1108 Luck of the Golden Decade
Thanks to the "sexy maniac" for the tip! ――
Millwall's retirement ceremony for Gareth Southgate was a feast for the stars, with stars in the side.
At the intermission, the band "The-Darkness", which won the three heavyweight awards of Best British Rock Group, Best British Band and Best British Album at the 2004 British Music Awards, known as the "British Grammy", appeared in the middle of the green field of the Lion King Stadium and performed on the stage that was built, arousing the passion of the fans and making the feast more colorful.
After the half-time break, the second half was about to begin, but a voice rang out at the scene.
"Aldrich!"
"Aldrich!"
"Aldrich!"
The crowd was calling for Aldridge to continue playing, which made Aldridge a little embarrassed and felt like he was stealing the limelight from Southgate.
Southgate invited Aldridge to continue playing, which was not in Aldridge's plan, but seeing that the crowd was so enthusiastic and wanted to continue to appreciate his skills, it was better to be respectful.
In the first half, he was against Southgate, and in the second half, Aldridge intended to be team-mates with Southgate.
So he began to show his domineering demeanor again, and said to Villa, who was about to play: "David, let me play for 20 minutes, you are a substitute." ”
Villa smiled and walked towards the sidelines, just then Ronaldo and De Rossi jumped out. One left and one right stopped Aldridge who was about to walk into the field. He shouted at Villa in the arena, "Don't listen to him! He's a pit! Can't let him play as a striker! Absolutely not! ”
Aldrich turned his head to look. Shouted: "I scored!" I scored as a striker! ”
"It's a penalty, a penalty that anyone can score!"
"Shall I play in midfield, then?"
"No way!"
"Defender, partner Gareth, okay?"
"Do you want to trap him?"
"That"
"You go as a goalkeeper!"
Aldrich's eyes widened, and for a moment he didn't retort.
Goalkeeper?
That's a position that my friends don't want to play when playing as an amateur activity!
De Rossi's mention received a wide response, and Aldrich was forced to appear again, but. But he stood in front of the goal line and acted as a goalkeeper!
In the second half, Southgate's friends had a luxurious line-up, with Southgate, Ramos, Materazzi, Zambrotta in the back, and Vieira, Pedreti, Pire, and Glenschal in the midfield. Up front were Villa and Ruud van Nistelrooy, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the bench. Tony et al.
The opponents, the England Stars, are mostly former national team teammates or current national team members.
Aldrich felt a little empty.
There is Owen on the opposite side, as well as long-range heavy gunners Gerrard and Lampard from outside the penalty area, and Scholes's feet are not soft!
Goalkeeper, really standing in this position, why is it a sad feeling like a live target?
Truth be told, in the goalkeeper position, Aldridge is difficult to be a ball bully on the pitch because he can't get away from the small area in front of the goal line.
So he started playing another role: the leader of the defense!
Whenever the opponent attacked past half the court, Aldridge immediately pointed in a certain direction and shouted loudly to command his teammates.
It's just that what he shouted was a little scary.
"Marco, stop him! He can't come here, or he's going to shoot! I may not be able to hold on! ”
Materazzi heard such a voice behind him, and he was so angry that he couldn't smoke in his eyes!
Is there a goalkeeper like you?
Maybe you can't hold it?
You can't be so cowardly!
Originally, the England star team opposite was just walking through the motions to play a relaxed and happy game, but after they came on the field, they found that Aldridge was on the opposite side of the goal, and they were immediately interested.
Scholes first tested Aldrich with a hanging door, and Aldrich was so shocked that Aldrich almost threw up his hand in surrender.
The hanging door missed, but Aldrich almost hit the post while moving!
Aldridge was in tears, and Scholes was a little try.
Then Xiaobei, this bastard, is really a poor dagger!
In the 54th minute, Xiaobei made a tricky and weird arc ball to the goal, and Aldridge flew to save after moving his position, and the action was really perfect! It was perfect!
It's a shame that the goal went in!
Moreover, Aldridge pounced in the wrong direction!
I don't know if the goalkeeper doesn't know, I feel like I'm going to be deceived by my own eyes.
In fact, the speed of Xiaobei's curve ball is not fast, but the arc is too big, and it is an external rotation, non-internal rotation, contrary to the flight trajectory of the ordinary Bei's arc, Aldridge is directly handed over the hole cards, panicked to save, and halfway to the pounce, he found that the ball flew to the other side of his body.
Lost the goal, Aldridge was in a bad mood!
So he commanded his teammates to strengthen the defense even more "angrily"!
Materazzi's violent temper, if it weren't for the goalkeeper Aldridge and someone else, he would have been unable to stand it.
He rolled his eyes and simply explained to Southgate, and as a result, the back line on this side changed.
