The Young Lion

Although Nedved repeatedly explained to the referee Boll what happened in the penalty area, Boll shook his head and ignored it. It is not without precedent for the referee to change the judgment, but it is definitely cautious, because it is a kind of self-professional Denial of ability, overturning own judgment? Incidental will make the authority decline.

Perhaps it was just because the British were conservative and stubborn in their bones, Ball finally signaled that Millwall must take a penalty kick.

The Arsenal players were furious, but they had nowhere to argue. They didn't hate Millwall, the derby opponent, but resented the referee.

Reluctantly, except for Seaman to keep the goal in the penalty area, everyone else went out, and the Millwall players still turned their heads to look at Aldridge on the sidelines.

What about this penalty?

The team's first penalty shooter was Larson, but Aldridge pointed to Nedved on the sidelines, and the penalty was handed over to him.

Larson didn't have any complaints, and the Millwall players didn't even stand on the penalty area line to make a follow-up shot, everyone stood far behind.

Ball blew the whistle, Nedved walked slowly to the penalty spot, touched the ball lightly with his toes, then turned his head and ran back.

Seaman stepped forward to hug the ball, was also impressed by Nedved's move, and took the initiative to applaud him.

There was warm applause again at the scene.

When Nedved ran back, Adams passed by and said sincerely to him: Sorry.

He scolded a lot of dirty words just now, but Nedved turned a deaf ear to it.

Looking back at Adams, Nedved continued to run back without paying attention.

Andy, this will not be a great moment on the green field, but it will definitely be a textbook classic scene. Nedved told the world with practical actions that on the football field, you should beat your opponent openly. Vorrell If he can see this scene, he should be ashamed of himself, even though he sent Germany to the top of the world, but except for the German fans, no one will worship his diving in the 1990 World Cup final.

All the fans are applauding Nedved's behavior. This is something we should encourage. Not every player who falls in the penalty area is violated or faked, and the referee sometimes makes unfair penalties. It is a part of football, but I am very happy to see that there are players who can take the initiative to stand up for the fairness of the game. There are too many negative examples of unscrupulous football, but Nedved has set an example of fair play, and Mir Wall's coach Aldridge Hall, the replay of the camera tells us that he agrees with Nedved's behavior very much, I think tomorrow, there will be more neutral fans who like Aldridge.

English fans who have experienced the injury of Maradona's hand of God hate the deception on the court the most. Even Owen's flopping on the field on behalf of the national team is not understood in China. It is more ridiculed and ridiculed. In the World Cup final, the football emperor Franz Beckenbauer led the powerful German team and the defending champion Argentina, who entered the final with a lot of holes and upsets, met in the final. The German team had the advantage but could not score. The German Vöhler cheated back a penalty kick with a flop before the end of the game. With this penalty, the German team once again stood on top of the world, but Vöhler's behavior was strongly condemned after the game.

The first half ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the locker room.

Aldridge waited in the locker room for the players to sit on the benches, then gave them two minutes to clean off their sneakers and jerseys or drink water to calm down.

Pavel, you did the right thing.

Aldrich said calmly to Nedved,

Nedved looked up at Aldrich, nodded and said nothing.

Looking at other players, Aldridge said indifferently: I am a coach who is eager to win, and you are also players who are eager to win, but we cannot be polluted by utilitarian desires. We can be inferior to our opponents in talent, then we will use hard work and Sweat to make up for it, we may not be as strong as our opponents, then we will use fighting spirit and unity to improve our strength, but we will never tarnish the word victory, and don't belittle the meaning of victory with sneaky tricks, maybe that will make us win In the next important game, we will win an important championship, but invisibly, we will lose more, and once some mistakes are made, there is no chance to correct them.

Many players listened very seriously and nodded solemnly.

After a while of silence, Aldrich walked to the tactical board and began to arrange tactical tasks for the second half. There was no major change, just a change in rhythm and a slightly more detailed tactical intention.

Before the start of the second half, Aldridge observed the expressions of the Arsenal players on the sidelines. He saw that Arsenal's fighting spirit had recovered a lot, and there was a desire to win in their eyes.

Rioch is not an incompetent coach. At least Arsenal, who were a little discouraged in the first half, regained their momentum after the intermission.

That's good.

The atmosphere in the stands was still hot. Amidst the sound of cheering and cheering, the second half of the game began.

Arsenal unified their thinking, Rioch made some adjustments to the defense, strengthened the defense, and let Adams play a trailing central defender among the three central defenders, which has a bit of the shadow of the first generation of chain defense in the era of the big international, but this Temporary change, I don't know if it will have a miraculous effect.

