The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves and Qingqing Little Wolf for their rewards!

At the Lion King Stadium, the fans only saw Millwall's aggressiveness and pierced through the Bayern Munich goal again, but they didn't know that Aldridge pushed Heathfield into a desperate situation at the level of the head coach's fighting skills.

Breaking the dense defense, whether it is a long-range shot or a personal breakthrough, is just a one-time attack, a separate attack, and Millwall's frontcourt control style of play suppresses Bayern Munich in the overall situation.

In theory, Bayern Munich's defense can complete the triangle double-teaming of every offensive player in Millwall, improve the fault tolerance rate, and focus on restrictions.

But in reality, it is impossible to do this every time, especially when the offensive player actively moves and disrupts the opponent's marking plan, the offensive position is changing, and the defensive team must also respond immediately at the same time. If you don't follow the rhythm, you may be caught by your opponent.

Millwall's non-aggressive, based on control, is constantly destroying and disrupting the defensive rhythm of Bayern Munich's waistline, and then when the opportunity arises, they will directly face the opponent's defense line with less play and more, which actually divides Bayern Munich. Defensive system!

It is very difficult to do this, but Millwall did it, and this is what Aldridge is proud of. At the peak of the Wild Lion Dynasty, not only the player's ability is strong, but also the team's tacit understanding, awareness, game experience, etc. The accumulation of various aspects makes the head coach's tactical arrangement easier, and the players are well-versed, without long-term drills. The big frame remains unchanged. Minor tweaks. In actual combat, it can be integrated faster and achieve the expected effect.

Hitzfeld is still communicating with his assistants on how to solve the current predicament.

His assistant drew a simple schematic diagram of the position in the tactics book.

The focus is on Millwall's offensive positioning.

There is a saying that the defense cuts the opponent's formation. After Millwall's striker retreated, it became Millwall's offensive formation and cut Bayern Munich's defensive formation. The three midfielders are surrounded. On the basis of control, penetrate this line for a certain period of time, and then quickly face the back line for the final offensive cooperation.

What is the premise of the back line? In turn, we can double-team their forward line.

Hearing what the assistant said, Hitzfeld directly shook his head and denied: That would lose the original intention of defending. The premise of the back line, the opponent's forwards, Henry, Larson. The anti-offside ability is outstanding. Once our back line commits such a crime mistake. Turn around, it's too late!

His assistant scratched his head, thinking about it too,

Bayern Munich's defense is to compress the space in the most dangerous area on the offensive end. If the back line is the premise, wouldn't the cart be turned upside down? In fact, it is precisely because Millwall has played behind the ball in the past few years, with through balls, through balls over the top, and oblique long passes, that all opponents are heartbroken, so they have to drag the defense line to snipe them with intensive defense.

What about the forward pressure of the midfielder? It forces them to organize the offensive zone farther.

Give Ronaldinho the space to start up the speed of his dribbling. His ability to directly enter the penalty area from the front waistline disrupts our ability to defend in the middle. This

Hitzfeld was contradicting his assistant, but he couldn't go on.

Millwall's Trident offensive threat is too strong, because of the characteristics of these three players, they play their own advantages in different situations, making opponents almost impossible to defend against.

Short pass, long pass, dribbling breakthrough, long shot, teamwork, Millwall has not only cultivated the team's super technical and tactical qualities, but also because the characteristics of the players selected by Aldridge when building the team are very comprehensive. Comprehensive, one player cannot be proficient in all eighteen martial arts, but a team, 11 players, can do this. Just talking about offense, there is no Millwall who can't, and on the basis of knowing , All of them have first-class abilities.

Heathfield is racking his brains here to think of ways to deal with it. He is almost driven crazy by his own brainstorming. It is strange, really strange, like Zidane's ability and public recognition. It surpasses Pirlo, but if Pirlo is replaced by Zidane in Millwall, Heathfield will think that Millwall may not be able to play such a terrifying dominance, and then match other players. De Ved, Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, especially Larson, as he gets older, Larson is not as sharp as before, and he can be replaced by other similar wingers, and he will not feel that the replacement will Making Millwall's attack stronger would even reduce the threat.

This is the jigsaw puzzle effect that football circles often talk about when building a lineup. Fans will say that the strongest 11 players can form the strongest team in history. In fact, it is impossible. The strongest players may not be able to form the strongest team. The best team, and the strongest team may not necessarily have the strongest players.

Hitzfeld was helpless on the sidelines, and discussions with his assistants went nowhere.

In the cat-and-mouse game at the tactical level, he is like Tom the cat, Aldrich is like Jerry the mouse, and the cat can't catch the mouse no matter what.

In the 41st minute of the game, Bayern Munich full-back Sagnol took the initiative to grab. He really couldn't hold back. The back line and the midfielder line were torn apart. What was caught in the middle was Millwall's trident. Sagnol I think this game is so fucking ridiculous!

Ronaldinho actually moved around Jeremiah, as if ignoring Sagnol.

Sagnol really wanted to say to him: Brother, I am your opponent!

Seeing his teammates being played at the back waistline, Sagnol rushed up with a fluke mentality. He believed that as long as Bayern Munich's defenders go up, they will be able to push Millwall back, and then find Bayern Munich's established goal. Counterattack opportunities in tactics.

