The Young Lion

Capello can naturally see the characteristics of Millwall's offensive tactics today.

Millwall is obviously going to blow up Juventus's wing!

On the right side, Schneider and Ronaldo are used as a front and rear combination. The speed is shocking and the technique is also passed.

It looks like Ram and Ronaldinho on the left side, but it's not, it's a combination of Ram and Henry!

When Millwall blows up the wing, whether the winger cuts inside or the full-back cuts into the penalty area, they will directly face Juventus' central defenders. Then, Kaka and Ronaldinho, who are ambushing behind the striker, will Become a hidden point of attack!

Although Juventus is very conservative under the leadership of Capello, they are still not in the position of the bus, but with their conservative style, it is difficult for most teams in Serie A to shake their defense. However, it is Milwaukee Come on, their defense is not very difficult, but the entire defensive system is crumbling!

After experiencing several waves of dangerous situations in the Juventus penalty area, the experienced Bianconeri also roughly figured out Millwall's offensive routines.

It's like a pendulum attack, with one wave on the left and one wave on the right, alternating in order to give the full-backs a breathing space.

Whether it is Ram or Schneider, of course it is impossible to go up and down endlessly. In terms of rhythm, it is a wave of attack from the left, and then quickly switch to the right to attack again. The full-back who does not attack can get a breather , After waiting for Juventus to play another offense, they will almost be able to recover and make a new sprint forward.

On the other hand, there are not many surprises in Juventus' offensive routines, which makes it difficult to put pressure on Millwall's defense, and as time goes by. The more successful defenses are accumulated. Defensive player confidence grows. The confidence blow of the offensive side will be a trend of ebb and flow.

Millwall focused on wing attacks, attacking Juventus' defenses wave after wave, and the pace was so fast that they couldn't slow down at all!

This is where Millwall's offense is strong. In terms of parts, whether Henry, Ronaldinho, or Ronaldo. Their explosiveness in a small area is amazing. It is difficult for one-on-one opponents to limit them. And behind them, there are players like Lahm, Schneider, and Kaka who can also bring impact. It is no exaggeration to say that if Juventus' goalkeeper Buffon hadn't performed well today, Millwall might have Just scored, 23 minutes into the first half. Millwall created 10 shots, Juventus don't seem to be playing in the same rhythm as Millwall. They are always slow.... .”

Before the commentator finished speaking, Millwall once again launched a wave of threatening offensive.

After Henry pulled the sideline, he immediately started to explode at the moment of receiving the ball.

Using the acceleration to get rid of Zebina laterally, and then waving the ball straight into the penalty area, Thuram had to come up to block Henry's progress, but Henry passed the ball to Ronaldinho who was ambushing behind him, and Ronaldinho dribbled the ball past Emer After Sen, the situation became very clear. Ronaldinho ran towards the penalty area with the ball, and Cannavaro had to move in front of Ronaldinho to block him.

Ronaldinho suddenly controlled the ball and stopped in place for an instant. It was this stop, and then he flicked his ankle and made a pass. He can be called a master, calm and very confusing.

Cannavaro was also confused by Ronaldinho's rhythm, his body speed just slowed down, after Ronaldinho passed the ball, the galloping Kaka had already strode into the penalty area, Cannavaro was embarrassed and directly rushed by Kaka over!

And the ball is passed behind Cannavaro.

At this time, Buffon attacked, and his choice was very correct. If he didn't come out, Kaka's shot angle would be very large!

However, at the moment Kaka touched the ball, he made a choice that made Buffon desperate!

Kaka gently pushed the ball to the far left corner of the goal, avoiding Buffon's blockade, but it seemed impossible to roll into the goal, but the force was very light, ensuring that when Henry arrived on horseback The ball will not go out of the baseline!

Thuram is old, and Henry's explosive power cannot be resisted by him. When Henry outflanked in place, Thuram was already behind Henry. In the case of a small angle, Henry pushed the ball in with the arch of his foot safely. In goal!

The Lion King Stadium is like a flash flood, full of noise!

That was a cheer for Henry, and a cheer for the wild lion!

Millwall scored a goal! Henry, who returned from injury in the middle and late season of the season, became more and more brave. Today he scored again! This is a golden goal. Millwall leads Juventus 1:0 on aggregate. Now he just needs to make sure the defense doesn't concede a goal and they'll be in the final in Istanbul!

After Henry scored the goal, he ran backwards to the sidelines, smiled at his teammates, pointed to Kaka, and praised his assist.

The Juventus generals realized at this time: They finally have a chance to take a breath!

Buffon looked at Millwall weakly. Millwall had confronted Juventus before, but he hadn't come to Juventus at that time. He had been listening to the European media preaching how powerful Millwall was all these years. I still don't quite believe it, especially after the first round of the match, I always feel that Millwall is not worthy of the name.

But today, after only 25 minutes of the game, he felt extremely heavy pressure. Millwall drove the rhythm of the game like a torrent, making Juventus out of touch on both offensive and defensive ends, and immediately the defensive end failed to withstand the heavy pressure , and finally announced the fall of the city gate.

