981 Veterans are brave, and ten years have created legends
Arsene Wenger was already bloodless.
Before the restart, Millwall made a substitution at the same time as Arsenal!
This caused ridicule from the narrator.
"Millwall made a second substitution, made a change, and Arsenal was only the first substitution, and it was when the score was already two goals behind, Wenger and Sir Hall in the on-the-field battle, Sir Hall was clearly at least one step ahead of Wenger, and looking back at the first 80 minutes of the game, Millwall may have been in the lead as a whole strategy!"
Millwall replaced full-back Ashley Cole and came on with Lucas Neal.
Arsenal's substitutions were replaced by youngster Klich for the exhausted Van Bronckhorst, and Wiltord replaced the equally exhausted Bergkamp.
Every coach has a clear command style, like Arsene Wenger, even when it comes to desperate situations, there are very few desperate substitutions that pile up strikers to weaken the defense, and the current substitution adjustment seems to be making counterpoint substitutions.
Perhaps Arsene Wenger is very focused on the team's operating system, and he will breathe life into a mature system, but would rather die than destroy and tear apart his own tactical system.
Strengthening the defence doesn't make sense for Arsenal, who are desperate to score goals, but if they pile up strikers, they will inevitably weaken the defence even further, which Wenger naturally does not want to see.
And he himself should know that Chrissy is still immature, only energetic, inexperienced, Wiltord has played a low number of appearances this season, and it is difficult to expect high hopes like Kanu, and the things of the Savior in danger can be fantasized, but against the Wild Lions, there is only a little more than 10 minutes to go. Hope for a miracle. Not many people in the world would believe it.
This time. Millwall can play the defense back, the attacking line retreats, and the midfield and backfield are stable and controlled.
Arsenal played just once and did not touch the ball for two minutes.
All the Millwall coaches stood on the sidelines, waiting for the game to end and for the final whistle to blow.
The hindsight commentator suddenly said passionately: "When Neil came out, we realized a change in Millwall's lineup!" Bout, Neil, Southgate. Schneider, Larson, Nedved! These six players are the first generation of Lions veterans after Sir Hall took over Millwall ten years ago! Ten years later, they're still wearing the lion jerseys, ten years later, they're on the same court, and ten years later, they don't have to say anything, they don't have to prove anything. They eulogized youth with loyalty, and they dedicated a qiē to Millwall! They. Wrote a ten-year legend of the wild lion! ”
"Lucas Neil is a player who came to the team earlier than Sir Hall, ten years ago, in the summer of '94, Sir Hall became the owner of the Lions, in the transfer market on a large scale, he brought in a total of more than 20 players that summer, but in the end, can accompany Sir Hall to this day, through ten years of ups and downs, only 6 players, they are now on the field, waiting to lift Millwall's sixth Premier League trophy together! It's been a glorious decade for the Lions, and Millwall can't claim to be the king of England if they count the number of all-time titles, but they can proudly declare to the world: we are the kings of the Premier League! In 92, the Premier League was born, in 94, Millwall was reborn, and in 95, Millwall played in the Premier League for the first time, 9 seasons, and won six league championship trophies! ”
"People always ask, why is Millwall so strong? Why was it able to win the championship in ten years with a super stable and impressive performance? In today's football, which team can send five players who have been with the team for ten years in the decisive battle? In addition, Neil, who has been a long-term substitute, is very good in his own right, and he can play the main team when he goes to other middle and upper teams. Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, no team in the league or on the European battlefield has such a stable dìng! ”
"That's right, Sir Hall knew from his first day in charge that Millwall, who had not won a championship for a hundred years, wanted to conquer Europe first and foremost possess their souls! Southgate, Larson, Nedved, Bout, Schneider, Neil, it is their loyalty, their dedication, that supports the backbone of the lion, so that the lion has faced countless difficulties in the past ten years. They are extremely important to the past of this team, without them, it is difficult for us to imagine that perhaps the Lions have long been dismembered and destroyed by the European powers, and their importance to Millwall now is also self-evident, they are totems, they are spiritual symbols, they are the inheritance of faith, they are the unparalleled wealth of Millwall, they occupy the memory of the Lions fans for the past decade, and continue to have a positive impact on Millwall now and in the future, Ronaldinho said that he learned to be strong from Nedved, Learning from Larsson, learning responsibility from Gareth Southgate, and so on, this is a daily example of what happens within Millwall and they set an example for a new generation of Lions players that will benefit from generations of new Lions! ”
Arsenal haven't bowed to fate yet, they're struggling, they're fighting back, they're stealing the ball!
However, Millwall's skillful and tacit passing made Arsenal's big pressure become "self-inflicted".
In the 87th minute, Neil fiercely tackled the ball at Ljungberg's feet, and then saw that Ljungberg was unable to chase him, so he dribbled the ball along the side, and immediately transferred the ball to Xiao Luo who ran out of space after half-time.
