The Young Lion

Before the battle with Real Madrid, Millwall actually prepared two sets of targeted arrangements, which will be implemented based on the opponent's starting lineup.

The first is the arrangement that scored the goal just now. The final fatal blow is aimed at Pavon's point. The most threatening attack will be launched in Pavon's defense zone.

The second is that Elguera replaces Pavan as a central defender, then Millwall will become a strong attacking midfielder. After all, Makelele is not a god. Even if he played well at Millwall, Nedved retreated The defensive contribution and help brought by the defense, so in Aldridge's mind, Makelele is very good, but not irreplaceable, but so far, he still cannot find a successor for Nedved, whether it is Joe Cole or Kaka, if Nedved retreats to the second line in the future, Millwall's entire midfield system will undergo drastic changes, because neither Kaka nor Joe Cole can bring Nedved's defensive effect.

Real Madrid focuses on offense and despise defense. According to their configuration, there may not be too many hidden dangers in a first-class contest, but when encountering a super-class opponent like Millwall, a single hidden danger will definitely affect the overall situation. If it is made up for, other loopholes will be exposed in other points. This is a flaw, and the only way to change it is to make up for it in the transfer market.

Larsson's goal completely brought the game from the balance of the first 15 minutes to the extreme.

Real Madrid have no way out, no space to hesitate, tick tock, time is ticking and Millwall won't play until they figure out what to do.

Attack it!

Real Madrid was a little slower, and after conceding the ball, it also started to tilt from the balance to the offense, Carlos. Salgado. Erguela's position. The offensive investment of the running route can be seen intuitively. It is precisely because of the forward pressure of the backcourt players that the forward pressure of the frontcourt offensive players can be pushed forward!

In the 23rd minute, Raul's long-range shot was blocked by Bute, Real Madrid got a corner kick, and Elguera's header went over the bar!

Two minutes later, Nedved passed Henry in front of the penalty area. The moment Henry kicked the door, Hierro fell to the ground and blocked the bottom line.

Millwall took a tactical corner kick, and Ronaldinho directly hung the goal at a 45-degree angle outside the penalty area!

Casillas struggled to save and blocked the ball behind the goal, Carlos made a clearance!

The scene became exciting all of a sudden. Both teams could quickly advance the offense to the frontcourt, because the players on both sides had strong ball control ability. When defending, they did not dare to intercept layers. The defense line retreated. Elastic movement near the penalty area line.

The 29th minute. Real Madrid attacked from the right and Figo made a long pass.

After Raul stopped the ball in the chest, he passed the ball to Carlos on the wing. Raul ran into the penalty area and Carlos took the ball forward.

Schneider consciously blocked Carlos' bottom pass, because Real Madrid has high center forward Morientes, and the power of grabbing points in front of the goal cannot be underestimated.

However, Carlos unreasonably cut inward to the middle, and a long-range heavy artillery came from a distance of almost 35 yards!

The ball was played so fast that Materazzi, who was on the route, didn't even react, and was directly hit in the chest by the football.

The tough guy Materazzi fell directly to the ground!

After a frontal block by him, the ball bounced back. Some of the strength was removed, but it still fell from the air. Outside the penalty area, the ball just bounced off the ground, and Zidane volleyed it directly with his left foot!

The ball flew towards Millwall's goal in an arc, Bout reacted a little slower, because his attention was focused on Carlos' long shot, the ball suddenly bounced out and then bounced back, and the angle was extremely tricky, He tried his best to save but could not recover.

The ball brushed the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the upper left corner of the goal!

Zidane, flying fairy!

The thanked Zidane waved his arms and roared furiously. The whole Real Madrid team ran towards him.

What a goal! Zidane scored an unbelievable shot from distance, he was within 12 yards of Materazzi, giving him time to react and think as the ball bounced back. Less than a second, but he slammed the ball into the goal of Millwall with his left foot, no stop, no adjustment, fantastic long shot!

Florentino's face in the stands looked better. He looked down on Arthur beside him, because when Millwall scored, Arthur stood up happily and twisted his big buttocks as if he was dancing. When Real Madrid scored, Arthur But Se curled his lips and said, Lucky shit!.

Even if it's really shit luck, isn't it a little too much for you to say it? And it was a voice that could be heard by two or three people around.

Smiling like Florentino, how aristocratic.

The old coach Bosque was also infected by Zidane's goal, and he stood up with his assistant and yelled.

Aldridge watched Zidane score a long shot and was stunned for two seconds.

Because from the position and the trajectory of the shot ball, it looks like Zidane was supposed to overthrow Leverkusen in the final.

However, after the sluggishness passed, he recovered his expression, with a smile on his face.

You have to admit, this is the power of Real Madrid superstars!

Real Madrid spent a lot of money to buy, isn't it just this kind of player who doesn't seem to be an opportunity, but can bring goals?

Aldridge walked to the sidelines and gestured to the players, reminding them to be flexible and not to be too brainy!

The higher the level of competition, the greater the pressure. The performance of the players and the overall performance of the team may fall into rigid thinking.

To improve this, the head coach needs to give frequent on-the-spot instructions.

