Speaking of Blackburn's manager, at the beginning of the 21st century, not many fans will remember him and understand him, even if it is a new generation of local fans, if there is no Red Army DNA, I am afraid that they will know very little about him, just as an unknown Scottish coach.

However, 24 years ago, he set a new record for the transfer fee of an English club, joined Liverpool as a player, formed the golden midfield of Liverpool at that time, and served as the core, creating the Red Army that dominated the domestic scene in England at that time and established a dynasty in Europe!

His name is Souness, Graeme Souness, and his first season with the Reds was when he assisted Dalglish in the Champions League final to score the Reds' winning goal to the top of Europe!

In his time, he was a radiant star.

It is conceivable that he and Dalglish are the same era, no matter how brilliant the player era is, coaching is two different things, as a player, he can despise Aldridge, but as a manager, just like his former teammate Dalglish, lost to Aldrich, there is no need to be unconvinced, many old rivers and lakes are Aldrich's defeats, he is in the field of coaching, the five major leagues, he only led Liverpool to win an FA Cup in the last League One.

The advantages of the older generation of coaches are experience, and the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, the concept is outdated, unable to keep up with the changes of the times, and lacks innovation.

And the longer you spend in the past era, the easier it is to be restrained.

For example, influenced by the British style of exalting and playing high, Dalglish returned to the world ten years later, and the Liverpool skills and tactics led by him obviously could not keep up with the times. On the contrary, there are signs of retro regression. This is a norm for old coaches. The reason for Ferguson's success also comes from the fact that he still maintains the innovative thinking of young people in the old coach's column, Manchester United failed to transform this season, and the end was miserable, but from Ferguson's determination and will to change, just this courage and thinking, it can be seen that it is extraordinary, and it is someone else. Don't say that you don't have the courage to try, I'm afraid you won't think of breaking through the innovation revolution in your thinking.

Is it Souness who is afraid of Millwall fighting a war of attrition? Or is he himself unwilling to be so cowered and passively beaten?

The answer is known only to him.

Perhaps what influenced his change in thinking was the experience he gained during his career as a player and before his coaching career.

Aldridge originally had the opportunity to play against Souness in his first year in the UK, but unfortunately, it happened that at that time, Souness fell out with Liverpool's top management and left immediately, and did not return to the UK to coach Blackburn Rovers until 2ooo.

In the league, Millwall vs Blackburn, this is obviously a weak confrontation that is not enough to worry about. It was no surprise that Millwall had swiped a winning streak on Blake themselves.

Due to the repeated defeats of Millwall in the previous league games, Souness had to arrange defensive and counter-tactics in this final. But when the game was going on, he reversed the arrangement again, and then, Blackburn still conceded the goal.

Souness stood on the sidelines with mixed feelings, and when their old friends met in private, Dalglish said: I am luckier than you, because when I was in charge of Newcastle United, Millwall was not as strong as it is now, and the current wild lions make opponents feel desperate.

Souness listened to it at the time, but he didn't care about it in his heart.

Dalglish is outdated, he has made a name for himself at Blackburn Rovers, but he has been in decline at Newcastle United, going to Celtic as technical director a few years ago, and he has also combined with Barnes, who was once a favorite as manager, and is known as the perfect combination, and the result? Celtic's performance was a disaster, Barnes was sacked, Dalglish personally coached Celtic, only to be thrown off by arch-rivals Rangers at the end of the season to win the title, and latecomer O'Neal only needed one season to reverse Glasgow Rangers and put Celtic back on the throne.

That's the reality gap, and Souness thinks that way because he has wonderful memories in Scotland, where he won a basket of trophies early in his coaching career, leading Celtic's arch-rivals Rangers.

It wasn't until he stood on the final floor that Souness knew the gap between him and Dalglish.

This gap has nothing to do with coaching ability, but with realm.

Dalglish has always looked at Millwall with a kingly mentality.

Souness led Blackburn to face Millwall in the past season and a half, it belongs to two worlds, Blackburn loses and loses, no one will care, just like Crystal Palace lost to Manchester United, will the fans and the club's management, within the team, be angry? Furious?

No, we are not a team of the same level, and the weak side does not have that sense of crisis, and it seems to be taken for granted to lose.

In the final, the meaning is completely different, the sense of crisis, the desire to win, the meaning and pressure brought by the championship, Souness has changed his mentality towards the game upside down.

He had to think about it, he had to rethink Millwall and Aldridge, and he had to do a lot of things that he wouldn't do or think about when he played in the league.

But it was under such a change of mentality that he realized that Dalglish was telling the truth!

It's a pity that he woke up too late, and now, Blackburn is one goal behind, and there is only one thing he can do, desperately let the team attack!

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Southgate led the backline, with Gattuso Alonso as the lead, the overall back line pressed forward, and pressed Blackburn Rovers in the midfield.

Blake didn't expect that it was time for him to attack wildly, and Millwall didn't retreat back to counterattack, directly stifling their midfield organization attack, and then turning the gun and killing them by surprise!

It's Ramour again!

He watched for a second after winning the ball on the left and sent a long diagonal ball down the flank towards the back of the box.

Villane cut straight to the back of the net, but the opposition defender couldn't keep up with him when he turned around.

