Seeing that the team conceded the goal again, the stars in the front of Real Madrid could not hide their disappointment, losing the ball is equal to the blow, which is inevitable, but in the face of the blow, there are two effects, either destroyed by the blow, demoralized, or stimulated by the blow, stimulating the ambition to face the difficulties, the reason why the Millwall team does not care about conceding the goal, because in the face of losing the ball, they have cultivated the habitual mentality of attacking back and making the other party pay the price.

This is what Millwall has shaped in successive victories and a soft championship journey.

At this stage, Real Madrid's morale naturally cannot plummet because of a goal, but the difficulty of the game has increased by another level, from needing to score 3 goals to scoring 4 goals.

After the restart, Real Madrid regrouped to organize the attack, and Zidane played very average from the beginning of the game, which cannot be said to be bad, only to say that there are no bright spots.

His playmaking area starts in the front and back areas of the midfield, he doesn't dribble too much, just talking about explosiveness, breaking through, he is not the top, his top is stopping, controlling, protecting, passing, so he is often seen to carry out horizontal pass organization, and then insert himself forward.

This is his style of play and habit, to avoid the weak play, he runs forward, and his teammates pass the ball back to him, then he can play the advantage of stopping the ball, controlling the ball, protecting the ball, getting rid of the spot in a small area, tearing apart the opponent's defense and finding the gap.

The advantage lies in his horizontal passing, which ensures the success rate of the pass, the stability of the attack, and his stopping and holding the ball to allow the attack to continue, which is an integral part of the offensive system with a guaranteed success rate.

When it comes to the number of games, people always say that Zidane of the national team is better than Zidane of the club. But in international competitions. Zidane's direct assists and goals in open matches are average. But he's still important, and it's conceivable that he's not the lethal passer and finisher in the athletic game, even if he's scored some important goals, but his on-field role is actually to ensure offensive efficiency, rather than the most intuitive offensive threat.

Zinedine Zidane played well in the last game, and the reason was that Millwall's defensive midfield line was one and a half numbers. Zidane crossed in the midfield, inserted himself forward, and when he came to Pirlo and Gattuso's defense area, he responded again, Pirlo can basically play a harassing role, and the rest is to rely on Gattuso to defend frontally, and the space Zidane has can show his ability.

But in today's game, Nedved retreated. Whenever Zidane organized an attack and then stepped forward, Nedved and Pirlo were in front of him. The pair did not go out to snatch Zinedine Zidane, which was a key point in Millwall's defensive training.

This makes Zidane feel very tricky in the forward midfield area.

In the dribble breakaway highlights we see many superstars, we often see a similar scenario, such as the alien facing three or four, or even more defenders to grab head-on, the alien continues to shake, turn on the spot, pluck the ball and pull the ball, change the rhythm and change direction to break through, and then one person directly penetrates the two defensive lines, breaking through at least three defenders.

On the other hand, the defensive highlights of some defensive masters, such as Maldini and Nesta, when they are defending, they never rush forward to grab the ball in advance, and they will always see that the player who breaks through with the ball moves first, the ball leaves the foot, and the moment when he moves forward, or the moment he changes direction to break through, he is accurately stuck by the defensive master, and the worst can also fall to the ground and tackle the ball to destroy it, clean and neat, and wonderful.

This is the essence of frontal defense, and why defense can be called the art of Italy, the player's defensive habit is not to grab, not even close to the opponent, in the defense is to "start behind", "first strike", whether it is body movement or foot, your body center of gravity is handed over at that moment, like Zidane, even if his back is to you, you stretch out your feet to grab, he can gracefully pull the ball and turn around, avoid your defensive center of gravity, when your body center of gravity returns to balance, He has gone from turning his back on you to passing by you.

The more you face the players with strong ball protection and ball control ability, the more the defenders can't lose their center of gravity, so some later screenshots of the game, such as the picture of Iniesta being sandwiched by the opponent's 6 people and 7 people, the meaning is two layers, one is that he has strong ball control, and the second layer is that the defenders are actually doing a good job, in that situation, the defenders are stuck in the position to block the route, and they stand still.

Zidane encountered such a situation today, Nedved, Pirlo, Gattuso will not rush to grab him, just stuck in the position, Zidane does not have the explosive speed to eat the opponent, so he needs help, only Figo and Raul can play a role in the frontcourt.

But Raul is in the forward position, and he has more defensive pressure than Zidane.

Figo is from the side to the middle, Millwall's defense is very solid, the more the opponent's attack develops in the direction of the goal, the less room for the attack to play, but Figo can at least ensure that he does not lose the ball, he can only break through and develop further to the side or pull the space on the perimeter to shoot long.

