The East London derby, which has always been hot in England, has changed its flavor today.

The Hammers in the stands helped the fans to be restless, and there was no psychological presence for the Lions fans.

And the Lions fans did not verbally abuse each other in the stands today, on the contrary, they sang and sang in the stands with their shoulders on their backs, singing the ballad of the championship and praising the greatness of Millwall.

In their eyes, on this day, they came to the stadium of their sworn enemies to celebrate Millwall's victory, which is the greatest humiliation to their sworn enemies!

The situation on the field is relatively stale, Lao Lei discharged a 451 formation today, iron-hearted to play defensive counterattack, after the start of the game, their formation gradually retreated, compressed in the second half, and the single striker in the counterattack did not cross the half, shrinking!

Lao Lei's expression was grim, he knew that even if he had the advantage of being at home, he could not attack wildly, otherwise he would be punished, and if he was counter-attacked by Millwall and conceded a goal, then the relegation situation would take a sharp turn.

Millwall's start today made Lao Ray scratch his head and couldn't figure out what the other party was planning.

Toney is a bridgehead in the penalty area, the running range is not large, Vanney also entered the invisible after the opening, the very active Phillips is drowned in the dense defense, Millwall has no winger today, and the middle penetration can not be used to find Toney with a long pass, and Toney's body can really stand in the penalty area, and a few grabbing headers is quite threatening, if it is not for too many defenders around him, he can have more room to play.

What exactly is Millwall doing today?

The style of play is too retro, with long passes and two strikers crowded in the penalty area. There was also Phillips outside the box.

Redknapp was afraid of conceding the ball. The defensive line in the midfield was useless. Millwall sang straight out of the empty city plan.

The three midfielders, Ballack, Gattuso, Lampard, are more tasked with defending, never rushing in, and the style of play has returned from dynamic to static, whenever it turns from defense to attack. They will get up on the spot and hoist the ball to the front court to find their forward teammates.

As a result, the game becomes very boring and boring.

The ball flew in the sky, and West Ham did not dare to commit troops on the counter-attack, perhaps because the pressure of relegation made them nervous, as long as they defended within 40 yards in front of goal, it was bound to be a big foot clearance.

Aldridge shook his head on the sidelines as he saw West Ham United's defensive stance.

How can you suffer from gains and losses in key battles?

If you want to stay in the Premier League, you have to show the momentum you swear to stay!

Thirty minutes into the game, the stands erupted in cheers.

That's the voice of the West Ham United fans.

"Wow. Coventry is 1-0 down at White Hart Lane! Middlesbrough are one goal down at Riverside! Sunderland face Wimbledon down by one goal! Oh my God, most of the relegation teams are behind by the score! Even Everton are behind Chelsea at home. But they don't care, especially in this situation, Everton should be able to declare relegation successful. Oh, and the same goes for Blackburn, who are two goals behind Leicester City at home! ”

Martin Taylor and Andy Cole were shocked that none of the teams could be ahead of their opponents in the relegation showdown predicted by various experts before the game!

These teams are doing yarn!

At this time, it is better to win than whom, not to lose!

Are you scrambling to go to League One and dominate the world?

On the other hand, in this east London derby, even though West Ham United did not attack, they still held on to a draw, and relegation was close to sight.

Redknapp was also reminded by his assistant that the real-time scores of the other games had faded.

In the first half, the two sides exchanged scores.

In the second half, Yibian fought again.

Millwall made no substitutions, but there were tactical changes, with Ballack and Frank Lampard taking turns to step in and shoot from distance, with a couple of long-range shots in the second half that scared the fans in the stands into screaming.

Redknapp made a substitution in the 65th minute of the game, replacing a centre-back and switching to 541 in an attempt to keep the game to the end.

Just as he was making a substitution, Aldridge appeared in the middle line, and Redknapp reminded his disciple of the defensive duties after entering the field, but Aldridge patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, his expression was as frightened as if he had seen a demon.

"If West Ham don't show the determination to break the boat, will the Hammers deserve to stay in the Premier League?"

Aldrich said lightly, then turned and walked back to his place.

Redknapp immediately complained to the fourth officer, babbling on what he was complaining about.

Burn one's ship?

Malegobi, boy, you're agitating, aren't you?

It's really that Millwall stole a ball, and if we lose, it's going to be dangerous.

Now it's a draw and the relegation situation is good for us.

In the second half, Millwall's style of play began to be dynamic, with the frontcourt players running more widely, interspersed with running positions to create attacking threats, which forced West Ham to start fouling tactics.

The hammers in the stands helped the fans feel better and started to fight with the Millwall fans.

Especially after hearing the news that Southampton were also down by one goal away to Aston Villa, they were even more happy.

West Ham United should have no problem staying in the Premier League!

In the 75th minute, Aldridge reached out to Rio Ferdinand and Gattuso, and then to the front, and the two players immediately understood that they would assist.

Coupled with the fact that they have begun to provide frequent assists and have become two full-backs in the position, Millwall are left with Materazzi and the goalkeeper at the back, and the players are concentrated in the front field to bombard West Ham United's goal.

Strange to say, Millwall didn't have a good chance today, but there were not many shots on goal, with almost 20 shots on goal, but only 3 shots in the goal!

Redknapp saw the situation on the field and hesitated whether to take advantage of Millwall's free backfield to let the team's formation press.

At this moment, the scores of other games were passed.

Middlesbrough equalised!

Coventry equalised at White Hart Lane too!

Old Lei Khan is raining down, and his heart is beating like thunder.

I was thinking about the standings.

