492 Dominate the crowd

At half-time, Aldridge's request to the players was just a move-and-shoot countermeasure.

But in the second half, Millwall's seemingly blind clearance worked wonders.

This kind of miracle effect is not a big foot of the defender, Henry in the front court becomes a single knife as soon as he gets the ball, in that case, Real Madrid will not be able to reach the semi-finals.

After regrouping the attack after three consecutive clearances to the back of the pitch and being controlled by Real Madrid, Aldridge watched the whole process from the sidelines and found a message that surprised him.

After Real Madrid reorganized the attack from the back, it suddenly became difficult, and the attack could not guarantee fluidity!

Aldrich instantly understood the mystery of this.

When attacking in positional warfare, Real Madrid's players, double strikers Anelka, Morientes, false fullback Raul, McManaman, these four are forward, often they move inside and outside the danger zone of the penalty area, Carlos and Salgado also assist, Redondo in the middle forward to organize or respond, in a wave of forward positional warfare offensive, due to the large number of Real Madrid attackers, so, they have a lot of contact points, can make the offensive move forward smoothly.

The key link was the last blow, which was destroyed by Millwall in the penalty area, and then, Millwall's defender cleared the ball and flew to the back of Real Madrid.

Elgra is a midfielder when attacking at Real Madrid, and he can usually grab the spot, control the ball and then reorganize the attack.

At this time, the problem of Real Madrid arises!

Those players who have already run to the front, if they can't be withdrawn together, can become the point of contact, and play the role of tandem attack. Then Real Madrid's attack is disjointed. There are a lot of people in the front court. There are few people in the midfield, and there is a lack of options for the route of the ball.

Another important reason for this phenomenon is the ability of Millwall players to run off the ball, defensive tactical awareness and discipline, they immediately redeploy the defender after the ball is cleared, and the players quickly return to their area of responsibility, forming a joint defense with their teammates, layer by layer. Cut Real Madrid's attacking formation, and then completely stare the Real Madrid players who did not retreat to respond.

This is where Aldridge tirelessly instills in his players the problem of concealment in attacking points, as well as the awareness of running without the ball and receiving the ball in training.

The first wave of Real Madrid's frontal attack threatens the unpredictability of the players' movement as they advance from the midfield, you can't predict whether Carlos will pull down the side or cut inside to finish a shot, or completely freeze an opponent in a full-throttle sprint that might change direction in the running lane.

But after the first wave of the offensive was contained, the Real Madrid attacking players did not immediately withdraw from the attack, and when they re-completed the "back to front" shock attack, they fell into the chain defensive network woven by Millwall, and the attack fell into a quagmire.

In the 58th minute, Real Madrid once again reorganized the offensive from the back. Redondo returned to midfield to pick him up, and Ronaldo was harassing him. He chose to pass to Raul, but the shot was fully anticipated by Millwall's players, with Pirlo stopping the ball halfway through the game and then launching a quick counter-attack on the spot.

Pirlo, Nedved, Lampard, Ronaldo, after three passes, the ball came to the feet of Ronaldo, at this time he had already killed in the penalty area of Real Madrid, he and Nedved made a one-two combination and then dribbled the ball down, in front of the baseline to push the ball horizontally to the penalty spot in the triangle penalty area.

Henry pressed the goal and suddenly retreated, waiting for Xiao Luo's pass, in front of Campo, Henry actually calmly smashed the ball and shook the opponent after getting the ball, Campo lost his center of gravity, Henry and Xiao Luo opened the scoring in the first half of the shooting position is almost the same, but he is more decisive than Xiao Luo, did not shake the goalkeeper, directly pumped hard.

Casillas felt a whistle in his ear, and the ball flew past his head and into the goal.

"At 2:3, Henry scored, and the scorer opened up the gap with Raul in the Champions League scorer list, and he scored one more goals than Raul! Real Madrid's goal was due to Redondo's passing error, and we also saw the tacit understanding of Millwall's attacking players when they counterattacked, and only such a tacit understanding can play such a smooth, fast and efficient team cooperation! What to do with Real Madrid? The Bernabeu has fallen into silence, many fans in the stands shook their heads, unable to understand the team's performance, why did they fail to score in the second half, but conceded again! ”

As Thierry Henry celebrated with his team-mates on the sidelines, live footage caught Aldridge grabbing a Millwall substitute and calling the player in the face.

"It's strange that Hall's team has just taken the lead over Real Madrid again, but he is ready to bring on a striker, is he still not thinking that the 3-2 advantage is enough?"

The man who was pulled by Aldridge's side to assign the task of playing was Klose.

When Aldridge spotted Real Madrid's weakness in organising the attack from back to front, he immediately asked Klose to warm up.

It has nothing to do with whether Henry scored or not, it can only be said that Henry's goal time coincided with the time Aldridge was ready to make a substitution, around 60 minutes.

Real Madrid fans watched in disbelief at the Bernabeu as Aldridge personally walked to the sidelines to watch substitute Klose come on.

One striker, one midfielder!

Real Madrid fans have not seen the opponent make substitutions, but when they come to the Bernabeu to take the lead, they change strikers to continue to strengthen the attack and weaken the defense, which is very rare.

