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

Aldridge, who has been standing on the sidelines since the start of the game, looked calm, with a confident look in his eyes.

Millwall sits at home, and Real Madrid is here to come back and fight desperately. However, from the beginning, Real Madrid's offense cannot advance from the middle.

Compared with the first round, Millwall's defense in the middle is obviously tougher!

Nedved played in the midfield today instead of the attacking midfielder. The starting area compresses the midfield line, and the retreat defense will definitely not be too late to return to its position.

Gattuso and Nedved are tough guys who can't run to death, with tenacious defenses. Coupled with the cooperation of Pirlo's mobile wall, Millwall's attack on Real Madrid in the midfield is very effective.

Real Madrid had to shift their offense to the wing, but after going to the wing, it was very difficult to shift back to the center. They were obviously not calm enough and couldn't bear their temper. A wave of offense rushed forward with determination. The idea of ​​braking and controlling the tempo, maybe the pressure of having to score at least three goals is affecting their mentality.

Even if they beat Millwall 2:0 in the away game, they will be eliminated because they have fewer away goals than Millwall, so their minimum is to score 3 goals, and Millwall is restricted from scoring.

Millwall's key offensive area today was decided on the spot, or based on the opponent's starting lineup, since Elgla withdrew to play as a central defender. Then the defensive strength of the back waistline will decline.

Why is Aldridge so confident?

Of course it's a matter of Real Madrid's configuration.

Especially after Figola side. Millwall organized the attack. The midfield is their world, and Zidane behind him, and Raul who is farther away, naturally cannot catch up with their attacking speed.

In the 11th minute of the game, after several consecutive attempts to attack, Millwall was roughly familiar with Real Madrid's defensive system today. After finding out the opponent's strength and arrangement, they will show their killer.

When Salgado wanted to repeat the same trick to find Morientes with the ball from the wing. Zambrotta didn't give him this chance. Today Millwall's defense is very tough in the backcourt. Don't worry about being counterattacked by the opponent. If Nedved can go back, Zambrotta doesn't have to be in the penalty area. Salgado Pilling the ball, Zambrotta directly blocked it with his body.

The ball bounced forward,

Pirlo stopped the ball at the side, Solari quickly counterattacked, and Pirlo and Nedved hit the wall twice in a row, knocking Solari out. Then Pirlo, who was slightly behind, rushed forward with the ball, before Salgado returned to defend close. Pirlo made a direct pass and kicked the ball to the front of the wing.

Real Madrid's full-backs were out of position on this side, and Henry had space to get the ball after he pulled the side. Hierro didn't dare to go out of the penalty area to help defend, guarding the dangerous area of ​​​​the penalty area.

Henry saw that Real Madrid's players returning to the defense in the frontcourt still had a long distance, so he slowed down a little. His explosive power was enough to make Hierro frightened.

Bringing the ball to the edge of the penalty area, Henry cuts in from the side, Hierro stepped up, he can't retreat, if the 45-degree area of ​​the penalty area line is vacated for Henry, maybe Henry can come and shoot the far corner Breaking the goal, Henry's amazing work of picking the ball and half-turning volley in the last round will never be forgotten.

Makelele saw two players in the middle of Millwall plug in at high speed, Nedved and Kaka!

Kaka is in front and Nedved is behind.

In this game, it is obvious that Millwall's forward speed in the middle is faster than the previous game. The effect is that when Real Madrid weakens the defense of the waistline, the defensive pressure in the middle of the penalty area soars.

Choose one, with whom?

Makelele's head was getting big, and in the end he chose to follow Kaka, but not completely. At the same time, he tried to get closer to Henry to block his passing line.

Henry suddenly started to change direction and chose to kill towards the bottom line. With his move, Real Madrid's entire defense line retreated. In this change of rhythm, Henry kicked back the ball and passed the ball back to Nedved.

Nedved did not rush forward, but Henry's bottoming created a wider space for him. Makelele reacted quickly and rushed out immediately to block the angle of Nedved's long-range shot .

