The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

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

At the beginning of the second half, Millwall did not press up all of a sudden like it did at the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the game, they took advantage of the advantages of the home field and the influence of factors such as better preparations to enter the game state faster and caught the opponent by surprise.

But at the beginning of the second half, under Aldridge's urging, Millwall must first be alert to whether Barcelona has any unexpected killer moves, so he slows down the rhythm first, does not invest too much in the attack, and sees what the opponent has. Recover the defeat.

But after watching for ten minutes, Barcelona didn't have any fresh killers in terms of player positions or offensive running routines, and Millwall unscrupulously displayed their oppressive offense.

In the 58th minute, Ronaldinho made a pass from the left. Larson was waiting at the back. Unfortunately, De Boer took the lead to clear the ball with a header. De Boer's clearance ball went to the outside of the penalty area, and Pirlo was on the outside. Controlling the landing point, Roschenback guarded the fortress position in the middle, Pirlo dribbled the ball to the right, then kicked the ball at 45 degrees near the side, and made another pass.

The ball made Henry miserable.

Heading is not his strong point. The less technical ability he has, the players will subconsciously avoid using it. He is not used to it and has no confidence!

Pirlo's ball bypassed Barcelona's first central defender, and De Boer headed out. At this time, he couldn't stop the ball even if he turned around. However, the ball was a chest-high cross. Henry had a chance to outflank it. But he was uncertain in the process of rushing forward.

Should I bend down and use my head? Or use other body parts to send the ball into the goal?

How can there be time for him to think and make a choice?

Other body parts are out of reach. Henry finally used the conventional method. header!

So he rushed forward and hit the ball with his head. But in the process of his hesitation, he missed the opportunity of the fighter. Maybe it was only 0.1 seconds. The ball flew past his shiny head. If he had hair, especially an afro, he would definitely touch it. Ball!

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Feeling a gust of cool wind blowing in front of his forehead, Henry was so ashamed that he couldn't help but feel ashamed: I'm so close to practicing iron head skills. If you can really practice it, is it considered a great accomplishment?

In the next second, Henry heard a muffled thud, and his eyes blurred, as if a shooting star flew by before his eyes, flying straight to Barcelona's goal.

Goalkeeper Bonano didn't respond, and Abelardo, who was following Henry, just thought it was a false alarm, but now, the whole person fell into hell again.

Henry turned his head to look. Nedved was getting up from the ground and he missed the outflanking point. But Nedved arrived at the back and dived bravely to send the ball into the goal.

Henry was so admiring that he was about to burst into tears: Hero!

Nedved stood up and gave Henry a sunny smile...

Barcelona's defense was about to collapse.

Their conceded goal rate in La Liga is almost 1 per game, but today, in less than 60 minutes, they have already scored their fifth goal!

The defensive players looked at the Millwall players who were celebrating, as if they were seeing ghosts!

Terrified.

The king's division that dominates European football in the contemporary era, with the most attacking firepower!

5:2, Nedved scored twice and widened the score gap to 3 goals. Maybe Barcelona can defend against Millwall's frontal attack. After all, they are a giant in La Liga and their players are good. However, Without taking the initiative to strengthen the defense, their continuous attack against Millwall, the second and third attacks have nothing to do, especially the control of the landing point in the outer area, which is obviously at a disadvantage, which is why other teams will use 7 Individuals, 8 people, or even 9 people are defending in the midfield. Only more people can fill the huge space in the backcourt. It is very difficult to give Millwall continuous pressure to launch waves of attacks. It's a pity that maybe Barcelona didn't realize that.

Rexach reacted very decisively this time, cheering and encouraging the players on the field, yelling that there was still time, yelling to continue attacking and get back the score, even though his face was already so blue that he seemed to have a strange disease.

Boas moved his position and came behind Aldridge. Usually, he would not disturb Aldridge during the game, but seeing that Aldridge seemed very relaxed today, he took the opportunity to ask for advice.

Hey, Aldridge, will Barcelona play like this today, will other teams realize that our defense is really not as strong as the data shows?

To be honest, Millwall's defensive statistics are very good. The average number of goals conceded per game is only 0.5. This is still counting the appearance data of the young lineup, but it is like Barcelona being filled with 5 goals in 60 minutes. The ball was only close to 1, and Millwall also conceded 2 goals today, which is 4 times that reflected in the data.

Villas, don't be obsessed with data research. What is the source of Millwall's defensive data? It is our offense that oppresses the opponent, forcing the opponent to weaken the offense and strengthen the defense, so that the pressure on our defense is not great. It has been tested. The important reason is that there are not many times. If we are a conservative team and focus on defense, then the defensive data can best reflect the defensive ability.

Boas nodded, and then asked again: Then if other opponents are like Barcelona, ​​and in the game, we are unlucky and the opponent is super lucky, isn't it more likely that we will lose instead?

