Although Millwall has a lot of hidden worries in the new season, Aldridge is working on solving them. With his control over the team, there will be no internal trouble.;
As for the new atmosphere within the team in the new season, it is not just about worries and joy.
Kaka's fighting spirit, Alonso's aggressiveness, etc., all put the coach in a "painful and happy" situation.
No matter how bad the signs are, there are always happy signs.
In his 12th year of coaching, Aldridge actually has never been able to understand what the definition of a midfield master is.
Perhaps for many fans, the midfielder who makes scalpel passes as a daily routine is a master!
Such as Pirlo, such as Rui Costa.
And organizers like Alonso, who pass the ball quite well most of the time, but are superior in passing accuracy, do not look like a master.
But Aldrich had no intention of delving into the master's standards.
He only cares about his own needs.
He can understand what Alonso is pursuing at this stage.
It's not just a forward pass that's visible to the naked eye.
It's about the extended effect that pass can have on the subsequent development of the offense.
Just like he could pass the ball to Ronaldo just now, but for Ronaldo, when his opponent is still wary, he may only be able to exert 60% of his ability.
But Alonso passed the ball to Ronaldinho, causing the opponent's defensive focus to instantly shift to Ronaldinho. At the same time, Ronaldo moved and Ronaldo took the next step. Ronaldo's performance may reach 80% or even 90%.
%above!
This is Alonso's purpose. He hopes to create opportunities for Ronaldo, but he will not pass the ball directly to Ronaldo. Instead, he will use his teammates to further contain and attract opponents, creating better opportunities for his teammates who are the first focus of attack.
In Aldridge's eyes, this choice meets Millwall's tactical requirements.
Simplify the complex, not all offenses are straightforward, there should always be some essence condensed in the blink of an eye in the team, although most people outside may not be able to see it, this is actually better, and improves the concealment of the team's offensive threats.
and will not be easily seen through.
Ronaldinho focuses on marking his opponent when there are more than three people. And when Alonso passes the ball and someone rushes toward him, he has no intention of arrogantly fighting the opponent. He is also afraid of the opponent's attack!
He ran back to receive the pass, and when the ball rolled over, he suddenly half-turned and fired a long curve ball without stopping the ball.
Everyone saw the ball crossing the left and right halves, drawing an arc from the sky, bypassing the Rangers back line, and quickly falling into the right side of the penalty area!
At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo has successfully countered offside and reached an amazing tacit understanding of passing and running with Ronaldinho. When the ball fell, he jumped high and headed the ball to the center!
When the Glasgow Rangers back line reacted and rushed back, they lost track of Henry. Henry kept the ball in the middle of the goal and raised his right leg to volley. He didn't deliberately exert force, but his movements were extremely elegant.
Beautiful, calm and steady shot the ball into the Rangers goal!
After Henry scored, he pointed at Ronaldo and trotted over to praise Ronaldo's pass. The two of them smiled, arms around each other, turned around and gave Ronaldinho a thumbs up gesture.
At this time, the commentator was marveling at Ronaldinho's field vision and praising his suddenness and accuracy of long passes.
This is such a master-class style!
If Aldrich could hear the commentator, he would definitely defend Alonso.
Alonso's mediocre pass actually allowed Ronaldo to move, counter offside, get rid of the opponent's marker, and create a certain amount of space.
It's a pity that the football field pays more attention to direct attacks rather than secondary contributions. Just like people pay more attention to who kicked the ball into the goal, and then if they are interested, they will see who assisted.
MacLeish was terrified at this moment.
For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was being tricked!
By whom?
Fleet Street!
Yes, Millwall has been winless in four league games, and almost everyone in Fleet Street is happily publishing eye-catching headlines like "The Fall of the Lion Dynasty."
He also plausibly analyzed why Millwall fell.
What enterprising spirit slipped after such a great honor.
All the players are working for their own "self-interest", that is, recuperating their energy for next summer's World Cup, so they don't work hard in club games.
Or maybe they are saying with a dark mentality that there are cracks within Millwall, and all kinds of unfounded stories are emerging one after another among the players and generals.
This series of public opinion bombardment is certainly not aimed at Rangers. Fleet Street does not have the leisure and leisure to help Millwall confuse its opponents, and Rangers does not have the level of strength to be treated solemnly by Fleet Street.
Fleet Street is just doing its job and promoting things.
If there is a subject for public opinion, you can add fuel to it and express it freely.
What's the truth? That's not important.
However, McLeish really believes that Millwall may be in poor condition. If Glasgow Rangers want to fight their way out of the Champions League group stage, it is really not enough to get 1 point for a draw. The temptation of 3 points and substantial benefits are enough for him.
