The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves, Qingqing Little Wolf and Jiexi for their rewards!

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

The Blackburn boss was right about one thing.

Aldrich's arrangement of troops in such a way brought him confusion and disrupted his arrangements.

Originally, Millwall was superbly strong, and Blackburn would have to stick to defense and counterattack unswervingly. They really couldn’t stop the opponent’s indiscriminate bombing.

But looking at it today, Mahler Gobi and Millwall really put the big-name players on the bench!

The attack group led by Klose is powerful, but there is a huge gap with the diamond attack group led by Henry.

The Blackburn boss scratched his head, kept scratching his head, and his scalp was almost scratched.

From time to time, he glanced at Aldridge, who was sitting firmly on the coach's bench and almost settled down.

What kind of wishful thinking is this young marshal playing?

There is no doubt that Aldridge has been respected by countless people in this industry, as have the coaches of his peers.

When Aldridge first became famous, everyone felt that he was a junior with better luck. Even if he had the ability, most of the older coaches were not convinced or willing to be convinced.

But over the years, Millwall's brilliance shines extremely brightly. Aldridge has created a king's division comparable to the golden team in football history. The mentality of his peers has also subtly changed. Respect, respect, praise, Learn, and most importantly: beat him!

Proud to beat Aldridge!

Just like many teams are proud of beating Millwall, even some weak teams can score Millwall a goal, regardless of the final result of the game. Will make their fans and players ecstatic!

The mentality of many coaches is the same now.

There is no shame in losing to you.

But it would be an honor to win against you!

From a utilitarian point of view, Aldridge and Millwall. A perfect stepping stone to fame.

Players can become famous in one shot.

But who cares what your name is when you score against a semi-professional side like Cambridge United?

But if you score against Millwall. No matter how unknown you were in the past, you will definitely be on the headlines of the football section the next day, and your fame will increase dramatically.

The coach can become famous in one battle and beat Aldridge. Such a head coach can also be in the limelight for a while.

With a humble attitude and the belief in challenging Aldridge, the Blackburn coach has prepared for this game for a long time. He has worked hard in tactics, players' thinking, and team attitudes. Anyway, they have no Relegation pressure. If they can win the League Cup, it will basically mean the successful end of the season. This is not Blackburn, who was able to counterattack the throne when Shearer and Sutton were in the team.

But Millwall's arrangement of troops today made the Blackburn coach feel bad.

He glanced at Millwall's bench. Henry, Larson, Nedved, Ronaldinho are all listed.

Will it?

The Blackburn boss thought of a possibility.

Aldridge's absence from the main attacking group must be for the sake of the following games, and the physical fitness of the players must be arranged reasonably.

However, in this game, let the young players attack first, and play with Blackburn.

When it's about the same time, then sacrifice the main attack group with powerful firepower. Of course, only three places can be exchanged, but let alone three, the main force should not be underestimated.

The Blackburn coach thought for a long time and agreed with his guess.

That's definitely what Aldridge intended!

You know, this game is not a regular 90 minutes. In case of a tie in 90 minutes, there will be overtime!

The physical fitness of the players enters the watershed stage after about 70 minutes. Even if they have strong willpower and persist for 90 minutes, it will be too difficult to keep them completely consistent for 120 minutes, especially when the defensive players are in a passive position. .

The more he watched the game, the more he believed in his own judgment.

Because Millwall did not attack violently, Blackburn put on a stance of strictly defending from the beginning. The offensive power of Millwall's substitute lineup has a slight advantage against opponents with a balanced offense and defense, but it is not good enough to break through dense defense. heat.

The game was relatively turbulent. Millwall's offensive rhythm was very regular. After two long shots, they tried to penetrate once, and then they tried to penetrate once, and so on. But Blackburn was monolithic, and the defensive formation was not loose at all. However, unless Millwall shoots a long-range shot at a level that threatens to explode, he can only return in vain.

Although Blackburn is strictly defending, it does not mean that they consume less energy. It is impossible for the defensive formation to drag the bus statically in the penalty area all the time. Let Millwall unscrupulously exert pressure on the periphery, but after going up to the top, if there is a slight disturbance in the front, the defense will quickly retreat, looking like fleeing.

Going back and forth between the restricted area and the midfielder, the defensive players' nerves are tense all the time, and they will explode and accelerate short-distance running at every turn. , the speed of the defender drops, and the contrast is more obvious when the striker breaks out.

Because of this, the Blackburn coach does not want to be led by the nose by Millwall. He is afraid that Millwall will be playing a war of attrition today. Look, Millwall is the main defense, substitute offense, and substitute players play offense. Isn't it just cannon fodder?

In the 30 minutes of the game, Blackburn only had two shots, and there was no stable threat attack. Basically, it counted wherever they hit, and they took a shot to try their luck when they had the opportunity.

The Blackburn coach no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and issued tactical instructions to the players on the sidelines.

The players on the field didn't dare to go against the coach's intentions when they saw this situation. In the pre-match preparation plan, the coach made such an offensive instruction. It should be done when the score is behind. Now it's still a tie. The coach just adjusted like this. It's too late for everyone Think deeply and execute.

Blackburn began to increase their offensive force, focusing on midfield interception and then devoted themselves to offense.

