ten seasons. The changes in appearance were from a green boy to a handsome young man, and now he has a family and a career.
mature man behind.
Aldrich put this carefully produced photo album on his bookshelf to remind himself that if he became a middle-aged uncle in a few years, he could take it out and appreciate it, and proudly told himself that when he was in his prime, he had also
It is popular among thousands of girls. Yes, this gift was sent by a beautiful girl in China, and it also comes with her photo...
In the past, Bert and Earl rarely went to away games unless they were sitting in the VIP box with their grandfather Arthur. Today, organized by a group of relatives and friends, they invited many friends to go to Arsenal's stadium in North London.
Order is guaranteed, after all, Arsenal's home stadium is known as the "quietest" stadium in the Premier League.
Millwall's bus headed for North London. In the sea of people gathering at Highbury from all directions, blue and red and white gradually became the mainstream, and eventually formed two competing colors, surrounding Highbury!
Is the Premier League the best league in the world?
The devil knows.
Aldrich didn't care either.
Doesn't it mean he's on strike if he's not in the first league? Doesn't he want the championship?
He doesn't care whether he is first or second. Anyway, in England, Millwall wants to be the boss. When it comes to European competitions, Millwall still wants to be the boss. No matter where you are in Europe, you are a monster, stop me from becoming the king, and destroy it!
And today's game, the final game of the Premier League, will definitely become the most watched game in world football thanks to the publicity and momentum in Fleet Street!
The expectations are even higher than the Champions League final.
After arriving at the visiting team's dressing room at Highbury, Aldridge waited for the players to return from warm-up.
Looking at all the team members who were sorting out their jerseys, sneakers and equipment, they looked majestic and murderous!
Aldridge put one hand in his bag and said calmly: "Unfortunately, our season is about to end."
Pity?
No player found it strange, and many even nodded subconsciously.
They are completely different from Arsenal.
It can be said that Arsenal has reached a state close to its peak since last season, but it has not been fully sustained.
This is why Arsenal has been ridiculously stable from beginning to end this season.
However, to say how strong they are, it must be what the media promotes, and they are just undefeated in the league. Moreover, they lost 24 points in 12 draws. This means that even if they complete the myth of being undefeated and winning the championship, they cannot be as good as in the past.
Compared with Millwall, who won the championship undefeated for the first time in a single season, in terms of points, number of goals, including the comparison of records on other fronts during the same period, they cannot compare with the second generation Mad Lions.
It can be said that Arsenal has already tapped out at least 90 points of its 100-point potential. It would be difficult to increase it further. Even if there is any improvement, it will almost not be noticeable to the naked eye.
And they persisted in the competition for nearly 9 months in a season, and their condition was stable, but they also experienced fatigue and psychological boredom.
But Millwall is different.
Millwall spent the first half of the season grinding and tempering, and it was only in the second half of the season that they really exploded. They felt that the first half of the season was preparation, and the second half of the season was the real strength. Now they are enjoying the game on the court, and they are still not satisfied.
I am not tired of it, and I hope to play more games, trample my opponents under my feet, and enjoy more glorious victories.
At least mentally, Millwall should be more aggressive than Arsenal.
"From the beginning, I never told you who we were chasing. Arsenal was always ahead of us. Yes, the outside world has been describing Millwall as struggling to catch up with Arsenal. This is incorrect. Before the season, I
As I said, Millwall has only one enemy! That is ourselves, and now that we have defeated ourselves, you should understand what I am talking about."
Aldridge's words made the whole team nod in agreement.
In the Millwall dressing room, Aldridge never talked about Arsenal, never used Arsenal to win again or use the gap in the standings as a reason to whip the team, stimulate the team, and motivate the players.
No, Arsenal does not exist in the Millwall dressing room.
On the contrary, Aldridge constantly pointed the finger at Arsenal in front of the media, putting pressure on Arsenal, making it impossible for Arsenal to ignore the existence of Millwall.
This is his psychological warfare.
Reduce pressure internally and put pressure on opponents externally.
"The only enemy is yourself?"
That's just a false empty talk.
What is oneself?
How to defeat yourself?
I can't say it at all in detail, but just this kind of empty talk sounds grand, as if it sublimates the goal, raises the pursuit, and at the same time makes the team's temperament become aloof invisibly.
Such specious empty words can sometimes have miraculous effects.
Such as now.
The players are nodding.
Aldrich's initial nervousness was immediately dissipated.
He really wants to ask everyone: Why are you nodding?
In the process, what kind of self did you defeat?
Maybe the players feel that they are not lazy and have become super self-disciplined, which is a kind of victory.
Or a breakthrough in performance on the court is also a victory.
Or the improvement of competition reading ability, like an epiphany, overcoming illusory things like "inner demons" and "bottlenecks".
Especially young players such as Alonso, De Rossi and Cristiano Ronaldo deeply believe in what Aldridge said.
However, Aldridge was actually unable to describe these words concretely, because he had only worked seriously for one season, and it was much easier than in the past many years. At least, he never worked overtime after work. (Not finished yet. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
