974 The decisive battle has begun!
Thank you for the rewards of "The Death of the Thief", "Qingqing Little Wolf" and "The Passing Water of the Great Jiangdong"! ――
The Lion King is in Highbury!
In the stands of Highbury, Millwall's number of fans was far less than the number of home fans, but when this domineering cry shook the sky, it seemed to announce that the home atmosphere of Highbury's home team was invisible.
The whole team of Millwall with the appearance is majestic, and the championship temperament and king spirit make them extremely shining!
Millwall is the king of Europe.
Before the king of Europe, they had to be the king of England.
Before the King of England, they were: the King of London!
King's Landing!
The Arsenal fans in the stands also seemed to want to fight back with shouts, but the sporadic shouts did not form a majestic momentum, but only made the cheering of the home team noisy.
Arsenal's fans are the quietest fans in the Premier League, from their fan class, most of them come from the middle class of society, where like the lion 99% of the local fans are blue-collar class, there is always a bare feet not afraid to wear shoes of the fierce energy!
This kind of roaring to the fullest, ignoring the strange eyes of others, and never having the concept of "loss of identity", in their lives, Millwall's belief in life is far more profound than that of some aristocratic fans.
"This is the Lions fan! They are clearly anti-guest in Highbury! The Lion King is in Highbury! What a powerful declaration! ”
"Now, Sir Hall and the Lion are a perfect match. Some have slammed Sir Hall for being too arrogant, arguing that he has been emphasising that Arsenal will fail. Millwall will succeed in the reversal. But. The question is, if, had Millwall failed to complete the comeback, wouldn't Sir Hall be a laughing stock? All his remarks against Arsenal will go down in history, and this season's defeat will nail him to the pillar of shame, and he will be ridiculed and ridiculed by hostile fans, especially Arsenal fans, countless times in the future! ”
"Andy. Indeed, this is the psychology of the public, there will be reputational profit and loss considerations, and boasting about Haikou will be laughed at and generous if it cannot be realized. But, on the other hand, countless neutral fans are now waiting to see the jokes, either to laugh at Arsenal or Sir Hall. Did you find a problem with this? ”
"Hahaha, of course! Sir Hall made a bet on the reputation of one man. The object of the bet is the whole of Arsenal! Sir Hall won, history will remember Millwall's miraculous comeback this season, Sir Hall lost, Arsenal returned to the Premier League title after 6 years, but the loser who was portrayed as a clown will only be Sir Hall alone! That's the problem! Sir Hall didn't care about his personal honor and disgrace at all, when he launched a psychological war against Arsenal, he isolated the Millwall team from the outside world, so that the team was not affected, all the pressure of public opinion was gathered on him alone, and when Arsenal lost points because of a draw in the league, when Millwall caught up, people were talking about the entire Arsenal team, aiming at their players, how much pressure will this put on Arsenal? What did Sir Hall's psychological warfare pay for? Millwall calmly and steadily caught up with Arsenal in the league and completed their first full season in charge of Millwall, leading the team to the Champions League final! But what about Arsenal? They have been playing in a tense and panicked environment for the past two months, with the FA Cup semi-final being kept out of the final by an out-of-service Manchester United, and then the pressure in the league has never been greater, Sir Hall has achieved his goal, and for Arsenal, they are making a mistake if they don't win the game! Huge mistake! But Millwall has also had draws in the past two months, but no one cares about Millwall's loss of points, but when it comes to the finale, Arsenal has become more nervous! ”
"The suave Wenger is tired of Sir Hall's psychological warfare, he thinks that Arsenal can reap success as long as they work hard, but in England, this football news is the mainstream news every day in the public opinion environment, the power of the media is very strong, Sir Hall, Sir Alex Ferguson, when a certain shape appears, they will be very keen to grasp the opportunity to guide the trend of public opinion, create a better environment for themselves, and at the same time create huge pressure and trouble for the opponent."
"Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides, and today's final showdown will reveal the final answer for us. Arsenal have the advantage of home and points advantage, and Millwall looks to be in a bad situation, but in the last two months, Millwall's overall strength has taken a leap, and they are at least reminiscent of the unbeatable Lions that swept across Europe two years ago!
Arsenal started 442.
Goalkeeper: Lehmann.
Defenders: Lauren, Campbell, Toure, Van Bronckhorst.
Midfielders: Ljungberg, Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Pire.
Forwards: Bergkamp, Ibrahimovic.
Arsenal has a full lineup, and they are playing at home again, and their form is fine, and I believe they will burst out stronger for the championship trophy.
Millwall started 433.
Goalkeeper: Bout.
Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.
Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.
