The Young Lion

When Larson volleyed the ball into the goal, the arc of the four-footed shot kicked the audience and the audience felt a visual impact and shocked everyone's eyes!

After witnessing this goal, Aldridge first put his hands on his head and looked surprised and pleased, then his hands were stretched out to the sky, and his open mouth could not say a word.

It was like Zidane's flying fairy outside of the sky, aside from the importance of the event and the environment, in the drizzle, witnessing such a goal, Aldridge was too excited to express.

Larson rushed to the side of the court to kneel, his legs gliding along the turf for a long distance, a wild and confident smile on his face, and behind him, teammates kept coming to him, and they all used the kneeling movement. .

This goal made the audience forget the rain, and forgotten the fear of strong dialogue, completely immersed in celebration.

Wenger was expressionless, but the whole heart seemed to have been falling in the bottomless hole, not falling to the end, making him helpless and having to suppress the panic.

Larson's goal, afterwards, there must be countless people who say it was an accident.

Indeed, giving him ten more chances, he may not be able to score the same effect.

However, people will not be surprised by Millwall's goal in this way, believing that this is due to luck.

Even if the relegation team of the Premier League, there will always be so many wonderful goals that will be elated after a season, but this kind of goal is often not caused by a chance derived from a familiar offensive routine. Most of them All belong to the kind of "world wave" without warning.

For this kind of goal, even Millwall will always be scored by opponents every year, and Aldridge will not criticize the team’s defense when summing up after the game. This is inevitable. Football The chance factors on the field are too large, and no one can fully control the uncertain factors.

But Millwall’s offensive system is mature and the tactical thinking is clear. They can score many wonderful goals. The goal opportunities created are familiar to the audience. The difference is only how to score. Larsen volleys. Or stop the ball first and adjust it with a normal push. The head coach often thinks more about the process of creating opportunities. How to seize the opportunities is just a question of the player's individual ability.

So Wenger didn't want to admit it, but he had to face this reality: Millwall's ability to create opportunities is terrifying!

On the basis of the player's ability, when the perfect balance of the team's consciousness and individual ability is reached, their offense is on the surface of the mercury, which is actually threatening frequently. Arsenal defend once, twice, three times, if only simply Defense may also limit Millwall, but once they can't keep up with Millwall's speed in the offensive and defensive rhythm, they have a very high chance of being penetrated when the offense and defense are converted.

This was perhaps the most difficult time for Wenger since he joined Arsenal. He couldn't figure out how to control Millwall today.

One way is the easiest and most effective, that is, long pass rushing, not entangled with Millwall in the midfield, attack directly behind the opponent, as long as the striker runs fast, the pass is accurate, simple and rough can be overcome Millwall's defense, but in fact, this requires Arsenal to have world-class forwards and passers. The pass is not allowed, and the point cannot be grabbed. The long pass is just a relief to give the ball to the opponent.

Precisely, this type of forward or midfielder, Arsenal did not.

Wenger and Aldridge are like the same kind of people, tactical skywalkers, stubborn, and unswervingly realize their football ideals, so these people will refuse to bow to reality, even in the battle of trapped beasts In a bad situation, too, Wenger, it is impossible for the team to abandon the original style. Even if he can see that Ovimas and Pires can hardly exert any side counterattack power, Wenger still will not Change, a kind of persistence, like dignity, can never be abandoned.

And Aldridge, the Aldridge who directs the game on the sidelines, is really not recognized by the six parents!

At this moment, his mind was running fast, Arsenal's score fell behind, Millwall continued to insist on the original style of play will certainly maintain the advantage, but this is not enough, far from enough!

Arsenal will not let mermaids, when the butcher knife is on their necks, they will resist, and will be deadly, even if their hands and feet are cut off, they will open their mouths like a beast using their teeth to fight back.

What changes will they make?

When the outside world talked about France winning the first World Cup, Yakai reduced the classic tactical evolution of the striker and strengthened the midfield, Wenger's Arsenal won the Premier League championship, what is the strength of the front waist?

Counterattack!

That side road storm that is regarded as gorgeous by the outside world is as beautiful as poetry!

Ha ha ha, Pires, Ovimas.

Aldridge raised his lips and meditation: Pires in his left hand and Ovimas in his right hand.

He extended his hands flat and closed his eyes, as if entering the ethereal realm, making his senses more sensitive.

A raindrop first fell on the back of his right hand. He opened his eyes and smiled more.

Then bet Ovimas!

Aldrich gestured to the players on the sidelines and pointed at Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho was slightly puzzled when he understood Aldrich's gesture.

Wasn’t he not understanding Aldridge’s tactical adjustment instructions, but rather confused: Ye changed back?

When the game restarted, Arsenal took the initiative to speed up the offense, but as in the previous case, the faster, the more anxious they are, the more bottomless they are, and at the same time, the more likely they are to make mistakes!

Aldrich paid special attention to the position of Ovimas. Unsurprisingly, Ovimas really weakened Dexon's defensive support.

