The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves and Qingqing Little Wolf for their rewards!

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

Camp Nou was silent.

The voice of shouting Barça disappeared.

Only 20 minutes, Barcelona fans, the fire of hope for the team's comeback against Millwall began to go out.

In the stands, sat a Barcelona legend and godfather, Cruyff.

The current Barcelona is hard to say that it is his ideal Barcelona. The passing and controlling style is out of the question. Looking at the player configuration and characteristics, you can know the style of this team. It must not be the ideal passing and controlling skills and tactics. .

Rivaldo, Overmars, these are all players who put more emphasis on individual ability, and midfielder Cocu and Roschenback's style of play, how do you expect them to establish a strong midfield advantage through pass control, Then can keep in touch with the striker to provide strong support?

In Cruyff's eyes, it is Millwall who has the golden midfield configuration.

Gattuso's main defense, Nedved's main attack, and Pirlo's scheduling organization, what a clear division of labor!

With Pirlo as the center, with defensive support at the back and offensive cover at the front, he is the heart, commander, and brain of Millwall's overall skills and tactics!

At this stage in Barcelona, ​​there is already a similar organization core, but because of the young age, the coach dare not use it. To put it bluntly, he feels that the risk is too great!

Xavi is already in the first team. He was promoted before Van Gaal left. It is said that he is young, and he is also 22 years old. Compared with Pirlo, is his youth an untrustworthy excuse?

Cruyff shook his head and sighed, Pirlo's growth. It was Aldridge who cultivated it single-handedly. He had no doubt that if Aldridge was the coach of Barcelona. For a player like Harvey, maybe two years. It was already in place three years ago!

Although the current Barcelona coach Rexach used to be his assistant, he was not his puppet. It is impossible for Cruyff to let Rexach completely listen to him.

Judging from these two games and the performance in the league, Rexach's days in Barcelona are coming to an end.

Cruyff watched the game for another five minutes before leaving early in disappointment, not even watching the first half.

Because Barcelona is cowardly,

Withdrew to defend at home.

After Rexach conceded the first goal, he was in a panic.

Losing 3:6 away is already a nightmare. Losing another big score at home, he couldn't imagine to what extent the anger of the Barcelona fans would burn.

No matter how calm he was before the game, he encouraged the whole team to try to reverse the game at home. When Barcelona conceded the first goal, he knew that the reversal was impossible. Even now, a bigger crisis lay before him: Camp Nou Will fall!

Must defend, no more goals for Millwall!

Rexach was at a loss at this time, and he didn't dare to hope to reverse his opponent, keep the tie at home, and retain his dignity symbolically. This is his greatest hope now.

However, things backfired!

He suddenly asked Barcelona to take back to defend on the spot, and the players on the field were at a loss. This is not only different from what the head coach emphasized during the preparations and before the game, but it is the ultimate opposite!

When preparing for the game, I have been studying how to attack. Before the game, the locker room even boasted that we can reverse the opponent.

Have you started denying yourself before 30 minutes into the game?

Barcelona is somewhat inconsistent on the field, some people want to attack, some people want to defend, especially the defense, the second game has not yet been played. Already scored the seventh goal by Millwall, as a defence. This is no longer a matter of saving face, after the last confrontation. The attacks and accusations they have received are simply a shame and a shame!

As a result, there was a disconnect between the front and back field formations on the Barcelona field!

Aldridge saw that Barcelona's front line was stretched and the three lines could not be closely integrated, and he immediately guessed that the opponent's ego collapsed!

How could Millwall miss such an opportunity?

Pirlo firmly controls the initiative in the midfield, and he also feels relaxed, because Barcelona's strikers do not participate in defense. First of all, there is almost no pressure behind him, and he does not worry about being robbed. He can focus on his offensive talents.

In the 32nd minute, Pirlo instigated a forward attack from midfield.

Pass the ball to Schneider, the opponent takes a step forward and then passes the ball back to Pirlo who is running forward.

Then pass to Ronaldinho, and then pass back to him after two steps, Nedved, Larson.

When Larson passed the ball back to Pirlo, Pirlo had advanced all the way to Barcelona's penalty area, and formed a single-handed trend.

Facing the goalkeeper Bonano, Pirlo made an understatement and cleverly shot the dead corner, and staged a goal like spring and snow!

2:0, Millwall led Barcelona with a total score of 8:3. This goal is almost as beautiful as poetry. It is very ordinary to watch Pirlo score alone, but if we watch the whole offensive process, we can find that Pirlo from instigation From attacking to breaking the goal, every pass of his, Millwall's offensive player's running position, passing and cutting cooperation are superb, even Henry, who has never touched the ball, has played a very good role in restraining the defense on the front line. Pirlo's technical movements in handling the ball are concise and clear. Before he touches the ball, he has already thought about how to play the ball without being muddled. This is Millwall, who can play violent and oppressive attacks as well as Destroy the opponent layer by layer like peeling off the cocoon.

Pirlo and his teammates celebrated at the Nou Camp, and Aldridge jumped out when he saw the goal, screaming wildly.

The scoring process was picturesque, and Aldridge had no reason not to be excited.

In the passionate April, Millwall is naturally aiming at the last peak May.

European powers, are you ready?

Are you ready to tremble?

Rexach's mind went blank.

Offensive, lost the ball.

Defense, lost the ball.

Mahler Gobi, what should we do?

