263 Kneel!
Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——
In the seventh round of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur faced Millwall at White Hart Lane, and the focus of the battle left everyone depressed.
This London derby was played with passion, and there was not even a spark bursting out.
Aldridge really felt that he had miscalculated.
He sent substitutes to play, but the result was to let the substitute lineup fight a tough battle!
After half an hour of play, Tottenham Hotspur could not see any signs of their soldiers pressing the situation except for relying on their individual ability to make a fool of themselves in the frontcourt.
Francis probably doesn't dare to bet on what lineup Millwall will send to play, only when the opponent will show the strongest strength to play this league, after all, it is a London derby, and Millwall is a guest.
But Aldridge boldly used the substitute lineup.
Fans on both sides of the stand were depressed.
Tottenham fans feel guilty.
Grass your ancestors, Francis, the other party is a group of hairy boys in their early twenties, you fucking are at home but you are setting up a bus, you are shameless, don't let Tottenham have no face to see people!
The home fans booed their manager in protest.
Francis sat calmly, with a rather unfazed demeanor.
I'm afraid he thinks more: If he loses to these hairy boys at home, then he won't have a face!
The Lions fans arrived at White Hart Lane with the majesty of the midweek win over PSV Eindhoven, and they were full of joy to watch a good matchup.
Haven't Tottenham fans always had a sense of superiority?
We think that Tottenham's football is the most beautiful in England, and although we don't dare to call it the most beautiful, we are certainly the most passionate football. Let's be neighbors. Have a good fight.
Millwall and Tottenham have basically no hatred. The well water does not interfere with the river water, at best, Tottenham despises Millwall's poor ghosts, and Millwall's hatred of the rich fights back against Tottenham.
There is generally no peace between the fans.
But half an hour before the game, the Wild Lions fans shouted hoarsely, and they couldn't help but sneer at the Tottenham fans.
Tottenham, don't be a shrunken turtle, okay?
Tottenham fans burst into tears and were despised by the hillbilly!
Wait until the second half starts. Most of the Lions fans are also about to cry: Malegobi, please, come out, you are using human flesh to build the goal so that mosquitoes can't fly in, is it interesting? With your style of play, the ticket is half as expensive as our Lions, are you sorry?
The Tottenham players didn't get tired today, they just hurt, except for striker Rio Ferdinand, who was relatively clean and his shirt was like new. The other players retreated to the inside and outside of the penalty area, either doing the work of sappers or having the sense of sacrifice to block the gun's eye at any time.
Aldridge was on the verge of scratching on the sidelines.
Today Duff was lined up front. Vanney, Glenschal trio, Fanny can fish in troubled waters, but the people around him are too dense, the king of the small forbidden area has not yet reached the realm of the title of enthronement, and it is estimated that Fanny himself is dizzy, and he can't find which direction the goal is.
The ability of Duff and Glen Charles is now not up to the level of breaking dense defense, Glen Charles needs space, and Duff's skills still need to be honed.
Aldridge's fantasy before the game is very wonderful, according to Tottenham's frame against Leicester City, Millwall does not need to use Tony as a bridgehead like Martin O'Neill, we have a speed-oriented winger, as long as Tottenham attack, Millwall flies on both wings when switching from defense to attack, is it not a flat horse?
But Tottenham Hotspur is determined to die with Millwall today, and the success of the defense is to clear the siege with one kick, and the brothers are all watching from the back: Brother Rice, it's up to you! One of the opposing defenders is your nephew, let him have Infernal Affairs once, and you can give him half of your goal bonus when you go home!
Ferdinand started the first half with a scramble and a fight, and then simply walked to avoid being played as a monkey by the opponent.
The three midfielders today are Nedved partnering Frank Lampard and Gattuso, who have returned from injury, and the 25-year-old steely Czech is an exemplary pacesetter in the team, and there is nothing to say about his professionalism, so his physical reserves are naturally no problem, plus he is already talented and can sustain his physical strength in continuous battles.
But with Nedved alone leading these young people, his mental outlook is fine, but the teamwork is very threatening.
They can't be blamed, Tottenham was crazy in front of the penalty area, a group of sappers worked hard, Nedved had the intention to kill the thief and was unable to return to the sky, but he still found the opportunity to patiently communicate with Duff, Glen Shial, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Lampard and other players.
How much can you improve just by talking and playing in the game?
Aldridge couldn't take it anymore and he walked to the sideline and called Materazzi to the front.
Materazzi was also quite clean, except for Ferdinand's attempt to break through in the opening game, which he easily defused, the rest of the time, he responded in midfield, or he ran to the landing point of the opponent's clearance.
"Marco, go up and play as a striker."
In fact, Materazzi had expected something when he was called over by Aldrich, and he ran excitedly to the front line without saying a word.
Aldridge gave the players a few more gestures to make them understand what to do next.
Glen Charles played a long shot from close to the middle, conceded the wing to Mills in the back to come up and crossed, and the other side was the same, Duff was close to the middle, and the wing was handed to Neil.
As a result, Millwall's formation has almost become a 1144.
There is only one Leo Ferdinand left at the back.
Gattuso at the back.
From left to right in the defensive line are Neil, Nedved, Frank Lampard, Mills.
The forward line is Duff, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Materazzi, Glen Char.
Although the formation is like this, it is only a hierarchical arrangement when attacking, and if you defend, the forward line will definitely recover quickly.
Aldrich looked at the immobile Francis next door with a resentful look: Big brother, I've done it this far, if you are a man, attack it!
On the bright side, at least, Millwall gave their opponents plenty of room to attack.
