The stands of the Spurs fans at White Hart Lane were silent.
That kind of stormy offensive should have been the football we played!
When will it become the football that the gangsters of Millwall can play?
After Nedved's goal, Brady was so excited in the stands that Brady took off his jersey, and it was just the beginning of February, and he was not afraid of the cold, waving his jersey and chanting Nedved's name with the Roar fans.
"The Mad Lion God of War, Pavel Nedved! The Lion God of War, Pavel Nedved! ”
The visiting fans chanted in unison.
A season and a half of performances has allowed Nedved to conquer all Millwall fans, and even many neutral fans idolize him.
Because he is the most in line with the image of a player in the hearts of England fans.
Millwall's fan base has started to surge this season, not only because of the team's pleasing style of play, but also because of their lightning-fast movement and fluid footwork, which has made their games more and more interesting, and of course due to the fact that Millwall games are often broadcast live on Premier League matchdays, and many of the team's stars have become the target of neutral fans.
Larsson, Nedved, Schneider, Pire, Trezeguet, these five main players in the attack continued to shine brightly, and their fame quickly increased.
The only regret is that the 22-year-old Schneider performed so well, but the German national team has not called him for a move, which also makes Aldridge occasionally express regret to the German Football Association before the FIFA match day, however, the German national team now has an unreliable phenomenon, that is, in terms of seniority, even if the young players who perform well, it is difficult to be recruited into the national team under a certain age.
Tottenham boss Francis, who has a headache, sees where the sticking point lies.
Tottenham's main focus in defence was on Nedved, which weakened their wide support and gave the humble Italian little guy space to take his stride.
Before kick-off, Francis told his disciples to limit Pirlo's play.
In the last seven minutes of the first half, Tottenham compressed the midfield, focusing on limiting Pirlo's space, causing the seventeen-year-old Pirlo to make three mistakes, but fortunately with Makelele behind him, it did not lead to the goal being conceded.
At the end of the first half, Millwall walked into the dressing room with a one-goal lead.
Aldridge deliberately chatted with Pirlo in the dressing room, so that he had a psychological adaptation process, he played too easily at the beginning of the first half, no one marked him, and the organization of the attack after taking the ball was like practice, but when Tottenham began to pay attention to him, he did not keep up with the rhythm mentally, and he was suddenly stunned, and he was a little flustered in handling the ball.
He is still young, Aldrich does not expect him to become a master in his debut, take your time, at this stage, the state of mind is far more important than the technique.
Many talented players are devastated by high-intensity games, and a big problem is psychological factors, and it has nothing to do with their own technical ability.
At the start of the second half, Tottenham thought they had found a way to restrain Millwall's attack, and pressed Pirlo with high pressure.
Pirlo, the sleeping rabbit, woke up and played cat and mouse with the Tottenham players, he was a mouse, running back and forth in the midfield, not sticking to the ball after receiving the ball, and directly kicking the ball, and the ball went in more directions.
Claude Makelele stepped in and Tottenham reduced the defensive pressure on Nedved, and Nedved had more room to maneuver.
Pirlo kicked the ball straight in front of Nedved, who strode forward with the ball and Millwall's attacking four-man attacking group was like a sophisticated machine, starting to move reasonably fast.
The midfield defense pounced too hard in order to limit Pirlo, only to be penetrated by Pirlo's through pass, and Francis was so angry that he jumped to his feet when he saw this scene.
Nedved feinted to shoot and then crossed straight to the ribs of the penalty area, and this kind of direct pass diagonal combination was able to be played with their eyes closed in training.
In the past year and a half, Pire has been trained by Aldridge to play concisely and reasonably, and has a habit of crazy inward cutting.
He wasn't particularly fast, but he just hit the opposition in the air, and before the defender could turn, he was already running into place and shooting at a tight angle.
The ball slid through an arc and flew out of the bottom line, and Walker couldn't touch the ball even if he was so good that it went in front of the far post and hit the net on the far side of the goal.
