The Young Lion

After losing the ball, Southgate immediately whispered to Zambrotta. They are not afraid of Real Madrid's positional warfare, they are afraid of Real Madrid's counterattack. Real Madrid's counterattack has both organizational master Zidane and personal ability Figo who creates opportunities, coupled with high center forward Morientes and agile Raul, even if Millwall compresses the defensive space in the backcourt, it is still not enough, no, because you will always lose someone in an instant, even if you follow The rhythm of the opponent still needs to be constantly adjusted, and the marking target must be constantly switched.

The defense cannot be completely man-to-man. The most important thing is the area. On the basis of the area defense, Southgate has to retreat to play a back-up, which is equivalent to a sweeper. If there was a sweeper just now, Someone can keep up with Raul's movement.

Southgate just asked Zambrotta to take back the center. If Zambrotta is counterattacked again, Zambrotta will be the central defender. This must be clearly communicated face-to-face with teammates to confirm responsibilities, otherwise the responsible defense zone cannot be clarified.

As for why you didn't tell Schneider about this, the reason is clear at a glance. Schneider's stature and central defender are really bad, especially if you want to defend Morientes one-on-one, you will be crushed in all directions and can be crushed by the opponent. Carrying and walking, restricting the opponent's high center forward to stop and play the ball in the penalty area is the basic requirement for defending this type of center forward. Zambrotta is obviously more reliable than Schneider.

2:3

Millwall is still one goal ahead, and the players on the field are not upset about conceding a goal. Even if they are one goal behind now, it will not have much impact. On the contrary, they only have a stronger fighting spirit.

Was hit a wave of fatal counterattack!

Then try to prevent the opponent from even getting a chance to fight back!

After the re-kick-off, Henry retreated from the front line, and he found that the more top was in front. On the contrary, it is easier to give Real Madrid two midfielders the opportunity to accurately fill the position. on the contrary. It is easier to create chaos in Real Madrid's defense when he rushes forward from the midfielder in attack.

Real Madrid pulled back a goal and their morale was boosted. After the re-kick-off, they pressed forward, trying to get the score back in one go, but Millwall pressed them back!

Millwall once again entered the rhythm of suppressing Real Madrid, and because Henry retreated to support, Millwall's offense was more controlled. On the contrary, Real Madrid did not have enough pressure to return to the defense in the frontcourt, which caused Millwall to constantly destroy the nerves of Real Madrid's defensive players.

Makelele and Elguera frequently make up their positions, and their range of activities is very large. The positive significance is to protect Real Madrid's defense, and the negative impact is physical problems, especially since Elguera has to rush forward from time to time to support the offense.

In the 59th minute, Nedved almost pierced the Real Madrid goal with a long-range shot. Casillas staged a superb save. After he made the save, Larsson almost stole the ball from Pavon.

Pavon was so scared that he drove the ball out of the bottom line in a panic.

After the corner kick, the referee suspended the game. Indicate a substitution on the sidelines.

The game went on for 60 minutes. Millwall first made substitution adjustments. The veteran Larsson who opened the scoring for Millwall was replaced. Klose, who replaced him, will increase his strength. The pressure on Real Madrid's defense.

Larson's 60 minutes can be said to be very hard on both ends of the offense and defense, and the weakening of Carlos's plug-in assists is his greatest contribution to defense.

When he was off the field, Aldridge gave him a high-five to celebrate.

At 60 minutes, the game is about to reach a watershed stage, and this substitution is also a signal.

Millwall has changed!

Even though Nedved is an iron man, in a game of this level, it is impossible to fully consider both offensive and defensive ends for 90 minutes. Just like the counterattack and conceded the ball just now, as long as Real Madrid played fast enough, Nedved would not have time to return to the defense, so After Klose was replaced, Nedved's position was withdrawn, and he withdrew from the front midfielder to the midfield. The commentator and even the Real Madrid coaching staff thought that Millwall's replacement of Klose was a counter-substitution, and Klose played. He will play as a winger or a center forward. In fact, Klose will replace Nedved's position and he will serve as a midfielder.

In addition, there is a change in the position of a player that he knows in his heart.

Ronaldinho.

In the first 60 minutes, Ronaldinho was actually playing back and forth. He almost never entered the penalty area, did not grab points, and did not try to let go of his speed to charge bravely. In the first 60 minutes, he didn't look like a winger at all, neither classical nor modern, more like a traditional winger.

This is also what Aldridge emphasized before the game. Ronaldinho's time will be the last 30 minutes. This substitution is a signal to Ronaldinho: it's your time, let it go!

This arrangement is conceived. First, the offensive core shifted from Henry and Larson to Ronaldinho, making the opponent unable to keep up with the switching rhythm. Second, the stamina retained by Ronaldinho began to be released, but the stamina of Real Madrid's defense began to decline sharply due to running back and forth in the first 60 minutes. Third, the more time goes by, the more impatient Real Madrid will be, and they will intensify their offense, and the defensive space will be larger. What Ronaldinho needs is space.

