453 Friendship lasts forever
After Millwall's midfield substitutions, although it may have been a humiliation for Leeds, Millwall were about to call a halt with 45 minutes to go, and with 45 minutes to go, they took the initiative to rest the two main players as they had already taken a huge lead.
Whether young or unyielding, Smith recklessly tackled Makelele behind and spat on the applauding Aldridge when he was sent off, his actions angered all Millwall players.
The substitutes sitting on the bench, Ronaldo and Pirlo, who were substituted, and the members of the coaching staff, were no longer talking and laughing, and the 11 players on the pitch were even more cold.
Originally, they did want to slow down the pace and play, as long as they grasp the ball and defend well, this is enough for them to win, but now, they forgot about the score, 4:0, to hell, the game, it only starts now!
'Alan Smith paid the price for his uncool behaviour, a clear foul from behind that could result in a supplementary penalty after the game, and his nasty behaviour of spitting at Millwall manager Hall on the way off the pitch was bound to bring him more penalties and the FA would not tolerate it. O'Reilly made a substitution, replacing Duff with Mills, and now they play with five defenders and zero forwards. ”
Aldridge took off his suit and was picked up by Leeds United staff and walked to the away manager's seat, but as soon as he put it down, Klinsmann picked it up and threw it directly on the ground.
The staff had no choice but to pick up the suit again and bring it into the players' tunnel, no matter what. This can't be left so conspicuous on the grass. The audience who witnessed that process just had to see. It will be associated with the unethical behaviour of Smith's spitting, which will certainly have a negative impact on Leeds United.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his waist crossed and expressionless, and he didn't look at O'Reilly next door.
Claude Makelele was injured, Gattuso replaced, Millwall's three substitutions had been used up, Aldridge had no cards to play, and now Leeds United used a back five to prevent the goal from conceding, and there was no counter-attacking power at all.
It should have been collected. In the first half, they poured four opponents, and in the second half, Millwall couldn't fight with each other, the two teams were not at the same level at all, Millwall was also more pursuing than each other, they wanted to compete for the title, and at the same time they had to think about European competition, Aldridge had to maintain the fitness of the players, but also maintain their condition, try not to let them continue to explode on the pitch in the short term, which is easy to make the form decline in the next stage.
Leeds United just want to go toe-to-toe with Millwall. Holding the ethereal consciousness of the strong team, unwilling to be humiliated, but within the rules. The ability is limited, and outside the rules, lethal tactics are played.
This can't be tolerated, absolutely not!
It would be nice if Materazzi was on the pitch.
Aldridge thought so, not that he thought that having a villain like Materazzi on the pitch could give Leeds a little bit of color, but that he was thinking more about the tactical change.
Materazzi is on the field, he can directly rush to the forward line, Aldridge only needs to point to him, and then point to the front, Materazzi can immediately understand that his big tall man and header ability are the innate advantages of the pillar center, and he can not participate in defense.
Now Millwall controls the midfield and presses the attack at half-time, Leeds United have one less player but one more defender, and the defensive line is in turmoil, but they can rely on the numerical advantage to clear the siege frequently.
In the 60th minute of the game, Aldridge didn't care that the game was still going on, and shouted directly to the field: "Lucas! Lucas! ”
Neil and Southgate honestly stayed at the back of the centre circle, they were idle enough, even if the opponent played a counter-attack, it was often a clearance ball, they grabbed the high ball, and the ground pass was intercepted by Frank Lampard and Gattuso, and Leeds United could not organize an effective counter-attack at all.
Neil heard Aldrich's shouts, looked at the situation in front of him, and felt strange, the game was still in progress, and the leader suddenly called him, aren't you afraid that he will be distracted?
When he saw Aldrich waving at him, he jogged over.
Aldrich waited for him to come to him and began to give him detailed arrangements for the next tasks.
He put Neil on the front line as a fixed-point striker, whether it has a practical effect or not, but multiple people can interfere with the Leeds United back line and also provide Henry as a cover.
To put it bluntly, it's a-stirring stick
He certainly couldn't have possibly threatened the opposition goal with the same high post as Materazzi, but after listening to Aldridge's instructions and demands, he rushed forward and moved around Rio Ferdinand and Radebe.
This adjustment was considered by Fleet Street after the game to be another tactical adjustment by Aldrich.
Neil doesn't run deep up front, i.e. doesn't move forward, and when Millwall's attack hits the edge of the box, he doesn't care where his teammates are, his attention is just focused on the open space in the defensive area of Rio Ferdinand and Radbey, and then runs sideways to the open area.
As soon as he ran, Ferdinand and Radbey were going to be distracted, and although they wouldn't lose their positions easily, someone had to go with Neil, and who would? The midfielders, either Marc Bresciano, or Cahill, or Bowyer.
As a result, the barrier in front of the back line was loosened, and Aldridge's second adjustment after adjusting Neal paid off immediately.
Zambrotta, Schneider's position, pressed up, and Frank Lampard formed a long-range threat from three people from different angles outside the box.
