793 God forsaken
Playing Millwall, it is obvious that it cannot be purely defensive, West Ham United is in the relegation ranks, the quality of the defense itself is not high, the lack of suitable defensive tactics relying on the numerical advantage alone, coupled with the inability to devote themselves to the game, distracted by the game at Anfield, the defensive effect is terrible.
Before the end of the first half, Ramour's 45-degree cross from the flank, Klose flicked his head into the net from the back post and flicked the ball into the goal, and it was clear from this goal that West Ham United were completely static in defense, and they did very poorly in marking and zone protection.
"5:0, well, in the first half, Millwall's group of youngsters played a crazy game, and now the Lion King Stadium has stopped broadcasting the score of the Anfield game, whether it is rumors or the truth, it doesn't matter, real-time standings, West Ham United is one less than 0:2 behind Liverpool's Ipswich Town due to goal difference, therefore, now West Ham United is ranked 18th in the Premier League, third from the bottom of the league, if the game is over now, they can prepare for next season's League One, fortunately, They have 45 minutes left to turn their fortunes around! ”
At half-time, the two sides almost clashed as they walked to the tunnel when West Ham United boss Rodell slammed Aldridge from 3 metres away!
"Hall, your team is a disgrace!"
"Are you going to win this way?"
"Millwall is a cancer in the Premier League!"
burst
The crowd didn't know who spat at Rodel and spit in his face, it wasn't Aldridge anyway, he didn't even look back.
Rodell was thoroughly enraged. It's going to be hand-to-hand combat!
The staff and referees in the stadium immediately separated the two groups. Neil hated West Ham United to the core. The worst injury of his career came from West Ham United, so he spat at the sight of an angry Rodel as he passed by, and there was some confusion at the time, there were no cameras and no one else knew about it except Klose next to him.
"Shut your mouth! You should be dancing here and celebrating that you've only lost 5 goals. Don't be like a muttering there, you have the ability to score a goal in the second half, idiot! ”
Neil said this openly.
"Lucas, stop talking, go into the locker room."
Aldridge called back, and then the Millwall players ignored the West Ham players who looked like dynamite kegs and walked into the dressing room first.
Rodell was going crazy.
This is not a true portrayal of his mood, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is already on the verge of losing his mind.
The referee team and Millwall's staff were quite sympathetic to him.
It would have been a good situation. As a result, step by step we reached the threshold of relegation.
The home atmosphere at the Lion King Stadium was the main reason for his near-collapse, without the fans who were making noise in the stands. How can West Ham United be in disarray, playing on the pitch without a team.
Back in the dressing room, Aldridge calmly said to all the players: "To be honest, you surprise me, no, amazement!" In my expectation, even if we played well, it would have been almost the same as winning by two goals in the first half, but you actually wrote the score as 5:0, grass, it was a fantastic scoreline, and of course, you also know that without our fans in the stands to cause problems for West Ham United, our opponents would not have given us a chance so lightly. ”
The players in the chairs held their heads high, they were very proud, the game was great for them today, the opponents were simply vulnerable, and the fans in the stands were so lovely.
'There are 45 minutes left in the game and now let's analyse the second half, West Ham are down one place in the table, they are going to move up and get back to safety from the relegation zone, either Ipswich concedes another goal or they score a goal, but will they be pinning their hopes on Liverpool? What if Ipswich Town scored at Anfield in the next half? Then won't they completely lose hope of relegation? So, they're going to attack, they're going to try to reshape the game, we've got the FA Cup final, we've got the Champions League final, you've all been a big part of the team that we've got to be in the end, so in the second half we're going to have to be smart, save our body and keep the other side paying. ”
Aldridge said so much, in fact, it was nothing more than to tell the team: in the second half we played defense.
The background and shape of the game needed to defend against the counterattack have already qualified, and Millwall can play a defensive counterattack even if they lead 5-0, because West Ham United have to attack.
The reason why he said it was to make the players sober-minded, if the tactics were directly arranged, it was inevitable that some players would take it lightly because of the crazy score in the first half, and the most important thing for a team is unity of thought.
After explaining the tactics to the team, rearranging the formation positioning, and reminding the defenders in key areas, Aldridge let the team play, while the substitutes for this game also warmed up after the start of the second half.
