Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

At the beginning of the game, the pace was not fast, and both sides needed to adapt to the slippery field to ensure the success rate of passing and receiving, but someone seemed to be playing chicken blood today!

Arsenal was pressed in the opening ten minutes and could only retreat in the half, Ovimars and Pire both came back to participate in the defense, the most tragic is Overmars, he did not come back, Dixon was completely blown up and could not find the north.

In the 11th minute of the game, Arsenal cleared the ball in the backfield, and directly turned around with the ball after grabbing the chest of Ibrahimovic who grabbed the drop point in front of the center circle, and Makelle ran from behind to seal his forward route, Materazzi himself was against Ibrahimovic, but Ibrahimovic was retreating to get the ball, and after turning around, Materazzi and Makelele had a good tacit understanding, he was closest to Ibrahimovic, directly as the first interception line, and forced Ibrahimovic to move to the other side if he wanted to pass, and he would fall into the interception circle of Southgate and Makelele, Zambrotta has been keeping an eye on Bergkamp's movement, and unless Arsenal are not in a hurry and slow down to reorganise their attack, they are now sure to neutralise the opposition's fast attack.

Ibrahimovic chose to be sudden, although the skills under his feet have not yet been completed, but in the Premier League, which is an acre of three-point land, it can also be associated with the word delicate.

Materazzi is tragic.

He put the shovel from a slightly oblique place in the front, and he will definitely not foul, Ibrahimovic wants to dodge, then he will definitely be intercepted by Makelele, Ibrahimovic did not dodge, but took a bigger step with the ball, and the result was the same, Makelele took the ball halfway.

Materazzi didn't get up, the turf was slippery, and he put a shovel in his usual way. But it slipped at the moment of getting off his feet. Thigh muscle strain!

Makelele kicked the ball off the sideline of the opposition half. Then Millwall's team doctor came in.

Aldridge was holding his head on the sidelines, and it felt incredible.

Malegobi.

Does Ibrahimovic, a black belt in taekwondo, have a lethality bonus?

The fight was injured, we had to take it, and he was a master of black belts.

But Ibrahimovic took a step with the ball, and an ordinary tackle with little pressure can make Materazzi hurt himself, is it a bad year? It's still a mismatch!

Aldrich called Jack-of-all-trades Neil up and told him to warm up.

'Oh, Millwall have to make a passive substitution and Materazzi is out injured. Maybe it's because of the venue, I don't know if this substitution will have a fatal impact on Millwall, from a physical point of view, Materazzi is absolutely no problem defending Ibrahimovic, Neal can suppress Ibrahimovic's play, we can only observe from the game. ”

Before bringing on Neil, Aldridge put his arm around him and said to him: "Don't dwell on one-on-one with him, watch your teammates' positions more, and don't blindly push with your feet." As long as you don't break through head-on by him, it's not hard to freeze him. ”

Neil nodded frequently. In fact, Ibrahimovic is younger than him, but he looks tall, tall, long-legged and thin-footed, and he can neither underestimate the opponent's ability nor ignore the opponent's natural advantages, so Aldridge must solemnly remind Neil.

In fact, Neil's replacement of Materazzi did not have much impact on Millwall, because on the field, as both teams adapted to the rain battle, Millwall had the advantage of being at home and played significantly better than Arsenal, plus the team's combat strength was stronger than Arsenal's, and they have been suppressing the opponent with attack.

Ronaldo ravaged Dixon five times, one-on-one is very exciting, it can also be called a complete victory, but this partial victory did not help the team knock on the door of victory.

Aldridge gestured to Ronaldo on the sidelines to stop being overly tormented.

Originally, in his prediction, the defeat of Dixon, then the double central defenders should tend to focus on Dixon's side, and the defense on the other side will naturally be exposed.

But today Overmars retreated very deep to help Dixon defend, which made Ronaldo's play wonderful, but not very effective.

Millwall began to switch positions, with the attacking cross-cutting movement and the central forward trident dazzling and unpredictable movement.

Xiao Luo made another feint in front of Dixon, the opponent was like a ghost, subconsciously retreated and contracted, as a result, Xiao Luo handed the ball to Nedved, Nedved did not run to the penalty area with the ball, but ran and crossed with Xiao Luo, and handed the ball to Xiao Luo at the same time as changing positions, Vieira was confused in this cross change, just passed by Xiao Luo, and the ball was changed to the feet of Xiao Luo behind Vieira.

Larsson and Henry also completed the exchange at the same time, Xiao Luo handed the ball to Henry, who was completely unmarked on the right side, Silvinho subconsciously went to follow Larsson, Henry ran over and there was a large gap, after taking the ball, Henry shot directly with his feet.

Seaman held the ball firmly this time and launched a counterattack!

Arsene Wenger's eyes suddenly lit up on the sidelines.

Golden opportunity!

Millwall's attacking players have just completed the change, and now almost no one is in their own position, at this time to launch a counterattack, Millwall can not build the first line of defense in the front of the counterattack!

However, in the next second, Wenger was full of surprise!

That's right, Nedved on the left wing, Ronaldo up front, Larsson in the centre, Thierry Henry on the right, and none of them were in the area of activity when they started.

However, when Arsenal began to counterattack, the four did not hesitate at all, fully entered the role of the area they were in, and went straight back to defend.

