Thanks for the reward of "Rain Leaf Shower"! ——

After the goal, Liverpool were unforgiving, and the routine was clear at a glance, with a quick transition in midfield, and then a surprise attack from the left flank to tear up the gap in Millwall's defence, and then the midfielder and striker outflanked the middle.

Millwall's automatic adjustment was also very fast, Makelele took the initiative to help defend Schneider's side, and Ballack was no longer frequently plugged in, honestly doing the rough work of sappers in the midfield, and after receiving the ball, he sent it directly to Nedved in front.

This is also a common adjustment of Millwall's tactical switch, playing a stronger 433 when the upper hand is dominant, and 4231 when the opponent is ferocious, first based on the defense in the middle and back, and then taking advantage of the opponent's pressure to play a quick counterattack.

McManaman faced Schneider one-on-one with a very high success rate, but after Makelele's initiative came over, Schneider could concentrate on defending the opponent's bottom, which made McManaman encounter difficulties, and his kick-to-foot cross was extremely reluctant, and even the last two minutes of the first half were directly cut off by Makelele.

By this time, Liverpool's formation had been overpowered, Makelele broke the ball and picked up a deft cross into the midfield, Nedved picked up the ball near the centre circle and turned around, Barnes and Borg were dropping back from the back, but Nedved was quicker and he started and strode forward with the ball.

Redknapp Jr. stepped back as if he were facing a big enemy, he was not in a hurry to grab up, but stepped back first, and formed a defensive system with the central defenders to contain the opponent's attack.

Trezeguet pulled out of the box to respond, and after Nedved came to the edge of the box, Redknapp Jr. was finally going to close up. Nedved changed lines and headed for the right side. Redknapp Jr. followed closely.

Suddenly. A shadow came into view on the right, and the pressure on Redknapp Jr. increased dramatically, and he stared at Nedved, who was the ball carrier and the most dangerous one way anyway.

Nedved crossed with Larsson, which caused Redknapp Jr. to stop abruptly.

What about balls?

He jerked back, then lunged at Larsen.

Cunning Czechs!

At the moment of the crossover of the running position. The ball at Nedved's feet disappeared with him, he didn't make a pass, more like he ran over it, the ball stayed where it was, and Larsson happened to rush past him and take it with him.

Redknapp Jr. was clearly thrown away by Larsson because of the rhythm of his body, and when Larsson took the ball to the line of the penalty area, Liverpool's two central defenders were immediately alert, Scalles pounced, and Babu stared at Trezeguet.

Larsson was almost in an embattled situation. There's Scalles in front and Redknapp Jr. on the right. There are also follow-ups from Barnes and Borg behind him.

But the calm Swede slid the ball diagonally between Scalles and Babu.

Trezeguet didn't move for the first time, waited for the ball to pass before he began to flank the goal, Babu hesitated between chasing the ball and chasing the man for half a second, slowing his start, and just behind him, Nedved, who had just crossed with Larsson, came back and went back to the penalty area unmarked, and received Larsson's through ball that tore through the defense.

At a 45-degree angle in the penalty area, Nedved met the ball with a push, and James, who abandoned the goal, stretched his legs to block, looked back, and his heart sank to the bottom.

The Lion's Den Stadium cheered and shook the sky.

After the goal, Nedved shook his fist with one hand and waved at the fans in the stands.

'Millwall equalised towards the end of the first half and it was a crucial goal! The scorer was Nedved, and it was a tacit cooperation between Nedved and Larsson. ”

"The topic is back to the most heated discussion, when Millwall's winger frequently cuts diagonally into the middle, and Nedved in attacking midfielder or midfielder changes from the role of passer to killer, his burst into the box will surprise defenders, as long as someone can pass a lethal pass, then he has the ability to score, Liverpool have to attack, so there is space at the back for Millwall to cooperate, how to limit this attack? Obviously, a single midfielder doesn't work, Redknapp Jr. works hard but he doesn't have a lot of coverage, so it's hard to blame him for giving up on Nedved and marking Larsson because that's where he defends. ”

The first half ended quickly and the players from both sides walked into the dressing room.

Aldridge entered the locker room and stood in front of the tactical board, his expression a little cold.

'There were a number of reasons why we were passive at the beginning, the most important of which was that you underestimated Liverpool and maybe the last four wins against Liverpool made you ignore them, but what was the result? They played a good 45 minutes with a more positive attitude and you could have created more chances, but you paid the price for your mental carelessness, David, especially you, tell me, can you keep me trusting you in the second half? ”

Trezeguet's performance in the early stages of the first half was mediocre and his rigid positioning was a displeasure for Aldridge, who needed strikers to be able to drop back and respond and to be committed in defence.

Aldridge does not require the striker to run back into his own box from the front, but the depth of the retreat should at least reach the center circle, and it is a direct harassment of the opponent's central playmaker, rather than a casual walk back to the center circle.

Trezeguet wanted to speak again and again, and he could only say loudly: "No problem, I will try hard in the second half, boss, you see." ”

He actually wanted to say that Glen Schal, the left winger, he is good at sending down crosses, and I want to score a few goals at the front.

But he also wondered if the quality of Glenschar's crosses in training was not as bad as it was today.

