181 Classical to Modern
The taunts of the Millwall fans infuriated Collymore, who was like an irrational beast trying to rush to the stands to fight the fans.
Coach Evans had to rush over and grab him, drag him into the tunnel and warn him to stay calm.
"Stan, if you're a real man, calm down now, get out of the way and hit them back with your performance on the court! Now you rush to the stands and you're only turning yourself into an even bigger joke! β
Players from both teams came on under the referee's lead.
Liverpool's players looked grim.
Just a season and a half ago, the promoted Millwall arrived at Anfield for their first campaign, and from that game onwards, Liverpool lost four games in a row against Millwall, and the FA Cup final six months ago became a stigma on them.
Despite the chaotic off-field private lives of these talented hot guys, there is at least dignity, and they played a good game at home in the first meeting of the season, but from a competitive point of view, they still haven't found the code to limit Millwall's attack.
"The Premier League is meeting you again, the upcoming game is the focus of this round, Millwall is at home against the Reds Liverpool, if you want to keep the suspense of the Premier League title alive, then Liverpool must snipe Millwall here, but their form in these seasons is to compete for the title, the sprint is weak, and the fans have repeatedly seen hope, but they always start to fall behind slowly after the halfway point of the season, and this year is the same, they not only have a 23-point point gap with Millwall. There was even Arsenal in front of them. Newcastle. Manchester United, with Aston Villa and Chelsea in the loop, could not even miss out on Europe next season if they fail to make a difference in the second half of the league. β
"Martin, do you think Liverpool can get out of it all here? Given the record of losing all three league meetings in the past, most Reds fans are pessimistic about this game. β
"Andy, I don't think the game ended before it started, the first time the two teams met this season. It was a brilliant game, and if Liverpool hadn't conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes, they would have at least been able to draw against an invincible Millwall. β
Aldridge sat in the dugout and watched the starting line-ups of both teams, with Millwall's side, Ballack and Zambrotta continuing to start, Shevchenko not being included in the squad because he felt unwell in training, and was replaced by Glen Schal, who played as a left winger and Larsson on the right.
Most of the squad on Liverpool's side is more familiar. Goalkeeper James, defenders: Jones and Scalles are familiar faces. But the other stalwart Phil Babu and left wingback Dominique Mateo are new faces, the former is the main defender of the Irish national team, two years ago in the World Cup upset defeated Italy, good performance, the latter is Liverpool youth products, Evans estimated that he couldn't stand the poor performance of the little fat man Rudok, so he used his own products to play, instead of Ruddock, a defender produced by Millwall.
Today, Liverpool played a five-midfield formation, the two forwards are old faces, McAtier and McManaman, three midfielders, and the second in front of him is the veteran John Barnes and Czech Patrick Borg, the latter is the Czech star who moved to England with Poborski in the summer, and was selected by the giants with his excellent performance in the European Cup, but compared to Poboski's worrying situation at Manchester United, Borg is slightly better.
Single arrow Collymore, Fowler is injured and cannot play.
At the beginning of the game, the players of both sides opened up to attack, the pace was unusually fast, there were no players who stuck the ball too much, and the game was very smooth.
Benitez sat on Aldridge's right, observed and analyzed the game, and then wrote and drew in his notebook, and then explained his views and trends to Aldridge.
'Liverpool were attacking in the middle and creating chances on the wings, with Collymore taking on more of a role today to draw the defensive and the responsibility of playmaking, with Barnes and Borg taking turns to be more threatening.
Aldridge nodded, he could see it, and Jenson, who was to his left, leaned over and said, "Liverpool are going to attack today." We defensively are stronger than them, their midfield defence is the weakness. β
"Not necessarily, they added a special person in the midfield today, when defending, Barnes, Borg, Redknapp Jr. will quickly retreat to form a barrier in front of the penalty area, from the side when the defense is turned to attack, and then the middle is attacked, compared to the meeting three months ago, their offensive and defensive transitions work much more freely."
"But who is particularly strong in defense or full-time defense in the midfield defensive line composed of these three people? No, Barnes is slowly playing from the striker to the midfield, the defensive skills are flawed, Borg is an attacking midfielder, and the defense is not particularly good, Redknapp Jr. is more of a playmaker, maybe all three of them can stand in a defensive position when defending, but their defensive ability is not enough to make the defense stable. β
The two assistant coaches shared their opinions in Aldrich's ear, but Aldridge stood up and walked to the sideline with a frown.
Jenson and Benitez stared at Aldridge in confusion, only to see him standing on the sidelines and roaring at the players.
