The Young Lion

The Milan generals looked helpless, while Millwall was encouraged.

Ancelotti's thinking was a little messy, and he paced around in three circles, as if he was headless or had nowhere to vent his anger!

No one heard him whisper.

That's it, that's it, that's it! It's always like this!

No one questioned Aldridge's status as a tactical master in European football, but many people actually admired him very blindly and mostly followed suit.

In the eyes of peers, what is so scary about Aldridge, the master tactician?

It is not a technical and tactical formation that has been discussed a lot under normal circumstances.

433, 4231, 442, whatever.

This kind of technical and tactical system that can be dissected under static conditions naturally has methods of restraint or restriction.

But it is only Aldridge's change of tactics in the last period of time is the source of his peers' admiration for his tactical master.

The timing is the most appropriate: don't give the opponent extra time.

As for the content of the change, it is often unexpected and elusive. Unlike some coaches, the backhand is predictable, and it can't even be called a change. Caught off guard?

Ancelotti, who is usually gentle and kind, is also showing signs of going berserk at the moment.

The Brazilian is a cover, Nedved's retracement is a concealment, Aldridge, you really have it!

It is easier to find the problem if you push back after making a mistake.

Ancelotti understands that Milan's wing attack pressure is not enough, Nedved looks like a full-back, in fact. It was transformed into a wingback.

And he was at Millwall before. Already used to changing positions with Ronaldinho. It is commonplace to convert to the left winger when attacking.

Aldridge used some tricks to reactivate Nedved, and it worked at the last moment.

Before Nedved's goal, Millwall went through an hour of mad rush and needed to slow down physically. Milan's own offense was difficult to speed up except for passing the ball. In the case of counter-defense, the two teams did not play a threatening offensive in the last few minutes.

4:4, the 90-minute match of the European Super Cup is over. There will be extra time soon. This wonderful goal battle is beyond everyone's expectations. The two top teams in the world attach great importance to this game. Contrary to the expectations of the outside world, we hope that in overtime, this classic goal battle will continue to be performed!

Without going back to the locker room with the team, Aldridge took out the tactical board on the sidelines, and roughly redesigned the basic formation and offensive and defensive routines of the overtime game, and the distribution of player responsibilities and so on.

Some players were exhausted, like Ronaldinho. Henry, some players are still alive and kicking and want to make meritorious performances. Such as Ronaldo, Kaka, Ram.

Before the start of extra time, Milan used the second substitution.

Danish striker Thomasson replaced striker Inzaghi.

Although Thomason looks taller and stronger in stature, he is similar to Inzaghi in terms of playing style. Both are opportunistic forwards. The team's mature tactical style.

In Millwall, before the start of extra time, the player positions presented a new asymmetrical formation.

On the front line are Henry and Ronaldo.

Behind them is Kaka.

The midfield after Kaka is Ronaldinho and Alonso.

Nedved played the left wing back.

De Rossi single midfielder.

There are two central defenders and right back Lahm on the back line.

Ronaldinho's physical fitness has declined. First of all, on the offensive end, it will be difficult for him to get rid of people in the dense defensive area, because whether it is getting rid of or passing people, the most important thing is explosive power. Without explosive speed support, only It can just spin around in place.

Therefore, his position is retreated to play the role of his series organization. The offensive impact of the left half of the front field is reserved for Henry and Nedved, and the impact of the right half is handed over to Ronaldo and Ram. The impact of the center, Kaka, who was ambushing behind the striker, and Alonso, who was beside Ronaldinho.

Aldridge has his own wishful thinking, and Ancelotti will not sit still!

Contrary to Aldridge's expectations, and even all the audience did not expect, Milan played an extremely bloody and crazy attack at the beginning of the extra time!

Pirlo and Seedorf's tacit cooperation in the middle directly crushed Ronaldinho and Alonso!

This kind of crushing is not simply a comparison of technical ability, it is attacking and defending at the same time, and the defense is unstoppable!

Alonso is still used to having a complementary defensive teammate like De Rossi, and Ronaldinho is really unable to stop the opponent when the defense is broken.

In front of the penalty area, two No. 10 players passed the ball to each other, Pirlo shot a cold arrow from the outside, Bout saved the ball, and Thomasson who had just replaced the ball in front of the goal sent the ball into the goal!

Wow, Milan took the lead at the beginning of extra time! Thomasson who just came on the field became a hero! Millwall finally equalized the score in regular time, and they fell behind again at the start of extra time!

Ancelotti's hairstyle is a little messed up, and his excited smile looks a little out of control, full of passion!

