The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves I don't want anything for their rewards!

The situation in Mestalla changed suddenly, the prestige created by the home fans shook all directions, and the Wild Lions fans were confused by the team's sudden loss of the ball.

I have always been used to Millwall's amazing creative scoring methods, and this is the first time I have seen long passes played like this.

Is this a targeted tactical design by Valencia?

Carew is actually a cannon fodder, attracting firepower. In tactics, he is a transparent person. He does not touch the ball and allows long passes to play penetrating power. The threat point is the side cut player? Fiction novel chapters are updated the fastest

The fans didn't understand, and more people thought that Valencia was lucky.

Aldridge made tactical adjustments before kick-off.

Without opening his mouth, he pointed at Schneider. When the other party looked at him, he raised his index finger with his right hand, drew a straight line from left to right, and then made the same gesture towards Zambrotta.

The two full-backs understood, and they had doubts in their stomachs. Anyway, after following Aldridge for so many years, in terms of tactical adjustments, they are used to making only one choice: accept and execute.

The question in their minds is: the game is less than 20 minutes, playing away, this is a desperate rhythm!

Aldridge's gesture and command are: full-back, attack, and it is the command with the highest offensive enthusiasm.

Meaning they could even comeo as wingers!

Aldridge's calmness not only gave the team confidence, but also made Mestalla's home team fans feel uncomfortable.

Looks like Millwall scored just now. Not the same as the Valencia goal.

In fact, not only Aldrich calm. None of the Millwall players on the pitch had a particular body or facial language.

Just drop a ball. The sky is falling, so far away.

Even if our innocence really collapses, we have the confidence to hold it up again!

The reason why Aldridge made tactical adjustments was very important because of Gonzalez's goal.

Whether to score or not is second, the key is that Gonzalez can appear in that position at that time.

Due to the inherent shortcomings of the lineup, Valencia

The offense of the defenders on both sides is useless, at least it is useless against top teams.

Ronaldinho, Larson. You can gain the upper hand one-on-one.

But obviously the pressure wasn't enough.

Otherwise, Gonzalez does not run as far ahead as Keneng in the counterattack.

Aldridge wants to turn the game into a fierce pair state!

The opposition's back four against Millwall's three forwards.

Pirlo + Nedved vs. Albelda + Baraja.

Gattuso vs. Aimar.

Zambrotta and Schneider versus Gonzalez and Mendieta.

In the end, Carew was alone against Materazzi and Southgate.

Since the opponent is playing the ultimate defense, this is a tactic that restricts teamwork and compresses the space. The key point is the individual confrontation of the players.

The personal ability of the Millwall star is better than that of the opponent, so this must be brought to the extreme.

When Schneider and Zambrotta assisted, Millwall's oppressive attack was completely spread out, almost surrounding Valencia's penalty area in a fan shape, which happened to be a tit-for-tat situation with Valencia's disc-shaped defense.

Caboni and Anglomar themselves cannot guard against Ronaldinho and Larson. Now with the assistance of Schneider and Zambrotta on the wing, they are naturally powerless to parry. This forced Mendieta and Gonzalez to drop deeper to participate in the defense.

Valencia's game at home was extremely passive, even ugly!

Cooper paced back and forth on the sidelines, turning his head and looking at his own restricted area.

After Valencia defended successfully, they could not launch the counterattack they were good at.

Walking on the wing, Gonzalez and Mendieta's sudu couldn't get rid of Schneider and Zambrotta at all, and went directly to Aimar. Anyway, Gattuso is the man and the ball, so one must be left behind!

Not to mention Carew, simply kicking up the high ball directly to find Carew, without even a support point next to him, Materazzi had no scruples, forming a zone defense with Southgate, he was the first to press up and close to press Carew.

In the 30 minutes of the game, the pair situation on the field quietly formed.

Cooper's mind was spinning, trying hard to think of a way to break the situation, trying to reverse the current decline.

Valencia can be passive, but he must not be unable to counterattack. In that case, it is not passive, but just waiting to die!

In the 34th minute, Zambrotta took the ball from the side, and Ronaldinho let the side go to the center, and after receiving the ball, he knocked back to Pirlo with his heel, who passed the ball straight to the front right without stopping the ball.

Baraja and Albelda turned their heads and couldn't believe it. How did Larson get to the right of the center of the penalty area?

After Millwall's bilateral defenders assisted, Gonzalez and Mendieta's awareness of defensive conversion could not keep up with the rhythm of Millwall's players' movement, and marking errors occurred.

Schneider ran up, Gonzalez followed, and Carboni didn't dare to rush out. Larson ran to the small open area in front of the penalty area just like Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho pulled it out and already attracted Albelda. Attention, Baraja itself has the important task of marking Nedved, so Larson has a lot of opportunities.

The space in the penalty area was already very narrow. Larson did not pass the ball, nor did he make a breakthrough. , Canizares broke out in a cold sweat, and the goalkeeper was most taboo to make a save after the ball changed direction.

when

The refracted ball hit the right post and popped out, and Carboni immediately half-turned and made a big-foot clearance.

Larson's shot was refracted and hit the post and popped out! Valencia escaped again! Since Valencia's goal took the lead, they have fallen into a comprehensive passiveness. Millwall's frontcourt is too oppressive. It’s scary, the absolute anti-offensive pressure Valencia to attack wildly, while Valencia is busy defending, and can only clear the siege with aimless kicks every time, unable to make effective counterattacks, if this continues, it is inevitable to lose the ball.”

