After years of fatigue, Owen has become extremely fragile when he is in the prime of a player's age, not only the frequency of injuries has begun to increase, but even the body itself has a tendency to decline, and in the second half of the game, his explosiveness has decreased significantly, which is why Aldridge dared to remove a central defender.

With Millwall stacking four attacking players up front, Liverpool's backline will inevitably drop deeper and put in more defensive force.

However, Millwall's forwards did not directly enter the box to take their positions, but instead roamed around the perimeter of the box, creating a numerical advantage outside the box, and then attacking with a sudden forward at a certain point.

After Villa came on the field, he conveyed the coaching staff's on-the-spot arrangements to his teammates, especially Thierry Henry and Ronaldo in the front line.

When the Liverpool back line involuntarily pressed out in the 83rd minute to reduce Millwall's dominance of possession in front of their box, Millwall suddenly launched a wave of deep attacks.

Xiao Luo directly crossed the top and plugged behind the defender on the left side, Carragher and Hyypia originally stared at Henry and Villa, because Henry and Villa did not start forward, they did not start the outbreak at the first time, but Hamann on the back waist line failed to withstand the impact of Nedved's forward insertion!

Under the guise of the whole forward line, Millwall's final attacking focus is actually spread out by the forward midfield, and it is a striking forward midfielder, which requires Nedved to be completely fine.

Benitez's face suddenly changed dramatically, and he looked a little gloomy, hiding his inner worry.

Nedved after inserting into the box. There are two defenders behind him. There is a goalkeeper in front of him who has abandoned the goal. Instead of stopping the ball or shooting, he headed the ball straight to the right and forward!

The focus of the audience's attention shifted, they saw Ronaldo who was diagonally inserted into the penalty area to stab the ball in the direction of the goal before Reese, and a group of Liverpool people, including the goalkeeper, chased the goal inside, some slid tackles, and some goalkeepers flew to try to hook the ball off the goal line, but. It's late!

Cristiano Ronaldo was taken to the ground by Reeser when he completed the stabbing shot, his eyes were focused on the direction of the goal, until he saw the ball roll into the goal, he got up from the ground with an excited smile, pointed at Nedved, and the two hooked each other's necks and ran frantically towards the corner flag area to celebrate!

"Ronaldinho is on the offensive! Nedved assists! Cristiano Ronaldo scores! Maybe this ball will kill the game, and there is not much time left in the game, Liverpool, reversed! ”

The familiar cheering sound at the Lion King Stadium is deafening!

In the stands, the fans celebrated passionately and almost frantically. Aldridge called back all the players who were warming up on the sidelines.

With a stern face, he assigned the game tasks to the players who were going to be replaced again.

The score, reversed and overtaken.

But the game isn't over yet.

He's going to end up.

Millwall didn't drag out the game either. The substitution was made directly before Liverpool restarted.

The last two substitutions.

Henry down, Larson up.

Xiao Luo down, Glen Charles up.

In the new attacking and defensive formation, De Rossila returned to play at the back, Nedved and Alonso played as a double midfielder, Cristiano Ronaldo and Glen Charles were in the winger position, and Larsson and Villa were in front of the middle.

Benitez still has an unchanging face and a heartbeat, but Liverpool is fighting back with all his might under his simple gestures.

1 point, it is guaranteed.

And not the ultimate pursuit.

Liverpool also made two substitutions to re-strengthen their attack.

But with little time left, their mentality has changed a lot from before.

Glen Schal is fit, and Millwall's attack is focused on from his side.

On the horizon of stoppage time, the game was literally killed!

Glen Charles dribbled the ball on the left side and cut inside the middle, and after completing a one-two with Villa, he sent a through ball to Larsson, who calmly pushed the ball into the corner of the goal to set the score at 3:1!

Looking at the results, many would have thought that Millwall would not be difficult to win, but Aldridge and Benitez, the two managers who shook hands after the game, knew in their hearts that the game was a thrilling game.

Benitez also doesn't have much of a frustration in his feelings.

In fact, when it comes to pure coaching ability, Aldridge can't say that he is definitely a few streets away from his peers, which is absolutely nonsense.

Because the comprehensive combat effectiveness of a team takes time to accumulate, form, run-in, form, mature, and sublimate, which also includes the constraints of the players' personal ability and potential, there are too many uncertain factors, and then count the thickness of the bench and so on.

Millwall won, Aldridge's team for more than a decade, overall stability and team centripetal force are important basic factors for them to be able to stand on the competitive European football scene and achieve outstanding results.

After the first game of the Devil's schedule, the gap between Millwall and Chelsea has not changed, and Chelsea are still three points behind Millwall!

Three days later, Millwall swung north to Highbury.

