Chapter 978: Surrender

For a 38-round league in a season, 53 minutes may not be a big deal.
But for a 90-minute decisive battle.
In 53 minutes, the battle did not even finish half.
Millwall took the lead, but Aldridge did not let the team back to fight back.
Because there is more time.
Moreover, although Millwall will be anti-reverse, they are better at oppressing the offense, giving up their best style of play in such a tense and fierce game, and retreating second. But football is not a science or an arithmetic problem. Even with a 1% probability, it will always appear on the court.
Aldridge did not dare to let the team back, and now the team is running perfectly, freely, the further back, the two young stars in the midfield, the greater the pressure on Alonso and De Rossi, because The closer you are to the penalty area, even if the opponent is on their defensive line, you don't need to break through. As long as you have time, you can create a threatening long shot.
So Aldridge didn't let the team play defense.
Another consideration is that in this 90-minute game, Millwall’s combat plan is divided into several stages. It is not yet time to play all the cards. The score is temporarily an advantage, the situation is very good, but the future , Aldridge believes that Millwall’s situation will be better!
Fighting against Arsenal's position or counterattack was very successful before Bergkamp's marking.
But when Bergkamp took the initiative to retreat, Vieira's position premise was, in part, indeed beyond Audridge's expectations.
According to the inertia of the 99% forward, when the score is behind and needs a counterattack, basically the forward will choose to move forward!
Instead of retreating!
Therefore, if Bergkamp's top line is parallel to Ibrahimovic's position, Aldridge is not surprised.
Even the premise of Vieira's position is predictable.
But Bogkamp's retracement was not expected by Audridge.
It’s not uncommon for football to be a demon.
Although Bergkamp is a fake number 10 in the eyes of Aldridge, his range of activities, the main area of ​​action for the offensive, is in the interception circle of Alonso and De Rossi, and the back of the double back midfielder Plugged in, and Nedved followed the harassment interception, Millwall successfully cut off the connection between Vieira and Bergkamp, ​​which is the back and forth of the Arsenal attack.
At the same time also cut off Bergkamp's contact with the wing, unless he runs to pull the edge.
Vieira can only play the ball to the side, then most of the players on the side will be forced into a state of isolation, whether Arsenal counterattacks or positional battles. Even with high-quality crosses, Nesta and Southgate I can freeze Ibrahimovic well.
Now that Bergkamp retraces on a large scale, Millwall's midfielder faces a dilemma that they used to plague opponents in the past.
That is, the core of the organization is far away from the defensive zone of the lower back. If the lower back is boldly pushed forward, it will expose the empty space behind it, but if it does not go forward, it will allow the opponent to successfully gain a foothold in the midfield.
When Pirlo first organized after the delay, I don't know how many opponents were unscrupulously overwhelmed, and then Pirlo easily passed the ball and hit behind the back, instigating a threat of attack.
De Rossi will certainly not take the initiative, Alonso will keep a certain distance from De Rossi, Nedved distracted Vieira, plus Van Bronckhorst and Pires on the left side of Arsenal. Crossing the pressure, Pires' inward turn turned to the forward waist, allowing Arsenal midfielder to compete with Millwall.
In an offensive in the 41st minute, Bergkamp, ​​Vieira, Van Bronckhorst made a triangle pass, and then Bergkamp suddenly passed the ball wide to the foot of Yongberg on the other side.
Ibrahimovic withdrew and responded, after hitting the depth, suddenly passed the ball back to the post-plugged Bergkamp. When Alonso and De Rossi caught the eye and saw the success of the siege, Bergkamp suddenly felt like a scalpel. 'S straight plug passed the ball to the left wing again.
Schneider originally received inside defense Pires, at this time Pires suddenly pulled forward, Schneider chased back so that Pires had room to catch the ball.
Pires took control of the ball, changed his direction and walked inside. He did not go to Ibrahimovic, Bergkamp. He saw Vieira plugged in later. This pass line was sharply caught by Schneider. When Piret At the moment of passing the ball, Schneider's foot was destroyed. The ball just left Pire's foot and was blocked by Schneider's foot less than half a meter away. The ball refracted and did not roll towards Vieira.
In the fight between Van Bronckhorst and De Rossi, De Rossi took the first step to poke the ball to the right!
Cristiano Ronaldo led the ball in the backcourt on the right, turned around, started to accelerate, and the speed of the front suddenly burst into the table!
The fast-moving Portuguese kid seems to be driving the entire Highbury forward, striding the ball with a large stride, while calmly observing the situation ahead.
The speed is very fast, Millwall is 3 to 4 this time!
Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Henry.
Arsenal's defense is left with a single midfielder and a three-back.
Silva closely followed Ronaldinho and had to prevent Ronaldinho from plugging in.
Ronaldo brought the ball to the front of the penalty area and turned inward.
The fans of the crazy lions in the Highbury stand cried passionately and watched Ronaldo passionately, hoping that this kid could help the team enter another one!
Enter another one!
Arsenal is done!
Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball inside and Silva still dared not come to block him. Fearing that he would move, Ronaldinho was completely unmarked. If Ronaldinho directly charged, Silva would have no worries, but Ronaldinho Ambush-like oppression was formed on the periphery, directly holding Silva down.
Although Arsenal have three defenders, they have a very delicate composition.
Two central defenders plus one full back.
When Cristiano Ronaldo cuts, Touré moves over to defend Cristiano Ronaldo's direction towards the goal. His move will inevitably open the defense of the defender.
Henry's position is very flexible and confusing. First, as Toure approached Ronaldo, when Campbell moved with him to this side, Henry suddenly stopped and changed to run the empty space between Campbell and Lauren. , Move forward!
Cristiano Ronaldo saw this opportunity, he passed the ball diagonally to the Arsenal penalty area.
