Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

There are no changes to Millwall's main squad for the new season, but there are obvious changes to the individual players.

From the opening of the day, one of Millwall's players became the protagonist on the field, but it felt quite strange to the audience.

Ronaldinho!

Tactics required him to form a first-line defensive barrier when the opposition attacked, and he did it, and did it better than Aldridge expected.

He was like a beast, frantically scrambling, extremely aggressive, and the first yellow card after the opening was actually given to him!

Aldridge reminded him on the sidelines to be mindful of his movements and not to receive a second yellow card, and Ronaldinho nodded seriously and gave a thumbs up above his head to continue to focus on the game.

There is often unfair treatment of players on the pitch.

Some players who are active in fighting are always more marked as sappers, as if the pure skills of the players are disdainful of doing this kind of dirty work, and it is their job to concentrate on playing with the art of their feet.

Therefore, Nedved's technical talent is overlooked, and no matter how successful he is in breaking through with the ball, it seems difficult for the audience to associate him with a technical talent player.

And Xiao Luo's performance today subverts this impression.

He shows two extremes through and through.

Crazy counter-robbery when switching from offense to defense, more diligent than the sappers, actively running from defense to offense, and showing talent from the first second of touching the ball after pulling out the gap.

Even stopping is trivial, the accuracy of the pass with the back with the eyes closed is amazing, and the continuous change of direction in a small area of breakthrough coherence is even more inexplicable.

What the hell happened to him?

Fans of the Lions seem to be asking questions from the bottom of their hearts. It wasn't like the little Luo they had seen before.

The Brazilian boy who would put on a bitter smile after a mistake or conceded a ball and apologized to his teammates or felt sorry for himself. Today, even if you fail, you will not hesitate for a second. immediately launched a counter-robbery, as if he was running all the time, and he didn't give himself breathing space.

Aldridge thinks that Ronaldo may still be haunted by demons, but of course, it seems that the demons that can make him so energetic may be more beneficial to his career development.

Tottenham certainly can't defend with an equal number of players, so they put nine players in defence. The inner and outer three layers cast a strong fortress.

Millwall was under no pressure at the back, with the front line pressing forward to make room for the back, and Zambrotta and Schneider pressed up to play on the perimeter or shoot from a distance.

Although Millwall did not score in the first 25 minutes of the game, they dominated the field and bombarded Tottenham's goal repeatedly, destroying the nerves of the opposing defenders.

Millwall's attacking group can pass and pass, and players also pursue simplicity and speed when handling the ball, if they want to break through people, they will firmly pass the opponent directly after touching the ball, and if they want to pass the ball, then they will kick the ball, and the rhythm will run fast and smooth. Even though Tottenham has a lot of defenders, they are still dizzy to mark. There is a lot of danger in front of the goal, if it weren't for the human wall to resist, maybe the ball would have been lost.

"Larsson was brought down on the right side in front of the penalty area, the referee blew for a foul, it was a free kick, Schneider came up, he chose to take a quick free kick, a short pass handed the ball to Nedved, Tottenham just seemed to be preparing to put a human wall, there was a large gap in the back line, Nedved started into the penalty area with the ball at high speed, and crossed on the bottom line! Henry grabs the penalty in front of goal and the ball goes in! Millwall scored in the 29th minute of the game and it was Thierry Henry! ”

Thierry Henry's goal ignited a fire of passion in the stands, and Aldridge jumped up and shook his fists in celebration, showing a wild expression.

Graham's expression was grim, not so much that Tottenham was playing defensive counter-attacks, but that Tottenham was completely passively beaten!

As the Millwall players finished celebrating and walked to the backfield, Aldridge glanced at Graham not far away.

You conceded the ball first, what's the matter?

Don't you fight for it?

Don't you gamble?

If you lose this game, can you go back to White Hart Lane?

Graham didn't move on the sidelines and didn't make any adjustments, but Tottenham's players started to change on their own initiative.

They don't want to lose, or rather, who can stand just being beaten and not fighting back? Just pluck up the courage to rush it!

Tottenham began to rise in formation after the restart, adding connecting points up the front, but they could not control the midfield at all, and after the midfield fell into the downwind, the third line fell into a completely disjointed state, and the formation was cut to pieces by Millwall's high-pressure pressing.

Makelele made a successful steal and handed the ball to Andrea Pirlo, who found Henry with a pinpoint long ball over the top, but Henry's one-on-one shot went just over the crossbar, causing a sigh from the stands, and then there was applause, and Henry turned around and gave Pirlo a thumbs up after missing the goal.

Four minutes later, Tottenham played a high ball to find the fulcrum of the attack, Materazzi headed it clear, and the retreating Nedved headed the ball to Zambrotta on the wing, who dribbled forward at high speed, and after half-time, he was pressed and handed the ball to Ronaldo on the wing.

After Xiao Luo took the ball, he first got rid of the opponent's fullback laterally on the spot, and then cut inside with the ball, facing the Dinghaishen needle Sol Campbell on the Tottenham back line, Xiao Luo's speed did not decrease, but when he was two meters in front of the opponent, he turned his head to look at Henry who retreated to respond, Campbell was confused by Xiao Luo's action, and the action was slightly hesitant, Xiao Luo did not hesitate to take the ball from the opponent's side to kill, when Campbell turned around, Xiao Luo cut inward again, leaving his back to the opponent, facing the goalkeeper who attacked, Xiao Luo suddenly stopped, and then gently dialed the ball to the right of Lu, Larsson meets the ball and shoots into the empty net.

