After conceding this goal, Southgate immediately whispered to Zambrotta, they are not afraid of Real Madrid to fight positional battles now, they are afraid of Real Madrid's counterattack, Real Madrid counterattacks, both the organization master Zidane, and Figo, who has the ability to create ZĂ o opportunities, plus the high school striker Morientes and the agile Raul, Millwall even if they compress the defensive space at the back, it is still not enough, no, because you will always lose someone in an instant, even if you keep up with the opponent's rhythm, you still have to constantly adjust and constantly switch the target.
The back line can't be completely man-to-man, the most important thing is the area, on the basis of the zone defense to mark the defense, Southgate has to withdraw to play a drag, equivalent to a scavenger, if there is a scavenger just now, Raul's running position will have someone to follow.
Southgate is to let Zambrotta to reclaim the middle, if he is counter-attacked, Zambrotta is the central defender, which must be clearly communicated between teammates in person, confirm responsibilities, otherwise it is impossible to clarify the responsible defensive area.
As for why he didn't say this to Schneider, the reason is clear at a glance, Schneider's body, the central defender is really enough, especially if you want to defend Morientes one-on-one, it is really crushed in all directions, you can be carried by the opponent, limit the opponent's high school forward to stop the ball in the penalty area, and make the ball, which is the basic requirement for defending this kind of center, Zambrotta is obviously more reliable than Schneider.
2:3
Millwall are still one goal ahead and the players on the pitch are not frustrated with conceding a goal, even if they are one goal behind now, it will not make much of a difference, on the contrary, they only have a stronger fighting spirit.
Hit a wave of deadly counterattacks!
Then try to make the opponent not even have a chance to fight back!
After the restart, Henry dropped back from the front and he found the more he was up front. On the contrary, it is easier to give Real Madrid's two back midfielders the opportunity to fill in the position accurately. Opposite. When he rushes forward from the back line in attack, it is easier to create chaos in Real Madrid's defence.
Real Madrid pulled a goal back, their morale was boosted, and after the restart, they pressed forward and tried to pull the score back with a bang, but Millwall pressed them back!
Millwall were once again in the rhythm of suppressing Real Madrid, and thanks to Thierry Henry's retreat, Millwall's attack was more controllable. On the contrary, Real Madrid, due to the lack of pressure in the frontcourt, led Millwall to constantly destroy the nerves of Real Madrid's defenders.
Makelele and Elgra frequently fill in the position, and the range of activities is very large, the positive meaning is to protect Real Madrid's defense, and the negative impact is physical problems, especially Elgra has to fight from time to time to respond to the attack.
In the 59th minute, Nedved almost had a long-range shot through the door of Real Madrid, and Casillas made a superb save, and after he made a save, Larsson almost broke the ball at the feet of Pavon. Frightened, Pavon drove the ball out of the bottom line in a panic.
After the corner, the referee called a timeout. Signal for a substitution on the sidelines.
"With 60 minutes played, Millwall made the first substitution, the veteran Larsson, who opened the scoring for Millwall, was substituted, and his replacement Klose, the more physical Klose will increase the pressure on the Real Madrid backline."
Larsson worked both ends of the floor for 60 minutes, and weakening Carlos' insert assist was his biggest defensive contribution.
Aldridge high-fived him in celebration as he left the game.
At 60 minutes, the game is about to reach a watershed stage, and this substitution is also a signal.
Millwall has changed formations!
Even though Nedved is an iron man, but in a game of this level, it is impossible to completely take into account both offensive and defensive ends in 90 minutes, just like the counterattack just now, as long as Real Madrid plays fast enough, Nedved is too late to defend, so after replacing Klose, Nedved's position will retreat, from the front to the midfield, the commentator, and even the Real Madrid coaching staff, all think that Millwall's replacement of Klose is a substitution, Klose will play winger or center forward on the field, in fact, Klose is to replace Nedved's position, he will play as a front midfielder.
There is also a change in the position of a player that he has in mind.
Xiao Luo.
In the first 60 minutes, Xiao Luo was actually playing in the field, he almost never entered the penalty area, did not go to grab points, did not try to let go of the speed and rush bravely, but just completed the work of strategy or local scheduling, and even his first 60 minutes, not like a winger at all, classical or modern, not like, more like a traditional full-back.
This is also what Aldridge emphasized before the game, the time that belongs to Xiao Luo will be the last 30 minutes, this substitution, the signal to Xiao Luo is: It's your turn, release it to your heart's content!
This arrangement is envisaged, first, the offensive core is shifted, from Henry and Larsson to Xiao Luo, so that the opponent cannot keep up with the rhythm of the transition. Second, the physical fitness retained by Xiao Luo began to be released, but the physical fitness of the Real Madrid back line began to enter a sharp decline due to the back and forth in the first 60 minutes. Third, the more time passes, the more impatient Real Madrid will become, and will intensify its attack, and the defensive space will be larger, and what Xiao Luo needs is space.
