"Millwall reversed the score! Grunchard's shot lacked a bit of luck, but after it bounced off the goal post, the astute Trezeguet succeeded. Grenchard's performance in the second half was even more threatening.
Hall's half-court adjustments were very effective."
After the go-ahead goal, Aldrich stood up and applauded his disciples with a smile on his face.
After he sat down, Benitez asked in confusion: "Why do you have to ask him to cut inside? Isn't this a normal route for a winger to go down?"
Faced with this problem, Aldrich just shook his head and said nothing.
In this day and age, it is difficult to explain this problem clearly.
In the next ten years, players in many positions in European football will disappear one after another. They will later be popularly called classical, classical attacking midfielder, classical winger, etc. Classic means the past, not the present or the future.
The disappearance of classical players or the sudden decline in competitiveness is inseparable from the overall football development environment, including the team's defensive posture. For example, in modern times, most teams' defense still pays attention to attacking. This is also the survival space for classical wingers, who are least afraid of going up.
As a defensive guard, if you take the initiative to grab me, I will let you go without any discussion.
As for other aspects including the emphasis on the defensive midfielder position, the outstanding advantage of a powerful center requires the delivery of cannonballs from both wings.
The contemporary Peter Pan Overmars is not that he does not have the ability to cut inside, but that the Dutch national team has many powerful centers in the penalty area, who need both wings to pass from the bottom and provide assists.
In the next ten years, Spain, which has produced outstanding wingers one after another, has also suffered the most misfortune. Every time they have the angel wings that attract world attention, they always end miserably in international competitions. In the end, even the door of the national team is no longer open to them.
The classical winger is open. Even if he is brought along, he is not a chess piece in the mainstream tactics. He is more of a supplementary and changeable option for the team.
The disappearance of the classic attacking midfielder means that the essentially static style of play is not in line with the mainstream of European football.
Attention returned to the field. After being reversed, Liverpool fell into a completely crazy state, like an enraged beast. The previous seventy minutes of the game did not seem to make them tired, but instead they were more motivated to run.
The fans in the stands of the stadium held their breath. They had not felt this kind of pressure and tension at home for a long time.
I was afraid that Liverpool would score a goal in the next second.
Liverpool's tidal offensive relied on integrity and aggression. For a moment, Millwall was overwhelmed and breathless.
This kind of scene makes Aldridge not surprised but happy. Today he also wants to thank Liverpool, but it is definitely a compliment.
Because the pressure brought by the Red Army's crazy state is something Millwall has never seen before. Even against Manchester United, Millwall has never experienced this kind of pressure. It is more suppressed locally, but Liverpool's run today
The intensity should be the highest of any opponent Millwall has ever faced.
The pressure they encountered made the players unable to withstand it. Makelele even made a steal mistake that almost allowed Redknapp to equalize the score with a long shot.
Aldridge had to make a change. He asked Gattuso to warm up and replaced Trezeguet with thirteen minutes left in the game.
This time the formation changed to 4312.
Makelele, Barak and Gattuso were responsible for intercepting in front of the penalty area, and Nedvěd responded in the midfield.
There were less than ten minutes left in the game. Liverpool pressed forward with overwhelming force, passed the ball quickly when receiving the ball, and quickly counterattacked after losing the ball. Seeing those red shadows surrounding Millwall players like a pack of wolves, Aldridge saw that in his eyes
An iron-blooded Red Army!
But Millwall didn't leave much space for Liverpool to attack. Makelele was responsible for intercepting, Ballack compressed the space, and Gattuso swept across a wide area. This caused Liverpool to encounter big trouble in the offensive organization of positional battles.
Although Redknapp Jr. passes the ball accurately, he is not outstanding in creativity. This kind of player's characteristics are generally praised, but compared with the top passing masters, he is judged and passed.
It's just basic skills, when to pass, where to pass, and using the pass to tear apart the defense are the highlights of the masterclass performance.
When the offensive space was compressed, Barnes could not find a way to pass the ball. There were people everywhere in front of him, and he was not sure about handing the ball to the full-back who came up to assist, so he chose to break through with the ball and use his skills at his feet to pass the ball.
Tuso deceived him, but as soon as he accelerated, Makelele tackled diagonally and accurately shoveled the ball away from Barnes and flew to the right.
Barnes quickly pounced to the left, where the ball was. Schneider took the ball and didn't wait for McManaman and Barnes to press him. His performance today, which he spent almost the entire game on defense, was very poor, but at this moment,
He calmly passed the ball to the left side of the frontcourt with a long diagonal pass, which was a stroke of genius on the court.
The audience's eyes were focused on Millwall's second half, and this pass made everyone's attention suddenly shift, and then they burst into loud cheers.
Glenchard crossed the center line and started sprinting. He stopped the ball steadily and then dribbled two steps. Liverpool's backcourt was empty, with only two central defenders. Barb retreated back, but Scales made an old habit.
Take the initiative to defend against Grenchar.
