387 Rock-paper-scissors, good pits
Due to his appearance in the Champions League last season and his exit from the Champions League group stage this season, many players from Dynamo Kyiv have been targeted by first-tier European clubs, including Kaladze who has even been favored by AC Milan of the Rossoneri, and striker Rebrov has several invitations from mid-table teams in the mainstream leagues.
This group of players knows that this season's Champions League should be their most promising opportunity to impact better results for Dynamo Kyiv, and next season, the strength of their squad will inevitably decline.
They are united to hold on to an acceptable score at Wembley before returning to Kyiv to play to their home advantage and try to win again.
If Dynamo Kyiv were placed on an equal footing, they would certainly not be strong enough to get a ticket to promotion from Lens and Arsenal, but with the obvious advantage of home advantage, they used tactics and strategies to explode into amazing success.
Aldrich will not despise this Kyiv Dynamo, originally in history, just this year, who was the opponent eliminated by Kyiv Dynamo in the quarterfinals?
Defending champion Real Madrid!
They won 1-1 on the road and came back to home with a clean 2-0 victory.
Aldridge wanted Dynamo Kyiv to fight back from behind, but the team's tactical literacy was admirable and fearful.
Even if Dynamo Kyiv is behind by one goal, it still focuses on defensive counterattacks, crazy interceptions in the midfield, counterattacks rely on the cooperation of two or three people, and the results of the play depend on the effect, and if the success of the play is not to retreat and arrange the defensive line.
As Dynamo Kyiv adapted to playing away from home and into the game, they didn't give Millwall another chance to play a succession of multi-foot passes.
The Millwall attacking group, who scored a goal, thought the opponent was a soft persimmon. Murderous to the next city. Pirlo was ready to play after receiving the ball in midfield. Suddenly frowned.
One of the key points in the five-man attacking group is what Aldridge focuses on in training, no matter whose feet the ball is, there must be at least two people running out of space in different directions to meet the ball as a starting point.
However, Pirlo found that Nedved and Larsson, who were running, were surrounded by opposing players, and Ronaldo was too far away, and Henry wanted to wait for the next pass before responding, so Pirlo could only pass the ball back to Schneider who crossed the halfway line.
Schneider faced an interception in front of him. He couldn't find a spot for the ball either, and after barely making a one-two with Pirlo, he passed the ball back to Pirlo.
Aldridge saw this scene on the sidelines, gestured to the players in front of him, made Ronaldo and Henry drop back a little deeper, at least pass the ball to the frontcourt, and then let them play individually to tear apart the opponent's defense and disrupt the opponent's defensive deployment.
Even if you concede a goal, you concede a goal in the front court.
The midfield is the area where the ball is most taboo to lose, and once the opponent steals in the midfield area, it successfully launches a counterattack. The consequences are unimaginable.
'Dynamo Kyiv have been impeccable defensively in recent times, with Millwall unable to form an effective link up front. They should try to get the full-backs to step up to assist, increase the attacking points and force the Dynamo Kyiv defence to stretch, which will be more conducive to their attacking players finding open positions, after all, even if Dynamo Kyiv plays a counter-attack, only two or three people can rush to the front line when they push forward in the first place. ”
Millwall didn't create any more chances in the first half, with the score fixed at 1-0 and the two teams going into the dressing room.
Aldridge made some minor tactical adjustments at half-time to deal with the strategy of Dynamo Kyiv's defense today.
At the start of the second half, Millwall's attacking group began to go on a rampage!
'It's weird, Millwall's front line is empty, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho, Larsson, all lined up and back and, uh, look, they're almost parallel to Nedved, Millwall is more like a four-man midfielder.
This area is too crowded before crossing the halfway line to the Dynamo Kyiv penalty area, but at least Millwall can control the ball here, there are a lot of people.
As the head of the defence, Hrovka spoke to Kaladze and then went to the manager.
Their back line was not under pressure, but they didn't dare to press too high, for fear that the opponent would throw them away with speed after hitting the ball.
But seeing that there is no advantage in the midfield line in front, they are also anxious.
Lobanovsky gave instructions to the players on the pitch through his assistants.
Hold steady on the back line, don't press forward!
After 15 minutes of the second half, Aldrich saw that the back line of Dynamo Kyiv was not moving!
He crossed his waist and smiled silently.
Let the front line retreat collectively, I really want to play a little trick to lead the snake out of the hole, as long as the opponent's back line presses forward, or a player can't hold back the grab, then the back line will show flaws, Henry, Larsson, Ronaldo, Nedved, these four people have space to sprint, which speed does not blow up the opponent's defender?
Since the other party is not fooled, then make the next move.
Aldridge didn't need to remind the players that they had been given a reminder at half-time.
Fight alone!
"Ronaldinho's old mistakes are back! Obviously you can pass to Nedved when you are free, but you don't pass the ball, you have to pass the defender in front of you, oh, look, the ball is broken, wait, the referee blows the foul, Haskovic has a hand movement when he breaks the ball, this foul is not obvious, but the referee is aware of it. ”
The free-kick was not in a good position, it was 37 yards from the goal, the shot was remote, and the pass was more appropriate.
Dynamo Kyiv was the whole team involved in the defense, and the Millwall defenders also came up to scramble for the header.
Ronaldo, Pirlo, and Schneider stood in front of the ball, and the three looked at each other, as if they were looking at each other.
There is a rule in the team that a long free-kick from long distance is given to Schneider and a shot from range is given to Andrea Pirlo, and Ronaldo is second in both categories.