The ball rolled past Toure and over Campbell's back, making Campbell unable to form an interception. At the same time, Lehman did not abandon the goal and the ball rolled smoothly to the back point!
Trying to keep calm, Lehman moved quickly to the point behind the goal. Cristiano Ronaldo tried to ensure that Campbell could not intercept it, and then passed a little deep. Henry, who was like a rabbit, did not let the ball roll past him, but he could only barely finish Shooting, the whole person strides forward, shoveling!
The toes barely kicked the ball towards the goal, but could not perfectly control the strength and angle.
boom!
The ball hit the outside of the goal post and the bottom line popped up!
Highbury’s Arsenal fans were shocked, their hearts beating like thunder, and Yu Pai was not gone!
Cristiano Ronaldo felt a pity while holding his head in wide eyes, but also felt incredible.
Perhaps in his mind, Henry should be faster and never miss this opportunity.
"Arsenal escaped! In order to equalize the score, they risked their offensive force, resulting in a flaw on the defensive end, C Ronaldo sent a good pass, but Henry missed this opportunity, only a little, only a bad One thing, he can’t blame Henry. He tried his best to make the ball. If the ball is slower or closer, he will definitely be able to put it into Arsenal’s goal!"
While all the spectators were still immersed in Millwall and missed another attack on Arsenal, Lehman received the ball thrown by the caddie immediately after the ball came out of the bottom line, and then he dropped the ball in the penalty area. The pass passed the ball to Van Bronckhorst who failed to defend.
Aldridge called Ronaldo's name aloud on the sidelines, pointing at Van Bronckhorst and asking him to force him.
Just now Van Bronckhorst had no effect in catching Ronaldo. Now, it is replaced by Ronaldo to chase him. Similarly, Van Bronckhorst can't speed up. Just sprinting back and chasing exhausted the power of a sprint, Ronaldo It's almost the same. He just drove the ball and dribble, and now he's also a little breathless.
He didn't stick the ball too much, but just waited for his teammates to run while dribbling the ball forward, dodged Millwall's encirclement, and when he had the available spot, he immediately ejected the ball.
Bergkamp pulled quickly, and was close to the side of Pires. When Schneider followed Pires, Bergkamp could catch the ball without interference.
After Bergkamp touched the ball, he walked inside and came to the defense of Alonso and De Rossi. He passed the ball to Vieira who rushed up.
I thought Vieira could throw away Nedved during the forward rush, and it didn't take long. Even if one or two seconds later, Bergkamp would run again and hit the offensive line.
However, Vieira was destroyed by a diagonal tackle from Nedved, but as Vieira fell, the referee signaled Nedved foul and blew the whistle.
Nedvide pointed at the ball and loudly told the referee that he touched the ball first, and there was absolutely no dangerous action.
However, the referee kept shaking his head, Nedvide shoveled the ball with his right foot, and then tripped Vieira with his left foot. This is the reason for the referee's penalty.
In peacetime, Vieira must get up and follow Nedved's theory, but at this moment, he quickly got up from the ground, and after Bogkamp kicked the ball to him, he quickly bent down and pressed the ball Set, and then return the ball to Bergkamp.
Free kick!
A poor rhythm, the Millwall defense was overwhelmed, and suddenly a little chaotic. After Bergkamp stopped the ball, a middle-distance oblique long pass kicked the ball to the right side of the road near the bottom line.
Wingberg succeeded in counter-offside, throwing Ashley Cole behind him, dribbling to the inside after the bottom line was stopped, and Millwall's back line quickly retreated.
Pires moved into the penalty area at this time, causing Nesta and Schneider to wrap up. Bogkamp also made a strong charge. Southgate had to take care of and respond to Ibrahimovic on his front, De Rossi and Azerbaijan. Ronso immediately followed Bogkamp's income into the penalty area, and Nedvide also blocked Vieira's side, staring at each other incessantly.
At the moment of great attention, there was a point on the Arsenal front that suddenly retreated!
Ibrahimovic!
Yong Berry knocked the ball back to the right of the top of the arc of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic suddenly left unmarked. When he touched the ball, Alonso ran to the other side to make a defensive posture, and Ibrahimovic pulled the ball to the right. In one step, the shooting angle flashed out, the long legs were raised, and a heavy artillery shot out!
This ball, like a meteor, flew into the corner of Millwall's goal in the blink of an eye!
It was definitely a shot over 100 kilometers per hour!
Butt was stunned, he had no chance to save!
Highbury, Arsenal fans stood up and cheered, as if to regain the momentum of the home!
Arsenal will run crazy to celebrate, and the party Ibrahimovic, standing on the spot and raising his arms to make a domineering expression of who he is, he looked around slowly, no one in sight, even if Yong Berry jumped He could not make him bend his head and bow his head when he was on his back!
"Arsenal equalized the score! OMG! Ibrahimović made a terrifying shot! He shot at Millwall's goal in the penalty area! The score became 1:1, 1:1, Millwall only stayed at the top of the standings for 5 minutes! 2 minutes before the end of the first half, it is likely that the final battle of this game will be in the second half! That will definitely be more intense!"
Wenger waved his arms up and down, exhilarating his eyebrows, and his face was bright, as if returning to the image of a gentle professor in an instant.
Aldridge’s expression on the spot remained unchanged. He didn’t even go to the fourth official to determine whether Nedvide’s tackle should be fouled. He knew that if he argued, the team’s attention would be distracted. .
And this decisive battle is officially kicked off, and the time to really decide the outcome has not yet arrived.
Aldridge is waiting, watching the time, paying close attention to the changes of Arsenal, the real wrestling, testing whether Arsenal can win the league championship this season, is counting down in his mind...
