With the exception of the controversial Italian style of pure chain defensive football, there is no team in contemporary European football that has really suppressed the opponent to the point of having to "passively" swing the bus when the strong meet each other.

On the one hand, FIFA is constantly changing the rules to encourage offense.

On the other hand, there is the need for the marketization of football, if you want to expand the fan base, this group that can mainly bring income and benefits to the club, then the negative football concept will definitely not achieve this goal for the club, such as Arsenal around 90, Graham's Arsenal record is brilliant, but their games are called "library" as boring, and even Highbury's attendance is extremely dismal, because even die-hard fans can hardly tolerate lethargic games, Not to mention spending money.

Millwall's football philosophy has always been ahead of its time.

The philosophy of football is the same, and there has never been a transcendent and peerless in the absolute sense of the word.

Millwall are now promoting passing, but it's just a foundation, the foundation of shaping the shape of the game, making itself absolutely advantageous, and it can be said that the offense instead of the defense has been played to the extreme.

While maintaining effective possession of the ball, the frontcourt players look for openings, catch openings, prepare for them, and then burst out with more threatening attacks.

This has similarities to Barcelona in Pep Guardiola's era, but it is not quite the same.

Barcelona claim to be unchanged for 20 years, making their fans proud, and this pride is hypocritical, because a formation of 433 does not represent any inheritance.

If Barcelona fans think Cruyff's Barcelona, Van Gaal's Barcelona, Rijkaard's Barcelona. It's the same as Pep Guardiola's Barcelona. Or rather, in the same vein. Well, this is absolutely a lie.

Pep Guardiola's Barcelona took passing to the top!

And fans who don't like Barcelona are slamming them for their excessive inverted passes, which make them drowsy.

However, from a tactical point of view, many of Barcelona's seemingly meaningless passes are actually "attacking instead of defending", they will obviously push the attack into the danger zone, but will pass the ball back. Reorganizing again, is it simply about controlling the ball? Is it the pursuit of brush possession?

No, every time it was like a temptation, and like a provocative attack into the danger zone and then a return pass, the global shape shì was undergoing a subtle change, that is, forcing all the opponent's players to be nervous! Must be defended! Because there are already signs of danger!

When the opponents are back on the defensive, Barcelona will attack again, and they will not be very wolf when they are counterattacked, and they can calmly counterattack and arrange the defensive line. Even those whose opponents are not outstanding in skills and tactics, they themselves don't know how to fight back. Because its own formation has been chaotic when all the members have to go crazy when they are forced to defend back.

But in terms of pure "pass-and-control" tactics, it was not extremely transcendent at its peak, the Spanish national team reached an unprecedented glory, but they did not bring a crazy momentum of devastation, Barcelona is extremely brilliant, but it highlights the importance of Messi, because in many key moments, it still needs "unexpected variables" to decide the game.

Messi's individual ability is the key catalyst for Barcelona at the peak of passing control, it can be said that without Messi, even if Barcelona occupies an absolute advantage on the field with passing control, there will still be many, many games that cannot be won!

That's the traditional power of football in some of the mainstream notions!

There are a lot of people who are disgusted by this kind of passing, such as Beckenbauer, who thinks that when you have the opportunity to break through the goal, you have to be bold and try instead of passing the ball back.

It is undeniable that this kind of passing control can bring countless advantages such as pressing on your own scene, consuming the opponent, and ensuring your own safety at the same time, so many teams that are not afraid of death are unwilling to put on the bus, unwilling to shrink, and then, they die very miserably, and they lose very heroically.

It's like Millwall slaughtered Chelsea and Monaco on the way to the Champions League final, because they refused to swing the bus and tried to disrupt Millwall's organization by rushing in the midfield, and the result was that the defensive strength of the back line declined, and they couldn't grab the ball, but were easily broken through the defense by Millwall.

Millwall does not have Messi in the first team now, but the kind of traditional mainstream individual force that Messi can provide, Millwall is even stronger than Barcelona at its peak!

Ronaldo and Henry are the most prominent.

If this energy is quantified, it can be simply compared with the pair states.

To defend against Xiao Luo, one player is not enough, at least two.

To defend against Henry, one is not enough, and at least two are also needed.

Only world-class defenders, such as Nesta and Maldini, can completely freeze Ronaldo and Henry in 90 minutes on a one-on-one basis, and there is still a specific environment, that is, Ronaldo and Henry must actively challenge each other one-on-one!

If there's space to pass the ball, there's a point of contact, why do I need to be one-on-one with you? Passing and running accelerates, changes direction, and world-class defenders are not gods, and they will also be attacked!

And Nedved and Larsson, corresponding to Porto's defensive player ability today, can't be prevented one-on-one, at least one and a half, that is, three people in a local joint defense, maybe they can limit two people in the case of perfect cooperation.

In this way, in theory, to freeze Millwall's front four, it would take at least six people, and it would be six people to form the perfect joint defense system.

The reality is that Millwall's attacking routine is irregular, with a wide range of movement and frequent transitions, which makes it more difficult for defenders to mark them.

If you also take into account the sudden back-insertion of Alonso and the two full-backs.

Opponent, in addition to putting a bus, is there a way to live?

