The 304 is seamless
Today, Millwall abandoned the "Whirlwind Kombat" characteristic they excelled at and focused on solid defense, and Aldridge thought about it during the preparation period, but finally gave up the idea of anti-opponent.
The reason is very simple, at Wembley, Millwall played their own style, but there were not many absolute chances created, one of the two goals was a surprise victory, and the other was a supplementary shot with a chance factor, and the frontal attack went all the way to the end to deter the offensive cooperation of the opponent's goal, and did not play much.
If you come to the away stadium and still play like this, Juventus may laugh at the gift, on the basis of playing better and more physical, they play Millwall counterattack with a higher success rate, originally, in Italy, almost all teams will play counterattack, because chain defense is the mainstream, everyone defends, and then quickly fights the opponent counterattack from defense to attack.
Another factor is that the two teams have played each other once, and they have a good understanding of the technical and tactical characteristics of the other party, and they can make stronger restrictions in the second leg.
Based on these factors, Aldridge decided to focus on counter-attacking on the basis of solid defense, but in the first half, Juventus' defense was really leaky, and Millwall's counter-attacking threat was rare.
At half-time, Aldridge was not needed to boost morale as everyone knew there were 45 minutes left and as long as they didn't let their opponents score, they would be in the semi-finals.
This season, with every step of the Champions Cup, they have made history as a club, but they are not satisfied with the history of the last eight, the last four.
They have what it takes to challenge for the highest honors! Coronation of the King!
Back on the pitch in the second half, Aldridge was still standing on the sidelines. He made a point of observing Lippi's expression. Try to find clues from the other person's face to reflect the other person's state of mind.
Silver fox. Is there a hurry?
Aldrich was disappointed, and Lippi walked out to sit down, his steps were steady and relaxed, and he swallowed the clouds with his cigar between his fingers and swallowed the clouds with his mist.
For some reason, Aldrich felt a chill in his heart.
Even Ferguson, in an unfavorable situation, Aldridge can get the other party's red nose from the other. The dignified expression showed a hint of clues, and then speculated about the opponent's next technical and tactical changes, and had an intuitive grasp of the situation on the field, not to mention Wenger, the body language when he was anxious on the sidelines was obvious, but Lippi didn't even frown today, which made Aldridge not only sigh that the opponent was unfathomable, but also felt a chill in his heart.
Because the other party obviously relied on it, but Aldrich couldn't guess the other party's true intentions.
Is there a surprise soldier?
Juventus sent the strongest team, and no one who went up could achieve a better effect than this group of players.
That can only be tactical.
Tactics can be varied. It has become so powerful that it is infinitely powerful, and if it is a faint move. That is the self-destruction of the Great Wall.
If it is a life-fighting style, Lippi is estimated that he will not be so relaxed and calm as he is now, and if he fights for his life, it is very likely that he will injure the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800.
At the start of the second half, Aldridge watched Juventus' players' movements and passing routes, which were the most crucial aspects of the attack.
But in general, there was not much difference from the first half.
After all, the players have a large range of running, the pace of the game is fast, and without a static contrast, it is difficult to notice the subtle changes.
Inzaghi received the ball at the front of the line, did not pass, forced to turn around and hit the goal, the ball was blocked by Southgate, Makelele grabbed the landing point and passed the ball to Pirlo, who directly divided the side, Shevchenko took the ball and turned and moved laterally, and the straight point also ran to the feet of Trezeguet who pulled the side on the same side, Trezeguet was pressed by Ferrara, and also forced to knock back outside the penalty area before dribbling to the bottom line, Nedved got the ball under the pressure of Conte, and then knocked it horizontally to Shevchenko, Shevchenko took a step, but was tackled by Pexoto with precision.
Pexoto took a step forward after a successful steal, and Aldridge saw his move and thought that the Juventus full-back was going to start to step up and assist.
However, he guessed wrong, and Pexoto simply brought out the pass and then handed the ball to Didier Deschamps, who then distributed the ball to Davies, who was rushing forward.
Davis dribbled across the half-court and Larsson rushed over to press him.
Juventus still does not have an advantage in the proportion of attacking and defending people, Millwall has six people in the backfield, four defenders and two backs, Juventus only has five people counting Davies, the front midfielder plus two forwards, and Deschamps who rushes forward.
How will this offense be played?
Aldridge stared at the opponent's forward player running with a solemn gaze, according to the habit of the first half, it should be to hand the ball to Zidane, and then get rid of the space created laterally and pass directly or to the midfielder who follows up behind him to continue to move forward.
However, when Aldridge saw Zidane's movement, he was shocked.
Zinedine Zidane suddenly ran to the left winger's area of activity in the forward position, and his running position confused Pirlo and Makelele, Pirlo chased two steps and suddenly hesitated, for fear of losing his defensive position at the back, and Makelele retreated deeper to protect the space behind him.
At the same time, someone ran to Zidane's original position, and Aldridge felt his scalp tingle when he saw that person.
How did you forget such an important thing!
He's not just a striker!
