Schneider suddenly stood up and said with a determined face: "Boss, we will definitely win the game today!" ”

"That's right! We're also holding our breath! ”

"Let Barcelona know who is strong!"

"Didn't Louis van Gaal just win the Champions League? What's the big deal! Crazy ball! ”

"Down with Barcelona! We beat them half a year ago, and we want to defeat them today! ”

"yes, down on Barcelona!"

Aldrich didn't say a word, but the atmosphere in the dressing room became emotional.

It took three minutes for the players to shout slogans and show their determination before they suddenly closed their mouths, because Aldridge stood there calmly, letting them shout for a long time, unmoved.

"Boss, you're fine, are you?"

Southgate asked worriedly, thinking that Aldridge would not be able to recover from the blow.

Aldrich closed his eyes and lowered his head and chuckled, then sighed and said, "I am very satisfied that you have such a strong fighting spirit. However, I don't think it's a good sign for you to be in this state. ”

The players looked at each other in confusion.

Is it wrong to be scrappy?

Aldridge said softly: "Sit down first, I don't think the more angry or driven the team on the football pitch will win the game, Barcelona despise us, I think it's a normal thing. When the top wealthy families in all European countries meet us, they will despise us and look down on us, but some people hide this contempt in their hearts, and some people say it openly. I first heard Van Gaal's remarks. I'm also angry. But calm down and think about it, even if this is the opponent's psychological warfare, I think it's a good thing, you have to remember one sentence, on the stage of the European Champions Cup, the more invincible the team, most of them will fall badly. Why have Italian teams been able to reach the Champions League final all these years? Because they are low-key and pragmatic, the outside world criticizes them for being conservative in tactics. But there is no doubt about the excellent results achieved by the Italian team. ”

The players have calmed down, they are not brainless people, and at first glance, they really believe that Van Gaal is playing psychological warfare.

"I almost fell for it, yes, we're the top team now, Barcelona is going to be ruined, we're in a hurry."

Southgate said as he rubbed his head, and the other players nodded apprehantly.

Mentality is an important factor in the team's performance, and they feel that they will be able to fight Barcelona as they did just now. Maybe you will be beaten into a sieve by your opponent, in all fairness. In the final half a year ago, the two teams actually won the hard, and the score was 4:1 at the end of the match, but this is related to Barcelona's most difficult back to press the back full of holes.

Aldridge saw the players showing a look of reflection, and smiled with relief: "Now is not the time to blame and think, this is also an experience, it is worth digesting slowly after the game, the mentality of the strong will not be disturbed by the outside world, especially will not be interfered by the opponent, the more interference from the opponent, the more the opponent can not let the opponent succeed." Everyone knows very well how to play today's game, and I just want to ask you one thing now, do you have the confidence to win? ”

"Absolutely!"

The whole Millwall team shouted in unison.

Aldrich turned and walked out of the locker room.

This is not the first time Aldridge has come to Camp Nou, many years ago, he came here to watch the game, and the shocking scene of the fans chanting for Barcelona is still hard to forget.

However, when he appeared on the sidelines, the fans in the nearby stands booed him.

When the live announcer said his name, the Camp Nou booed even more.

He's not welcome here, it's normal.

If Millwall had lost to Barcelona six months ago, the Lions fans would have been just as unwelcoming as Barcelona when they visited London.

Although this mentality is not positive, from the perspective of neutral fans, the side that lost before should welcome the arrival of the winner, so that they can have the opportunity to play again and beat the opponent in the open.

Aldridge did not go to shake hands with Barcelona coach Van Gaal, the other party sat in the coach's box, Robson was fired in the summer, but Mourinho stayed, but now Mourinho's status in the team has plummeted, and a super control freak like Van Gaal will not give the power of the team to others, especially Mourinho, whose title is "translation".

Millwall's young marshal stood on the sidelines, the weather was getting colder, and he was dressed in a black Armani coat, stylish and cold.

"The highlight of the third round of Group C of the UEFA Champions League is about to take place at Camp Nou, with Barcelona at home taking on England's Millwall, who are in a precarious position to qualify, and after two rounds they have only picked up one point, but their fate is still in their own hands, as long as they beat Millwall over two legs, their prospects of qualification remain positive."

Aldridge looked at the starters on both sides, and as for what the formation was, he would have a general idea when he looked at the game after it started.

Millwall played 4231 today, in addition to Trezeguet's absence due to injury, the lineup is still relatively neat, Ruud van Nistelrooy replaced Trezeguet as the starting arrow, Larsson, Nedved, Shevchenko three behind the striker, the double back is Makelele and Ballack, Schneider, Elguera, Southgate, Zambrotta This defense line has also played a lot of games this season, goalkeeper Bout has had ups and downs in the first few Premier League games, but the last two games have been quickly adjusted, which can be a little reassuring.

Barcelona's starting lineup looks like a 451, but it can change to 442, 424, or 433 at any time.

Goalkeeper: Baia.

