AC Milan tried to suppress Millwall, but they did not rush the whole army. Due to the age restriction of the defense, they did not dare to move forward easily as a whole. In order to maintain the tightness of the third-line formation and avoid the formation being disjointed, the main force naturally
He spends most of his time in the midfield and backcourt.\\
The so-called suppression refers to the progress of the game score, but not the situation on the field.
It is conceivable that if they can overtake the score, then, without looking at the situation on the field, in the invisible comparison between the two sides, AC Milan will be more calm, while Millwall may fall into anxiety. This is a psychological
suppress!
Tactically, AC Milan mainly grasps the rhythm of switching from defense to offense and begins to exert its power.
Pirlo is undoubtedly a master in this area, and seizing the rhythm difference at the turning point of the game is what he is best at.
But within 5 minutes after losing the ball, when AC Milan switched from defense to offense, Pirlo organized attacks twice, both times looking very impatient!
He will directly launch long passes in the midfield and backfield, even when there is no pressing pressure from all directions!
This surprised Aldrich on the sidelines.
This is not Pirlo's level!
Ordinary fans look at the standard, perhaps mainly based on their skills. In terms of skills alone, Pirlo was in good form with these two long passes. One long pass found Rui Costa, and the other found Shevchenko on the sideline.
However, both of them lost the ball.
Whose responsibility is it?
The 33-year-old Rui Costa, whose explosive power declined, fell to the ground in embarrassment after being pressed by the beastly De Rossi. The referee did not call a foul. Shevchenko was also frozen by Nesta while dribbling the ball inside.
From an intuitive point of view, Pirlo has no responsibility. It is the problem of these two people.
But looking at the bigger picture... it was Pirlo who made them more comfortable when he didn't pass the ball to them!
It’s not Daoshan Ball, it’s similar to Daoshan Ball!
After the teammate catches the ball, he is isolated and helpless, with no follow-up points around him. He can only control the ball by himself, and is then blocked one-on-one by his opponent.
In this level of competition, Pirlo should understand better than anyone else that it is impossible to dominate the game alone!
Even Ronaldinho will not easily dribble past someone in AC Milan's dangerous zone. He can pass Rui Costa, Seedorf, and Pirlo.
But let him go to Stam, Maldini and Ronaldinho. It’s not that he wouldn’t dare, but the risk is too great!
The probability of a successful attack is highest if teamwork is the main method!
Aldrich shook his head secretly.
If AC Milan wants to resolve the battle and win with counterattacks and personal local outbursts, then he will be very disappointed.
That would be a disgrace to his job!
The seriousness with which he prepared for the competition and the energy he expended were like overkill and overuse. It was a waste of time!
But he was wary that this would not be AC Milan's trump card, nor could it be Ancelotti's "gift" prepared for Aldridge in the finals.
But what exactly will it be?
Can't guess!
This is also related to the change in thinking mode caused by Millwall's change in attitude since the arrival of the first dynasty.
They will not think hard about how to limit their opponents or rack their brains to figure out what kind of problems their opponents will pose for them.
What they have to do is to do their best as possible, and it is their opponents who should limit them.
If the opponent cannot limit Millwall.
So no matter how bad the game is, it just returns to a very primitive picture of football: who scores more goals!
At this point, Millwall has strong self-confidence.
After conceding the first goal, AC Milan's defense adjusted. It can be said that it was strategically forced to give up the protection of the side of the dangerous zone.
In other words, they will not try to make the dangerous fan-shaped area in front of the goal airtight and strategically give up on blocking shots from a certain angle!
This will ensure to the greatest extent that the front will not be penetrated, and the side will not be penetrated. As long as the attack cannot be successfully transferred to the front area, then Millwall will shoot. The angle is slightly smaller, and the probability of scoring exists.
Yes, but as long as Dida didn't make stupid mistakes and Millwall's shooting wasn't extremely tricky, AC Milan's goal seemed shaky, but they never lost the second goal.
Aldridge's main focus is on figuring out AC Milan's offensive routine.
What are they planning?
According to the current general trend, Serie A has fallen from its position as the world's No. 1 league and is entering a trough. From a technical and tactical point of view, the big reason is one thing, that is speed!
This speed is relative. Compared with the fast pace of the Premier League, Serie A naturally seems slower!
Therefore, when teams play as a whole, Serie A will appear to be slower.
As for AC Milan, AC Milan can still be one of the top teams in Europe now and in the next three years. A very important reason is that they have Kaká who has reached the top.
Pirlo is the organizer, but he cannot bring an unpredictable burst of speed.
Especially since he is positioned at the back, even if it is a long pass, the further the ball flies, the longer the flight time will be, giving the opponent more time to react.
But when Kaka is in the frontcourt, playing as an attacking midfielder or shadow forward, his explosive speed is an elusive point. His acceleration will lead to changes in the game and cause a chain reaction in the opponent's defense.
The team does not have a player like Kaka, so Kaka was a figure who "one person can decide the game" in the original historical Serie A.