A tasteless European Super Cup, the battle of wits and courage between him and Aldridge, in the hearts of the two, is actually no less than the Champions League final!

This is the first time they have met on the sidelines since they met. It can be said that they have been friends for a long time, but they have never had an actual combat experience. Such expectations have existed for more than five years. Aldrich may have somewhat downplayed such expectations in his heart, but An In Celotti's heart, it will only become stronger.

Who made Aldridge already famous?

Aldridge was expressionless, and gestured to the players on the sidelines, signaling not to give up!

In a game full of twists and turns, the mood is ups and downs, and the coach needs to calm them down.

But no one expected that Millwall continued to play counterattacks. After 10 minutes of overtime, Milan suddenly made another counterattack. Seedorf launched a long pass to counterattack. Forcefully press the middle, get rid of two steps horizontally in front of De Rossi and barely take a long shot. The ball hit Southgate. He blocked it with his body. The ball unloaded and bounced in the penalty area, and Thomason grabbed Nesta near the penalty spot and succeeded in grabbing a shot!

My God! Thomasson scored twice! Millwall fell behind by two goals in extra time, the game maybe, less than 5 minutes left!

The Milan fans in the Louis II Stadium raised their arms and shouted wildly, while the players on the Milan coach's bench and the bench stood up and cheered!

Ancelotti burst out laughing exasperatedly, and then proceeded to the last substitution with a serious expression!

Top coach, even at the last moment. Will also do both hands to prepare.

Some will succeed and some will fail.

But planning ahead is a must.

Under normal circumstances, when the situation is uncertain, Aldridge will not play all three cards. However, now the focus is on training the team, and giving up the last hand to the opponent is one of the costs.

If Milan does not score in overtime or loses the ball first, or if the attack is no longer a threat after leading by one goal, Ancelotti will replace Serginho. This Brazilian who can play as a winger will bring a new threat to Milan's wing attack!

But now it's two goals ahead. Ancelotti would not replace Serginho, he chose to replace Brocchi, and removed Pirlo, who would show flaws in his physical fitness and defense.

Strengthen your defense!

Before Millwall kicked off, Milan completed the substitution, and Ancelotti was in a state of air.

5 minutes, no, 4 minutes!

As long as you hold for 4 minutes, Milan will win the game!

Why?

Only 10 minutes into the first half of overtime.

But now UEFA is implementing the silver ball system!

Damn, this system was suddenly announced half a year ago.

This is much better than the golden ball system. If it was the golden ball system, Thomasson's first goal would have killed the game.

The silver ball system is a watershed in the time period for the game.

If at the end of the first half of overtime, the score is divided into winners and losers, then the game is over and the team with the lead wins!

If it is a tie, the second half of overtime will continue.

Seeing Milan's substitution, Aldridge's originally frowning brows relaxed, and he waved his arms desperately towards the players on the field, pointing to Milan's half, with a very clear meaning: attack!

Milan made a bad move!

If you don't change and keep Pirlo, maybe it will really kill Millwall.

But leaving a midfielder similar to a combination of engineers and soldiers, only Seedorf alone supported the overall situation. Aldrich felt that Millwall really had a chance to die.

In particular, they don't have to be afraid of the opponent's advance in the middle, and can fully implement the offensive routines they imagined!

Reversed to liberate Ronaldinho and Alonso.

why?

If Pirlo and Seedorf cooperate to advance forward in the middle, they will first suppress the starting position of Ronaldinho and Alonso's attack.

And replaced by Brocchi or Ambrosini to attack forward.

Why do you care?

Just try to restrain Seedorf to death!

Those who go forward in the midfield will be handed over to De Rossi. If he can't stand it, Aldridge may really want to use a knife to put De Rossi on the bench for a while.

No matter how much time is left, as long as the game is not over, Aldridge thinks there is hope for everything.

Because he once led the team to win the championship at the last minute, and once narrowly escaped death in the pinnacle of the European war at the last minute!

The more this happened, the more excited he was!

Millwall, too, should be excited!

This is the perfect environment for sublimating temperament and tempering will!

The problem of Milan's engineer midfielder was quickly exposed. Millwall's wave of offense failed. Confidence to control the ball and not lose it!

So, they passed the ball to Seedorf!

However, this point is too easy to be foreseen.

When Seedorf turned his back to receive the ball, Alonso sprinted from behind him and cut the ball away, and then Millwall's fast break.

The time left for them was less than 3 minutes, and they were working hard to create the miracle of scoring two goals in a row! (to be continued..) ()
