The Young Lion

Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

Owen ran wildly to celebrate in the pursuit of his Liverpool teammates. The Red Army fans in the stands roared and quickly tied the score, as if they really had the illusion: the gap between us and the European overlord Millwall has become very small.

Benitez still has that tepid expression, but his mentality is completely different from before the opening.

He saw Millwall's posture today, and vaguely figured out Aldrich's psychology.

90 minutes to resolve the battle?

Then he-mother is a lie!

Millwall is going to win in one fell swoop in the opening stage, destroying Liverpool with a devastating offensive, and then slowly wear down the opponent in the rest of the game, using their good pass and control.

hum!

Aldrich, didn't expect that!

Liverpool's temperament has been completely different from the past!

We will not be crushed by goals, we are prepared for the worst situations and we will deal with everything!

The bloody, tenacious, and invincible Red Army announced its comeback this season!

On the contrary, it is Millwall and Aldridge, have you expected this situation?

What next for Millwall?

Can the thinking of the whole team be unified?

Although the game started less than 20 minutes, Benitez has a keen sense of potential changes in the situation on the court.

After Millwall scored a goal, what about after conceding the goal?

Do you want to rush out again?

Such an adjustment of the whole team itself has very high requirements for the unity of thought of the whole team. Once the adjustment is not synchronized, the team will fall apart!

The Wild Lions fans in the stands and the Millwall players in the stadium felt a little aggrieved at the moment.

It's not because of how strong Liverpool is, nor is it because of being suppressed on the scene.

Not because of the change in the score.

Let alone 1:1, even if it is 1:2, 1:3, they cannot be shaken.

It's just that Liverpool's passionate fighting spirit seems to be a kind of provocation invisibly.

A challenge to the king!

This cannot be tolerated!

However, everyone still has to suppress and calm down, with the Champions League final circling in their minds!

That was Millwall's second chance to dominate the Champions League for three consecutive championships!

If you can win the Champions League.

The second genuine Champions League trophy will come to the Lion King Stadium!

Because of this, being powerful but unable to fully display it made the players feel angry.

Aldridge on the sidelines can naturally understand the emotions of the players.

Fortunately!

Aldridge stood on top of the peak, still not forgetting to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Before the war starts, think about defeat first!

In Millwall's current situation, he is really prepared. Of course, in many other games, he is always prepared, but it may not be useful in the game.

But a strong sense of urgency will make him prepare later.

To be honest, he expected that Liverpool might seize the opportunity to break through Millwall's gate, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, so close to the time of Millwall's goal, the impact would be even stronger!

Aldridge made a gesture on the sidelines. Although the Millwall players were angry, they were still very calm and restrained. How should the team play? In the pre-match preparation meeting, the coaching staff had made arrangements to deal with different situations. Condition.

Now, they will not panic in the slightest.

As for how to play the next game, it is not as bravely attacking across the board as in the opening game.

In response to this situation, Aldridge did not change the overall situation of the team, but entrusted a heavy responsibility to a player!

After the game re-kick-off, Millwall's posture has not changed dramatically, and it is still based on balance.

After watching for a minute, Benitez stood up decisively and walked to the sidelines for on-the-spot adjustment.

Liverpool has a focus on the key players of Millwall.

There is no doubt that this point was deliberately emphasized before the game.

And if Millwall wants to consume Liverpool with a steady attitude, this is indeed a hidden danger.

Too eager to win the victory over Millwall, eager to get the championship trophy, the psychological quality of Liverpool's players is definitely not as good as Millwall, although they are also very strong.

But if the score cannot lead, the more late the game is, the more unfavorable it will be for Liverpool, and they will be more likely to make mistakes!

One mistake, and a game can be ruined!

Being able to make up for this, for Liverpool, means unlimited fighting spirit and drive!

There is also an explosion of rhythm and speed on the basis of physical fitness!

Liverpool's defense pays special attention to the marking of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Henry. Almost as soon as they get the ball, they will sound the alarm, and cooperate with all the teammates who return to the defense in the frontcourt to carry out a frenzied siege.

The game seemed to be in a stalemate. Millwall did not burst into a turbulent offensive, and Liverpool seemed to have figured out their step-by-step style of play.

Even Liverpool had more dangerous offenses than them after the equalizer, but they all came from long-range shots. It is still very difficult to capture good opportunities in the penalty area.

Benitez began to waver a little, unable to figure out what Aldridge was planning. It seemed that Millwall was not determined between offense and defense. This is also a common problem of many teams not being able to play a balanced tactical system. It is not firm enough to attack, and it is not thorough enough to defend.