Take risks out of desperation.
But Millwall's opening two strikes cost Rangers a heavy price.
The Glasgow Rangers players on the field were still unwilling to give up.
It's like they're playing a game of cat and mouse with Millwall.
Ronaldinho showed enough threat for them to take seriously, so they began to focus on Ronaldinho.
Ronaldo also showed a threat on the other side, and they also had to focus on keeping an eye on Ronaldo.
After they were prepared for this, reality made them feel crushed.
Alonso did constantly pass the ball to both wings in the midfield to create a situation where Millwall dominated the game.
Let Glasgow Rangers continue to invest in wing defense and continuously strengthen the restrictions on Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
Naturally, as the game developed, a huge gap appeared in their defense in the middle.
Before the end of the first half, Alonso boldly pressed forward, and together with Kaká in the middle and full-back Lahm who assisted, they formed a new triangle passing system in an offensive cooperation.
First, Kaka overcame all obstacles and dribbled the ball in the middle, and Alonso followed up from the back row.
When Kaka brought the ball to the front waistline, he suddenly returned the ball. The Rangers defense did not give him much room to break through. It was already good to be able to dribble the ball from the midfielder and press it to the front waistline.
Glasgow Rangers' defense is already in turmoil, but they are still subconsciously focusing on marking Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as Henry, who will be tried their best to restrict the front line from the beginning.
Kaka's return pass found Alonso who followed up from the back row.
Alonso took the ball forward and became the opponent's main target. Alonso was not in a hurry to release the ball. After he attracted enough defensive power, he suddenly sent a pass into the ribs of the penalty area.
The Rangers players in that defensive position almost didn't move because they all thought it was Ronaldinho who was pushing forward, but Ronaldinho didn't move!
Ram, who entered the bottom line from the outside of the wing, seemed to fall from the sky and suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision. The Glasgow Rangers' back line was penetrated!
Ram was not in a hurry to play the ball after taking possession of the ball. He took the ball laterally towards the goal, getting closer and closer. When he was approaching the goal, he made his opponent lose every inch, and then knocked the ball back to the side behind him. Kaka
He hit the ball and shot into the lower right corner of the goal, easily rewriting the score to 3:0.
There was an air of regret in the stands at Ebbcross Stadium.
It is unrealistic to say how much expectations Rangers fans have for their team to win the game.
But to say that they could accept it calmly after being conceded three goals in the first half is a bit outrageous.
But thinking about the fact that the opponent is Millwall, seeing their sharp offensive and invincible momentum, it can only make people feel regretful.
McLeish was extremely helpless and Rangers had no chance to fight back.
The opponent is too strong!
Ultimately, there is a clear gap between the strength of Glasgow Rangers' players and Millwall's.
If instead of one-on-one marking, Millwall's frontcourt offensive players could be restricted with three-and-two defense, then the defensive system would not collapse.
But Millwall, a player who rushes from the left, center and right of the frontcourt, is very difficult to defend against one!
Moreover, Millwall is very good at utilizing the width of the field. They try to tear up the defensive width as much as possible. Even if Glasgow Rangers compress the depth space, the mere tearing of width still exposes the team to gaps for opponents to exploit, especially Millwall.
Wall not only has a number of offensive threats in the front row, but also the offensive threats in the back row are even more difficult to guard against.
Aldrich didn't have much impression.
Millwall crushed the Rangers in the first half in a rather "cruel and cruel" way. Although the opponent was a "rich club", it was only compared to Scotland. Looking at Europe, the Rangers were not ranked at all.
In the sequence for Millwall's rivals.
After the halftime break, Millwall launched a lightning-fast blitz at the start of the second half!
Pressing up from the midfield line, De Rossi fired a long shot to create chaos in front of the opponent's goal. Cristiano Ronaldo fished in troubled waters in the penalty area and shot the ball into the opponent's goal.
On the big score screen at Ibrox Stadium, time is passing. The game time has just jumped from 49:59 to 50:00, 50:01, and the score has become 0:4.
International practice is that the home team goes first.
Once upon a time, Millwall was dubbed the "60-minute team", which meant that they could seal the victory and end the suspense in 60 minutes.
Today, in this Champions League group stage away game, they only needed 50 minutes. It can even be said that they sealed the victory in 45 minutes in the first half.
After the goal was scored, Aldridge began to reserve his strength for the weekend league. After all, Henry and Ronaldo played in the league last weekend. In the next stage, Millwall's focus is on grabbing points in the league, ranking first in the Champions League.
Scored 3 points in the game, which has created a relatively good start. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
