292 outmaneuvers over opponents

Before the start of the home game against Liverpool, Larsson, who returned to the team, took a photo with the whole team, holding the Ballon d'Or with a smile on his face, and the fans in the stands of the Lion's Den Stadium applauded enthusiastically and chanted Larsson's name.

The Lion's Roar fan group erected a banner in the South Stand with a hand-painted portrait of Larsson, which was particularly impressive.

After the photo with his teammates was over, Larsson deliberately walked up to Aldridge and hugged each other.

"Boss, thank you, I can't express my gratitude in words."

"No, you deserve it, Henrik, and I want to thank you for setting an example for the rest of your team-mates and making Millwall more famous and honourable."

The live TV camera has been locked on this image, Martin Taylor sighed in the live broadcast room: "Aldrich Hall and Henrik Larsson, the pair of mentors and apprentices have made each other each other, in the past, it is difficult to imagine a 26-year-old player in front of a 21-year-old manager, but the real story that happened to Millwall FC has been subverting tradition." ”

After the two embraced, Larsson collected his emotions and grinned at Aldrich: "Boss, I will show you today!" ”

Aldrich smirked, "Of course, that's what you have to do." ”

Larsson returned to the pitch to kick off, and before kicking the ball to Trezeguet, he turned around and yelled at his team-mates: "Millwall! ”

"Rush Rush!"

The teammates replied loudly with hideous faces!

Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool who put a bus in the early season meeting and let Millwall return with hatred at Anfield!

If Millwall had won that game, maybe they would have been in the following league. You won't run into so many opponents who are swinging buses.

But the truth is that they lost. Let other teams start learning Liverpool's winning tactics. Millwall's players don't hate anyone, and although sometimes they complain privately about how well they play, they hate themselves even more.

Why did you lose to Liverpool in the first place?

Underestimating the enemy, being careless, and being killed by Owen made a point, it's as simple as that.

They are always looking forward to the second leg clash with Liverpool.

Today, we have finally waited for this moment!

Millwall did their best, with no one missing from the starting line-up that won last season's treble. This is a very good phenomenon.

Liverpool's strategy today is almost the same as in the first leg, Evans is not slammed in the surprise world, the points are more realistic, although Liverpool is far from the leader Manchester United, but the realistic goal, there is still a lot of hope for the runner-up, so against a rival like Millwall, there is no room for error.

This extreme defensive counter-attacking tactic is difficult for any strong team, but Millwall has been mentally prepared. Coupled with the tactics they started practicing a few months ago, they are now at the stage where they can use them freely. Even though Liverpool were a midfield three, Millwall still firmly held the initiative, maximizing the use of space on the pitch to pass and cut together, while using each other's runs to cover other teammates and hide lethal attacking points.

The situation on the field is that Millwall is the main attack, Liverpool takes the initiative to defend, and directly looks for Owen in the front after switching from defense to attack.

The 18-year-old prodigy, England's golden boy Owen, has provoked Liverpool's attacking mainstay this season.

This season is very strange, the strikers of the strong teams almost do not have particularly outstanding players, Millwall is distracted in Europe, and the strikers score more average goals, so they do not have the top strikers in the scorer list, the same is true for Manchester United, Arsenal's forward combination goals are less than half of the team's goals, on the one hand, it shows that the strong teams are more flowering, on the other hand, it also reflects that the Premier League team pays more attention to defense than before, and takes special care of the stars who have become famous.

Like Owen, who shocked England at the beginning, is now ranked among the top three scorers, with a goal rate of about 0.5 goals per game, which means that he will score one goal in two games, which is not the efficiency of counting minutes in terms of 90 minutes, if that is calculated, his goal efficiency is even more amazing.

The last game was a penalty made by Owen, this game paid special attention to his marking, and Millwall sat on the advantage of the home field to wait for work, and the attacking line led by Nedved and Larsson after recuperating turned the Liverpool defense upside down!

Once the game started, Aldridge asked his players to pick up the pace, pick up the speed, pick up the speed and then maintain the pace of the game at a rate that a Millwall player would be able to achieve in normal training, and his team-mates were able to keep up with it, while Liverpool were always half a beat slower.

The players are highly focused, passing, running, and thinking about their next move before receiving the ball, whether it is passing, penetrating, or shooting.

As a result, the game was completely in Millwall's control, and Pirlo also took off his "asleep" coat today, although the area of activity was not large, but he was very active in organising, not only passing the ball accurately, but also directing Millwall's attacking direction was particularly threatening.

