-------------------

After the goal, Liverpool gained momentum and the routine was clear at a glance. The midfielder made a quick transition, then made a surprise attack from the left to open the gap in Millwall's defense, and then the midfielder and forward outflanked the center.

Millwall's automatic adjustment was also very quick. Makelele took the initiative to help defend Schneider's side, and Ballack no longer stepped in frequently. He honestly did the rough work of engineers in the midfield and the backcourt, and directly sent the ball to the front after receiving the ball. Nedved.

This is also a common adjustment for Millwall tactical switching. When you have the upper hand, play 433, which is more oppressive.

McManaman faced Schneider one-on-one with a very high success rate of breakthroughs, but after Makelele took the initiative to approach, Schneider could concentrate on defending the opponent's bottom, which made McManaman encounter difficulties. The foot pass was extremely reluctant, and even the ground pass in the last two minutes of the first half was directly cut off by Makelele.

At this time, Liverpool's formation has been overwhelmed. Makelele steals the ball and picks a light cross in the frontcourt. Nedved turns around after getting the ball near the center circle. Barnes and Borg are coming from the backcourt. He retreated back, but Nedved was faster. After he started, he dribbled the ball and strode forward.

Little Redknapp stepped back as if he was facing a big enemy. He was not in a hurry to grab, but retreated first, and formed a defensive system with the central defenders to contain the opponent's attack.

Trezeguet pulled out of the penalty area to respond, and Nedved came to the front of the penalty area. Redknapp Jr. was finally about to press close, and Nedved changed his line and went to the right to kill. Little Redknapp followed closely.

Suddenly, a shadow on the right came into view, and the pressure on Redknapp Jr. increased sharply. He stared at Nedved. No matter what, he was the ball holder and the greatest threat.

Nedved ran a cross with Larsson, which caused Redknapp Jr. to stop suddenly.

Where's the ball?

He turned around abruptly. Then pounce on Larson.

Cunning Czechs!

At the moment when the running positions crossed, the ball under Nedved's feet disappeared. He didn't make a passing action, it was more like he ran over on purpose, the ball stayed where it was, and Lal Sen happened to rush past him and took the ball away.

Little Redknapp was obviously thrown away by Larson because of the rhythm of his body.

And when Larson brought the ball to the penalty area line, Liverpool's double central defenders were alerted immediately, Scales rushed forward, and Bob stared closely at Trezeguet.

Larsson was almost caught in an embattled situation, with Scalise in front and Redknapp Jr. on the right. There are Barnes and Borg chasing behind.

But the calm Swede passed the ball diagonally between Scalise and Babb.

Trezeguet didn't move for the first time, and waited for the ball to pass before he began to outflank the goal. Babu hesitated for half a second between chasing the ball and chasing the person, which slowed his start, and behind him . Nedved, who ran a cross with Larson just now, circled back again, just in time to enter the penalty area and was unmarked. Responded to Larson's through pass that tore through the defense.

At a forty-five-degree angle in the penalty area, Nedved just pushed and shot the ball. James, who abandoned the goal, stretched his legs to block it. Looking back, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

The Lions Den stadium cheered loudly.

After the goal, Nedved waved a fist with one hand to the fans in the stands.

Millwall equalized at the end of the first half. This goal is very important! The goal is Nedved. This is a tacit cooperation between Nedved and Larsson.

The topic goes back to the most heated part of the discussion, when Millwall's wingers frequently dipped into the middle, and the attacking midfielder or Nedved in the attacking midfielder changed from a passer to a killer. Breaking into the penalty area will make the defender unexpected. As long as someone can pass a deadly pass, then he will be able to score. Liverpool wants to attack, so there is space in the backcourt for Millwall to cooperate. How to limit it? This kind of attack? Obviously a single midfielder is not enough. Redknapp Jr. worked hard, but his defensive coverage is not large. It is hard to accuse him of giving up Nedved and turning to mark Larsson just now. , because that's his defensive area.

The first half ended quickly, and players from both sides walked into the locker room.

After entering the locker room, Aldridge stood in front of the tactical board with a cold expression.

At the beginning, there were many reasons why we were passive. The most important point is that you underestimated Liverpool. Maybe the past four victories against Liverpool made you ignore them, but what was the result? They used more It was a good 45 minutes played with a positive and serious attitude. You could have created more chances, but you paid the price for your mentality. David, especially you, tell me, you can make me in the second half. Do you continue to trust you?

Trezeguet's performance at the beginning of the first half was mediocre, and Aldridge was very dissatisfied with his standing position. He needed the striker to drop back to respond, and he had to invest in defense.

Aldridge does not require the striker to run back to his own penalty area from the frontcourt, but the depth of the retracement must at least reach the center circle, and it is to directly harass the opponent's center organizers, rather than casually walking back to the center circle.

Trezeguet hesitated to speak, and finally he could only say loudly: No problem, I will work hard in the second half, boss, just wait and see.

He actually wanted to say that the left winger Glenshire is good at crossing from the bottom, and I want to score a few goals in the front.

But he also wondered, the quality of Glenshire's cross in training was not as bad as it is today.

Aldridge laid out the key points in the defense, then named Glenshire, drew a line trajectory on the tactical board, and said: Jespe, you play like this in the second half, as long as you are sure on the side, you can do whatever you want. How do you pass, and then when you are close to the position of 5 to 10 meters before the penalty area line, change the line and cut in with the ball. After you are close to the middle, you can choose whether to shoot the ball or shoot through your observation. If it is a ball. Then after the ball is out, you give me an oblique insertion into the space in the penalty area's ribs. Do you understand?

