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

Wembley, the green field is full of gunsmoke, Millwall and Bayern Munich are inseparable.

Heathfield sat in the dugout.

Bayern Munich are defensively dominant on the road, and there is no doubt that the team playing away from home in the first leg of the two-legged knockout round will not be too aggressive and risky, unless the suspense begins to disappear due to a change in the score within 90 minutes.

His Bayern Munich side did the same in the Bundesliga, so they conceded far fewer goals away from home than at home, which in turn made their home and away performances good, making the league title race an early and suspenseful place.

With five minutes left in the first half, Heathfield noticed that Millwall's attack was starting to change, with a quicker pace, easier handling of the ball, and a shot from the ground up when they had the chance.

In such a top-level contest of offense and defense, Millwall's attack group is actually very uncomfortable after the opening, like Xiao Luo, he used to be able to take the ball to do at least three actions, stop the ball, get rid of, pass, pass or sudden, he seems calm, but today, as long as he touches the ball, the opponent gives him very little space to make moves, and the slightest hesitation will be forced to be cornered, so he must be concise and fast when handling the ball, and think about the next development of the ball before receiving the ball.

After 40 minutes, Millwall began to dominate, and after getting familiar with Bayern Munich's defensive routines and rhythms, the players adjusted themselves to respond.

"At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0, although neither side scored. But it can't be denied that it was a first half with very high offensive and defensive quality. Especially the defense of both teams. Bayern Munich stifled Millwall's passing runs and individual play in positional battles, and they did a good job of this, especially Mateus, who almost made the ghostly Larsson and Thierry Henry feel desperate, and there were often moments of passing space, they ran out of the air, as long as they had the ball, it was a great opportunity, but Mateus always accurately intercepted the passing line or returned to the defense to block the opponent's attack in time. The all-round king of German football is respectful, Bayern Munich's counterattack after switching from defense to attack was also suppressed by Millwall's rapid counter-attack from the front, Nedved played a key role in suppressing Effenberg for the first time when he returned to the defense, Makelle and Pirlo sandwiched Basler to make Bayern Munich unable to dominate in the midfield, Elber and Yankel If they retreat deeper to get the ball, then they can't play speed when they develop into a positional battle, and they may be able to pass a player by individual breakthroughs alone, But the attack will always be disrupted by Millwall's combined defence. ”

Back in the dressing room, Aldridge looked at the sweaty players with his arms around his chest.

They wiped their sweat and whispered about the game in the first half. Larsson and Nedved exchanged ideas for running, and Schneider and Materazzi were reminding each other of Elber's marking. In the first half, Elber almost broke through the defense to form a one-on-one goal, but fortunately, Materazzi's long legs shoveled the ball out of bounds early.

When they were fully engaged in the game, they forgot about their surroundings, and after about three minutes, they were all stunned and turned to look at Aldrich.

At this time, it is time to listen to Aldrich's tactical adjustments, which are often the best magic weapon for them when they can't open the situation.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Aldrich smiled and asked softly, "Did you enjoy it?" ”

The players' expressions froze, and after ten seconds, Nedved suddenly smiled: "Enjoy! ”

The other players nodded their heads as well.

This kind of high-level competition is what they are looking for.

If the opponent is a fish belly, chopping melons and chopping vegetables to pour four or five balls into the opponent, even if it will make them happy, but it will only be happy for a while.

But when they met Bayern Munich, the first half of 45 minutes made them feel a sense of joy in their hearts against their opponents, and they trembled with excitement!

Failing to win Charlton at home is also a kind of slackness in their fighting spirit, slaughtering pigs and dogs every day, and when anyone will be interested in chatting, it is precisely because of the expectation of playing against Bayern Munich that they directly despise Charlton.

Aldridge is happy with the form of the players today, simple and committed.

There is only one thought in my mind, and that is to defeat my opponent.

He didn't make more adjustments, just asked them to play faster, run more flexibly, improve their self-confidence when seizing opportunities, sometimes shoot when they should shoot, don't think about it so much, if they deliberately pursue a smooth offensive coordination, if they have to pass three times and two downs, it is putting the cart before the horse.

As he walked out of the locker room, Klinsmann frowned and asked Aldrich, "Why don't you try to get them to play on one side?" We also have this part of the training. ”

If the attack up front is a five-man attacking group, with a back-to-back and two-sided defenders behind them, then Millwall must be more versatile in terms of style of play.

Therefore, in training, Aldridge will let them interpret the tactics of striking east and west to the extreme, the key point is Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo is on the left, then Henry and Nedved are also pressed to the left, the three of them attract each other's heavy troops to defend in a small area, and then suddenly transfer the ball to the right side, let Larsson come as a finisher, or Xiao Luo runs to the right side, let Nedved wait for the opportunity on the left side, Xiao Luo, Larsson, Henry force the right side, attract the defense and draw space for the left side, and then suddenly play the transfer threat ball.

This offensive routine is the focus of the next link, but in today's game, Aldridge did not dare to use it.

"It's too risky, if the timing of the player is not good enough, it will give Bayern Munich more chances on the counter-attack."

