The Young Lion

Before Aldridge came to Turkey, he was very low-key at the press conference. Even if the outside world thought it was a war among excellent coaches, he deliberately avoided all questions about fanning the flames.

Since the European Championship in 1996, Turkish football has been on the rise in Europe. These years have been on the rise. In the past few years, Galatasaray has achieved a series of excellent records in Turkey. Among them, Galatasaray The coach who has attracted much attention in European football: Fatih Trim.

This is a coach who will be favored by Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Milan and other giants in the future. He is also named as one of the eight best coaches in the world by an authoritative organization such as iffhs in more than 80 countries.

He was neither a reformer nor a savior, but he was called emperor in Turkey, perhaps because of his inviolable character traits, and he would fight back with fury and fury to anyone who challenged his authority or violated his boundaries.

Aldridge hates trouble, so it's just an ordinary game in his eyes, and he doesn't want to cause trouble with words or physical movements during the game.

Trim is not as calm as Aldridge, he is eager to further prove himself, and he is assigned to the same group with Milan and Millwall. The outside world looks like Galatasaray is unlucky, but he thinks it is Galatasaray Opportunities for further recognition in Europe.

He formed a 4312 formation at home today, mainly based on short passes in the middle to penetrate and break through.

From the beginning of the game, Trim frowned. Galatasaray's ground attack, advancing from the middle, was completely unable to hit.

Millwall went from forward to midfield. Henry and Nedved's return defense. Plus the midfield defense formed by Pirlo and Makelele. The interception success rate is very high, coupled with the fact that the opponent does not have a winger, the two full-backs Zambrotta and Schneider shrink, giving Southgate an environment to play the characteristics of intercepting a central defender.

Aldridge sat and watched the battle calmly.

He has studied Galatasaray, and Villas-Boas joined the club last year. This year, the efficiency of the club's pre-match preparations has been improved to a higher level.

He is not afraid of Galatasaray's tactical play that focuses on penetration in the middle. Superficially speaking, this tactic is too simple.

The pitch is actually huge. The real top teams can make reasonable use of the length and width of the court, achieve a combination of side and center, not only break through from the center, but also use two sides to attack, expand the offensive surface and points, and play the center or the side alone. , Millwall defended very easily.

Of course, this also depends on the player's personal ability.

The effect of Galatasaray's middle road advancement is not satisfactory.

But there is no winger, and the midfielders dare not take the initiative to pull the side, fearing that they will be too far away from the defensive area and lose their position when they are counterattacked. So they can only increase the ball point in the middle, and the back waistline is also a prerequisite. In this way, the offense will put more pressure on Millwall, but the risk of being counterattacked is also greatly increased.

During the 15-minute period from the tenth minute to the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Galatasaray seemed to have the advantage on the field and played wave after wave of oppressive attacks, but they only forced Millwall The defensive line retreated and did not create better opportunities in the dangerous area in front of the goal.

In the 27th minute, when Galatasaray once again frantically attacked the midfielder, Neal successfully passed the ball to Schneider, who made a big kick from the right to the vacuum in the frontcourt zone.

Nedved definitely couldn't grab the ball, he was running forward from the back, but Ronaldinho moved from the wing to the center and stopped the ball on the spot.

Galatasaray quickly returned to the defense, but Ronaldinho was not in a hurry. He controlled the ball steadily, dribbled the ball around and passed an uphill player, and after Nedved rushed up, he passed the ball diagonally , Nedved rushed forward with the ball.

Larsson and Henry crossed positions to confuse the opponent's back line. Nedved made an oblique pass to the ribs of the penalty area. Henry successfully stopped the ball for offside and adjusted it. After adjusting, he volleyed from a small angle. The ball flew into the goal from the goalkeeper's feet.

Millwall opened the scoring and Thierry Henry scored! A simple but deadly counter-attack put Millwall ahead of Galatasaray away, Trim's side had been in the lead but they conceded first, calm down Hall is not worried about the team being pressed to attack, on the contrary, he may be waiting for Galatasaray to give them space to counterattack.

Henry didn't go to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring a goal. That's asking for trouble. Are you looking for the home team fans to vent?

He and his teammates hugged and celebrated in front of the goal, and then trotted back to halftime together.

Aldridge has been sitting, and when he saw the goal, he chatted with Klinsmann next to him with a smile, and praised Henry's superb shooting skills.

Although this Galatasaray team has excellent players such as Hakan Suker and Emre, the gap between their overall strength and Millwall is quite obvious.

On the football field, it is common for strong teams to be overwhelmed and beaten. This is not necessarily a manifestation of strength or weakness, but most of them are the tactical intentions of the head coach.

The weak team will attack, attack, attack, attack until it is crazy, attack until it is numb, attack until it loses the wolf and still has nothing to gain, the counterattack of the strong team can easily defeat the opponent.

In the contest between the top strong teams, it is almost difficult to create opportunities in positional warfare, and the counterattack is the first weapon to attack the city. Therefore, we can often see the confrontation between the strong in the end, but the game is boring and lacks highlights. , That is to be afraid of each other's counterattack, and they are unwilling to give the other party room to counterattack, defense, let alone the absolute disadvantage of playing more with less.

