751 steals the show
O'Reilly's first two seasons in charge were very successful, with impressive results in the first and a Champions League ticket in the second.
The third season would have been a very successful season if it hadn't been for the lack of a Champions League ticket at the end of the season, as they reached the last four of the Champions League.
Initially, the players had a lot of faith in him, but the events of the past year have caused them to lose faith in O'Reilly.
In layman's terms, it is to drop the chain.
In the third season, the league record slipped compared with the previous season's record, taking into account the test of the coach in Europe, this test, O'Reilly failed to pass it, which belongs to the chain drop.
With two Champions League semi-finals and three league games in between, and three games against Millwall, O'Reilly disappointed his players.
People have a psychology of escapism, most people will choose to find a substitute or shirk responsibility, the team has a fiasco, the players will not reflect on what they have done wrong, or what they have not done enough, more or less someone will put the blame on the manager.
In the second half of the season, that is, in the last two and a half months, the disappointment of O'Reilly within Leeds United has developed from the accumulation of volume to the essence of change, and internal contradictions have burst into flames.
Leeds United's players, managers, can no longer be seen as a whole.
The players are playing on the field, O'Reilly is directing on the sidelines, the players don't care what O'Reilly is crazy about, they don't look at him, and O'Reilly is still "performing" to his heart's content.
Leeds have been defending with all their might since conceding two goals, which naturally angered O'Reilly, but he couldn't substitute the whole team.
"4:O, Nedved's goal rewrote the score to 4:O. With 15 minutes left in the game, there was no suspense about the outcome of the game, and this result was really embarrassing, thinking about three and a half years ago. O'Reilly led Leeds United to Harl's Millwall for the first time at Elland Road. Leeds United got the win that season. Leeds United's 1-win, 1-draw advantage is eye-catching, but since then, Leeds have faced Millwall, and it is hard to say that a win is hard to find. It's hard to find! It's really strange that Leeds United has been on the rise in recent years, and its strength has become stronger and stronger, but its record in the strong dialogue has become worse and worse. ”
'I think it's Leeds who haven't been able to position themselves clearly, when a team starts to pick up and the top teams start to be wary. In the second and third encounters, the strong team is targeted and prepared. Attitude, will change dramatically, of course, there is a phenomenon of underestimating the enemy on the football field, when Leeds United is not recognized as a strong team, they are more likely to explode, it is easier for strong teams to encounter Waterloo, but when they are listed as one of the teams in contention, no matter how low the favorites are, then when the strong team beats them, they will do their best, Leeds United failed to recognize this, and, in terms of team state adjustment and control, I think O'Reilly is still a little less hot, noting that Leeds United began a team-wide slump of more than two months after ChristmasMillwall has done a good job in this regard, accumulating advantages at the beginning of the season, adjusting and recovering in the middle of the season, and in the second half of the season, they will go all out! It's the manager's ability to control the big picture. That's why we've been saying that the only thing that can beat Millwall is time and injury. ”
"Yes, time will make their stars age, their ability to decline, their form will slip, injuries, especially a large number of injuries, will disrupt all the plans of the manager. But Millwall has also done an impressive job in dealing with these two aspects, the excellent youth training system, constantly cultivating new talents, but making their squad constantly replenish fresh blood, the highest medical cost in the whole England and even the world's clubs, adding a layer of protection to the health of the players, and the manager will not overuse the players, which itself reduces the probability of the players suffering from injuries. When you think about it this way, what Hall did in Millwall is admirable, and it is not surprising why Millwall is not only powerful, but also terrifyingly stable. ”
"So, I think Hall can already be called a great manager. What he does today will provide a perfect template for his peers, and those who follow it will benefit imitators. ”
When the full-time whistle blew, Aldridge stood up and strode into the tunnel with a large number of empty stands, with the home fans starting to exit the stadium less than 6o minutes into the second half.
O'Reilly stood on the sidelines with a pale face, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.
"At the end of the game, Millwall defeated Leeds United at home 4:o away, this round was a good opportunity for Leeds United to close the gap with the top four, because in this round Liverpool is at home to Newcastle United, Manchester United is at home to Tottenham Hotspur, from Old Trafford and Anfield, we don't need to confirm the final result, because Manchester United is 4:O ahead of Tottenham at 9o minutes, Liverpool is 3:o ahead of Newcastle United, there is no suspense for the two red teams to win, After Leeds United's defeat in this game, although the points gap with fifth-placed Newcastle United has not changed, the distance to the top four has increased by three points, and with nine rounds of league games remaining, Leeds United's hopes of fighting for the top four are starting to fade. ”
Aldridge said in his post-match interview that he was pleased with the result and made no further comment.
