The Young Lion

The situation on the court should still be dominated by Millwall, but the score was a draw. This will inevitably make the players think, why?

Continue to play in the middle? The effect just now seems to be average.

Ronaldinho frowned slightly, slightly confused.

He couldn't explain his confusion. He always felt that the rhythm seemed wrong and he had an advantage, but it was so subtle that he felt that doing so seemed to have little effect.

Henry was also a little confused, and replied softly: Maybe it's a little bad luck?

Millwall has more shots than Milan, but he didn't score the second goal. It may be bad luck. Football is a thing, don't use science to interpret it, it will make countless scientists die.

It doesn't feel like it. I always feel that the rhythm is wrong, wrong, and I can't tell what is wrong.

Ronaldinho's tone was a bit tangled, he turned his head and looked towards the sidelines, probably subconsciously making him start asking Aldridge for help.

Just at this moment, Aldrich gestured in the direction where he and Henry were.

Aldrich's hand gestures are numerous, but most of them are simple and clear.

Playing in the middle, wide, defending, scrambling, fast tempo, slow tempo, more inside cuts, more long shots and so on.

Over the years, the players have become accustomed to it, and no one will be confused.

Ronaldinho looked down after seeing the calm-looking Aldrich making a gesture, Henry also turned his head to look, and then turned his head and stepped on the ball and said to Ronaldinho: The boss told us to continue to attack inside, which means don't attack in the middle. Offensively.

Ronaldinho nodded and said: I seem to understand why the rhythm is not right, um, just like the boss asked. We continue to cut in from the side. This should be our main attack direction!

Aldridge, who was on the sidelines at this time, didn't know what Ronaldinho and Henry were talking about. He was just doing his job, reading the game from his own perspective and making adjustments on the spot.

But what Ronaldinho said was wrong rhythm, Aldridge could see the reason.

That is, Milan weakened the side defense and focused on the frontal defense in the middle!

Millwall's offense blossomed at multiple points and spread across the board, so their rhythm changes can also be said to be traceable.

After the goal, Millwall made several threats from the flanks, in the normal rhythm they were used to. Such threats will make opponents panic!

Then the opponent makes adjustments, which will definitely strengthen the protection of the side, thus exposing the lack of the center. This poor rhythm is precisely because the opponent strengthens the side and weakens the frontal defense of the center. Then Millwall will play the center again at the same time, completely letting the opponent collapse!

However, Milan did not make adjustments, and Millwall's pretend to be smart turned into trouble for himself, and he hit the iron plate specifically!

So Ronaldinho will feel something is wrong. Originally, it would be more threatening to turn to the center after the side attack made a threat, but it turned out to be easily resolved by the opponent. It seems that they have been doing useless work before and wasting their efforts in vain. Of course, this will make the players uncomfortable, as if they have ruined their advantages by themselves.

This is called being clever and being mistaken by cleverness!

If they were playing against an ordinary team, Millwall really wouldn’t think so much. Instead, they were playing against a top team like Milan, a team with strong adaptability and adaptability. The rhythm changes faster, and they have always used this method to overwhelm their opponents. I didn't expect Milan to respond to changes like a normal team.

After making adjustments, Aldridge shook his head secretly.

He also didn't expect Milan's defense to look like this today.

He would not lament that he thought too much. Millwall seeks changes and destroys opponents by changing the rhythm. This is the main method. It cannot be changed and must be persisted in the future.

It's just that he may have miscalculated Milan's defensive strength.

Overestimated each other!

The offensive side is constantly changing, so the defensive side, theoretically, must also constantly adapt.

However, Ancelotti probably has self-knowledge. If Milan reacts passively, constantly adjusts, the defensive system constantly complements each other, adjusts the defensive center of gravity, tilts the formation, etc., then Milan will definitely not be able to keep up with the rhythm of Millwall!

On the one hand, the defensive players are indeed older. The more passive they are, the more energy they will consume on the already disadvantaged players. They may have to surrender after 45 minutes and be unable to fight again.

On the other hand, the back players are also unstable, and this unstable point is Stam.

The 33-year-old Stam has experienced half a season of recuperation this season. After returning from injury, his state is unstable. In the battle with Juventus Tianwangshan, it is not a big mistake, but it is disappointing. It was his defeat in the confrontation with Trezeguet that allowed Trezeguet to score the only goal of the game, and Milan's title defense fell through!

