687 Same strategy
Before Juventus left for London, the Italian media had concerns and doubts about Juventus.
The reason is Lippi's tactics, after three consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, Juventus entered a wave of six rounds of winless, Lippi, the master tactician, decisively changed the formation of play, before this game, from 442 to 352, in Serie A achieved a record of 1 win and 1 draw, the record has improved, but it has not yet reached the realm of great success, 352 is not good, and it is still groping and realizing.
When Aldridge led the team to challenge other teams, whenever the opponent put on a 3-back formation, no matter how the midfield positioned, Millwall's record was a complete victory, of course, this excluded the draw with Bayern Munich that year, after all, Bayern's 3 defenders at that time, among which Matthaus, strictly speaking, was not a simple central defender.
Aldridge seems to have a knack for seeing the flaws in a back three, and the Italian media are worried that Lippi's side could be crushed by their opponents.
Fortunately, Millwall did not send the main force to play, but at this time the score was still Millwall 1:o lead.
Italy's commentator on the scene said bluntly: "Millwall took the lead in breaking the goal of Juventus with a substitute lineup, the process of conceding the goal is clear at a glance, the back three looks like the number of defenders has increased, but in the most critical position, the defense is very weak, Ferrara If he can have the world-class level of the year, he will definitely be able to move over to intercept Kaka at the first time, but after he is seriously injured, the strength is no longer as good as it was back then, alas, if Lippi is determined to play the back three." Juventus may have to bring in another world-class centre-back, and Nesta is a very good candidate. ”
Lippi was thinking about this at this time. From 442 to 352, it is not his deliberate change, because 442 proved that this tactic is not suitable for the current Juventus in a wave of six rounds of winless, so changes must be made, as for how to change the best, Lippi also needs to re-examine the team.
Now that O:1 is down, Lippi is thinking about making some changes in midfield, though. Something he didn't expect soon happened again.
The Juventus players on the field were scored first by Millwall 2, and the players were angry on the field!
This is really going to lose, I have no shame to see Jiangdong's fathers!
So they were red-eyed, eager to equalize and pressed hard.
In a short period of time, the mentality has begun to become unbalanced.
Attack, attack, completely lose your mind!
Millwall stubbornly resisted Juventus' stormy attacking pressure in the 32nd minute. Trezeguet fired diagonally into the far corner from a tight angle in the goal, and the ball grazed the post and flew off the line under Barzagli's interference, shocking the Millwall players in a cold sweat.
Three minutes later, Piero was clever enough to get on the back of the net but Pagliuca was able to rise to the occasion and spread his body to keep the ball out, otherwise Millwall would have equalised.
Juventus' offensive is rising wave after wave. From 25 minutes to 4o minutes, it was almost a bombardment of Millwall's half.
The Millwall penalty area was full of dangers, and De Rossi, a rookie, was decent at the beginning in today's big scene, and gradually lost a little in the pressure. Frequently losing positions, only the ball in his eyes. Wherever the ball goes, he rushes to intercept it, more like a-stirring stick, if it weren't for Alonso's frequent help him fill in the position, and there are many people in the back position, I'm afraid this back line will completely lose the barrier protection.
Aldridge was not surprised, and he didn't expect De Rossi to play a brilliant game as soon as he came on the court, defensive players are not like offensive players, and offensive players are often easy to shine on the show, because opponents will despise and do not understand the technical characteristics of newcomers, and will be a little caught off guard.
Defenders, on the other hand, are not looking for merit but for nothing at the beginning, but how easy is it to say that they do not make mistakes against opponents at the top of Juventus' ranks.
Therefore, Aldridge has only been able to line up the back three to improve the margin for error, and at least two of the three will not have a big problem if they swing the dìng.
And Juventus's wild attack could not be attacked for a long time, and Millwall once again played a deadly counterattack.
This time it was Kaka who dribbled the ball from the back to instigate a counter-attack, and along the way, he and Villa and Klose always maintained a three-legged momentum to push forward, and encountered Juventus's encirclement and interception.
After seven passes from the trio, the trio came to the opposition penalty area, and Kaka had scored before, which was particularly noticeable, and this time, Kaka went diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.
In an instant, Juventus's defense made a mistake, Thuram and Montero had signs of going to seal Kaka, Villa in front of Montero took advantage of the opponent's center of gravity to tilt the ball horizontally, shaking out of the gap, Klose then diagonally behind Montero, Villa plugged straight, Klose led the ball, Ferrara moved laterally to intercept, Klose smashed the ball behind Ferrara, this rhythm stopped, Klose took the ball with people and passed by Ferrara, and then dribbled forward, and shot out with a strong shot!
Buffon was brave and fell down to block Klose's inevitable shot!
In fact, Klose took more of the step, but the angle was smaller!
However, Klose, the shooter with a keen sense of smell, did not just watch after the shot, Buffon did not fully hold the ball, the ball was blocked by him and bounced three meters in front of him, Buffon got up and stepped forward as if to press the ball under him with a hungry tiger pounce, but Klose reached out first and poked the ball with his toes.