Thierry Henry's goal put Real Madrid in a corner, while Aldridge's substitution pushed Bosque to the brink.

Take a look.

Millwall added a striker and removed a midfielder.

What about Real Madrid?

When it was necessary to score, Bosque did not dare to move.

At least in theory, with Millwall missing a midfielder, there would be less defensive pressure on Real Madrid's attack.

If Bosque wants to move, then he can only maintain enough offensive pressure on the substitutions.

Klose replaced Frank Lampard, and Aldridge slapped Lampard the sidelines, pleased with the youngster's performance today.

Frank Lampard himself was a bit of a self-reproach. He felt that he was still a little inconsistent on the field. Energetic, sometimes it's a blind run. The effort was not used in the right place, and the first goal conceded by the team, he did not interfere with Carlos's long-range shot, nor assisted Makelele to block Raul, which made him realize that he still had a lot to lose.

Klose came on and Aldridge made a few gestures on the sidelines, when Real Madrid had not yet kicked off, and the players could calm down to understand Aldridge's adjustment.

The Wild Lion changes formation.

From 4321 to 4231. Or rather, 433.

Claude Makelle and Andrea Pirlo are two midfielders, one intercepting and the other dragging.

Nedved is a central midfielder, but since he's a perpetual motion midfielder who can't run and B2B is perfectly fine, he doesn't really have a specific position, the key is where he appears when he is needed at both ends of the pitch.

Ronaldo left winger, Klose in the centre, Thierry Henry on the right.

The game has come to this moment. Real Madrid has to break down!

However, due to the formation of their formations and the individual areas of activity of the players. Even if Millwall removes a midfielder, at least the defense in the middle will not be a problem, and from this moment on, Aldridge wants to take control of the game from Real Madrid, he wants to let Millwall control the whole situation and dominate at the Bernabeu!

It's a very different situation now than it was at the beginning, especially the mentality of the Real Madrid players has changed dramatically, and the numbers on the scoreboard are haunting their minds like a nightmare.

Real Madrid launched an attack immediately after kick-off, and the wing is their world, after all, their wide players are strong, this is a fact, but the relative emptiness of the middle is the biggest hole in their defense.

Real Madrid's attack then showed a regular picture.

They were able to push their attacks down the flanks of Millwall's penalty area and then, whether it was penetrating through balls, individual breakaways or crosses, there was a limit to what they could do, and Millwall compressed their defensive zone to deny room for the opposition to play.

After Millwall's successful defence, they immediately formed a huge pressing advantage in midfield.

The key figure at this time became Makelele.

When Real Madrid switched from attacking to defending, the attacking players in the front court will immediately limit Pirlo, stifling the most offensive creativity of Millwall's midfield.

But Makelele's technical ability is not a pure defensive player, he is just because he does his job well, and the opponent despises Pirlo at the stage of Pirlo's rise, resulting in Pirlo has a lot of room for free play, and Cirlele is naturally overshadowed by Pirlo's offensive talent.

When the Real Madrid players surrounded Pirlo like a pack of wolves, Makelele stepped up, and Pirlo wittily covered Makelele through his runs, allowing Makelele to calmly become a key link between the front and back.

When the ball moves from the back to the front, Millwall's attacking dominance is on full display.

Klose also comes on the field with tactical instructions and tasks, and he needs to do a good job in the center forward position.

He covered Thierry Henry, who had been moved to play as a winger, which was not a regular tactic and a requirement, but it was something that Klose had to do under today's exceptional circumstances.

Because, Henry's advantage is too great, and when Carlos assists and can't come back, Henry is completely free on the right side.

In the 76th minute, Millwall's attack was full of twists and turns, and Ronaldo replicated the process of scoring in the first half, cutting inside and kicking the wall in front of Klose before smashing into the box, but this time his shot was denied by Casillas.

Nedved, who was on track, fired another long-range shot that was blocked by Karanka with his body.

By this time, Real Madrid's attacking players had withdrawn and found that the team had successfully defended, Elgra took the ball and passed it forward, so everyone began to run forward again, and the ball was cut off by McManaman's feet, who then passed straight to Nedved.

Nedved got the ball and turned around, swept the situation in front of him, and directly kicked the through ball on the right side of the penalty area.

Carlos ran up again, and Henry was three meters away from him, but Carlos had to stop and turn back and chase again, which obviously made it impossible to catch up with Henry, who started the sprint before him without the ball.

Thierry Henry cut inside from the right and fired a low shot into the far corner, and Casillas fell to the ground a step too slow to watch in horror at the ball that flew towards the goal from his right.

The audience saw it more clearly, this goal can't be scored!

Henry's angle is not good enough.

However, when the ball slid past the back of goal, someone arrived just in time to send the ball into the empty net.

"Ronaldinho scored twice! He scored twice at the Bernabeu! 2:4, Real Madrid trailed Millwall by two goals, and Millwall played more tactically targeted in the second half, which made their number of shots and threats far exceed Real Madrid in the past 15 minutes, and Ronaldinho turned their advantage into a victory! If it had finished with this scoreline, Millwall would have stepped into the Champions League final with one foot! (To be continued......)
