The Young Lion

Regardless of whether Real Madrid expected Kaka's start before the game, after Kaka performed a pass and a shot at the Lion King Stadium, Real Madrid's defense began to focus on Kaka!

Makelele realizes that Nedved will not enter the penalty area today to threaten the goal. It is a pure b2b activity area.

Then, marking Kaka is very important.

It was Kaka who really went deep into the penalty area and posed a threat. Even if Kaka didn't pass the ball to Henry just now, he had a chance to form a shot himself.

Real Madrid's defense is adjusting its man-marking strategy, but they still haven't solved the attack.

The away game is inherently unfavorable, and Millwall's midfield defense is stronger today than in the previous game. Solari did not have the expected surprise effect. Even after conceding two goals in a row, Solari began to lose his position. , looking forward and backward, not decisive in attacking forward, trying to return to defense but seeming aimless, just withdrawing, but without substantial key defensive contribution.

Millwall actually has more offensive opportunities because they are not bad at organizing attacks in the midfield. Due to Pirlo's position, he is under less defensive pressure, and he doesn't play like Zidane. The goal of the ball is to create its own forward penetration and compress the striker's space for movement, but Millwall's offensive cooperation is not outstanding because of Kaka.

Kaka is obviously still a little immature in the coordination of positional battles. When handling the ball, especially when taking the initiative to respond, the choice of handling the ball is not good. This is a matter of experience.

Instead, when Real Madrid attack. When Kaka's activity space expands. Single forward awareness. Regardless of other transitions and organization, he did well in the first 35 minutes, but after Real Madrid adjusted their defensive strategy and began to mark him closely, he was successfully frozen by Makelele twice in a row.

Aldridge put his hands in his pockets on the sidelines. With Kaka's passing and shooting performance alone, he was able to get a high score, but. Aldridge is harsh on talented players, and now Kaka's test has just come.

The opponent doesn't focus on marking you, and you played brilliantly. This is a successful tactical sneak attack!

But what do you do when you are targeted by your opponent? If you can still make obvious contributions to the team, this is why you are different from ordinary people and called a genius!

After 40 minutes of the game, Kaka took advantage of the dead ball to reflect on himself.

He has never been a teammate with Makelele for a day. He only listened to his teammates chatting about this fierce player who once played in Millwall in training, and now he meets him on the court. Especially when Makelele focuses on marking him,

He felt that Makelele was like a poisonous snake. Either bite you unexpectedly, or wrap your whole body around you, allowing you to slowly suffocate when you are entangled by him.

Kaka knows that he is facing difficulties now. If he wants to defeat Makelele in a short time, he knows that it is not realistic. 10 times, 3-5 times can be successful, but the other 5 failed times is a waste of the team's efforts, which is contrary to the core philosophy of the Millwall team.

He remembered the personal advice given to him by the coaching staff before the game.

If you are unknown for the first 60 minutes and you have no performance on the field, then we will definitely change in the 60th minute of the second half. The game has always had this kind of threat, because our opponent is Real Madrid, they have a lot of experienced players, they will shift the focus of defense, to focus on restricting you, what should you do? At this time, it is the best of Millwall's attacking group The part is over, threat transfer! Teammates serve you, and you should also serve your teammates. We are a giant, and we have many excellent attackers. Use you to catch the opponent by surprise. When you can reduce the offensive pressure of other teammates, You have to be conscious and create opportunities for them!

Millwall's team philosophy is different, just look at Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Ruud van Nistelrooy's offensive efficiency after leaving Millwall, you will know that they are top in other clubs Shooters, but those who stay in Millwall are often top-notch shooters! The season can play super-class data!

In addition to personal abilities, there is also Millwall's core team philosophy at work, truly achieving 1+1 greater than 2, and the entire gorgeous attack group has no real offensive core. When they can gain insight into the opponent When defending the center of gravity, the offensive threat shifts back and forth. While contributing to each other, it is actually reducing the pressure on each other, so as to achieve continuous and stable performance.

In Millwall, strikers will sometimes be in bad form, but there is almost no such thing as a weak striker. You will not see a striker being completely marked to death. It is not that the striker is not marked to death, but that Henry is under 80% defensive pressure. Larson will appear when the opponent moves to Larson, the pressure on Henry will naturally be relieved, and Henry must have the awareness to support Larson when he is under heavy marking. Otherwise, Larson can't do it alone, and Henry's insistence on attacking will only allow the opponent's targeted defensive setup to succeed.

