Millwall's offensive tactics were drilled after the New Year, that is, 5 months ago, and they were not the focus of training. They only deliberately emphasized one or two training sessions every week.

Those who have not fully visited Millwall's large-cycle training cannot understand how Aldridge stimulates talented players and strengthens the team's defense.

He will let the defensive players put up a variety of unimaginable solid defensive systems. The number of defenders can be more than the number of offensive players. A key offensive player.

His training is disordered, and this disorder refers to routines. Whether it is offensive or defensive, he will not draw a line for players to copy and practice. Such rigid training is not only useless, but also outdated.

So even if his disciples, especially talented offensive players, they will feel that training under Aldridge is a hell test, but they will never feel boring, there will always be new problems waiting, testing, tempering , excite them!

In the same way, honing defensive players can also do the opposite.

Using passive offside, Millwall has already had this offensive ability. Unlike this rule, many controversies and penalties appeared by accident, not deliberately by the offensive side. Millwall can turn it into a means of its own offense .

Only in the Premier League, in the games before the Champions League. They are rarely used on such occasions. to be honest. No team can completely limit their goals!

It was only when Ronaldinho was forced to lose patience by his opponent today that Ronaldinho had a whim and decided to try his luck.

Because Ronaldinho discovered a key point.

A factor that may not have been actively used by Aldridge in his eyes, and Mourinho did not take into account when deploying before the game.

That is Porto's back line, most of the time it moves and adjusts according to the defensive pressure, and the magnitude of this pressure is not large.

Strictly speaking, Mourinho is not a representative coach who puts the bus. He is a pragmatist and a utilitarian, but this is not the same as putting on a bus!

Now Porto, utilitarian, practical,

He pays attention to defense, but he has not yet reached the level of really putting on the bus.

His defensive philosophy is actually very similar to that of Millwall.

With the Italian chain defense as the core, it does not fix the defense zone within 35 yards in front of the goal.

And to put the bus, his offensive players must be further reduced!

The reason is simple, not every attack. You can definitely make it!

Not every time you attack, your offensive player can return to the defense faster than the opponent's counterattack speed!

If in an attack. You kill 4 players, but the opponent counterattacks, and there are only 6 players in the backcourt, how do you set the bus?

In today's Porto, it is Deco, Dellei, Maniche, and Alenichev who must step forward in the counterattack. Door.

So Mourinho's team is not a bus. In Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid, there may be a few games with extreme defense, which looks like a bus. However, a coach cannot be judged by a few games Fixed style, that is out of context, too one-sided.

Or to put it in comparison, when Di Matteo coached Chelsea and led Chelsea to win the Champions League, it was a complete bust, because there was only one striker in front, and the backcourt defense was almost retracted into the penalty area. When there was an offensive opportunity, almost I can’t see any Chelsea players rushing up to the frontcourt, but when Mourinho coached Chelsea or Inter Milan, when attacking, at least 3 or 4 players can be seen, 4231 or 433 formation, the front players must rush up , not to mention making Maicon a world-class full-back at the time, the real bus, the full-back does not assist.

Ironically, the buzzword busting in the football circle came from Mourinho's own mouth.

What's even more ironic is that in the following ten years, whenever Mourinho's team was extremely miserably suppressed by the opponent's pass control, the fans would use the bus to ridicule him.

Just like Porto today.

It's not that they want to put the bus, it's that Mourinho instilled the concept of team defense in the team.

They couldn't control the midfield. Could it be that the midfielders continued to be played like monkeys, wasting their energy to rush back and forth?

It's not that they don't want to grab the ball. The back line is afraid to go up and expose the space behind them. If the midfielders can't grab the ball, they can only retreat!

Everything is forced!

If you want to say what caused this phenomenon, the first is Mourinho's own football philosophy. His style does not pursue pass control, so no matter which giant he goes to coach, the team he builds will focus on the midfielder. In the most important area, in terms of player combinations, you will see a clear style match, but you will not find any combination that completely uses pass control to drive the whole team to press. What he wants is efficiency, not spectacle. The second is that in the sublimation and progress of the European-style football concept, the importance of pass control is abrupt, and its own school is moving towards the peak. When the power of this successful football style explodes, the suppression of the scene is extremely effective. Mourinho He is not a god, and the team he built is not an absolute king who is invincible. After the phenomenon of being suppressed, the suppressing party is almost unlucky and cannot break the goal, and the suppressed party cannot succeed in sneak attacks. Take the bus.

The current Porto is not setting up a bus, so they will not statically have at least 7 people huddled in the 35-yard danger zone in front of the goal to defend, relying on one or two people to come forward and attack.

And their defense is to adjust their movements according to the strength of the threat. When an opponent presses up, they will retreat.