Heh, how many teams in European football do you think can have Barcelona's offensive configuration. Barcelona's attack group, on paper alone, is powerful. In the dislocation, Overmars and Kluivert The cooperation between the side and the center, the support and interaction provided by team players like Enrique to Rivaldo, and the striker partnership between Kluivert and Rivaldo, just these three routines can generate very powerful offensive power. If you count Cocu who can attack, how many teams do you think can match Barcelona's configuration? Then again, because Barcelona's offensive configuration is very strong, it may give them the opportunity to play against us here. The courage to attack.

After Aldridge finished speaking, he continued to watch the game.

Boas took out his notebook and began to write notes.

In fact, as Boas said, in such a scene. able to beat Millwall. Only luck.

The 71st minute. Aldrich was really taken aback by what Boas said.

Let him think that Barcelona really had some shit luck.

In the second half, Barcelona tried to hit Millwall's through pass behind him, but failed once. In addition to the success of Millwall's offside tactics, it also included the defense line guarantee brought by Gattuso's deep retreat.

So Rivaldo retreated during the attack and began to show off from a distance. Without any interference, his long-range shot stuck to the ground and blasted towards the lower left corner of the goal. Bout was well prepared. Immediately after the opponent's shot, he moved to the left of the goal, but Southgate stretched out his foot to try to block the ball halfway, causing the ball to change direction. Looking back, Bute was dumbfounded, and Southgate was also dumbfounded.

The ball rolled in from the right side of the goal!

Own goal? Rivaldo's long-range shot was blocked by Southgate, changed direction at a large angle, and finally scored the goal. Barcelona came back from the cliff again. 5:3, the crazy game continues. ! God only knows what score this match will end up in!

Southgate made a hasty move. So after blocking the ball, he has a slipping action. Looking back and seeing the ball rolling into his gate, he knelt on one knee for 5 seconds, lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, he waved to Zambrotta who came over to try to comfort him.

Whether it will be counted as an own goal or not, what is this? hit? No shit!

Southgate's expression remained firm as usual, unaffected in the slightest.

When Rexach saw Barcelona recovering another one, he was very excited, but he also had a difficult time.

5:3, definitely better than 2:0, 3:1, 4:2!

But with five goals scored by Millwall, who would have confidence in Barcelona returning to home with a two-goal win over Millwall and not allowing their opponents to score three goals or more?

The gap between the top teams in Europe is actually within one goal.

That is to say, draw the opponent at home, or win the opponent by one goal, 1:0 or 2:1, 3:2. It’s not too bad, just like Hitzfeld, who entered the palace for the second time in 2007, led Bayern Munich to be a guest at the Bernabeu and was defeated by Real Madrid 3:2. When the final whistle sounded, Hitzfeld would smile and shake hands with his assistants to celebrate , because this is the reality between top teams, it doesn't matter if Bayern Munich loses a goal first away, they have 2 away goals, did Hitzfeld laugh early? No, in the second round, Bayern Munich eliminated Real Madrid 2:1 at home.

This is the gap between the top teams, that is, the basic status quo of the game of the first-class mid-upstream teams. It is difficult to apply it to Millwall, because Millwall is already at a super-class level!

Barcelona only lost one away game, and there may be a little fluke, returning home to beat Millwall by one, relying on the advantage of away goals to advance to the top 4.

Now they're two away from home and two at home to win Millwall?

Sorry, not to mention that Millwall is now in full swing. In the entire history of the European War, the Millwall club has never lost to an opponent by two goals or more in an away game.

In the knockout round, they only lost to Bayern Munich, the score was 1:0 in 90 minutes.

Rexach gritted his teeth: Bet, fight!

In the second half, Kluivert's role was not obvious, so he replaced the Dutch center with Saviola, trying to use these technical players to create threats.

Seven minutes after he replaced Saviola, Millwall won a direct free kick in an excellent position in front of the penalty area.

In fact, when the fifth ball was lost, Barcelona began to strengthen the aggressiveness of the backcourt defense. Since conventional methods cannot stop Millwall's attack, fouls must be used!

if not?

Pirlo stood in front of the ball, and after the referee blew his whistle, he performed the deciduous ball stunt. The ball passed through the cracks in the Barcelona wall and fell quickly in front of the goal line. Bonano flew to save and had a chance to touch To the ball, because the angle of the ball is not too tricky, but the sudden drop of the ball prevented Bonano's palm from completely blocking the ball. The ball touched under his palm, and then continued to fly into the goal.

6:3! Pirlo scored a direct free kick! Beautiful goal, this goal feast is not over yet, it's not over yet! Will there be a tenth ball? Will it?

Aldrich stood up and applauded, while nodding with a smile.

Rivaldo refracted one from a long shot, and Pirlo scored a direct free kick. It was considered a return. Any luck? Even if there is, it's still fair.

Aldridge walked to the sidelines for the first time in this game, and he made a substitution adjustment.

It's 6:3, and the time is up to 80 minutes.

Millwall replaced two players at a time, Larsson was replaced by Pedretti, Pirlo was replaced by Alonso, it seems that Hall is very satisfied with the current score, we need to control the rhythm of the game , strengthen the defense, and no longer give Barcelona any chance to shorten the gap.

When Rexach saw Millwall's substitution adjustment, his whole face turned green! (to be continued..) ()
