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

Aldridge's issue in today's training session was of great interest to all the players.

How exactly do you use the rules to make a profit?

Aldridge walked up to Henry and said: "The best way to make use of the rules is to remind the referee and tell the referee: Although I am in an offside position, I am not involved in this attack!" I'm passively offside, your flag, don't raise it! ”

Henry touched his bald head, still a little incomprehensible, and spread his hands and said, "What's the use of this?" ”

"Hah, what's the use? Come, what is the use of me telling you. ”

Aldridge began to count troops on the training ground.

The regular back four was called out, told to compress the distance on the training pitch and position defensively, and then three more players were called in.

Ronaldo, Henry, Larson.

Aldridge let Ronaldo dribble in front of the back line, and then Henry ran and was offside!

None of the back four understood what was going on.

They were keeping an eye on Ronaldo, alerting him to the timing of his ball, while guarding Thierry Henry and Larsson.

When Henry was offside, Ronaldo's pass was deep into the ribs on the right side of the defense.

The defenders confirmed that Henry was offside and relaxed and raised their hands to remind Aldridge that the goal was over.

However, their eyes widened in disbelief and they saw Henry running to the left.

Henry was in an offside position, running in the opposite direction to the direction in which the ball was rolling, and the distance gradually widened. There's no way he's going to get the ball!

And right now. Larsson, who was ambushed and rushed forward, received the ball in front of the baseline. He got the ball and pulled out the deep space, at this time, he got the ball and ran to the other side of Henry was not offside again!

Larsson crosses the ball to Henry, who stops it at his feet.

He touched his bald head again, and somewhat understood what Aldrich meant by using the rules and reminding the referee!

A simple training tactical drill that amazed the whole team.

Aldrich told them in the simplest way possible how they could take advantage of the rule change.

The focus is on the confusion caused by the offside player himself to the opponent and disrupt the opponent's marking plan. And remind the referee that he is not "involved" in this attack.

There is no clear penalty for not touching the ball and not being offside, so instead of standing still and making himself a visible target on the ball's rolling path, the offside player should first dissociate himself from the pass.

Running away on his own, getting farther and farther away from the ball, the linesman will hesitate when he sees it, reducing his determination to punish the player for being "involved" in the attack.

Secondly, the appearance of the rear insertion player is also a reminder to the linesman. The pass-and-run combination of this attack is actually two other players. And not offside!

In the process, the opponent's defensive layout will be completely disrupted.

If you want to use the rules to make a profit, and it is not a simple and crude way, it must require much more from the player's ability.

Previously, offense was a pass, so to speak, an interaction between two players.

One passes, one runs.

Now, one more person is needed.

Not every pass and run can be played, for Millwall, there are many players with excellent running awareness, so, their offense, the vast majority of players run first, pass slowly, or simply do not pass, it is rare to see the passing players find the empty pass, and the striker has no running awareness, which is determined by the team's tactical system, the characteristics of strong penetration, the striker's first task is to capture the vacancy, and use the vacancy.

Aldridge's so-called exploitation is to take advantage of the situation where more forwards ran first and teammates passed behind.

In the case of running first, most of the time the striker is offside, and the passer either realizes that the striker is offside, and the pass is futile, or the real pass is that the striker is blown offside.

Now, even if the striker is offside, it doesn't matter!

But the striker has to be clear-headed, offside is offside, but he can cover his teammates, and even if the passer passes the ball, he immediately runs away, in other words, he participates in the next attack that can be predicted, and this attack is left for the other teammates who cut in behind.

Encouraging offense to make the game flow is nothing more than that the game is not always interrupted by the referee, and the linesman will continue as long as he does not raise the flag.

It can be said that such a passing run has become a cooperation between at least three players.

Passer, back plugged in hidden receiver, player in an offside position.

What about other teams, Aldridge doesn't know.

But at Millwall, taking advantage of this rule will help them a lot in attack.

Because they're playing wide now!

Bilateral front, double change front.

There will be more impact points for hidden in-cut runs.

Of course, the game reading ability of this pair of passers is also very high.

First, be aware that the target of the first pass is offside.

Second, use an offside teammate as a cover and infiltrate the ball to a teammate who is hidden and plugged in.

Alonso, Ronaldo and Nedved are the passers in the squad who need to be more aware of this right now.

After all the players in Millwall understood Aldrich's idea, Little Luo suddenly sighed: "Boss, why are you so cunning? ”

Hahahaha

The whole team laughed.

Aldrich was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly

Halfway through the season, Millwall's phased results have been shown, the team is more stable and strong than at the beginning of the season, Alonso has also begun to flourish in the role of playmaker in the midfield, and Millwall, a combination of old and new, the third generation of wild lions, gradually opened their bloody mouths, and their sharp fangs are intent on devouring Europa again.

Since the start of the second half of the league, the pattern of the Premier League title has become clearer and clearer.

"The champion will be back in London from Manchester!"

In February, The Times ran such a headline.

There is no doubt that the winner will be between Arsenal and Millwall.

Both teams have shown a strikingly similar quality this season.

At the end of February, Millwall failed in FA Cup training and the young players did not surprise Aldridge in the cup. But in the league. Millwall go hand in hand with Arsenal. It's just that the two teams that don't lose either win or draw, and the gap has been oscillating between 3 points, 4 points, and 5 points.