What tests Kaka now is the cultivation of this kind of consciousness. It is difficult to instill it in words so that players can understand it. If you have not experienced such a scene, you will not be able to understand the deep meaning. Like Ronaldo, it only improves the awareness of teamwork. Really wait When he becomes the opponent's key target, whether he still has the awareness of diverting the threat and letting his teammates attack the city, this needs to be investigated separately.

As the first half drew to a close, Pirlo deliberately slowed down the tempo when organizing the offense, frequently shifted laterally, and was not in a hurry to make infiltrating passes. Seeing this, Real Madrid thought that Millwall would hold a two-goal lead in the first half advantage, so the intensity of the midfield fight was strengthened.

When Real Madrid robbed, Pirlo suddenly accelerated the pace. When Zidane and Solari came to rob at the same time, he passed the ball to Zambrotta on the wing, and then quickly moved forward. His running Bits are obvious signals.

Zambrotta passed the ball to the front of Pirlo. After Pirlo took the ball again, Solari was behind him. Pirlo did not hesitate and passed Kaka in front of him.

Kaka turned around with the ball and went directly to the opponent's penalty area, increasing his speed and dribbling gracefully.

Seeing this scene, Aldrich was a little disappointed.

At first glance, Kaka seemed to be rushing in front of Makelele.

Probably he is confident that he can break through Makelele.

It's not that there is no chance, it's just that Aldrich is not very optimistic. Even if Makelele is broken through, he will never be completely wiped out. Makelele's speed will ensure that he will harass Kaka when he continues to move forward. On the premise that Kaka cannot completely get rid of the opponent, his ability to handle the ball needs to be strengthened.

Makelele was in a defensive posture at the top of the arc in the penalty area, waiting for Kaka to strike.

He finds it strange that when others break through, they must avoid the defenders, but Kaka dribbles the ball, and the forward route almost hits him, as long as he moves three steps to the right.

Makelele didn't think too much, moved three steps to the right to defend, and waited for Kaka to make a change of direction dribble in front of him. As soon as the change of direction was made, Makelele would immediately make corresponding defensive moves .

Kaka's eyes were firm, and he hesitated in the middle of the dribbling process. He didn't have time to look back and observe, but he thought his teammates had good enough running ability.

He intentionally left the steering wheel in the center, and then rushed forward in a straight line, which actually gave way to the space on the right.

When they came three meters in front of Makelele, the two confronted each other head-on, Makelele concentrated on it, but Kaka made a movement that surprised him.

Stop the ball with the brakes and pull the ball to the rear right with your toes!

There seemed to be no man's land there. Makelele looked over and suddenly saw Nedved and rushed up a second later to take the ball away!

Kaka shouted in his heart: yes!

He went to watch the pass first, and he was still a little apprehensive, afraid that Nedved would not follow, but Nedved's physical fitness and the football genes of an assaulter, how could he not be seen at this time?

Nedved dribbles forward and has come to the line of the penalty area. Makelele seals Kaka's passing route and pushes towards Nedved. Henry is frozen by Hierro and Salgado , when Nedved made a long-range shot, Elguera moved and rushed towards Nedved, blocking the angle of his long-range shot, intending to block it with his body!

The iron man with a calm face made a fake shot and a real pass, and pushed the ball to the left side of Elguera's body with the arch of his foot.

When Elguera found the opponent passing the ball, he felt desperate: It's over!

Behind him, the windy Larsson cut the small penalty area, and continued to dribble horizontally after catching the ball. within!

Wonderful goal, what is Millwall missing today? What is missing? Nedved's goal! But he already has two assists, Millwall's wonderful team performance, well deserved The strongest player in European football!

Seeing this goal, Aldridge raised his fists on the sidelines expressionlessly, but his eyes were burning like fire!

Not only did he score another goal before the end of the first half, but this goal allowed him to see the prospect of Kaka truly integrating into Millwall!

The disappointment just now was his own superficiality. He thought that Kaka was rushing forward with a tendon, but he was not. He saw it. When Kaka passed the ball to the right back without turning back, he knew he was wrong. , Misunderstood Kaka, Kaka is deliberately rushing forward, creating a situation where he will hit Makelele and compete with the opponent, confuse Makelele, make a contribution to his teammates, and pass the ball Going forward to contain the opponent's defense, the reason why Makelele was not firm enough to defend Nedved was due to Kaka's first goal. Wasn't it Nedved's assist in the same position?

Good job, lad! (to be continued..) ()