Glenshire hesitated a little. In fact, Aldridge has been teaching the winger to cut inside instead of crossing from the bottom, because the cross from the bottom can let the full-back do this work, and the winger cuts inside and holds the ball. Threat, running off the ball and inserting the ribs can also attract defensive attention, and as long as you change direction to the middle. There are more ball options immediately, there is a support in the middle, the winger makes room for the full back, the striker runs, etc. If you are clinging to the wing, there are too few options for the ball, and it is easy to lose The ball is dead.

If Liverpool hadn't sent three midfielders today to make the central area look crowded. Glenshire will not go down repeatedly, because he feels that there is no room for development in the middle, so he chooses to go straight.

But since the head coach called the roll call, he should have made a military order and clapped his chest to guarantee the completion of the task.

Back on the court in the second half, Aldridge sat down again, the score was still a tie, but he chose to trust the players.

If they were warned at half-time there were still people who couldn't put their minds into the game. Then this player will definitely disappear from the starting list in the next game.

The fighting spirit of the Liverpool players is still very strong. For them, today's game is not about getting three points for a victory, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. It is a battle of revenge that concerns dignity and face, and its significance has long surpassed the outcome of the game itself.

Because of McManaman's pressure on the left. Millwall can only rely on Larson alone in front of the attack on the right, which makes his air cuts more difficult and easier to be marked, but on the left of Millwall, Glenshire has been playing on the wing in the first half , Let Zambrotta have no area to step forward to assist, so the two wings of the frontcourt attack are both rigid and inefficient.

Things changed in the second half. Glenshire relied on his speed to overwhelm McAteer without any problem, and then dribbled the ball inside. After he cut inside, Zambrotta quickly caught Jones' attention. The striker moved, Larsson on the other side stepped in, Nedved supported in front, Ballack also ambushed behind, and Millwall's offensive immediately came to life.

But the key point lies in Glenshire's choice and ability to handle the ball.

In the first 15 minutes, after he cut inside, he had a long-range shot that went too far, and then he began to choose to pass the ball, and the effect became better and better. When he passed the ball, he cut the ribs of the penalty area and disrupted Liverpool's defensive line. Deved created a chance for Trezeguet and Larsson respectively, but they failed to score. Even Ballack also stepped forward to take a long shot, but his footwork was not controlled well, and it was a little bit off. Outrageous.

Liverpool began to be somewhat suppressed. Their players were not reconciled, so they invested more personnel in the counterattack. McAteer, who defended on the right in the first half, felt that since he couldn't stop Glenshire, he might as well use it. The offense was suppressed, so he also assisted, giving Liverpool more offensive options.

With this attack, the scene was full of passion immediately. Neither team was the kind of rough play team with a long pass. Then came the other side's soldiers approaching the city.

Barnes took a long shot straight to the lower right corner of the goal, and Bout flew out and hugged the ball tightly in his arms, causing applause from the scene.

Millwall's main goalkeeper for the new season is really reassuring. Although he is young, he is more stable than Keller. This kind of saving is what a strong team needs, and it is also beneficial to the morale of both teams. With a different effect, Liverpool must feel frustrated, while Millwall's players will have a more calm mentality.

After Bout saved the ball, he didn't waste time. He got up and threw the ball to Zambrotta. He didn't dare to pass it to Schneider. Fortunately, his mental state is not bad, and his confidence has not been destroyed. From his expression and movements every time he defends, it can be seen that he is working hard instead of fouling roughly.

Zambrotta took the ball and passed it to Ballack, who was responding in front of the right.

The ball seemed to be passed with a knife, and the distance between Glenshire and the opponent's full-back Jones and the ball was almost equal.

But Glenshire was faster. He and Jones took a step faster in the scramble. He took the ball away first, and then rushed inside, setting off a burst of cheers from the stands.

With his start, Liverpool's defense became jittery again.

Nedved made a space by running. Glenciel crossed the ball to Nedved from the front of the penalty area, and then rushed forward with unabated speed. Nedved knocked the ball directly into the penalty area. , allowing Glenshire to get a single-handed shot.

Glenshire was probably too fast. He took a shot with a little reluctance. After exerting strength, only the toes touched the ball. As a result, he wanted to hit the near corner of the goal, but the ball flew to the far corner of the goal.

James was also shaken by him. Seeing that the opponent's action was to shoot vigorously, why did the ball fly to the other side lightly?

when!

The ball hit the far post. After taking the shot, Glenciel lost his center of gravity and fell outside the baseline. Seeing that the ball didn't go in, he was extremely disappointed, but in the next second, the ball bounced back towards the penalty spot with a keen sense of smell. Trezeguet rushed to the horse, jumped up and shot with his arch pad, and the ball flew into the goal.

James was a step too slow to pounce, and he got up and roared at Barb and Scalise in the back line of defense.

Why did you miss someone again?

The two defenders are relatively innocent. They are not afraid of the other party directly cooperating with Trezeguet. What they are afraid of is a sudden change in rhythm. Once Glenciel shoots, everyone's attention becomes the ball. This naturally has a flaw .

Trezeguet pulled his jersey and rushed to the sidelines, while smiling and waving to Glenciel on the ground. (To be continued.