In less than half an hour of the game, Millwall had ten shots on goal, and although they did not score, they continued to undermine Liverpool's confidence.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0, but the Liverpool players were tired and out of breath, and they repeatedly defused the danger in front of goal, relying on desperate running and complementing each other with defenders, and it was a miracle that they were able to hold the goal.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Millwall maintained a high tempo, continued to press Liverpool's defence, and when the 70th minute of the game came, Liverpool finally couldn't stand it.

There was a hole in the backline, Shevchenko cut inside and did not choose to shoot but crossed, the front post was missed by Trezeguet, but Nedved surprisingly outflanked the back post and smashed the ball into the back of the net, and the Liverpool defenders, who were about to lie down, looked at each other and finally did not say a word of complaint to their teammates.

Who should be in charge of the marking?

In the face of a team like Millwall, which is interspersed with dazzling movements, it is impossible to find someone to mark a player full-time, can it still run around the front court with Nedved?

"Millwall's style of play is fantastic football from a neutral fan's point of view, but from the opposition's point of view. It's just horrible. They forced the opposition defence to be spaced wider by moving the ball laterally frequently. It is also possible to disconnect the forward line and the back line defense by attacking in depth. Andy, why can't Millwall consistently perform at such a level? ”

'The players, the 11 players are unique, Hall brings out the best in each of them, makes them a whole, like Andrea Pirlo, and he has no one to replace him, the attack. He passed the ball with two feet, but both balls have a very important role, the horizontal pass makes the Liverpool defense move laterally and there is a gap, after the ball is back at his feet, he goes straight through, a deep attack through the defense, if you look at these two balls individually, it seems that there are players of the level who can pass them, such as Ballack, his footwork is not accurate to pass the ball? No. Of course, but Barak can't replace Pirlo. The reason is that Ballack can't pass such a two-footed ball in a short period of time, not every striker can pass so accurately and calmly in the box like Shevchenko, Nedved runs in a wide range to interfere with defenders, and if he is not careful, he will complete a lethal forward goal, this group of players is unique, so Hall's team sometimes only changes two or three players, but the games played are completely different, and here's why. ”

Xiao Luo, who was sitting on the bench in this game, felt a great shock.

He felt strange in his heart, in the past, sitting in the stands in the VIP area to watch the game, although Millwall played very well, he could basically predict the trajectory of football development from a bird's-eye view, but today watching from the sidelines, it was completely different, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the players on the field, and couldn't guess where the ball would go, which direction, and development line.

Aldridge walked to the bench after the goal appeared and called Ronaldo to his side, Ronaldo thought he would be substituted, and he was overjoyed, but Aldridge said to him earnestly: "There will be a long time in the future, you will sit here and watch the game, but you can't just watch, you have to learn, you have to think." Look at how our two wingers and midfielders move, when they give their team-mates opportunities, when they become the killer again, Ronaldinho, in my plan, you are not a substitute for Nedved in the future, nor a pure winger substitute, if you want to be the main player, you have to learn to switch roles in the game. ”

Xiao Luo's excitement cooled down, nodded solemnly, and then sat down next to Aldrich and asked how to switch roles.

Aldridge patiently and in detail explained the performance of the players on the field to Ronaldo through the development of the game.

Ronaldo is a very well-rounded attacking player, he can do anything, he can break through, he can assist, he can score, and he can also organize attacks.

You can't ask him to be balanced, it's just going to make him mediocre.

Being fixed in one role will make his talent a waste.

Therefore, he must learn to play more calmly and wisely, not only to keep up with the rhythm of the team in Millwall's tactical system, but also to be able to integrate into the team, to play to his full strength, and also to improve the performance of his team-mates.

Ronaldo listened carefully to Aldrich, and during his days in London, the person he trusted most in his heart was Aldrich, and he respected and loved this young man who changed his life.

Liverpool conceded the goal, the conservative tactics fell short, their formation began to press forward, Millwall's high tempo still did not stop, in a wave of rapid counter-attacks, Larsson cut inside on the left and knocked the ball back, and the follow-up Nedved smashed the ball into the box again, and a heavy shot blasted the ball into the Liverpool door to seal the win.

The battle ended with Millwall's 2-0 home win over Liverpool.

Liverpool repeated the old trick but suffered a different result, not even the slightest chance, with this game, Millwall gave a strong response to the extreme defensive tactics!

If other teams still want to hold on, they will have to consider it and voluntarily give up control of the game to Millwall, which is very dangerous, and once a goal is scored, the situation will be completely passive.

Aldridge shook hands with Evans after the game and left the club in a hurry.

The Spice Girls' world tour is about to begin, Melanie has been given a few days off and will return to London in the evening, and Aldrich is going to greet her in person, after all, she hasn't seen her for a long time, and she is very worried. (To be continued......)
