The Young Lion

Regardless of whether Chelsea fans admit it or not, Millwall's temperament and posture on the court are even more majestic and majestic!

Although, Millwall is not perfect now, and there will be no truly flawless team.

The difference is that the potential of Millwall's players has not yet been tapped to the limit. When they really reach their peak, they will be able to achieve the perfection they can do.

Chelsea, which has made a fantastic start, the trident in the frontcourt, especially the wide players did not realize the overall changes on the field. They are still actively pressing in the frontcourt, but when Millwall's offense hits their backcourt , their defensive awareness dropped.

This directly led to Millwall blowing up their wing defense to pieces, and only then did they score an equalizer.

The score was equalized and Chelsea's wing defense began to strengthen. Since Eriksson saw the problem, he would not sit still.

At the same time, let the team strengthen the long pass in the counterattack, especially the long pass to the wing.

After all, Millwall's bilateral defenders are extremely aggressive offensively, and the space behind them can definitely be used!

As for this link, of course Aldrich would have foreseen that when deducing the actual effect of the tactics, wouldn't such a defensive loophole be obvious?

Therefore, instilling the defensive concept of the defensive midfielder and defender is the key point.

Long passes are definitely not as successful as short passes.

The technical ability of the initiator of the long pass is guaranteed, and secondly, the person who needs to respond is smart in moving and able to capture the space.

Even if these two qualities meet the requirements.

There is another condition that is difficult to change.

The flight time of the ball in the air!

Even children understand. The longer the distance, the longer the time will be if the speed of the ball remains the same. To accelerate the ball, the requirements for strength control are higher, and the technical ability of the runners is also higher. There are not many players who can perfectly stop the ball in the air.

Ever since, the opponent's long pass, even if it hits the wing. The time the ball is flying in the air is the time for Millwall to deploy the defense. If the opponent uses more to play less, then shrink the dangerous area of ​​​​the penalty area. If the opponent uses a balanced number of people or plays more with less, then Millwall can divide his troops to defend. At this time, the defensive ability of the double midfielder is reflected. One player assists in defending the wing, and the other player continues to guard the center to become a single midfielder.

Not seeking to form an interception directly, but delaying the opponent's attack and buying time for teammates to defend. This is a measure that Pirlo did not dare to take when he partnered with Gattuso in the past, because Pirlo went to help defend the side. His speed and defensive ability are difficult to produce considerable results. If Gattuso helps defend the wing, it is very likely that the back line will be exposed to the opponent's frontal impact.

in most cases. Millwall must be more defensive than less, because almost no opponent dares to defend Millwall with a balanced number of players. Millwall's offensive pressure is to use offense instead of defense!

If the opponent does not play a long pass and changes to a short pass, then Millwall's handy defensive strategy of high-pressure pressing can continue to be used.

Aldridge couldn't pursue Michels' total attack and defense. But the opponent's request must be firmly implemented: all members participate in the defense and contribute to the defense. This is attitude and discipline!

Trident is no exception!

Compared with the two full-backs on Millwall's side who played well on both ends of the offense and defense, they seemed to be everywhere, while the two full-backs on Chelsea's side, Johnson and Bridge, were overshadowed. It was frequently exploded on the defensive end.

Eriksson just asked the wide players to strengthen their defense, and then sat on the coach's bench. He was thinking about countermeasures. For a while, he felt unprecedented pressure.

The fast-paced and close-pressing habits of the Premier League prevent Veron from performing well. This does not depend on whether the player changes teams, but is determined by the style of the entire league, because every opponent is similar.

In addition to Millwall's own strengthening of the midfield, Nedved, Alonso, and De Rossi, the three made dumplings for Veron. The sense of presence in the midfield is getting lower and lower, and they are in a similar predicament when facing Millwall at Manchester United, even worse than before, because at Manchester United, Nedved of Millwall was more involved in attacking, the first time There must be an obvious distance between the defense and the midfielder, and Pirlo's defensive ability will not create pressure on Veron like Alonso's close entanglement.

Duff and Gudjohnsen returned to the defense, Crespo was alone in the frontcourt, trapped in the double-team of Millwall defenders and midfielders, and was isolated and helpless. Occasionally an overhead ball flew over, and Crespo deftly countered offside to form Single-handedly, but seeing Bout rushing out to control the ball made him feel extremely desperate.

Wanting to penetrate Millwall's defense in a simple and rude way, Chelsea is a bit whimsical.

Eriksson stood up for the second time in the 22nd minute and revoked the order he had given before: instead of playing long passes, he changed to short passes, and the attack was launched from the center and backcourt, especially using Duff's ability to attack from the side.

