Liverpool had a ferocious momentum in the previous period, just after the 4-2 defeat at Anfield by Millwall, and they won back-to-back games, with assistant coach Phil Thompson replacing Houllier to take command of the team on an interim basis.

However, in the eyes of ball critics, this wave of excellent results is not particularly worthy of attention.

Because Liverpool's own skills and tactics have not made breakthroughs, the reason for the successive victories is very simple: momentum!

The manager went to the hospital, and the strong cohesion of the team was working, and they put together a few wins to show the manager.

This momentum ended in the battle of the Christmas Express, first fought too fiercely, and the physical strength of the continuous battle could not keep up, and then the first loss, this sharp spirit dissipated, 4:o was bloodied by Chelsea, 1:2 at home to Arsenal, until the last round in the difficult away victory over Aston Villa.

If you want to say who the unlucky team is, it is Manchester United, but it was after Houllier just entered the hospital that he encountered Liverpool, Liverpool went crazy to play the English derby, and Manchester United was poured three goals.

Liverpool, who were touted before the season as being able to challenge the order of the British king, finished halfway through, sorry, Liverpool's name is not visible in the top four for the time being, and they are in fifth.

Phil Thompson's coaching ability is not worth mentioning, but after he took over the team, he first killed Manchester United, and then won consecutive victories, which had a huge impact on him personally, and he may have changed his mentality, from the role of assistant coach to the belief that he has the potential to be a manager, and he is the talent of a good manager!

As a result, Liverpool's technical and tactical style of play has become very aggressive, which is also summed up by Thompson's lackluster experience. That's how we win against Manchester United!

This man was very low-key before the game. A compliment to Aldrich. Don't talk about how the game is played.

But it is estimated that he had an impassioned speech in the dressing room before the game to mobilize Liverpool's fighting spirit.

Because from the very beginning of the game, Aldridge saw Liverpool pounce very hard, which is very reminiscent of Liverpool's nickname: the Reds.

Fight like valiant warriors one by one.

However, the army belongs to the army, and there is nothing to praise for an army that cannot win the battle.

Aldridge is still serious about the game, as he still used a defensive strategy from the back to the front. In the high press, Millwall quickly paid off.

Gattuso intercepted successfully in the midfield, cut off Gerrard's pass to Smitchell, and then passed directly to Xiao Luo on the left, Xiao Luo single-handedly took the ball to the bottom, Carragher was most afraid of meeting two people in the UK, one is Giggs, the other is Xiao Luo, when he meets these two people, his waist is about to break. And he plays full-back, and the rest of the games are fine. It's just that when you meet these two people, you have become a weakness to attract condemnation.

This time it was the same, Carragher directly closed in the penalty area, afraid of being broken by Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo crossed without being harassed, how to describe this cross? Well, it's a thief!

Behind the cross-back, the center-back turned to clear the ball slowly, and he would be afraid of his own accident, fast, low flat ball, bounced in the penalty area and passed by the middle of the central defender At that time, Henry stretched out a cushion to shoot, and the ball flew into the goal from Dudek's hand.

"Nine minutes into the game, Millwall took the lead! This chance came from a steal in the midfield of Gattuso, it seems that Hall has made Gattuso's position premise surprisingly good, Ronaldinho provided an assist, Henry's annual goal tally has been refreshed again, let's see if Henry can score a few more goals in today's game"

Aldridge turned to Jenson after seeing the goal and said: "This formation doesn't seem to be as bad as we thought." ”

"There are definitely limitations, but it doesn't mean that a team with a little bit of strength can catch our defensive flaws. Let's take a look at it again, anyway, I always think that this set of defensive tactics can only break the dense defense, that is, play a particularly conservative team, and must not let the players think that playing like this is foolproof, otherwise, if they encounter Manchester United, Arsenal, or other strong teams in Europe, they will definitely suffer a big loss. ”

Jensen said with a serious expression.

Aldrich thought for a moment and nodded, deciding that it would be better to take another look.

Maybe it's really that the bruise is not as big as he thought?

But just 1o minutes later, Aldrich smiled bitterly.

'Liverpool equalised, the scorer was Owen! Owen dribbled away Gareth Southgate after receiving a header from Heskey, and then single-handedly faced Bout, who had abandoned the goal, and he very calmly pushed the ball into the goal, good ball! Millwall's defense this time is very fragile, too easy to penetrate, right? ”

The whole Liverpool team was thrilled with the goal.

Millwall's players turned to look at Aldridge.

This ball is actually quite simple.

Gerrard made a long pass to Hesky in the backfield, Hesky's header was made to Owen, Owen's running position and degree characteristics were swung out, and a large space was used to let him rush, Southgate couldn't outrun a top striker after all, and was singled by Owen.

