The Young Lion

Millwall's conceded goal also made Millwall's defensive players examine Milan's offensive routine changes.

David Miller's warning to Millwall's new system before, especially emphasized that Southgate is about to turn 33 years old. It is tacit: Southgate's defensive area will decline!

As I get older, my explosive power decreases. There is no way to do this. Even if I have experience, I can only concentrate on one key area.

Just like just now, if Shevchenko went inside, Southgate could block him, but Shevchenko suddenly changed direction and then went outside. This short-term comparison of explosive power, Southgate couldn't keep up. , he can only seal a little bit, originally the outside line should be retracted by the full-back, but Millwall's wing storm caused Ashley Cole to fail to run back, and it was also Milan's master midfielder who saw through this. One point, deliberately make the attack fast, so as not to delay the attack for Millwall.

In the end, it was the same as Chelsea finding the right offensive routine in the second half of the second half. The difference was that Milan did not rely on dribbling, and the pass over 30 meters was incredibly accurate. To hide vicious!

Nesta discussed with Southgate, and then Southgate said to De Rossi before kick-off: If you are hit by a counterattack, you take the middle and cut the central defender!

Role switching is commonplace in Millwall. Whether it is the swapping of wingers and centre-forwards, the swapping of midfield roles, or the task of defenders assisting in defense, it is actually a role switching. Such switching is nothing new. In the football tactical revolution, Michels' Total Attack and Total Defense has raised the concept of football tactics to the limit. It is almost impossible for latecomers to surpass it. As he said himself: in perfect condition. I have 10 defenders, 10 midfielders, and 10 forwards. This requires the 10 players who originally excluded the goalkeeper to be able to switch back and forth between defenders, midfielders, and forwards.

As for the defensive midfielder withdrawing from the penalty area to act as a central defender for a short period of time, it is very common.

The countermeasures Nesta and Southgate envisioned are clear at a glance.

Milan fought back. As long as there are three people on the back line, Nesta, De Rossi, Southgate, and three personal defenses against Inzaghi and Shevchenko entering the penalty area, the defensive guarantee will be much higher.

The emergence of this kind of countermeasure will not appear out of thin air. It is a chain reaction that triggers the whole body tactically. When the main tactics of the third generation of Wild Lion officially enter the pace of revolution, we must deal with the problems that arise. It is necessary to make corresponding tricks and tricks, which is also a necessary process to improve experience.

The two experienced defenders clearly discovered just now. Millwall's defensive midfielder is useless.

De Rossi and Alonso stand at the midfielder position in order to protect the back line in a layered manner. The focus of defense is to contain the opponent's advancement.

However, think about it the other way around, Milan advances in the middle, and the speed will not be very fast!

Milan is interpreting one of the simplest truths on the football field: passing the ball is faster than dribbling!

Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa.

These three, with the ball in their hands, can't be called fast at dribbling and advancing!

Therefore, playing against Chelsea, Duff's dribbling forward is a great threat, but if Seedorf dribbles forward, it should not be what Millwall fears, because he runs 30 meters with the ball, Nedved, Shi Ned, Ashley Cole, must have run back into the defensive position!

Of course, Milan themselves knew this, so they deliberately played fast, using the direct pass to infiltrate!

Duff, Gudjohnsen can't make a through pass like a scalpel. Even if Veron is capable, as long as Millwall marks Veron to death, his threat to the ball will not be great.

But the same defensive strategy cannot be applied to Milan.

Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, you can mark at most 2 people, and you will always miss one. Then, the one you missed will be easier to pass through the whole line because of your marking defense. line of defense.

Ever since, he simply gave up the midfielder and left Alonso alone, allowing De Rossi to withdraw directly to the central defender in the penalty area.

If Milan advances forward with a short pass, Alonso doesn't have to grab it. Their speed of advancing and running is definitely not as fast as Millwall's midfield and full-backs retreating. There is only the threat of a pass. What scares Millwall the most.

After Millwall's defense adjusted itself, they kicked off again and launched an attack on Milan again!

Ashley Cole crossed the edge and went down to the bottom, and crossed the ball to the deep space in the middle rib. Ronaldinho got the ball here, and Costacurta defended him from the front. From Takuta's point of view, this is a very predictable brilliance!

why?

Ronaldinho is on the bottom line, should he still dribble the ball to the bottom line? As long as he pulls out the neutral gear to the right, he can shoot from a small angle!

As a result, the old Costacurta moved his center of gravity, trying to block Ronaldinho's outward dribbling route.

What a Brazilian elf, not only deceived Costacurta, but also fooled Milan's entire defense line!

He just faked and smashed the ball to the bottom line resolutely. He was less than half a meter away from the bottom line. In order to wipe Costacurta, Ronaldinho put half of his body outside the bottom line. The ball at his feet is pressing on the inside of the baseline!

The line referee did not raise the flag to indicate that he was out of bounds. Xiao Luo Yigao boldly and unexpectedly wiped Costacurta away. After passing the opponent, he took another step outside the ball, pulled the shot angle, and shot a low shot Heavy artillery blasted out!

boom!

The ball hit the goalpost firmly and bounced off!

