962 Goodbye, young marshal
Thank you for the reward of "Thief Death" and "Qingqing Little Wolf"! ――
"Hahaha, Monaco probably just woke up, his body just warmed up, and when he opened his eyes, he was two goals behind! The two blitzkriegs after Millwall changed the score to 2:0 in the opening two blitzkriegs, one was a sudden outbreak of positional battles, and the other was a counter-attack. In the Premier League, Arsenal fans are always boasting about how their team plays gorgeously, and Lions fans will shoot back disdainfully: You are only strong in counterattack, but even better than counterattack, Lions are far better than you! This is not an empty sentence or an angry rebuttal, Millwall's fans have the confidence to say so, because they started by counterattacking, and their opponents will frequently use dense defense in order not to give them space to counterattack, but Monaco does not have such awareness, look at the speed of Ronaldo dribbling on the wing, and the speed of Henry's sprint, the picture of Monaco frontcourt players returning to defense illustrates a qiē: they are getting farther and farther away from the ball! ”
Deschamps was a little messy.
According to Millwall's threat of counterattack, they don't need to be overwhelmed by large soldiers, they can rely on tridents to get a qiē, and one more Xiao Luo, how can this be prevented?
The four-person group in the front court, each has the ability to eat the opponent with speed one-on-one, especially Xiao Luo and Henry are the most threatening, give them enough space, and two people can't prevent one of them!
Coming to his senses, Didier Deschamps immediately let the team shrink back.
Aldridge gestured again lightly on the sidelines: Millwall defended solidly and controlled the tempo.
Next, Millwall's positioning looks more balanced. However, the midfield pass is well coordinated. Stay on the ball. Use the passing combination to drain the energy of the opponent's frontline harassing player.
Perhaps the outside world didn't understand the significance of Millwall's actions.
But the effect is intuitive in the eyes of Millwall's coaching staff.
For example, Morientes retreated to midfield as a striker, and Alonso controlled the ball in front of him, should Morientes go to grab it?
He had to be more or less defensive harassment.
Corresponding to Roten, Gyuli, the same.
So they kept running and sprinting in a small area and short distances, trying to break the ball and hit Millwall's counter-attack.
However, Millwall's midfield and backfield are very tacit and cooperative, so that they do not make mistakes in passing.
To put Millwall under more pressure, the Monaco midfield line will have to come up and put the pressure on.
In this way, as long as the midfield line is slightly loosened. Millwall's offense will be pushed forward, and there will be more room to play in the frontcourt, and the success rate of threatening attacks will be further improved!
At the same time, even if this wave of attacks does not work, it doesn't matter, Monaco wants to play a counter-attack, but the trident who does harassment work in the front court may have a decrease in speed in a short period of time, or they may be in a bad position because of harassment, when Millwall defend them. It's easier to isolate them, i.e. cut through the opponent's attacking formation. Causing them to lose contact with their teammates.
After 2:0, 20 minutes passed, Millwall Guò made a quick pass of the ball to drain the opponent's energy, and the Guò team defended to limit Monaco's attack.
Roten and Gyuli did not succeed in the inside, and the midfield combination of Alonso and De Rossi covered a wide range of areas, especially filling the gaps in the ribs of the back line, and specifically restraining the opponent's winger-to-inside style of play.
As for the winger who crossed the bottom, Morientes was the only one in the middle, and he struggled to make a difference between Nesta and Southgate.
Alonso began to control the rhythm of the game, the role of metronome came into the room, when the game came to the 30th minute, Monaco was familiar with Millwall's tepid back and forth routine, some couldn't hold back to attack, they played two counterattacks in a row, the team's overall running and scrambling became more and more wild, Alonso saw that the opponent had a tendency to raise his head, so he quickly launched a wave of fast attack.
He suddenly stopped passing to the wide players, but directly plugged the ball diagonally into the deep area of the side, and the old and demonic Larsson ran out of the gap, and this long-distance diagonal and dangerous pass was a signal to speed up.
How could Larson not know?
Ronaldo was close to his flank, but Alonso caught the Monaco defenders off guard when he played the ball behind him.