After Klose came out, Bosque was really confused for a while.
Klose was active in the middle of the penalty area, Henry had a larger range of movement, but tended to be on the right side, he thought Klose was playing as a center forward, but after watching for 3 minutes, he realized that Millwall may have played a 451.
But the thought vanished after 4 minutes.
Millwall strengthened their midfield and Nedved dropped back to put Real Madrid under defensive pressure in both positional battles and counter-attacks.
In the 67th minute, Zambrotta broke the ball from Figo's feet, Figo wanted to repeat the old trick, but Zambrotta grabbed it recklessly with Southgate behind, Figo observed his teammate's movement and lost the ball.
Zambrotta broke the ball and passed straight to Nedved who was running in front of him, and Nedved saw Elgra coming to grab it, half-turned and swept the ball forward.
Ronaldo picked up the ball on the left flank, and he immediately started to kill in the direction of the penalty area, cutting inside.
Makelle stood in front of his route, his feet getting faster and faster, and then he made two consecutive pedals when he was two metres away from Makelele.
Makelle lowered his center of gravity and guessed which side the opponent would change direction to break through, he decided to stand still, wait for Xiao Luo to change back and then turn around and stuck in position, the ball passed, but no one was there!
But after the two bicycles were pedaled, Xiao Luo suddenly stopped in place, and Makelle was stunned, only to see the ball rolling towards him, rolling between his legs and behind him!
"Is Ronaldinho starting to erupt? It can be clearly seen that the rhythm change after touching the ball has a completely different contrast from before, and the continuous crotch passing after pedaling the bicycle, although he uses this trick to pass the crotch is not as good as the Argentine Buccini, but every time I see him do this, it is still pleasing to the eye, and I can't help but applaud him. â
Makelle looked back, but saw Klose stop the ball, Makelele went to grab Klose, Klose passed the ball diagonally, Makelele was shocked: two over one hit the wall!
In fact, Makelele should be able to clearly realize that Xiao Luo will cooperate with Klose, but he was worn crotch, which is a disgraceful side on the court, and suddenly some anger and blood surged, so he rashly turned around to grab Klose, and when Klose passed the ball, he regretted it again, it was too late.
Ronaldo got the ball again in front of the penalty area, and with Hierro and Salgado ready to wrap him up, Ronaldo suddenly turned his head to look to the left.
Salgado subconsciously followed his line of sight, thinking that Millwall had someone on the side to assist, but when he looked over, he found that his right side was empty.
And Hierro doesn't know Salgado's situation, he robbed Xiao Luo, even if he can't grab it, if Xiao Luo passes him, Salgado can also fill the position and grab it again!
But Xiao Luo passed the ball out again, Makelle lost Xiao Luo before, and he couldn't lose Klose again, so he was holding Klose, for fear that he would grab Xiao Luo again, and Klose could directly hit the door if he stepped forward, so Klose actually dragged Makelele, and there was not much space in front of Makelele and the back line, and Xiao Luo's ball was passed across from this gap corridor.
"Oh, what is Pavon doing, Henry easily led the ball in front of him and then went forward, this rush, directly into the penalty area, Ronaldinho's passing ability to cross left and right is really more and more handy, let us vaguely see the style of Laudrup, who played this trick brilliantly."
Henry left poor Pavon behind, rushed forward with sheer speed advantage, led the ball in one go, he rushed past Pavon, Pavon turned again, it was too late.
Casillas also knew that Pavon was unreliable in this game, so as soon as Henry entered the penalty area, Casillas directly abandoned the goal, and there was nothing to hesitate.
Henry was more agile, Casillas had just run three steps before Henry crossed the ball to the far side of the net.
Xiao Luo ran into place, and even threw Hierro directly, and in front of him, an empty door was open.
The ball rolls over, Xiao Luo supports his right foot, wraps his left foot around the outside of his right foot, and sends the ball into the goal with a chic and beautiful leg back pulling action, this action, he occasionally performs when crossing, Rivaldo, Maradona, are often used, Millwall's supernova Ronaldo will also use when he shows footwork.
But dare to shoot at the Bernabeu, dare to use this action in this level of competition, only Xiao Luo, of course, there is an empty goal in front of him, and no one around him gives him defensive pressure, however, this still requires a strong psychological element, in case of smashing, it is not just as simple as not scoring an empty goal and becoming a laughing stock.
After the goal, Ronaldo celebrated completely differently from the first three goalscorers, he just ran slowly to the sidelines, then made a relieved gesture to wipe his sweat, smiled, and started to dance samba.
"Whew, after holding it for more than sixty minutes, it's finally my turn." (To be continued......)