The atmosphere in Mestalla quietly changed, and the fans of the Bat Legion watched the team be bombarded indiscriminately. There was a rumbling sound in front of the door. They couldn't be more optimistic. The fans of the Wild Lions cheered and applauded like a tide, applauding for every shot of the team, cheering for the wonderful individual performance or teamwork.

Henry's shot slid out, Pirlo's long-range shot was blocked, Zambrotta followed up and continued to shoot long-range, and Canizares blocked the bottom line with a single palm

Millwall continued to attack, successively formed shots, the first half was almost over, Valencia will soon be able to breathe. But first defend this corner.

Pirlo ran to take a corner kick, and Ronaldinho followed stealthily. Pirlo took a tactical corner kick. Ronaldinho stepped on the ball and immediately attracted the opponent's defensive player. Before being approached by the opponent, he pulled the ball back After taking a corner kick, Pirlo ran back. At this time, Pirlo crossed at a 45-degree angle and dropped into the penalty area.

The tactical corner kick is to disrupt the static marking arrangement of the opponent's defensive corner kick. At this time, Pirlo's cross happened to find Materazzi who was ambushing at the back point.

I saw Materazzi leaping high and consciously heading the ball towards the near corner of the goal.

Canizares moved with the flight trajectory of the cross, and Materazzi's header hit the goal from a close angle. The distance was very close, and Materazzi's header hit the goal with sufficient power. Canizares completely subconsciously opened his arms to block the ball, and it turned out. The ball was blocked, but Canizares didn't use his hands or his body, but his face!

Hehe, hehehe, Materazzi's header was rejected by Canizares with his face! Fortunately, Canizares jumped. If he didn't jump, the ball would definitely go from him. Fly overhead into the goal!

Materazzi stomped his feet and jumped on the spot twice, furious and feeling that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

After finally grabbing an opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for his sins, he just didn't make it!

Aldridge saw that the team was unable to attack for a long time, and those shooting opportunities had already come out, but they just missed the goal. He either smiled wryly, or bowed his waist and sighed.

To be honest, the team is in very good shape today, breaking the dense defense, and it is the intensive defense of a team like Valencia that relies on anti-counterfeiting. Taking into account the away factor, Millwall can overwhelm the opponent and achieve considerable results. What else can he say to the team?

To be precise, the current situation is lack of skill in breaking the goal, but not lack of skill in breaking the defense. Valencia's defense has been broken several times by Millwall. The only thing that cannot be broken is the gate guarded by Canizares.

At the end of halftime, Aldridge walked into the player channel first.

The Millwall players got together and went off the field together. They got together to exchange the situation in the first half, and everyone felt a little bit of luck.

Henry was embarrassed, there were too many people in the penalty area, he couldn't get the ball, and there was no room for a surprise attack when he pulled it out. He took advantage of his cold shot characteristics of stopping the ball and getting rid of it. .

Ronaldinho basically shot from a long distance to the far corner, and the only time he hit the goal was resolved by Canizares.

While chatting, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Because they thought of an opponent's data.

How many saves has the goalkeeper made?

In the first half, Canizares made high and low blocks and repeatedly resolved dangers. What he could not resolve, there were crossbars and goalposts to help.

Aldridge did not make tactical changes in the locker room, and now it is only about the player's personal ability when he seizes the opportunity.

His emphasis is on the wing, and Schneider and Zambrotta are the key points. It is a severe test for physical fitness not only to attack to force the opponent's wide player to return to the defense, but also to return to the defense as soon as the offense and defense switch.

When walking out of the locker room, Klinsmann asked: Do you want Klose to warm up in the second half and strengthen the threat of a header in front of the goal?

Aldridge frowned and thought about it, and said: We have Larsson and Nedved for the header. It doesn't feel like the header is bad. In fact, it is difficult to specifically say which point is still flawed in the attack. Klose If it is up, who will be removed? Let’s take a look.”

After thinking about it carefully, Klinsmann didn't insist anymore. He was just offering a suggestion. It was a reminder to Aldrich. If it doesn't work, let's play simple and rough header bombing. Anyway, the opponents are already playing so conservatively at home. .

Now that Henry is better than Klose, Henry is definitely stronger in overall ability, there is no doubt, but Klose has one advantage that Henry has completely defeated, and that is the header!

Henry's header ability is unsatisfactory. The ordinary header is not good, but the one that hit the goal in front of the goal is really horrible.

I usually don't see any abnormalities in training, but it doesn't work anyway when it comes to competitions.

Aldridge couldn't figure out what the reason was. He had absolutely no idea of ​​letting Henry practice his header hard, and there was no need to go into a dead end.

He comforted himself by reading a professional article on the analysis of Henry's header ability in his previous life.

The contributor is a professor at the University of Hamburg, Germany.

It is through Henry's skull profile to analyze why Henry's header ability is unbelievably low.

Aldrich couldn't understand the almost anatomical analysis of the human body. The conclusion was that Henry's head was not suitable for heading, but suitable for flying.

This highly professional article not only explains why Henry's header is poor, but also provides a theoretical basis for why Henry runs fast.