From a very small angle, Villa bravely rushed forward and jumped forward to head the ball at the goalkeeper, only to see the ball fly into the net between the arms of the goalkeeper who blocked the near corner of the goal.

After the header hit the goal, Villa, who fell out of the bottom line, didn't care about anything else, and turned his head directly to look at the linesman. The linesman did not raise the flag to signal him offside. The referee also whistled his finger in the middle circle. Signal that the goal is valid.

Villa stood up and rushed to the sidelines, kneeling in celebration.

"Well done! Villa helped Millwall lead Blackburn 2:O, his brave and fearless head shake is really wonderful, I believe he must have a very high appreciation for the moment when he flicks his head at a small angle in mid-air, the outside world thought that Villa would be another excellent academy product for Millwall a few years ago, but it was not until this season that he reached the heights that people expected, but. Now for him, it's just the beginning, just the beginning. ”

Aldridge excitedly rushed to the sidelines and waved his arms in celebration, and Ramour, who scored a brace in the assist, and Villa, who scored with a header, made him very excited, which proved the strength of the Lions, not only those names that shine in football, but also these players who can't share the light of big stars, their growth and progress. It represents the future of the team and a great addition to the present.

The first half ended. Millwall led by two goals.

Souness was awakened by the second goal he conceded and walked into the tunnel with a calm face, and now that the team is going through a difficult situation, he knows that just attacking blindly will not help the team to turn around, and he needs to think calmly about how to deal with it.

With a two-goal lead, Aldridge naturally has nothing to adjust, the key is that the difference in strength is obvious, and he doesn't see any tricks for Blackburn to deal with Millwall.

Before the start of the second half, Aldridge returned to the dugout to sit, his expression calm, which is his usual demeanor, and he will not show a winning posture in advance until the game is over.

Souness also calmly returned to the stadium, he stood on the sidelines, saying what mood it was to not appear, a little apprehensive and expectant.

I am worried that my tactical changes will not work, and I hope that I can bring the dawn of victory to the team.

After the start of the second half, Aldridge watched the game for five minutes and suddenly sighed.

Blackburn has changed!

Long pass rush hanging!

This tactic may be outdated in modern times, but never, never, it will never be outdated!

Because there will always be a phenomenon on the pitch of "a long pass to the opponent's danger zone, and the striker seizes the opportunity to make the final decision".

The formation will be outdated, but the tactics will not, no matter how old the tactics are, maybe the tactics of a hundred years ago are no longer used today, that is only because the tactics of the past were too simple, and now they are richer, and the tactical system of the core of the past is now only a part of a new set of techniques and tactics, which does not mean that the tactics of the past have disappeared.

Blackburn is playing long passes and rushing to hang, and they can swing the advantage of their players, which is to be physically strong!

When the British swept Asia, Chinese fans would call Blackburn a violent book, which was not named because of the style of the game, but when the team name was translated into Cantonese, Blackburn translated Cantonese was somewhat similar to the violent book, you must know that Blackburn who won the British championship at that time, the technical and tactical play is very pleasing to the eye.

It's just that there was a relegation experience later, in the English League that relied on physical confrontation to survive in the environment, Blackburn Rovers to recruit or rebuild the team's skills and tactics, must conform to the survival environment, back to the UK, in order to relegation, the cards in the hand are not good, so in order to survive in the UK, the style of play is slightly rough and tough, which is not uncommon, among the relegation teams in the leagues of various countries, there are always some teams that can only rely on physical confrontation and aggressiveness, and the name of the violent book is also more impressive because of their survival status, but the root is not here.

In this season, Blackburn Rovers are relegated without worry, so they can't fight to the death with other opponents on the field, and form endless grudges, especially the fierce and rough style of play, which is most likely to lead to disputes on the field, so the current Blackburn has a big gap with the "violent book", but their player team is really good, which is a strength, and it should be waved or waved.

"The other party's halftime is really a lot of effort."

Aldrich sighed.

Klinsmann laughed: "Souness figured out some of the factors that should have been figured out or thought of before the game, and finally figured it out at halftime. ”

"Now that it's playing like this, Blackburn may not have a chance."

Aldridge was talking, and the situation on the field changed abruptly.

A high ball came from Blackburn's backfield, in the midfield area, Gattuso couldn't get the first time to get the land, but there were no Blackburn players there, so the ball bounced off the ground and continued to bounce back, and the second drop will be in the area between the big penalty line and the small penalty line.

Materazzi and the opposing striker turned to chase the landing point at the same time, Materazzi was one step ahead, but the opponent fell on physical contact.

The referee blows the whistle to stop the game and points to the penalty spot.

Materazzi went to grab the second drop point, naturally he didn't care about what was behind him, at that time, how could he have the kung fu to look back, he controlled the ball, but saw that Schneider was not in position, but trotted towards this side, the direction was not quite right, he looked back, and now the referee blew the game, he realized that he was awarded a foul, and gave the opponent a penalty.

Materazzi picked up the ball with an innocent wry smile, he was grumpy, but this time he was really confused, he didn't know what he did and was judged to be a foul, in fact, his first thought was that his teammates had fouled someone, but now other teammates seem to be non-parties to the referee to protest, he realized that he fouled.
