It wasn't until the twenty-ninth minute of the first half that Ronaldo had a chance to get a shot on goal.

Enrique leaned down the middle to receive Figo's cross pass and played it straight to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, who had the ball with his back to him, pulled the ball sideways and flexibly brushed Southgate's close marking, but he was just about to complete the turn, Elgra appeared in front of him, Ronaldo could only continue to dribble to the right side of the ball, this area, his shot angle instantly became narrow.

Southgate retreated behind Elgra and the pair re-established a double-layered defensive line, while Ronaldo continued to lead towards the baseline and suddenly kicked his feet halfway through.

With a tight angle, Bout securely sealed the near corner of the net, which was blocked by his foot.

Seeing this defense, the Millwall fans broke out in a cold sweat with nervousness, but Aldridge nodded with satisfaction.

Ronaldo, who has the ball, is a big threat, and when defending him, he must not rush to grab it, otherwise it will give him a chance to pass, and he will be very clean, except for fouls, there is no other way to contain this alien.

Southgate did not chase Ronaldo after the first stroke, on the contrary, he knew that Elgra must have appeared in front of Ronaldo, so he chose to retreat and continue to defend, not to give Ronaldo the space after the breakthrough.

The alien was forced to use his speed to break through to the outside, and the shot threat plummeted after that.

Millwall's defence has put a lot of effort into studying and freezing Ronaldo.

Especially this season's Ronaldo, he did not show too many passing skills, especially the signature pendulum pass. Take the ball and get rid of it on the spot.

This season, he relied more on explosiveness and speed, as well as flexibility to change direction.

After getting the ball, he rushed forward at a high speed. Unreasonably tell all opponents with practical actions: I am faster than you!

Only wait for him to go to Serie A. When he met the top backline, he had the next stage of his technical leap, and the reason was very simple, he just went to Serie A, and those defenders didn't pay attention to him, so he went on a rampage and played one defender after another with speed, but after that, the Serie A defenders were smart when they met him. Coupled with Italy's proud chain defense, Ronaldo's threat began to decline with speed alone, coupled with injuries, the alien had to start facing the defense line with another passing technique, that is, "deception", he got rid of the opponent in situ when he waited for the opponent to kick first, and then preemptively passed the opponent, and all kinds of passing skills from static to dynamic on the spot were performed under his feet, and it was not for nothing that he was called a passing textbook.

Now Ronaldo is like a speeding F1 car with the ball, and the defenders want to intercept it head-on. Basically impossible!

But it can't be stopped, and you can use guidance to make F1 deviate from the target trajectory.

Gareth Southgate and Elgra won't be easy to get out of the way. It is the defensive position and range that presses Ronaldo to the maximum away from the shooting area, even if it is not perfect, such as Ronaldo's sudden pause in the rhythm of the ball and then getting up and shooting, but until then, it is also one of the responsibilities of defenders to give the goalkeeper time to prepare.

Barcelona's attack was very difficult, and it made the Barcelona coaching staff feel as if they were seeing a repeat of a game, which was the first leg of the Spanish national derby against Real Madrid.

The increasing range of movement of the players at the back has given Barcelona plenty of support up front, as evidenced by Ronaldo's win of the ball four minutes later, as he had just three touches and zero shots in the first 28 minutes, but after the backfield came up to attack, he had two shots on goal in five minutes.

But the second shot was off target, and again, he didn't get his foot in a good position.

Two minutes later, Ronaldo tried to force his way through the middle, but this time, Southgate let the ball roll past him as he passed, and he was in the driver's position to engage Ronaldo in a physical confrontation, just as Elgra slotted the ball away from behind, and Ronaldo came back in vain.

Elgra broke the ball and took a step sideways before passing diagonally to the wing.

Figo reached out to intercept the ball, but it was half a metre short and just behind him, Schneider ran high enough to cut in, took a step forward after receiving the ball, and then passed the ball back to the front of the middle.

Nedved retreated under Pep Guardiola's pressure and in the face of the rolling ball, he kicked it back, and the coming Pirlo met it with a straight shot.

The ball was passed in seconds and directly penetrated the entire Barcelona defence, and the ball rolled in the middle of Cuto and Freil, and in front, Popescu was two meters away from the ball, almost touching, and Cuto and Freer were also about three meters away.

And just as the ball rolled past, Larsson stabbed like a sharp knife into the heart of Barcelona.

Before the Barcelona back line pressed forward, at this time it has not been withdrawn, Larsson took the ball and stepped forward with the ball and went to the meeting alone!

The Lions fans in the stands stared at Larsson's figure with wide eyes.

Henrik, be our hero!

Aldridge was also engrossed on the sidelines staring at Larsson single-handedly in the box.

His heart was beating violently, Aldrich's mouth was a little dry, and he even felt that today's tie was like a rope loop on the gallows, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Robson frowned, too late to lament that Millwall's counterattack was too fast, and prayed in his heart that Baia would have another world-class performance, so as not to live up to our expectations!

Baia also chose to abandon the door this time, he knows that this time he is facing the best striker in European form, although there is no shocking impact of Ronaldo, but Larsson is the king of efficiency! A well-deserved goal machine!

Larsson was fast, never hesitating when it came to shooting, and he was incredibly calm.

