The Young Lion

Chapter 101: Are all old opponents

Fans in the stands couldn't laugh or cry. A few seconds ago, many of them were skeptical of Shevchenko's appearance. They even hoped that substitute Phillips would play and perform a magical goal performance, but Shevchenko played less than one. The stalemate was broken in minutes, and the fans just shoved their arms and yelled, but saw Shevchenko hit the goal post and fell on the grass, and then was stretched down by the stretcher.

What happened to Millwall?

There seems to be a layer of first show spells on their players.

The scene where Vieira took the red card as soon as she debuted last season is still vivid. This season's new striker has been injured and left the field for a minute.

Of course, this is just a sudden incident that deepens the impression. The summer's signing of the center defender Elgra in the season's first show is doing well.

Anyway, this guy has at least a more amazing show.

Fans applauded and prayed for him, I hope his injury will not be too serious.

Millwall succeeded in breaking the ice. Aldridge immediately replaced Shevchenko, who was injured and left, with Vieira. There are more than 20 minutes left in the game. Nottingham Forest is now behind and will naturally attack.

Clark was very reluctant. He lost a general in the summer. Collymore was taken away by Liverpool, which caused great trouble to his platoon formation. In fact, he felt that he could take away a point at the Lion’s Cave Stadium. An acceptable result.

Now that the team is behind, he doesn’t dare to let the team make a big push. Liverpool’s creativity in the midfield is obvious to all, but the defensive strength is not particularly strong. After pressing up, Millwall reached the back line and reached the sieve. Going up, there is no guarantee that the ball will not continue to drop.

But it's true that it's a fight.

Nottingham Forest began to invest troops in the frontcourt, they also played ground pass and cut cooperation, so Aldridge will send Vieira to strengthen the midfield and vertical interception.

The game became stalemate, the two teams competed for you in the midfield, and no one organized an effective offensive. Until the last five minutes of the game, Clark will make a final stroke. He waved his hand and let the players in the midfield and backcourt also start. Pressing forward, it is a success or failure to throw out.

Aldridge saw the situation change on the sidelines and was not surprised.

Millwall’s football style needs space to play. The whole team is like a spring. The more pressure the opponent gives, they can shrink back. Once the ball is transferred to Millwall, the power of the spring will also explode. Even bigger.

This is also the game rhythm of many strong teams in the future. The weakest opponent will always be the first ball. Once the first goal appears, the weak team can’t keep it down and the strong team will score. One after another, but if the strong team is attacked first, then the defense of the weak team will be more firm, and the game will be unpredictable.

Nottingham Forest's one offensive was destroyed by Stam on the restricted area line and launched a counterattack on the spot.

From the second half, Nedvide in the front waist position, Pires and Schneider on both sides, plus the forward arrow Larson, the four began to run forward in a layered manner. After Vieira took the ball and Thuram made a two-by-one quick forward and rolled the ball diagonally near the middle circle. The ball passed accurately to Pire.

Pires didn't stop the ball, but crossed the middle of the ball. Nedved was in front of the back line of Nottingham Forest's hurried retreat. Looking up, it was all loopholes. He calmly put the ball into the penalty area, Lar Mori succeeded in offside and went to the meeting with a single pole. The goalkeeper attacked. Larson dexterously swayed the angled arch forward and rolled the ball against the turf into the gate.

"Larsen scored his seventh league goal of the season. The shooter showed the qualities of a top scorer. His calmness in handling the ball is amazing, the perfect killer! Nottingham Forest has no hope, the game Immediately into injury time, they fell behind by two goals and Aldridge's team has unshakable dominance at home!"

After scoring, Larsson turned around and hugged his teammates, and Audridge convinced him to stay. Part of the factor was the reliance and cultivation of Audridge on him. The other part was that he played in Millwall as above. Yun Xiao is very happy. Behind these teammates, Schneider, Nedved, Pire, and Trezeguet, who plays with his striker, Larson feels that with these teammates, not only can his shooter's power be fully exerted, Moreover, as a team, they play football very easily. People don't need too much verbal communication. The tacit understanding on the court is simply heart-warming.

Clark's determination and courage to fight back against the water disappeared without a trace after this goal. He waited for the game to end. There is nothing to say. The game lost no complaints.

The stoppage time was quickly exhausted and the game ended. The fans at Lion’s Cave Stadium were used to standing up and applauding the team after the game.

Last season, Millwall played 23 home games in the Premier League with 20 wins and 3 draws. This horrible momentum allowed fans to enjoy the home game as much as possible, so they developed a habit of accepting players' thanks and cheering. Give applause to the team.

