The unsmiling Capello arrived in London with mixed feelings when he led Juventus.[][]..[]
The reason for the joy is that in last weekend's Serie A Battle of Heavenly Kings, he led Juventus to beat AC Milan at San Siro and scored an immeasurable 3 points in the championship! As a result, he led AC Milan in the standings.
The worrying thing is that Millwall has won the championship ahead of schedule. Last weekend, the main players rested and recuperated to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Juventus visited as a guest to work on the expedition. The right time, place and people, they seemed to be immune to everything!
But no matter what, Capello still has high hopes from the Italian media!
Because the other semi-final is a battle between AC Milan and PSV. If AC Milan and Juventus both advance to the final, then the Champions League final will be a showdown between Serie A giants.
Aldridge looked relaxed when attending the press conference before the UEFA Champions League. Many media reporters in the audience were asking about Millwall's preparations for this game. Aldridge simply said: "It's in front of us.
The choice is simple: attack, score goals, beat the opponent! Only in this way can we advance to the final and strive to successfully defend the Champions League again."
The score in the first round of the semi-finals was 0:0, which made the situation in the second round very delicate. If Juventus wants to advance, if they do not play a penalty shootout, then they will definitely have to score, but Millwall may not only have to
In terms of goals, if they score the same number of goals as Juventus, Millwall will be eliminated. Therefore, in terms of score situation, Millwall does not necessarily have an advantage, but external factors, home advantage, stadium atmosphere, preparation environment, etc.
In all aspects, Millwall must have an absolute advantage!
Crazy Lions fans restrained the ease of watching games in the league. When Juventus came to the Lion King Stadium as a guest to make their debut, there were 60,000 spectators, including 50,000 home team fans, who burst into cheers and cheers, which really made the Bianconeri feel
Terrible pressure!
This kind of pressure can make people feel suffocated, like a beast trapped in a cage. It will gradually lose its wildness, lose its energy, and become docile and dare not resist.
Aldridge officially shook hands with Capello for the second time. To be honest, he didn't do much research on Juventus because Juventus is too stable!
Capello's conservatism makes him rarely take risks or use surprise players. In addition, Juventus's lineup is also top-notch in Europe. In the environment of Serie A, a conservative Capello can lead a utilitarian and even a lot of success.
Fans denounced Juventus as ugly, and playing weak teams is simply cutting vegetables. However, it is difficult to play a highlight game in the European competition. If the opponents they encountered on the way to promotion were not strong, it would be difficult for them to reach the semi-finals.
Aldrich studied his opponent, and what he feared most was that the opponent would use some unexpected methods on him, so when Stramaccioni handed him a document with a small amount of information, he flipped through it.
After that, his mood waned.
He didn't know how to guard against Juventus's surprise moves, because Capello had almost no surprise moves, or tactics that unexpectedly changed the situation of the battle. It could even be said that Capello was "cowardly"!
Even if it is as simple and direct as Bobby Robson's withdrawal of defenders and forwards, or the dangerous move of "either you die or I will collapse completely", Capello is almost invisible.
Therefore, if Juventus wins, it is a win, but if Juventus looks like it is going to lose, then it will lose if it loses in the end. The changes that can reverse the situation, especially in terms of head coach adjustment, really can’t be seen.
Too many features.
This was also more obvious when Capello later coached other teams. The league is very stable. After all, it is a long-distance race. What is more important is stability. And like the knockout rounds, whether it is the Champions League or international events, the European Cup, and the World Cup, these
That's not what Capello is good at. 90 minutes and 180 minutes determine life and death. The more conservative a coach is, the less likely he is to reach the end.
Before the game even started, the stadium was filled with the loud singing of Millwall fans. It was like a war hymn, making the Millwall players on the field burst with blood and murderous intent.
Their eyes are sharp and their momentum is strong. They are not afraid of Juventus at all, even if their opponent's lineup looks very strong.
They all know in their hearts that this season's Champions League is of extraordinary significance to the club.
Millwall has participated in the Champions League for less than ten years, but it is only one Champions League championship away from becoming the team with the most Champions League titles. Even though it is only one of the teams, this is an incredible honor!
Therefore, no matter Juventus, no matter who they are, any opponent that stands in front of them will be crushed!
The mad lion wants to become the king and swallow up the mountains and rivers to sweep the world!
"The game has just begun. Millwall, who is at home, has no interest in testing their opponents. They quickly launched an attack after kick-off. Ronaldinho broke through Zebina on the left, but took the ball back one step.
, when Zebina chased him again, Ronaldinho passed the ball with his heel, beautiful! Pull
Thomas entered the penalty area against offside and swept the ball to the middle of the penalty area. Henry followed up to grab the point! Wow! Buffon! Fortunately, Buffon left the goal line and rushed out at the first time. He expanded the frontal defensive area. Henry was blocked.
When Nava was harassed, he had to choose to shoot directly, but Buffon blocked the ball with his body!"
At the beginning of the game, Millwall quickly launched an attack. The combination of wing and center was very good, and the full-back also boldly assisted. It looked very aggressive.