"Run, give me 300% seriousness! Do you really think of Liverpool as a gift-giving boy? β
The camera caught Aldrich roaring in anger, which made the narrators exclaim.
"What is Hall angry with his team for? It's weird. β
'Obviously, he's not happy with the players, maybe he thinks the team should have scored, hahaha.
As the team's manager, Aldridge knows his players best, just as the players know what his words and actions reveal.
Millwall's players were on the pitch today, and at first glance there were no particularly big ups and downs.
It feels a little tepid.
After two and a half years of working together, Aldridge already knows the players inside out, and you can tell by their runs whether they are serious or not.
Perhaps their record of winning the last four meetings with Liverpool has made them look down on their opponents from the inside.
The hardest player on the pitch was Glen Schal, who rarely got a chance to start in such a high-profile matchup, with Denmark's Golden Wings impressing on the left flank.
Aldrich began to stand on the sidelines to supervise the battle. His face was expressionless, and he looked suppressed in anger.
If the players thought they had set an 18-game winning streak in the past. This season will be a solid win in the league. From then on, the career will embark on the road to glory, and at this stage it will start to slack off, and that kind of thinking is simply naΓ―ve.
You still have more work to do at the top.
Step into greatness, you are not on the road yet!
Southgate blocked Barnes' through ball for Collymore and turned his head to play to Zambrotta on the wing, who in turn played the ball to Glen Charles in front.
The Dane turned sideways to face McAtetier, who was close to him, and his right foot delicately shifted the ball slightly when he touched it. At the same time, he quickly rushed forward from McAtier, who subconsciously reached out to block the ball, but was a step too late and he was cleared by Glen Shire.
Glen Char, who drove long along the wing with the ball, was very fast, and Jones, who came up to defend him, was shaken by Glen Char's feint, only to see Glen Charles dribbling the ball down the bottom at high speed.
Glen Shire, who had been in a row for the two, ignited the enthusiasm of the Lions' Den but a cross from the bottom down sent the ball off the opposite touchline.
Trezeguet, who was outflanked in the middle, lowered his head a little frustrated and ran back, and Larsson at the far end could only turn and run back, but still gave Glen Charles some encouragement with a thumbs up.
I saw that kick cross just now. Aldrich bowed his waist slightly, slightly regretful.
Glen Shire, another player who made him feel tricky.
There is speed. There are breakthroughs, the only flaws are crosses and shots scored.
Compared to crosses and shots, crosses are worse.
In the statistics of the past two seasons, Glen Charles has the highest number of dribbles per game, although his way of passing is very simple, relying on explosive power to accelerate the change of direction, but a trick is not a bad thing, with one action and three moves, there is no difference in the actual meaning, but the difference is in the appreciation of the process.
He averaged the most dribbles per game, and with that was a miserable cross success rate.
So much so that when the media ridiculed him, they would say: Glen Charles is the king of Millwall, that's all.
From Aldridge's point of view as a manager, it doesn't matter how many people Glenschal has had, even if he starts with seven or eight people at the back, but in the end it can't lead to goals, that is, inefficiency.
So, his poor cross plummeted his breakthrough threat.
Aldridge turned around and walked up to Muhrenstin, who was sitting next to Jensen, bowed his head and asked, "Is the focus of Jespe's technical training still outstanding?" β
With Muhrensting and Moniz, many players receive extra coaching on top of their regular training sessions.
"Passing is the key, how much better have you seen him on the pitch than in the last two seasons? β
Aldrich said helplessly: "But what about after he passes? The lack of a cross and the lack of threat to the shot led to our poor attacking efficiency on the left. β
Offensive efficiency is generally reflected on the pitch in terms of goals and shots on target.
If you don't shoot, or if you shoot all the shots, you can't form an assist, and you can pass people like a fart.
Muhrensteen also saw this, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then strengthen his crosses and shootings? β
Aldridge shook his head and said: "I can't be optimistic that he can practice crosses, shots, dribbles to the best, rather than you strengthen his crosses and shooting training, it is better to focus on training the shooting skills under the combination of the ball, my winger can cross a little worse, but must have the ability to score." β
Mulenstin pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Well, I'll study his characteristics when I go back." β
Aldridge turned and walked back to the sidelines, as he said, his winger crosses can be poor, but he must have the ability to score, just like Shevchenko on the right side, the task is to play short passes and insert into the box to score, long balls from long distances or wide crosses, by Schneider, the full-back behind the opposite.
He can't train every player into a decathlon, that's unrealistic, every player has a limit, energy, time, talent, etc.
Glenschal's style of play is more like that of a classical winger, and Aldridge must let him abandon the classical winger's style of play and move towards the development of a modern winger. (To be continued......)
