Benitez focused on reshaping Liverpool's inner spiritual temperament, which made Liverpool appear "emotional" during this period and lacked depth and rationality.
The Red Army was like a wounded beast, unleashing all its passion for counterattack and eliminating any negative effects. At least this gave them a completely different fighting look from the past.
But the disadvantage is that playing like this makes it easier for loopholes to appear in the defense!
Nearly 40 minutes into the first half, Millwall once again scored in a way that caught both Benitez and Liverpool off guard.
Ram dribbled the ball from the backcourt and was about to pass the half-court when he suddenly turned into the middle. After attracting the opponent, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally to the right. After touching the ball, Ronaldo strode towards the middle with the ball. Millwall
The damage done by these two knives diagonally into Liverpool's overall defensive formation shocked the entire Liverpool army!
What kind of play is this?
Have you given up on the wing?
Ronaldo passed the ball across to Ronaldinho after attracting at least three players from his opponent. The latter decisively passed the ball to the front of the attack and handed it to Villa. Villa followed up with his heel in the penalty area. At this time, the back line
Liverpool, who had been overwhelmed by their predecessors, lost Nedvěd again.
The blond God of War smiled at Nabilia's gift and hit the goalkeeper with a heavy kick to send the ball into Liverpool's goal!
"Nedved helped Millwall expand their lead! Andy, do you think the scene was very chaotic?"
"Yeah, it's very messy! But if you look carefully, it's Liverpool who are messy. Millwall know what they are doing! When Ram dribbled the ball diagonally to the center, Alonso's movement caused chaos in Liverpool's defense. c
When Ronaldo also dribbled the ball diagonally from the right to the center, Carrick and Sissoko looked at one thing and missed the other. They didn't know who to mark. Ronaldinho hadn't touched the ball yet. Gerrard, Finnan, Sissoko
division,
Carrick, these four points were all heading towards Ronaldinho. As a result, Ronaldinho kicked the ball, and Villa moved at the front of the striker to create deep space for Liverpool.
The back line and midfielder completely opened up the space. They responded appropriately and sent the ball to Nedved's feet, and Nedved scored! Millwall's offensive players all played their role, but Liverpool's defense was in chaos.
!”
Nedved is enjoying the cheers of the fans. This is the most wonderful moment for him to enjoy football now.
Benitez was stunned on the sidelines.
He confirmed.
Millwall ushered in another "enhanced upgrade" after simplifying their tactics!
Aldridge was on the sidelines with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
How to play football?
As long as you abide by the rules, you can play however you want!
Breaking out of the tactical framework, football is actually free!
Just like what Aldridge suggested in the past internal coach training courses for Millwall: We can analyze the classic technical and tactical formations and learn the essence of them, but we should not be limited by them and fall into rigid dogma.
In the thinking mode, if you think carefully and think that playing four forwards can greatly improve your probability of winning, why not? What others think is crazy does not necessarily mean that you are crazy.
Let’s use a simple example to describe the core of Aldrich’s tactical fine-tuning this time.
Many teams on the football field will pass the ball back from the midfield to the midfield. Why do they pass the ball back?
Different situations will have different reasons.
Maybe there is no ball release point in front and you need to control the situation. Then passing the ball back can ensure that the ball is at your feet, reshape the offensive situation, and wait for better opportunities to appear.
Maybe you find that your opponent is very impatient. If you pass the ball back, you may be able to attract the opponent to take the initiative to press, exposing the space behind you, and then pass the ball directly from the center to the back. Maybe the comparison of the number of attackers and defenders and the size of the space can be used to return the ball.
Subtle changes occurred after the pass and a direct pass forward.
The problem is coming?
You can pass the ball back, why can't you dribble the ball back?
Is this a very rare scene, or a scene that cannot be seen at all?
Almost no player would dribble the ball back over a long distance, more than 30 yards, during the game!
But can it be done?
Why not? Of course!
Imagine that Ronaldinho controls the ball in the frontcourt with no breakthrough space in front and the passing point is blocked. He takes the ball and turns around to run into the backcourt. What effect will it create?
The opponent will probably be dumbfounded, right?
What is he going to do?
Can't guess!
Yes, at this moment, the opponent's thinking will take an unexpected turn!
Because Ronaldinho's behavior violated the rules!
As for why no one on the court carries the ball back long distances, but there can be large-scale backpasses, there is only one reason: passing is more efficient than dribbling!
It is conceivable that if Ronaldinho dribbles the ball back, how much physical energy will it take, and how much will it take to run up again? There is also the time required to dribble the ball, which creates a mental impact on the opponent, but also gives the opponent enough buffer.
and adaptation time.
Therefore, moving forward on the football field is absolutely the mainstream, and one of the purposes is to give the opponent as little time as possible to react.
It forces the opponent to make a decision based on their first reaction. Once this decision goes wrong, it will become a breakthrough point for the attacker.