However, in the absence of Pirlo in the first half of the season, Xiao Luo's direct free kick effect was also good, with assists and goals, and the level was at least to the extent that he could play statistics.
The three of them looked around, and Schneider, as the most senior member of the three-person squadron, opened his voice.
"Guess the box."
Pirlo and Rowe raised their eyebrows and agreed.
Rock-paper-scissors. Xiao Luo eliminated.
Rock-paper-scissors. Schneider wins.
"Hahaha. Millwall has a lot of players with good free kick footwork, the three people standing in front of the ball are good, they use guessing to decide who takes the penalty, it seems that Ronaldinho is the first out, he walked to the side with a depressed face, the camera tells us that Schneider won, Pirlo retreated. ”
The players of Dynamo Kyiv were nervous and saw their opponents play guessing on the field so easily. It's not a good place, but there's no way, it's better to defend honestly when you fight away, and go back to Kyiv to teach them a lesson!
Schneider smiled at Pirlo before the penalty: "I'll cover for you." ”
Pirlo blinked quietly.
Schneider ran up, and everyone thought that he would take this free kick if he won the guess box, so it was a cross!
However, Schneider ran in front of the ball, and Pirlo stepped forward and knocked the ball sideways after Schneider's figure dodged in front of the ball.
Xiao Luo, who was unmarked in the middle, received the ball, avoided the shooting angle blocked by the opponent's wall, and shot directly from a distance!
"Millwall's free-kick is a brilliant combination! Ronaldinho long-range fire! The force is heavy and heavy against the turf. Go straight to the corner! Huh! Materazzi didn't dodge and the ball deflected off his leg. The ball is in! The ball is in! Millwall wait, wait, the linesman raises the flag, Materazzi is offside! The goal is invalid! ”
The boiling stands at Wembley fell silent again, and the fans enjoyed the free-kick just now, and Millwall even hit the free-kick to make people marvel.
Xiao Luo crossed his waist and looked at Materazzi who was running back with a wry smile.
Materazzi was also depressed, and Schneider's feint tricked everyone.
He was ready to grab the header, so he rushed forward, and the back line of Dynamo Kyiv naturally followed him, but after Pirlo pushed the ball to Ronaldo, Dynamo Kyiv's defense began to rush out to block the angle of the opponent's shot, he took a step back slowly, and was startled, the ball shot by Ronaldo flew in front of him like a meteor, he jumped and didn't jump away, hit the leg and refracted and flew into the other side of the goal.
But whether he dodges it or not, the ball will be blown off, the rules are like this.
"Next time you want to play feints, don't even cheat your teammates! Grass! ”
Materazzi shouted disgruntled at Ronaldo as he ran back, and Ronaldo looked down and smiled, then brace himself to mark the opposing player.
In the following period, Millwall continued to make fouls through the superior ball control skills of the frontcourt players, and then threatened the opponent's goal through set-pieces.
Pirlo tried two shots, the first sliding out of the net and the second bounced off the crossbar and was cleared by Dynamo Kyiv, and he felt a little bit of luck today.
When the 84th minute came, Millwall got another set-piece opportunity, Henry pulled to the left side to change positions with Ronaldo, and saw that he was about to force overtake from the outside, but was viciously knocked to the ground by Luzny, which was obviously a foul that blocked the progress, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.
Pirlo, Schneider, and Ronaldo stood in front of the ball again.
"Strangely, it should have been better for Schneider to give the ball to Schneider, his in-turn ball can provide an assist to Millwall's header, the goalkeeper is also a headache to defend, Pirlo and Ronaldinho should give Schneider the chance."
The trio continued rock-paper-scissors, and Schneider was lucky, and he won again.
However, while all three were still standing in front of the ball, Schneider turned to Ronaldo and asked, "You feel good about shooting today." ”
Ronaldo nodded, if Materazzi hadn't been on the route just now, his long-range shot would have hit the corner of the opponent's goal.
"Then you come."
"Are you running to cover?"
"No, if you shoot directly, I guess they all think it's fake."
Xiao Luo thought about it, maybe it was true, the first few set-pieces, they all covered, and now a sudden kick should have a surprise effect.
It was a free-kick from 45 degrees on the left side of the box, and Ronaldo curled a shot at the back of the goal after the referee signaled that he could take the penalty.
After the ball flew out, the players of Dynamo Kyiv were visibly stunned.
How did he?
Didn't you lose the by guessing boxing?
Do you understand the rules of guessing?
Is your game the first shot you lose?
The ball crossed the air in a mesmerizing arc, and goalkeeper Shovkowski did not expect the opponent to spin the ball directly behind the goal, and hastily moved to reach for the ball but did not touch it.
The fans in the Wembley stands were ready to applaud and cheer for the brilliant goal.
But, when!
The ball bounced on the post!
Just when the Kyiv Dynamo was glad that he did not die, on the flight path of the bounced ball, someone jumped high and hit the ball with his head, and consciously pressed down to control the angle.
"The ball is in! Millwall led Dynamo Kyiv 2-0 and Nedved's header gave Ronaldinho's free-kick no regrets, and they scored again! Truth be told, Ronaldinho's direct goal was a bit disappointing, and if that goal had gone in, it would have been a fantastic goal, but Nedved made up for the disappointment of the Lions fans, and now it's time for Hall to settle down, with a two-goal lead and a Champions League semi-final in sight!
