The fans in the stands were laughing and crying, many of them were skeptical about Shevchenko's appearance one second ago, and they preferred substitute Phillips to come on and put on a magical goalscoring performance, but Shevchenko broke the deadlock less than a minute after he came on the pitch, and the fans just hugged and waved their arms and shouted, only to see Shevchenko hit the goalpost and fell on the grass, and then was carried down on a stretcher.

What the hell happened to Millwall?

It seems that there is a debut curse hanging over their players.

Patrick Vieira was still fresh in his mind last season when he was sent off with a red card on his debut, and this season's new striker left the pitch after a minute of injury.

Of course, this was only the sudden incident that reinforced the impression, and the centre-back Erguera, who made his debut this season in the summer, did well.

Either way, the lad at least had a more magical performance.

The fans applauded him and prayed for him, hoping that his injury wouldn't be too serious.

Millwall successfully broke the ice, Aldridge immediately replaced Shevchenko with Vieira, who left the field injured, and with more than 20 minutes left in the game, Nottingham Forest is now behind, and it is natural to attack wildly.

Clark was very unwilling, he lost a big player in the summer, Collymore was poached by Liverpool, which caused huge problems for his line-up, in fact, he felt in his heart that taking a point away from the Lion's Den was an acceptable result.

Now that the team is behind, he doesn't dare to let the team press hard, Liverpool's midfield creativity is obvious to all, but the defensive strength is not particularly strong, after pressing up, Millwall has reached the back line to sieve, Nottingham Forest if they attack, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not continue to concede goals.

But there's always something wrong with giving it a go.

Nottingham Forest began to put in troops up front, and they also played ground passes, so Aldridge sent Vieira to strengthen the midfield and vertical interceptions.

The game became stalemate, the two teams fought for each other in the midfield, and no one organized an effective offensive until the last five minutes of the game, Clark had to make the most difficult fight, he waved his big hand, so that the players in the midfield and backfield also began to press forward, whether it was a success or a failure.

Aldridge was not surprised to see the change in the situation on the sidelines.

Millwall's style of football needs space to play, the whole team is like a spring, the more pressure the opponent gives, they can shrink back, and once the ball is transferred to Millwall's side, then the power of the spring burst is even greater.

This is also the rhythm of the game of many strong teams in the future, playing weaker opponents than themselves, the most difficult is always the first goal, once the first goal appears, then the weak team can not be conservative, the goals of the strong team will follow, but if the strong team is attacked first, then the defense of the weak team will be more firm, and the game will be unpredictable.

Nottingham Forest's attack was disrupted by Stam on the edge of the box and launched a counter-attack on the spot.

From the beginning of the second half, Nedved in the forward position, Pire and Schneider on both sides, plus the forward arrow Larsson, the four began to run forward in layers, Vieira took the ball and Thuram made a one-two quick forward, and rolled the ball diagonally near the center circle, and the ball was accurately passed in front of Pire.

Pire didn't stop the ball, met the ball and crossed the middle, Nedved was already in front of Nottingham Forest's hastily retreating backline, looking up, all of them were holes, he calmly stuffed the ball straight into the penalty area, Larsson successfully countered offside, went to the meeting single-handedly, the goalkeeper attacked, Larsson deftly shook the angle of the angle of the arch and pushed, the ball rolled into the gate against the turf.

'Larsson scored his seventh league goal of the season and the striker showed the qualities of a top goalscorer, his calmness in handling the ball was impressive, the perfect killer! There was no hope for Nottingham Forest, and the game was about to go into stoppage time, with Aldridge's side unshakably dominating at home! ”

After the goal, Larsson turned around and hugged his teammates, Aldridge persuaded him to stay, partly because of Aldridge's reliance on and cultivation of him, and partly because he played in Millwall as if he was like a cloud, very happy, these teammates behind him, Schneider, Nedved, Pire, plus Trezeguet who partnered with him in the front, Larsson felt that with these teammates, not only his shooter power can be exerted, but also they as a team, play football very easily, everyone does not need to communicate too much, The chemistry on the pitch is simply heart-to-heart.

Clark's determination and courage to fight against the odds vanished without a trace after the goal, and he waited for the game to end, there was nothing to say, and there was no complaint about the loss of this game.

Stoppage time ran out quickly and the game was over at full-time, and the fans at the Lion's Den had become accustomed to standing up and applauding their team at the end of the game.

Last season, Millwall won 20 and drew three of their 23 home games in League One, and the terrifying momentum allowed fans to enjoy their home games to the fullest, so it became a habit to give back with cheers and applause while receiving thanks from their players.

