The Young Lion

The stadium is very quiet, only Liverpool fans can make a little sound.

Crazy Lions fans don’t seem to be used to this scene on the court, and the numbers on the scoreboard seem to be messy.

Especially at home!

Aldridge stood up for the second time and walked to the sidelines, then made a fierce look at the players, without any tactical adjustment instructions, he simply hit his left palm with his right fist.

The first goal conceded, the responsibility is the head coach, there is a problem with Aldridge's tactical arrangements, he self-corrected.

The second goal is lost, the responsibility is neither the head coach, nor hard to blame the players.

Because Liverpool created chaos due to the positioning ball attack, the second attack only seized the opportunity. It is difficult to blame the player for such a lost ball. After all, the front defense was once held. In the case of crowds, the flashlight flickered in an instant. It's normal to miss people.

But Aldridge was still angry. The reason why he was angry was that Millwall seemed to be a little slack in spirit today.

Playing a game feels slow, and probably thinks that after 90 minutes, they will get a natural victory.

Who is the opponent?

Liverpool.

They couldn't find North Liverpool!

Aldrich’s action is very simple, which is to make the players cheer up and devote themselves to bring the rhythm of the game together.

It stands to reason that Liverpool attacked today with a 442 formation, focusing on the middle, and there was almost no side attack. Millwall should use this as a breakthrough and suppress opponents through crazy side attacks.

However, because of the slackness of the fighting spirit, there was no suppression, but instead Liverpool caught the opportunity to position the ball.

Aldridge doesn’t blame the ball, but why Millwall didn’t create more scoring opportunities!

The combination of offensive and defensive means that defense or offense simply does not make sense.

Does Millwall rely on offensive to suppress opponents in order to make the defense relatively improved; otherwise, offensive is offensive, defensive is of defense, playing football?

Players on the field saw Aldridge's expression and body movements, they all understood: the boss is not happy!

They are even more upset.

To be honest, Liverpool scored a goal in the opening, everyone felt that this game should be easily won in a familiar rhythm.

Liverpool scored two goals in a row, reversing the score, as if to give Millwall a head shot.

They looked at the Liverpool players who were celebrating opposite. They had different ideas in their hearts, which was roughly a kind of arrogant anger.

Grass, is the Red Army going to revolt?

Millwall does not have the inherent glory and superiority, but has a strong record of the strong man who is proud. They are not born to be the strongest, but they are fighting hard to fight today's football status, income, influence, Praise and honor are all made by oneself. Because of this, this kind of arrogance is more firm, unlike some players who have hypocritical arrogance just because they are born in a rich family.

Aldrich didn't go back to the coach seat to sit down, but kept waving his arms to signal the player to attack, and his body movements were accelerating the game.

Phil Thompson saw that Liverpool could lead Millwall on the road and scored two goals, which is awesome. Not everyone can score at this stadium, let alone score two, let alone lead Mill. Wall is up.

It was like a stimulant injected into his body and shocked him.

He also constantly encouraged the team through words and deeds, and devoted himself to combat command.

Liverpool took the lead and began to play a little conservatively, specifically seizing the opportunity to fight back.

However, their lineups have congenital deficiencies. Once again, the situation was once again on the table. They placed two forwards, and the midfield defense seemed to be unable to resist, especially when Millwall's two full-backs assisted.

In the 36th minute, Ronaldinho missed a great opportunity to break the goal. He inserted the ribs in front of the free, Nedved cooperated with Henry, Henry took the ball and slid the ribs free. Ronaldinho rushed and rushed After Carragher lost, Hypia couldn't help defending for the first time. He faced the goal except that the angle was not too good, and there was no interference at all, but Ronaldinho shot the ball on the stands.

Aldridge applauded the attack, encouraging players to make persistent efforts.

The game rhythm was raised to a very fast level by Millwall, and then stabilized at this rhythm. The offensive coordination was smooth and tacit, and the player's running position changed unpredictably. Even if Liverpool was conservative, they were tired of running on the defensive line.

Before the end of the first half, Zambrotta tried a long shot outside the penalty area. The ball hit Henchoz and popped. Pirlo followed up with another long shot. This long shot was very tricky. Now Pirlo 'S long shot has been tempered to a very intuitive threat, Dudek made a wonderful save, fell to the goal line and blocked the ball with his hand.

But the angle he blocked was not too good, the ball bounced, Larson seized the opportunity, rushed over when the ball popped, and then jumped high without waiting for the ball to hit the point, using the top of his head when the ball began to fall , The ball folds into the far corner of the goal.

After scoring, Larson rushed over to pick up the ball and ran back.

