The atmosphere in the Millwall dressing room is not like a stagnant water after a trauma.≤,w≥ww.↖m
The football critics who are paying attention to this game may be talking about Bute's poor performance in the first half.
In fact, in the Millwall locker room, some players may be dissatisfied, but complaining about teammates is not a phenomenon that is allowed in the locker room. There may be only a thin line between criticism and complaint, but Millwall has always grasped this degree very well.
good.
To take a step back, Bute's performance was poor, because both goals conceded were related to him.
But don’t other players have any responsibility?
You know, Millwall didn't score a goal in the first half and didn't even make a few threatening attacks. This is abnormal in itself. If you want to complain about Millwall's attacking group, Ronaldinho must bear the brunt of the responsibility.
Other players also did not perform well in the first half.
Will blaming and blaming each other make the situation better?
Won't!
The team needs mutual encouragement and support to keep the team's morale at an exciting level.
As the captain, De Rossi's thinking was very clear at this time. How should the team play and how to reverse the opponent and win the game? Such technical and tactical aspects are not for him to worry about. The coaching staff is responsible for it, but as the captain, he
To boost the morale of the whole team.
So when Aldridge and the coaching staff pushed through the door, what they saw made them think they had gone to the wrong room. They seemed to have walked into the Chelsea locker room where morale was high.
De Rossi stood among his teammates, looking majestic and a little fierce and yelling at his teammates: "Who is the King of Europe?"
The Millwall players standing around him shouted in unison: "Lions!"
"Who is determined to rewrite the history of the Champions League! To be the number one in history?"
"It's our crazy lion!"
"Will we lose our fighting spirit to Chelsea?"
"Won't!"
"Are we afraid of Chelsea?"
"No!"
"We're going to beat Chelsea to the ground in the second half, aren't we?"
"That's right!"
"We're going to win, we're going to lift that damn seventh Champions League trophy for the club! Right?"
"right!"
"I'm proud of me. I'm proud of you. Because we are?"
"Crazy lion! Crazy lion! Crazy lion!"
After the captain took the lead in boosting morale, the Millwall players were already excited in the locker room, and the morale blow caused by being two goals behind was well dispelled.
At this time, De Rossi returned to his seat and stood still, and all the players on the team stared at Aldridge with keen eyes.
How to make a comeback, of course, we must listen carefully to Aldrich's deployment.
When Aldridge walked in front of the players, Villas-Boas and Stramaccioni also moved a tactical board behind Aldridge.
"Being behind 0:2, it looks a bit bad. Chelsea played very well today. They are better than before. Not only did they try their best to defend, but they also used very smart ways to contain us. However, today I want to prove something.
One thing, I always tell you, you are not the best version of yourself yet, you still have potential. Maybe for a long time in the past, some of you have thought I was lying, but you are already the best version of yourself. Today is.
It's time for me to fulfill this sentence, because you can still be stronger!"
Aldridge's expression was not nervous, and his calm attitude injected stronger confidence into the team.
He marked the general formation and movement routes of both sides in the first half on the tactical board behind him, and then began to briefly explain to the players why they did not perform well in the first half, or explain to them what Chelsea's "smart way" was.
What is.
Compared with the past, Chelsea pays more attention to midfield defense, reducing one winger and strengthening one midfield defensive player. Then, they will have a numerical advantage in the midfield, and the four backs themselves will have a numerical advantage over Millwall's trident.
, the two forwards stood back to compress the defensive space when defending, making Chelsea's half not only form an impregnable fortress, but also perfectly cut Millwall's offensive formation when executing defensive tactics!
So Henry will have almost no performance in the first half, and his number of touches on the ball is pitiful.
Therefore, whether it is Ronaldinho or Cristiano Ronaldo, even if he can get past one of them, he will fall into an isolated and helpless situation.
The fundamental reason is that Millwall's formation is cut into pieces. The closer it is to Chelsea's penalty area, the harder it is to connect with teammates.
Aldrich must make his players understand the root cause of their inability to gain an advantage in the first half.
Only by understanding these from an overall perspective can we take directional improvement measures and do our best after listening to Aldrich's subsequent tactical adjustments.
"In the second half, we have to change our formation."
Aldridge erased the tactical board and drew a new Millwall formation diagram.
in this formation.
Cristiano Ronaldo switches from right wing to left wing!
Henry moved to the right wing!
Ronaldinho hits the attacking midfielder!
Kaka, pseudo center!
The midfield and backcourt remain unchanged.
Without Aldridge's previous explanation, the players might be confused at this time.
Millwall has weakened its centre-forward, wouldn't it make it more difficult to get close to the opponent's goal?
