Valencia and Millwall players entered the stadium, each with their chests held high and determined to win the game.

Even though the outside world is not optimistic that Valencia can snipe Millwall in the top 8, how can Valencia be caught with their hands tied?

The outside world is not optimistic, it is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with them.

"We saw that the players from both sides had come in and stood in a row, so let's look at the names of both sides.

Valencia fielded a 451 formation today.

Goalkeeper: Canizares.

Defenders: Angeloma, Ayala, Pellegrino, Carboni.

Midfielders: Albelda, Baraja.

Defenders: Mendieta, Aimar, Killy Gonzalez

Striker: Karui.

Millwall, 433.

Goalkeeper: Pagliuca.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.

It can be seen from the lineup that Millwall is stronger, but the strength on the football field is only the foundation, and who will die depends on the duel between the two sides on the field in 9o minutes. ”

Compared to last season's configuration of one of the best midfield pairings in Europe, after the departure of Gerard and Farinos, Valencia bought Baraja and formed a double midfield with Albelda, which can be called one of the toughest midfield combinations in Europe.

In the winter transfer window, Valencia bought the talented teenager Aimar again, and the Vicente and Joaquin watches that Millwall loaned to them were good, but they were not their own people after all, and it is estimated that Valencia Club also has its own ideas. The pre-season shortage of major generals is in a hurry to go on loan. Wait for the first stage of the Champions League group stage to finish and advance. The income has risen sharply, and their minds are lively, and maybe there is a little pressure on Joaquin and Vicente to make it easier for them to buy in the future, in case these two are too hot, they can't afford the transfer fee.

The Mestalla was in a constant uproar, and the cheers of the fans on both sides did not cut in the slightest after the start of the game.

After 5 minutes of testing and adapting to the rhythm, the two teams opened up and accelerated the pace of the game. Real knives and real guns began to fight.

Generally speaking, the 18o minute game in the round system, the first leg will be slightly convergent, but against a top team like Millwall, Valencia really doesn't dare to be too conservative in rhythm, can't win the opponent at home, go away, more than lucky!

And it also has to do with their own technical and tactical play.

The ultimate defensive counter-attack, Cooper took this set to the limit in Valencia.

The outside world also can't blame Cooper's tactics for any problems, whether it's anti-football and overly utilitarian or something.

Cooper's cards dictate that he could only play defensively.

Two full-backs, Angeloma and Carboni. I'm 36 years old now!

If you don't defend against it, how can the full-backs have the ability to go up and down. Even if the teams in the middle and lower reaches can drag down their wing defense back and forth, this is not enough, there must also be a double back to protect the backline, especially the rib space between the fullback and the central defender, to improve the error tolerance, so that the back four plus the double back, no matter how the front is designed, must be based on this, and therefore, the defense is the best choice.

Millwall was a pressing force up front, and Aldridge was no surprise to him.

The opponent's two full-backs can't go up, because they can't come back if they go up, so they hold the back line firmly and turn around, Millwall's two wingers don't have that heavy defensive tasks and can focus more on attacking.

Veterans have the advantage of veterans, as long as they don't give the opponent enough space to be eaten by degree players, and have rich experience in anticipation, positioning, interception timing, assistance defense, etc., last season's Champions League final Valencia's rout, the media agreed after the game that Gerrardo replaced the unplayable Carboni guide.

The biggest change in Millwall's attack today came from Ronaldo, Aldridge deliberately gave him the task in the tactical meeting, not to rush the wing and take the inside line, but to get closer to the middle and strengthen the cooperation with Nedved.

Although Albelda and Baraja have good defensive capabilities, they are still powerless in the face of Xiao Luo's initiative to come to the middle and cooperate with Nedved.

Xiao Luo first played a trick on the side to provoke the opponent after the opening, and a flick of the tail broke through the Angloma defense, but the effect was mediocre after the bottom cross.

His threat, not to mention Valencia, is known throughout European football.

When Ronaldo took the initiative to lean towards the middle and gave up the left side to Zambrotta, Angeloma did not dare to press up and force the scramble for fear of losing his position, and Ronaldo alone in the middle made Albelda and Baraja feel pressure, especially when Ronaldo controlled the ball, they did not dare to rush up and always pay attention to the distance between themselves and the back line.

In the 11th minute, Xiao Luo controlled the ball in front of the penalty area, and made a fake action on the spot, Albelda was like a ghost, for fear of being passed and retreated half a step, but Xiao Luo stood up straight and stood in place, on all sides, there were Valencia players on the defensive, the front defense stood still, and there was Mendieta back to help defend.

Xiao Luo Feng picked up the ball on the spot as if it was light, and it passed over Albelda's head, as if it also shocked his heart, and his eyes widened and he immediately turned his head to look back.

Henry jumped up for the header and consciously moved to the side.

Before the ball could hit the ground, Nedved took the ball in with his chest as he rushed forward and broke through the entire Valencia defence.

As the Valencia defense dragged relatively far behind, although Nedved seemed to have a single knife, but it was too close to the goal, Canizares decisively abandoned the goal after Henry's header, and when the ball landed on Nedved's chest, Canizares had already lowered his center of gravity and came to a meter in front of Nedved.