Of course, the construction of such a system is not a simple player ability to quantify can be done, otherwise, the Galaxy Battleship will not begin to fall, first of all, they do not have Millwall's midfield and backfield pass control to shape a stable field advantage, and secondly, the frontcourt offensive group does not have Millwall's team tacit understanding, the luxury Galaxy Battleship, now it has reached the point of sacrificing Raul, so that Raul spends most of his energy to participate in the team's defense, and conceded 54 goals in just 38 league rounds in a season. Defensive quality ranks in the lower middle of the league. There is no solid defense. Attacks can be weakened at the same time, and the football philosophy of "scoring one more goal than your opponent" is completely outdated! The interaction between offense and defense has never been closer and deeper.

Aldrich's work in the past year can be seen as summarizing the essence of the ten years of condensation of the wild lions, and sublimating the team's combat effectiveness in the specific implementation, Chelsea is using money to carry out football revolution, and Aldridge's Millwall is using pure competitive vitality to promote the development of modern football as a whole!

Millwall, towards the place where the summit is crossed. Towards "no solution" in the true sense of the word!

The opponent will not be able to crack their technical and tactical system, and will not be able to form a powerful sniper.

You can only put the bus, compress the space, use human flesh to reduce the area of the goal, and then, resigned to fate, Millwall may lose to luck, to their own form, to the future time, and possibly to the referee. However, they will never lose to any opponent on this planet!

I'm fine. No one wants to beat me!

Because, I'm the strongest! Not one of them!

At half-time in the Champions League final, the score was 2:0, Millwall led by two goals, and Mourinho completely understood the real strength of this game after watching the first half of the game.

Millwall could destroy Porto, but Aldridge couldn't crush Mourinho's self-confidence.

Can be defeated, but not knocked down!

People who have persistent beliefs will get up again and again, keep their heads held high and continue to move forward.

Porto started to swing the bus in the second half, in absolute terms, only striker Del Lai was alone in the centre circle looking for an opportunity, and the other players almost all retreated into the danger zone 35 yards in front of goal.

Jose Mourinho figured out how to limit Millwall, and even if the score was 0-0, Porto would have less than one in ten chance of winning.

Millwall's passing is extremely shameless in his opinion, like a kind of seduction, if you dare to throw in the force to grab me in the midfield, I dare to pass the ball up, let those superstars in the attack flash you regret!

Where is the shamelessness of this seduction?

If there are only two or three players in Porto, Millwall are not in a hurry and play tricks on each other.

But if it's four or five players, Millwall will immediately push the attack to the front, because at the back, Porto will only have five or six defenders, and Millwall can still play a threatening attack even if they don't have teammates in the back, 4vs6.

Mourinho changed his mind to comfort himself, Millwall is strong on paper, Porto can have a few world-class defensive players, or if Porto is really a team with the same strength as Millwall on paper, Mourinho firmly believes that he will not lose!

Aldridge won, but he only won on better resources.

It is not impossible to defeat the strong in front of the tactician Aldridge, the ultra-luxurious Millwall, and the magnificent new technical and tactical system they have created, and the probability is very small, and they have redefined the height and concept of the strong.

In the second half, Aldridge adjusted the team's attack, and the opponent put the bus on the side, and Millwall's change of attack could make a difference.

Ashley Cole and Schneider shuttled and cut inside on the flanks, but they still turned the Porto defence upside down!

Squeeze their defensive formation back even further.

The tearing of the wings meant that the width of the opponent's defensive formation was stretched, which made Porto's midfielders have to fill in the backline frequently, and the chain reaction led to a decrease in the protection in front of the penalty area.

When Alonso also came up, Millwall did not attack and penetrate the box, and from outside the box, used long-range shots to intimidate opponents.

In the 64th minute, Costinha and Mendes were passed by Ronaldo, Nedved, and Alonso, who came up with an assist, to the impact of the shock.

They couldn't keep up with the speed of the ball and the defenders didn't dare to step forward as Schneider and Ashley Cole were both eyeing the top corner of the box.

And Henry and Larsson's running positions were also erratic, which made their scalps tingle.

The Millwall team has an amazing tacit understanding, with a continuous kick that will not be missed, and the deep, horizontal, and four-sided passes are tearing apart the opponent's defensive formation.

After a swinging pass from side to side, Ronaldo and Nedved and Larsson made another pass combination, and the Porto defenders were dizzy, and when the ball was at Nedved's feet, Costinha and Mendes collapsed as they kept switching defensive targets!

They both pounced on Nedved at the same time, who gently passed the ball laterally to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Ronaldo shook off Deco and rushed forward to meet the ball with the instep of his foot!

A brilliant curling shot over the top went around Carvalho's head and into the top right corner of the net, very close to where he had scored his first goal.

Baia is also constantly moving on the goal line, because Millwall's offensive transfer ball is outside the penalty area, it is possible to shoot from a distance, he has to use guò to compress the angle, the goalkeeper's first point is to block the near corner, that is to say, the ball is from the center of the three-dimensional area of the goal, basically the goalkeeper must be in the goal line defensive position, so in the continuous movement, Baia also seemed to be caught off guard, Xiao Luo's foot itself played extremely tricky and suddenly, Baia saved too late, I could only watch the ball lie quietly in the goal.

Xiao Luo smiled lightly after scoring and spread his hands to greet the spectators in the stands, as if to say that the goal was scored easily. (To be continued......)