It was risky, but Aldrich couldn't help it. Don't give more space to the frontcourt players. They can't do it. Originally, some players were young, a little weaker in the confrontation, and then the space was compressed, and the advantage of the skill at the foot could not be brought into play, not to mention the speed, they wanted to sprint, where to rush? Stands?
Commentators Martin Taylor and Andy Gray were also extremely depressed, feeling that the 90-minute game was simply tormenting.
Coming and going is the Millwall offensive. Tottenham clear, Millwall shoots from distance and Tottenham players block it
When Millwall's twelfth long-range shot was blocked by the opposing defender with his body, Martin Taylor almost wanted to smash the microphone!
It's completely inexplicable.
If they're a radio commentator and don't have a TV picture for the audience, then eight out of ten sentences in their commentary are Millwall attacking, passing, stopping, crossing, shooting. Infinite loop.
Just listening to this explanation, the ghost wondered if they were explaining Millwall's offensive training
The fans in White Hart Lane were almost numb. A blank face.
Aldridge has instead become the most active figure outside of the players on the pitch, constantly changing his formation.
Mills' crosses were of poor quality, and although Glenschal's crosses were not good, they were at least better than Mills, so Glenschal and Mills were replaced.
The other side is the same, Duff has no space in the penalty area, and he can't even touch the ball at his feet, and he repeatedly falls in the penalty area, which is a physical confrontation.
So Aldridge sent the tougher Neil to the box, and Duff used that golden left foot to pass the ball outside.
At this time, there was a very strange scene on the offensive end of Millwall.
"Well, if we hadn't watched the game unfold, I'm afraid the crowd would have thought Millwall's players were drunk today. Materazzi, Neil, Mills, and the three starting defenders rushed to the front for headers and acted as strikers. ”
"Hall really can't help it, he has only one striker Van der Meyde on the bench today, and the Dutch lad probably can't make a difference in such a situation, or let the defenders use their bodies to expand the space in the penalty area, and they can also grab headers, maybe there will be a miracle."
"It's a miracle, I think today's game was already a miracle."
Frontal penetration can't be scored, and there is no room for individual breakthroughs, even if you give Aldridge a Maradona, you can't give him an England half-court defensive formation to break through layer by layer!
With no fewer than 15 shots from distance, Millwall are expected to set a new record today for the number of shots on goal and the number of shots that missed the woodwork.
When the game came to the bottom five minutes, Aldridge was furious, pointed at Rio Ferdinand and told him to rush forward.
Originally, after the start of the game, the audience found out that Leo Ferdinand was on the scene, and they thought that today's game would definitely be particularly interesting.
As Leo's uncle, Les Ferdinand not only competed together, but also played against each other, which will surely be rumored to be a good story.
But when the game was almost over, everyone shook their heads and silently muttered in their hearts: this is a joke!
The two were idle enough to sit with Millwall goalkeeper Keller and fight the landlords.
Athletics?
The competition is about the same as who has cleaner clothes.
After Leo rushed up, Gattuso retreated to play at the back, what formation is Millwall in now?
145, or 127 Absolute Retro Array.
Not to mention, as soon as Leo rushed up, Millwall clearly had the upper hand.
There are many high points in the penalty area, and the threat of crosses increases dramatically.
A couple of crosses in quick succession stunned the Tottenham defence, who made hasty clearances, and Nedved, who consciously grabbed the spot on the perimeter, did not give Tottenham a chance to counter-attack.
When the second minute of stoppage time came, Frank Lampard moved to the wing and whipped a long, diagonal ball into the box.
Aldridge saw this cross on the sidelines, and it must have landed well, and there were three big Millwall players vying for it.
Ferdinand, Materazzi, Neil.
Good guys, three defenders, if you just turned on the TV, you would have thought it was a set-piece attack.
Materazzi pressed past the Tottenham defender to grab the penalty and hit the goal with a beautiful header.
Aldridge was overjoyed when he saw the ball flying towards the goal.
But in less than a second, he fell from the heaven ready to celebrate into the abyss of loss.
Bang!
The ball hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced to the ground, where it was held by the goalkeeper.
Aldridge knelt for Tottenham.
Really kneeling.
He covered his face and knelt on the sidelines, unable to hide his loss.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the White Hart Lane boos shook the sky!
Aldridge adjusted his frustration, and then did not shake hands with Francis, and walked straight into the players' tunnel.
After being interviewed in the mixed area, he led the team to leave the sad place of White Hart Lane.
During the interview, without waiting for the reporter to ask, Aldridge said with a serious face: "Congratulations to Tottenham for the victory." ”
The BBC reporter was stunned and speechless.
He immediately asked his colleague next to him, "What's the score?" ”
“0:0.”
"Are you sure?"
"The whole world is confirmed!"
Only then did the reporter turn back to look for Aldrich, but Aldridge had already left, so he immediately caught up and hurriedly said: "Mr. Hall, you are mistaken, the game just now was a draw." ”
Aldridge looked back and said impatiently: "That's right, it's a draw, for Tottenham, a draw is a win, in their eyes, there are two outcomes in football, a loss is a defeat, a draw is a win, a win?" What's that? ”
Aldridge turned around and left, not wanting to stay in White Hart Lane for another second.
The BBC reporter laughed, and he immediately said to the camera: "At Tottenham's home stadium, the defending champions have suffered the fourth point loss in seven league games in the new season, this is their third draw, although Hall is very unwilling, but Millwall's performance today should be respected, and Tottenham, perhaps as Hall said, Tottenham no longer knows what it means to win, losing is not terrible, what is terrible is losing the determination to win."
