The Young Lion

Many giants teams can't play pleasing games with a gorgeous attack group. Even the number of goals is not satisfactory. The fundamental problem is that the division of responsibilities is not clear. If there are four of the five offensive players, they want to score by themselves. After scoring, there is only one organization left to attack, so it is not surprising that the offense cannot cooperate smoothly.

Regardless of the technical characteristics of the players themselves, in any offensive positional battle, organizers, serializers, and final killers are needed. Different players perform their duties in different areas, and the first-tier teams can play higher than expected. Records often straighten out this point. Players in the offensive routine perform their own duties and do their own work well. The organization of the organization, the support that should be supported, and the goals that should be scored are not like some giants that have been criticized The offensive line and offensive players all want to be the most brilliant terminator.

The role of Ronaldinho and Henry is the most important thing for Millwall's new generation attack group. If he can meet Aldridge's expectations, then Millwall's attack will set off a bloodbath in European football!

In the past, Pirlo's role in delaying the organization was unexpected, which caused headaches for the opponent team. However, after the opponent gradually became familiar with Millwall's routine, the harassment of Pirlo gradually increased. If too much possession of the ball is at the feet of Pirlo, The offense will be hindered to a certain extent. Ronaldinho also loves to take the ball in the frontcourt. He can share the pressure of Pirlo, making Millwall have a dual core in the midfield and frontcourt!

Henry plays the center forward, flexibly swaps positions with wingers, and crosses positions with midfielder Pavel Nedved. This will make Millwall's offensive points unpredictable and make opponents hard to defend. In the case of balanced offensive and defensive numbers or even if the opponent has one more defender. As long as the tacit understanding of passing and running can be achieved. Mutual screen effect, Millwall will tear apart the opponent's line of defense will become a piece of cake, unless you encounter the top line of defense, passive intensive defense.

Liverpool launched a counterattack after conceding the ball, but Millwall's back line basically did not move, and the frontal defense was extremely successful. After playing 30 minutes in the first half, they only gave the opponent an unmarked kick.

Millwall's attacking line played like quicksilver in attack. It is dazzling to see, but the success rate of the final blow is still lacking in terms of fire.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Ronaldinho got rid of one person laterally on the left side of the midfield and passed the ball to Pirlo who inserted in the back. Pirlo passed the ball to the right with a long pass without stopping Larson.

According to past experience, Larson must have the ball and cut inside, but Henry consciously moved to his side to cooperate. Larson did not break through, and chose to play a 2-on-1 cooperation with Henry, directly tearing Liverpool's defense line, and in the penalty area. After the inner bottom, he knocked the ball back to the top of the arc in the penalty area. Nedved slapped the horse and killed, and the triangle pass coordination was almost completed within 3 seconds. It's so fast you can blink and miss it.

Nedved is the opponent's key mark. When he appears at the top of the penalty area, there are Liverpool players double-teaming him.

But Nedved unexpectedly dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area, broke through the opponent's defense line with a diagonal dribble, and then knocked across the goal.

This was an absolute opportunity for an empty goal, but Henry was a step slower. After he cooperated with Larson, he thought that Larson would shoot, so his speed dropped, and he was ready to look for opportunities to make up shots. When Larson When Ersen passed the ball to Nedved, Henry thought that Nedved would shoot from a long distance. And when the last pass was completely undefended directly in front of the goal, Henry was still a little slow in consciousness. If he hadn't started on the spot, he would definitely be able to easily send the ball into the opponent's goal.

Henry gestured apologetically to Pavel Nedved as the ball slid past the goal and was finally cleared by the Liverpool defender. He felt a little guilty.

If the goal was scored just now, what a beautiful goal it would be?

Nedved ignored him because he didn't see Henry's gesture at all. After Liverpool cleared the siege, he ran back at full speed to defend.

Aldridge saw this attack with a slight difference, and realized that Henry was still thinking of a winger. He responded to the ball and looked for opportunities. He didn’t put himself in the center position. It doesn’t matter. Henry's requirements are also very high. In different areas and situations, the role change is the change of conscious thinking. He just completed a change from center forward to winger and gave the ball to Larson. The latter entered the penalty area and then his thinking stopped. Come down, and if he can keep it going, he'll follow Nedved's brilliant pass at the end.

Once, twice, three times! How many golden opportunities are Millwall going to squander? First Henry missed an empty goal, then Ronaldinho made a wonderful pass to Larsson, but Larsson slipped before the shot, Henry The ball was given to Ronaldinho who cut inside, but the Brazilian kicked a weak shot! Millwall's offense today was pleasing to the eye, but in a fast-paced game, their ability to seize opportunities really made them People can't be flattered, what's going on with Liverpool? Although their defense has been criticized since the beginning of the season, they are completely defenseless today!