Nedved forced his feet and fired a powerful volley.

Bang!

Exclamations erupted from the stands of the Mestalla.

The ball bounced off Canizares' shoulder.

The fans of the Bat Legion immediately doubled their applause and applauded Canizares for his fearlessness.

'Nedved's shot was blocked by Canizares with his body and Millwall's attack was effective, tearing apart Valencia's defence straight from the middle.

Valencia had just escaped. Larsson's header at the back post was denied by Canizares for being too high.

The 36-year-old Carboni obviously couldn't stop Larsson's sudden inward cut.

The Valencia fans in the stands are already starting to worry.

The scene looks. Valencia have the advantage of home today. The disadvantage is even more obvious than last year's final!

Two minutes later, Mendieta instigated a counterattack at the back and drove directly to the front with a big foot.

This long ball went past Gattuso's defense zone and went straight to Valencia's arrowhead, Norwegian striker Kalou!

Kalou had his back to Millwall's penalty area and landed two metres in front of him, and Materazzi behind him was unable to get close for the first time, so he waited patiently and calmly for Kalou to take the ball and turn around. At that time, it was the best time to break his ball, and he would definitely be able to win it!

But after the ball fell, Materazzi looked at Kalu's back, suddenly raised his head and scolded angrily in his heart: I bought a watch last year!

I don't know if Karui did it intentionally or unintentionally, obviously he had enough space and time to stop the high ball, and he also made a step forward and stretched out his foot to stop the ball.

However, the football bounced at his feet on the lawn, and he himself seemed to be startled by the bouncing ball, and then turned to chase it in a panic.

The ball bounced off the ground and went just over Materazzi's head. Flying behind him, Materazzi unexpectedly saw the ball fly overhead. He immediately turned around, only to see someone flying forward two meters in front of him to chase the second drop of the ball.

Keely Gonzalez!

From Mendieta's long pass, Gonzalez ran inside from the wing.

Schneider himself can follow the opponent, but seeing that Carew can get the ball, Materazzi is guarding the defensive area, Gonzalez is suspected of offside before Carew receives the ball, Schneider and Materazzi are parallel, if Carew stops the ball and turns to pass the ball to Gonzalez, Gonzalez falls into the offside trap.

But by mistake, Karui didn't stop the ball or touch the ball, and the ball flew through the midfield, bounced off the ground and crossed the back line.

Materazzi can interfere with Gonzalez if he takes a step up, but he has to use his hands!

Materazzi gave up on this idea, although Southgate on the other side was already running to fill the position, but if he fouled, it would be a red card, this is Valencia's home stadium, and he can't afford to take this risk!

Gonzalez chased the ball on the edge of the penalty area, Pagliuca had already abandoned the goal, Gonzalez did not hesitate to volley, Pagliuca made a save but was powerless.

The ball flew in from the inside of the far post and hit the side-netting, showing how tricky the angle was.

"Valencia scores! Gonzalez's beautiful long-range shot pierced Millwall's goal! In the 16th minute of the game, Valencia scored a goal! Their counterattack was so powerful that even the defending champions couldn't parry! ”

The narrator is a little undisciplined.

Valencia played a dangerous counter-attack in the 16th minute, it was the first time to score, and it was definitely crooked.

If you want to say that Karui made a stop action and didn't touch the ball and it was a feint, then he is simply a god, not only has long eyes in the back of his head, but also can accurately predict the trajectory of objects.

It's not uncommon for a striker to leak the ball and cover his teammates for a change of direction, but he's never seen a striker use a high ball to bounce twice to cover a teammate, and if Karui really thinks so, he won't panic and turn to chase it.

The stands of the Mestalla were boiling, and the fans waved their fists as they cheered, as if they had taken revenge and vented their evil breath!

Materazzi raised his hand to Pagliuca with a calm face to indicate that it was his problem, and then spread his hands towards Schneider to explain something.

Thanks to Mendieta's long pass, the rebound is quite fast, if the strength is a little smaller, Materazzi may not have to chase back, and he can clear the ball with a header after two steps back.

Cooper's expression on the sidelines was still very solemn, his face strained, but his eyes were filled with a nameless flame.

Valencia can only play defensive counter-attack, Millwall's offensive is so strong, and now although the goal is ahead, the shape is still not optimistic.

One, not enough!

In addition to avoiding being scored away by the opponent, 1:o to go away, the probability of Valencia advancing is still below 5o%.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines unmoved by the team's loss of the ball, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

Judging from the first 15 minutes, Millwall's advantage is obvious, and there is no need to panic if they concede goals now, they are here to score away goals today.

In fact, Valencia plays defensive counter-attack, and Millwall can definitely limit the opponent's goals if they are also determined to defend and counter-attack, but Aldridge feels that he has the ability to press the attack, even if it is away, if Millwall abandons the style, it is against their football philosophy.

Against a team of equal weight, it is no problem to play defensively on the road, but against opponents who can create a good chance, Millwall should play more aggressively. (To be continued......)
