1129 Paradoxical game atmosphere
Alan Pardew, who coached five years later than Aldridge, has ambition and passion, but is by no means a fool who talks gibberish when his brain is hot.
How strong Millwall is, the world knows for all to see.
But he thinks that West Ham United can have an advantage in a specific confrontation, and he wants West Ham United to play high against Millwall in this game, maybe they will beat the master to death?
However, after Haywood and Ashton were violated in quick succession after the opening period, the two were a bit of a stumbling havoc on the siege of the city, which inevitably caused Alain Pardew to die before his tactical plan could be implemented.
A predecessor is a predecessor, not to mention that this predecessor is a great grandmaster who has been worshiped by countless people in the entire football world.
Aldridge defeated the Lion King Stadium in a way that Alain Pardew couldn't understand at first.
Millwall poured four goals into West Ham United at the Lion King Stadium.
Of the four goals, two were long-range shots and two were follow-up shots.
And the two supplementary goals, both from long-range shots!
West Ham United dared to play with a double striker, and the back line had to be put into the box and put up a dense defence.
They waited for Millwall to come and play with the embroidery needle in front of them, but Millwall's attack was always from outside the box to make the final blow, a long-range shot!
Boom, boom, the ball slammed into the West Ham United goal from all angles from afar.
Ronaldo hit a world wave from the left side of the penalty area that flew into the top right corner of the goal.
Alonso hit a frontal shot in the middle of the pitch that was blocked by Kaka and rolled into the back of the net.
There is no solution to these two long-range shots!
De Rossi's long-range shot created chaos in the box, and Ronaldo scored from the spot.
Ronaldo and Schneider shot from beyond the perimeter and Henry caught a chance to make up for it and scored with ease.
Millwall sang a triumphant song at home.
Towards the end of the game. Alain Pardu's eyes were blank. Millwall fans cheering in the stands. It was as if he was singing to him an unpredictable word: Who is messing with the punch?
Looks like Millwall is playing with luck!
But he-mom can score four goals, how much luck does this have to be against the genius?
In a professional battle retaliation analysis published on Fleet Street the next day, Times columnist David Miller used the phrase "clever way to win" to describe Millwall's tactical use of the game.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Alan Pardew was trying to use his muscles to form a wall in the box to block Millwall's goal.
Millwall do have European games behind them, and although the points behind Chelsea in the standings have not changed, Chelsea have been winning, playing one game less, and invisibly, Chelsea is extending their lead!
So Millwall can't fight hard. It cannot be over-depleted, minimizing the probability of combat attrition.
As a result, Aldridge used an unreasonable way to "crush" West Ham United.
Long shot, in fact, is only an auxiliary method, not the ultimate means!
In terms of the ability to catch fighters in the penalty area, Millwall's striker has a very high profile, and when dealing with unexpected situations, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kaka in the back. Xiao Luo, who is wandering outside the penalty area, is definitely stronger than his opponent!
So. If you shoot from a distance, as long as you create chaos, when fighting for the second reaction, Millwall's invisible advantage is to crush the opponent!
Therefore, David Miller believes that Ronaldo's goal belongs to the genius play, and there is no solution!
Alonso's long-range shot was luck, and if Kaka hadn't touched the ball, he wouldn't have scored.
And Henry and Ronaldo's follow-up shots are the result of Millwall's tactical use.
When teammates shoot from a distance, observing the movement of Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry, it is clear that they are trying to find and grasp the opportunities after the "chaos"!
After the combination, De Rossi and Silva repeatedly used fouls to deter Ashton and Haywood, turning the two fierce players who helped West Ham United attack the city into docile cats.
David Miller thinks Aldridge has taught Pardew a lesson that should be memorable.
This is also where Millwall is now terrifying, opening and closing to fight with each other, thick and thin, so that the opponent can neither guess nor see through.
Winning the east London derby didn't make Aldridge any happier.
Because Chelsea swept Bolton Wanderers 5-1 at home!
Chelsea are going against the odds!
The start of the new season is 9 wins in a row!
Millwall are third in the table, two points behind Manchester United, but still nine points behind Chelsea!
After the league game, Aldridge led the team to Italy, preparing to challenge Inter Milan in Meazza.
Because in the last Champions League game, Inter Milan fans threw fireworks to guide the game in half, so UEFA ruled that Inter Milan was not allowed to enter the three games of the Champions League group stage, which is equivalent to weakening a big home advantage.