On February 21, the 26th round of the Premier League was completed. After seven rounds, Millwall only cut Arsenal's two-point gap to Arsenal.

In these 7 rounds of the league, Millwall has one more win than Arsenal, and Arsenal has drawn one more game, still 3 points ahead of Millwall!

But the two teams threw away the double-digit gap between the teams behind them.

Chelsea's first half of the season was mediocre, as the Daily Telegraph quipped: three months passed when Eriksen figured out what the Premier League style was and adapted to the English air.

In addition to the impact of Rio Ferdinand's suspension, Manchester United also have their offensive firepower, which has declined significantly in the past two seasons.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was indeed last season's Premier League Golden Boot winner, but United's attacking firepower last season was the lowest in the past few seasons. This season has slipped even further, relying on Ruud van Nistelrooy alone. There is simply no way to support the attacking firepower that a big club needs, and last season Manchester United won the title, the decisive factor, probably the defence, they conceded fewer goals than other rivals, and this season, especially in the second half, after the absence of Rio Ferdinand, it is almost predictable that this is a season of disappointment for Manchester United.

At the end of February, Aldridge led the team to Munich.

In the mouths of many fans, Millwall and Bayern Munich have formed a blood feud!

This season, Millwall drew Bayern Munich again in the 1/8 finals, which surprised everyone, but in the final analysis, Bayern Munich is to blame for its own group stage incompetence, if it can win the top spot in the group, it will naturally not draw Millwall.

Heathfield have been much more low-key this season.

Last season, Bayern Munich was the strongest Bayern Munich in history, and as a result, the Champions League group stage was the same as Millwall.

The Millwall hierarchy still has a good relationship with Bayern Munich, but they always meet in the arena.

In a certain way, it also shows that the strength of the two teams is among the top in European football, otherwise, how many strong teams and a weak team can meet in the knockout rounds of the Champions League with high frequency?

This season's Champions League has been reformed, canceling the second stage of the group stage, and the 16 teams that have qualified from the group stage will go head-to-head.

When it comes to the knockout round of the Champions League, Aldridge will definitely not attack one by one, and the first leg of the away game will be cautious and win.

Having played against Heathfield for many years, Aldridge is very familiar with him, Bayern Munich is still playing as a team of German tanks, and Millwall is not far behind in this regard.

In the Champions League focus battle in Munich, the game went to the 70th minute, and the score was still 0:0.

Millwall defended cautiously and did not overly engage in attack, and Bayern Munich did not dare to go on a rampage, and this delicate stalemate and balance has been maintained until now.

Aldridge was patient, and Heathfield was a little unable to sit still.

Although Millwall trailed Arsenal in the Premier League, Millwall surpassed Arsenal by more than 10 goals.

Why?

As soon as they scored the first goal of the game, the extremely defensive opponents had to go into attack if they wanted to equalise, and the dense defense was no longer there, and Millwall's wing storm was often able to score bloody big scores.

Among them, they slaughtered Wolves 9:0, bloodied Leicester City 7:0, and defeated Blackburn Rovers 6:0, all of which are their brilliant results in the past two months.

If you don't win Millwall at home, if you go away, can you steal one and defend it?

Heathfield wasn't optimistic about the prospect and just as he was about to give it a go, Aldridge made a substitution.

Lahm, who left Bayern Munich last summer, replaced Baines, while Ashley Cole has been injured recently and will not be back until two weeks away.

Baines's limitations at left wing-back, or his habit in attack, must still be based on the habit of using the left foot, so his strategy is more effective, but when he cuts inside, he is a little weak, Ashley Cole is more impactful, experienced and mature, and Lahm has an innate advantage, he is a right-footed player, in other words, he can play a good threat when he cuts inside the front waist line and passes the right foot.

More than half a season has passed, and Lahm is more targeted than his growth after leaving Bayern Munich, at least, in terms of special skills.

Mullensteen started out with the attacking ability of the wingers to develop a training plan for Lahm.

Replacing Lahm today, in the eyes of the outside world, Aldridge is just a "young player for young player" substitution.

Actually, it's not, it's a partial change in the way of attacking.

And Lahm quickly shocked Bayern Munich after he came on the field!

The kid scored in the 76th minute!

It was on the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldo caught the ball in possession, Ramtau came up to win the ball and unexpectedly cut across the middle, curling a shot from the edge of the box, the ball went around the back line and flew straight into the far corner of the goal, leaving the fans stunned.

After the goal, Lahm stretched out his hand to signal his teammates not to come to him to celebrate.

The teammates also walked slowly towards the backcourt in understanding.

The Bayern Munich triumvirate, who watched the game from the stands, looked a little ugly.

Looking at Lahm now, he doesn't look like a full-back!

Or rather, too good a full-back!

This is the disbelief of the Bayern hierarchy, who were hesitant to renew Lahm's contract for most of the season.

They began to recall the deal.

Did Aldrich set his sights on Rahm in the first place?

Millwall need full-backs.

Bayern Munich will not let go of the more impressive Schweinsteiger.

Of the three conditions, Ram is the only one that seems to be too expensive as a bargaining chip and is worth letting go.

The Bayern Munich Big Three will never have an answer unless they ask Aldridge.

And this season's Champions League journey, Bayern Munich seems to be planted at the feet of Millwall again. (To be continued......)