Nedved watched his former teammate rush up. He calmly dribbled the ball laterally and pulled it out of the angle. Then when Makelele stretched his leg to block, he flicked his ankle and passed the ball to Makelele's goal. behind.

Makelele was shocked, but Nedved didn't shoot!

behind him?

Elguera, it's up to you!

Hierro must be pinned down by Henry, and the only person Makelele can count on is Elguera.

However, Elguera was also held back by Larsson who was running inside. Although he was trying to find a balance, in fact, at that moment, Elguera was more like being double-teamed by Kaka and Larsson. Carlos seems to be sticking to Larson, but he is on the outside. If Larson cuts in to catch the shot, what can Carlos do from behind Larson?

Helguera sees Nedved's passing line and immediately moves to the right, he completely abandons Larsson, and the goal is Kaka!

The ball was passed along Kaka's right foot. The goal was less than 12 yards in front of Kaka. The goalkeeper Cesar abandoned the goal and Erguera came to block it. Kaka knew that he had no chance to adjust. So he turned slightly sideways and quickly shot!

He hit the ball before Elguera, and the ball swept towards Real Madrid's goal. Cesar subconsciously reached out to block it, and his fingertips really touched the ball, causing the ball to change direction slightly, but the distance was too close. Kaka deliberately exerted force, the ball was extremely fast, and flew into Real Madrid's goal with a bang!

Kaka! Kaka! Kaka, who just passed his birthday four days ago and turned 20, scored a goal! He opened the scoring for Millwall! The surprise soldiers sent by Hall gave back the miraculous effect, and Millwall led 1-0 at home Real Madrid, leading with a total score of 6:3! Real Madrid must now score at least 4 goals to qualify for the final!

After Kaka scored the goal, he quickly got up from the ground. There were many girl fans in the stands holding up his posters, and they applauded endlessly. This is the affirmation and encouragement from the fans of the home team to the young players.

After Kaka pointed to the sky and muttered. Start running all the way. On the way, he high-fived with Larson, and then ran away from the coach of the target home team.

Aldridge was ready to give Kaka a high-five celebration, he bent down and stretched out his palms and laughed, more like a boxer about to punch, but Kaka rushed over and jumped directly on Aldrich body, hug him head-on!

Four days ago, Kaka turned 20, and the club celebrated his birthday the day before the match against Charlton. At the same time, Kaka was given a new contract and his salary was doubled.

He only joined last summer, but as a first-team substitute player this season, his growth and performance on the field have won the recognition of the coaching staff, especially this kid is obedient, he is a good baby, and he does not cause trouble outside the field. Neither go. Millwall sent him a new contract when he joined for less than a year, just to keep him. A steadfast determination to lock in his future manifests.

Kaka was very grateful for this, although his father took it for granted and even felt that Millwall's salary was less, but Kaka signed the contract happily.

Aldridge's expectation of him is actually a kind of pressure, so when Kaka hugged Aldridge, he said something that made Aldridge dumbfounded.

Boss, I didn't disappoint you, did I?

Aldridge patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: Don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's just a game, you are only 20 years old, and there is still a long time in the future, this is the semi-final of the Champions League, yes, but it's just your career A game at the beginning of a career doesn't mean anything.

Kaka smiled, and was surrounded by his teammates.

Aldrich kept waving his arms up and down, and the Lion King Stadium, which had already detonated passion, became more boiling, and the atmosphere was very hot.

He inadvertently glanced at Bosque, who was sinking like water on the coach bench next door, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Did Millwall play 442 today?

No, Millwall played 433 today!

Kaka is actually a shadow striker, lying in ambush behind Larsson and Henry. There are two killers in front of him to contain and tear the line of defense, and then Nedved comes up to press the midfielder. Nedved, Larsson, Henry, these three points in a tripod are undoubtedly more famous than Kaka, and more threatening than him, but the core of Millwall's offense, in the opening stage, Aldridge made it very clear to the team : You just want to create opportunities for Kaka!