This is not God's will.

Because Pires also weakened the support for Silvinho, Arsenal wanted to attack, except for the side attack, they did not do anything at all. Vieira and Petit were both offensive and defensive, but they were never a breakthrough in the middle. They It's just a series of connecting points for excessive attacking midway.

Aldridge just made a choice, whether to press Pires or Ovimas, God helped him make a decision.

Since then, Millwall has focused on attacking Dixon, not only by Ronaldinho alone, Nedved, Henry also used to support, which forced Arsenal's midfielder and defender to focus on that side.

Arsenal's formation and offensive and defensive system were completely disrupted. The defense on the right was dangerously threatened and forced by high pressure. When the defense was successful, he could only make a big foot and save the ball to Millwall.

Petit made another save, but the ball didn't kick far. Makelele rushed in front of Bergkamp to kick the ball back to the frontcourt. Nedvide retreated and kicked the ball to Ronaldinho.

Five seconds ago, Arsenal had just completed a defense on this side. The midfielder and defender were all concentrated on this side. The formation had just spread out. Suddenly saw Ronaldinho taking the ball again here and subconsciously rushed over to defend again. But this time Ronaldinho did not stand out. He looked up and observed a half-height cross from the spot.

Pirlo, who was inserted in the middle, took the ball in a large free area in the penalty area and pretended to take a long shot, forcing Adams to rush to block him, but he faked a true pass and kicked the ball behind Adams.

Larson shot out laterally, without giving Silvino any chance, and took a step after touching the ball and chose to push.

This is not as shocking as the volley volley when he first scored the goal. The ball pushed out drew a straight line against the turf and rolled towards the corner of the goal. Seaman fell on the ground and his fingertip just touched At the ball, the ball refracted slightly and then hit the inside of the goal post, still rolling into the goal.

This goal scored four or two pounds, and he completely defeated the goalkeeper with a tricky shooting angle, which made Seaman unwilling, but helpless.

"Larsen scored twice! Millwall scored another goal at the end of the first half and Arsenal couldn't resist the opponent's tidal attack!"

"Millwall can continue to attack in the face of Arsenal, creating huge pressure on his opponents. Petit's goal may be due to rain, or it may be really a rush between the decline. Who knows, but Millwall The player’s calmness when handling the ball is admirable, Ronaldinho crosses the middle, Pirlo assists Larson, this is the performance of the top players!"

When the first half ended, Wenger's face looked slightly pale. He took the lead in the player channel. It seems that he might be too short for this halftime break.

Arsenal fell behind by two goals at halftime. At the beginning of the second half, Wenger saw the position of Millwall players and suddenly glanced at Aldridge standing on the sidelines with surprise.

Is Millwall going to guard?

The situation on the field looked like Millwall had withdrawn about 15 yards in the key defensive area, which can be seen from the position of the defender line. At the same time, he did not panic when attacking. momentum.

Is two-ball insurance?

At least from the scene of the first half, Arsenal has no chance.

Plus three days later Millwall is going to play in the Champions League away game, and it seems logical that they started to stay behind.

Arsenal also have to play in the Champions League, but they are playing at home. At the same time, their players cannot think about the Champions League game in a few days!

Although this is just a London derby, it is not as full of hatred as their rival rival Tottenham. But with Arsenal winning the previous season, Millwall has won twice in the past three seasons. The two are direct competitors. The attention, importance, and gold content of the derby in the same city can not directly affect the competition situation of the league. It is a straight-line upward trend.

As a result, Arsenal’s players could not accept the defeat. Last season’s final game was finally killed here. Now, they have been beaten without a fight. It seems that Millwall is getting stronger and Arsenal are getting weaker. They It is impossible to send such a signal to the outside world, and it must not, this has a great impact on morale!

There is no need for Wenger to give any instructions on the sidelines, Arsenal's players start to fight, start to grab, and start to press forward in formation!

if not?

Did Ibrahim, Bogkamp, ​​Pires and Ovimas turn things around?

Relying on them alone, Millwall's midfield defensive line cannot be broken, and even the goalkeeper's face is invisible!

The double backs come up to respond, and the full-backs must also come up to exert pressure. This is not to play the weak team. It can create opportunities by playing less and playing more. Against Millwall, at least the number of offenses cannot be different by 2 or more!

Millwall played tepidly. Whenever the defense succeeded and the ball reached Pirlo's feet, Arsenal's players immediately ran to the backcourt to set up a defensive position, fearing that Millwall would fight back quickly.

However, when they returned to their position and looked at it again, Millwall's offense chose to play steadily, and Pirlo was not in a hurry to control the ball.

After three consecutive offensive and defensive transitions, Pirlo failed to threaten the ball or increase the strength of the forward pass. Arsenal’s players did not withdraw deeper when they returned to the defense. They chose to fight back directly on the spot, but their thinking was unable to unify. Some players are back in position, some players are intercepting.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Aldridge suddenly said to himself: "It's time."
