Chapter 380: Martial arts

The pace of the game in the first half of the second half was exactly the same as the whole first half, dull.
When the game came to the 60th minute, fans of the gunmen in the stands became slightly anxious.
Millwall is their big enemy. The new season's decline in strength, plus the absence of Nedved and Ronaldinho in today's game, this is a good time for Arsenal to win the key battle. This battle is worth 6 points!
The fans of the crazy lions are comforting themselves. Our strength has declined, but the scene has not fallen. Today we played away and the team performed well.
Wenger struggled and looked frequently at Aldridge, and he hoped Millwall would attack.
You are behind in points, don't you fight for the half-time championship?
Arsenal's positional battles do not have an advantage in the midfield at all. The two teams are completely in the state of the midfield pair. Millwall strengthens the midfield and has one less forward. Arsenal has little room for positional battles or counterattacks. , No threat at all.
The same is true for Millwall, where the offensive force is too small and is restricted by the Arsenal line of defense.
After another 5 minutes, Millwall made a substitution, two at a time.
Aldridge was still sitting. Klinsmann took Henry and Larson to the sidelines to prepare for substitutions. He held a tactical book and raised the task with the two after playing. The two nodded while listening carefully.
Seeing this scene, the narrator was excited.
"Millwall is going to be replaced by two heavyweight players. Larson is back from injury, Hall is about to give him about 25 minutes to see what he can do, Henry has been in good shape recently, he is a threat on the court Very intuitive, Millwall seems to be working hard in the final stage."
Wenger is more excited than the narrator.
He stood up to remind the defense to pay attention.
Millwall finally couldn't help but attack!
Is this a good thing?
Wenger seems to be a good thing. As long as the opponent attacks and provides firepower for the striker, then Arsenal only needs to withstand the offense, and the counterattack after turning from defense to offense is their specialty.
Larson came on to replace Van Nistelrooy.
Henry came on to replace Glenshire.
"Hall seems to use substitutions, but the offense should change. Larson is the center, Henry plays the winger, the two can complete the offense in the offense, and Van der Meide provides the two with firepower on the other side. support."
Wenger thought Millwall would attack aggressively after the substitution, but he was wrong and frowned on the sidelines.
Millwall really is a substitution and the tactical style has not changed.
Henry’s role in replacing Glencharr is no different. Relying on individual soldiers, Larson is on the front line and the same as the vanity Van Nistelrooy. There is no fire support. As for Van der Med, his pass It is useless to hit the ball. Larson is caught. How can he get it?
Wenger didn't understand. If you don't change your style of play and don't invest more troops in your offense, what will Millwall do?
With less and less game time, Aldridge watched the game lukewarmly from start to finish.
He found that in fact, as long as the goal is set lower, he himself does not have any pressure.
See who is suffocating!
Millwall's first goal today is not to concede a goal. What about Arsenal's lead? When testing the depth of the bench in the second half of the season, Millwall's main force will return to the team one after another. Arsenal rely on this group of people to see who can make it to the end!
Wenger is really anxious. Arsenal can't win Millwall at home and may be distanced by Manchester United.
Even if Aldridge claims in front of Fleet Street to win the league title this season, can Wenger believe it? Who knows if this is a psychological battle!
In order to encourage the morale of the team, Aldridge set a high goal for the players to struggle. In fact, this season is only to train young people?
Let Ronaldinho, Van Nistelrooy, Van der Med, Duff, etc. these players further grow and improve, the real strength will be next season, whether in terms of player ability or technical and tactical maturity.
For Arsenal to defend their title, they must win the game, morale and points, both of them need to win!
Wenger makes the team more adventurous and direct.
However, Millwall's seven-man defense was impenetrable. Arsenal advanced to the middle of the attack in the 83rd minute. Pires' pass was intercepted by Gattuso and turned around. Millwall's counterattack came!
Lampard handed the ball to Van der Mede and immediately inserted. There was only Petit in front of him in the defensive line. Vieira just went to the middle to meet the failure and was chasing back at full speed.
Van der Mede hit the ball immediately after receiving the ball, Larsson retreated to receive the ball, the Arsenal defense was like a big enemy.
Larsson did not wait for Adams to come up and then passed the ball back to the inserted Lampard. The latter kicked the ball and hit the left side of the penalty area.
Henry!
After Henry Inchee took the ball, Arsenal fans seemed to smell the death in the stands.
But Henry passed the ball diagonally to the other side of the penalty area. Who is this ball for?
Adams stared closely at Larson, but his eyes were full of incredible, Henry's ball, not actually passed to Larson!
Aldridge's eyes flickered and he focused on this attack.
Larson is just a guise in the center position. He has just recovered from injury, and the actual threat will be greatly reduced. However, as long as he plays, he can attract the opponent to defend heavily. If he wants to directly threaten Arsenal's goal, I am afraid that some strong men will be difficult.
So Aldridge actually put him in the middle of the game.
As for Henry, who Wenger named and promoted in Monaco, wouldn't Wenger focus on reminding the defense before the game?
There are only a few people left in Millwall's attack. Will Henry of the summer transfer king be ignored?
When Henry takes the ball, the Arsenal defense will surely focus on him.