Behind Xiao Luo, Alonso boldly rushed up, stopped the ball forward, distracted the Monaco waist line, and then handed the ball to Xiao Luo who ran forward, Xiao Luo turned to make a two-one with Henry, and then he continued to rush into the penalty area, Henry's pass, Xiao Luo's running, and the tacit understanding of passing and running was jaw-dropping.
Single-handed!
Roma abandoned the goal, Xiao Luo was heading towards the goal, but when Rome rushed over, he pushed the ball to the bottom line, changed direction and passed the goalkeeper, and the shooting angle was close to zero angle, Xiao Luo was not strong, knocked the ball horizontally in front of the goal line, and Ronaldo, who arrived quickly on the other side, sent the ball into the goal.
The Lions fans in the stands of the Lion King Stadium stood up en masse and clapped and cheered desperately.
"Millwall, pass the ball into the Monaco goal! Alonso, Larsson, Ronaldinho, Thierry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Millwall's goal is the pinnacle of teamwork! It couldn't be more wonderful! Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice! It's really unexpected that Monaco, who eliminated Real Madrid, is powerless in front of Millwall! ”
Deschamps' eyes were torn apart, and at the same time he felt incredible, he was already frightened!
And in front of Millwall's dugout, Aldridge had a gentle expression and his chin was raised.
At this moment, not only is the entire European football world re-examining Millwall, but also re-examining the young coach!
At the beginning of Aldridge's first full season in charge of Millwall, people did not look at Aldridge differently, and even felt that Aldridge had regressed.
Why?
Because Millwall is not the top team in the Premier League.
Because Millwall lost in the first half of the league.
Because Millwall have exposed problems in many draws.
Because
There are countless reasons to belittle Aldrich, to kick him off the altar.
Aldridge has never argued that he will only do one thing in front of the media: what is good for the team.
Opposite. The more the outside world belittles Aldrich. The more they regard him as an ordinary person. That's better, it's good for the team, why should Aldridge refute it? Why prove what? Why engage in such a boring war of words?
What's wrong with all opponents if they treat him like an ordinary person?
Moreover, the problem exposed by Millwall is reality!
If the team is okay and perfect, why did Klinsmann step down?
Why did Aldrich bother to build the third generation of the Wild Lion?
The capture of information from the outside world always lags behind relative to the person concerned.
After beating Bayern Munich over two legs. Millwall has transitioned from a building to a new stage: excellence!
Now they are working well in all aspects, not far from the final result that Aldridge is expecting, the strength can be improved, but there will not be much fluctuation, and the other very important improvement depends on the results, the championship!
Alonso, De Rossi, Lahm, Cristiano Ronaldo must also taste the championship and let them lift the trophy. Let them wear the championship medal, the thrill of this reward. The sublimation of temperament is something that a hundred years of training and a hundred years of ordinary competitions cannot bring.
And on the other hand, there is only one league title in a season, and there is only one champion in the Champions League in a year.
If you don't win the championship, it's someone else's.
The champion will be happy, and beyond the champion, there is only loss and frustration, which represents failure!
Failure is not only the mother of success, but also the cradle of disaster.
The blow to the players has caused a disaster to breed within the team!
Champions are not only a symbol of success.
It is also a must-have for top giants to maintain stable development!
Just over 30 minutes were played in the first half, and Monaco trailed by three goals.
Deschamps couldn't be more calm.
Monaco must score! Goal! Goal!
In the 42nd minute, after Larsson had just touched the ball in the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by Patrice Evra from behind, the referee blew the whistle from the penalty spot.
Deschamps closed his eyes in despair.
Monaco fans who came to the Lion King Stadium to cheer on the visiting team were heartbroken!
Evra excitedly defended something to the referee, and Larsson also had a flirtat.
He rebuked Evra mercilessly, "What are you protesting for? Do you think I'm faking a fall? ”
Patrice Evra, who had run away from Millwall, did not dare to confront Larsson, and left the scene of the incident when his teammates came to appease him.
Due to Larsson's reduced playing time this season, the first penalty taker in the team was given to Henry, but today, Henry conceded the penalty to Larsson.
Larsson's penalty was smashed.
