971 Sinking-Fall and Declaring War
Thanks to the tips of "Thief Death", "Qingqing Little Wolf", "Who Hasn't Tried the Second Time" and "BIGJOY"! ――
Leeds United, the young guards who bloomed magnificently three years ago, are struggling on the death line three years later.
At Elland Road, more than 90 per cent of the stands today were Leeds United fans, and the stadium was packed.
Leeds United can't say much confidence from top to bottom, at least, the light of miracles has already appeared.
Didn't Manchester City already lose a game?
Millwall didn't field their strongest squad today either.
Ronaldo was hidden, Nedved was rested today after consecutive games, Larsson was on the bench at the beginning of his recovery from a minor injury, and even Schneider's position was replaced by Ramos, a teenager who had just turned 18.
How do you look at it, the combat power of the Wild Lion should be weakened by at least 40% today.
"In the penultimate round of the Premier League this season, Leeds United in the relegation zone sat at home to Elland Road to welcome Millwall, who are second in the league, and today's game is very crucial for both teams, if Leeds United cannot win against Millwall, they will be relegated! If Arsenal win this round and Millwall loses, the Premier League champions will be born one round earlier! It can be said that this is a game that both teams cannot afford to lose. ”
Aldridge's line-up today was very targeted.
The tridents are Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Arjen Robben.
In midfield are De Rossi, Alonso, Ramour.
Without a midfielder, Ramour plays central midfield, linked to a double midfield in a small area.
Leeds United want to win. It is inevitable that the midfield line will be pushed forward to play attack. Millwall only need to form a strong sniper in midfield. Then the attacking space up front will naturally emerge, with two modern wingers cutting inside frantically with their backfoot and Thierry Henry in the middle as the biggest point of attraction for firepower, and there will be no shortage of opportunities.
At the end of the season, the fighting spirit is high, and the game is very targeted.
If he encounters a Leeds United that needs 1 point to be relegated, Aldridge will definitely not care too much and will definitely send the strongest team to play.
But a Leeds United team that must force three points. Aldridge doesn't have to put on the strongest lineup, for fear of scaring the other party, and give the other party some hope, which is a strategic temptation.
Leeds United, who had a bad season-long schedule, were just a lot more brave in this game, and the core of their competitive strength, the team, they did not show the strength to panic Millwall.
In the 11th minute, Leeds United pushed down the flank and was cut off by Ashley Cole, who crossed diagonally into the middle circle. Ramour got the ball and dodged his attackers, then crossed diagonally to the left wing to hand the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo touched the ball and accelerated directly. He has space to start, there is also room to accelerate, there is only a complete line of defenders in front of the opponent, Henry attracted two central defenders in the middle, Ronaldo cut the ball, fullback Hart failed to complete the interception in the middle of the defense, Ronaldo made a one-two with Henry in front of the big penalty area line, and then formed a single knife after entering the penalty area, he shot Robinson's ten fingers!
Elland Road Stadium, there is a bang!
The cheering in the stadium stopped abruptly, and the silence was as dead as ice.
"Cristiano Ronaldo scored his tenth goal in the league! This young man who has played about the same number of games as last season has significantly improved his goalscoring ability compared to last season, and the number of goals has almost doubled! All competitions combined, he has contributed 18 goals to the team this season! And 13 assists! Although Millwall's fans lament that the years are urging people to grow old, Larsson's goal rate has declined significantly this season, and his style of play is also changing, he locked the league assist king many rounds in advance, but it is undeniable that Millwall needs to have a stable scoring point on the front line in the future, and cannot hand over all the burden to Henry, the rise of Ronaldo has made all Lions fans see hope, and when Larsson burns energy in the latter part of his career and shines for the last time, Ronaldo will become the next Lions' goal machine! ”
In the closing stretch of the league, Millwall's celebrations were wild for every goal they scored in the league!
The young Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the sidelines with a hideous face and roared.
Everyone knows that Millwall's goal is indeed destroying the opponent, but the target they are aiming at is the north London rival: Arsenal!
Every goal, every victory, is putting pressure on Arsenal, who are still unbeaten in the league!
The Elland Road stadium was silent for a long time, and the fans in the stands did not burst into boos, and the cheers before the game could no longer be strengthened.
