Thank you for the reward of "Thief Death" and "Qingqing Little Wolf"! ――
Camp Nou was silent.
The shouts of "Barcelona" faded.
It was only 2o minutes before Barcelona fans began to extinguish the flame of hope for the team's comeback against Millwall.
In the stands, there sat a Barcelona legend and godfather, Cruyff.
The current Barcelona, it is difficult to say that it is his ideal Barcelona, the style of passing and control is impossible to talk about, look at the configuration and characteristics of the players, and you will know that the style of this team must not be the ideal style of passing and control skills and tactics.
Rivaldo, Ovimas, these are players who emphasize more individual ability, and the style of play of midfielders Cocu and Roshenbach, how do you expect them to build a strong midfield advantage through guò passing, and then also maintain contact with the forward line to provide strong support?
In Cruyff's eyes, Millwall has a golden midfield configuration.
Gattuso is the main defense, Nedved is the main attack, Pirlo is the organization, what a clear division of labor!
With Pirlo as the center, with defensive support in the back and offensive cover in front, he is the heart, commander, and brain of Millwall's overall skills and tactics!
At this stage, Barcelona actually has a similar organizational core, but because of its youth, the coach does not dare to use it, to put it bluntly, he feels that the risk is too great!
Xavi is already in the first team, a youngster who was promoted before Van Gaal left, saying that he is young, he is also 22 years old, is his youth an excuse to be trusted compared to Pirlo?
Cruyff shook his head and sighed, Pirlo's growth. Aldridge cultivated it, and he had no doubt that Aldridge would be the manager of Barcelona. A player like Xavi could be two years. Three years ago, he was already on the throne!
Although the current Barcelona coach Rexage was once his assistant, he was not his puppet, and Cruyff could not make Lexage listen to him completely.
Judging by these two games and the table in the league, Rexage's days at Barcelona are also coming to an end.
Cruyff watched another five minutes of the game before leaving the table early in disappointment, not even watching the first half.
Because Barcelona was instigated, they withdrew at home to defend.
After Rexage conceded the first goal, the whole person was already panicking.
Losing 3:6 away from home is already a nightmare. With another big loss at home, he can't imagine how far the anger of the Barcelona fans will burn.
No matter how strong his composure was before the game and encouraged the whole team to fight for a comeback at home, when Barcelona conceded the first goal, he knew that a comeback was impossible, and even now, an even bigger crisis was in front of him: the Camp Nou was about to fall!
You have to defend and you can't let Millwall score again!
Lexage was at this time without a master, and did not dare to hope to reverse the opponent, and was able to keep the draw at home, symbolically retaining his dignity. That's his greatest hope right now.
However, it backfired!
He suddenly asked Barcelona to retract to defend, and the players on the field were also at a loss. This is not only different from what the preparation and the head coach emphasized before the game, but also the ultimate opposite!
We were always working on how to attack and the dressing room was saying before the game that we could turn the opponent back.
Before the game even reached 3o minutes, did you start to deny yourself?
Barcelona were a bit inconsistent on the pitch, some wanted to attack, some wanted to defend, especially at the back, and the second game was not over yet. Millwall has already scored his seventh goal as a defensive player. It's no longer a question of whether the face can be hung up, after the last encounter. The criticism and accusations they have received are nothing short of shameful!
As a result, Barcelona has a disconnect between the front and back formations!
Aldrich saw that the Barcelona front was stretched and the three lines could not be tightly combined, and suddenly guessed that the other party had collapsed!
How could Millwall miss such an opportunity?
Andrea Pirlo is firmly in control of the initiative in midfield, and he also feels relaxed, because Barcelona's strikers are not involved in defence, he has little pressure behind him, he is not worried about being counter-attacked, and he can focus on playing with attacking talent.
In the 32nd minute, Andrea Pirlo started to instigate an offensive from midfield.
Pass to Schneider, who steps forward and passes the ball back to Pirlo, who runs forward.
Pass Ronaldo again, two steps later, back to him, Nedved, Larsson.
When Larsson passed the ball back to Pirlo, Pirlo cut all the way to Barcelona's penalty area and formed a one-on-one momentum.
In the face of goalkeeper Bonano, Pirlo shot into the corner with understatement, and staged a goal like spring and snow!
"2:o, Millwall leads Barcelona 8:3 on aggregate, this goal is as wonderful as poetry, just look at Pirlo's goal, it is very ordinary, but if we watch the whole offensive process, we can see, Pirlo from the instigation of the attack to the goal, his every pass, Millwall's offensive player's running, passing and cutting with the superb, even if he has not touched the ball, Henry, has played a good role in containing the defense on the front line, and then look at Pirlo's technical actions to handle the ball, concise and clear, before he touches the ball, Having already figured out how to play the ball, without dragging his feet, this is Millwall, who can not only play a violent and oppressive attack, but also crush the opponent layer by layer like a cocoon. ”
Andrea Pirlo and his team-mates celebrated at the Camp Nou, and Aldridge jumped out of the crowd at the sight of the goal and roared wildly.
The goal was picturesque and Aldridge had no reason not to get excited.
In April, Millwall's eyes are naturally at the end of May.
European powers, are you ready?
Are you ready to tremble?
Lexark's mind went blank.
Attacked, conceded the goal.
Defending, conceding the ball.
Malegobi, what to do?