"Milwall equalized the score before the end of the first half! The goal scorer was Larson, er, count carefully, Larson's goals this year also reached 37 goals, Millwall's striker The firepower is too strong, and Henry Galarson alone can dedicate more than 80 goals annually. 2:2, Millwall put the game back on their way, but only scored one at home A tie is definitely unacceptable to them."

Despite the equalization of the score and Milwall’s backward momentum, Aldridge still walked into the player’s channel without expression. The referee did not make stoppages. Liverpool kicked off the attack and the time came to the 46th minute. Halftime.

In the locker room, Aldridge waited for the players. After all the players came in and closed the door, Aldridge said with a deep voice: "Maybe you haven’t pursued, maybe your honor is enough, maybe you, grass, I don’t care about you What the **** is thinking, five years ago, three years ago, two years ago, I will not say anything to you, 99% of us will get the league championship this season, but if you lose the game today, then The probability of losing 1% will rise to 30%. Why? It is not a change in the standings, but a change in your mentality. This is football. This is a competitive sport described as a battlefield. It is far more than you think. To be cruel, no team is afraid of losing. The most feared thing is to lose the tireless pursuit of victory. Even if you win 10 goals, you still have to pursue the determination to continue to expand the victory! Some people think that it is enough, it should be stopped, good Yes, tell me, I will send you to the most comfortable club for retirement, even if some of you are still young, but now that you have reached the mentality of retirement, go for retirement! Millwall, no players without ambition !"

As soon as the words fell, Aldridge stepped out of the locker room.

There was a silence in the locker room.

Some players can't understand Aldridge's anger, even if his expression does not look angry, but what he said is the performance of Thunder's anger.

For example, Bout, who is a goalkeeper, stands in the penalty area for 45 minutes. What problem can he see?

The players sitting on the bench can't see it either. They have a different level of thinking than the head coach.

Millwall's first-half talk of how bad it was is definitely absurd.

But as a coach, if you really want to solve the problem when the team's performance plummets, then everything is too late!

The reason is to prevent the situation from happening, and to get things back on track when problems arise.

To put it bluntly, Aldridge is only a verbal warning, and has not made any substantive actions, but he really wants to take action, rather than saying it with his mouth, then things cannot be undone, and some players will be sentenced to capital punishment. .

Southgate sat in a chair in front of his closet. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for me to get the Golden Globe Award in my life. Although there were two nominations, I got 8 votes together. I I can’t get the Golden Boots, I can’t get the best player in the league, all I can get is the medal at the end of the season when the team won the championship, every piece, I put it in the collection room in my house, I want to retire I can get more from time to time. This is my honor and my career. In fact, I don’t understand who the chief is talking about, maybe it’s talking about me, maybe who is among you.”

Some people talked, the atmosphere was finally better, and it was the captain, not the coach. Everyone's mentality was at least stable.

Southgate continued: "I trust the boss and trust him blindly. I think every word he said is correct. There is no other reason, because he can make my career more than I dreamed. Great and more brilliant, I think it is my luck, to be his player, to work with him is a kind of luck, because there are many better players than me, so I blindly trust him. Since he just said that, first , I think it’s right. Some of us are mentally slacked off, relaxed, and the desire to win has decreased. I don’t know who it is, and I don’t want to know it, but if one day, I can be like the boss. I felt this for a while, then guys, I’m sorry, I can’t be in the same room with that teammate, I can’t talk to him, I can’t trust him, I can’t fight with him anymore, because he blocked my way, It’s the enemy of my career. It’s that simple. As the first captain under my leadership, I have been a seven-year captain. If I can, I want to continue to work for another seven years, but I’m 31 years old. Such a tradition, no, I hope that I can leave it to Millwall. In addition to contributing my own strength, there is also a tradition created as a captain, that is, the spirit of mad lion, the spirit of always pursuing victory, not because How many championships we get, or change without championships, this is what I want to leave to Millwall. If anyone thinks differently from me, then we are no longer brothers."

Southgate’s words have resonated with many players, among them Nedved and Larson are the most deeply touched. The three of them are the oldest main players on the team, and only Palyuka than them on the bench. Older, and in fact, Palyuka's sense of belonging to Millwall is not strong. Even though he has achieved glory here, it is only a career achievement, which does not mean that he can be regarded as a home.

Nedved patted Southgate's shoulder, Southgate stood up, looked around all his teammates, and found that the other people's expressions were solemn, with respect and firmness in their eyes.

He whispered: "We never blame each other, we are crazy lions, crazy lions united together, we are strong, we are the strongest in the world! To prove this, only on the field, I believe you, please also You believe me, we will show the fighting spirit that the mad lion should have and continue the mad lion dynasty, always!"

Southgate closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Milwall!"

All the players in the locker room roared with unyielding expression: "Chong Chong Chong!"

"Milwall!"

"Chong Chong Chong!"

"Milwall!!!"

"Chong! Chong! Chong!"