Although the Kaka in 2005 and the Kaka in 2007 can be said to be two Kakas in the same period.
But the problem plaguing AC Milan now is: they don’t have Kaka!
The lineup does not have this acceleration point!
Relying on long passes?
Pirlo's previous long pass has already given the answer.
When the ball flew from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Millwall's defensive players were top-notch in their predictions. When the ball flew less than 1/3 of the way, De Rossi, Nesta, Schneider, Lahm, and even Arsenal
Ronso, and perhaps everyone except Silva, can accurately predict the specific location of the landing point, and then make the best decision while observing the opponent's offensive development during action.
In the process of this short passage of time, AC Milan's players receiving the ball will become more and more dangerous. Because before they receive the ball, Millwall's defensive players are quickly approaching them step by step, waiting to press.
Or the physical confrontation started right before they caught the ball, making them very uncomfortable.
It is impossible for such an attack to penetrate Millwall's defense!
Millwall hit three consecutive shots from the side of AC Milan's defense zone, with Villa on the right and Henry and Ronaldinho on the left. These three shots ended in failure.
So Millwall started trying to force the middle!
In the 31st minute, Kaka, Ronaldinho and Alonso made a triangular pass in the middle, and then Kaka tried to directly break through AC Milan's defense line in the middle. When the opponent was not supported by the wing to tear the width of the defense line, such a move
The ball breakthrough obviously underestimated the opponent.
Gattuso was indeed shocked by Kaka's explosive power, but he did not completely lose his position. Instead, he engaged in a physical confrontation with Kaká. Kaká was squeezed a step away. If the front was clear, Kaká would have simply avoided it.
Two steps outside, then
can break through Gattuso. But after AC Milan strategically lowered the side protection, it paid great attention to the center. Maldini had no chance for Kaká to rush forward. He stepped forward and intercepted the ball directly and passed it to
Pirlo started to move.
After Kaká lost the ball, he immediately accelerated towards Pirlo, while Pirlo gracefully protected the ball and pulled it sideways as Kaká rushed towards him. When Kaká lost his center of gravity and needed to take a breather, Pirlo seemed to be slowly but steadily dribbling the ball.
Come forward.
Aldrich was now on alert.
When Pirlo, Seedorf, and Rui Costa made continuous triangle passes in the midfield to advance the attack, Aldridge's expression changed, with a hint of viciousness, and murmured to himself: "I knew it,
I knew it! Carlo, this is your main attack method! No wonder your hair is turning gray, you are so cunning!"
Millwall's frontcourt players returned to defend, including Ronaldinho, but they made a mistake!
A mistake misled by AC Milan!
They are chasing Pirlo!
Instead of returning to the midfield to fill the space in the backcourt!
Why?
Because at the beginning, they ran back, with Henry and Kaka harassing and retreating in the middle, while Ronaldinho and Villa ran along the inside route of the wing towards the backcourt.
However, Pirlo has been launching a long pass attack before!
Millwall's frontcourt players hadn't even taken a few steps when they suddenly discovered that AC Milan's offense had been terminated!
After several consecutive times, their defense naturally became to intercept Pirlo, subconsciously thinking that as long as they sniped Pirlo, AC Milan's offense would be finished!
Looking at it now, this is a trap!
A trap with Pirlo as the core!
Let Millwall's overall defense be paralyzed and careless!
Generally speaking, no coach would dare to do this, because it is a sacrifice and a gamble!
The passing time is the price!
Game time is the foundation of everything. Without time, how can there be any offense, defense, or goals?
However, thinking about it on the other hand, if AC Milan plays like this from the beginning, will it have a miraculous effect?
Will the three No. 10 players have the effect of advancing quickly through their superb skills and cooperation in a small area like now?
How could Millwall present a picture to the audience that the opponent was about to attack the situation with troops?
AC Milan has no point of acceleration, and Ancelotti is well aware of this. At this moment, Ancelotti clenched his fists tightly, and his face looked calm, but in fact his facial muscles were trembling undetectably.
However, AC Milan has the most stable passing midfielder in the world!
Pirlo, Seedorf, and Rui Costa, all three are masters of passing!
After getting rid of Millwall's frontcourt defense, the three quickly moved forward in a triangle position. The distance was not too far and the position was reasonable. The three passed the ball to each other to penetrate Millwall's midfield defense.
!
One-on-one is a very special situation.
There are actually not many one-on-one scenes on the court. Even on the wing, there are more possibilities for contact between wingers and full-backs, and players in the middle.
Millwall only has Alonso and De Rossi in the midfield, but AC Milan has three points. Defending 2 may be no problem, but defending 2 and 3. Why should Millwall defend against these three passing masters of AC Milan?
The AC Milan fans in the stands were excited. They could clearly see the difference in the momentum of AC Milan's attack. This was the biggest change in AC Milan's momentum after the opening. There was an unstoppable sharp display!
Point your finger at the mad lion!
Now, it’s time to retaliate in kind! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