Logically speaking, such a situation should not happen to Millwall, because Aldridge has always been very clear about what the team should ask for and what to shape on the court.

After 35 minutes in the first half, Benitez became more and more depressed. He vaguely suspected that Liverpool was being paralyzed by Millwall, and Millwall, under the calm, was brewing a shocking storm!

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the situation on the field changed suddenly. He noticed a player's running position, which made his heart beat like thunder!

who?

Philip Lahm!

At first Lahm ran up like an ordinary side assist and cooperated with Ronaldinho to pass the ball, but in the 36th minute, after Lahm passed the ball to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho took the ball and moved back instead of To attack Liverpool's tight defense line, at the same time, Lahm approached the inside line and made a staggered move with Ronaldinho!

This way of being moved itself aroused the vigilance of the Liverpool generals, but Ronaldinho immediately passed the ball to Kaka in the middle when they were distracted by their vigilance!

Liverpool's defenders must immediately focus on Kaka, and Kaka took the ball forward one step, and immediately sent the ball out!

His passing line is to kick the ball to the line that Ronaldinho would normally cut inside.

But Ronaldinho was not there, Ram appeared there!

At this moment, Liverpool's defensive strength in this area has declined.

Because Ronaldinho has attracted many people to defend before, like Gerrard and Carrick, they are all ready to encircle Ronaldinho in the area at any time, so the distance cannot be widened!

So at this time, the defensive pressure on Ram's internal cut was not too great, and Kaka's pass was also in place. Ram used the rhythm difference of stopping the ball in front of Hypia to immediately flick the ball horizontally. In terms of flexibility, He is much better than Hyypia, and then he goes directly to the ball and cuts in the middle!

Sissoko quickly retreated into the penalty area, and Carragher had to come to make up for it. Ram didn't think too much, stepped into the penalty area, and after the shooting angle appeared, he immediately took a shot!

Reina hastily blocked the ball, but failed to hold the ball, and the ball bounced in the penalty area.

Someone made a follow-up shot when the bounced ball rolled!

The ball flew into the goal!

The entire Liverpool team was dumbfounded.

It seems that Millwall has not exerted much force, but why did he still concede the ball!

C Ronaldo helped Millwall regain the lead! 2:1!

Benitez lowered his head and gritted his teeth on the sidelines and said in a deep voice: Change!

That's right, Aldridge didn't use the overall situation of the team to change the offense, nor did he let the players use more personal dribbling breakthroughs to disrupt Liverpool's defense, because that would consume more energy and have a higher probability of injury.

He only moved one pawn, Lahm, and the effect was unexpected!

At any time, changing fronts is an offensive method that is very difficult to guard against.

The rewards in offense are great, but the risks are also great. Fortunately, Millwall has matured in the position of the midfielder in the past two years and has a more stable defense. Even if the full-back is out of position, he is not in the defensive position. This risk loophole can be compensated to the greatest extent.

But the change of front must not be used frequently, that is, it becomes a routine method. This is not a hidden danger in defense, but a thorough telling of the opponent: We are the biggest weakness in the defense of the full back!

That way, first of all, the opponent's defense will get used to changing fronts, and secondly, it will also allow the opponent to use the space after the full-back assists to break down the wing.

So Millwall attacked step by step for a period of time, and suddenly Ram stepped in and turned into a forward to play the most effective attack. After this attack, Ram will return to the traditional full-back. When will he activate again? The role of changing front must be judged by Lahm himself according to the changes in the situation on the court.

Lahm's maturity and progress in the past two years are also obvious to all. As a traditional full-back, he is already impeccable. Of course, outsiders insist that he is not strong enough and less confrontational. In this way, his maturity and progress are all based on personal potential.

Liverpool was really dazed by Millwall's goal.

It's not that they are cowardly, but they can't be completely irrational. Some problems cannot be solved. For example, if Ronaldinho overturned their defense line by himself, how to solve this problem? There is no way to solve it!

But if it is like Lahm assisting up to form a new threat point in the penalty area, Liverpool can solve it. At least remind each other of the opponent's hidden attack points, how to help defend, and how to protect each other.

So even if they fall behind again, the Liverpool team has restrained their offense a little bit. If they want to see if Millwall will continue to play like this, they must coordinate with each other to block Millwall's unexpected attack.

But what makes Liverpool depressed is: Lahm no longer stepped forward, as if he was holding a sword but took the initiative to hide it, waiting for the opponent to relax his vigilance, and then he would draw out the sword to deliver a fatal blow!

Changing Front is the assassin among Millwall's many enemy-killing characters!

Not only is it running thousands of miles, but it is also killing without blood when the opponent seems to be in a night dream and is most defenseless! R1152
