1131 Back to the top!
Highbury.
After years of financial constraints and frugality since the groundbreaking of the new stadium, the shortcomings have surfaced, and the decline in the team's overall competitiveness is evident.
If you compare Millwall with Arsenal, the gap between the two teams in the main 11 may not be too big in the past, and Arsenal still has the strength to fight despite being at a disadvantage.
But nowadays, the gap between the two teams is very obvious, even the difference in level.
Millwall's main squad may only be just a little short of reaching the peak of their strength.
But what about Arsenal?
Wenger is to give Xiaofa, Klich, Van Persie these players as the main force, let them play the role of provoking the pillars, but in terms of ability, they are still growing, there is still a long gap from the peak, plus the team's own limit potential value can not be compared with Millwall, so the gap in overall strength at this stage is clear at a glance.
Arsenal fans had a fun day in midweek in the Champions League and Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic, winning three in a row and just one win away from qualifying.
Comfort yourself with self-deception: The Lions also played the Champions League in midweek, and if they are consecutive guests, their strength will definitely fluctuate, and they lost in midweek, and their morale will be one or the other, and the Gunners will definitely have a chance at home!
But when it came to the game, the mental outlook and physical disadvantage made Arsenal extremely passive on the field, even if they had the advantage of being at home, and they seemed to have no chance.
Millwall's adjusted tactical play in the new season, as long as they are fit, the players are in good shape, and they almost suppress the opponent and dare not move.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Xiao Luo entered the middle from the left, and the speed of his feet was amazing, if you look at his movements consistently, it feels like he is dancing on the court.
He first dribbled away from Cesc Fabregas with ease, then twisted his body in front of Gilbert to confuse his opponent's body and then broke through, in front of the back line, Henry made a run to contain and cover, Ronaldo shook the ball sideways in front of Campbell, and volleyed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Highbury fell silent.
The Wild Lions fans collectively made a gesture of worship for Xiao Luo in the stands.
'Ronaldinho has been in excellent form since late September, he looks unstoppable on the pitch, no one can stop him, no one! He's scored a lot of goals like this, and as long as the opponent gives him enough space, then the Brazilian magician can show his magic dance moves. ”
As the number one star in the front court, Ronaldo is generally the first person in Millwall to blow the offensive horn first, he first has to play a threat, so that the opponent has to strengthen, and then strengthen the restriction on him, then, then, he is equivalent to making a containment for his teammates, creating more offensive space for his teammates.
In the 32nd minute, Ronaldo deftly passed the ball in a Marseille slalom on the left side, turned and pulled the ball directly to the side, and followed by Lahm on the side to stuff the ball straight to Henry in front.
Henry stopped the ball, dribbled horizontally, and in terms of tempo, neither Lauren nor Toure could keep up with Henry, and they always seemed to be a beat slower than their opponents, probably related to the fatigue accumulation of continuous battles.
Henry dribbled the ball horizontally to the middle of the penalty area and then suddenly changed to a straight line into the box, causing Gilberto to save completely and Toure lost his center of gravity.
Facing goalkeeper Lehmann, Henry calmly fired the ball low into the bottom left corner of the net to easily rewrite the scoreline.
Arsenal are two goals down at home!
Arsene Wenger spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines, looking very dissatisfied, but everyone thought it was strange and didn't know what he was complaining about.
It doesn't look like Arsenal's players have made low-level mistakes, or they can't resist the Lions' attacks at a glance.
Arsenal tried to speed up the pace and play at home, but before half-time Kaka ran long distances and completely destroyed the entire defence.
Kaka was selfless, and at the last moment, he passed the ball to Ronaldo, who started the anti-offside position, and handed it over to Ronaldo to complete the solo goal.
"3:o, Arsenal were defeated again at home by Millwall! If we are still condemning Millwall for their midweek Champions League defeat, then at least we should recognise Sir Hall's strategic intention to rest the main team and recharge their energy against Arsenal in the league, which seems to have worked very well, and in overall comparison, Millwall is only completely stronger than Arsenal in terms of fitness and form, let alone stronger than Arsenal's technical and tactical strength. ”
In the second half, Arsenal's situation did not change significantly.
Arsenal's league results have slipped significantly from the start this season, which is closely related to their results from last season and even last season.