In view of the fact that Arsenal has three main players from last season left before this season, the outside world is not optimistic about Arsenal this season, forwards, midfielders, defenders, and each of the three lines has a main player leaving, which is absolutely nerve-wracking for the team, but Wenger with his excellent ability to cultivate talents makes Arsenal not only not compete for fourth place in the league in the new season as expected by the outside world, but stabilized the top four places early, as for not being able to compete for the championship, it is understandable, Millwall and Chelsea are simply perverted teams, It's so hard to compete with them.

The three rookies cultivated by Wenger are Klich, Fabregas and Van Persie.

Arsenal has no hope of winning the league title and the Champions League is out.

But their season has a goal to pursue: the FA Cup!

Three days after this league game, there will be the FA Cup semi-finals.

The semi-finals are all played at a neutral venue.

Arsene Wenger naturally has FA Cup ambitions, and the trophy is hugely important for motivating young players.

So in the Highbury game, Arsene Wenger sent half of the main team and half of the substitutes. Don't dare to give up completely. But he didn't dare to fight hard with Millwall, who needed to grab points to maintain the leader's advantage!

Highbury. Be booked up.

Arsenal fans were extremely upset in the stands.

Arsene Wenger sent a half-squad of substitutes, and despite the FA Cup semi-final in three days' time, the fans will naturally be very unhappy with the final squad against Millwall, who snatched the league title from Arsenal at the last minute last season.

Arsene Wenger kept frowning on the sidelines.

He didn't understand Aldrich anymore.

Three days later, everyone had the FA Cup final.

Even though Millwall needed three points, they didn't even rest for a main man!

Is this about giving up the rhythm of the FA Cup front?

For Aldrich, it is not an absolute renunciation.

on the football field. Tian Ji horse racing's strategy of arranging troops does not necessarily work.

First of all, Aldridge is not sure whether Wenger will stay, and secondly, if the balance of power is used to play the devil's schedule, the players are in good shape, and maybe all fronts will be triumphant.

But if you are in a bad state, but you take the initiative to average your strength, then maybe it will collapse across the board!

There is no shortage of teams in history that have had a chance to win the treble, and in the end, the big four are empty.

So Millwall was as elite as they were in this game, and as for the FA Cup semi-finals, he intends to bring on the substitutes. Even if it's the semi-finals, even if it's about to face Manchester United.

Aldrich has to think about. After the FA Cup semi-finals, there are still three tough matches!

Manchester United at home, Juventus away to Turin and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

These three races will be completed in 8 days.

Therefore, the main force must rest.

The league has lasted too long, and you can't lose the league if you lose anything!

Compared with the difficulty of playing the main team of Liverpool at home, Millwall passed Liverpool to get rid of the negative impact of the loss to Manchester City, and Arsenal, a mixed lineup of the main team and substitutes, could not withstand even the first half at home!

"Arsene Wenger's line-up for this game will be controversial after the game, the first half was scored by Millwall three goals, the game lost suspense, although there is an FA Cup semi-final three days later, however, Arsenal's home stadium was destroyed by Millwall, this is absolutely intolerable to the home team fans, this situation is not impossible, but to divide the situation, if the whole Arsenal team struggles, and finally regrettably defeated Millwall, the accusation from the fans may be much smaller, but now, today's scene, It's more like Arsenal in Highbury, voluntarily capitulating to Millwall! You know, in Arsenal's latest fan survey, more than 50% of fans said they hated Millwall more than they hated Tottenham! ”

Arsene Wenger wants to catalyze Fabregas's growth, and today he hopes that Fabregas will experience the big scene and control the scene, but the young Fabregas disappeared directly in the midfield and lost to Alonso in the confrontation, and the offensive and defensive ends were very sluggish.

As he walked down the tunnel at half-time, Aldridge looked as usual with his hands in his pockets, while Arsene Wenger looked bitter.

He thinks that either Aldridge is crazy, thinking that 7 days in a row against Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, can still get very good results, this is not the beginning of the season, now it has come to the end of the season, the team's physical fitness is almost exhausted, for Millwall, who is fighting on multiple fronts, it must also reach the stage where players need to grit their teeth and persevere.

Arsene Wenger knew he had guessed wrong.

Considering Millwall's schedule, how could Millwall not take a rest?

It's just that he thinks Aldridge will be very greedy and wants to play the FA Cup final with the main force, and will send a weaker squad in the league of Highbury, which backfires!

Rather than the embarrassment of falling behind, Arsene Wenger paid more attention to protecting the confidence of his young players, and immediately replaced Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie in the second half to defend with all his might.

Aldrich was calm on the surface, but he was very happy inside.

Thanks to Arsene Wenger, Wenger had to fight for the FA Cup, the second game of the Devil's schedule, there was no earth-shattering battle expected by the outside world, and Millwall won 4-0 without blood, returning home from Highbury. (To be continued......)