Xiao Luo is almost out of shape, but it is no problem to insist on this outburst, he dribbles two steps to the side with the ball, and then turns to the inside horizontal dribbling, Silva wolf bèi has to stop and slide in front of him, Xiao Luo breaks through the back waist line, in the face of Campbell and Toure sandwich, he protects the ball and aims at the empty plug, and Nedved, who entered the penalty area in an offside position, does not stop the ball and volleys directly, and the ball goes into the net!
"Nedved has scored! 4:1, Arsenal's big pressure on the back court is empty, Ronaldinho breaks through to attract Arsenal defenders to defend and then pass Nedved, Millwall completely kills the suspense! With a two-goal lead, the suspense is almost gone. Right now. It's time for Arsenal to accept the final judgment of fate! Millwall's title is imminent. Enter the countdown! ”
Nedved took off his shirt after scoring and ran around the sidelines, the blonde man in a heroic and unrestrained posture as wild as he had been a decade ago.
At this moment, in the stands of Highbury, many Arsenal fans hid their faces and cried bitterly.
Millwall's supporters, however, did not make louder decibels of celebration, and gradually, the visitors stood in the stands. The result is a spectacular picture.
The lions raised their scarves, stretched them out, and collectively sang their team songs.
The lion emblem on the scarf is the most conspicuous, if you don't look closely, you will feel that the pattern of this scarf is confusing, and you don't know what is embroidered on it.
But if you look closely, you will see that there are countless names embroidered on it.
1994-1995: Southgate, Larsson, Nedved, Trezeguet
1995-1996:
It was Aldridge's 10th year at Millwall. It was the Hall family's ten years in charge of the Wild Lion.
This scarf was released last fall. It was snapped up by fans early.
Maybe the style is not novel, and the pattern is not beautiful, but every word embroidered on it is extraordinarily precious, representing a memory and condensing the soul of the wild lion in the spring and autumn of ten years.
Each season, Millwall's first-team players are embroidered with their names embroidered on them.
And only six names on it are embroidered in bold blue letters, and over there are the only six surviving veterans of Millwall's fruits, ten years of merit, ten years of legends!
Southgate, the eldest, will be 34 years old in the fall.
The youngest Neil is 26 years old.
Perhaps all but Neil are veterans and are at or near the end of their careers.
But today, Schneider scored, Nedved scored, Larsson scored, Bout was still in the net for Millwall and Gareth Southgate was still leading the defence.
They are veterans!
But they are still brave and can fight!
Lions fans are paying homage to Aldridge's 10-year legacy, Millwall's past 10 years of glory, and the legacy that remains with the team today
Arsenal, collapsed!
Even Vieira lowered his head, no longer rushing forward, no longer trying to achieve the miracle of scoring three goals in a row.
That's impossible!
There is no hope left.
Aldridge used up the last substitution to kill time in stoppage time.
'Ronaldinho was substituted and it was his compatriot Kaka who came on the pitch. Millwall's 11 players who are now on the pitch are really a combination of old and new in terms of age structure, 6 legendary veterans of the decade, and 3 young stars, De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka, counting Cristiano Ronaldo, who was substituted today, and Villa who sat on the bench, what reason do we have to refuse to look forward to Millwall's second legendary decade? Refuse to believe that Millwall, which has developed under Sir Hall's extremely steady state, will usher in a second dynasty of their own? Millwall are no longer a team with nothing, they have a past, they have a present and a future to look forward to! ”
When the full-time whistle ended, all the Millwall players and coaches rushed into the field!
They were more passionate than many of the previous championships!
Because, they accomplished a great miracle!
"The 2003-2004 English Premier League season ended perfectly! Arsenal have been at the top of the table since August 24 last year, after the second round of the Premier League, and until May 15 this year, they have been league leaders! However, on this very day, less than an hour before the end of the Premier League, they lost their place as they lost the lead in Highbury, 1-4 at their home stadium to Millwall, who had been chasing them since the first half! With only one game left, Arsenal can create the myth of undefeated championships, a myth of their own, but now, they have won 25 wins, 12 draws, and 1 loss in 38 rounds of the Premier League! The game they lost, they lost the league title! Millwall reversed Arsenal at the last minute with a record of 26 wins, 11 draws, and 1 loss to become the league champion, and now it can be announced that Sir Hall will lead Millwall back to the Premier League throne! In 12 days, they are likely to be back on top of Europe! It was an unimaginable miracle moment! The final suspense of the Premier League has finally been revealed at the end! Millwall, crowned league champion this season with Highbury's enthronement! Six crowns in nine years, a tribute to Sir Hall's ten-year legend and a tribute to Millwall's ten-year glory!