The players on the Barcelona field were very frustrated. Seven days ago, they lost a 3:6 in London. Three days ago, they were tied at home by the relegation team Las Palmas. The league championship can be declared out. Now they are 0:2 behind at home, what team are they wearing?

Barcelona!

It is the goal champion, a team that aims to grab honors at all times!

within a week. The two fronts failed to compete for the championship, and the players had negative emotions in their hearts. It's normal!

No player will join Barcelona and not pursue the championship!

This is the level, status, attitude and ambition of this team.

Now that it has fallen to this point, the players on the field don't care what the head coach thinks on the sidelines.

Facts have proved that in the contest with Millwall in the early 120 minutes, the head coach's formation and on-the-spot command failed to lead the team to victory. Even now it's getting worse.

The charismatic players in the team boost the morale of the team and unify the thinking of the whole team: don't think about the score, don't think about whether to advance or be eliminated. In the Nou Camp, you must play the momentum of Barcelona, ​​for nothing else, just for the stands in the stands One hundred thousand fans wearing Barcelona jerseys!

The players on the Barcelona field reached an agreement after some exchanges. After the re-kick-off, they played the usual tactics, and it happened that Rexach was completely different. I don't know how to deal with the current situation, I can only let the players play freely.

At the same time, Barcelona has strengthened its defensive aggression, and its actions are a bit too big. Every fight is murderous.

In this way, Millwall has an advantage tactically, but in personal confrontation, Millwall has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

Aldrich naturally discovered this, but he did not make any adjustments. Even though Ronaldinho's active avoidance occurred, he remained indifferent.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not tolerate it, but at this time. He can turn a blind eye.

To put it bluntly, Barcelona is now barefoot. Millwall is for shoes.

I can't compete with you!

Why should I fight head-on with you?

8:3.

I'm 5 balls ahead of you.

I'm going to the semi-finals, and I'm targeting the final.

I was bitten by you mad dogs here. What to do?

This is the mentality of the players at this time, so seeing that Barcelona had gone too far, Millwall simply took the initiative to take it back, balance it out, and stop playing oppressive attacks.

Aldrich also felt that it was really not worthwhile for the main players to be injured at this time, not at all, even if they scored another 10 goals for Barcelona, ​​they would lose money!

So he can tolerate players lowering their awareness of confrontation, which is actually excessive self-protection!

Barcelona's hard work paid off, and before the end of the first half, Kluivert scored a header to make it 1:2.

Rexach finally came back to his senses at halftime and found that Kluivert had scored a goal. He felt that Barcelona might have something to play like this!

So Barcelona played this way in the second half.

Since the opponent did not play art and went wild, Aldridge did not pretend to be an elegant gentleman. As soon as the second half came up, Millwall played defensively, had no chance to counterattack, and controlled the midfield. Anyway, as long as Millwall did not shrink from the scene Just be completely defensive.

Rexach scolded all eighteen generations of Aldrich's ancestors.

Millwall stopped attacking again, and turned to a sudden wave of raids.

In the 66th minute, Henry single-handedly entered the penalty area against offside and was knocked down by De Boer when defending from the back. Millwall won a penalty. Larson made a shot and the score was rewritten to 3:1. Millwall continued The away team leads by two goals.

After the ball, Aldridge changed players, and the trident was withdrawn. Klose, Villa, and Lamour went up to charge, and Nedved retreated to strengthen the defense at the same time.

Ten minutes later, Lamore assisted Klose with a cross from the wing to make another goal, and the Nou Camp was booed everywhere!

The red-eyed Barcelona relied on Overmars' supplementary shot in front of the goal at the last moment of the game to get back a goal, but the overall situation was set at this time.

Barcelona fans can't accept seeing the team experience another disastrous defeat at home. The reversal preached before the game really didn't flash a minute of hope.

In stoppage time, Roschenback rushed forward and fouled Pirlo, making Aldridge yell at Rexach angrily.

If you lose, you lose! There is only 1 fucking minute left in the game and it will be over! What are your players doing? Can you score 5 goals in 1 minute? Don't say it's fighting will, his pedaling is rogue Behavior!

Rexach saw another side of Aldrich. He always thought that this young marshal was elegant, gentle, and brave enough to be the champion. Now, he looked at him, almost no different from the boss on the street who took the lead to find fault.

Look, Millwall's coaching staff are all behind him, frosty and angry!

Think about it too, if Pirlo is injured, will Millwall win or lose this game?

After the first round, they basically announced that they had advanced to the semi-finals.

Aldridge made an attack here, but the coaching staff of Barcelona refused to respond. Rexach turned around and took two steps back, not wanting to conflict with Aldridge, and he was at a loss.

Fortunately, Pirlo is fine, otherwise Aldridge really felt that the game was not worth the loss. In the final sprint stage, many players in the team are indispensable, and the importance of Pirlo must be ranked among the top three in the team.

After 180 minutes of battle, the quarter-finals of the Champions League came to an end. The defending champion Millwall and Barcelona ended with 6:3 in the first round and 4:2 in the second round. The total score, Millwall Millwall defeated Barcelona 10:5 to advance to the semi-finals. The second round was far less exciting than the first round, but they double-killed La Liga giants at home and away. Millwall deserves to be the number one team in Europe. The biggest favorites, what they are most concerned about now is the result of tomorrow's match, which will determine their opponents in the semi-finals, perhaps, they don't care, because it seems that no team can beat them.
