690 Technical and tactical suppression
Millwall's entire team landed in Japan, setting off a football frenzy more fierce than before, for no other reason, the South Korea-Japan World Cup has entered the countdown, on December 1, in Busan, South Korea, the World Cup group draw ceremony will be held.
In addition to all the members of the first team, Millwall also included three young players who were temporarily recruited into the first team. This year's Toyota Cup final was held in Yokohama, and Aldrich led the team to the hotel near the Yokohama International Stadium.
There is still half a year to go before the World Cup, and Aldridge needs to give the players plenty of rest time during the season, so this season's activities outside of Qiē Athletic can be waived.
At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge was asked a headache by Asian reporters.
"Mr. Hall, Millwall does not have the names of Southgate, Larsson, and Nedved in the 23-man squad for the Toyota Cup submitted this time, why is that?"
"Because there aren't enough places."
"How many places do you need for a final? Why did they come to Japan when they weren't on the list? ”
"Because we're a united team."
"Will you attend the draw for the World Cup in South Korea in four days?"
"No, I'm going to lead the team to the league against Manchester United."
Asian journalists felt a little lost.
The World Cup, a global football feast, Aldridge is a famous young coach in Europe, even if it is the draw ceremony, his absence is regrettable.
The FA also hopes that Aldridge can be included in the draw delegation, a bit like an image ambassador, and the PR and diplomatic cheer is popular.
However, Aldridge had little interest in the draw ceremony, and besides, he returned to London after playing the Toyota Cup. When it comes to playing Manchester United, Arsenal and the East London derby, his job is not easy, and there is always one thing he dare not leave behind.
The club is his foundation, and if he despises the work of the club for the sake of the national team, it is easy to deviate from people's hearts.
Coincidentally. Millwall defended their Champions League title in Europe, while Boca Juniors also defended their Copa Libertadores title in South America at the same time.
Millwall, following last year's clash with Boca Juniors, will see the two teams meet again in the Toyota Cup this year!
There will be another battle between the young marshal Aldrich and the governor Bianchi.
In this Toyota Cup, Aldridge plans to use a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup to face Boca Juniors.
Today, the Toyota Cup is a game where the glory is greater than the actual benefits, and Millwall does not need to be overly concerned about the outcome of the victory. Even the style of football doesn't have to be deliberately shown to the world.
Just like they beat Juventus in the Champions League with their substitute line-up, no one will lash out after the game for Millwall playing conservatively, anti-football, or treating the game negatively, etc., because the impression of Millwall's attacking football has been ingrained in the outside world, with occasional changes. Instead, it will give the team extra points because they know how to be flexible, especially if they win games.
The tacit understanding between the main team and the substitutes may not be too much of a problem, but the young men who want to join the youth team have obvious run-in problems, so in the preparation, Aldridge's tactical options are also very limited and there is no tacit understanding. There is no such thing as a brilliant teamwork, and you can only adopt simple and uncomplicated tactics.
On the day of the game, Yokohama International Stadium.
Aldridge shook hands with Bianchi before the game, giving Bianchi a defeat last year, and today the opponent came here with the idea of revenge.
By coincidence, thanks to God's arrangement, Boca Youth can be given a chance to take revenge.
Aldrich, on the other hand, is calm and natural. Judging from Bianchi's pre-match remarks, the other party seems to have an obsession with revenge.
He is accustomed to it, making enemies on all sides of Europe, and now he meets a wealthy family. Didn't the other party shout for revenge?
Japanese fans were disappointed today.
Millwall's big-name stars, three of them are suits and leather shoes like staff sitting on the bench, Southgate, Larsson, Nedved who did not enter the game squad Although the three came here to participate in training, but the game is not on, they don't care, the Toyota Cup has won two, this chicken champion, it doesn't matter if you want to, vacate the place for your teammates, it looks high.
The other main players, the handsome little Andrea Pirlo are also on the bench, Ronaldo, Henry, and even Klose are not.
Millwall hit 4231 today.
Goalkeeper: Pagliuca.
Defenders: Neil, Materazzi, Metzelde, Zambrotta.
Defenders: Alonso, Gattuso.
Midfielders: Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Franck Ribery.
Forward: Villa.
This is a set of tactics based on tough defense and counterattacking.
On the side of Boca Juniors, Riquelme, the biggest star player played last year, is still in the team, and Palermo is not in the team, but there is still a newcomer on the front line, the beast Tevez.
Ronaldo, who appeared last year, is full of confidence today, and it can be seen from the type that he has smeared a lot of glue, and his head is like a hedgehog's thorn erected on the top of his head, and he is full of solemnity and chest when he appears.
Millwall's attacking combination draw is less than 2o years old, Boca Juniors said that the enemy is careless, with the lessons of last year's defeat, how can not be taken lightly today, so from the start of the game, Boca Juniors' posture is balanced, the defense is even, and the attack does not dare to press rashly.
Playing Boca Juniors, Aldridge's pre-match requirements are still the same as last year.
Stare Riquelme to death.
The classical striker shines in South America, but unfortunately the frequency is too slow, and in terms of skill alone, he can compete with Zidane, but under the tacit close pressing of Gattuso and Alonso, he even has a pitiful number of balls.
