After Larsson's goal, Aldridge gestured to his players before kick-off at Barcelona and the players immediately understood.

After the restart, Millwall's attack began to tilt to the left, and Pirlo's attacking arrangement began to tilt towards Larsson's side, and Larsson became a key figure in Barcelona's defence.

Until the end of the first half, Barcelona did not slow down the blow after conceding the goal, and they were suppressed by Millwall, and they barely controlled the midfield for a minute throughout the first half!

At halftime, the two teams walked into the locker room, Robson was full of grimness, but he was still a little glad that he did not concede the second goal in the first half.

Aldridge returned to the locker room and closed the door, asking aloud, "Who is tired?" ”

Although the players' jerseys were wet with sweat, they collectively chanted: "No! ”

The whole main team has been preparing for nearly half a month, just for today's 90 minutes, they fought harder than Barcelona in the first half, more actively, and ran more distance, but they were not tired at all, and their physical advantages were not just words, they were intuitively reflected in the game.

Aldridge nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Give us 45 minutes, we can score a goal for Barcelona, give us 90 minutes, we can completely destroy Barcelona!" In the second half, we can't relax, we can't make stupid low-level mistakes! We are not the favourites, but we just want to tell the world openly: Barcelona is not our opponent! We are the stronger team, I am sure you are not afraid of them, in the first half we had more chances, they barely fought back, in the second half, we have only one enemy: ourselves! Don't get distracted and don't think about how to celebrate after winning a championship. Don't adjust yourself to the form of your opponent, just take the best of your best, take the game with the most serious attitude, whatever happens, remember our tactics, stick to it, we'll win, I don't want to see anyone slack off and make mistakes, in that case, you'll regret it. You will also fail the efforts of your teammates, but I firmly believe that you will not, because we are? ”

"Wild Lion!"

Aldridge didn't make any tactical changes in midfield, and their tactical changes were already comfortable in the game, with Aldridge making a gesture. The players know what to do.

Barcelona was suppressed in the first half, and Aldridge didn't want to make any adjustments.

If he starts to hold a one-goal advantage now. Then he would be giving the initiative back to Barcelona. He can't do that, he motivates the players, they get their minds in the same mind, don't care about the score, concentrate on defending every opponent's attack, and do everything they can to score more goals!

This will be a landmark battle. Aldridge wants to take away from the Netherlands not only a glittering championship trophy, but also to show Millwall's football to Europe and the world!

The second half began. Barcelona's frontcourt players dropped back to receive the ball more and more, and Millwall's attack continued at the end of the first half, again playing Larsson's side.

Enrique's lack of pressure on the right flank allowed Capdevilla to have space to step up and assist when attacking, and the battle between the two teams was getting hot.

Larsson received the ball on the left flank, Frell was close to the defense, and Larsson took the ball and took a step sideways before passing the ball to the left baseline.

Capdevilla cut in quickly, Enrique desperately chased back, the former met the ball with a cross, Trezeguet failed to grab the point, the ball was cleared by Kutto in front of the post, the ball that popped up in the box fell at the feet of Popescu, he was a step slow to handle the ball, Nedved successfully counter-attacked and knocked the ball to Larsson in front of the box, who took a long shot and the ball slid out of the goal.

Larsson shook his head regretfully, then turned back and ran towards the backcourt to defend.

Seeing the movement of Millwall's players on the pitch, the person who was most shocked on the sidelines was Jose Mourinho.

What was Millwall's striker's first reaction after scoring 50 goals in all competitions that season? Run back to defend!

How can such a team not be strong?

And he also saw that it was precisely because Millwall's strikers went back to defend that in the counterattack, they had more room for forward impact, and when advancing quickly, the defenders could not make a mistake in judgment when they intercepted from the front, and in terms of speed, a striker who ran at high speed from the front rushed over, and once the defender was hit behind the ball, then it was logical to turn around and then accelerate, and it was easy to get rid of it.

The crux of Barcelona's problem is not too difficult to understand, the front is too long, the three lines cannot be connected, and Millwall is cut layer by layer with an aggressive defense.

The striker is in front, the midfield is frozen, and if the defenders stay behind the most, the success rate of organizing the attack is very low, which requires the forward line to retreat, the midfielder to run more to pull out the gap, and the back line is also involved in the strategy, and this seems to be in the arms of Millwall.

How to crack Millwall's set, Mourinho racked his brains and found that maybe it was how fast the opponent ran to make the advantage so obvious.

And the blurring of the characters is also thought-provoking.

Not only Nedved, the responsibility of the forward to return to the defense, the backfield players to participate in the strategy, the multi-point flowering of the offensive initiation, etc., Millwall's entire tactical system, it is difficult to use a fixed responsibility on the head of a player, even if it is Makelle, his short pass is accurate, but also sharing the organizational task of Pirlo, Pirlo is an important commander, but not the only playmaker, when Nedved needs to pass the ball, Nedved can also make such an effect.

How to play Barcelona?

Mourinho as an assistant coach had a headache, but Barcelona scored!

Figo didn't choose to go down again after retreating to catch the ball, because he retreated very deeply, Schneider didn't stick it, after all, if he pressed forward, there would be a large space behind him, and the protection space was more important than close marking.

Figo unexpectedly cut inside and went down the middle, De la Pena caught Makelele's attention, and Pirlo reflexively ran to intercept Figo, only to be easily cleared by Figo.

