Chapter 891: Time to go!


At the beginning of the game, Aldridge's attention was completely placed on the field game. Watching the ball in the box can see the whole scene, which is better than the head coach's vision. Intuitively, the head coach needs insight The situation of the whole court, the vision is relatively flat, not only to wait and see, but also to make up for the overall situation, the utilization of both sides of the stadium space, and overlooked in the box, at a glance.
Arsenal encountered in the second round of the league, this is not a good schedule, if Aldridge is still the head coach, this is okay, but after all, it is a new period of crazy lions, the only positive factor is that they have the advantage of home.
Klinsmann made obvious changes to the game. First, he was conservative. Arsenal is good at counterattacks on the wing. It is correct not to give the opponent counterattack space. Secondly, the rhythm will not be pulled too fast. It is mainly stable. This is Klinsmann's home debut. In case of a loss, the blow will be too big. It is roughly the same as the idea when Aldridge coached Millwall eight years ago. The loss is too morale, and the most need to establish prestige and When gathering people's hearts, avoiding losing is the first priority.
Because of this, the game seemed to be unsettled. When the time on the scoreboard entered the eighth minute, the Lion King Stadium suddenly burst into warm applause without warning. All home fans stood up in the stands and applauded.
"Oh, Millwall fans stood up and applauded tacitly in the 8th minute of the game, not for the splendid pictures that appeared in the game, but to pay tribute to the current club chairman Sir Hall in this way, he coached Millwall 8 In 2010, he created a brilliant achievement for Millwall, and made every crazy lion fan adore from the heart."
Applause lasted for a whole minute. Just 8 minutes after the time on the scoreboard, the Lion Roar fans on the South Stand organized a shouting sentence together.
"His Majesty Aldrich Hall!"
The live video captured Aldridge sitting in the box with a smile on his face, and when he heard the roar of the fans, he covered his forehead with one hand, which seemed quite embarrassing.
While his two sons, Burt looked up at his father with admiration, Earl smiled like a little angel eating snacks.
Klinsmann carefully supervised the battle on the sidelines and could not ignore the applause and shouts of the fans. At this time, his heart was bitter: here, he cannot escape his shadow!
When it was time to be the master, although Klinsmann and Aldridge had some differences in player transfers, at the competitive level, Aldridge not only asked about the team’s competitive affairs, but also never said a word in front of the media. This is to Klinsmann’s satisfaction, but his pressure source, in addition to the height that Millwall has reached, is that Aldridge has become an invisible at the Lion King Stadium. No, he lives in the shadow of Aldridge.
When will this shadow be eliminated?
Klinsmann didn't know and wouldn't think about this issue, but he couldn't help thinking.
Arsenal will treat this game as a rush to fight. In the eyes of the outside world, Millwall has lost one of the most powerful forces, that is, Audridge, who can still win the Premier League after selling half of the main team. A man who can return to the top and establish a dynasty in Europe.
Klinsmann now?
It is to kill him as soon as possible, not to give him a chance to get a stable position in Millwall!
As a result, Arsenal became a little more aggressive 20 minutes after the opening, but instead showed flaws on the defensive end. Originally Arsenal’s defensive system became extremely stable this season. Campbell partnered with seasoned Keon at the peak, midfielder Ella partner Silva, this tough is a mess, they are good at fast counterattack, kicking the ball, the speed can also rush under the premise of space, but if you do not fight back, the position battle is lack of creativity.
Arsenal, who was unable to calm down, quickly paid the price. After a halftime overtime and failed to play an imaginative cooperation, Schneider broke the ball in the backcourt and found a small long-range front pass. Luo, the latter also came with a long diagonal pass, Klose and Larson running in front of the position shifted, and finally Klose moved to the rear point to shoot for merit.
Seeing Klose score, Aldridge stood up and raised his fists with a smile on his face, even picked up Burt and turned around in place. After putting Burt down, Earl also joined in the fun, and Aldridge then again He also hugged.
Instead, Klinsmann did not celebrate the goal too much, but shouted into the court to let the players focus on the defense.
Wenger was in a bad mood and was angry about the team's losing the ball.
What makes him angry is still behind.
Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho scored a goal and broke the goal to expand the score to 2:0.
Facing the hotly contested Arsenal, Millwall led by two goals at home, making almost everyone think that in the post-Aldrich era, Klinsmann can continue to make this dynasty team the biggest champion of all championships. .
Ronaldinho ran to the side of the court after scoring a goal and made a salute in the direction of Audridge's box, which caused Audridge to stand up and applaud him.
If the London Derby team in the first half contested more with Millwall, more experience in the big scene, and the team concept was better, so that Arsenal could not start, then in the second half Arsenal began to violate itself. The technical and tactical team concept is changing the game, and eventually Millwall’s short board is exposed in the local confrontation.