If Real Madrid wants to attack, can they just rely on the frontcourt players to play positions slowly? No, the full-backs must go up, at least one, and if one goes up, the horizontal defensive area of ​​the back line will expand.

Larsson and Henry’s intimidation from the side cuts, even if Real Madrid’s defense is perfect, at least two defenders will face Larsson and Henry diagonally. If Makelele is with Kaka, Nedved This allows the ability to use heavy artillery on the periphery. If Makelele blocks Nedved, then Kaka's advance is at least a one-on-one opportunity, and entering the penalty area, as long as there is space and an angle, Just kick it, why bother to pass the defender and go one-on-one with the goalkeeper?

This is still in a perfect situation. Just now, Real Madrid's defense was not perfect.

Rather than saying that Aldridge sent surprise soldiers and Kaka played a miraculous effect, it is better to say that Millwall's frontcourt attack group sublimated the tactical effect of teamwork in the absence of Ronaldinho today. Henry and Larson Aldridge has cultivated the ability to be able to play side to side, and the awareness of covering Kaka on the front line, and his unhesitating cooperation, this further reflects Millwall's team foundation.

From the first minute of this game, Real Madrid was actually in a deadlock. They had to attack, but Millwall was obviously faster than them in terms of offensive and defensive transition rhythm, and in the midfield configuration, Aldridge I think Millwall is stronger than Real Madrid, even if the opponent has Zidane, Figo, and Makelele.

But in the final analysis, in terms of matchup efficiency, Makelele defends well, and Gattuso is not bad. Zidane's starting organization area is around the center circle, and Pirlo specializes in this. Ronaldinho, Millwall may not be able to match Figo, but they have a fast offensive and defensive rhythm, and they simply take advantage of their speed. Kaka, Larson, Henry, which one is slower? The most important comparison is Nedved's performance.

Zidane is a technical master, while Nedved is a fighter. The two are actually not comparable, and their positions are not the same. Therefore, it is meaningless to compare them. Zidane's organizational role is to be compared with Pierre. Compared with Luo, after the end of the last game, in the technical statistics, Pirlo passed more than Zidane in the statistics of the time period before being replaced, and the success rate is basically the same. Luo and Zidane were on the same level in the last performance. Although Zidane's stats and goals were better than Pirlo's, Aldridge didn't value those.

Nedved is not the core of defense, not the core of organization, not the core of offense, but Nedved can become the spiritual leader of Millwall, because the transition of offense and defense requires the existence of a team player like him who can drive the whole team to make Millwall The entire team will be sublimated again after the ability is quantified!

When the coach has exhausted his organization and organized defense, organization, and offense in an orderly manner, this is obviously not enough, because even with the strongest defensive commander, it is impossible for you to lead a line of defense to directly face the impact of the opponent's attack group However, it is impossible for the most immovable and strongest organizational core to simply continuously deliver shells to the attacking group, and it is impossible for the strongest offensive core to be continuously invincible.

Coincidentally, this concept will be implemented by Real Madrid in the next few years.

Top defenders, top organizers, top strikers, why is Real Madrid farther and farther away from the championship?

Aldridge feels that Real Madrid is missing one element, the lubricant that shapes the whole, the catalyst that sublimates the team, and connects the whole perfectly. He is lucky that he has Nedved. Without him, Millwall's defense The pressure will rise in a straight line, and the offensive power will plummet again. Yes, he is not the tactical core, but he is the most critical fighter under Aldridge. The offensive core can be changed, and the playmaker Aldridge is also ready to change. The defensive core The next few years will also enter the rhythm of renewal, but for a player like Nedved, how much he hopes that Nedved can be ten years younger.

He never thinks about who is stronger in the original history, Zidane of Juventus or the later successor Nedved. Zidane is a master of art, and Nedved, the iron man, will become a master of his own generation ten years later . (to be continued..) ()