Makelele retreated to the penalty area and began to press Figo, only to see Figo's earth-shattering long-range shot from 30 yards outside the box!

The ball hit the crossbar with a thud, and Bout had already saved, but because of the tricky angle, the ball came suddenly. He didn't touch the ball, but it bounced off.

De la Pena won the ball in the box and Makelele quickly made up for it, but De la Pena slotted the ball into the right side of the box.

Enrique rushed in to cross the ball and Ronaldo stopped the ball near the penalty spot in the box!

Southgate and Elgra happened to be sandwiching Ronaldo one after the other, only to see the alien swing his leg and make a shooting action, Elgra immediately raised his leg to block, Southgate did not dare to make a move from behind Ronaldo, and could only squeeze the other party with his body.

Elgra felt like his body could block the angle of the opponent's shot, but the next second. Ronaldo flicked the ball sideways.

Feints!

Elgra lost his centre of gravity and Southgate couldn't do anything about it, and when he slid to block Ronaldo's real shot, the ball was already flying towards the back of the net.

The ball rolled into the corner of the goal against the inside of the post.

Barcelona equalized in the 67th minute of the second half!

"Ronaldo shoots, no. He didn't shoot, he shook Elgra. Shot! The ball is in! Ronaldo scored the equaliser. He managed to fool everyone on the Millwall Line! He's going to be a great goalscorer, he's going to be, and although Larsson has scored more goals than him, Ronaldo is only 20 years old! ”

After Ronaldo's goal, the Barcelona bench was jubilant and saw the goal in a pensive Mourinho. Immediately rushed out of the gang to wave his arms in celebration, and although the old coach Robson was happy, he still stepped forward to calm Mourinho down.

It was just an equaliser!

But the Barcelona players were very excited, they were direct participants in the game. They know better than anyone how hard it was to score!

Millwall had been dominant, but could not extend the score, and the players couldn't help but look at Aldridge.

Aldridge, however, clenched his right fist and gestured in front of him, then gave a thumbs up and pointed at the Barcelona gate.

The players quickly put away the frustration after conceding the goal.

When the game resumed, Barcelona seemed to be looking to take advantage of the win, and Millwall pounced on them as soon as they kicked off.

The ball rolled back and forth at the feet of the Millwall players, who passed the ball calmly and accurately.

Trezeguet - Shevchenko - Pirlo - Makelle - Southgate - Capdevilla - Southgate - Schneider - Pirlo - Larsson - Nedved.

The 11 passes that followed the restart were all successful, and the ball went from midfield to the back, then back to midfield and then to Larsson.

Barcelona pounced too hard, and the ball came to the feet of Larsson, who was the most threatening threat in their eyes, which made their backline rush up in a panic, and Larsson passed the ball back to Nedved, who kept the ball and stuffed it straight away, Larsson was in position, but the ball did not come to his side.

All the Barcelona defenders thought it would be Larsson who got forward to deliver the most difficult blow, but they didn't expect Nedved's through ball to Shevchenko on the other side.

The Ukrainian nuclear warhead accelerated to shake off Sergi and went straight into the penalty area, Baia rushed over to grab the ball when he saw that the situation was not good, but Shevchenko was half a step faster, he stabbed the ball away first, and the direction in which the ball rolled made Baia shocked: in front of the goal!

The goal is empty!

Abelardo flew out to clear the ball, but he couldn't touch the ball, Trezeguet got ahead of Couto and flew out of the ball at the back post, a tackle that touched the ball on his toes and slammed it into the Barcelona goal.

When the goal was scored, there was a brief pause in the game.

The audience was dumbfounded.

What happened?

The narrator was even more excited.

"Larsson passes back to Nedved, Nedved doesn't stop the ball and goes straight to the right side of the box, Shevchenko is there! He got the ball down the middle before Baia, and Trezeguet fell to the ground and slotted it in! The ball is in! Millwall quickly took the lead again after being equalised, and Barcelona didn't even touch the ball after the restart! Let's count, count, Millwall used 13 passes throughout the process before Trezeguet finished the attack, and he turned his team-mates' efforts into a golden goal! The first kick was from his kick-off in the center circle, and the last shot was also done by him! What else can we say? It's a great example of team football! ”

Trezeguet roared and rushed to the sidelines, taking off his jersey in celebration.

With 20 minutes remaining, Aldridge made a substitution.

Ballack, Zambrotta and Glenschal were already on the bench.

Rafael Benitez, Jenson and Craig each talked about their roles and responsibilities when they came on the pitch.

Barcelona had just equalised and were down again after less than a minute, which dealt them a huge blow.

Robson also immediately dispatched troops, and the old man was going to fight for his life!

It's rare that both teams change people at the same time, and they are all one change is three people!

Millwall brought on Zambrotta for Capdevilla, Glen Charles for Trezeguet and Ballack for Pirlo.

The formation was changed to 4231, with Shevchenko up front, Larsson and Glen Charles on the wings, and Ballack and Makelele at the back.

Barcelona brought on Pizzi for Popescu, Stoichkov for Freel and Giovanni for Abelardo.

What formation did Barcelona play after the substitution?

God knows!

The pure defenders on the field are not counted as goalkeepers, and only Sergi and Coutto are left! Even if you add the back guardiola, it's only three! (To be continued......)