Aldridge laid out the key points in the defense, then named Glen Shire, drew a line trajectory on the tactical board, and said: "Yespe, you play like this in the second half, as long as you are sure on the wing, whatever you want, and then when you are close to the 5 to 10 meters before the big penalty line, change the line and cut in, and when you get close to the middle, choose whether to shoot or shoot through your observation, if it is a ball, then after the ball." You just give me a diagonal insertion into the ribs of the restricted area. Do you understand? ”

Glen Shire hesitated. In fact, Aldridge has been teaching wingers to cut inside, not to cross underneath, because undercut crosses can allow fullbacks to do this job, wingers are dangerous to cut inside with the ball, and running diagonally in the ribs without the ball can also attract defensive attention, and as long as you change direction to the middle, there are immediately more options for the ball. There is a response in the middle, the wing makes room for the full-back, the striker runs, etc., if you are clinging to the wing, there are too few options for the ball, and it is very easy to take the ball to death.

If Liverpool hadn't sent three midfielders to make the area in the middle look crowded, Glen Schal would not have repeatedly gone to the bottom, but he felt that there was no room to develop in the middle and chose to go straight ahead.

However, since the head coach has named him, he should have made a military order and patted his chest to ensure that the task is completed.

Back on the field in the second half, Aldridge sat down again. The score was still a draw, but he chose to put his faith in his players.

If they had been warned at half-time, there were still people who couldn't put their heart and soul into the game. Then the player will definitely disappear from the starting line-up for the next game.

Liverpool's players are still very motivated, for them, today's game is not a three-point win, a point for a draw, and zero points for a loss, but a revenge battle for dignity and face, and the significance has long gone beyond the victory or defeat of the game itself.

Because of McManaman's suppression on the left, Millwall's right attack front can only rely on Larsson alone, which makes his air cut difficult and easier to be marked, but Millwall's left side, Glen Schal, has been playing on the wing in the first half, so Zambrotta has not stepped forward to assist the area, so the two wings of the front attack are rigid and inefficient.

There was a change in the second half, Glen Charles relied on speed to eat McAtier no problem, and then cut inside with the ball, and after he cut inside, Zambrotta, who quickly came up on the side, attracted Jones's attention, plus the forward run, Larsson on the other side inserted, Nedved responded in front, Ballack was also ambushed behind, and Millwall's offensive was immediately alive.

But the key point is Glen Shire's choice and ability to handle the ball.

In the first fifteen minutes, he cut inside with a long-range shot that was ridiculously wide, and then began to choose to pass, and the effect was getting better and better, when he passed the ball and cut into the ribs of the penalty area, disrupting Liverpool's defensive line, Nedved created a chance for Trezeguet and Larsson each, but failed to score, and even Ballack came forward to grab a long shot, but the footwork was not well controlled, and the deviation was a little outrageous.

Liverpool began to be somewhat suppressed, their players were not reconciled, so they invested more personnel in the counterattack, McAtier, who was defending on the right side in the first half, felt that since he couldn't stop Glen Char, it was better to use the attack to suppress, so he also assisted, making Liverpool's attacking options more numerous.

This attack, the scene immediately burst into passion, both teams are not the kind of long pass rushing rough play team, the ball on the ground pass cutting speed is unusually fast, one side of the attack is almost less than ten seconds after the end, turn around and the other side is in the city.

Barnes fired a long-range shot into the bottom right corner of the net, and Bout flew out to hold the ball in his arms, causing a round of applause from the audience.

'Millwall's first-choice goalkeeper for the new season is really reassuring, he's younger, he's more consistent than Keller, it's the kind of save that a strong team needs, and it has a different effect on the morale of both teams, Liverpool must be frustrated, while Millwall's players will have a more calm mentality.'

Bout didn't waste time after saving the ball, he got up and threw the ball to Zambrotta, Schneider didn't dare to pass it, Schneider was too embarrassed today, he was ravaged by McManaman again and again, fortunately he was in a good mental state, he was not destroyed confidence, and it can be seen from his expression and movements every time he defended that he was working hard, not fouling rudely.

Zambrotta took the ball and passed it to Ballack, who took the ball in front of the right, who played the ball to Glen Charles in front of the left.

The ball looked like a knife ball, and Glen Charles and the opposing full-back Jones were about the same distance from the ball.

But Glenschal was quicker, and he and Jones scrambled to get the ball away, first to get the ball away, and then to the inside to burst in, sending the stands to a roar.

As soon as he started, Liverpool's backline became noisy again.

Nedved was free to run and Glenschal crossed the ball to Nedved on the edge of the box, then rushed forward with no loss of speed, and Nedved slammed into the box in the face of the incoming ball, giving Glenschal a chance to score a one-on-one goal.

Glenschal was probably too fast, he was a little reluctant to shoot with his feet, only the tip of his toe touched the ball, and he tried to hit the near corner, but the ball flew into the far corner.

James was also shaken by him, seeing that the opponent's action was to shoot hard, why did the ball fly lightly to the other side?

While!

The ball hit the far post, Glen Charles lost his center of gravity after shooting and fell outside the bottom line, watching the ball not go in, his expression was extremely lost, but the next second, the ball bounced back to the direction of the penalty spot, and the sensitive Trezeguet slapped his horse to arrive, jumped up and shot with the arch of his foot, and the ball flew into the goal.

James was a step slower to pounce and got up and yelled at Barb and Scalles at the backline.

Why are you missing people again?

The two defenders are relatively innocent, they are not afraid of the opponent's direct cooperation to find Trezeguet, what they are afraid of is the sudden change in rhythm, as soon as Glenschal shoots, everyone's attention becomes to focus on the ball, which naturally has a flaw.

Trezeguet pulled his jersey and rushed to the sidelines, smiling and waving at Glenschal on the ground. (To be continued......)