What the White Rose fans are worried about, the reality of unwillingness to admit and avoid with a fluke mentality, is being played out in front of our eyes!
Make their hearts beat, make them nervous, open their mouths to shout cheering words, but it seems to turn into a weak whimper.
The strength of the body seems to be drained, and the love is tired, tired, and hateful and numb, and at a loss.
Some Real Madrid fans sighed and sighed when Morientes transferred and left, but the star-studded Galaxy Battleship had a miserable record: This may be fate!
Real Madrid are paying the price for their team-building model that goes against the laws of football.
And Leeds United fans looked at Millwall at this time and did not celebrate them, and saw the young coach of England, who was loved by the majority of the people, standing on the side with an indifferent expression, and most of them also had the same exclamation: One qiē, it's all fate!
Once upon a time, Ritzdale vowed to make Leeds the next Millwall.
O'Reilly is going to be the next Aldrich.
But now, the cycle of reincarnation, the rise of Leeds United, the peak of Leeds United, and the fall of Leeds United, can not escape the shadow of the Wild Lion and Aldrich, how long will this nightmare last? I don't know
Not long after the game began, the Leeds United players were parched on the pitch, and there was a magic that made them feel heavy and distracted, making them prefer to go down and finish the game.
Leeds United are not strong, if they were strong, they would not have fallen into this field, but any team with some strength can play a few good battles immediately if they are united internally when the crisis comes.
And Leeds United. It's like a weak promotion horse. Who would have imagined Leeds United conceding more than two goals per game this season? The total number of goals conceded has exceeded 75!
The number of goals is less than 40!
The shocking number of leagues is enough to illustrate the team's one.
In other words. As far as Leeds United this season's table xiàn.
You don't downgrade!
Heaven is intolerable!
The fighting spirit of the whole team that was condensed before the game to perform a miracle took a turn immediately after the blow of conceding the goal, just like the rate at which Leeds United fell from the peak to the trough in three years, collapsed!
The white knights fought hard and worked their own, but they fought for themselves, fell and got up. What about sprinting at full speed?
People can't run the ball, and one person controls the ball, which can never be compared to a team controlling the ball!
Millwall was like a ruthless god, allowing Leeds United to resist powerlessly, and when Leeds United lost their strength after a wave of impact, Millwall counterattacked in midfield or advanced from the back to front, like a peerless blade tearing apart and dismembering the White Rose Army layer by layer. Smash!
In the 28th minute, the teenager Ramos boldly assisted. After an assist from the middle of the box, Ramour sent a through ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Portuguese kid didn't waste the golden opportunity, shooting from almost the same place as the first goal, and once again penetrated Robinson's goal.
Ten minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo was closely marked by Leeds United, and the focus of the opposition defence shifted, and Henry was released, and the ball in front of the penalty area accelerated to the opposition defender and slotted home with a delicate push to increase his league goal tally to 32.
As the European major leagues come to an end, Henry's goals this season have made him once again the biggest favorite for the European Golden Boot, and there is no suspense about the Premier League Golden Boot, Henry has thrown off Ibrahimovic, who is now second in the scorer list, by 10 goals!
At the end of the first half, the big picture was decided.
At other times, Leeds United home fans will inevitably leave the stadium.
However, no one wants to leave today, even if the result is already doomed, there is still no one who leaves the field early, as if the body has no strength at all, sitting in the stands of the stadium, no longer praying for anything, just going with the flow to witness the occurrence of this qiē and the arrival of the end.
At Millwall's half-time, Aldridge allowed his team to stay in the second half, even if it was ugly.
There was an air of sadness in the Elland Road stadium.
Millwall didn't put more pressure on them, and most of the time they only went it alone and threatened with speed.
Even so, Leeds United, who were discouraged, still couldn't resist Millwall.
Robben's problems have been with him throughout the season.
Alone, too alone, so unique that it makes teammates angry and the coach is a little broken!
He is not like Ronaldo, Ronaldo has been training at Millwall before entering the first team, no matter how he plays football, or habits, even if he occasionally wants to be in the limelight and sticky to the ball too much, he will also take care of his teammates on different occasions, and moreover, he entered the first team, among the offensive players in the frontcourt, there are a few Mr. Golden Balls, his little brother, how can he not know the sky?