Defenders: Reziger, Couto, Abelardo, Sergi.

Midfielders: Pep Guardiola, Giovanni, Rivaldo, Figo, Enrique.

Forward: Anderson.

Aldridge didn't say a word, in reality, Van Gaal, who looked at each other for the first time today, has already had a bad relationship, but it is undeniable that the other party is a famous coach. He is also the number one figure in the history of Dutch football.

Barcelona is also a great club. The war with Millwall was the most normal thing to happen between clubs.

In the eyes of celebrities. It will not be more serious about what the starting formation is, and it will not start to use its brains to decipher it because of what kind of starting formation the opponent has put up.

Italy's coach can put on a seemingly balanced and aggressive formation such as 442 and 433, but in fact, in the game, the four defenders can put more than 70% of their energy into defense, who can say that such a 442 is balanced?

The same was true for Barcelona today, with the key being the change in the players' positions during the game.

Rivaldo was clearly the focus, his movement dictated the change of formation, and he moved forward. The formation can be 442, or 4231, or 4141, etc.

It would be an irreparable mistake to ignore Rivaldo because he started behind the two wingers and the striker.

The other party is an invisible killer!

In the next five years of the two World Cup, the number one person in the Brazilian team shines is Ronaldo, but the goal of both major tournaments is only one less than Ronaldo's goal, named Rivaldo, and the goals are as precious as gold.

At the start of the game, the visiting Millwall kicked off first, after Ruud van Nistelrooy's kick-off. Larsson passed the ball back and then the formation didn't press forward. Millwall played a simple long pass on one side, Shevchenko tried to break through after winning the ball on the side and was defused by Sergi, and Barcelona counterattacked!

Pep Guardiola, Giovanni, Figo, after three passes, the ball went to Rivaldo at Figo's feet.

Aldridge watched from the sidelines, not surprisingly.

Rivaldo fell to the ground after receiving the ball and broke forward to see that it had already passed Claude Makelele, but the Frenchman turned around and tackled the ball with his toes after being wiped out, and Rivaldo fell to the ground.

The Barcelona player asked the referee for a foul, but the referee ignored him.

Makelle is so reassuring!

Even if he fails to intercept head-on, he will not be easily broken through, and even if he is broken, he will quickly return to fill the position, and his contribution to defense is simply irreplaceable.

Millwall switched from defending to attacking, Zambrotta directly handed the ball to Larsson, who ran out of space in front, Larsson took the ball and resisted Guardiola with his body, and then used the feint of passing to confuse the opponent, and then went it alone, broke through the opponent and then forward, but was destroyed by Reziger.

After the opening, the two sides played a relatively close game and the tempo was fast.

Pep Guardiola is still the pivot of the transition between attack and defence, but he has too much to focus on defence, so his attacking talent is not unleashed.

Pele paid out of his own pocket to land a Brazilian in Europe, and that player was Giovanni, who was moved from forward to midfield, and Louis van Gaal must have valued his passing skills.

Coupled with Rivaldo, who is free to move up front, Figo and Enrique, who can play on the wings, Barcelona's attacking system is very threatening, and this period is known as the "spiral system".

Ideals are always good, Van Gaal just wants Barcelona to play the best offensive football, the offensive system when spiraling, tearing through the opponent's defense layer by layer, and it should be three-dimensional and comprehensive pressing.

However, this is also a matter of being executed by world-class players, who today ran into Millwall, who were quite tough in defensive intensity, and they obviously couldn't control the scene in the front and back of the Millwall midfield.

Figo tried to break through Schneider, who kicked the ball off the touchline.

Half a year later, Schneider is more mature in the position of right wing-back, faintly able to keep up with the rhythm of Figo, unable to break the ball, as long as the destruction can also achieve the purpose of containing the opponent's attack and slowing down the opponent's tempo.

Rivaldo played with his teammates in midfield, and the moment Enrique passed the ball back to his feet, Makelele hit it and reached out to block the ball, and the two won in the wrestling, and the ball changed control again.

Barcelona quickly realized: the opponent is still the same lions from half a year ago!

They do not have an absolute advantage in one-on-one, and when the number of attackers in the front court is inferior to the number of opponents' defenders, it is difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense in a small area.

Millwall, on the other hand, does not press forward, and it is also up to individual ability to counterattack.

Neither team has a superstar who can single-handedly take on the entire defensive line, and even Ronaldo six months ago had no bright spot in that game except for one goal.

It's not a good game, but Aldridge thinks it's more important for the team!

It will test their patience, overall vision, mentality, will, and other qualities.

Far more empirical than unrestrained onslaught.

The game lasted ten minutes without a single shot on goal, with both teams focused on battling control of the midfield.

Aldridge glanced at the Barcelona dugout, intentionally or unintentionally, and Van Gaal, who was watching the game with a blank face, still seemed confident.

Van Gaal, make a killing move.

Barcelona isn't shining at all! (To be continued......)
