Chapter 389: Professor forced to help

In the same round of Millwall's 4-0 victory over Newcastle United, Manchester United won Everton at home, Arsenal beat Coventry at home, Chelsea beat Aston Villa away, and also returned to the league. With the remaining eight rounds, the four teams in the championship group opened the gap with the latter team. The Premier League has maintained a stimulating competitive atmosphere from the beginning of the season to the final sprint, and now Millwall takes the lead. machine.
Millwall's three-line battle, all fronts have high voices to win the championship, which is obviously the biggest focus of English football.
In the FA Cup quarter-final battle, Millwall will go to Highbury to challenge Arsenal.
At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge announced the roster and starting lineup in advance without concealment.
He still uses the bench in the cup, even if his opponent is Arsenal.
David Miller was very puzzled. He asked directly in front of Aldridge: "What is Millwall worried about? You have two goals in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next week, leading the league 4 points, the FA Cup away from Arsenal, if you win, you can enter the semi-finals, there is a chance to win the championship on the third line, why not play the full main force now? Half of the main force is also okay."
Aldridge had a good relationship with Miller, so he answered the other party's questions frankly.
"I pay more attention to the long-term construction of the team and give young players the opportunity to exercise in important games. Maybe you will say that these substitute players usually play a lot of games, but the intensity of the game, the degree of importance, and the strength of the opponent vary. , Facing Arsenal tomorrow is a test for them, and I choose to trust them."
"If you lose?"
"It is normal to win or lose. I can accept any result of the game. The key is the process of the game. The rule of the football world is that the winner is strong, not the strong. The tomorrow's game, we are the weaker side, it does not matter, the players play on the spot The effect is what I care about most. As long as we play well, we also have a chance to win."
The next day, Millwall left Highbury.
The stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people, was full, and even the newly appointed FA Football Federation Chairman came to the scene to watch the FA Cup strong dialogue.
After Wiseman resigned and took the blame last year, the position of the FA's chairman was vacant. Thompson, who came from the local league, became the acting chairman for six months and became the chairman of the FA.
Thompson from the local league naturally has the support of local league forces, and the power of the Premier League in the English Football Association opposes his election. However, in the formal elections, some opponents within the FA have come to the rescue, contributing to Thompson A big victory.
On the day Thompson was successfully elected, Andrew invited Aldridge to dine out and talked about it lightly, hinting vaguely about the effectiveness of his activities on the FA side.
Aldridge is not too concerned about this kind of thing, especially who is the chairman of the FA, and he does not care. Before the establishment of the Premier League, the position of the chairman of the FA has been almost the same as that of the iron rice bowl. The chairman has been in office for an average of more than ten years. However, after the establishment of the Premier League, the rate of frequent changes of the FA chairman has become faster and faster. Due to the full-blown conflicts of interest between the Premier League and the local leagues, the struggle within the FA has also been fierce. The position of the chairman is not only as simple as showing glory in the circle, it is also a hot potato, and the incumbent is like sitting on the needle felt.
No matter who you go to stagnate, or who you intend to support, I am afraid that this person will not sit in this position steadily for a long time. In this case, why should Adrige waste time?
Wenger looked serious when he appeared in Highbury. Arsenal trailed Millwall and Manchester United in the league. There was only the FA Cup left to hit the championship. He attached great importance to today's game.
In contrast, Aldridge seemed to be relaxed, appeared on the sidelines and sat on the coach seat, chatting with Klinsmann and Jenson.
"The FA Cup quarter-final match between Arsenal and Millwall is about to start. The players of both sides enter the field. Arsenal do their best, but Millwall sent a full bench lineup. It seems that Arsenal wins more. Bigger."
Millwall really sent a full replacement today.
Goalkeeper: Keller.
Guards: Ferreira, Mills, Neil, Cole.
Midfielders: Van der Mead, Lampard, Gattuso, Glenn Charles.
Forwards: Klose, Van Nistelrooy.
442 against Arsenal's 442.
The tactics between the two are basically the same, but the paper strength seems to be significantly stronger in Arsenal.
When the game started, Millwall retired across the board and compressed the backcourt space. When the opponent's attack advanced into the dangerous area, he used a combined defense to force the opponent. After the steal was successful, he launched a quick counterattack through the side, which is consistent with Arsenal's style of play. basically the same.
Wenger is depressed, Arsenal sits at home and the opponents are on the bench, his team must be pressed out from the momentum!
But in positional battles, their team creativity is really limited. The frontal attack does not have a good effect. Instead, Millwall fights back, and the back defense frequently sounds the alarm.
In the 17th minute of the game, Bergkamp shot was saved by Keller, Keller handed the ball and launched a counterattack. The beautiful ball turned and turned away from Pires, and then took advantage of the speed to open the distance and found two forwards in the penalty area on the sideways 45-degree diagonal long pass.
Klose was killed from the rear point, and ran to the front to head the header. Seaman was caught off guard by the header. The distance was too close. He didn't make a save and the ball hit the net.
"Millwall won first in the away game, Klose made a header, and Van der Med's assists are really beautiful. Now Millwall is really terrifying. They not only kill the main lineup, but also have amazing fighting power on the bench."
