The Young Lion

In the stands of the Love Song Stadium, which can only accommodate 30,000 spectators, the fans of the home team were very surprised by the trend of today's game.

Before the game, it was expected that Millwall, the crazy lion, would give Villarreal a stormy attack, but after the game really started, the fans found that Millwall's sharpness was far less than they expected sharp!

It can even be said that Millwall made the game depressing and boring.

With the heavy troops hoarded in the midfield, including the premise of the position of the full-backs to support, Millwall has created an interlocking vertical and horizontal triangle transmission system in the midfield.

Ram, Alonso, Nedved, Ramos, Kaka, Glenshire, Ronaldo.

These 7 people passed the pass and run in the area, so that the opponent could not touch the ball at all!

But Villarreal can't let it go, they still have to run back and forth to make an active defense.

After shaping the game situation through pass control, Millwall ensured that his defense was stable. The opponent retreated in a wide range due to offensive players. Even if there was an offensive opportunity, it was impossible for Millwall to suffer a fatal blow suddenly.

But Millwall's skillful pass control knocked on the opponent's door in the 21st minute of the first half.

Ram suddenly attacked the frontcourt from the wing, and leaned directly to the center. When Senna focused on marking Kaka, the little Ram completed a deadly through kick two meters away from Kaka!

Ronaldo cut into the penalty area on the other side. He had no room for anti-offside, but after touching the ball in a small area, he and Villa almost faced each other and made a two-for-one cooperation. Villa knocked the ball back to Ronaldo. The old captain Alvarez slowed down. Decreased explosiveness. After moving the center of gravity. Ronaldo's forward drive made him unstoppable at all. When he turned around, he could only witness Ronaldo pushing the ball from a small angle into the goal!

Pellegrini showed bitterness on the sidelines. Perhaps the deep meaning of this game can only be understood by the parties involved as the coach.

Millwall didn't go for the win hard the way they do best.

Instead, it suppressed Villarreal in a way that La Liga teams should be best at!

why?

It may not be that Aldridge is targeting Pellegrini viciously to humiliate him.

In fact, this way of playing can greatly increase the probability of winning, not to mention. This is also a very effective way to suppress Villarreal.

At the heart of the Yellow Submarine is Riquelme.

Aldridge is no stranger to him, and he has accumulated enough experience dealing with players like him.

Millwall's compression of midfield space is actually aimed at Riquelme.

In Villarreal's tactical system, Riquelme's possession of the ball is very important. This classical master can give the team breathing space through possession of the ball, allowing the team to have more space when switching from defense to offense. Sufficient time to move, spread out all points of offense, plus he also has a pass that often flashes. His threat is not low, but how high is it? Not necessarily.

Since the classical midfielder will disappear, it means that there is less and less room for survival in the contemporary era. It is not just that the new generation of players does not have such talent or talent. It is conceivable that when the new generation of players receive training, almost no coach will let them They went to play like Riquelme.

The pace is too slow!

There is no advantage in speed. In the increasingly fierce confrontation rhythm, most coaches also need the midfielder to contribute to the defense!

Since Riquelme will not be used as a template to train a new generation of players, it seems logical that there will be no second Riquelme, or even if it does appear, it will disappear from everyone and will not be taken seriously in the future.

Corresponding to this game, Millwall is stronger, but Millwall's big-name players can put up a low profile to defend desperately. When Riquelme touches the ball, there are at least two players who double-team him. Kaka The club would harass him immediately, but what was Riquelme doing when Millwall passed the ball in midfield? After a symbolic run of two steps, the target passed the ball away, and he slowed down, as if waiting for his teammates to successfully steal the ball, and then he concentrated on organizing the attack.

Villarreal tried to level the score in the first half, and they pressed the whole army in the final period, but Millwall intercepted their pass in the middle of the field, Nedved came up, and then the ball Give it to Glenshire on the left.

The most mature part of Millwall is reflected in the fact that the players know when to pass the ball and when to display their personal abilities on the court!

During this period, Aldridge kneaded the team and almost reached the pinnacle.

Before Villarreal had a solid defense, with four defenders and three midfielders, there was almost no room for breakthrough.

After they pressed forward, a breakthrough space appeared, and Glenshire stopped passing the ball in a satisfactory manner. Instead, he directly used acceleration to blow up Venta on the side, and after breaking through the bottom, he turned to the inside line and kicked high. A high-quality half-high pass was delivered, and Villa grabbed a header in the middle and scored!

At the end of the 45th minute of the first half, Millwall led the home team 2-0 at the Love Song Stadium, stepping into the threshold of the Champions League semi-finals with one foot.

In the second half, Pellegrini simply sat on the bench and remained motionless.

With a blank face, he seemed helpless to the situation, and was completely lost in temper by his opponent.