"Millwall led Monaco 4-0 in the first half, Monaco was clearly not well prepared for this game, and it is no exaggeration to say that they thought they had met a second Real Madrid, but in fact it was not, they met Millwall, who was more convincing than Real Madrid! At the Bernabeu, they conceded four goals in 90 minutes, at the Lion King Stadium, 45 minutes, only 45 minutes, they were broken four times and did not even score a goal, and even with that scoreline, it is reasonable to conclude that Millwall will reach the semi-finals of this season's Champions League. ”
Didier Deschamps walked into the tunnel with a bloodless face.
Aldridge said lightly to the unfinished Lions after returning to the dressing room: "Although I don't want to say that, I have to tell you that I want the championship, the Champions League, the league, I want it all, so we have to be realistic." With a score of 4:0, if we maintain it until full-time, we will advance to the semi-finals, why? Because even Real Madrid and AC Milan can't come back to their home stadium and turn us around after falling behind by 4 goals! And we have to work hard to catch up with Arsenal in the league, the league is not a knockout game, the league needs us to be more stable and stronger, so in the second half we have to play counterattack, we have to make the rhythm slow most of the time, only when the opponent is crazy, the opponent is anxious, the opponent collapses, we will spend our body to impact their defense, and we must make the most reasonable use of physical energy. Do you understand? ”
All the generals said in unison: "Understood! ”
As the team progresses, Aldridge's authority within the team is higher than ever, because the efforts he has made on his behalf are building the team in the right direction.
The older generation of players has established a tacit understanding with him, trusting each other, of course, like Southgate told the media: willing to die for the leader. Such statements need not be taken seriously.
Young players, or those who have not worked with Aldridge for a long time, are deeply honored and cherished.
Aldrich is right.
In the whole of European football, there is no team that is really confident that it can turn around a four-goal deficit in 90 minutes.
Monaco is no exception!
Deschamps saw Millwall in the second half focusing on defense, and he was naturally unwilling.
If it ends at 4:0, the remaining 90 minutes will be meaningless.
However, Monaco was still afraid of Millwall's counterattack, and they did not dare to attack wildly, so they could only strengthen the pressing of the midfield.
The score remained unchanged until the 70th minute, when Aldridge replaced Larsson and Ronaldo with Villa and Kaka.
Deschamps saw his chance and ordered his team to make a desperate bet on the attack.
In the 74th minute, Kaka started from the middle and back, and staged a wonderful performance of assisting Villa to score after running from 40 yards to connect two people!
"That's why Millwall fans dare to say that they are definitely more flashy than Arsenal if they use counter-attacks as the tactical core, and there is absolutely no opponent who can limit them! They can work together as a team, and they also have individual long-distance runners, Monaco can only limit Henry and prevent Ronaldo in the end, however, they can no longer keep an eye on Villa, the two new youngsters have completed a perfect combination, 5:0, Monaco's Champions League journey this season, only garbage time is left. ”
After that goal, Aldridge replaced Schneider with Ramos.
Deschamps gritted his teeth!
Aldrich, you deceive people too much!
In the Champions League round of 8, is it humiliating to use a boy under the age of 18 to make a substitution?
Whether it was humiliation or not, Aldrich didn't care.
He just gave Ramos a birthday present.
Ramos will be 18th birthday in five days, and Aldridge is a gift to put him on the pitch today and put him on the stage of the Champions League last eight.
Ramos is full of fighting spirit and has been instilled with post-play tasks by Aldrich before coming on the pitch.
Why did Aldrich make his peers fearful when he commanded on the spot?
Because many times the "counterpoint substitution" actually has the purpose of tactical adjustment.
Players in the same position may also play different roles.
For example, a center forward can be a penetrating type, a pure shooter, or a column center.
The same is true for full-backs.
When Monaco was in a hurry to get an away goal, Ramos, who was not afraid of tigers, really "humiliated" Monaco after receiving Aldridge's tactical instructions.
He boldly pressed the assist on the right flank, and in the 83rd minute of a counter-attack, he broke into the box and assisted Kaka, who was inserted later!
When the game was over, the entire Monaco squad collapsed to the ground and collapsed!
Aldridge walked smoothly towards Deschamps, intending to shake hands with his opponent after the game, but seeing Deschamps stay where he was with a blank expression, he had to gently pat his opponent's arm and turn away.
The young marshal who rose to fame in 04, one of them, goodbye! (To be continued......)
