The Young Lion

In order to become the head coach, Aldridge has prepared for eight years, and has been officially employed for more than five years. He has been immersed in the football field for thirteen years, and he already has his own concept of training players.

Like Lampard, he is somewhat similar to Gerrard, but in terms of training, Aldridge has already shaped him in the midfield, playing Pirlo's substitute, maybe Lampard is definitely not as good as Pirlo in terms of organizational talent, but he can To strengthen the defensive hardness of the midfield, the offense only needs him to go forward and shoot long-range like Pirlo. The activity area of ​​​​b2b has not changed, but the tasks on the field are fixed.

Another example is Pedretti, that is to practice directly in the way of Makelele, let him devote 80% of his energy to defense, and the remaining 20% ​​to participate in offensive support, and don't worry about other things!

It is definitely more valuable to practice these two items well than to practice comprehensiveness.

A player who can attack, retreat and defend sounds awesome, but as the game becomes more intense and the gap between the top teams is negligible, you want to be invincible when attacking and solid when defending. It seems that one person dominates the field. !

As for Irving, Aldridge no longer had expectations after being disappointed four years ago. Irving's development trajectory is the same as in history. He is a pure shooter and has frequent games at the beginning of his career. He has almost full attendance for two consecutive seasons and has no reasonable rest. , It’s no wonder that in the future, he will be covered with injuries and unable to fully recover. It is a typical overworked illness. This kind of star should be bought as early as possible, and then bought when he becomes famous. Aldridge must at least give him at least half a year’s leave to recuperate his body. , and he has to change his style of play. Anyway, it is impossible for the team to recreate the technical and tactical system for a player. If you think about it, you will retreat.

The second round of the Premier League in the new season is about to start. In the first round, Liverpool beat Sheffield Wednesday 2:1 away to usher in the first official home game of the new season. They will face last season's league champion Millwall. Millwall In the new season, he quickly entered the game state. In the first round of the league, he easily defeated his city rival Tottenham at home. Hall declared before the game that he was looking forward to this game. He wanted to compete with the young Liverpool. I don’t know what he said The words are true and false. But Liverpool did use a lot of young people in the new season.

Millwall, who is a guest, continues the first round of the league. Liverpool's starting lineup is 442.

Goalkeeper: Sandor Westerwade.

Houllier started to clean the Liverpool Spice in the summer. Goalkeeper David James was sent away and replaced by Westerweider from the Netherlands.

Defenders: Rigobert Song, Stephen Henkez, Sami Hyypia. Dominic Matteo.

Hyypia was unexpectedly awarded the captain's armband by Houllier in the new season. It is hoped that he can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's role model and lead Liverpool on the road to revival.

Midfielder: Dietmar Hamann,

Steven Gerrard, David Simpson, Danny Murphy.

Forwards: Titi Kamara, Michael Owen.

There are some new summer aids in the Liverpool team. There are also rookies trained by their own youth training. Such a team that looks young in terms of age and team maturity does not know whether it can withstand Millwall's super offensive firepower today.

Aldridge looked at the young rookies in Liverpool's squad, especially the midfielders. Except for Dietmar Hamann, who is 26, the other three players are all in their 20s.

Harman plays a defensive midfielder, and the other three players may line up a small diamond-shaped midfielder, or line up, who knows, just watch during the game.

Players like Simpson, who have been well-known in the 96 Liverpool youth training in the past few years, soon proved unable to gain a foothold in the top arena in the future. Entering the England national team has become an inspirational story, but that's all.

Danny Murphy, Aldridge can think of him being talked about as a Manchester United killer, but he can't think of anything earth-shattering on the court.

After the start of the game, Liverpool took the lead in kicking off, fell backwards in the backcourt, entered the rhythm of the game, and then made a mistake with the first pass forward.

Simpson's through pass to Kamara was easily intercepted by Makelele.

Millwall launched a counterattack on the spot, Makelele handed the ball to Pirlo, and Gerrard had already stuck up behind him, Pirlo knocked the ball back to Schneider on the wing, and the latter passed it forward To Larson who retreated to catch the ball, Larson did not turn around and hit Nedved.

In this way, Millwall's offense became a frontal advance, which ran extremely smoothly.

Nedved broke through Harman's defense and came to the penalty area. He went straight to the penalty area in front of Hyypia. Henry made a diagonal move and kicked the goal. The ball rubbed against the post and flew into the stands.

In the past against Evans' Liverpool, the opponent would remove a striker and add a midfielder to defend, but today Liverpool has 4 midfielders. Instead of reducing the striker's double striker configuration, it compresses the defense in the middle. Weakened the wing defense.

Millwall hit the middle after the opening, and Liverpool's four midfielders kept retreating, scrambling in front of the back line. Sometimes they failed and Millwall found a chance to shoot, sometimes they succeeded, but because of the The striker opened the distance too far, couldn't find the point of exit from defense to offense, quickly lost the ball again, and then continued to enter the defensive rhythm.

Liverpool fell into a passive situation after the opening.

Houllier looked dignified, and Aldridge didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps he hoped that the group of young players and new players from Liverpool could grow up quickly under the pressure.

Aldridge looked up at his watch, and the first fifteen minutes of the game passed quietly.

He made a gesture on the sidelines to remind the players on the field.