This time, he observed Baia's position and found that the other party abandoned the door and ran towards him, and Larsson decisively got up.

With twenty-five yards to go, Larsson swung his leg and shot on the run.

The ball flew up at his feet and flew into the sky with a strong spin.

It was obviously a curveball, but it looked a bit worrying because it seemed to fly very high.

Larsson was very confident in his shot. There was nothing Baia could do about it. The ball didn't just go over his head. And it's on the upper left side of his body, and he jumps or doesn't jump the same: he can't reach the ball.

Looking at the trajectory of his own shot, Larsson's eyes were determined and his fists clenched.

Larsson, who is about to turn 26, has a low-key life off the field, and he will not stir up topics of right and wrong in the face of the media, although the media is always comparing him to Ronaldo and talking about who is better. It seems that this is the fate of the top strikers, compare, compare, compare to Shearer, compare to Fowler, compare to the strikers who are at the top of the scorer list of all.

Five years older than Ronald, he has no intention of competing with anyone, he's just doing what he can do: scoring goals.

However, since the leader is steadfast in his claim that he is better.

So. Boss, I'll force it on you!

The ball crossed the sky with a rainbow and hung straight into the corner of the goal!

"Fantastic goal! A dazzling rainbow rises in the sky of Rotterdam. At one end of this rainbow is Larsson's right foot, and at the other end is the gate of Barcelona! Millwall was the first to score, Larson, Larsson, the incredible Larson, it was a pleasure to watch his goal, concise and sharp, a fatal blow! ”

Aldrich closed his eyes and roared, his hands clenched into fists and trembled in front of him!

Millwall's coaching staff rushed out and everyone hugged and cheered for the goal.

Larsson's expression suddenly brightened when he saw the goal, from a solemn look of deep hope to an unbridled smile, and he ran to the sidelines with open arms, as if a gust of wind had passed, and the fans in the nearby stands set off a crowd, and the signs held high by the fans were caught by the live TV camera, giving a few seconds of close-up.

"We don't have aliens, but we have the king of Earth: Larson!"

As his teammates grabbed Larsson and hugged him in celebration, fans in the nearby stands clenched their fists and shouted the names of the players at first, but after screaming, the fans made a gesture of worship to Larsson.

It was his 50th goal of the season in all competitions!

Schneider even knelt down on one knee to shine Larsson's shoes.

"The first half wasn't over yet, but Millwall's football had completely conquered the fans, I mean the neutral fans, in the stands except for the Barcelona fans who were expressionless, the other fans gave a standing ovation, we saw Millwall's passing speed was dizzyingly fast, the attacking routines were varied, they were like holding a remote control, precisely controlling the ball to roll around, in the process of scoring just now, Schneider, Nedved, Pirlo, Larsson, even if you count Elgra, Millwall needed just five shots, four passes and one shot to score! Watching the goal alone is a certain amount of ornamentation, but if you watch the goal process from beginning to end, it is the highest level of enjoyment! ”

After Barcelona conceded a goal, Mourinho told Robson: "This goal is exactly the same as the one we conceded against Real Madrid for the first time this season. ”

The transition between attack and defense is fast, the midfield is fast and over, the ball is simple and smooth with one kick, and then there is a fatal pass after the most outbreak, and the striker breaks the goal, which is as fast as lightning and cannot be prevented.

Robson shook his head helplessly and sighed, "That's true. ”

"The players in front should come back, Ronaldo can't get the ball near the penalty area, let him go back to the half to get the ball, if he can't get the ball, then drop back a little deeper, the whole attacking player up front should be like that."

Robson still shook his head.

Mourinho said a lot of advice and opinions.

'Millwall's stronger part is in their midfield, the Czech, look at his contribution defensively, when the ball was in our second half, he was keeping an eye on Pep Guardiola, if the ball went up front, he could drop back to the penalty area, and our midfielder, De la Pena, was on the defensive, where was the other guy?"

Mourinho only pointed out the tip of the iceberg of Barcelona's lack of defense, he didn't dare to say Ronaldo and Figo, if the matchup is compared, whether it is Larsson or Shevchenko and Trezeguet, when defending, at least can be withdrawn to the second half, which is the least!

And Barcelona 4231 top in front of the 31 quartet, only Enrique's anti-robbery defensive attitude is the most positive, the performance is qualified, and the others are compared with Millwall's players, and the pure defensive score is absolutely different.

This can't be changed all at once, La Liga originally pays attention to midfield control, once you can't control the scene, then you may be beaten and collapsed, but there are not many scenes of collapse of giants, they are used to more than 70% of the game is offensive, and the defense is naturally sluggish.

Robson turned his head to look at the chattering Mourinho and said in a deep voice: "Jose, you have to understand that when coaching a special team like Barcelona or Real Madrid, the task of the manager is not only to win, but also to win beautifully. ”

Mourinho opened his mouth, but chose to remain silent at the end.

There is no perfect team, and even if the manager finds a problem, he may not be able to fix it, and sometimes, it has nothing to do with the manager's ability, but is caused by too many intricate factors.

Millwall's goal gave them a boost of confidence and a more serious attitude towards the game, and they wanted to make sure they didn't leave the Netherlands with regrets at the end of the game! (To be continued......)