This idea did not surprise Millwall, and even their players felt nothing new, because many opponents played like this.

But the dribbling speed of the players is still not as fast as the sprint speed without the ball. Millwall will delay Duff in the frontcourt immediately, and other defensive players will run to the backcourt. It is like a kind of competition. Exciting, but even if Duff crosses the barrier and comes to the frontcourt, they will find that their counterattack has become a positional battle. Moreover, because Veron is restricted, Chelsea has become powerless when playing a positional war.

Eriksson's face was sinking, and he could naturally see the reason for Chelsea's weak attack.

It seems that Chelsea has never shown a particularly strong team spirit. Partial points may seem a bit threatening when they are in possession of the ball, but there is no familiar group cooperation, and the overall situation is not active. Millwall presses high and closes the ball. The passing line is one, and the lack of tacit understanding among the Chelsea team is the second.

Originally in the middle, he also expected Makelele to become the backbone of Chelsea, just like Makelele's ability to show in Millwall: reshape the game!

But to Eriksson's surprise, Millwall changed their offensive routine. They no longer tended to attack in the middle, but went to the side.

This is actually not difficult to predict, will Aldridge ignore Makelele?

Forcibly hitting the opponent's strongest defensive point is not courage, but stupidity, because it is exactly what they want!

Bridge and Johnson are two full-backs, such good targets, don't abuse them, look for Makelele? Is Millwall crazy?

This prevents Makelele from taking advantage of the advantages of reshaping the team's offensive posture after the moment the offense ends. As for transferring to the positional battle and then handing the ball to him, he can make a formulaic pass, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve The height of the ability of a positional warfare offensive organizer.

When Chelsea's winger retreats to the half-court defense, Millwall's two full-backs will not risk just rushing. They will pay attention to keeping a reasonable distance from the opponent's winger and continue to support the attack. If the opponent launches a counterattack, they will also be able to attack. Make defense at the first time.

In the 29th minute of the game, Larson tried a shot in the penalty area and was blocked by Terry. Makelele, who got the ball, turned around and passed the ball to Duff on the wing.

Duff dribbled the ball along the wing and was about to start. Before he could gain speed, he was directly intercepted by Schneider. Chelsea's forward counterattack died before it broke out. After stealing the ball, Schneider looked up to observe the situation in the frontcourt. Pass the ball straight to Larson.

Larson was also returning to defend, but this time he stopped and happened to be unmarked. He opened the distance with Bridge, took two steps horizontally and went straight behind Cedselli. Henry had not yet returned to his position after Terry He ran to the open space before, Larson's pass arrived as scheduled, before Terry flew to block again, Henry kicked the ground ball and pushed the ball into the dead corner of the goal. The ball was not fast, and Kudic Ni tried his best but still couldn't jump.

Henry helped Millwall reverse the score! Larson's second assist! From the first round of the new season, Henry will once again challenge the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot. He won the Golden Boot with 25 goals last season Ruud van Nistelrooy, he must work hard. I believe that Henry, who has returned to the center position this season, will not let his competitors take away the top scorer award with 25 goals. As long as he is not affected by injuries, Henry will play in the Premier League every season 30 goals is absolutely no problem! He's a goal machine for Millwall!

Henry's goal silenced the home fans at Stamford Bridge.

On the sidelines, Aldrich closed his eyes slightly and showed an admiring smile. At the same time, he was gesturing with his right hand in front of him. His index finger kept turning, as if he was drawing a circle, as if he was enjoying a wonderful art feast.

In the stands, Abramovich's face became a little ugly.

The Millwall generals made a collective classic celebration in front of the visiting team stands. They stood in a row with one hand next to their ears and turned slightly sideways. lion!

The Millwall generals were still unsatisfied, three times in a row.

Lion

Lion

Lion!

The echo of the wild lion reverberates in the air of Stamford Bridge.

He's back! They're back! He's back! They're back!  …

Martin Taylor shouted this sentence in his passionate commentary.

Aldridge, who returned to Millwall at the end of last season, actually made the Premier League feel strange, and it also made people who followed him feel strange. Continue to be successful.

However, after seeing the Aldridge and Millwall team appearing in a state of passion and enjoying the game in the new season, the wild lions and young coaches that Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are familiar with, are back!

They create beauty in enjoyment! They strive to make history with passion!

Standing out from all living beings, yearning for the immortal will in the immortal myth, the third generation of mad lions, like piercing clouds and sharp arrows, soars to the sky without concealing their sharpness... (To be continued) ()
