683 Respect
Thanks to the rewards of "Thief Death", "Seven Jiro Ah Lang in One Night", "Liu Feng" and "Qingqing Little Wolf"! ββ
Anfield's singing at half-time was a touching sight.
"With Heskey's goal, Liverpool equalized in the 45th minute of the game, and now the score is 1:1, maybe many Liverpool fans are now more concerned about the situation of coach Houllier being sent to the hospital for treatment, but the Liverpool players who are on the field want to give their manager a victory, this is the spirit of Liverpool, the manager is battling the disease, and their players are also tenacious against the strongest team in European football!"
Aldridge went to smoke a cigarette first, and both he and his colleagues in the coaching staff, Klinsmann and Jensen were also at rock bottom.
Suddenly saw a manager who was critically ill and was born in front of him, instead of learning about it through the news, that scene made people speechless, and even a little depressed in their hearts.
Why, in addition to the worry and care of being a normal person, there are other feelings lingering in my heart.
Klinsmann, Jensen, Boas, Barb and others, like Aldridge, leaned against the wall in the corner of the tunnel and smoked a cigarette, so silent and the atmosphere was very depressing.
It seems that the game is no longer important.
Aldrich suddenly showed a wry smile with a complicated expression.
It's a mockery.
The famous words of Xiang Shuai that have been misinterpreted by the world: Football is higher than life and death!
When someone really hovers on the brink of life and death, who dares to say that football must come first?
Klinsmann was perhaps the first person to be able to sort out his feelings.
He has been a player and knows that it is not easy to be a player, and the career of a player is short, but throughout his career, there is a demon that lingers, and that is injuries, which you can't predict and can't prepare for in advance. Perhaps one day he will be injured on the field, and then anxiously waiting for the judgment of fate, YanzhΓ²ng's injury will make the player say goodbye to the professional arena, and even more cruelly, it may be life-threatening.
Even after retirement, some old injuries may still leave a root that will accompany them for a lifetime.
The so-called illness is like a thread. No matter how strong a person is, he will have a fear of disease after all.
Houllier suddenly had a heart attack, and this scene was like a player suddenly suffering a serious injury on the field, the worry and fear, even as a bystander. It is also very susceptible to infection.
Aldridge smoked a cigarette and walked to the locker room, where the other coaches followed him one by one.
Everyone's mind is not on football, and because of Millwall's long-term success, constantly winning, accumulating a huge advantage, it seems. In a situation like today's, winning or losing is insignificant.
Such thoughts also spread among Millwall's players.
In the dressing room, the players were talking in whispers about Houllier.
Southgate, captain of the team, did not know how to speak to his team-mates in the face of today's unprecedented situation.
The score was a draw and the team came to Anfield with the intention of winning.
But now in this situation, mobilize momentum and clamore to overturn Liverpool. It seems to be slightly cruel emotionally.
When Aldridge walked in, the players kept their mouths shut, staring at each other, wondering if the manager would be furious at the goal they conceded in the final moments of the first half.
Obviously, in the 1o minutes at the end of the first half, the whole Millwall team was a little distracted, and Aldridge wouldn't be on fire? No. He just doesn't get vexatious.
Aldrich found a place to sit down, leaned down slightly, crossed his fingers with his hands, lowered his head and whispered: "What happened in the first half." You have seen it with your own eyes, and I don't need to say more, Gilad Hollier is my friend, I feel sorry for him, I am worried, and I pray for him in my heart, he is a good man, a respectable elder. β
Aldrich respectfully called Houllier an elder, which was normal, after all, Houllier was over half a hundred years old.
The players nodded, and someone tried to comfort Aldridge, but Aldridge took the lead and continued.
"Today we played Liverpool, although there was an accident on the sidelines, but my requirements for you will not change, I never said that we have to beat a certain opponent, win a certain game, my criterion for the team is whether you work hard to play and play at the level you deserve. The goal conceded in the final period of the first half was not the level you should have, Gareth was easily broken through by Owen, Marco also lost Hesky, you have an unshirkable responsibility for conceding the goal, the midfielder's interception is not effective, the striker's return defense is sluggish, I know the reason, everyone is distracted, and at the same time, moved by compassion. β
Rowe scratched his head, Larsson closed his eyes and sighed silently, Nedved frowned, and Southgate and Materra sank together
Aldrich basically hits the nail on the head of most of them.
Millwall is the strongest, the king of the best!
Victory seems to be easy for them, and the championship is like a treasure trove.
But for Liverpool, perhaps a win over Millwall, especially a win, is a luxury, and even a draw is precious.
What is ordinary in Millwall's eyes is different in the eyes of others.
What is this?
It's probably like "the mercy of the strong".