Inter Milan has been turbulent in the past few years, and the record is slightly unstable, Moratti will not be able to hold his breath and change the coach, but this change of coach will only create greater hidden dangers, probably because he figured out that frequent changes of coaches is not a long-term solution, or really surrender to reality, the current coach Mancini since he took office, according to the previous standards, he should be unstable, but Moratti gave him extraordinary trust.
Aldridge is not very excited about the upcoming clash with Manich, who at this stage is more focused on the league.
Mancini, on the other hand, takes this pinnacle battle for Inter Milan very seriously!
In the face of Aldridge, Mancini had to say very low-key: in the field of coaching, he is still far from Aldridge, but he firmly believes that Inter Milan will not surrender to Millwall!
The city of Milan did not get a good rest, and the avid Inter fans made noise outside their hotel all night long, even if Millwall brought in the police.
In this Champions League group stage, Aldridge naturally still has to rotate and let the substitutes come on for the game.
A game that was normal in Aldridge's eyes.
It has nothing to do with life and death, and the strength of the opponent cannot make Aldrich have a strong desire to fight.
But when he walked into the pitch after his dressing room routine, he sensed the paradox of the atmosphere.
Probably because he really focused his energy on the league. Aldrich didn't take seriously a message that the world had already told him before the game.
this game. The stands are basically empty!
UEFA sentenced Inter Milan to play behind closed doors at home!
But. To say that there is no audience, that is impossible.
First of all, the broadcaster must be on the scene, the media reported on the spot, and there were also a lot of reporters who entered the stadium to watch the game, but reporters are reporters, and they will not shout and cheer for anyone in the stands, and they belong to bystanders.
There are also a small number of spectators, who belong to special channels and have obtained the qualification to enter the game.
Inter Milan can't sell tickets to fans.
Millwall was the fish in the pond. Their fans can't come to the away stadium to cheer on the team!
So, the rest of the channels include the official sponsors of UEFA, they have tickets, and the sponsors want to give these tickets to whomever they want, that is the freedom of the sponsors.
But after all, that's only a small part, compared to tens of thousands of capacity of the stadium, less than a thousand people come in, it's really not much different from no one.
As the players of both teams lined up to enter the field, Aldridge slapped his head in front of the coach's box and lamented to himself.
Came to Italy. He also called Moratti so that his baby daughter could come to the stadium to watch the game.
It's not. In the VIP box, Moratti warmly welcomed Evan and Bonnie, and sat them in the box as guests.
Now, Aldridge is feeling uncomfortable on the sidelines.
When it comes to closing the stands, Millwall has also witnessed it, for example, Leeds United was punished by UEFA for racial discrimination in the past, but when the penalty was honored, Leeds United's opponent was not Millwall.
And no matter where Millwall plays, no matter how many fans there are on the opposing team, Millwall has a large number of loyal fans who go with the team.
When playing on the pitch, they will feel the atmosphere in the stadium and will intuitively see, hear, and hear the presence of fans in the stands.
Today, for the first time, it is unprecedented.
I came all the way from London to Milan and came to an empty stadium to play a quiet game!
Not adapting, not adapting at all.
Millwall are a big-spec team, and the bigger the spectacle, the more they enjoy it, or rather, as Millwall's players, they yearn for the big-spec rather than the small stage that no one cares about.
Today's game environment is like giving the Millwall players sleeping pills, and they can't get excited at all!
Larsson and Nedved, in particular, are not in good form either.
On the FIFA match day at the beginning of the month, both teams representing the national team will have to play a life-and-death battle in the World Cup qualifiers, and the energy invested can be imagined.
It's true that they didn't play in the first round of the league when they returned to the team, but today they are visiting to play, and the journey is also a load on them, plus there were Inter fans harassing them outside the hotel last night, and today it seems that they are here to play an inconsequential training match.
All these factors led to Millwall's surprisingly poor form in the game!
Inter Milan are certainly not used to not having the home fans cheering them on.
However, they have played a round of home European competitions, and they adapted to it in the last game, and today they are mentally prepared.
The players played much better than Millwall, and Millwall did not show their full strength, and the players were sleepwalking on the field, Aldridge immediately adjusted his tactics after noticing the problem with the atmosphere of the game.
However, this adjustment proved to be a failure.
Millwall's formation is disjointed, the whole team is not in a unified rhythm, and those who are really coaches will understand that directing the game on the sidelines and changing the team's formation and play, even if a player's position moves, is not as easy as imagined, because a change is often a chain reaction, involving the whole body, and requires the tacit coordination of the whole team.
Obviously, Millwall, who was not excited today, was in poor form, and the whole team could not reach a high level of tacit understanding, and Aldrich's on-the-spot adjustments made them confused. (To be continued......)