Aldridge will also use this idea, but most of it will be used when training young players, because young players are not capable and experienced enough, and they want to keep up with the opponent's offensive rhythm in defense , Some strong people are difficult, in case of encountering a top opponent, he may make many, many mistakes in a game, because he will get lost in the endless changes of the opponent.

Like Silva, the task Aldridge gave him is very simple, don’t think about making up for other positions, just stay in your area, do your job well, keep improving, and wait for what you can do in your own area When you are impeccable, you can broaden your horizons and focus on a broader pattern.

This is a kind of thinking on the court that if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

Ancelotti never smiled after the equalizer.

The situation on the field is delicate.

Milan equalized the score, but Millwall will not make the same mistake a second time!

Therefore, when Milan still wants to switch from defense to offense and use the combination of No. 10 in the midfield to advance steadily, they are facing another picture.

Millwall's defense is very tight!

Kaka, Ronaldinho, and Villa, no matter whether they can successfully intercept or not, at least they will quickly return to the midfield. Even if they act as a wall and hinder Milan's shooting angle, they will relieve the pressure on the defense.

As a result, it is difficult for Milan to play an effective threat attack.

Ancelotti himself didn't notice that his face was flushed, probably caused by excessive nervousness.

Conceding the ball first is indeed a bit disadvantageous, but it is still within the acceptable range.

The score was equalized and the situation began to improve.

Even now that Millwall has not given Milan a good chance, it is within Ancelotti's expectations.

He is waiting, waiting for the situation to reshape.

Milan still has a backhand, and it is too whimsical to want to overthrow Millwall with a routine.

At the same time, Millwall launched a frenzied offensive on the side.

Alonso and Kaka threaded the needle in the middle. On the left, Ronaldinho and Lahm frequently changed positions, and on the right, Schneider assisted. Then roaming in a wide range, from time to time will replace Ronaldinho or Villa as a winger and pose a threat.

In the 34th minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball along the left side and cut inward, and knocked the ball back to the left of the top of the penalty area in front of Cafu. Pirlo was about to catch the ball, but Lahm took the ball forward. , Lahm smashed the ball with his right foot, and directly hit the goal with a long shot! It's a pity the ball went over the goal.

Two minutes later, Schneider dribbled the ball from the right and cut inside without passing the ball. When Kalazze got inside urgently, Schneider made a diagonal pass to Henry in the middle. Henry kicked the ball obliquely into the space on the right rib, Villa volleyed from a small angle after anti-offside, and Dida hugged the ball.

In the 39th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball in the middle. After encountering Gattuso, he passed the ball directly to the front right and handed it to Villa. Straight behind Sestam, Henry shot the ball away under the interference of Cafu's income inside.

Another minute later, Lahm made a large-scale offensive transfer in the backcourt. Schneider made a perfect stop on the right side of the wing, moved forward along the side, and made a large-scale offensive transfer after halftime. After stopping the ball on the other side, Kaka cut into the middle, and Kaka went in straight. Henry passed the ball to Villa, who used the outside of his foot to lift the ball into the penalty area. Kaka volleyed the goal before Maldini, but Maldini Tini blocked it with his body!

Seeing that Millwall's offensive is like a wave, one wave is higher than the other.

Ancelotti was a little uneasy.

He could see that Millwall had reacted, and instead of changing the center of attack frequently, he always attacked Milan's two ribs.

That's where their defense is weakest, but they can't deliberately fill it.

Fill it with what?

Pulling and mobilizing the whole body, this chain reaction is absolutely unbearable for Milan.

Now maybe I can only pray for luck!

However, Milan is under heavy pressure and cannot shape the game situation. Ancelotti understands that unless he is lucky and scores an unexpected goal, Milan will have to rely on the second half if they want to create another threatening offensive.

Millwall's furious attack for more than 10 minutes still did not receive a goal. It seemed that their luck was really bad.

That's not Millwall's full attacking prowess, though.

They are good at hiding the point of attack, good at hiding the real killer.

All previous attacks were a foreshadowing.

They use teamwork to create opportunities and rarely threaten individual breakthroughs in the area.

In the opponent's defensive habits, it is also easy to cause the opponent's paralysis.

It is similar to Milan's strategy of scoring an equalizer at Millwall.

In the 43rd minute, seeing that the first half was coming to an end, if there were no accidents, Milan would completely defend in the last two minutes.

However, the deadly attack that Millwall is really about to launch comes at this point in time. It may be that when the ball is restarted, Ronaldinho and Henry, the core of the offensive end, have such a tacit understanding. (to be continued...)