The 442 formation, which has been honed since the beginning of the season, matured and formed after more than half a year, especially the power of the side attack.
Aldridge felt relieved and worked hard for most of the season. Seeing that the rest of the season is getting fewer and fewer, he can watch the team become stronger and young players have improved significantly. He has a special sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Especially in the case where the strength of several main teams was lost last summer.
Arsenal kicked off in the middle, and the players were also depressed, facing the Millwall backup lineup. If they can't take it off, they will obviously lose their face.
Anelka called the ball to Bergkamp, ​​who returned to Vieira, Klose and Fanny stepped forward to furiously grab, Vieira sent the ball straight to Bergkamp.
But Bergkamp is moving forward, and did not expect Vieira to pass the ball back to him so quickly, as it should be given to the wing player in the past.
However, as soon as the opening van der Mead and Glenn Carre played against Pires and Ovimas, Vieira either passed back or forward. He chose the latter and was successfully intercepted by Lampard.
After Lampard steals, Van der Mede runs out of space and pulls out his free time. Lampard minds to give the ball to the opponent.
After van der Mede stopped the ball, it was another straight ball.
Klose was on the receiving line, but he suddenly leaked a foot and shook Arsenal's defender. The leaked ball directly penetrated the entire back line, and Fanny successfully counterattacked the ball and went to the meeting.
Seaman did not abandon the goal, Fanny took the ball into the penalty area and steadily pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.
Adams screamed directly at Vieira!
The midfielder was intercepted and quickly counterattacked. The defenders suddenly faced the opponent's straight ball, plus Klose's flashing ball missed everyone. This lost goal was arsenal. Arsenal blamed it!
"Millwall led by two goals in less than 20 minutes! They scored two goals in a minute, Arsenal conceded a second pass from Vieira, a pass error, Van der Meide again assisted his teammates to score, Clo Ze used a running position and a missed ball to cover Fanny. The Dutch shooter was in good shape. The single-handed ball scored very calmly. Did Arsenal give up the FA Cup?"
Watching Millwall's players celebrate, Arsenal's players looked a little frustrated, Wenger hated the sky!
Aldridge forced him back today.
If Millwall has all the main force and Arsenal can play a defensive counterattack, then that is their most powerful game routine. But Millwall has all the substitutes. Are Arsenal embarrassed not to attack?
But playing like this, Arsenal's advantage can't be brought into play. Positional warfare lacks creativity. Playing one shot at a time can only rely on the player's personal ability to create opportunities.
He walked to the sidelines to let Ovimas and Pires focus on the two defenders of the opponent.
Both Paul Ferreira and Ashley Colco are down-to-earth recruits. This kind of soft persimmon is delivered to the door.
Not to mention, with Wenger's adjustment, the individual play of the wing players immediately helped Arsenal gain the upper hand in the positional battle.
Orvies faced Ashley Cole on the right side of the road, two consecutive emergency stops, one 90-degree turn, one 180-degree turn, Ashley Cole also followed, waiting for the second 180 degrees After turning around, Ashley Cole fainted, and could not see Ovimas and the ball in front of him. When he came back, the opponent had already cut the ball inside him.
He was shaken a bit terrible, Ovimas caught the defensive attention after cutting, and then knocked back near the penalty area line, followed by Petit kicked a shot to help Arsenal get a goal.
"Pettitte's long shot opened Millwall's door. Arsenal narrowed the score gap in the 28th minute of the game. Millwall's goal drop was from Ashley Cole's defensive error. He was not Ovi at all. The opponent of Maas, but considering his age, this responsibility should be borne by Hall."
Indeed, no matter what the team's problems, the head coach is to blame.
Even if he conceded the ball, Aldridge still sat on the coach's seat immobile, even with a hint of smile on his chin.
Ashley Cole spit out after losing the ball, then glanced vaguely at the coach seat, fearing that Aldridge was not satisfied with his performance.
Dutch Peter Pan's feet are fast in frequency and turn around quickly, and his body is so aggravating that Ashley Cole is still growing up regardless of his technical ability and physical quality. Is it strange that Ovimas is playing?
Since Aldrich chose to let Ashley Cole and Paul Ferreira play, it is natural to foresee this happening, but this is a necessary stage.
Defenders, early abuse is too normal, as long as you don’t get abused and have a psychological shadow, you can face the setback with your ordinary heart, which can accelerate their growth and improvement.
Arsenal's unwillingness to take advantage of it, he was determined to kill Ashley Cole, forcing Grenchar to become a full-back, and defending Ovimas.
But Arsenal's offense has been very flexible. Ovimas failed to make persistent efforts. They quickly turned the offense to the left. Pire's advantage over Ferreira was not as obvious as Ovimas' crushing Cole, but Pires stopped the ball to get rid of the inward movement smoothly, and the world wave helped Arsenal equalize the score in the penalty area after an inward cut.
"In the 40th minute of the first half, Arsenal equalized the score! It looks like they have found the state, and Pirel even shot such a world wave, which is very surprising."