Last season's League One Manager of the Year and Premier League Manager of the Year, Aldridge and Clark, came together after the game to shake hands and exchange a few words.

Clarke consulted about the transfer possibilities of several young players in Millwall's team, and the main player Millwall will definitely not be sold, and even if it is sold, Nottingham Forest cannot afford to pay a lot of money.

Clarke asked about Vieira, as well as Phillips on the bench.

Aldridge smiled and said regretfully that all Millwall players were not for sale.

No strong team does not need substitutes, to become a strong team, the thickness of the bench is one of the key factors, sometimes fans marvel at the top team bench lineup luxury, which also explains from the side what the top team can repeatedly succeed.

Walking back into the dressing room, Aldrich praised the lads for their performance today, and then he went to the medical department to ask about Shevchenko.

Although the Ukrainian nuclear warhead is broken and the blood flow looks scary, in fact, it is only a traumatic injury, before being sent for examination, he was conscious, although the results of the examination have not yet come out, but the doctors of the medical department said that there should be no major problem, the head stitches, ten days and half a month of rest can be recovered.

Aldrich was finally happy now.

He went back to his office, took out a poster with the trophy on it, and went into the locker room, where he pasted it on the wall.

Naturally, the players who changed their clothes after the rinse spotted the posters on the wall, and everyone smiled.

The trophy on that is the English League Cup.

Next, they are going to play in the League Cup.

Fortunately, it was a home game against Wolves, and it was also an old rival, which we met in League One last year.

On his way home from work, Aldridge was walking out of the club when someone behind him stopped him.

"Hey, boss."

Aldridge looked back and it was the club's CEO, Adam.

"Is there something wrong?"

"At the time of the game, Andrew came over and asked me to tell you that Mr. Puskas had been transferred to the hospital and that he would be brought from Budapest to London next Tuesday."

Andrew used to hold a false position at Millwall, and he had known Adam for a long time, and Aldridge's mobile phone was in silent mode during the game, and he didn't take it out to watch, so Andrew had to let Adam be a microphone.

"Well, I know it."

"Boss, with all due respect, is that really Puskash? I mean, that Puskash! ”

Aldrich probably guessed what the other party was going to say, frowned, and said, "Adam, it's that Puskas." ”

Adam looked happy and whispered, "Boss, if we can make our relationship with Mr. Puskas public, take a few pictures as "

"Stop! Adam, do you have someone you respect from the bottom of your heart? ”

Adam was stunned, then replied, "Yes, Professor Smith of the Business School is the person I respect the most, and I will never forget his teachings. ”

"Well, imagine that Professor Smith is seriously ill and you would use him to make money, and if your answer is: yes, then please put your resignation letter on my desk. See you again. ”

Aldrich turned away, and Adam raised an eyebrow in place and shrugged his shoulders, then smiled self-deprecatingly.

Four days later, Millwall hosted Wolves, Aldridge sent all the main players he could to the field, and Wolves obviously still had to fight for promotion to the Premier League, so they didn't care about the cup, and Millwall easily beat Wolves at home to advance to the next round.

Ahead of the FIFA matchday, the sixth round of the Premier League kicks off and Millwall continues to sit at home with a familiar opponent: Middlesbrough.

Brian Robson has led Middlesbrough this season with a pragmatic style of play, drawing at Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers, winning at home to Chelsea and Coventry City, and only losing to Newcastle United, who have been in bad form for the new season.

is also a promoted horse, but its strength is not what it used to be.

Brian Robson's formation is more conservative and thorough than that of Nottingham Forest, and their formation last season looked like 532, but this time they faced Millwall, and directly put on a 541 formation, except for leaving a striker to harass in front, the other players all returned to the inside and outside of the penalty area, building two dense defensive lines.

The Lions had 27 shots on goal in the 90 minutes of the game, but only six were on target, while Middlesbrough had no shots on goal and less than 30% possession, and the two teams ended up in a 0-0 draw.

After the game, Aldridge faced Robson and could only shake hands with the opponent with a wry smile.

He didn't have any resentment in his heart, and the opponent didn't use means beyond the rules, football is like this, it's not that you are strong and you will definitely win, especially when the opponent doesn't want to win and doesn't want to lose.

With the FIFA international break approaching, Aldridge faced a team that lacked a lot of key players, and he continued to train on weekdays, occasionally playing two coaching matches against the youth team, and on the international break, he gave the team a day off while he stayed home to watch Hungary's away game against Turkey.

There was little suspense in the game, as Turkey beat Hungary 2-0 to put down Hungary's hopes of qualifying for the European Championships.