If he hadn't been guarding the goal and replaced him with another goalkeeper, Juventus might have fallen behind by at least two goals. Millwall's offensive was not only powerful, but also penetrated so that the defensive side felt powerless and couldn't resist it at all.

Capello still has that expressionless look, perhaps in his heart, the situation of the game has not yet reached a critical moment.

Because if Juventus can score a goal and equalize the score, then Juventus is actually ahead of Millwall.

1:0.

It's just a relatively passive score, but it hasn't reached the score to declare death.

After all, unless there is a penalty shootout, if Juventus wants to advance, they have to score away goals in 90 minutes or 120 minutes of the game. Now, it is just 120 minutes of the game. shortened to 90 minutes.

Aldridge gestured to the players from the sidelines. Meaning let them not relax. Don't think that you can sit back and relax if you are ahead, and continue to put pressure on the opponent!

And now after taking the lead, Millwall's offense should be more threatening, and it is easier to create a threatening offensive.

Because Juventus completely cut off the idea of ​​keeping a penalty kick, they must attack and score!

After the re-kick-off, Millwall's posture on the court did not change at all. Still firmly investing in offense every time he holds the ball!

Compared with usual they would use pass control to shape the situation of the game, today they omitted this link, completely attacking aggressively!

If Juventus were not a conservative team, they could have fought an earth-shattering confrontation with Millwall, because Millwall took the initiative to give them such an opportunity, but Juventus did not seize it Chances are, perhaps, the impact of a season under Capello's coaching has made their footballing thinking. Defense is paramount, and attacking is like stepping into the penalty area.

Millwall, who completely dominated the game with offense, looked like a crazy lion. Juventus, on the other hand, remained unchanged in its conservativeness, as if accepting that its fate was dying.

This game was beyond our expectations. We thought it would be a pinnacle battle with sparks flying everywhere, but Juventus seemed to have no power to fight back. Martin, what do you think caused it? The lineup of the two teams Is there a huge difference in strength?

It's hard to say that the Juventus team is much worse than Millwall. They have Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, Del Piero, Cannavaro, Buffon and other top players, In terms of overall strength, Millwall at home is definitely stronger, but it is not enough to make the game what it is now. Juventus can only defend, as if they don't know how to attack at all, they can't grasp the rhythm, and they don't attack. The point of acceleration, I think the tactical arrangement between Capello and Sir Hall is at work, Capello is paying the price for his conservatism, Sir Hall is taking risks, but his risk is successful, Millwall It’s not that there is no chance for Juventus to attack. When Lahm and Schneider both hit the Juventus penalty area, the audience can see that in Millwall’s backcourt defense, there is an area of ​​defense that is very weak. , But what? Do more Juventus players dare to step up and participate in the attack? No! They watched Del Piero being double-teamed by Alonso and De Rossi and could not connect the attack. Ibra on the front line How could Chimovic and Trezeguet perform without support?

Hehe, this reminds me of a saying that the best Trezeguet is Trezeguet at Millwall, and the best Ashley Cole is also Ashley Cole at Millwall. From a certain point of view, this may be to highlight the special role of players in a tactical system, as well as the ability of the head coach to know people and activate players.

This is for sure. The same player, used by coaches with different football philosophies, naturally cannot have the same ability on the field. Just like the German bilateral defenders in Millwall's current team, their performance in the German national team is the same. It is obviously not as good as in Millwall. On the one hand, it is the team's tactical system, and on the other hand, it is the head coach's way of using the players. Look, just as he was talking, Lahm made an assist again. Sir Hall used the player's flexibility and technique The ability is used to the extreme.

Just after 40 minutes in the first half, Lahm dribbled the ball forward on the wing. After halftime, he passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Moranesi turned the ball in front of Emerson to get rid of the opponent's press. When he came to the forward line, he passed the ball to Henry, and then quickly ran inside and cut to the left rib of the penalty area.

Juventus players thought that Henry would give Ronaldinho a through ball, so that Ronaldinho would be able to reverse offside, so Thuram and Zebina retreated to block the space on the left side of the penalty area, and Cannavaro stepped forward Don’t give Henry a chance to turn around.

At this time, Juventus' defense line was retreating, but Henry passed the ball back to the area behind Ronaldinho.

There, Lahm, who came up with an assist, appeared unexpectedly, which surprised the defensive players of Juventus. Lahm stopped the ball, observed the situation in the penalty area, and then passed the ball directly to the penalty area without any interference!

The ball soared into the air, spinning with a brilliant arc.

Everyone in the Juventus defense line, no one expected that Lahm passed the ball not to Ronaldinho or Henry, but to the right side of the penalty area, where there was originally no man's land. The space behind the defender and the central defender, after Cannavaro stepped up, the space became more open.

There was a figure wearing a wild lion shirt, rushed here when the ball fell, and jumped high, before the opponent's defense harassed him, he jumped up and planned to head the ball. It seemed that his height from the ground, It seems to be flying!

Cristiano Ronaldo! (To be continued..)