'It's wonderful, Pire's shot is definitely in contention for the best goal in the Premier League, and it could be against Nedved's long-range shot. Andy, Millwall's tactics seem to have changed again today, have you noticed that seventeen-year-old Italian lad? ”
'I've been following him for an hour now, he seems to be an invisible man, but if Millwall didn't have him in midfield, you wouldn't have seen so many pleasing attacking combinations from Millwall later, he didn't give direct assists, he didn't insert attacking points, but he had one of the most intuitive effects, which was to free up Nedved. Nedved doesn't have to start organizing the attack from the midfield and then run all the way up to participate in the attack, now Nedved's position is closer to the penalty area, his threat has improved significantly, the assist just now broke through the Tottenham backline, the most important reason is that the Tottenham backline is not ready, before the blink, the ball is at the back, after the blink, the ball is at the feet of Nedved, before he comes to his senses, the ball is passed by Nedved behind him, and Pire shoots and scores. ”
"Every football coach understands that football is faster than people, and Millwall seemed to be subverting that theory before, their fast attacks and counter-attacks were racing against time, and now, they have returned to this theory, Nedved doesn't have to run from the back to the front to dispatch the attack, he is directly in the danger zone before the last strike, which makes Millwall's attack more fluid and fast."
Millwall lead by two goals, while Piret also increased his Premier League goal account to eight.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face, while Francis looked gloomy.
His adjustment has the meaning of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and after weakening the defense against Nedved, Pirlo is indeed not so easy, but Nedved's threat in the midfield is completely unleashed, and the consequences are equally disastrous.
Damn, what the hell?!
In this era, it is not that there is no tactic of attacking players to defend in a large area, and the concept of all-attack and all-defense is such a foundation.
But in English football, the massive retreat of wing-backs and forwards has not yet become mainstream.
Francis could only stand on the sidelines and shout for the players to take the initiative to return to the defense, even if it was Sheringham, at least to participate in the defense against Pirlo near the center circle.
In this way, Tottenham's formation has shrunk across the board.
For a long time to come, the performer on the field became Makelele.
Whenever Tottenham Hotspur attacked, if they wanted to penetrate in the midfield, they would be accurately predicted by Makelele to form an interception at the first time.
This left Martin Taylor amazed in the commentary.
"Claude Makelele is a key player with the ability to reshape the game!"
In defense, Makelele's role is to protect space, in attack, Makelele is to protect the ball, if you only look at the success rate regardless of the number of passes, Makelele in the past year and a half, the pass success rate is the highest in the team, more than 84%, because his interception after the ball is to ensure that the ball is not lost, which is between an attack and a defense, so that Millwall's entire tactical system is very stable.
Tottenham's overall formation was compressed a little flat, and in the last ten minutes of the game, Francis waved his big hand, allowing the players to release their speed, the attacking tempo was quickened, and the attacking methods were rougher, and the central defenders went up to press the midfield, anyway, the opponent only had a single arrow in the penalty area.
A few waves of long passes came to an end, and Millwall's quick counter-attack also died in midfield.
With three minutes to go, Millwall counter-attacked again and the Spurs had not yet run back, but the midfield had already formed a defence for Nedved, with the full-backs also keeping Pire and Schneider on the line.
Pirlo took the ball, looked up, and then lowered his head to deliver a brilliant long pass.
The ball leaped lightly over the midfield and towards Tottenham's penalty line.
Cowdelwood turned to chase after him, but Larsson, who was a step ahead of him, had already sprinted diagonally.
Larsson was surprised by Pirlo, who had just started a diagonal counter-offside when Pirlo's diagonal long pass arrived as expected.
A second slower, Larsson was offside.
In a second, Larsson probably didn't wait for the ball to fall but chased it.
On the penalty line, Larsson met the ball with a standard chest stop, Coulderwood rushed diagonally in front of him and a sharp brake was thrown off by Larsson, changed direction and dribbled straight into the penalty area, Larsson faced the attacking goalkeeper Walker, Larsson, who had wasted at least two must-score opportunities, did not miss another opportunity, calmly pushed the far corner of the goal, and then turned around and ran to the back.
White Hart Lane was deadly silent.
The Roar fans were so excited that they almost jumped into the arena.
The Lions have scored three goals!
Tottenham, kneel down and raise chrysanthemums for the gentlemen!
Now Millwall's fans have a high vision, in addition to the Hammers and Chelsea, Charlton and Crystal Palace are not worth mentioning, the crazy Wimbledon is even more yellow yesterday, Queens Park Rangers are estimated to be invisible next season, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are high in north London, we are also neighbors, and our game is also a city derby.
Great, let's stomp you over!
Larsson ran to Andrea Pirlo after scoring and pointed at him with a smile on his face.
Andrea Pirlo was more excited, with an assist on his debut today, which boosted his confidence.
Aldridge applauded from the sidelines and used two substitutions before the end of the game to drain the last time.
After the game, he shook hands with Francis amicably, and the two chatted a few words when they met in the first half of the season, but today Francis looked ugly, and the two shook hands without saying a word and left.
Millwall's three-goal attack on White Hart Lane!