Aldridge lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I also had such a situation just now, I don't want to chase Liverpool and kill them all, loosen up, let them go, give them a decent draw, and in the context of Houllier's unpredictable fortune and fortune in the hospital, shaking hands and making peace may make the situation look better." This idea was rejected by me after not long of existence. β
As soon as the words fell, the players looked at each other, and they all looked at Aldridge again, only to see him raise his head with a solemn face, and said: "If, if we turn the situation with Liverpool, I am in the hospital, Millwall's strength is not superior, but in the end the game is Millwall with a good result when the opponent releases water, when I wake up, when I go back to watch the game footage, what will I think?" What kind of feelings? I imagined it, and then, I thought I would be humiliated, and I woke up with a strong will, only to see that my team was pitiful to the opponent and had a good result. That's the manager's shame, I can't help the team win on my own, but I have to rely on my tragedy to get the opponent's mercy and sympathy, so that the team can benefit. β
The whole team fell into deep thought.
Aldrich stood up, his voice sonorous.
"I'm not talking about winning or losing here, it's not about the result of a game, it's about the most basic principles on the football field. That is: respect! Yes, we have compassion, we have compassion, we have compassion, we have a soft part of our hearts that will be touched, but we can go to the game with such affection. Is it right not to show our strength? We thought we were sympathetic, we were pitying, we were symbolically giving Liverpool some support, but in fact, we were belittling Liverpool and belittling them. Liverpool don't need mercy. They have a strong will, they have a strong spirit, they are the Red Army! How would you feel if, one day, in the midst of tragedy, your opponent showed a sympathetic look on his face and fought with pity in his eyes? Will you be happy that you have won over your opponent? Will it? β
These words were loud and clear.
The players all shook their heads subconsciously.
That can make people feel guilty.
What does it mean to respect your opponent?
It is to attach importance to the opponent and show your due strength. Simply compete, hearty competition!
Care and help, sympathy or pity, should be on the sidelines, not on the field.
Otherwise, after the Munich air disaster, Manchester United should be sent directly to the Champions League throne. After the air crash in Turin, Turin should not be counterattacked by Juventus.
Millwall are a civilized team under Aldridge, with a style of play that is not brutal and players who are on the pitch do not compromise the principle of fairness. Therefore, in today's scene, they will not cause a strong hostile atmosphere between the two teams on the field, if it is like a crazy gang of play, even if it is really normal, the rough style of play is likely to be magnified after the game and condemned out of the scope of football.
The players' expressions became serious, and the distractions in their minds were forgotten, and Aldridge walked to the tactical board and began to arrange the tactical play for the second half.
He's serious, he's focused, and no matter what the end result of the game is, that's the only way he's going to pay tribute to Houllier now.
It's not about falling into a trap or taking advantage of the fire, it's about the competitive nature of football itself.
Millwall deserve to show respect for Liverpool.
Liverpool are special for Millwall.
Millwall's first FA Cup title was snatched from Liverpool, while England's first away win came at Anfield.
It can be said that Millwall stepped on the corpse of Liverpool to make a name for himself in England and enter Europe.
At the start of the second half, Aldridge was still sitting in the coach's box, looking solemn.
"Liverpool are likely to build on the momentum of the end of the first half in the second half, and from the very beginning of the second half, they showed a very brave momentum and played the Red Army majesty that Anfield deserves!"
The Liverpool players are more than normal in their excitement, extremely aggressive, brave and fearless, like a pack of wolves.
At this point, Millwall, even though they have high ball skills, still have to avoid their edges.
Aldridge rarely chooses to go head-to-head, preferring to win by trick unless he has to.
Liverpool played like crazy, Millwall's formation contracted and retreated, and it looked like they were being suppressed by Liverpool.
However, in the 64th minute, Schneider made a long pass in the backfield, and after Larsson successfully countered offside, he was a long-distance run to go to the meeting, facing Dudek who attacked, Larsson failed to control the ball in the last step, and the shooting angle was affected, he was not reluctant, he chose to cross the middle, and Klose, who followed up, easily pushed the empty goal, and Millwall led the score again.
Klose didn't celebrate after the goal and turned around with Larsson and walked towards the backfield.
The atmosphere at Anfield was unaffected by the scoreline, with "You Never Walk Alone" reverberating.
Liverpool fell behind in the score, and this time it was directly pressed.
Their assistant coach has no other way to direct from the sidelines, it is basically a mentally stimulating type of command, just let the players rush.
In the 71st minute, Nedved scored on a counterattack, and in the 77th minute, Ronaldo assisted Nedved to score twice.
1:4
The three goals scored by Millwall in the second half were all one way, seizing the gap after Liverpool actively fought for the defensive line to press, and quickly transferred the ball to counterattack, which was very targeted.
Aldridge made substitutions when he was three goals ahead, every two minutes, and he was a drain on the will of the Liverpool players, allowing the game to cool down the opponent's mentality in the constant pauses.
However, Liverpool's players persevered, and in the 92nd minute, Hamann scored Liverpool's second goal of the game, and the game ended after this goal.
2:4
Millwall claimed their 10th league win of the new season as Liverpool finished 12 points off the table.