At the end of the game, the story of Millwall and Leeds United at the competitive level is over.
And from the second day after the game, Leeds United's quiet changes began to surface, and the club's financial crisis completely exploded.
By losing this game, Leeds United completely lost the confidence of investors.
The fact is that they are further away from the top four and into next season's Champions League.
In three months, only 4 points have been scored in 8 league games, who can you say can be confident?
Rietzdale began begging for money and the club cut its spending drastically.
The flamboyant pseudo-giants of the past were all denied, the expensive car hire services, the free tickets for the players were all cancelled, and a pet fish was taken from the Ritzdale office, which would have cost £1o a week.
Secretly, clubs interested in Leeds United players are also actively approaching intermediaries or agents to negotiate the possibility of a deal.
However, it is known that Leeds United are in financial difficulties, unless it is a particularly sought-after player. Players who are not highly competitive will basically bid too high, or even lower than the normal value of the player.
It is a cruel society, especially in the face of fame and fortune. In the opinion of some buying clubs. They are willing to buy Leeds players to help Leeds United cut their wage bills.
They certainly won't be able to cope with the huge wage bill next season. If you can't get into the Champions League, you have to sell players.
Leeds United is like a dying tree, and at some point a strong wind will completely destroy it.
The turmoil at Leeds United has had a strong cross-action effect, with Bates actively looking for buyers. In order to make an immediate move against Chelsea, the future of many professional clubs in England has also been put in huge question marks due to the financial crisis of ITV broadcasters.
Fleet Street Sounds the Alarm: This Could Be a Bankruptcy Year!
This is of course a boo from Leeds United to gain eyeballs, but the fact is that there are a number of low-level clubs that have fallen into trouble and are likely to be in danger of liquidation at the end of the season.
Aldridge doesn't care what the outside world is doing, football is a necessity in England. One cannot go without eating, without drinking water, without sleeping, for the English. Even Europeans cannot live without football.
So the football circle is a polarized field, the gap between the rich and the poor is more obvious, the top clubs, as long as they have a wide fan base, are not afraid of no future, Florentino to build the Real Madrid brand, is also taking advantage of this.
There was a change in the atmosphere inside Millwall.
As Christmas passed, the players were a little relaxed, probably feeling that the league title was out of the way and that they should focus on the Champions League.
But in March, the attention was back to the league, and the reason was that they could set a new record!
According to Millwall's current record of 29 games, 25 wins and 4 draws, they have the opportunity to set a new record for English points and wins at the end of the season!
This will undoubtedly take Millwall's dynastic splendor to the next level!
Therefore, whether it is the main player or the substitute player, in the face of the league more serious than in the past two months, setting a record, can not be done at any time, and the league is a long-distance run, even if there is determination, it also needs strong perseverance, and it is rare to do it.
Boavista's return to Millwall's home stadium in the second stage of the Champions League group stage in midweek, and in the game at the Lion King Stadium, Aldridge sent all the substitutes on, and with goals from Klose and Villa, Millwall won the opponent 2:o without blood.
In the FA Cup round of 16, Millwall still sent substitutes to the bench, which was a test for them, but their fitness was completely fine, and Kaka played an iconic game after joining for most of the season.
A long-distance run with the ball, a long-range shot from outside the box and a clever pass for Lamor gave the assist gave Millwall a 3-1 win at Aston Villa to advance to the quarter-finals.
The reason why both the Champions Cup and the FA Cup are substituted is to give the main players more time to rest.
In the 3O round of the league, Alex Ferguson led the Red Devils Manchester United to London to challenge defending champions Millwall.
Rarely, before this game began, Arsene Wenger spoke.
'The highlight of this round is definitely Millwall's clash with Manchester United, who look like they don't have a chance of finishing runners-up again, but they will have to fight for every point if they don't want to play in next season's Champions League play-offs.
Arsene Wenger uttered these words as a spectator, completely infuriating Ferguson.
'He should keep his mouth shut, Manchester United have been above Arsenal in four of the last five years, Arsenal are leading now, but they certainly won't be able to win the league title.
Ferguson's anger is justified.
Arsene Wenger hopes United can snipe Millwall, who are now 14 points clear of Millwall in the standings, but still have title hopes.
But isn't what Wenger is looking forward to, what United want United to do, exactly what Ferguson has wanted Arsenal to do in the past?
Especially three years ago, Millwall beat Arsenal in seconds, allowing Manchester United's championship to fly at the last moment, and then relegated to the runner-up, Ferguson felt that everyone was qualified to stand up and let Manchester United snipe Millwall, but Arsenal people did not have this qualification!
Aldrich was depressed.
My team, my turf, my game, and I'm the favourite.
Damn, what are you two old men stealing the limelight?