Larsson and Ronaldo interfered with the opposing midfielders Patrick Vieira and Petit, and Thierry Henry and Nedved chased after Ovimars and Pire, without the slightest sense of stagnation, and the overall defense did not show a trace of panic.

Arsenal's counter-attack came to an abrupt halt when Overmars transitioned the ball down the middle.

Bergkamp was prejudged by Andrea Pirlo before he got the ball, and he tackled the counter-attack.

Arsene Wenger is unbelievable, it is normal for defenders to chase back and do defensive running in a straight line, straight line is close, very simple knowledge.

But the most important thing is that each player needs to know who they are going to be responsible for marking and where the area they are occupying is. And where is the effective location of the interception route. Suppose two people are targeting the same opponent. If you crash into a car, then there will be a leakage.

Millwall was beaten and counterattacked after completing the offensive position, and the offensive players in the front court were still thinking so clearly when defending!

Aldridge, what a perverted team you have tuned!

This is already a shadow of a team that once went down in history!

"Unbelievable, Andy, before that, Millwall was against opponents with a big gap in strength, today. They ran into Arsenal and we saw their almost impeccable defence, impressive. ”

"If you analyze it from a tactical point of view, Millwall's frontcourt defense is that 99.9% of teams can't do all the offense and defense! In the case of Ronaldinho, when attacking, he is a winger on the left side, he moves to the middle and switches positions with Nedved, he is the striker, and at the same time Nedved has to play a winger role, and when defending. Ronaldinho was supposed to be in charge of marking or assisting Zambrotta to strengthen the left flank, but he was in the midfield position. He didn't chase Overmars, but went to defend Petit who was in front, that was the person Nedved should be marking, and in the same way, the person Nedved went to mark became Overmars, such a defense itself sounds very simple in theory, but when multiple players change positions and appear in a new position, once a player fails to stay awake when defending, and stares at the opponent who should be marked in his original position, then he will find obvious gaps in the opponent's attack, Millwall did a great job, They succeeded in limiting Arsenal's counter-attack, Ovemas had Zambrotta in front of him and Nedved in the back, he didn't choose to break through, and he didn't want the attack to become a positional battle, so he could only pass the ball forward, there was no point in the middle, Vieira and Petit were marked by Larsson and Ronaldinho in front of him, he chose to pass to Bergkamp, Pirlo stealed, and the Arsenal counterattack ended. ”

'To do that, you need a very high level of tactical literacy and game reading, and Millwall can limit the quick counter-attacks that Arsenal rely on to such an extent that Hall has a terrible team.

"As Michels, the father of all-offense and all-defense, said, to play the true power of all-offense and all-defense, you need at least 7 world-class players, for the time being, Hall did not pursue the ideal all-offense and all-defense, he only let the four players at the top of the frontcourt attack to implement such a tactical concept, starting from Pirlo to the back of the line is not daring to move, and I think, this kind of crazy tactics to be combined with reality, you can't ask the whole team to implement such a concept, the defender and the forward can change positions, the forward can also complete the defensive task of the defender, It's only idealistic, and Hall is realistic, so he's looking for a balance, a balance that will make the offense more powerful than it might be in the assessment, and the defense will be more solid, and maybe he's found that balance now. ”

In the bleak wind and cold rain, there were water droplets on Wenger's face, and he didn't know if it was cold sweat or rain.

The situation on the field made him feel suffocated.

Arsenal's invincible and fast counterattack in the Premier League, three times in a row, was perfectly limited by Millwall in midfield!

He also saw that Millwall's high-pressure pressing tactics, the most critical defensive area is the midfield, once the midfield is penetrated, there is a flat horse behind it!

Arsenal had fast horses, but Overmars dropped back deeper because he was pressed down from the wings, and the starting position on the counter-attack was too far back to play with speed.

Further back, Bergkamp, Ibrahimovic, Pire, it can't be said that there is no speed, but there is no speed advantage!

Arsenal's players were also feeling the pressure, so they picked up the tempo on the counter-attack, sprinting faster and delivering the ball faster in an effort to get through Millwall in midfield.

But on the football field, the pursuit of speed is often accompanied by another problem: mistakes!

Pire won the ball on the left flank and tried to pass it over the top to Ibrahimovic without waiting for Schneider to press, but the ball was not passed well and was intercepted by Neil directly in the middle of the game, and he jumped up and headed the ball forward.

Patrick Vieira ran too fast and Pirlo didn't run as fast as Vieira, but as soon as he turned and ran forward again, he got the ball, and then split it up on the right flank, behind Pire, and now Ronaldo was there.

Ronaldo played a one-two with Nedved without stopping the ball, shook off Petit's defense, and then faced his fellow countryman Silvinho directly feigned and shook the opponent with the ball to the bottom, bringing the entire Arsenal defense to the bottom line, and he crossed again.

The ball flew over the heads of the Arsenal defenders, as well as over Thierry Henry and the rushing Nedved.

How did this ball pass?

How do you fly from Arsenal's bottom line to the outside of the box?

Just off the left flank, near the top corner of the box, Larsson stood on his supporting foot, picked up his right foot, and volleyed into the falling ball!

"Larsson's volley from outside the box! The ball is in! Larson, Larson, Larson! Millwall's super goalscorer Larson! ”

The powerful shot of the ball without any spin and flashed into the top left corner of the Arsenal goal, leaving Seaman unmoved. (To be continued......)