Barcelona's players were so frustrated that seven days ago, they lost 6-3 in London, and three days ago they were held to a draw at home by relegation side Las Palmas, and the league title race could be declared out. Now that they're 2-2 down at home, what team are they wearing?
Barcelona!
It is the team that aims to win the championship and the honor at all times!
Within a week. The championship on two fronts has failed, and the players have negative feelings in their hearts. Very normal!
There is no player who will join Barcelona without chasing the title!
That's the level, the status, the attitude and the ambition of this team.
Now that it's down to this point, the players on the pitch don't care what the manager thinks on the sidelines.
As it turned out, in the early 12o minutes of the battle with Millwall, the manager's line-up and on-the-spot command failed to lead the team to victory. And even now it's getting worse.
The charismatic players in the team boost the morale of the team and unify the thinking of the whole team: don't think about the score, don't think about the promotion or out, at Camp Nou, you must play the momentum of Barcelona, if nothing else, for the 100,000 fans wearing Barcelona jerseys in the stands!
Barcelona players agreed after some exchanges, and after the restart, they played their usual tactics, and it happened that Rexage was completely out of line. I don't know how to deal with the current situation, so I can only let the players swing freely.
At the same time, Barcelona strengthened their defensive aggression and moved a little too much. Every scramble is murderous.
In this way, Millwall has the advantage in tactics, but in the individual confrontation, Millwall began to gradually fall into disadvantage.
Aldrich naturally showed this, but he didn't make any adjustments, and even if there were situations like Xiao Luo's active evasion, he was still indifferent.
Put in general, he will certainly not tolerate, but at this time. He can turn a blind eye.
To put it bluntly, Barcelona is now barefoot. Millwall is shoe-wearing.
I can't afford to fight with you!
Why do I have to fight with you?
8:3.
I'm 5 goals ahead of you.
I'm going to play in the semi-finals and I'm aiming for the final.
I've been bitten like you mad dogs here. What to do?
This is the mentality of the players at this time, so seeing that Barcelona fought a little too hard, Millwall simply took the initiative to take it back, balance it a little, and no longer play pressing attacks.
Aldridge also thinks that there are really main players injured at this time, it is not cost-effective, it is not cost-effective at all, even if it scores 1o goals in Barcelona, it is a loss!
So he can tolerate the players to lower their sense of confrontation, which is actually excessive self-protection!
Barcelona's hard work paid off, as Kluivert scored a header just before half-time to make it 2-1.
Rexage finally came back to his senses at half-time, and now Kluivert has scored, thinking that Barcelona may have a play like this!
So in the second half, Barcelona still played this way.
Since the opponent doesn't play art and goes wild, Aldridge doesn't pretend to be an elegant gentleman, as soon as the second half comes up, Millwall plays defense, there is no chance to counterattack, and the midfield controls zhì, anyway, as long as it looks like Millwall is not shrinking and completely defending.
Lexage scolded Aldrich's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Millwall stopped attacking again, and instead made a cold wave of surprise attacks.
In the 66th minute, Henry went into the penalty area against offside and was knocked down by De Boer from the back, Millwall won a penalty, Larsson hit it, and the score was rewritten to 3:1, Millwall continued to lead by two goals away from home.
After this goal, Aldridge made a change, the trident was withdrawn, Klose, Villa, and Ramour went up to charge, and Nedved retreated at the same time to strengthen the defense.
Ten minutes later, Ramour set up Klose for another goal with a cross from the wing, and the Camp Nou booed!
The red-eyed Barcelona relied on Overmars' follow-up shot in front of the goal in the last minute of the game to pull another goal back, but the big picture was decided by this time.
Barcelona fans couldn't accept to see the team suffer another heavy defeat at home, and the reversal that was advertised before the game was really a flash of hope for a minute.
In stoppage time, Roshenbach rushed up to foul Pirlo, sending Aldridge angry and yelling at Rexach.
"If you lose, you lose! There's only a minute left in the game! What are your players doing? Can you score 5 goals in 1 minute? Don't say it's the will to fight, his pedaling is hooliganism! ”
Lexage saw another side of Aldrich, he always felt that this young marshal was elegant, gentle, and heroic, and now at a glance, it was almost no different from the street boss who took the lead to find fault.
Look, Millwall's coaching staff was all behind him, frosty and angry!
Think about it, if Pirlo is injured, will Millwall win or lose this game?
After the first round, they basically announced that they had advanced to the semifinals.
Aldridge's side is difficult, the Barcelona coaching staff does not accept the recruitment, Rexage turned around and retreated two steps, not wanting to clash with Aldridge, and he is also at a loss.
Fortunately, Pirlo is fine, otherwise Aldridge really feels that this game is worth the loss, in the final sprint, many players in the team are indispensable, and the importance of Pirlo must be ranked in the top three in the team.
"After 18o minutes of battle, the Champions League 1/4 finals came to an end, the defending champion Millwall and Barcelona's match, respectively, ended with 6:3 in the first leg, and 4:2 in the second leg, the aggregate score, Millwall defeated Barcelona 1o:5 to advance to the semifinals, the second leg of the game is far less exciting than the first leg, but home and away double defeat La Liga giants, Millwall deserves to be the number one team in Europe, and they have undoubtedly been the biggest favorites to win the championship, They should be most concerned now about tomorrow's result, which will determine their semi-final opponents, and perhaps they don't care because it looks like no team can beat them.