Last season, the best coach of the Premier League and the best coach of the Premier League, Aldridge and Clark, the two came together to shake hands after the game, a few words of greeting.

Clark consulted the transfer possibilities of several young men in the Millwall formation. The main player Millwall would definitely not sell. Even if they did, Nottingham Forest would not be able to afford the big price.

Clark asked about Vieira and Phillips on the bench.

Aldridge smiled and regretted that all Millwall players were not for sale.

There is no strong team that does not need a substitute. To become a strong team, the thickness of the bench is one of the key factors. Sometimes fans marvel at the luxury bench bench lineup of the top team, which explains the top team from the side. Why is it possible to be successful again and again.

Walking back to the locker room, Aldridge praised the boys for their performance today. Then he went to the medical department and asked Shevchenko about it.

Although the Ukrainian nuclear warhead looked scary, it was actually just a trauma. Before he was sent to the examination, he was conscious. Although the examination results have not come out, the doctors of the medical department said that there should be no harm. The head is sewn. Needle, rest for ten days and a half months to recover.

Aldridge was finally happy now.

He returned to the office, took out a poster with the trophy printed on it, and then walked into the dressing room, and posted the poster on the wall of the dressing room.

After washing, the players who changed clothes naturally found the posters on the wall, and everyone smiled.

The trophy above is the trophy of the English League Cup.

Next, they are going to play in the League Cup.

Fortunately, playing the Wolves at home, is also an old opponent, met last year in the Premier League.

Returning home from get off work, when Aldridge walked out of the club, someone stopped him behind him.

"Hey, boss."

Aldridge looked back and was the club CEO Adam.

"Problems?"

"During the game, Andrew came over and he told me to tell you that Mr. Puskas' transfer procedure was done and he will be transferred from Budapest to London next Tuesday."

Andrew used to hang his job at Millwall, and he had long known that Adam had a silent phone during the game, and he did not take it out. So Andrew had to let Adam be a microphone.

"Oh, I see."

"Boss, forgive me, is that really Puskas? I mean, that Puskas!"

Aldridge probably guessed what the other party was going to say, frowning: "Adam, that is Puskas."

Adam looked happy and whispered: "Boss, if we can openly have a relationship with Mr. Puskas, take a few photos as..."

"Stop! Adam, do you have someone who is respectful?"

Adam froze, and then replied: "Yes, Professor Smith of the Business School is my most respected person, and I will never forget his teachings."

"Okay, imagine that Professor Smith is seriously ill and whether you will use him to make money. If your answer is: Yes, then please put the resignation letter on my desk. Goodbye."

Aldrich turned away, Adam raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, then smiled self-deprecatingly.

Four days later, Millwall played against the Wolves at home. Aldridge sent all the main forces he could send. The Wolves obviously still have to work hard to upgrade the Premier League, so they don’t value the cup. Millwall easily won at home. The Wolves advanced to the next round.

Before FIFA match day came, the sixth round of the Premier League started, Millwall continued to sit at home and ushered in a familiar opponent: Middlesbrough.

Brian Robson led Middlesbrough this season, the team's style of play is very pragmatic, as a guest draw to Arsenal, Bolton, home victory over Chelsea and Coventry, only to lose to the new season of Newcastle United.

The same as the newly promoted, but the strength is not what it used to be.

Brian Robson’s platoon formation is more conservative and thorough than Nottingham Forest. Last season, their formation looked like 532. This guest faced Millwall and directly placed a 541 formation, except leaving a forward in front. In addition to the harassment, all other players returned to the defense area and built two dense defense lines.

The Lions made a 27-foot shot in the ninety minutes of the game, but the goal was only six feet. Middlesbrough did not hit a shot. The ball control rate was less than 30%. The final two teams 0:0 handshake and peace.

After the game, Aldridge faced Robson and could only shake hands with each other with a wry smile.

He has no resentment in his heart, and the opponent does not use means beyond the rules. This is the case with football. If you are strong, you will definitely win, especially when the opponent does not want to win or lose.

FIFA International Competition Day is coming, Aldridge is facing a team that lacks a lot of main forces. He still trains on weekdays, and occasionally plays two teaching games with the youth team. On the day of International Competition Day, he gave the team a holiday, he then Stay at home and watch Hungary's away game against Turkey.

There was no suspense in the game. Turkey defeated Hungary 2-0 and completely broke Hungary's hopes of qualifying for the European Cup.