It's a matter of ability, the two are evenly matched, and once Millwall runs in a certain area when attacking, it will expose a very big gap when they are counterattacked, and then they will be caught by the opponent.

If you play a weak team, you can suppress the opponent by relying on your personal ability, and Xiao Luo can switch positions with Nedved in the middle of the side, but he is still not ready to change sides, and he needs more games to accumulate experience, improve his game reading ability and tactical literacy.

The two sides changed sides in the second half and Millwall's players did not get tired at all, when Aldridge asked that question at half-time. They completely lifted the pressure. Forget the utilitarian pursuit of two-legged knockout matches in home and away.

Enjoy?

Oh, yes. Being able to meet the strong Bayern Munich, such an opportunity, perhaps not necessarily many times in their long career, if not cherished, then will be regretted for life.

Unleash your energy and enjoy the game!

In the second half, the two sides continued to fight fiercely in the midfield, and you went back and forth to limit each other's attacks, and neither got a better chance.

When the 60th minute of the second half came. Aldrich gestured to Schneider and Zambrotta, and they understood.

The full-backs provide one-sided assists, and once one full-back assists up, Pirlo has to suppress the idea of inserting, while the full-back on the other side must be wary of defending.

The change quickly paid off.

Pirlo won the ball in midfield, Basler came up to force him, and Elber was rushing to try to steal from behind, Pirlo did not raise his eyelids, and he calmly kicked the ball to the right side of the ball with his elegant style of play, and Schneider strode forward. After receiving the ball, he went forward and went straight over the half-court.

Lizarazu retreats to defend the interior. Preventing Larsson from cutting inside, Effingberg stuck on Schneider's and Nedved's passing lanes.

Schneider dribbled the ball all the way forward, and when he came to the front forty yards of the penalty area, Larsson retreated to respond, Schneider played a match with him, Henry also pulled out, Lizarazu saw the opportunity to cut off Schneider's foot, but Schneider continued to kick the wall with Henry, he pulled to the side to receive the ball, and observed a cross.

This cross doesn't look reliable!

The ball didn't fly into the box at all, but went sideways in front of the box, and landed right in front of the middle of Babbel and Kufuor, who were a little mistaken and were both eyeing Ronaldo.

Mateus and Link added Lizarazu on the other flank, and the trio guarded against Larsson and Henry's inward cut.

Jeremes didn't expect Schneider's cross to hit the penalty area, but went directly over his head, and when he turned his head to chase again, the roar of Tiger Effenberg was already ringing in his ears.

"Guard against him!"

Effenberg's original position was stuck between Nedved and Schneider, which was to prevent the opponent's ground pass, but Schneider's cross hit the ball to the side behind him, and he went to Nedved for the first time, but the opponent started faster than him, and obviously grabbed the landing spot.

Seeing that he couldn't get the spot, Jeremes was consciously wary of Nedved's breakthrough or pass after stopping the ball.

But the steel giant Nedved ran forward, the ball landed on his step, the run was just right forward, he didn't wait for the ball to land, he stood on his feet, met the ball and shot angrily!

Karn's scalp was numb, Kufuor and Jeremath just blocked his vision, and when he saw the ball, his pupils shrank, and he moved two steps to the left and then jumped, his whole body opened to the limit, and his left hand tried to keep the ball out, it looked like he was trying to touch the limit of the sky!

The moment Nedved finished his shot, his determined eyes lit up.

When the ball flew up in the air from Schneider, the Lions fans in the stands were a little disappointed, thinking that Schneider's cross had been wrong.

However, on the trajectory of the ball, Nedved slapped the horse, did not give Effenberg and Jeremes any chance, he shot the ball with great momentum, in the blink of an eye it seemed to rise to the sky, but after flying up and falling rapidly, the parabolic trajectory is not only obvious, but also wonderful, no matter how skilled the artist is, he can not depict this exaggerated to the extreme rise and fall after the perfect parabola!

Aldridge stared at the sidelines, the picture at the far end seemed to enter slow motion, he seemed to be able to see Kahn saving to the extreme, his left hand and the upper left corner of the door frame were only 20 centimeters away, the lion king Kahn roared fiercely, the momentum was incomparable, but the ball just slipped on his fingertips and hit the corner of the goal!

Wembley was like being detonated by an atomic bomb, and 90% of the spectators in the packed stands were Lions fans, who witnessed this kick that was enough to enter the classic goal, and the crowd stood up and cheered excitedly, and the blue sea in the stands was boiling!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Super World Wave, Super World Wave! Millwall blasted the door open for Bayern Munich, and Nedved defeated Kahn, the new main goalkeeper of the German national team! The effect of this volley is like a meteor falling to the earth in space! Even for the first second you think the ball will fly into the stands, but the ball will fly down halfway and go straight to the corner of the goal! Millwall leads Bayern Munich 1-0! ”

After scoring the goal, Nedved clenched his hands into fists and spread his arms in excitement as he ran towards the corner flag and kept waving his fists at the fans in the stands.

The other teammates rushed around him and roared together.

They share the same believing: to beat Bayern Munich, step into the Camp Nou and defend the European Cup! (To be continued......)