This time, Grenjaer did not choose to break through. There was too much space in the middle. Nedvěd looked at him while running. Grenjaer passed the ball diagonally to the center. Nedved took two steps forward after taking the ball.
After Larson opened the space, he easily pushed the ball straight through. Even if Babu had wings on his back, he couldn't catch up!
Larson passed the ball into the penalty area. James had just taken two steps forward when he saw Larson move forward to chop the ball with his feet. The ball jumped up lightly, making the game full of speed and collision excitement suddenly pick up the pace.
There has been a turning point change.
The entire audience looked at the unpredictable and beautiful little rainbow, and seemed to find a brief moment of peace from the exciting atmosphere.
James looked back and saw that the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and entered the goal. The rainbow passed over his head, causing him to place his hands on his hips and lower his head and sigh.
"Wonderful goal! Larsson killed the game, 3:1, with less than 3 minutes left in the game. It is almost impossible for Liverpool to escape unscathed at the Lion's Den Stadium!"
The Liverpool soldiers were puzzled as they looked at their opponents who ran to the corner flag to celebrate.
We became famous earlier than our opponents. In terms of strength, the outside world does not think that Millwall's players have an overwhelming strength advantage.
But why did Millwall play with such control? The offense was smooth and fluid, and the offense and defense transitioned freely.
In the last three minutes, Aldrich used another substitution to delay time. Glenchar received applause from the fans when he came off the field.
His performance today was very eye-catching, but from an efficiency point of view, it was still terrible. The success rate of passing and crossing was frighteningly low. But being able to make the right choices at the most critical moment means that he is growing.
Liverpool tried their best, but failed to change the score. At the end of the game, Aldridge took the initiative to applaud. Today's Liverpool are worthy of respect. They have at least begun to restrict Millwall tactically, but the characteristics of the players are not enough.
To perfect the tactics, for example, in a three-man midfield, if there is a dedicated defensive midfielder, their offense and defense will be more balanced.
However, Millwall is also growing. Once these players become more comfortable switching tactics, their personal abilities will be one of the decisive factors in victory or defeat.
The fans in the audience also stood up and applauded the players of both teams. Although the Lions fans have a winner's mentality, there is no harm in their appreciation of this confrontational game.
Aldrich and Evans came together, and after shaking hands, they chatted a few more words.
Evans apologized for Collymore's insulting gesture, Aldridge accepted the old coach's apology, and then also praised Liverpool's performance today, and finally the two left one after another.
Because today is a strong dialogue, especially where Millwall's Premier League rankings are displayed, there is not a simple interview in the mixed zone after the game, but a press conference.
The players went to the mixed zone for live television interviews, and Aldridge sat in front of a group of reporters.
Most reporters felt that Millwall had another victory today, but during the game there was the Collymore middle finger incident, and Jenson was sent off with a red card. Aldridge should have fired at Liverpool, right?
But when asked about his evaluation of Liverpool's performance in this game, Aldridge surprised everyone.
"Today's Liverpool is one of the strongest teams that Millwall has faced in the past two years. Although they lost the game, they did not lose their momentum and spirit. If they can maintain their performance today, there will be a great success at the end of the season.
A good league ranking will make it more competitive in the future. On the contrary, I think Millwall will start to
The players were a little slack during the field stage and did not pay enough attention to the opponent. This made us passive from the beginning and conceded the ball first. Fortunately, they adjusted quickly. I am very happy that we reversed and won, but I
I don’t want to see the team lose goals again before they can bounce back.”
The reporters in the audience asked Aldridge about it, wanting to hear him criticize Liverpool.
But Aldridge is uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Compared with the hot guys who used to mock Liverpool, today he mostly gave high praise when commenting on the players. Even if Redknapp is not commendable on both offense and defense, at least he
Aldrich also praised Aldridge for his dedication and concentration on the game.
"Did you see what Collymore did?"
It's impossible to get past the game's controversial figure, Collymore.
Aldrich just downplayed this and wrote: "I didn't see it, someone told me, and I don't care very much, even if he came for me, he seemed to have forgotten that when he did this, he was wearing
The jersey is red, with the emblem of a wealthy club recognized in England, Europe, and even around the world. Only those with twisted
Only people with values think that what he does is cool. Is it humiliating me? Is it humiliating Millwall? Haha, I think he has turned himself into a clown. He is embarrassing Liverpool, not Millwall, when we
When we want to humiliate our opponents, we will use victory, and we will use a bloody victory to make our opponents remember us. This is the correct way to express our thoughts on the football field."
Aldridge is very open-minded about this kind of thing. People who don't like him will humiliate him in various ways. Do players on the field get angry when they gesture with the middle finger?
Then when he goes to an away game, the visual shock of countless fans' obscene gestures is stronger than when done by one person, and the obscene words from the stands are endless. If you can't stand this, don't be a head coach.
The psychology of various people in the football circle is very strange. If you fail, some will laugh at you. If you succeed, some will hate you. If you are mediocre, some will still scold you.
The rise of Millwall is reason enough to be hated.
How can a team on the cusp of the storm be liked by everyone? (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