The bitterness in his heart may even be understood by the audience.

The strength of the player team is not as good as that of Millwall, and the overall technical and tactical strength in the game is not as good as that of the opponent. It is reasonable to be beaten at home.

Millwall changed their offensive approach at 70 minutes in the second half and began to use high-altitude bombing!

This is very uncomfortable for Villarreal. They seem to be quite afraid of guarding against the British rush.

Nedved, Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa, and Millwall frequently kicked the ball from the wing to create chaos in the opponent's penalty area. Kaka looked for a second attack from the outside Finally, in the 78th minute, Ronaldo's header was blocked, and Nedved followed up with a supplementary shot to expand the score to 3:0.

At the end of the game, the Yellow Submarine fans at the Love Song Stadium left sadly.

Millwall has almost locked in the Champions League semi-finals, continuing their strong performance in the Champions League.

A week later, Aldridge sent some substitutes at home. Beat Yellow Submarine 1-0 at Lion King Stadium. The Champions League quarter-finals double-killed Villarreal to advance to the Champions League semi-finals!

After the Champions League semi-finals are released. All England cheer!

Premier League prosperity.

Three of the top four come from the Premier League!

Millwall, Chelsea, Arsenal, Milan.

Seeing this result, Aldrich suddenly felt that something was strange.

Millwall blocked Chelsea last season, but this season Millwall helped Chelsea get rid of Barcelona in the top 8. Chelsea's road to promotion is quite smooth, but I don't know if they can pass Milan in the semi-finals.

As for Millwall. The London Civil War of the Champions League will be staged with Arsenal!

Wenger really collapsed, and finally made a breakthrough in the Champions League, and it was absolutely unexpected by everyone!

Arsenal's situation in the league this season is precarious.

Once a very stable Champions League place, this season, after Liverpool returned to the Premier League's first group, Arsenal's Champions League place seems to be taken away by Liverpool!

In the standings, Arsenal are more than 10 points behind Liverpool in fourth place!

When the league can be said to have entered the final stage, Arsenal will focus all their energy on the Champions League.

What if they win the championship?

Can't you continue to participate in the Champions League next season as the defending champion?

However, among the three opponents in the semi-finals, Arsenal had no idea who they would meet, but when they met Millwall, who made them despair, Wenger really wanted to cry.

Everyone also understands. It sounds fair to say that the two rounds against Millwall are at each other's home courts.

But Wenger would rather have a neutral game to decide the outcome. In that case, there will be more accidental factors, and the trend of the game will be even more uncontrollable. What about now? Play one game each, at least 180 minutes of the game, relatively speaking, Millwall's chances of winning are actually higher!

Before Millwall and Arsenal meet in the Champions League, the two teams will have another game in the league!

On the eve of the Champions League semi-final, Millwall sat at the Lion King Stadium and ushered in the challenge of Arsenal.

Arsenal's line-up drew jeers from Fleet Street.

They sent a full bench!

Wenger's wishful thinking is to consume Millwall as much as possible!

But this is already the 35th round of the league, and Millwall's lead over Chelsea has expanded to 9 points. Although Chelsea win this round, if Millwall can beat Arsenal, it will almost declare that they have successfully defended their title three rounds ahead of schedule. It can also lead Chelsea by 6 points, and defending the title is only a matter of time.

And what about Arsenal?

They were the first to lose Champions League qualification in the league in April.

Manchester United and Liverpool are quite strong in the second half. Both teams now have more than 70 points. At the end of the season, they are likely to break the 80-point mark. However, this pair of old enemies can only be third or third in the Premier League. With four places, Chelsea is still expected to break the 90-point mark in the league, but they still have to watch Millwall succeed in defending the league title!

Whether the Premier League is the number one league in the world boasted by Fleet Street is not easy to draw conclusions, but the Premier League is definitely the most brutal league in Europe, a league that will make the rich and powerful desperate!

In the 35th round of the Premier League, Aldridge also dispatched all substitutes at home, and even transferred Aguero from the youth team to start the game!

Aldridge seems to be training with Wenger very tacitly in this round of the league, going through the motions, preserving his strength, and preparing for the Champions League semi-finals.

Wenger was very helpless on the sidelines, and Aldridge's cunning, or stability, drove him crazy.

Why can't you be really crazy?

Sending all the main players at home is about to kill the gunners again!

Arsenal came here with awareness to withstand the indiscriminate bombing of Millwall. As a result, Millwall got a group of child soldiers, which was comparable to Arsenal's young lineup. The child soldiers of the two teams fought fiercely on the field. Each player was sent off with a red card, but after 90 minutes, it ended with a handshake.

Millwall was chased by Chelsea by 2 points, but still led by 7 points. There are still three rounds in the Premier League. (To be continued..)