Aldrich was stunned to find that he seemed to be abandoned!
The guards are all rushing up and attacking!
Lo and behold, Materazzi rushed up front and Southgate was at the back of the halfway line, at least 40 yards from goal.
Aldridge burst into tears and wanted to shout at them: the score is a draw, 3:3, we don't need to press the whole army to attack! There's no need!
It's too dangerous!
We will be beaten back!
You can't underestimate the other party's Owen!
That's a boy chasing the wind, you old guys can't catch up with him!
However, such a rush really has a miraculous effect.
Materazzi caused chaos in the box and Ruud van Nistelrooy seized the opportunity to find the back of the net.
At 4:3, he regained the lead.
Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was ahead. It's time for the defenders to pull back. Outcome. When he-mom restarted, the defenders were almost all in the midfielders' positions!
Aldrich, the bare-bones commander, is too sad in the eyes of the audience!
In the first half, he pitted his teammates, and in the second half, it became his teammates who pit him!
Sure enough, in the 63rd minute of the game, Neville made a long pass in the backfield, and Owen successfully countered offside and went to the meeting alone!
Southgate and Materazzi just chased two steps. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he gave up as a matter of course, which was equivalent to completely abandoning Aldrich.
And when Owen came alone, Aldridge made the audience laugh.
"Wow, oh, Owen single-handedly! Southgate's Friends goalkeeper Aldrich Hall, who swayed up and down with his arms outstretched in front of goal, as if dancing a weird dance! Oh, he must have wanted to interfere with Owen's shot, but, at this time. He should have been more calm and walked out of the door when the time was right. Expand the defensive area, narrow the angle of Owen's shot, but he does a weird dance on the goal line! ”
Aldrich's scalp is numb, he is very serious, and he wants to "mislead" Owen by swaying from side to side, and he is definitely not deliberately "dancing".
Not to mention, this "misleading" is quite effective, Owen was startled by Aldrich's actions when he habitually observed the goalkeeper's position, or almost laughed, so he went on a big trip!
Aldridge saw the opportunity and rushed out, Owen rushed to shoot, and the ball hit Aldridge's arms directly!
"Wow! Sir Hall successfully blocked Owen's one-on-one shot! It's incredible! His weird dancing worked! ”
After the successful save, Aldridge raised his eyebrows and raised his head, with the demeanor of a top goalkeeper.
Next, in order to allow the team to launch a fast attack, he ran to the edge of the penalty area and threw the ball with his hands!
The thrown ball stunned the teammates!
He wanted to throw the ball to the middle of the midfield, but he overestimated his arm strength, the ball fell in the area where the defender was, and it was in the middle of the two defenders, Gerrard ran forward, stopped the ball directly with his chest, and another one-on-one!
Materazzi touched his head, didn't understand the ball, did the head do it on purpose?
Did he deliberately give his opponent a one-on-one shot?
Southgate crouched directly on the ground and looked down and laughed.
Aldridge was really dumbfounded, damn, he threw the ball directly to the opponent!
As soon as his mind was hot, he rushed straight at Gerrard, who dribbled sideways and shook the angle and gently pushed the empty goal.
Aldrich sat on the ground and looked helpless, and spread his hands to his teammates, probably to express: If you don't come back to answer, you are 99% responsible for my mistakes!
After conceding that goal, Aldridge was going to go down.
He kept raising his hands to thank the crowd as he walked off the pitch, while pointing at Gareth Southgate as he walked to the sideline.
Today's Southgate retirement game, most of the spectators came to the stadium with regrets, but they found that as time went by, it was not at all what they thought, and here they also gained unforgettable and precious memories, at least they made one thing clear: Aldridge did not take charge of Millwall and went on to play on his own.
After leaving the field, he sat on the bench for a while, Aldridge sat with Ferguson, who laughed and laughed at him.
"Your skills are really eye-opening, and the way you do on the pitch."
"Alex, what do you know? As someone who has no talent for football, it's a dream to be able to command a group of stars on the pitch and make them work for you. ”
Ferguson put away his smile and shook his head slightly, probably lamenting that Aldridge was different from what ordinary people thought.
Looking inside the pitch, Ferguson sighed: "You're so lucky. ”
Aldrich knew what he was talking about, and nodded in a trance: "yes, I'm lucky." ”
Millwall has had Nedved on the pitch and Southgate in the dressing room off the pitch for the past eleven years, and Millwall's golden decade at the top level is not just based on athletic ability.
Ferguson sighed, probably related to his own situation, Manchester United's spiritual leader is Keane, however, Keane is on the field, no one can question his mental role, but off the field, in the locker room, Keane, who has entered the late stage of his career, has become a big mouth, blaming his teammates, from private, to become public.
This is not a good sign and gives the coach a headache. (To be continued......)