In the second half, Arsenal did not play a wonderful team attack. Instead, they knocked on Millwall's city gate in a brutal way with a strong individualism. Bergkamp's retreat should pass Lampard. After attracting Pedretti, the ball was handed over to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic was still on the scene with Materazzi, but today he exploded Barzali and forced out the opponent in an unreasonable way. , To play tricks on his feet, made Barzali angrily stepped forward, and then simply turned by Ibrahimovic, and was very clever to allow Barzali to grab Southgate to stop the defense assist In the line, Ibrahimovic sent the ball into the goal with a single pole, and then arrogantly gestured while walking back to celebrate.
That picture made Klinsmann speechless. It was not how clean Balzali was, but the previous one, after being stuck with Ibrahimovic, he was squeezed away by the other party, and it was too embarrassing to put it on the guard of the Premier League giants. Once you get close, you can be wiped off by acceleration, you can be penetrated by two-by-one, but if you are directly squeezed away, the other party will not even swing the center of gravity, which is justified.
In the final stage of the game, Arsenal scored another goal through a corner kick. It was Ibrahimovic who made the achievement. He didn’t even use the header but tried to stop the ball in the penalty area, but the ball hit a Millwall player. On the player's body, it seems that Millwall's player helped him to stop the ball, and then Ibrahimovic volleyed the ball into the net. The bad luck was Balzali.
Wenger breathed a sigh of relief. Klinsmann shook his head silently on the sidelines. He felt a little suffocated by his opponents equalizing the score in this way.
Because it is foreseeable, the central defender is a short board. He has talked to the club management, that is, his boss, Aldridge, many times.
Perhaps it is wrong to sell Metzelder.
Balzali's mistake in this game caused him to lose his main position. Klinsmann planned to use Neil to play the main guard.
When Arsenal equalized the score, the live camera was aimed at the box where Aldridge was located. Aldridge did not express his dissatisfaction with a blank expression, but talked to Puskas and smiled bitterly.
In Aldrich’s eyes, Balzali’s turnover was not too serious. After all, Balzali was still growing. Not every opponent had a striker like Ibrahimovic. What he valued was that after losing Pirlo, Mill Wall's offensive system has indeed fallen a lot.
When encountering a tough team such as Arsenal, make full use of the space of the field, the requirements for organization and scheduling will be higher, not only to use the width of the field, but also to tear the opponent's three-line defense in the expansion and contraction of the entire midfield. Ronaldo is on the wing of the frontcourt, Pirlo is in the midfield and backcourt, and Nedved is able to tear the opponent's front, back, left, and right directions. Now, at best, the wings use the width of the field. Lampard's organizational ability is lacking in creativity. The pass success rate is not low, but they are all formulaic passes and are too predictable.
Therefore, when Arsenal carried out the defensive counterattack tactics in the second half, Millwall's positional battle could not be very effective.
A two-ball lead was tied to a more or less game that caused the fans to be somewhat lost, but they did not lose the advantage of the scene. However, the backcourt defense system, from the backline to the weakening of the back line, is still clear at a glance.
Three days later, in the third round of the Premier League, Millwall played against the London Derby again and challenged the farmer Fulham away. Klinsmann just adjusted a starter, which was to replace Barzali with Neal, and Millwall won the game. By the way, a 4:0 victory swept away the haze that was tied by Arsenal.
Tigana’s reforms at Fulham seem nondescript, and indeed there is a shadow of technology flow, but Kaner, who is not struggling with hard power, meets Millwall, a behemoth. Fulham is far worse than technology, tougher than non-hard The director is much inferior to the team. In order to maintain dignity at home, he didn't want to attack, and was directly crushed by Millwall.
Klinsmann led the team to play four official games in August. Not counting the community shield, 2 wins and 1 draw in the league was satisfactory. After defeating Fulham, he immediately led the team to the European Super Cup. Feyenoord from the Netherlands.
During this period, Aldridge felt at ease to be a good man at home. At the same time, he also met with the new team of England national team coaches to determine the job responsibilities in early September, so that everyone can be prepared.
On August 28, the qualifying round of the Champions League in the new season ended.
Two days later, Millwall flew to Monaco to meet with Feyenoord at the top of the European Cup.
On the same day, Aldridge was tidying up his clothes in his bedroom in the morning. He was humming in a tie and the bedroom door was gently pushed away from the room. I saw Earl holding a mad lion doll and rubbing his eyes. Walked in and looked up to see Aldridge dressed neatly and asked in a low voice curiously, "Dad, where are you going?"
Aldridge squatted down and kissed his face, both sons were sensible, but no, Ewen was still asleep in the bedroom, and Earl spoke very quietly.
"Well, go abroad for a turn."
"I will go too, will you?"
"Okay, then go back and change your clothes. By the way, ask your brother if he wants to go together."
Earl dragged the blue lion doll back lightly and noticed that he was quickening his pace after going out.
Aldrich took out a clean slim suit jacket from the closet, put it on and looked in the mirror, and finally pulled the tie off, laughing to himself: "Nothing happened, um, it's time to shoot. "