No, in this case.
If Henry continues to play the center position, he will inevitably be isolated and helpless amid layers of blockades.
Or, Millwall adds a forward in the penalty area, but where will this additional forward be deployed?
The midfield itself has no advantage. If it is further weakened, wouldn't it mean that there is no place for it to stand out?
The back line cannot be moved easily. The threat of Chelsea's counterattack is clear at a glance. A sufficient number of defensive players must be ensured.
It is not feasible to add forward options in the penalty area. Aldrich did the opposite and simply did not use the center!
Ronaldinho's attacking midfielder and Kaka's pseudo-center forward cover the area from midfield to the penalty area, which will increase the control here.
On their two wings, there are Ronaldo and Lahm on the left, and Henry and Schneider on the right.
Behind them, there are Alonso and De Rossi.
If Millwall wants to make a comeback, they must first take the right medicine, which is the penetration of the midfield. Players are cut into formations by the opponent's defense during the attack, blocking the connection between teammates.
This must be improved.
In fact, four years ago, when Aldridge reflected on the game against Brazil in the World Cup, he thought about the game from Brazil's perspective. The experience he concluded was that a 3R combination with terrifying strength is completely
England can be killed early with aggressive adjustments.
It's just that it's difficult for Scolari to make such a change, because he can't let the alien Ronaldo retreat from the forward line, support the midfielder, and connect with more teammates. Otherwise, Brazil will not be fighting alone.
The England team blocked the attack through fouls. When England all retreated, there was no doubt about the individual strength of the Brazilian players, but the team's integrity was obviously eclipsed.
Today, Millwall faces the same difficulties as the Brazilian team did back then.
When teammates can't connect with each other, can they only rely on personal abilities?
Will this be effective?
Maybe the end result will be the same as Brazil's back then, earning n number of fouls from the opponent but not being able to score.
Another point is the decisive factor for Aldridge to make such a change: this current formation is the ultimate vision of the third generation of Millwall Lions!
It can be said that in the past two years, Millwall has been cultivating the core team of the third generation of Mad Lions based on the essence of the skills and tactics of the second generation of Mad Lions!
Aldridge has been slow to turn this final vision into reality because of two points. First, Ronaldinho is still at his peak. Second, Millwall lacks the last piece of the puzzle: Messi, whose strength surpasses the upper class!
Originally, in the middle and later part of this season, when Ronaldinho was unable to continue and his condition began to decline, Aldridge had already begun to experiment with such a formation, but it was not fixed.
It is undeniable that Ronaldo's training stage has reached a critical point this season, and he must move to the position that suits him best, that is, left winger.
Messi is growing up, and now Aldrich is interested in straightening Messi up next season and making him the main right winger. Then, the ultimate technical and tactical idea will be completely formed.
Attacking Millwall will be the two superstars on the left and right. The center will be weakened and turned into a pseudo-center to strengthen the midfield and support the scoring ability of the wingers. Next season, Henry, who is nearly 30 years old, can play.
Kaka can play, so can Villa, and so can Aguero in the future.
Although it is really helpless to change the formation now, considering the competition situation, there is nothing wrong with taking a risk.
Finally, Aldrich concluded: "In the second half, we have to break the opponent's defensive cutting circle. We have to be able to find each other's teammates, use fast ball, active running to get the ball moving, large-scale transfer, fast, fastest
, move faster, let the opponent run with us, keep shifting attention, and then after they can't keep up with our rhythm, we can penetrate the opponent's defense! I have confidence in you, what about you? Are you confident?
?”
After thoroughly understanding Aldridge's tactical adjustment, the players looked at each other, nodded to each other and loudly said: "Yes!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Aldrich's mouth, and he said lightly: "Then let's go, show your true colors as a mad lion, and victory will belong to us!"
All Millwall players walked out of the dressing room in high spirits.
They left the locker room earlier than the Chelsea players and waited for the start of the second half. It seemed that Chelsea also spent a long time in the locker room giving instructions or adjusting arrangements during the halftime break.
Aldridge returned to the stadium and found that the stands where the Lions fans were sitting were a little depressed. Probably many fans were also worried about the Lions.
He spread his hands and made a move to arouse the atmosphere of the stadium.
Within a few moments, the second half of the game at the Stade de France had not yet started, but the passionate shouts of the Lions fans in the stands shook the sky!
If you don’t look at the score, you might think that the Mad Lion is in the lead!
Mourinho was stunned for a moment when he walked into the field. He paused and then walked to the coaching bench. He glanced back at Aldrich, who had his hands in his pockets and looked indifferent.
For some reason, his expression became solemn. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