This feature is what Ronaldinho believes can definitely be used.

Henry retreated, slightly drawing the opponent's defense out. Create enough depth space behind them.

Then Henry charged forward. The opponent's back line also retreated. But Henry is faster, but when Henry is offside, the opponent's back line will stop immediately, and in order to create an offside trap to ensure that there is no problem, and then move forward, it is this rhythm difference of up and down. The best environment for passive offside!

Millwall used passive offside to rewrite the score on the field, as if opening a Pandora's box. Disaster for Porto.

Their back line began to be confused, from paranoia.

God knows if Henry will replicate the same goal the next time he goes offside!

Henry's running is more threatening. This threat is very intuitive. In order to ensure that the opponent will not penetrate the defense in the same way again, Porto's back line began to retreat deeper!

Don't dare to offside!

Invisibly, it expanded Millwall's offensive space in front of the penalty area!

When Mourinho was thinking about how to equalize the score, the bad news came!

In the 43rd minute, Henry rushed to the offside position again. He didn't even look back, as if he didn't care where his teammates were behind him. Where is the ball and how is Millwall's offense developing.

Carvalho and Costa retreated to block the space in front of Henry's lateral translation impact goal. Valente and Ferreira also retreated. At the same time, Nedved ran to the right front on the front waistline and took away Costinia.

Alonso crosses the ball diagonally to the right in front of Deco, Schneider comes up and then diagonally passes back to the front of the center.

If it was two seconds ago, there should be Nedved here, but now, both Nedved and Costinha ran away.

Mendez guards here.

Ronaldinho got rid of Alenichev from the left and cut in to the middle. Ferreira looked anxious. Ronaldinho was getting further and further away from him. Block Ronaldinho unless he switches to left back.

Ronaldinho touched the ball in front of Mendes, paused, changed direction and accelerated, Mendes was wiped directly, Mendes' hand holding Ronaldinho's arm was thrown away by Ronaldinho without hesitation, and Mendes fell on the ground The ground signaled that Ronaldinho had hit him in the face, but the referee didn't say anything.

The fiery-eyed referee happened to be very close to the scene of the incident. If a penalty is to be imposed, it should also be imposed on Mendes.

Since Mendes already has a yellow card, the second yellow card must be more cautious.

Now Millwall continued to attack without being affected, Mendes fell to the ground, the referee took it as a two-phase offset, and warned Mendes again after the attack was over.

Costinia gave up Nedved and defended Ronaldinho again, but his center of gravity was already slow. Ronaldinho swung him away with another change of direction and dribbling. After a while, Ronaldinho staggered three steps and then regained his body's center of gravity, and continued to move forward with the ball!

He had rushed up at full speed, was pulled by Mendes, and was tackled by Costinha from the rear, which made Ronaldinho's speed drop again, but he could dribble the ball more smoothly.

At this time, Nedved continued to rush towards the penalty area, and it was in the middle!

Henry moved left and hit the left rib.

Larson cuts inside and hits the right rib from the other side!

All three lines!

Porto's back four are heartbroken, and they are surrounded by Millwall's offensive players, all of whom are famous, those are the three Mr. Ballon d'Or!

It seems that their brains suddenly froze, and no one dared to rush out to stop Ronaldinho!

Ronaldinho dribbled the ball into the penalty area slowly, and there was still no one around him.

He kicked!

At the moment of his kick, you can see how tacitly his teammates cooperate with him!

Henry took a step back to block Costa.

Nedved retreated in front of Carvalho.

Larson swung away to block Valente!

This not only prevents the opponent's defender from interfering with Ronaldinho, but also expands Ronaldinho's shooting angles!

Ronaldinho kicked a heavy shot, the ball flew between Carvalho and Valente, the ball tracked from bottom to top, and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

At a distance of about 15 yards, no one interfered, Ronaldinho shot with sufficient force, and the angle selection was also safe. The ball blasted into Porto's goal without any suspense!

Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho! Incomparable Brazilian! He dribbled past the opponent's midfield line, Mendes and Costinha tried their best to stop him, but they didn't work In the end, he sent the ball into the gate of Porto with a powerful shot! Millwall leads Porto 2:0! 2:0! Porto has almost no chance! Want to reverse Millwall, is it possible? Maybe Is it? Porto, who has been passive since the beginning, makes people see no hope! They are too pitiful. Last year and this year, they faced the powerful Millwall in the Intercontinental Cup final for two consecutive years. Porto is stronger than last year, but , Millwall is a hundred times stronger than last year!

This goal was like a heavy punch on Mourinho's heart. He looked at Ronaldinho, who was surrounded by stars, on the other side of the field.

Champions League final!

European Championship Cup!

Gone! (to be continued..) ()