The audience exclaimed, and immediately burst into applause.

Ronaldinho gritted his teeth showing a face of resignation.

Milan escaped unharmed, and the bounced ball was obtained by Gattuso, who did not dare to pass the ball to Pirlo, because Nedved faintly blocked the space for Pirlo to take the ball when he retreated to defend.

Gattuso passed the ball to Rui Costa in front of Nedved's left.

Millwall just failed to make a wave of offense, and the audience in the stands was still sighing, and there were also praises and aftertaste, which I didn't expect. Another wonderful picture was born again!

Rui Costa once again displayed his passing skills. A 50-yard pass!

De Rossi retreated into the penalty area. Parallel to the defender, acting as a central defender!

Alonso, who was alone in the back waistline, did not choose to block Rui Costa's passing line to Inzaghi or Shevchenko, and was even more afraid of the connection between Rui Costa and Seedorf. It is also obviously impossible for one person to cover the entire horizontal defensive line.

Rui Costa's pass rolled over from ten meters to the right of Alonso, and the speed was very fast. When Alonso turned around to make up defense. I just saw the tacit cooperation between Inzaghi and Shevchenko in running positions. Inzaghi was obviously closer to the ball, and he should go to meet it. However, Inzaghi ran away deliberately to ambush the attack, as if waiting for someone Then send the ball to his feet so that he can directly form a shot. Inzaghi himself is not a fulcrum center.

Shevchenko, who was farther away, ran to meet him and cut inside to the middle. Get behind Alonso and face the Millwall back line.

The two world-class forwards run in such a way. It caused immediate disruption to Millwall's back line. When Shevchenko received the ball in the middle, he faced De Rossi head-on!

The Ukrainian nuclear warhead is in a state of explosiveness today, stopping the ball seems to slow down the rhythm, which also caused a pause in De Rossi's rhythm, and then Shevchenko exploded again, accelerating slightly obliquely and passing by the left side of De Rossi's body !

His breakthrough line is the best choice!

Going this way is to take advantage of the trend, which is more conducive to explosion. At the same time, there is Inzaghi on this side to contain Nesta, and on the other side, Southgate can stop him with all his strength!

De Rossi paused and restarted. It was a dream to intercept Shevchenko. Facing such a 0.1-second rhythm change of a world-class striker, if he failed to keep up with the first time, he would have no chance to keep up!

Shevchenko entered the penalty area. Although he didn't seem to completely shake off De Rossi, he already had room to shoot. A rubbing shot from the far corner was cast from his feet. Flying the side net inside the goal, Bout flew to the end but failed to stop the ball, an absolute strike!

Milan completed the reversal in 2 minutes! Rui Costa's incredible performance, Shevchenko's pleasing fatal blow! The process of this game, the scene was really ups and downs. Milan just equalized the score. Nardinho almost overtook the score again, but unfortunately his shot was rejected by the goal post after he passed Costacurta wonderfully. Turning his head, Milan staged a reversal! The game was less than 20 minutes, less than 20 minutes Minutes, what else will happen?

Shevchenko's goal pushed the atmosphere to a new level!

All the audience at the Louis II Stadium were stunned, and the Wild Lions fans couldn't believe it. How many years has it been since someone played table tennis?

The Milan fans were ecstatic, and even members of the Monaco royal family were stunned. Then they were infected by the atmosphere of the stadium and applauded excitedly for the players on the field.

Ancelotti's face was flushed, and his excited smile concealed his ambition well. He purposely glanced secretly at Aldrich next door. Seeing the young marshal's calm and contemplative expression, he thought to himself: Aldrich, today's Warm up, I won't show mercy!

Aldridge felt that he had made a mistake. How should I put it, the sea was difficult for water. In the past many years, what he had in the midfielder was top players, especially the defensive ability.

Makelele and Gattuso let them make the most correct judgments when they are most dangerous, block the opponent's passing line, and delay the opponent's attack by changing directions. This is Aldridge's consistent requirement for players.

How can this delay?

It's very simple, if you can predict which teammate the opponent is going to pass a threatening ball to, and you get stuck on the correct line, then the opponent will either try an over-the-top ball with a low success rate, or deny the pass intention , Going to find the passing points of other teammates again, then, this process is naturally time-consuming invisibly.

However, De Rossi and Alonso have not yet reached the height of Makelele and Gattuso. This height refers to defensive awareness, or the old problem: experience!

De Rossi's retracement was obviously correct, but he misestimated De Rossi's ability to defend one-on-one.

It's not that he is too weak now, but that he is facing the world-class forward Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko!

I don’t know if it’s unlucky, but the two world-class forwards in Milan, Inzaghi and Shevchenko, are not pillar-type centers with weak running ability, but penetrating forwards with outstanding flexible running ability, a near-pure shooter , one with more comprehensive abilities, the combination of these two people, the most suitable for them to play, also needs space!

The two defenders will definitely be exploded, and adding a De Rossi retreat also proves that the explosion is a bit ugly.

With a big wave of Aldrich's hand, he didn't want to block the midfield defense at all, and Alonso also retreated immediately. The opponent's striker needed space, and Millwall compressed the space in the penalty area! (to be continued..) ()