Martin, it's not that Liverpool performed poorly, it's that they can't keep up with Millwall's rhythm. As commentators, we watch the game. In the past, we always have subconscious judgments on the players on the field, but today, you can guess that Millwall Is it the choice of the attacking players in the frontcourt after they get the ball? Liverpool must guard Nedved's long-range shots, mark his breakthroughs, and pay attention to the situation behind him, fearing that he will pass a through ball. The same goes for other players. Ronaldo Aldinho, Larson, Henry, these are all players with super personal abilities. If they only rely on individual combat, then the threat will not be too great. It is hard to guard against individual abilities based on teamwork.”

Jansen and Klinsmann were whispering on the bench.

Replacing Van Nistelrooy with Henry, I didn't expect the effect to be completely different.

Maybe it's because Ruud van Nistelrooy is at the center. Henry is fast and has a wide range of movement. He also has the ability to break through and get rid of the defense flexibly. He acts as the center. In the game, he changes positions with the two wings and the players behind him. A lot has changed.

Is this the intention of Aldrich to buy Henry in the first place?

I haven't talked about it, it's not very clear. We have always thought that Henry is a winger, and Ronaldinho and Larsson take turns.

In stoppage time in the first half, Liverpool launched a wave of fast breaks, which seemed to be overwhelming and extremely fast, but they were accurately intercepted by Makelele in front of the penalty area, and the Red Army's offensive disappeared in an instant.

Makelele calmly passed the ball to Zambrotta on the wing, who took the ball to the center line and then passed it to Ronaldinho who ran out of space.

Ronaldinho turned around and dribbled forward with the ball, and played a 3-over-2 cooperation with Nedved and Henry. He got into the penalty area and got a semi-single-handed chance. He didn't seem to feel like shooting today. I didn't want to waste any more chances, so I looked at the right time and knocked back to Nedved. The latter stopped the ball on the spot and kicked the ball lightly to Henry who was anti-offside when he was robbing Liverpool's defense. Henry faced the attack The goalkeeper knocked the ball horizontally again, and Pirlo, who inserted in the back, was just in place, and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

Brilliant goal! Millwall put the ball in for Liverpool! Definitely one of the best team goals of the year! Look at them, look at them! Counter-attack from the back, nothing along the way A personal breakthrough, the player tore through Liverpool's defense layer by layer through passing and cutting, and it was twice! Twice! Ronaldinho was able to shoot Henry's pass, but he put it again The ball was returned to Nedved, and the Czech tried to assist Henry again, but Henry was not greedy for credit, and provided an assist for Pirlo who slowly ran up into the penalty area and was completely unmarked. This goal was Millwall again. Classic team goals, is this what Hall wants? Is this the attack he wants to spend 10 million pounds to introduce Henry? Now Wild Lions fans, who still misses Shevchenko and Trezeguet?

Probably because the way Pirlo scored was too simple, he stood on the spot and turned around after scoring, showing an elegant and charming smile. Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larsson, the four closest to him Everyone also walked slowly in front of him, and the five of them looked at each other and smiled, stretched out their arms to wrap around each other's shoulders, bent down and pressed their heads together.

Aldridge kept smiling and nodding with his hands on his hips on the sidelines. The advantages of Millwall's diamond attack group in the past were speed, passing and cutting, and excellent ability to seize opportunities. Now he wants to build an attack power that is better than that of the 98 Champions League final The more terrifying new generation attacking group. Although the goal just now was completed by passing and cutting, Liverpool is obviously afraid of the personal breakthrough of the Millwall players. They dare not press too high when defending one-on-one, and the distance is also slightly extended. Open, afraid of being completely wiped out by the opponent's sudden change of direction. Under such fear, Millwall's team cooperation is even more threatening.

At the end of the first half, the visiting Millwall led by two goals.

In the locker room, Aldridge did not make tactical adjustments, the team was leading, and he had to continue to run in the tacit understanding of the attacking group, so he did not allow the team to keep playing.

He cared more about the few golden opportunities he missed in the first half.

Liverpool is really not a strong team now, but they still regard themselves as a strong team, so they play unconservatively. Such an opponent is very suitable for Millwall to train.

Aldrich needs a new generation of attack groups to take shape quickly, especially in terms of grasping opportunities as soon as possible. When a master fights, the opponent will not give you so many attack opportunities. Once you have an excellent opportunity, you must seize it. Come again!

In the second half, Millwall still played well. This tactical system is also a test for defense. It can be regarded as a balance between offense and defense, and will give the opponent certain offensive opportunities. The fast break of the attack will also be more threatening than the previous tactics.

In the 45 minutes of the second half, Millwall created a lot of good opportunities, but wasted a lot of times. Except for Ronaldinho's pass in the 70th minute to assist Larsson with a header, the other Good opportunities were squandered, especially the one-handed ball that Nedved and Henry crossed back and forth to respond to Henry's pick pass. He was too chasing angle and missed the post, which made him feel very depressed.

Millwall finally defeated the poor Red Army Liverpool 3-0 in an away game, and once again captured Anfield. (to be continued...) ()