Is it true that Liverpool have found a secret to restraining Millwall?

Not necessarily.

Gerrard had no choice, he was blocked from the ball in front of him, left and right, and he couldn't find the ball point in a short distance, and Gattuso forced him to grab it like a wolf, so he could only make a long pass to Husky in front.

Pirlo was slow to chase back, Materazzi came up and was stuck by Husky first, Heskey was a header back, behind him, except for Materazzi there were three people, Owen, Southgate, and Bout.

The space for the attacking side is unimaginable, Owen rushes up, and there is space, and the full-backs have no chance to make up for the defense.

This is where the high pressing and the back midfield are hard to lose.

If the opponent does not play short balls on the ground, but uses the traditional English long balls to charge, Millwall's backline has a very low margin for error.

But this is not low for the opponent.

At least Gerrard's long pass just now was more accurate, Husky's physical confrontation ability carried Materazzi, and he could also make the ball, plus an Owen who captured the fighter's ability group.

That's why Jenson said that Millwall's defensive tactics are better to play a particularly conservative weak team, and it is too unsafe to play a strong team.

For example, West Ham United will also take the approach of big feet at the back because the midfield is pressed to the ground and can't go up at all, but their big feet are really big feet to clear the siege, instead of looking for teammates with long passes.

Millwall's players looked at Aldridge, waiting for instructions.

In yesterday's pre-match preparation meeting, Aldridge made it clear that the same tactical system as West Ham United will be used today, but if something goes wrong, the team will have to switch back to the old defensive routine, that is, Gattuso will go back.

Changed other managers to tell the team like this, it is estimated that the players will make a revolution, play Liverpool, such an important game, you will test the tactics?

But Aldridge told the group of players that there was no problem at all, and the players were happy to accept it.

The players took it as a professional pleasure and wanted to knock Aldridge in the head to see what was inside.

Abolition of classical wingers, modern wingers, front midfielders, forward midfielders, high pressing, counter-robbery and counter-attack, Aldridge's innovation at the tactical level over the years has reached a point-in-point.

It's not that no other coach would do this, and there is probably only one manager in Europe like Aldridge who has made a huge difference with every tactical change in the team.

Aldridge stood up from the dugout, walked to the sideline and gestured to the players.

The player looked at it and understood.

Follow what you said before the game, and then cut back.

Gattuso escorted Pirlo.

After the game restarted, the commentator chatted with great interest about the position of the Millwall players on the pitch and the changes in the area of responsibility.

'Millwall was self-denying, Gattuso was toppled in front of midfield after the opening kick-off, and now he's back in a midfield position, with Andrea Pirlo moving in front of him and the two maintaining a close link.

"It seems that as Hall said after the last game, his defensive tactics have certain limitations, Liverpool just long pass directly to the front, Millwall fell into defensive passivity, although the number is superior, but Pirlo's defensive ability is really flattering, in fact, it is a 2vs2 offensive and defensive collision, Liverpool occupies the advantage of attacking space, Owen gets a single knife, it is not surprising."

Liverpool had just scored a goal through a long pass from Guò, and then they repeated the same trick, frequently using Guò long passes from the midfield to find Heskey in front.

But after Gattuso returned to the midfield position, Liverpool played like this and did not play again.

Of course, it can't be Gattuso going to grab a header with Husky, how tall is Husky, and how tall is Gattuso? With the opportunity of 55 openings, there was no suspense about Gattuso's defeat.

Gattuso has his own prediction in the face of the opponent's long pass, he can grab the point, he goes to grab the point, and the guò position advantage is used to fight to separate Husky, which is more than strength rather than bounce, he does not fall behind.

If he predicts that he can't grab the landing point, and Heskey takes the lead, then Gattuso will retreat in the direction of the penalty area, Materazzi will definitely go up to defend Hesky, whether Hesky stops the ball and turns or heads the ball directly, Owen wants to get the ball is not so easy, not only Gattuso retreats follow with him, but also Southgate adds an insurance, Millwall's defensive margin for error will not be as low as before, and it will not be penetrated by Owen as soon as he takes the ball and breaks through.

However, Liverpool equalized, and the momentum came up, Smitchell's long-range shot was blocked by Bute, and Tongguò had a corner kick to attack, and Liverpool made a second attack, and Gerrard rewrote the score with a long-range shot from outside the box.

“1:2！ Oh my God, Liverpool reversed the score! That's right, right? Millwall actually conceded two goals in a row, and the score was reversed? If the game is over here, there is no telling how many records Millwall will end! ”

The fans in the stands at the Lion King Stadium were stunned.

Lag? Being reversed is a new thing! (To be continued!)
