Thanks to the rewards of "Death of the Thief", "Qingqing Little Wolf" and "Materials Science Engineering"! ――

Millwall's offensive tactics were practiced after the New Year, five months ago, and were not the focus of training, with only one or two training sessions a week.

Those who haven't fully visited Millwall's big training cycle can't understand how Aldridge is motivating talented players and strengthening the team's defence.

He will make defenders put on unimaginably solid defensive systems, defenders can outnumber attackers, defenders can swing buses, defenders can even become free agents when they have physical superiority just to target a key offensive player.

His training is disorderly, this disorder refers to the routine, whether it is offensive or defensive, he will not draw a line for the players to copy to practice, such rigid training, not only useless, but also outdated.

So even if his disciples, especially the talented and talented attacking players, will feel that training under Aldrich is a hellish test, they will never feel bored, there will always be new problems waiting for them, testing, tempering, and inspiring them!

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

Using the "passive offside", Millwall already has this offensive ability, unlike after the emergence of this rule, many controversial penalties appear by chance, not deliberately by the attacker, Millwall can turn it into a means of their own attack.

It's just in the Premier League, in the games before the Champions League. They rarely encounter such an occasion to use. Plainly. There is no team that can completely limit them from scoring!

It was only when he was forced by his opponent to lose patience today, Xiao Luo had a whim, so he simply tried his luck and gave it a try.

Because Xiao Luo found a key point.

One possibility is that Aldridge has not taken the initiative to take advantage of it, but Mourinho did not take into account when he deployed before the game.

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

Strictly speaking, Mourinho is not the representative coach of the "swing bus". He's a pragmatist, he's a utilitarian, but that's not the same as putting a bus!

Now Porto, utilitarian, practical, and defensive, has not yet reached the realm of real bus.

His defensive philosophy is actually very similar to Millwall's.

The Italian chain defense is the core, but it does not fix the defensive zone in the 35-yard area in front of goal.

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

The reason is simple, not every attack. You'll definitely be able to do it!

It's not like every offense, your offensive player can go up and return faster than the opponent's counterattack advancement!

Suppose in an attack. You killed 4 players, and the opponent counterattacked, and there were only 6 players in the backfield, how to set up the bus?

In Porto today, it is Deco, Dellai, Maniche, Alenichev who will have to step up in the counter-attack, and they will not rely on just one player or two players to try to knock on the door of Millwall.

So Mourinho's team is not a big bus, in Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, maybe there are a few games that use extreme defense, it looks like a bus, but you can't use a few games to judge the coach's fixed style, that's out of context, too one-sided.

Or to compare, when Di Matteo coached Chelsea and led Chelsea to win the Champions League, it was a complete swing, because there was only one striker in front, and the backfield defense was almost shrunk into the penalty area, and when there was an offensive opportunity, it was almost impossible to see any Chelsea players rushing up to the front, but when Mourinho coached Chelsea or Inter Milan, when attacking, at least 3 or 4 players could be seen, 4231 or 433 formation, and the players in front must rush up, not to mention making McCone a world-class fullback at that time, the real swing bus, the full-back is not an assist.

Ironically, the buzzword "swinging the bus" in football circles came from Mourinho's own mouth.

Ironically, in the decade that followed, whenever Mourinho's team was tragically suppressed by the opposition's passes, fans would ridicule him with a bus.

Just like Porto today.

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

They can't control the midfield, are the midfielders like monkeys being played around, wasting their physical energy to rush back and forth?

It's not that they don't want to grab, the back line is afraid of grabbing and exposing the space behind them, and the midfielders can't grab the ball, so they can only retreat!

One qiē, all forced!

If you want to say what led to the emergence of this phenomenon, the first is Mourinho's own football philosophy, his style does not pursue passing control, so no matter which giant he goes to coach, the team he builds, the most important area in the midfield, the combination of players, you will see a clear style matching, but you will not find any pair of combinations that completely use pass control to drive the whole team to press, he wants efficiency, not the scene. The second is the European continent style of football concept in the sublimation and progress, the importance of passing and control abruptly, its own faction is moving towards the peak, this successful style of football power erupted, the scene suppression is extremely effective, Mourinho is not a god, he built the team is not invincible absolute king, after the phenomenon of being suppressed, the suppression of the side of the luck can not break the goal, the suppressed side of the sneak attack can not succeed, the scene seems, naturally become a certain side in the bus.

Porto aren't on a bus right now, so they won't be statically having at least seven or more men huddle in the 35-yard danger zone in front of the goal, relying on one or two people to sneak up and attack.

Their defence is based on the strength of the threat, when the opponent presses up, they retreat, and when the opponent withdraws, they push outward, ensuring that the space in front of the penalty area is tightly blocked.