The starting point for Millwall to make reasonable tactical changes during this period based on the abilities of the players on the field is: the ability to control the ball and dribble!
Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, these are all players who have the ability to destroy the opponent's defense with a single line!
But go straight, the wing goes forward from the wing, and the middle goes all the way to black. This is too easy to predict, which is a conventional way of playing!
The only difference is that Ronaldinho's breakthrough ability is stronger than Larsson's and more efficient than Grunchar's. However, in terms of the overall situation, it will not cause too much impact on the opponent. It is nothing more than how many people fill a hole.
That's all.
But now, Aldridge's tactical changes are mainly based on players attacking the opponent's defensive system!
In the European battlefield, which is based on tactics, the meaning of the formation is more about the responsibility in the defensive area. Offensive players can run disorderly. The forwards can go to the midfield, the left wing can go to the center, the right wing, and the midfielder.
You can hit the forward line, but what about the defense? The tightness of the defense lies in that if the full-back is not on the wing and the central defender rushes forward rashly or is too far away from his partner, then the defensive system will lose its tightness. It will be
Being beaten by the opponent's pass.
It is precisely based on this that Millwall's offense focuses on breaking the opponent's habitual positioning and zone defense concepts.
When Ronaldinho leaves the left wing position, what should the opponent's full-back do?
When Ronaldinho brings the ball to the center and Nedvěd does not switch positions with him, what will the opponent's defensive pressure be like?
Especially when the opponent is unable to steal the ball from Ronaldinho's feet and sees Ronaldinho passing through his defense zone but not heading directly towards the penalty area, what should he do?
This series of unconventional impact effects are forcing the opponent to make a decision in a very short period of time!
Especially when Millwall does not play mainly by one person, the opponent's defensive system will be shattered by the seemingly unconventional dribbling trajectory of Millwall's dribbling players!
First they will get into trouble.
In fact, this is also an improvement and sublimation of modern winger flow.
When Ronaldinho dribbles the ball from the wing and cuts inside to shoot, making it difficult for the opponent to guard against it, and when Robben cuts inside from the right and makes it difficult for the opponent to keep up with the rhythm, this in itself is an unconventional dribbling trajectory and offensive routine compared to the past.
, now Millwall is using this routine that appears at the forefront of the offensive end in the back, and it is a tactical operation that is planned and executed tacitly by the whole team, rather than an individual performance!
Benitez confirmed Millwall's changes and roughly figured out what Millwall was planning.
But there was nothing he could do. If he couldn't defend himself, he couldn't defend himself!
Millwall has not rested on its laurels. Whether it is advancing with the times or continuing to insist on internal transformation to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. Aldridge's style in charge of the team remains the same, which is to maximize the players' strengths and characteristics!
Whatever they are best at, take advantage of it.
This is also the key direction for Millwall to make fine adjustments without changing the framework in the post-Pirlo era.
When you have more talented players, you have to give full play to their abilities, but ultimately you have to put a shackle on them to prevent them from "losing control".
Liverpool fell behind by two goals before the end of the first half. Although the players were a little bit shocked, they all calmed down and planned to wait and see again in the second half. At least during the midfield adjustment, I hope Benitez can use the coach's scheduling.
Adjust their abilities to help them find a way to restrain Millwall.
Benitez doesn't have many good ideas. Millwall will blatantly crush you with hard power, bullying people without blushing, and he doesn't pretend to be a gentleman anymore.
At the beginning of the second half, Aldrich watched the game from the sidelines for five minutes and laughed in anger.
Benitez is fucking a bus!
This is the simplest method that will last forever!
When you don't know how to limit the opponent's offense, simply use more players to fill the space in the penalty area. Weak teams can use this trick, and strong teams can also use it!
However, after setting up the bus, Liverpool's physical exertion will be more serious, because they retract, which means that they are further away from Millwall's goal. When they attack and come back, the running distance will be greatly expanded.
Liverpool resisted tenaciously for 20 minutes, and then quickly launched a deadly counterattack. Benitez also worked hard in the counterattack.
Use Owen as a bait to pull towards the wing, attracting Millwall's center back to leave the defensive zone slightly, and then use the winger on the other side to cut in as a hidden attack point.
This counterattack was very beautiful, decisive, ruthless, and fatal in one blow!
Owen dribbled the ball to the right of the frontcourt, and when the attack advanced to the penalty area, it passed to Gerrard. At this time, Garcia cut into the middle and became the first point of attack, restraining Silva and affecting Nesta's judgment.
.
Gerrard passed the ball to Kewell, who followed up in the back row and cut inside. Kewell crossed into the penalty area and deflected Nesta, then volleyed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. Liverpool was struggling.
Won one back in the counterattack!
This is a golden goal. Although it did not allow Liverpool to equalize the score, it had a vital impact on the morale and confidence of the Red Army team! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