Originally, last season people thought that Arsenal's fighting power would be greatly weakened, which is a normal view, because they have lost their main team, coupled with the strength of Millwall in the league, Chelsea's sudden rise, and the importance of Arsenal in England has declined.
In such a situation, Arsenal has achieved very good results, then, this season, everyone has mentioned the importance of Arsenal, after all, Arsenal has the impression of a traditional giant.
Under such tremendous pressure, Arsenal's league record has declined, which basically reflects their true strength, or is low, because there are too many young players, and after a bad start, the psychological pressure increases, and the sudden increase in the difficulty of the game is not expected, which further affects their swing.
What they need is steady growth, and it takes time.
It is undeniable that Van Persie is still only a small soldier, not a general, and the biggest obstacle to his progress at this stage is injury.
There is also Cesc Fabregas, who can only be said to be a relatively good young player at this time, just looking at the number of pitches, it is really not enough for people to see him as a core midfielder at the level of a giant, and he also needs more games to grow.
Arsenal, who are still immature in this period, are three goals behind at home, and in the second half they want to reverse the decline with their dare to fight and dare to play.
The experienced Millwall didn't give them any chance and chased the win, Aldridge has reservations in the Champions League, but he won't stay in the league!
He's going to put the most pressure on Chelsea!
The second half became an individual performance for Millwall's attacking players.
In the 57th minute, Kaka staged another long-distance run, he started with the ball from the middle and back, directly threw Fabregas away, Gilberto was also crushed by Kaka's explosive increase in the front, and finally, Kaka selflessly gave Henry an assist, and Henry dribbled past the attacking goalkeeper Lehmann and kicked the ball into the empty goal.
In the 73rd minute, Henry and Ronaldo switched positions, Schneider and Henry made a continuous smooth two-on-one cooperation on the right side, Schneider took the ball and cut inside and crossed the ball, Ronaldo grabbed the ball in front of the goal and scored twice.
Two minutes later, Ronaldo staged a dragon on the left flank when the opponent was completely defeated, cut inside and shot from a tight angle, Lehmann blocked the ball, but the follow-up Kaka shot to rewrite the score to 6:o!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Arsenal are being slaughtered at home by Millwall! There were 15 minutes left in the game, but the score had already become 6:o! Millwall is completely insane! ”
Arsene Wenger was late in his move-in.
His adjustment was to strengthen the defense and avoid being scored seventh, eighth!
Arsene Wenger sat in the dugout, looking bitter and helpless.
In the final analysis, Millwall's overall strength is much stronger than Arsenal!
At home, Arsenal do not want to be suppressed by their opponents, especially those young players, who always want to show themselves in such a game that attracts the attention of fans around the world, but the reality is extremely cruel, even cruel.
Just looking at the value of the player, maybe Millwall is at least twice as high as Arsenal!
This is the general hard power gap.
In terms of soft power, Millwall is definitely stronger than Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger's bitterness may stem more from the club's history.
Now Arsenal is desperate to move into the new stadium as soon as possible, get rid of the new stadium debt as soon as possible, and get the finances not only healthy but more profitable as soon as possible, so that they have the capital to enrich the squad.
Back then, Millwall was about three years ahead of Arsenal's new stadium plan, and these three years could be a world of difference!
Lower costs, earlier returns, and combined with the context of the Football Exhibition, the context of the times, Millwall's benefits are immeasurable.
At this time, looking back at Millwall's exhibition process at that time, the vast majority of people in the entire football world will admire Aldrich's wise decision at that time!
Under pressure to sell the main force to build the stadium, in exchange for a thousand years of prosperity!
Arsenal went from leading the way to three years behind Millwall in club building, and the three years behind before that could put them at least a decade behind the competition now and in the future!
Of course, football is not a place with absolute rules.
If Arsenal's equity distribution is not too complicated, maybe Abu will be able to drive to North London that year, in that case, what money is not money, it is a matter of not saving.
In the end, the London derby was frozen in a bloody o:6.
Arsenal suffered a heavy defeat at Highbury!
Aldridge did not shake Wenger's hand after the game, because as soon as the game was over, Wenger took off his coat and plunged into the tunnel of players, presumably avoiding the boos of the home fans.
In a post-match interview, Aldridge officially announced to the outside world: The best Millwall is back!
At the beginning of September, he said that Millwall was gradually adjusting and trying to move in the right direction, and by the end of October, this adjustment period was finally over, and Millwall was back in peak condition! r1152