However, Robben has been in the team for a short time, and his playing habits are difficult to change.
If it weren't for Leeds United's scattered set today, Robben repeatedly hit five strong waves, Aldridge would have replaced him long ago.
There is no denying Robben's talent and strength, no, the second half finally paid off, in the 71st minute, he cut inside on the right side, and made a long-range shot with his left foot, the ball spun inside and went straight to the far corner of the goal, expanding the score to 4:0.
It's just that after he scored, Peter Pan ran to the sidelines to celebrate with a loud expression, Aldridge frowned, and asked the players on the field to drag him back, which caused Robben to be a little dissatisfied, as if he had worked hard to score a goal, and the manager didn't let him celebrate!
What is the rationale for this?
It doesn't make sense.
The big picture has been decided, the icing on the cake, and it's away again, what is there to celebrate?
Besides, it's time to look at the atmosphere in the stadium.
Millwall and Leeds United have a grudge, but after all, they are not mortal enemies, most of the people who used to fight each other have left, and they are now in dire straits, so why bother to sprinkle salt on each other's wounds? This falls in the eyes of the outside world, and it is not good for Millwall's image.
Aldridge made a series of substitutions, and before the end, Ramour also scored a goal, which ended 5-0.
"It's game over! Millwall defeated Leeds United 5-0 away without the will to resist, and after 14 years, Leeds United were relegated from the English top flight! ”
This game is a microcosm of Leeds United's full-season schedule, fighting spirit, unity, and will are just illusory disguises, and they are really full of chaos and struggle in the competition!
The results are revealed.
Yorkshire's white roses are completely withered!
Fourteen years ago, Leeds United were promoted from League Two to the then top-flight League One.
Thirteen years ago, Leeds United returned to the top flight in their debut season and finished fourth in the league!
Twelve years ago, Leeds United returned to the top flight the year after they won the League One title!
It was a time when Alex Ferguson had been at Manchester United for six years without winning the league title, and it was an era when Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton were alternately kings.
In the summer of '92, the watershed of the era of English football was changed, and the Premier League was born!
Leeds United, the king of the League One era, has withdrawn from the top flight after 12 years of reincarnation in the Premier League era!
In the stands of Elland Road Stadium, countless fans burst into tears, and countless fans stared sadly at their home stadium, and soon, this stadium will be sold at a cheap price
Bitter singing sounded, and tens of thousands of Elland Road fans bid farewell to Leeds United leaving the Premier League.
No matter how bad the Leeds United season schedule is, there is no doubt about the players' affection for the place, with the slumped players holding their heads and hiding their faces, the fiery tough guy Smith spilling tears on the field, the shirtless Leeds United fans in the stands, and a young boy under the age of 10 crying and singing
The live broadcast was finally frozen in a corner of the stands, and three or five fans pulled out a two-meter-long banner that read: We shouldn't be this end!
I don't know, this we, refers to Leeds United club, or Leeds United die-hard fans, Aldridge prefers to understand as fans when he sees there, their crazy support, indeed, it shouldn't be this end, falling into the abyss with Leeds United
Elland Road is putting on a spectacular spectacle of tens of thousands of home fans seeing Leeds United.
Millwall didn't celebrate, Aldridge walked to the tunnel and, at this moment, it seems, Millwall's victory in this game also seemed insignificant.
However, Aldrich still had to do his job perfectly.
Before entering the players' tunnel, Aldridge stopped in front of the sideline camera, there are many cameras in the stadium, and it may not be the first time to broadcast it, but when the live broadcaster finishes the picture after the game, it will definitely be taken as news, like a bomb sent by Aldridge, from Fleet Street, to Highbury in North London.
Aldrich reached out and tapped on the lens of the camera, and whispered to the camera with a cold expression: "Arsenal, Millwall is here!" ”
His move was seen by the players who followed him, and Xiao Luo, who was sitting on the bench in the 90th minute, immediately followed with a stern expression, imitating Aldridge's behavior, reaching out and tapping on the camera lens, and said coldly: "Arsenal, Millwall is here!" ”
Millwall's players, both on the bench and from the last game, then made the move before they walked into the tunnel.
The third generation of the Wild Lions officially declared their war against the strongest opponent in the Premier League this season! (To be continued......)