As soon as he went up, the Millwall strike group saw this immediately.

Pirlo took the initiative to pass the ball to Ronaldinho, and Sagnol was overjoyed. He thought that as long as he was not broken by Ronaldinho, then there would be no problem in defense.

But he was wrong, absolutely wrong. When Millwall controlled the attack like this. It is also a kind of teasing and seduction. Anyway, the players don't understand what Aldridge means by surrounding the point to help, but as long as Bayern Munich's defenders move, the probability of opportunities will be very high, because the horizontal defensive area of ​​​​the opponent's defenders will expand.

Sure enough, Sagnol went up, and Ronaldinho dribbled to the outside to open the gap at the moment of receiving the ball, and then knocked the ball behind him with his heel.

He received the ball with his back to the Bayern Munich goal and knocked the ball with his heel. The ball naturally rolled towards Bayern Munich's penalty area.

Sagnol didn't expect Ronaldinho to come like this, and cursed in his heart: Do you really have eyes in the back of your fucking head?

Subconsciously, he stretched out his feet to intercept it, almost scratching his head!

Sagnol watched helplessly as the ball rolled over less than half a meter away from his toes and rolled behind him.

Who will be behind?

Henry!

Henry on the side!

Obviously, Sagnol pushed forward, and the space on this side came out. When Pirlo passed the ball, Henry started to start. Although Ronaldinho's pass was a little bit wide, the space was indeed caught by Henry.

Henry led the ball forward. Approaching the bottom line, Link came to block it. Henry quickly made a cross pass, and Link turned his head to look, feeling as cold as ice!

Nedved kills!

Hargreaves, Jeremiah, Kufuor, including Kahn who gave up the goal, Nedved was caught in a double-team, but at the moment of contact with the ball, Nedved lightly arched his foot He kicked the ball diagonally and fell into the Bayern Munich penalty area. He was trying to avoid Kufuor's flying tackle and the ball rolled away from Kufuor's body to the other side.

It was Larson and Lizarazu fighting for speed again. This time, Larson blocked Lizarazu behind him. When he rushed two meters in front of the ball, he and Lizarazu shoveled at the same time. They all went towards the ball, but Larsson was faster, the gap was only a flash, and Larsson's toes poked the ball into Bayern Munich's goal!

Larson! The hero king Larson in the heart of Wild Lions fans scored! 2:0! Millwall scored another goal before the end of the first half! This killer who has almost broken through the gates of all the giants in Europe Once again, he demonstrated his extraordinary ability to capture fighters!

Hitzfeld bowed his head and let out a long sigh on the sidelines.

How could Millwall be so strong?

With this kind of ball, as long as each link is slow by one second, one shot, or even one breath, Millwall may not score a goal.

Ronaldinho's pass is a stroke of genius, Henry's comprehensiveness in pulling the ball, decisive timing of the ball, Nedved's calm assist, and Larsson's timely outflank.

If one person loses the chain, the attack will come back in vain!

This is why Heathfield denied the assistant's suggestion that the back line press forward. It was just that Sagnor's vacancy exposed at one point led to the loss of the ball. If he dared to let the entire back line press up, Millwall saved his cooperation. Pirlo, Ronaldinho, just pass the ball over the top, boom boom, the goal is done.

Millwall players enjoyed this game very much, because they knew how strong the opponent's will to win, and Bayern Munich is also a well-known European team that relies on the whole team, smashing all the efforts of the opponent in terms of teamwork, such satisfaction Feeling, so that they can not help but enjoy.

There was a smile on Aldrich's handsome face. He was also enjoying the game, or in other words, he was waiting and counting down.

2:0

The game isn't over yet.

There is still suspense.

However, if Bayern Munich does not move again, then, when the game becomes no suspense and enters garbage time, Aldridge's wait is over.

Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, Hitzfeld's assistant asked in a low voice, How should we adjust at halftime?

Hitzfeld remained expressionless, and said indifferently: There is only one last solution left. I don't want to use it, but I have to use it. Anyway, if we lose the game, the outside world will not think that Bayern Munich has taken away its dignity from here.

His assistant pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: Could it be that the second set of established tactics is to be used?

For such a critical game, it is impossible for the head coach to be unprepared. Although the changes on the court are unpredictable and there will be many accidents on the spot, in the preparation work, at least think about how to play the game when the tie is tied, how to play when you are ahead, and how to play when you are behind. How to play at different times, as for different time periods, you can respond flexibly.

The second set of established tactics that Hitzfeld's assistant mentioned was prepared by the Bayern Munich coaching staff before the game, based on the lead, in order to keep the fruits of victory.

Now the score is behind, but he is forced to use it. The assistant feels a little sad in his heart. The German giants, being forced to this point in the away game by the contemporary European champions, make him very depressed.

No matter what the final result is, we have played against Millwall in the past few years, and we have realized the definition and strength of the strongest. The Millwall team, as well as their coach Aldrich Hall, lost to them, although Not reconciled, but had to admit defeat, there is no fluke.

Before walking into the player tunnel, Hitzfeld said this to his colleagues in the coaching staff. (to be continued...) ()