Piero and Zidane completed a reverse run in the front two areas, one left and one right, Zidane was in front of the left, Piero ran back from the front right, the two started almost at the same time, and ran to the destination at the same time, and then in the process of 4 seconds, the Millwall defenders were flawed.
Davies's pass came as scheduled, the passing route did not change, it was still to the front midfield, but the person who received the ball was already Piero, the Bianconeri Prince did not stop the ball and then stuffed it straight to Zidane in front of the left, the defensive line between Pirlo and Makelele hesitated because of Zidane's running, and it was caught by Juventus for a moment!
Zidane received the ball near the line of the big penalty area, and Schneider, who was eager to save him, chose to destroy the ball at the opponent's feet outside the penalty area, Zidane stepped on the ball and pulled it elegantly, Schneider was passed and shouted in his heart: forget!
Defend Zinedine Zidane. Never stare at the ball. It was a puppet that belonged to him. It will confuse your mind and make you be played by the other person.
Zidane dribbled one step forward with grace and calmness, and Elgra had to defend Zidane, who pressed his center of gravity down and was ready to rely on his body to squeeze the opponent.
But as soon as he moved, Zidane picked the ball up with his feet, and a half-high ball less than a meter above the ground was passed behind Elgra, who raised his leg to block it. As a result, he hated so much that his toes were less than twenty centimeters short of the ball, and he watched the ball fly to his side.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could already see a black and white figure rushing towards the ball, which made all the defenders feel like they were on their backs.
Shade Killer!
When Elgra went to defend Zinedine Zidane, Southgate moved laterally to fill in and Claude Makelele shrank back to guard Piero's advance.
However, Zidane's pass was brilliant and his movement was seamless.
When Inzaghi lifted his foot to meet the ball sideways, Southgate did almost the same as Torricelli in the first leg, using his body to block the shot.
But. It's late!
Inzaghi's shot was impeccable, and the emphasis was on one word: ruthless!
The ball went from touching his feet to flying into the goal. In the blink of an eye, even though Bout blocked the near corner, he still couldn't react, and the ball flew from his upper right into the corner of the goal!
Before Southgate's tackle was over, he turned his head to watch the ball slip out of the net and slow down before rolling out
"Inzaghi, Inzaghi, Inzaghi, Inzaghi, Inzaghi! Inzaghi's goal helped Juventus lead Millwall 1:0, with an aggregate score of 2:2, and Juventus relied on the away goal advantage to seize the initiative in promotion! The game took a turn in the 55th minute, from Millwall's guarantee that they would eliminate their opponents without conceding a goal, to Juventus as long as they did not concede a goal in the next 35 minutes, then Juventus would advance to the semi-finals! This attack is so wonderful, Zidane's movement and passing on the spot are top performances, and his assist for Inzaghi is also a stroke of genius, a light pick-up, Inzaghi half-turns and volleys, this is a wonderful combination between top players! ”
Inzaghi rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly after scoring a goal, and Juventus' team-mates all rushed over.
Millwall's players were hit by a bolt from the blue.
They are no strangers to this goal.
Because this is what they often type!
The forward and the forward run in the opposite position, so that the opponent's back line and the back line of the defense appear to panic for a short time, and the opportunity is in that fleeting moment, the strong can grasp it, and then give a fatal blow.
Millwall can also play such a combination, they rely on such exquisite coordination to break through the opponent's fortress when breaking the dense defense, but they have almost never encountered such an offensive routine of the opponent, even in training, the ability of the substitute players is not up to the level of Juventus players, so when Juventus in a short 10 seconds, from Davies to the goal, the rate of adjustment of the Millwall defense line did not keep up with the opponent!
Aldridge is still with his hands in his pockets on the sidelines, Juventus's goal cannot be said to be accidental, this is definitely tactically carefully designed, but it is impossible to make every such attack, that is, at a specific time, the goal evolved through the tacit understanding between the attacking players to reach the apex, just like Millwall's first goal in the first leg.
In front of the Juventus bench, the players and coaches were excited, and Lippi looked much more reserved, just smiling and continuing to smoke his cigar.
Aldridge pulled his hands out of his pockets and bent down to applaud the pitch to cheer the players up.
This is not the end of the world!
After conceding the goal, when some of the players were in a daze and looked heavy, Nedved quickly ran into the goalkeeper to hold the ball, then turned and ran towards the front, he didn't say a word, but he inspired the whole team with his actions, and Southgate also got up and encouraged his team-mates.
With half an hour to go, Millwall only needed to score to regain the initiative.
Aldridge is now in a relieved mood.
At 2:1, as long as you don't concede a goal, then the team can advance.
2:2, Millwall needs to score, if you can't score, you will be eliminated, even if you play unrestrainedly and be scored by the opponent, Millwall's promotion premise remains the same, you must score!
If one more is beaten by Juventus, Millwall only needs to pull one back, then it can drag the game into extra time, although there is no home advantage, but at least it will not be out in 90 minutes!
Thinking about it this way, I am not so afraid of conceding the ball!
If the journey of the Lions to the European Champions Cup stage for the first time is to fall to the top 8, then the last 35 minutes will be regarded as a decisive battle! (To be continued......)