Glen Charles cut inside on the left flank, shook past Kelly, got up in front of Mills and fired a long shot in front of Mills, the ball was blocked by Radebey, Lampard grabbed the second drop and nodded the ball to Zambrotta on the left, who also followed up with a long shot and hit Mills again, the ball bounced back to Glen Schal, he didn't get up again, chose to cross horizontally, and handed it to Schneider.
Two long-range shots in a row disrupted Leeds' defence, and they thought Schneider would shoot from distance as well, but the Germans looked at the empty space and plugged straight into the penalty area, Larsson successfully rolled the ball up in front of the baseline against offside, and Henry forced Radbey to flick his head in front of the goal. The ball flew between the hands of goalkeeper Martin and into the back of the net.
"Sixty-fourth minute. Millwall scored their fifth goal of the game. 0:5, this is already a bloodbathed score, and every minute will be tormented and tortured by Leeds United. ”
Henry turned and walked towards the backfield after scoring a goal, raised one hand and stretched out a slap and five fingers.
Aldridge raised his chin and looked unruly when he saw the goal.
Leeds United, you did this!
Four minutes later, Bowyer received a second yellow card of the game for consecutive fouls. Two yellows turn into one red, it's over!
"The referee has taken care of Leeds United, this is Bowyer's seventh foul of the game, he received a yellow card in the first half, just now he hit Lampard with his body when he couldn't get the ball at all, this is obviously a card maneuver, if the score is not 0:5, and Smith has been sent off, he should have received a second yellow card for the action of pushing down Glen Charles from behind, this time. The referee could no longer tolerate him, otherwise. I really don't know what kind of situation the game will turn to, with more than 20 minutes to go, Leeds United are down by five goals and have played two less. ”
O'Reilly was expressionless on the sidelines, replacing Colwill with Mateo and bringing on another defender.
6 Defenders!
Aldrich really wants to applaud each other this time, well done, O'Reilly!
The Arsenal legend is different, mixed with Graham, the blue is better than the blue, 6 defenders!
If you have the ability, you will bet on the goal with the human wall!
After the game, O'Reilly's two successive substitutions were considered the failure of the failures, and despite the numerical disadvantage, the addition of defenders created an even greater disaster.
Without a midfield interception, Millwall's long-range shots from outside the area were even more reckless.
In the last 20 minutes of the game, it was a nightmare for the Leeds United players.
Glen Shire, Neil, Thierry, Nedved, and Larsson were on the front line and were marked by six defenders.
Then, midfielders Cahill and Bresciano were played by Zambrotta, Lampard and Schneider!
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Millwall fired a series of shots from the perimeter, and the vast majority of long-range shots were blocked by the opposition's human flesh, and after the long-range shots were deflected, Leeds opened the door with a delay in time.
In the 81st minute, Frank Lampard's long-range shot deflected Leeds United again, and he tried five shots to get the back of the net.
Three minutes later, Nedved's long-range shot from the edge of the box was blocked, the ball fell into the box, and Larsson's pick-up deflected the goalkeeper into the back of the net.
In the last minute of the game, Neil met Schneider's cross at the back of goal and tipped the ball into the net with his knee.
When the time on the big screen flickered from 89:59 to 90:00, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and he chose to end the game regardless of whether the fourth official played stoppage time or not.
At the start of the second half, the Leeds United fans could still be heard singing in the stands, and after the 0:5 and Bowyer was off, the atmosphere at Elland Road became very eerie.
Dead!
Then, it turned into a burst of cheers, it was the fans from the Wild Lions, they were heathing, they were playing, they were enjoying, they were partying!
As soon as Millwall's players touch the ball, there will be cheers in the stands, even counting, one, two, three, four with Millwall's passes, the louder the counting, and this kind of counting sound like a wave, will always end in an uproar, that is Millwall's shot.
At the end of the game, Aldridge did not bother with the referee and did not make up time, he looked around the stands of Elland Road Stadium, a large number of stands, which had long been empty.
Aldridge loosened his tie and turned around with a grim expression and walked into the players' tunnel.
In the stadium box, Ritzdale's eyes were torn.
What did he witness in the last two hours?
What the?!
Massacre!
Slaughter!
Disgrace!
Yorkshire's White Roses, on this day, were ravaged by the lions from London, and the score of 0:8 will also be recorded in Leeds United club's record for a long time, in the Premier League record, unless they will suffer a bigger bloodbath, but that will definitely be another nightmare.

His shoulder was suddenly tapped lightly, and he looked up at the owner of the fat palm with a bloodless face, and was greeted by a middle-aged face that was quite joyful but disgusted to him at the moment.
The pot-bellied Arthur came to watch the game away today, sitting with Ritzdale.
He patted the other man on the shoulder as if to comfort him, and Ritzdale looked up at Arthur in a daze, only to see Arthur whistling as usual.
The melody of the whistle was familiar, and Ritzdale watched Arthur whistle and wave goodbye to him slowly.
Rietzdale clenched his fists as Arthur disappeared outside the box, his face full of hideousness.
Perhaps, the most exciting thing for him is that the melody that comes from Arthur's whistle is "Friendship Lasts Forever" (to be continued......