It’s like if you see a top-level team always threatening their opponents with an offensive routine, it’s likely that the players are too focused in a fast-paced game, and instead can’t calm down and think about it. Try a different way of thinking and approach to threaten the opponent.

Aldridge is not worried, Millwall has an obvious advantage.

To be honest, the offense of both teams is top-notch, and the two teams are just about the same in terms of defense, but Millwall is more active, and the defense is more holistic. Therefore, Millwall's defense is better than Real Madrid. Like Real Madrid, they can't play. A threatening ball that goes straight into the penalty area. And Millwall here. Henry will be able to get kicks in the penalty area.

Millwall's first goal was a smack. The fact that the large force overwhelmed Hierro forced Real Madrid's midfielder to help defend, thus exposing the gap on Pavon's side.

Aldridge asked the players to be more flexible, just to let them not always use a routine. Real Madrid lost the first goal and suffered a loss. If you suffer from a fall, you will learn your wisdom. How can you easily make it again?

In the 38th minute, Millwall launched a fatal offensive from Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho single-handedly attacked the inside line. Before reaching the dangerous zone, the two midfielders of Real Madrid would not step forward to intercept, and they dared not expose the space behind them.

Nedved, Larson, and Pirlo, who came up with the assist, all gathered near Pavon's defense area. Pavon, who was frightened, was almost flanked by three directions. The boy is about to collapse. If Ronaldinho plays the ball there, they are likely to suffer from this kid's defense.

So Makelele moved over there to escort Pavon. Carlos also came in, but Ronaldinho passed the ball to Henry at this time.

Henry took the initiative to run back from the penalty area, pulling away the distance of more than two meters from Hierro. He turned his back to the Real Madrid goal. After Ronaldinho passed the ball, Henry touched the ball with his toes and deliberately provoked the ball directly on the spot. , when the ball rose in front of him, Henry half-turned on the spot and swung his legs, and also volleyed with his feet!

Casillas is going crazy!

Who are the people on the opposite side!

Larson didn't stop the ball and hit the goal directly. After all, he was in time for the ball to hit the goal. Volley hit the door.

Henry stopped the ball on the spot, and with his back to the penalty area, he picked up the ball by himself, turned around and hit the volley directly!

Mahler Gobi.

When Casillas saw the ball, the ball had already flown almost 2/5 of the distance in the air and entered the penalty area!

He moved two steps to the left, then lowered his head helplessly.

The ball crossed an arc, fell from the sky, and rushed into the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal like a flying fire meteor!

The whole place was silent, and there was no sound.

What kind of opportunity is this?

A striker with his back to the goal outside the penalty area stops the ball himself to pick it up, then turns around and volleys the ball into the opponent's goal.

There is no doubt that Henry's kick is comparable to Zidane's goal just now.

Flying fairy outside the sky, if you fly, I will fly too!

Henry scored a stunning goal! How did he do it? How did he do it? The ball played so easily and beautifully at his feet, picked it up, turned around and volleyed with force, Goals! As expected of the battle of the century, the superstars of Millwall and Real Madrid are showing their talents, and they made the game beyond imagination! 2:1, goals continue, Millwall leads for the time being!

Henry was caught by Ronaldinho before he ran two steps. Ronaldinho stroked his bald head and kept patting his chest, as if admiring his god-level goal just now!

Aldridge showed a wild smile on the sidelines, turned his head and shouted at the coaching staff: That's right! This is what they want, and what we and the fans want to see!

The members of the coaching staff who rushed out of the coaching bench to celebrate all understood what Aldridge said. The excitement brought by this game, the opening and closing scenes of the game, and the ability to show Millwall's offensive football to the fullest, against ordinary opponents, they wanted to Is it possible to kick like this? Henry was surrounded by water, how could he have the opportunity to display such an ability?

It's not that Real Madrid wanted to give Henry such space, but they were forced into this situation by Millwall.

What about 1:1?

Real Madrid started from the first conceded goal. The goal of this game is not to keep the tie and win, but to win!

Bosque regained his poker face, his face sinking like water.

The stars of Real Madrid stood in the kick-off formation. In fact, everyone knew what the problem was, but there was no way to say it, and it was useless. It would only make the whole team fall into conflicts of mutual blame.

This point of Pavon is a weakness, Hierro is also old, Henry went out, Hierro didn't keep up, and he would hesitate, should he follow? Follow Henry and then break into the penalty area, can the 34-year-old Hierro keep up?

Therefore, Real Madrid's two defensive midfielders have a very strong awareness of filling positions. In fact, the most important thing is that Real Madrid's midfielder is not strong enough to return to the frontcourt. Who dares to accuse Zidane of not retreating to the penalty area to defend? Who can say that Figo and Raul will also come back to put some pressure on Ronaldinho?

It's not even good to blame Pavon. His strength is just like that, and it's not that he has performed abnormally. He is indeed not good enough for such a level of confrontation. It would be unreasonable to blame him.

If Real Madrid can introduce one or two top defenders, at least some of their weaknesses will not be visible, and there will still be problems with the overall system, at least stronger than it is now. (to be continued...) ()