"My God! Martin, did you blink just now? Blinked? Ronaldinho ravages Tottenham's defence! Unbelievable performance! Unbelievable! ”

"I believe that at this moment, in addition to the fans of Tottenham, the audience watching this game is all impressed by Ronaldinho's performance, and in this game, his touch of the ball is the highlight! Get rid of the side and run at high speed. Campbell looked like he was easily broken. But. Looking back at the slow motion, we can see that Ronaldinho's action of turning his head to look at Henry before breaking through him is strongly deceptive, and Campbell's focus is deceived by the other party's eyes! In fact, Ronaldinho can finish the shot on his own, although the goalkeeper attacked, but I believe he is fully capable of shooting the ball in, but he selflessly sent an assist to Larsson, now we don't doubt that Real Madrid's summer bid of 30 million pounds for Ronaldinho is crazy! He's so much more than that! ”

"Ronaldinho has potential and is becoming a superstar! Martin. If he can continue to perform like this, he will definitely be one of the few superstars in football! ”

"Andy, how would you define this superstar?"

"We often see such a phenomenon in football, that is, a good player has an explosive performance in a season, and is suddenly praised as a star, but then the player's performance will not meet people's expectations, in fact, it is not the player's ability to decline or the decline in form, but when he has fame, then the opponent will study him and limit his play in the game. The average star is just a good overall performance in a season, but what about a superstar? I think it's even when the opponent focuses on him. Limit him, mark him, but still can't stop him from playing, then, he is a superstar, Ronaldinho has been famous last season, Tottenham Hotspur is very strict with his marking today, but we often see that in the game, he can still show his talent in the face of the bag defense! ”

"Maybe Tottenham's defence is terrible?"

'Maybe, that's why I said he has the potential to be a superstar and I can't say anything about it yet, he can improve further, but at his age we can't find a better player than him.'

The goal just now, Larsson's outflanking was driven by the striker's consciousness, but he really didn't expect Xiao Luo to pass the ball out, and his steps were a little chaotic, and the last thing was to lean his body and try to maintain the shooting action to push the ball steadily into the empty goal, and he fell down after the shot.

Xiao Luo walked to help him up, and Larson smiled and asked, "Why didn't you shoot?" ”

The goalkeeper attacked, but the gap was so big that Xiao Luo paused, as long as he calmly pushed the shot, the goalkeeper would definitely not be able to return to the sky.

Xiao Luo scratched his head, glanced at Henry, and said, "He just flew a single knife, and I was afraid that I would fly myself, so I would pass it on to safety." ”

Henry smiled wryly and said, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

Xiao Luo finally smiled, the smile that fans are familiar with that can bring happiness.

Aldridge was also caught in a "happy tangle" on the sidelines, turning his head and spreading his hands to his colleagues in the coaching staff and asking, "What did he pass for?" ”

It's not that he can't pass, but in fact, the pursuit of shooting efficiency is a very strict part of Millwall's training, so let the players not think too much, seize the opportunity in front of the goal, and shoot when they should shoot!

In the most dangerous shooting area, the sense of scoring must absolutely suppress the sense of cooperation, otherwise the excessive pursuit of cooperation may not be a good thing.

Klinsmann and Jensen smiled and shook their heads, how could there be an answer to such a question?

Between lightning and flint, the choice of players may be subconscious, and there is no reason.

Klinsmann turned his head to Jenson and whispered: "He hasn't played before, and if he has a career of more than ten years, he rarely thinks too much about touching the ball, and sometimes many actions are like reflexes. ”

Jenson shook his head and pouted: "I haven't played football either, I was eliminated by Ajax before becoming a coach. ”

Klinsmann's expression became embarrassed, and Jenson laughed.

Graham's face was no different from the embarrassment.

Tottenham, Tottenham, is not Millwall's opponent at all, and when the quality of the players reaches a certain level, even if the technical and tactical restraint cannot turn the situation around.

Tottenham is old, small, relying on veterans to get by, and buying some broken copper and iron to supplement the squad every year, accumulating it, it has become such a mess, say upgrading, right? There are young people in the team, but it's a pity that they can't pick up the big beams. Let's talk about tearing down and rebuilding, right? But all the money spent in the past has been lost, and the economic situation of the Tottenham club is not good, who let the current chairman be cheated by the black and gold coach Vinables

Millwall's fast-paced cross-cutting and high-pressing tactics lasted only 60 minutes, and by the 15th minute of the second half, the score was already 3-0, and Zambrotta fired another shot from distance, and Millwall began to slow down and play patiently.

Aldridge made successive substitutions to rest some of the main players, but Ramour, who came on the field, surprised him, allowing him to play Nedved's position, although the defense dropped a notch, but he came on the field in 70 minutes, and after 5 minutes, he played a delicate one-two with Larsson, he passed the ball and went straight into the penalty area, Larsson knocked him back, and Ramour volleyed into the top corner of the goal from a small angle to extend the score.

The offensive coordination seemed simple, but Aldridge saw the merit of Lamore's interspersed runs that cut straight to the weakest link of the opposition's defence.

In the end, Millwall defeated Tottenham 4-0 without blood, making a good start to the road to defending the title in the new season. (To be continued......)