Winterburn and Dixon firmly stepped forward to assist, and Bergkamp retreated to play the shadow striker to share the organizational tasks. Arsenal's formation has become very strange. After all, it is adjusted on the basis of 532, and the strange formation is inevitable. up.

Arsenal played a wave of offensive. After Bergkamp retreated and cooperated with Pratt who plugged in, he passed the ball to Wright. Wright kicked on the spot outside the penalty area and shot without an angle. Keller easily received the ball in his arms.

Aldridge raised his chin slightly and waved his big hand towards Arsenal's half. Millwall started a quick counterattack that he is good at!

The counterattack started with the kick-off from the goalkeeper. Keller threw the ball to the foot of Thuram on the wing. Thuram began to take the ball forward. Arsenal did not expect Thuram to step forward to participate in the attack. They were a little flustered, and what caught them off guard was that, except for the two central defenders and midfielder Makelele, all other Millwall players were running forward, like a blue whirlwind, ready to overwhelm the city.

Thuram made a direct pass to Schneider, Schneider knocked Nedved horizontally, two to one, Schneider slipped to the bottom, and then passed the ball back to the middle. Trezeguet was at the top of the attack , he went deep into the penalty area, Larson was behind, pressing the penalty area line, Schneider's return pass rolled in front of him, and he shot towards the ball, Arsenal's defense kept retreating, the ball passed Very quickly, Boulder stopped suddenly and stepped forward to block Larson's shot. It was obviously slow, and the ball passed by his shoulder, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of breaking through the air.

Seaman flew to the upper left corner of the goal, but when he reached the position, the ball had already entered the dead corner.

Millwall leads 2:0!

Larson! Larson in hot form! He sent the ball into the dead corner of the goal with a strong shot from the penalty area line. Millwall's counterattack from the goalkeeper this time is amazingly fast! In League One, Their counterattacks have repeatedly sieved the opponent's defense. Look at the slow-motion playback, from Keller throwing the ball to Thuram to the final goal. Millwall's quick counterattack took 13 seconds! They How fast?!

Seeing this goal, Aldridge closed his eyes and raised his mouth, clenched his fist with one hand and waved it slightly in front of him.

Arsenal will definitely step up their offensive in the second half. What Millwall has to do is not to retreat more conservatively, but to set off a blitz!

As long as Arsenal attack, the deep space behind them is the stage for Millwall's counterattack. If their fists can't hit Millwall, then Millwall's quick counterattack will sound the death knell for the Gunners!

Larsson, who scored twice, ran along the sidelines, putting one hand to his ear to listen to the screams and cheers of the fans.

Singing sounded from the South Stand.

No one likes us, it doesn't matter, we have Larson!

Rioch looked a little frustrated. The reforming Arsenal met the stable Millwall. Arsenal's spirit that has been worn down in recent years cannot be rebuilt in a while, but Millwall is like a newborn lion. , full of hunger and thirst for victory, to show your sharpness is to taste the enemy's blood!

The fighting spirit mobilized in the midfield disappeared in an instant. The Arsenal players stood on the field with their hips akimbo, looking powerless and confused.

Losing to Millwall's substitute lineup last season, they can comfort themselves that Graham's coaching position is not stable, coupled with the team's record decline, the whole team can't work together, but what about today?

Meeting Millwall's main lineup, the offense was a mess, and the defense that was once proud of was full of loopholes.

Where is the dawn of victory?

After Arsenal kicked off again, Aldridge discovered a phenomenon that made him laugh.

Arsenal were once again playing their usual defense.

They are like ostriches, curled up in a ball, raised their heads to look at the outside world, and found that there was danger, so they retracted their heads again to ensure their safety and not be hurt.

Rioch walked back to the coach's bench and sat down. There were still forty minutes in the game, but he didn't expect to be able to come back.

After all, it is a derby, and you can't lose too much, although Millwall is not Arsenal's main derby opponent, Tottenham is.

Arsenal's offensive system can be said to be a new start. It is not that Bergkamp and Pratt will become sharp immediately. The players Rioch can rely on most are on the field. Facing the rising Millwall, Avoiding being hit back is the right choice.

Millwall was not finished. Ten minutes before the end of the game, Trezeguet and Larsson unexpectedly changed positions under the circumstances of Arsenal's active defense. The ball went through the gate guarded by Seaman again.

Larson, who performed a hat-trick, became the best player in the game. Arsenal lost three goals to the Lion's Den Stadium!

PS: Thanks to Master Ma Yu for the reward!