Nottingham Forest relegated.

Sunderland are behind. 39 points.

Coventry draw. 39 points.

Middlesbrough draw. 40 points.

West Ham United draw, 40 points.

Southampton are behind with 41 points.

There are four teams behind West Ham United!

If West Ham United can win, it will be ironclad, if it loses, it will be hanging, and if it draws, at least the probability of relegation success is very high.

At this moment. Lao Lei still chose to seek stability, let the team build a fence wall steadily, as long as he doesn't lose the ball, God bless, don't give other teams miracles.

As the clock ticked by, the West Ham players were noticeably more nervous and fouls were getting bigger and bigger, giving Millwall more set-piece chances, although they were clearly prepared. He has practiced set-piece defensive tactics and made the human wall impenetrable. Also keep an eye on every Millwall attacking player.

Lao Lei continued to make substitutions, and West Ham United was at their home stadium, and they actually delayed time when making substitutions, and the substituted players walked slowly out of the field, and shook hands with the referee, even if they were warned by a yellow card, it didn't matter, rarely, this behavior was booed by the away fans.

After all the substitutions of Lao Lei are completed, West Ham United will hardly see a pure attacking player on the field, let alone a striker!

When the time came to stoppage time, the fourth official played stoppage time with a sign held up on the sidelines.

5 minutes!

F-uck！

The Hammers are out of the way!

Grass your whole family, stoppage time is so long!

Lao Lei also yelled at the fourth official with an angry face: "There was not a single goal in the second half, and no players were injured, why is the stoppage time so long?" ”

The fourth official replied with a blank face: "The substitutions delay time, and your team's frequent fouls to interrupt the game, this is a reasonable amount of stoppage time." ”

Aldridge stood on the sidelines and didn't care.

One second ago, Upton Park was booed and expressed dissatisfaction with the referee, but the next second, the audience was silent.

"News came from the other field, Coventry reversed Tottenham at White Hart Lane, 2-1, if Coventry can keep the score until full-time, then they will have 41 points! Middlesbrough are in danger and despite their level on points with West Ham United, the goal difference is not dominant, alas, it's only to blame that they were penalised with a 3-point penalty for cancelling the game against Blackburn! ”

The fans looked at each other.

Grass, Tottenham dropped the chain and strained!

Don't even want to face at home!

It was actually reversed by Coventry!

None of the neighbors are good!

Just then, West Ham United were fouled around 35 yards into the box and Millwall were awarded a direct free-kick.

Ninety-three minutes have passed since the end of stoppage time, with only one minute and 40 seconds left to end.

West Ham United started to line up and there were players in front of them to interfere with Millwall's ball and try to delay a little longer.

There was a strange scene on the sidelines.

Aldridge raised his right hand and pointed to the back half, and the action was very clear.

One pointed at Materazzi and then at goalkeeper Bout.

When the two looked at him, Aldridge waved his hand and pointed to the front.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Attack me!

Not to mention that Materazzi and Bout were dumbfounded, the fans couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

Materazzi and Bout started to run forward without saying a word, and sprinted past the center circle!

Millwall was without players at the back and the goal was wide open.

The Hammers helped the fans hold their heads in disbelief.

Dog-Day Millwall, are you mistaken?

It's us who want to be relegated!

Lions fans waved their arms and got their blood boiling.

Hem-West Ham United, see? This is our Wild Lion, fighting you from beginning to end so that you have no power to fight back!

We're just going to trample on you, do you have the courage?

Redknapp's pupils shrank, and he looked at Aldrich incredulously.

Aldrich gestured at him.

The gates of Millwall were empty.

Shoot as long as you get the chance.

Redknapp immediately turned his head and yelled at the players on the field.

"Marking! Marking! ”

The West Ham United players, who had already lined up the wall and kept an eye on the people around them, suddenly found Materazzi and Bout rushing up from the back, and all the way to the penalty area, which made them feel like they were facing a big enemy, and their scalps were numb, and there was a brief panic.

What to do?

Who is going to keep an eye on those two people?

There was chaos inside and outside the box, and the wall of West Ham United was loosened.

Goalkeeper Gloxton also panicked and yelled loudly in front of goal.

"Don't move the human wall! Keep an eye on those two who rushed into the restricted area! ”

In the midst of the panic, Ballack suddenly got up and fired a volley into the corner of the goal.

There is a wall in the near corner of the goal, and the far corner is the goalkeeper's defensive area.

However, Millox was distracted by his team-mates, and there was no rule that the referee would blow the whistle before the free-kick could be taken at this time, and when the wall was lined up, he was ready to make a save, but the rush of Materazzi and Bout disrupted the rhythm of West Ham United, and everyone was distracted.

At this moment, the ball, which was tricky but could have been saved by Milox as long as he fell to the ground in time to save, rolled under his armpit into the goal.

Ballack was in disbelief after the goal.

Upton Park is silent.

Redknapp's eyes widened, his face pale.

Aldridge smiled faintly, turned to pick up his suit from his seat, hooked his collar and walked to the players' tunnel.

The sideline camera captured the scene.

The close-up shows Lao Ray who was hit by a thunderbolt from the sky, the middle shot shows Aldridge leaving the field early with the corners of his mouth raised, and the distant shot shows the fans in the stands at Upton Park with different expressions after a nervous breakdown.

West Ham United's favourite is their great captain Bobby Moore.

And on May 10, 1997, West Ham's most hated man appeared.

From Millwall, their most hated club.

That man will forever remain in the history of this club, and his name is Aldridge Hall. (To be continued......)