The established tactics before the game have not changed, he just made the players pay attention to the time.

Reminded by the coach, the players are united.

Nedved retreated to the midfield and took the ball to attract the attention of Gerrard and Murphy. When he came back from such a running position, those players who were staring at him would subconsciously follow him. Immediately afterwards, Nedved Cooperate with Pirlo for one-two, the ball returns to Pirlo's feet, the latter passes the ball to Larsson on the right with a precise pass, Larsson dribbles the ball laterally to get rid of Mateo's defense and then passes the ball Hand over to Henry who pulled out of the penalty area to catch the ball.

Larsson moved forward, seemingly going straight into the space in the ribs. Seeing that Mateo failed to keep up with Larson, Hyypia moved slightly to the left to block Larson's advancing route.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Millwall's attack on the right, but Henry passed the ball to the left.

Ronaldinho receives the ball while running in from the wing. Leaving Song directly behind. After entering the penalty area, he made a fake move to deceive Henkelz, and he pulled the ball horizontally to pull out the gap and it was a strong shot!

The shot was powerful. Aldridge on the sidelines thinks that he must enter!

But the goalkeeper Westerweide bravely blocked the ball with his body!

The ball popped out of the penalty area, and before Harman was about to make a clearance, someone took the ball forward before him, Nedved!

He followed with an unremarkable volley. Liverpool's goalkeeper fell to the ground and didn't get up after the save. It was too late to get up again in a hurry, and the ball went straight into the center of the goal!

Ronaldinho's strong shot was saved, Nedved followed up and succeeded! Millwall's visit to Anfield made an ideal start!

After scoring the goal, Nedved made a don't come gesture to his teammates. He was afraid that he would be caught by his teammates or thrown to the ground. He trotted all the way to the coaching bench of the visiting team, pointing at Aldridge along the way. . After coming to the sideline, he smiled at Aldridge: Boss, this goal is for your two precious sons. Unfortunately, I failed to score in the last game. Today's goal came a bit late, but, Bless the two little guys!

Aldridge hugged him tightly and said with self-reproach: Then you should have prevented me from substituting you in the last game.

No, I know the boss needs us to keep fit for the whole season.

Well done, come on, you are already a Millwall legend, but you can become a legend in world football!

Well, I will work hard and keep working hard until the day I can't kick anymore!

Other players rushed to join in the celebration, which symbolized the unity of the team, which Aldridge considered more important than anything else.

Watching the players walk back to the field, Aldridge's eyes changed, he was satisfied with the players' performance just now.

Liverpool compressed the defense in the center, Millwall stormed the center to attract the attention of the defense, and then passed a rapid and large-scale shift, hitting from right to left, Larsson's movement attracted attention, Henry made a sudden shift, Ronaldinho unexpectedly killed, in the When Liverpool's defense was stretched horizontally in an instant, Ronaldinho's personal performance had an immediate effect.

Although the goal was scored by Nedved, Ronaldinho cut away from Song and had room to move past Henkez. This is the key to the goal. If he shoots more tricky, the goal will be returned. It wasn't until Nedved made a supplementary shot.

In fact, there are almost no top players in Liverpool's team who can make a move. Hyypia has not really stepped into the ranks of top defenders. Owen should be counted as one, but when the midfield is suppressed, his pure The shooter is completely invisible.

Song and Henkez were Millwall's key attack side, but Millwall didn't hit this side as soon as they came up. Instead, they attacked the center first, then expanded from the right, and finally performed a fatal blow on the left.

Aldridge didn't pay too much attention to Rigobert-Song, and he was no different from most ordinary players in the Premier League. One-on-one, he was definitely not Ronaldinho's opponent.

But if he knew that this Song had a nephew, of course his surname was Song, but his name was Alexander Song, he would probably have a good chat with this Mr. Song.

After the goal, Millwall is still suppressing Liverpool. The opponent wants to exert force, but they can’t control the midfield at all. Aldridge never gives privileges to the players on the field. Everyone must participate in defense, and Henry, who plays center forward, is no exception. , Therefore, even if the offense is frustrated and the possession of the ball is lost, the active on-the-spot counter-grab of the frontcourt players makes it impossible for Liverpool to organize an effective offense.

To defeat today's Liverpool, Aldridge believes that the most critical link is the suppression of a Liverpool midfielder: Harman.

This person works as a defensive midfielder, and defensive steals are his strengths. Once he is stuck by him, the consequences will be disastrous, and his role as a pivot when switching from defense to offense is very obvious. It is not gorgeous to handle the ball, but the next choice to control the ball is very good. Reasonable.

Therefore, Millwall should avoid Harman when attacking, and Henry should harass Harman when defending. At the same time, other players block his passing line when marking. This is what Millwall is doing very well today, and it can be sustained. Reasons to suppress Liverpool.

In addition to singing, the Red Army fans in the stands can only sing.

Playing against ordinary opponents, they would think that players such as Gerrard, Murphy, and Simpson can have high hopes, but today, they only saw the rampant Gerrard, and Murphy, who couldn't hold the ball steadily, passed forward consecutively. Simpson made three turnovers. On the contrary, Harman had the highest passing success rate, but he couldn't support the midfielder.

What bothers the Red Army fans the most is that today the opponent is Millwall, whom they don't want to face, especially the man standing on the sidelines: Aldrich Hall! ()