After Klose played, Bosque was really confused for a while.

Klose was moving in the middle in front of the penalty area. Henry had a wider range of activities, but tended to be on the right side. He thought Klose was playing as a center forward, but after watching it for 3 minutes, he realized that Millwall might have played. 451.

It's just that the idea disappeared after 4 minutes.

Millwall strengthened the midfield, and Nedved's retracement made Real Madrid encounter defensive pressure from the offensive end both in positional battles and counterattacks.

In the 67th minute, Zambrotta stole the ball from Figo's feet. Figo wanted to repeat the same trick, but Zambrotta unscrupulously grabbed the ball after being dragged by Southgate. Figo observed his teammates' running positions Accidentally, the ball was lost.

Zambrotta steals the ball and passes it straight to Nedved, who is running sideways in front of him. Nedved sees Elguera coming to grab it, turns around halfway and sweeps the ball forward without stopping.

Ronaldinho took the ball on the left, and he immediately started to kill in the direction of the penalty area, cutting inside.

Makelele stood in front of his route, and Ronaldinho got faster and faster, and then made two consecutive bicycle pedals when he was two meters away from Makelele.

Makelele lowered his center of gravity and guessed from which side the opponent would change direction to break through. He decided to stand still and wait for Ronaldinho to change direction before turning around and getting stuck.

But after the two bicycles were pedaled, Ronaldinho suddenly stopped on the spot. Makelele was stunned, and saw the ball rolling towards him, rolling from between his legs to behind him!

Has Ronaldinho started to explode? It can be clearly seen that his rhythm changes after touching the ball are completely different from before. Human skills are not as good as the Argentine's Buccini, but every time I see him doing this, it still makes people feel pleasing to the eye, and I can't help but applaud him.

Makelele looked back, but saw Klose stopped the ball, Makelele went to grab Klose, Klose passed the ball diagonally, Makelele was startled: two passes and one hit the wall!

In fact, Makelele should be able to clearly realize that Ronaldinho will cooperate with Klose, but he was pierced through the crotch. Loser, and when Klose passed the ball, it would be too late for him to regret it.

Ronaldinho got the ball again in front of the penalty area. At this time, Hierro and Salgado were about to double-team him. Ronaldinho suddenly turned his head and looked to the left.

Salgado subconsciously followed his line of sight, thinking that someone from Millwall's flank was assisting, but when he looked, he found that his right side was empty.

And Hierro didn't know about Salgado's situation. He went up to grab Ronaldinho, even if he couldn't grab him, if Ronaldinho passed him, Salgado could fill in and grab again!

But Ronaldinho passed the ball again. Makelele had lost Ronaldinho before, so he couldn't lose Klose again, so he was against Klose, for fear that he would go to grab Ronaldinho again. Before Klose Then you can hit the goal directly, so Klose actually held up Makelele. There is not too much space between Makelele and the back line, and Ronaldinho's ball came from this gap. Passed across the corridor.

Oh, what is Pavon doing? Henry easily took the ball in front of him and then went forward. With this rush, he went straight into the penalty area. Ronaldinho's ability to pass the ball from the left to the right is really excellent. It has become more and more handy, and we can vaguely see the demeanor of Laudrup who played this trick to perfection.

Henry left poor Pavon behind, and rushed forward with absolute speed advantage, leading the ball and passing the ball in one go. He rushed in front of Pavon, and Pavon turned around again, it was too late.

Casillas also knew that Pavon was unreliable in this game, so as soon as Henry entered the penalty area, Casillas just abandoned the goal and left without any hesitation.

Henry was more straightforward. Casillas just ran three steps, and Henry passed the ball to the far end of the goal.

Ronaldinho ran to his place, and even got rid of Hierro directly. In front of him, an empty door was open.

The ball rolled over, Ronaldinho supported it with his right foot, turned his left foot to the outside of his right foot, and sent the ball into the goal with a chic and beautiful kick-back movement. He occasionally performed this movement when crossing the ball. Waldo and Maradona often use it, and Millwall's supernova Ronaldo will also use it when showing off his feet.

But Ronaldinho is the only one who dares to shoot at the Bernabéu and at this level of competition. Of course, there is an empty goal in front of him, and there is no one around him to defend him. However, this still requires strong psychological quality. Smash it, but it's not just as simple as being a laughing stock.

After the goal, Ronaldinho's celebrations were completely different from those of the first three goal scorers. He just ran slowly to the sidelines, then made a gesture of relief, wiped his sweat, showed a smile, and then started to dance the samba dance.

Phew, after holding back for more than sixty minutes, it's finally my turn. (To be continued...) ()