Buffon watched in amazement as the ball rolled under his armpit, then closed his eyes and lowered his head, already hearing the cheers of the fans.
The ball rolled into the goal without any suspense.
“2:o! 2:o! Klose gives Millwall a two-goal lead! If there are fans, you must ask how strong is Millwall? Keep your eyes open and take a look! They didn't have a big player today, but they were able to take a two-goal lead over Juventus! Yes, it may seem that Millwall is passive, but it is in their unwavering counterattack that they have caused Juventus to fall into the abyss! Millwall has Hall, the master tactician, and Klose. Villa, Kaka. Alonso and so on are such exciting young talents! They can dominate European football for a long time, and as Englishmen, we can see how long the glory of the Lions will last! ”
Aldrich looked at the young men in celebration and was happy for them, clenching his fists in front of him for a moment.
Juventus' players look solemn and they certainly won't be discouraged.
The superficial way of saying is that Millwall took the lead by sneak attack.
The strength is definitely Juventus' advantage.
At the end of the first half, the score was 2:O. Millwall surprisingly led by two goals at home with a substitute line-up.
Juventus is not without opportunities on the field, but to say that the environment for the final blow is naturally not as good as the chances that Millwall bred in the counterattack.
Aldridge laid out his tactics seriously at halftime, and at the same time told De Rosier to calm down first, and look back on his performance in the first half, and it cannot be said that he had a bad appearance. Even in today's scene, he lacks a lot of experience in the arena, and his performance is already good.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Lippi returned to the dugout and sat down, his expression returning to normal.
Juventus attacked, which is understandable, and the shape shì started from the first minute. They only need to hold on to a draw to get a good result and have a chance to qualify before the final round of the group stage, but with Millwall fielding a substitute, they will have to take the initiative because of the strength of the team, or dignity. Even if it's away.
After conceding the goal, the attack cannot be stopped at all. If you lose this game, it will be tragic if you don't get it right in the last round.
It's time to attack, it's still going to attack, but how to attack, how to convert the advantage into a goal, this is a big test of the manager's ability.
Lippi's tweaks in midfield were evident in the second half.
Juventus still have the advantage and initiative on the field, but they are not impatient to threaten the ball, Millwall's back four and three midfielders protect the inside and outside of the penalty area, rashly pass the threat, the success rate is very low.
They patiently passed the ball from the perimeter, controlled possession, made frequent transfers, and used the width of the field to tear Millwall's defensive formation.
Aldrich was not surprised to see this.
If Juventus had been so patient from the start, Millwall would have been very passive today, and this style of play is not new.
Football tactics are the same in many places, the last game Millwall played Celtic away, Juventus faced Millwall in the second half, they all adopted the same strategy, not blindly pursuing a fast pace, ensuring the possession of the ball, patiently passing and cutting, and when the opponent's defense was slightly loosened and flawed, a wave of sudden attack was used to create a threat.
The means of creating such a threat are actually similar to the essence of Barcelona's TIkI-Taka tactics.
In the essence of the game, TIkI-Taka is to create space for the attack through guò possession.
For example, if you attack on the left side, the opponent's defense on this side will increase the strength, and then suddenly shift to the right side, and the right side of the attack space will become invisibly larger.
As for short passes, it's just means.
If the long pass can reach a success rate of more than 85%, it will definitely use the long pass to do the ball control, this ball control does not refer to dribbling, but refers to ensuring possession of the ball, Barcelona, Spain, why use short passes back and forth to the foot, so that some fans feel bored, because short pass is the highest success rate of ball control on the football field, compared to dribbling breakthrough, long pass transfer, short pass is undoubtedly the most stable, but the most stable, that is, the most difficult to create highlights, so some people will feel that watching Barcelona's game makes people drowsy, It's only exciting when the stars shine.
To say how shocking it is that TIkI-Taka has found another way, it is nonsense, among the offensive methods of the top giants, there will be similar tactical options to TIkI-Taka, such as the current Juventus is playing like this, but the top giants prefer diversified offensive methods, side breakthroughs, middle passes, individual performances, long-range shooting, rhythm conversion, etc., but Barcelona has practiced TIkI-Taka to the extreme.
Aldridge has also been thinking at times about how his current Millwall team will crack the opponent's style of play when he meets Barcelona of the Cosmos, and he has come to a hypothetical conclusion that he feels a little frustrated, perhaps a 55-open situation.
Especially when Barcelona are in possession at the peak, you can't ask players to run all over the field to press frantically, that will only expose more gaps, and in more than 6o% of the time, the opponent is in possession, and Millwall's attacking opportunities will be invisibly reduced.
Just like now, Juventus is not in a hurry to play fast, Millwall's formation is pressed forty yards in front of the goal, and they can't even get a chance to counterattack, because the opponent is not sure enough, they will not give you the ball lightly, no ball, how to counterattack?