This golden defense line is easy to defend against 1 person, it is no problem to defend against 2 people, but the attention is above, there is Larson and Henry as guise, Millwall's real killer, it will be created when the third person appears The real threat!
Henry's diagonal pass is behind Arsenal's defense and rolls directly behind the goal.
There, a man outflanked him and pushed the ball into the top corner of the goal.
"The goal has been scored! VanderMead has become a hero! The Dutch haven't entered the penalty zone once in more than 80 minutes! Even one time! But this time, he scored the goal and scored the goal, Millwall away one The ball is ahead of the defending champion Arsenal. This ball is really unexpected, but this ball reflects the characteristics of Millwall's quick counterattack. The team cooperated tacitly and the offense was unexpected. We all think that Henry or Larson will become the finisher. , Even if the Lampard is plugged in, Arsenal may focus on marking, but the Vandermead, who is usually more inclined to assist, has become the terminator. This is definitely the tactical arrangement before Hall, otherwise VanderMead will not risk Behind the risk of leaving a huge piece of empty space behind, they entered the penalty area, and they knew how fast Arsenal's counterattack!"
Aldridge finally stood up after scoring a goal, his arms shaking slightly up and down in front of him.
Wenger shook his head angrily.
Millwall's tactics have not changed, but the offensive focus has changed.
No one can imagine that Aldridge replaced Henry and Larson to actually cover VanderMead!
In Highbury's stand, the Gunners fans were depressed.
Is this Christmas a tragedy?
The crazy lion fans were excited.
Good fellow, this Christmas gift is not bad.
They think it's a good draw, after all, as a guest game, plus the team really lacks a few generals.
But now there are less than 10 minutes left in the game, and the victory is in sight, which makes them overjoyed.
With a one-goal lead, Aldridge gestured to the team to stabilize them, concentrate on the defense, and attack more cautiously. Without a good chance, he controlled the ball first and waited for Arsenal to come up and grab Time, space is bigger.
Wenger stood on the side of the court with his arms around his chest, his brain running fast.
Arsenal played in the usual way, it seems that it is impossible to break through Millwall's door.
In terms of the thickness of the bench, Arsenal are not as good as the opponent, especially the rare soldiers who can play.
There are not many personnel transfers he can make, so he can only change his tactics.
He gave the players a gesture.
In the last 3 minutes of the game, Arsenal's style of play changed completely.
Seeing the situation on the field, Aldridge rushed to the sidelines to gesture Lampard and told him to return to the penalty area!
Arsenal actually started a long pass again!
And their players have good footwork. The pass is not to find the head of the person, but to directly pass the area behind the defender, let Bergkamp go to the grab point, and Bergkamp's stopping technique is master-level.
If it were normal, Millwall was not afraid of the opponent's long pass.
But 85 minutes before the game, Arsenal has always been playing ground pass and cut cooperation, Millwall players have been subconsciously used to the opponent's style of play. The sudden change of the opponent will definitely make Millwall uncomfortable, just like Arsenal Suddenly faced van der Mead's pre-intervention by surprise!
Just three seconds after Aldridge’s adjustment, Lampard had not ran back to the penalty area. Pire made a long diagonal pass on the left side. The half-height ball bypassed the gap between the defenders. Seeing the ball going out of the bottom line, the front was inserted. But Bergkamp touched the ball. Ferdinand, who was eager to defend, rushed over and stretched his foot to destroy the ball, but Bergkamp's foot stopped and the ball rolled out of the bottom line. Ferdinand kicked in Bergkand Pu's feet.
Bergkamp fell to the ground in the penalty area, the referee blew his whistle, and took a penalty kick!
"Arsenal scored a penalty! The game was nearing the end, they scored a penalty! Ferdinand is complaining to the referee, he thinks that Bergkamp missed the ball, he is not a foul."
Aldridge went to the fourth official theory, he also felt that it was not a penalty.
"The ball is out of bounds first, the referee can award Ferdinand foul without the ball, but it is not a penalty, you can give him a red card! But the game should be in a static state!"
Not all fouls in the penalty area are penalty kicks. For example, if the ball is out of bounds and the ball is not sent out, there is a foul between players in the penalty area. The referee may award a foul, but not a penalty.
This is a matter of opinion. If the referee thinks the ball is out of bounds, then the game has entered a suspended state. At this time, Ferdinand's foul does not interfere with the game, but simply harms Bergkamp.
However, between the electro-optical flint, the referee's finger took a penalty.
Aldridge was difficult to accept. He had been talking to the fourth official for a long time, and finally talked to Wenger on the sidelines.
"The refereeing level of the Premier League must be improved, it must be, otherwise it will hinder the progress of the overall league level."
"I agree with this."
He also didn't want to argue with Wenger about the penalty, it didn't make sense, and neither of them belonged to the unreasonable kind.
Bogkamp personally fought, and the penalty kick was done in one fell swoop.
Both teams were slightly conservative in the final injury stoppage time period, and no one was afraid of losing the ball again. The two teams finally shook hands 1:1.
Aldridge specifically waited for the referee to leave the field after the game. They communicated with each other. The referee insisted on his judgment. He determined that the foul occurred before the ball went out of bounds. At the same time, the action between Bergkamp and Ferdinand was What happened coherently was not an independent technical foul.
Aldridge has nothing to say about this, and he can't always tell the referee: Go and watch the replay.