Aldridge sat off the court with a sad expression. In fact, he is also thinking about how to break Blackburn's dense defense.

It's just that the game hasn't reached the time when the change must be made. If there is still a tie after 60 minutes in the second half, he will make a change.

However, Blackburn suddenly changed his posture on the court. Take the initiative to attack out. Aldrich blinked, inexplicably. Why did the opponent attack?

Is it to attack the unprepared?

It shouldn't be, Millwall's offense is not excessively invested in troops, it is quite satisfactory, and their defense line is very tight. If Millwall presses heavily and the opponent suddenly changes his posture, it is really possible to catch Millwall by surprise for a period of time.

With the sudden change now, isn't the cart putting the cart before the horse tactically?

What is the reason for guarding against death at the beginning?

Isn't it just to limit Millwall's offensive space?

Now that I voluntarily give up such an approach, why did I do it in the first 30 minutes?

Confused Millwall?

Aldrich just likes to think about it, because he thinks that he has made these thoughts thoroughly and can apply what he has learned. Be your own thing, of course, take the best and discard the dross.

Blackburn went up, and Southgate, who was in command of Millwall's defense, saw the opponent's posture. Immediately happy, he didn't let his teammates rush up to resist and confront the opponent head-on. On the contrary, he directed his teammates to retreat.

Isn't the opponent attacking? Let them attack!

Don't ask the opponent's soldiers to press down, as long as the midfield line is pressed up and the space between the midfielder and the opponent's penalty area becomes larger, Millwall's offensive opportunities will be much better.

Since Blackburn took the initiative to attack, seeing that Millwall's formation was suppressed and retreated, they naturally took advantage of the trend!

They made it through the midfield, but were met with strong resistance in Millwall's penalty area.

Materazzi managed to physically block the striker with the ball, then intercept the ball, then pass the ball to Gattuso, who then passed the ball to Alonso.

Blackburn is not Bayern Munich, and the quality of defense from offense to defense is quite different. Alonso ran out of space before receiving the ball. Lonzo chose a long pass.

Ground ball long pass.

It was passed to Kaka, and it was in front of Kaka, giving Kaka the space to start rushing forward.

When Kaka caught up with the ball, the opponent's midfielder almost grabbed the ball. Seeing that the situation was not good, Kaka kicked the ball to Lamore on the left first.

Lamour got the ball, and Kaka was already behind. In this attack, the attacking midfielder was not in the position, but Kaka did a good job. First, he sent the ball and diverted the offense. Secondly, he attracted the opponent's attention. lower back.

Lamour dribbled the ball inside, and he dribbled the ball to the front midfielder. When he was in front of the penalty area, the opposing defender had to come up to block him. He made a wonderful pass and passed behind the defender. Klose had been waiting for a long time. , After the anti-offside was successful, he took advantage of the situation to lead the ball, adjusted the stop belt, and volleyed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Millwall scored a goal, Klose put the team ahead, an assist from Lamour, it's strange, Blackburn should be defensive and counterattack, but Millwall played. There was a fast break and the ball was lost.

In the Millennium Stadium, the Wild Lions fans were very excited. Don't look at the stars who don't have the main attacking group today, but that's it, they can still take the lead. What does it mean? It shows that there is no need to worry about the thickness of Millwall's lineup, every substitute player can fight with it!

Klose turned back and pointed at Larmor, smiled and hugged his teammates. This is a final, and it is a game that can win the championship trophy. Klose can score goals in such a game. Compared with The progress made a year or two ago can be said to be very intuitive.

Aldridge pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the Blackburn coach was thinking.

He turned his head to communicate with his colleagues on the coaching staff, trying to get others to help him analyze the reason for the goal.

Millwall is not considered to have played a particularly typical counterattack, because Blackburn's back line is relatively complete, from offense to defense, central midfielder, midfielder, plus four backs, at least 6 people participated in the defense, no That kind of back line directly leaves space behind you, and it is an excellent counterattack opportunity for a through ball to penetrate the defense line.

However, Blackburn's active attack has reduced the tightness of the midfield defense, and the enlarged offensive space is in the midfield. Only Alonso, Kaka, and Lamore teamed up to tear apart the opponent's defense in this area.

I don't understand. If you want to talk about the Jedi's counterattack, the time and timing are not right.

Jansen shook his head. He also saw the way. Although Millwall is strong, it is impossible for him to play every game magnificently and earth-shatteringly. I won't take it to heart, after all, fans still focus on appreciation.

Blackburn wants to attack, yes, but there is a major premise, that is, the defense is successful. Secondly, in terms of timing, it should be that Millwall's physical fitness has declined. It is also possible to take advantage of Millwall's impatience that may occur after being unable to attack for a long time, and the defense line is exposed, and they launch a surprise attack.

But Blackburn happened to attack rashly when these two conditions and the basic conditions did not exist or were immature, laying a hidden danger for conceding the ball.

Aldridge couldn't figure it out, so he could only smile and applaud the team's goal.

This goal came really inexplicably. It was in vain. He was still thinking about how to change his tactics to break Blackburn's dense defense. If every opponent was like this, how wonderful would the world be? ! ()