Millwall's start today is only one surprise, that is, according to media pre-match reports, Larsson has recovered from a minor injury in the last round of the league, but did not play in the game of Elland Road, the outside world predicts that Sir Hall is to charge Larsson and play this closing game, however, Larsson is still sitting on the bench, replacing him in the starting line is Portuguese supernova Ronaldo, it seems that Larsson either has a recurrence of the old injury, or Sir Hall has other plans, otherwise Larsson will definitely be the starting candidate, This decisive battle, need more veteran experience to play, Larsson is such a candidate, contributed 29 assists in the league this season, if it is a young Larsson, maybe he can break Beckham's Premier League record of 33 assists in a single season, but if it is really a young Larsson, he will definitely compete with Henry in the Golden Boot, haha, in the use of Larsson, I have to admire Sir Hall's unique vision, he is maximizing the energy of veterans and giving full play to their experience, The greatest help to this reborn team. ”
Aldridge stood on the sidelines and looked at Arsenal's starting line-up.
Without Ashley Cole's Arsenal, Arsene Wenger abandoned Silvinho and focused on building the Dutchman Van Bronckhorst and Pire's left wing combination, and Van Bronckhorst's attacking ability was completely activated.
Ibrahimovic is not Henry, Henry has a large range of activities, and the combination of side and center is stronger to instigate the attack, while Ibrahimovic has a natural advantage, and has been trained by Wenger for many years, and this season has also ushered in a big explosion, scoring and assisting 20+, and has entered the ranks of Europe's top strikers in one fell swoop.
The most important person on the offensive end, a person who doesn't watch the game and only looks at the number of jù zài is very weak: Bergkamp!
At a time when utilitarian football was all the rage in European football, there was a saying circulating in Europe.
"Want to see art football? Either go to the Bernabeu to see Zidane, go to the Lion King Stadium to see Ronaldinho, or, go to Highbury to see Bergkamp! ”
Bergkamp celebrated his 35th birthday five days ago.
In addition to physical problems, for non-explosive technical players, the decline in technical ability is not obvious, supplemented by the improvement of game reading ability, the older such players are, the more obvious the role on the court.
Speaking of technical ability alone, Bergkamp's advantage is in handling the ball, for example, the average player, stop the ball, get rid of, turn, observe, make a choice, it may take 3 seconds to get the ball in a static situation, but a player like Bergkamp, first stop the ball perfectly, and then make a decision, maybe shorter than the average player at least 1 second.
This time may seem short, but Arsenal's wide storm, quick counter-attack, the pursuit is fast!
Bergkamp's ability to spot openings, capture openings, and connect midfield attacks is something that cannot be seen without watching the game.
Because if you just look at the number jù, you will feel that this ice prince is exaggerated too much.
At Arsenal, he has never scored more than 20 goals in a single season, and only the first four seasons of the last double!
Since 3 years ago, Bergkamp has handed over more and more goals every season, focusing not on goals, but on assists, with a minimum of 15 assists per season, but the number of goals is getting smaller and smaller.
Arsenal's 442 is by no means a 442 in the standard sense, and can even be seen as a 4231.
Bergkamp's number jù is a top-tier number if you put it on a midfielder or an attacking midfielder, and the tasks he takes on in attack cannot be seen as a mere striker.
In fact, it is difficult to define Bergkamp's specific role on the field, only based on his miserable number of goals in consecutive seasons, and only 4 goals this season, making him unable to compare with the pure striker No. 9, or the No. 9 and a half who can pass and shoot, and the decline in his ability to score points makes him more like a pseudo-No. 10 in the eyes of Aldridge, that is, the core of the frontcourt organization, but it has expanded the coverage of the organization to the forward line.
As for why he is "pseudo", because he does not have the organizational ability to tear apart the opponent's defense in the traditional No. 10 positional battle.
Arsenal is mainly on the counterattack, only counterattacking, the front space is vast, the field of vision is wide in the specific environment, Bergkamp in the center of the attacking system to play a series of planning ability is very critical, in front of Ibrahimovic, behind the double back assist up a person, on the left has Pire, on the right has Ljungberg, Bergkamp will transfer the attack, activate the front point of attack, and make an unparalleled contribution.
For Arsenal's attacking system, Aldridge has formulated a very detailed battle plan in this decisive battle today, to tear apart the opponent, it is necessary to strangle its most critical threat point, or the source of attack, he will never pin his hope on a star with a flash of inspiration, if that, Millwall will not go to today, and will not wait for the decisive battle to be left far behind by Arsenal.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, Aldrich secretly said in his heart: The decisive battle has begun! (To be continued......)