Bianchi looked blank on the sidelines.
What's going on?
Last year it was Riquelme who was frozen, and this year is this familiar rhythm again?
The second time the same thing happens, it is certainly not accidental.
It's not that Riquelme didn't do his best, or that the opponent suddenly restrained tactically, there is only one answer, Millwall's focused marking and defensive strategy worked.
This is an era when the classical midfielder is dying out in Europe, and one after another classical midfielder is disappearing, or moving away from Europe, even if there are still players with such characteristics in the future. However, it also had to change the style of play and position, redefined, and the era of the former mainstream European forward midfield organization has come to the end of the era.
In addition to the intensity and pace of play, the type of players is also important.
For example, Millwall now has an all-round type of Alonso in the midfield, Kaka in front of him who can act as a shadow striker, and the comprehensive tactical value of the classical forward midfield, facing these two types of players. It's hard to say that there are clear advantages.
The almost negligible defensive ability of the classical forward and the weakness of the slow degree are a big hidden danger for the team, and therefore, the French team needs to put a double back behind Zidane to escort the team's defense.
Another fatal reason was evident in today's game: relying on a single core and lacking a variety of options!
Riquelme was restrained on the pitch and Boca Juniors' attack was completely paralyzed. The single attacking core is not to say that in the future of football, even in contemporary football, it has begun to fall behind.
In terms of overall strength, Millwall is still stronger than Boca Juniors, but in today's game, Millwall defeated Boca Juniors overwhelmingly with technical and tactical strength.
In the first 30 minutes, Millwall's attack was biased to the right, with Neil and Ribery playing well on the right. But there was only one point in the box, and Kaka couldn't do it like Nedved or Klose as a shadow striker, and he was caught off guard when he got into the box and hit the opponent off guard.
Ronaldo is also still immature, and the current Ronaldo is only a supporting role for the team on the side, and he belongs to the role of delivering cannonballs to the striker in a decent manner, but he likes to show off his skills at his feet.
As soon as the 3o minutes passed, Millwall shifted to the left and Ronaldo cut into the box. Alonso unexpectedly went up, received Kaka's pass and went straight, Ronaldo got the ball and shot at goal, which was a semi-one-shot goal, but Ronaldo played too positively, was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Villa scored with a clever follow-up shot. And so it took the lead.
After Millwall's goal, Aldridge called Franck Ribery and Cristiano Ronaldo in front of him and told them to change their style of play, or rather let them unleash themselves. Don't stick to the rules just because you're young.
In the following period, even though Ribery and Ronaldo's breakthrough ability was only average, they disrupted Boca Juniors' defensive system by dribbling with a clear dribbling route.
The corridor in front of the penalty area for the modern winger!
As long as the two have the ball and never go down, they go to the middle, and in the process of dribbling, they cause chaos in Boca Juniors' defensive system.
Why does Robben frequently play the good play of cutting inside and shooting from distance in front of the penalty area?
In addition to his personal ability, this modern winger's dribbling route itself will create a temporary chaos for the opponent's backline, originally the full-back was following the defense, but the target ran to the middle, to the front of the central defender, the back of the zone, but the central defender and the back may have their own marking tasks, whether to abandon the defensive target, that is, to continue to insist on marking defense, or to use zone defense?
There is a conflict between both, man-to-man defense, choose one of the two, put one, zone defense, in this area, there is a disadvantage in numbers, and it is impossible to cover everything.
This is where the power of the modern winger lies, not just to change the course of the ball, the opponent seems to have a great reduction in defensive ability, in essence, the opponent can not adjust the defensive rhythm in a short period of time, seize the opportunity to create a huge threat.
In this way, the two modern wingers frequently create confusion in the opponent's defense, and even though it is impossible to stage a good show of going into Longtan alone, the opportunities are like creating more opportunities.
Ribery and Ronaldo only need to dribble across the middle to the penalty area, and the opponent has a defender to defend it, and the area behind the defender is empty, and Kaka can play the role of a shadow striker.
In the 4o minute of the game, it was such a routine, Kaka entered the penalty area after Ronaldo took the ball to the middle, Ronaldo split the ball Kaka got a half-single chance, and when another defender came to help the defense, he knocked on the other side, and Villa, who was already unmarked, easily pushed and scored to expand the score to 2:O.
Bianchi was stunned on the sidelines.
He was reluctant to lose last year, as Millwall used defensive counter-attacks to crush Boca Juniors.
Although Millwall put on an anti-counter-attack formation today, in the case that Boca Juniors did not overly invest in the attack, Millwall's attack was not an excellent counterattack opportunity, biased towards positional warfare, and obviously did not have an advantage in numbers.
Millwall were able to penetrate the Boca Juniors' defence with advanced techniques and tactics, and as for whether there was a chance to counter-attack, it was secondary.
Bianchi looked at Aldrich next door, and a chill rose in his heart.
Millwall limited Boca Juniors' attack and was able to penetrate Boca Juniors' defence.
If Millwall is to send all the main players to play, this game may not be even more suspenseful!