After Galatasaray lost the ball, he began to slow down the pace. If he wanted to hit the success rate, he could pass and cut and run intensively in the middle. Ordinary passing is no problem, but the threatening ball that penetrates forward will be caught by Milwaukee immediately. Seoul strangles.

Millwall's players are not in a very good state today, maybe because of the away game. In short, there were some mistakes that shouldn't have occurred between several cooperations in the first half.

At the end of the first half, Millwall walked into the locker room with a one-goal lead. Trim needs to think about his countermeasures. If Galatasaray loses this game, they will score one point in two games. Then the prospects for qualifying will be very pessimistic.”

Aldridge made tactical adjustments in response to mistakes in the first half of the offensive coordination.

Sometimes a player can play 95 points today and 85 points tomorrow, within a short period of time in the first and second half of the game. It is impossible for the head coach to make qualitative changes in the players through a few words. Aldridge never demanded that players be shit in the first half. He became a god in the second half, which is unrealistic. The choice he can make is to adjust tactics according to the performance of the players, or to make substitutions.

Players make mistakes, which is perfectly normal, as long as the individual is not playing abnormally for a long time or is too bad to look directly at. Aldridge would not use substitutions, which is similar to the death penalty.

He asked the team to slow down the pace, reduce risky choices, and pursue the success rate. It doesn't matter if the pace is slower, the team is leading, and there is no reason to worry.

Returning to the sidelines in the second half, Aldridge sat down again against the boos from the nearby stands.

After the game started, he watched for 5 minutes, and then turned his eyes to Trim in amazement.

The opponent is like a general commanding an army to fight, and frequently uses body movements to direct the players to fight on the sidelines.

Galatasaray changed in the second half.

From 4312 to 4132.

Intuitively looking at the position of the players on the field, Galatasaray has changed from a three midfielder to a single midfielder.

The style of play has not changed. Still concentrated in the middle.

Aldrich thought of the ruthlessness of Trim, the Turkish emperor, and immediately felt relieved.

In 2008, Trim led the Turkish national team to almost reach the semi-finals with a lore all the way. In the end, the same plot was almost staged against Germany, but it was a pity that it was killed by Ram.

Aldridge stood up, walked to the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, and said nothing.

When he stands here, the players know that he has a new view on the game, and what the players need to do, without words, can understand.

In the second half, Galatasaray changed their formation. If they really let them score and equalize the score, the trend of the game will be completely different.

Soon, Aldridge's lads did not let him down.

With a solid defense, they did not give Galatasaray a chance. On the contrary, in the 64th minute of the game, Millwall relied on a quick counterattack and Henry made another victory.

Pirlo found Larsson with a precise long pass. Larsson drove straight in with the ball. When he passed the last defender of the opponent, he chose a cross pass to the goalkeeper. Henry outflanked the ball and scored twice.

Galatasaray approached the second half with a desperate approach, but the emptiness of the backcourt made the defense more vulnerable when countered.

Aldridge saw the second goal scored, turned and sat back.

Millwall are leading by two goals and it doesn't look like a big problem to win the game. How will Galatasaray face the remaining 25 minutes?

With two goals behind, Galatasaray had no other choice, just attack wildly.

Ronaldinho didn't play well today. Except for the goal in the first half when he protected the ball and turned around, he didn't have any bright spots. Aldridge replaced him with Glenn Shire near the 70th minute. , Maybe this hell home game really had a negative impact on Ronaldinho's performance.

After Ronaldinho was replaced, he sat quietly. Boas came to him and asked him in a low voice. Ronaldinho frowned and began to pour out his bitterness.

He is active on the wing, always concerned about whether fans will attack him on the sidelines.

It’s one thing to follow Nedved’s advice, but it’s another thing to be able to really not be affected. The rain of coins at the beginning left a shadow on his later performance. The flash in the first half was also the result of his running In the middle, you don't have to worry about being attacked by fans before you can play at a normal level.

After hearing this, Boas didn't know how to solve Ronaldinho, so he gave up after thinking about it. After all, he doesn't come to hell to play games every week.

Although the players tried not to be disturbed by the atmosphere in the stands, Millwall did not play at its best today. Maybe Aldridge met an emperor, and the opponent was not afraid to play wild attacks with him, so Millwall On the contrary, in a bad state, Er seemed to win the game easily.

From the 70th minute, Millwall has entered the rhythm of a complete defensive counterattack.

There are only three players left in the frontcourt, Henry, Larson, and Glenshire.

Galatasaray's attack across the board failed once, turned around, and Millwall's counterattack approached the city, destroying Galatasaray's defense line through personal ability.

In the 79th minute of the game, Henry completed a hat-trick.

Three minutes later, Glenshire added the icing on the cake and scored a goal.

Galatasaray pulled one back two minutes later with a set-piece.

After another 4 minutes, Larsson went to the meeting single-handedly and was brought down by the goalkeeper. The referee sent the goalkeeper off with a red card and gave Millwall a penalty. Larsson made it overnight.

5:1, Millwall went to Turkey and achieved a great victory.

After the game, Aldridge stood up and walked over to shake hands with Trim. Without saying a word, he shook hands and left.

Hell home?

It doesn't mean that you are strong if you show your teeth and claws.

Feel sorry.

I have world-class strength to subdue demons.

Even if this is really hell, then I am also the king of hell! (to be continued...) ()