In the second half, West Ham United really increased the number of troops put into the attack, and increased the aggression of the defense, the attack was high, the defense was fierce and savage, at first Millwall was not adaptable, after about 10 minutes, Millwall began to stand firm, and the referee's cards to suppress the fire on the field also had a certain effect.
In the 57th minute, in front of the West Ham United dugout, Rodell's assistant ran out again, intending to report to Rodell the latest news he had received from Anfield.
However, the assistant did not have a chance to speak, and the whole audience was watching Millwall's counterattack this time.
Ramour pulled up wide and dribbled the ball for a long run, West Ham defended empty, Klose in the middle was closely marked, and Ramour made a precise long pass and it was grounded.
The pass spanned the half, the force and angle were very well handled, just 2 meters behind Klose, and rolled to the right wing in front of the penalty area on the route that the defender could not touch, Villa slapped the horse and arrived, the first choice after touching the ball was not to continue forward, and the counter rebounded back to the middle, allowing the West Ham United defender to stop and turn to intercept him, obviously, it was unlikely to be done.
The Villars did a good job of combining the ball with consistency, taking the reverse cut route into the penalty area, and after Klose did it for him, he volleyed hard at a slightly small angle, and the goal won without interference, he was very sure, the ball was powerful and flew into the goal next to the goalkeeper's arm.
"6:0, Millwall is the next city, this counterattack, West Ham United doesn't even have a chance to foul! Oh my God, the West Ham nightmare isn't over yet, when exactly will it end? ”
Rodell closed his eyes weakly, and when he opened them again, he found his assistant standing beside him, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"Ugh"
"Say it!"
'Liverpool scored their third goal at Anfield 20 seconds ago to give them a 3-0 lead over Ipswich!'
"What?! WTF! Why didn't you say it earlier! ”
Rodell was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he was about to go completely crazy.
If Liverpool had scored the third goal, how would West Ham have taken the initiative?
As long as they don't concede that sixth goal, they will have the same goal difference as Ipswich, but West Ham have the advantage in goals scored and will be back in 17th place in the table!
Rodel's assistant wants to cry without tears, even if I sued you 20 seconds ago, is it useful?
Can you get the team to pull back and set up a bucket formation right away?
3:0
6:0
There was no change in the situation and at half-time, and Rodell felt that even God was not going to help them.
If Liverpool could have scored 3 minutes earlier, he would have adjusted the team's offensive and defensive posture after learning the news, and how could he give Millwall space to counterattack?
What now?
One can only continue to attack, praying that West Ham United can score one and regain control of their destiny.
Aldridge and the Millwall fans in the stands also knew the news, making them even more carried away as they celebrated their goal.
The West Ham United players on the field were about to collapse, 3 minutes later, Millwall got another great opportunity to counterattack, the last defender directly used a grappling action to knock Klose to the ground, the referee has some sympathy for West Ham United, but still took out a red card to send it off, that action if not given a red card, it is really unreasonable, the level of law enforcement will be questioned.
Aldridge saw that it was almost over, so he called Kaka, Ronaldo, and De Rossi to the sidelines, these three warmed up for a long time, and they have long been looking forward to their debut, especially Ronaldo, today's appearance means a lot to him.
Before they came on the pitch, Aldridge put his arm around their shoulders and gave them tasks after they came on the pitch.
De Rossi must be on the defensive, but Aldridge specifically told him to pay attention to the observation of the game, that is, the overall situation, a broad vision.
Kaka and Ronaldo are counterattacking, and even Aldridge gave Ronaldo the privilege, pressing the opponent's defense, and looking at the time to counter offside when switching from defense to attack.
Aldridge didn't delay either, and when he had a chance to die, he made three substitutions at once.
"Klose, Villa, Ramour came off and the three goalkeepers were cheered on by the fans, the atmosphere was much warmer than usual, and the three of them became derby heroes, it will be an unforgettable day for them! Also on the pitch were De Rossi, Kaka, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who also met the Premier League winner's medal requirements after his debut, and the youngster who was promoted to the first team in the middle of the season was able to win the first major title medal of his career after the game, and hopefully he can forget about it for a while and focus on the game first. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were as cold as a beast when he came on the field, he didn't come to mix the championship, and no one would think so, but he still had to prove himself further and make himself a memorable figure in the league this season. (To be continued......)