Capello frowned deeply on the sidelines. He could imagine that Millwall would burst out with strong combat effectiveness at home, but judging from the momentum alone, this was completely different from the scene in the first round of their match!
It seems that in the previous confrontation, Millwall was a sleeping lion, and today, this lion woke up!
The first round was a 0:0 draw between the two teams. The Italian media were generally optimistic, but some criticized Capello for being cowardly in not daring to attack at home, missing the best chance to defeat Millwall because Millwall
In that game, I played half the team as the main player and half the team as a substitute.
In the second round, if Juventus thought they could hold on for 120 minutes without conceding a goal, that would be a fantasy.
Therefore, when Capello starts the lineup, he focuses on counterattacks. There are three very threatening offensive players in front of him, Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, two double forwards, and Del Piero playing as an attacking midfielder behind them.
.
When Juventus got a chance to counterattack, Del Piero got the ball near the center circle. As soon as he turned around, he was pressed and interfered by Alonso. Although he was no longer the energetic zebra prince, his ball control skills at his feet were still very unique.
, but Aaron
Suo's defensive skills have also grown a lot in the same period. They press him closely and will not give him a chance to pass him head-on. They mainly focus on delaying and interfering. However, Juventus does not dare to press boldly, making Del Piero control
The longer the ball is held, the more disadvantageous it is to the offensive situation.
So he played the ball and passed it to Trezeguet. When Thiago Silva was defending Trezeguet closely behind him, the secret confrontation between the two began. Trezeguet did not retreat and took the initiative to get the ball.
, instead focusing more on physical confrontation with Silva, which resulted in De Rossi easily moving laterally to take the ball away one step ahead of him.
After De Rossi successfully intercepted the ball, he calmly distributed the ball to the right wing. Schneider covered it and quickly dribbled forward after receiving the ball.
After a one-two with Cristiano Ronaldo, Schneider dribbled the ball inside and completed another wall-hitting match with Kaká. Schneider unexpectedly entered the penalty area!
The 31-year-old German is like an old monster on the court. His defense is impeccable and he can hardly find a time when he makes a fatal mistake. He is always subtle when attacking, but he explodes at critical moments to make his opponent feel uncomfortable.
Terrifying power.
Schneider, who entered the penalty area, pretended to pass the ball, but kicked the ball back. He was very skilled with his feet, which made Cannavaro lose his center of gravity. At this time, Schneider calmly flicked the ball.
With a light cross, Ronaldo, who was also cutting inside, rushed forward and walked the ball away with his feet. He already had a shooting angle, and he completed the shot without hesitation!
"Buffon made a wonderful save. He saved Ronaldo's shot at the near post! After standing up, Buffon was very dissatisfied with his teammates' defense! He roared to remind his teammates to cheer up!
"
After Ronaldo shot, he raised his hand to Henry in the middle to express his apology. If he had passed the ball just now, Henry might have been able to hit an empty goal. However, Henry was being guarded by his compatriot Thuram. It is difficult to say that Ronaldo's pass could have been received by Henry.
.
Ronaldinho ran to take a corner kick. This time he did not take a tactical kick, but directly lobbed the ball to the front point of the penalty area. Nesta nodded the ball in front of the goal, but Thuram, who was marking him, also jumped up.
Nesta's header hit Thuram's face and bounced out.
Alonso, who was on the outside, rushed forward to meet the ball before Del Piero and shot!
Bang, a powerful kick and a fast long-range shot.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the ball flew out of the baseline, and Buffon was dripping with cold sweat.
If the ball flew toward the goal, he might not be able to react in time.
After Alonso shot the ball and saw the ball flying out of the baseline, his expression did not change at all and he turned around and ran back.
Juventus launched an attack, but their offense didn't seem to have much highlights. In particular, the Millwall players' team rhythm was very good and the overall integrity remained perfect. When the frontcourt players recovered their pressure, Juventus lacked the ability to move forward.
acceleration point.
It is difficult to tear apart Millwall's defense by passing the ball alone. He needs at least a very obvious point of speed impact to disrupt Millwall's defensive rhythm, but unfortunately, they did not.
When Ibrahimovic received the ball and was about to turn around, he was successfully intercepted by Nesta. Nesta passed the ball to Alonso, who without turning around knocked the ball horizontally to the left wing. Lahm dribbled the ball along the
The wing moves forward quickly.
When the Juventus defenders were focusing on Ronaldinho, Henry unexpectedly pulled in front of Lahm and cooperated with Lahm. When Lahm reached the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly knocked the ball back to him.
Kaka in the middle, Kaka sent another through ball, Ronaldo cut into the penalty area to win with speed, this time he passed the ball across the middle of the penalty area, but the force of the pass was too light, and Thuram, who was being defended, directly kicked the ball.
Kicked out of the sideline.
Millwall's offensive is getting higher and higher, and there is a lot of noise in the Juventus penalty area. Capello, who seems to be very calm with an expressionless face, is already a little frightened. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated. quick!