If the ball is handed to Solari, it will be dangerous, he comes up to help Zidane share the pressure, but in the face of huge defensive pressure, Pirlo also consciously blocked the passing route between him and Zidane, Solari's creation is not enough for him to deal with such a scene, so he is the player who makes the most mistakes in Real Madrid's attack, passes the ball to no avail, breaks through and is tackled, dribbles the ball to a dead end and then passes to his teammates, turning into a knife mountain ball.

After 30 minutes, Zidane struggled to make a difference in the middle, so he began to develop to the wings, and seeing this, Aldridge felt that the game could rest easy.

In fact, Zidane is very prominent in the national team table, the role is obvious, and it is also related to the tactical system, behind him, there is a tough double back, and the French national team is not the kind of play that oppresses the opponent, so when the offense and defense are converted, the pressure and space encountered by Zidane in organizing the attack are very considerable, Bosque's last game is also an attempt to transplant the French team with Zidane's method, there are Makelele and Elgra double backs to escort Zidane, but unfortunately the back line Pavon is too unreliable, But overall, Zidane's last game was still very good, and in some important attacks, he was involved in the period, even if it was a transfer of the ball, showing his ability.

But in this game, Real Madrid not only had to attack aggressively, but also weakened the defense, Zidane's play was limited, and Millwall changed the formation.

He pulled down the flank and crossed the ball to find Morientes, only to be cleared by Southgate's header and the door wide open in the middle of the pitch.

After Gattuso stopped the ball, he turned directly and passed the ball lightly, like a clearance, and like a pass, there was only one Solari left in the midfield, he turned to chase the ball, and suddenly found that Nedved was quickly on par with him, and took two steps in front of him to touch the ball first!

In an instant, Millwall switched from defense to attack!

The rate at which offense and defense can be switched between attack and defense can be described as a blink of an eye.

Makelele will not rush up and try to break through in front of him is certainly not a wise thing to do.

At this point, Makelle must have stepped up and blocked the area where Nedved was heading, but Nedved quickly passed the ball to Larsson, who ran out of the space to pick up.

Larsson, who won the ball on the right in front of the penalty area, did not stop the ball, kicked the ball and crossed it to Kaka, who was heading for the penalty area.

At the same time as Kaka touched the ball, Henry cut inside from the left and headed into the middle of the box, Hierro followed closely behind Henry, and Henry's diagonal run in front of Kaka helped Kaka create a corridor that broke through the long drive.

Almost as soon as Henry ran diagonally to take Hierro, Kaka broke through with determination from behind Henry.

Hierro didn't look back, knowing that Kaka had slotted into the box from behind him and Salgado had returned from the wing, a beat that was noticeably slower.

Hierro turned around to block Kaka and block his shot, but he was about to rush that way when the ball rolled behind him.

When Hierro turned to look for Kaka, he was shocked to find that the ball was gone, and then turned back to see Henry with a kick to meet the ball, and at the moment when he finished shooting, Elgra slid in front of Henry, Cesar flew to save, his fingertips were half a meter away from the ball, and he could only close his eyes in despair, and the ball rolled in from the bottom left corner of the goal!

'Millwall scored again, and it was Thierry Henry! We saw Kaka who pointed to him for an assist as soon as he scored, Millwall played really well at home today, Real Madrid had no power to parry, triangle passing, cross running, this is Millwall's excellent performance in this attack, simple and smooth, a lethal blow, on the other hand, Real Madrid's offensive routine is cumbersome and inefficient, they can only start from the side to threaten the opponent. ”

Bosque saw his team concede the second goal of the game and he knew that a comeback was impossible!

The old man lowered his head, and suddenly said weakly to his assistant: "Millwall's set of techniques and tactics is really incomprehensible!" ”

His assistant was also frustrated, saying: "It seems like this, pure defensive midfield, they have it, we have it, but they also have a Pirlo, a playmaker back, not only the organization area is far from the danger zone, but also the effect of compressing the offensive space when defending, to disrupt Millwall's style of play, we must have at least two B2B all-round midfielders like Nedved in the midfield, every time Millwall switches from defense to attack, I always feel that there is one more person than us, that is Nedved, the defense has him, and the attack has him, And he didn't go into the box today, he stayed in the front midfield after passing the ball just now, once the wind is not right, he will definitely turn around and go back to defend, we have a poor rhythm with Millwall, and we are not opponents at all. ”

Bosque sighed.

The outside world says that this is the battle of the century, and perhaps, only the players on paper are famous.

What are the advantages of Real Madrid in real competition?

Overall speed? Team chemistry? Organizational efficiency? Running?

In Bosque's eyes, Aldridge may be a merciless subordinate.

If Aldridge had been willing, Millwall would not have had to play to their strengths at all, focusing on the overall defence, coupled with diligent movement and speed, and Real Madrid would have died. (To be continued......)