This characteristic is a factor that Xiao Luo believes can definitely be used.

Thierry Henry stepped back and drew the opposition defence slightly. Create enough depth behind them.

Then Henry lunged forward. The opposing back line also retreated. But Henry is faster, but Henry is offside, the opposing backline will immediately stop, and in order to create an offside trap to ensure that there is no problem, and then move forward, it is this rhythm difference one by one, which is the best environment for Millwall to use "passive offside"!

Millwall's use of "passive offside" to rewrite the score on the field was like opening a Pandora's box. Disaster for Porto.

Their line of rearguard began to be chaotic, stemming from paranoia.

God knows if Henry will replicate the same goal the next time he runs to an offside position!

Thierry Henry's run was more threatening, and the threat was very intuitive, and in order to ensure that the opposition would not penetrate the defence in the same way, Porto's back line began to drop deeper!

Don't dare to make offside!

Invisibly, it expands Millwall's attacking space in front of the penalty area!

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

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

Carvalho and Costa dropped back to block space in front of goal where Thierry Henry's lateral translation hit the back of the net, while Valente and Pacos Ferreira also dropped back, while Nedved ran forward to the right of the front of the waistline to take Costinha with him.

Alonso crossed the ball diagonally to the right in front of Deco, and Schneider came up and crossed diagonally back to the front of the middle.

Two seconds ago, there would have been Nedved here, but now, Nedved and Costinha had run away.

Mendez guarded the place.

Ronaldo shook off Alenichev from the left and cut inside to the middle, Ferreira looked anxious, Ronaldo was getting farther and farther away from him, he could only close into the box, but it seemed that he couldn't stop Ronaldo, unless he switched to left-back.

Xiao Luo touched the ball in front of Mendes, paused, changed direction and accelerated, Mendes was directly erased, Mendes grabbed Xiao Luo's arm and was thrown away by Xiao Luo without hesitation, as for Mendes fell to the ground and signaled Xiao Luo hit his face, the referee did not say anything.

The sharp-eyed referee was so close to the scene of the incident that Mendes should have been awarded a penalty.

With Mendes already having a yellow card, the second yellow card must be more cautious.

Now Millwall continued to attack unaffected, Mendes fell to the ground, and the referee acted as a two-way countervail, and when the attack was over, he warned Mendes.

Costinha gave up Nedved to defend Ronaldo again, but his body's center of gravity was already slow, Ronaldo threw him away with another dribble, Costinha flew behind the side, Ronaldo was tripped a little, but Ronaldo staggered three steps and then re-stabilized his center of gravity and continued to dribble forward!

He was already rushing at full speed, and was pulled by Mendes, who was tackled by Costinha's side, which slowed Ronaldo's speed down again, but he could dribble the ball more smoothly.

At this point, Nedved continued to rush to the penalty area, and in the middle!

Henry moves left to hit the left rib.

Larsson smashes the right rib from the other side!

Three-line hair!

Porto's defensive line is full of fear, they all have Millwall's attacking players around them, all of them are famous, and those are the three Mr. Golden Balls!

They seem to have a sudden brain crash, and no one dares to rush out to stop Xiao Luo!

Xiao Luo slowly dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and there was still no interference around him.

He's got up!

At the moment when he got up, you can see how tacitly his teammates cooperate with him!

Henry stepped back and stopped in front of Costa.

Nedved retreated to block Carvalho.

Larsson shook off in front of Valente!

This not only blocks the interference of the opposing defenders on Xiao Luo, but also expands the angle of Xiao Luo's shots!

Ronaldo kicked a heavy shot, the ball flew between Carvalho and Valente, and the trajectory of the ball went from bottom to top and flew straight to the top right corner of the goal!

At a distance of about 15 yards, no one interfered, Xiao Luo shot with full force, and the angle selection was also safe, and the ball hit the Porto goal without any suspense!

"Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho! Unbeatable Brazilians! He dribbled the ball past the opposition midfield and Mendes and Costinha did their best to stop him, but to no avail! In the end, he sent the ball into the door of Porto with a powerful shot! Millwall leads Porto 2-0! 2：0！ Porto has almost no chance left! Want to reverse Millwall, is it possible? Is it possible? Porto, who have been passive since the opening, makes it impossible to see any hope! They are so pitiful, last year and this year, in the final of the Intercontinental Cup for two consecutive years, they met the mighty Millwall, Porto is stronger than last year, but Millwall is a hundred times stronger than last year! ”

The goal hit Mourinho in the heart like a punch, and he looked at the star-studded Ronaldo on the other side of the pitch, his lips moved slightly and he didn't know what to say, and then smashed the roof of the dugout.

Champions League final!

European Champions Cup!

Gone! (To be continued......)
