At the Parc des Princes, visiting Millwall conceded the ball first, which did not surprise the spectators at all. Even Aldridge did not think there was any problem.
Losing the ball is a common thing, so don't worry about getting angry.
Before kick-off, he gave two gestures to the court, one that Southgate could read, and one that the offensive players could read.
Southgate turned to look at the other three defenders, making sure that everyone nodded in understanding before giving Trezeguet the kick-off signal.
Millwall did not quickly open up their formation to counterattack after losing the ball. The overall formation was still a bit deep. The two full-backs did not press forward during the attack. Instead, their wingers pulled out and created opportunities through one-on-one. Lal
Sen and Shevchenko did what classical wingers like to do, dribbling the ball down and then crossing.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, his mind running rapidly.
Paris Saint-Germain is not invincible, especially as their weaknesses are obvious.
That means the midfield and backfield players are either too old or too young.
Not counting the 34-year-old goalkeeper Rama, the right back Fournier is 33 years old, the deep-lying central defender Le Guan is 33 years old, and the other forward central defender Ngoti is 26 years old, but his attacking ability also makes up for the reduced running ability of the midfielder.
Guélan is 31 years old, and left back Domi is only 18 years old.
The right midfielder Leroy is 20 years old, and the focus is to make up for the 33-year-old Fournier's side in defense. The 28-year-old Coe on the other side is obviously to make up for the weakness of Domi's lack of young experience.
Although forward midfielder Rai Yi is 32 years old, he has matured with age, not to mention that Leonardo on the striker sometimes takes the initiative to withdraw to provide support. Leonardo and forward Loco are both 27 years old. But this striker combination
His performance in Ligue 1 was mediocre. As the main forward of the French national team last summer, Loco's performance began to decline after he moved to Paris Saint-Germain. However, the opening goal still showed his strength.
Aldridge's admiration for Fernandez does not come out of thin air. Just look at Paris Saint-Germain's lineup. The opponent has shown the value of the head coach. It is not just the superposition of the players' talents on the court. It is also the formation between the players.
The sublimation effect of complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses is the meaning of a team.
Although Millwall did not advance as a whole, they still achieved good results in their offensive changes.
Shevchenko took the ball on the right and faced the 18-year-old Domi. Although his foot skills were not fancy enough, his speed and explosive dribbling were more than enough to beat the opponent. Larsson took the ball on the left and faced the 33-year-old veteran.
Fournier, although he did not succeed every time he broke through, his speed and skills still prevailed.
Whenever two wingers break through on a certain side and successfully hit the bottom, they will always bring the ball close to the baseline and then pass it. At this time, three points will be outflanked in the middle of the penalty area. Trezeguet grabs the lead, Ned.
Wade stepped in right in front of the goal. The winger on the other side also entered the penalty area to outflank the back point, so Millwall's offense was quite impressive. Although the routine was monotonous, it was full of threats.
"Is this Millwall? To be honest, I have not watched a complete game of Millwall, but I have watched a lot of highlights of their Premier League games. Their offense should not be like this on the field now.
Where is the organization in the middle? Where is the cooperation on the wings? Where is the through ball that threatens the ribs? It’s really strange. Is it that Hall is afraid of Paris Saint-Germain’s counterattack, so he doesn’t dare to invest troops?”
Not only the commentator, but also Luis Fernandez frowned.
He carefully studied the opponent Millwall and really shocked him. In terms of defense, he deliberately used the central defenders to position themselves in front and back, similar to the Italian chain defense strategy. However, he did not expect that the opponent would not play in the middle at all. Two
The winger really used the old-fashioned tactic of passing from the bottom.
But what left him speechless the most was that he arranged for the full-backs to defend and target the opponent's full-backs for assists. This could restrict the wingers from cutting inside. As a result, the opponent's wingers did not cut inside when dribbling the ball, and they no longer cooperated. They were determined to blow up the side.
The defender made a pass, which forced his full midfielder to drop back to the baseline to support the defense.
Although the team has not equalized the score yet, Aldrich is full of confidence and the situation on the field is as he expected.
Because the opponent's full-back was unable to freeze Shevchenko and Larsson, forcing the full-back to return to defense, and his winger reached deepest, stretching the offensive line as deep as possible, which meant that the opponent's full-back also had to return.
Retreat to the deepest position and attack again during the attack. The running distance between this round and round is one hundred meters in your own half alone.
There are so many veterans in Paris Saint-Germain, let’s let you run for a while first!
Millwall's two-wing offense gradually became more and more prosperous, which caused Paris Saint-Germain to lack offensive support in the counterattack. It lacked a ball outlet after switching from defense to offense. The full-backs were near the baseline. Larsson and
Shevchenko's transition from offense to defense was fast enough, so Paris
Saint-Germain could only directly look for Raiyi or Leonardo in the frontcourt, but the distance between the offensive and defensive ends was too wide, which gave the defense more time to prepare. Makelele was closer to Raiyi and did not give him any more time.
In the space where the opponent can easily get the ball, Southgate is also holding up Leonardo.
Paris Saint-Germain tried several times to break through from the wing with the ball but was destroyed, so they also started to try long passes during the counterattack.
After Coe took the ball on the left wing, he realized that Shevchenko behind him was about to catch up with him, so he made a long diagonal pass and sent the ball to the front court. Leonardo leaned against Southgate with his back, and then
Taking off first, at this moment, Helguera, who was guarding Rocco, took a step forward intelligently, and Schneider and Capdevila on the flat line also took a step forward in tacit understanding.
Leonardo didn't have many options. He couldn't stop the ball and turn around because Ballack had already rushed from the front, so he chose to head the ball. He consciously headed the ball towards Loko's side.
After he finished the header, he looked down and saw Loco stopping the ball on his chest and facing goalkeeper Bute alone.
The spectators at the Parc des Princes held their breath and were about to appreciate Loco's goal when the referee suddenly stopped the game.
The linesman flagged Loco for offside!
Loko shot the ball anyway, but Bute did not make a save. He turned around and returned to the goal to detect the ball.
Rocco protested angrily to the linesman, but no one paid attention to his roar.
Southgate nodded towards Helguera. The tacit understanding between the defense partners is very important.
In addition to letting the wingers play deep to consume the opponent's physical strength, Aldridge is also a strategy to suppress the opponent's offensive starting point. In addition, Aldrich also allows the defense to use offside tactics.
Because Brazilian stars like Rai Yi and Leonardo like to stick to the ball at their feet and make more moves, they will spend more time organizing attacks. As long as they make good judgments when pressing, they will wait for the opponent to pass the threatening ball.
when the opponent's forward will fall into the offside trap.
Time passed by, and although Paris Saint-Germain was still leading, they felt more and more pressure, and the spectators in the stands also saw that something was wrong.
The two wingers were completely blown away.
Domi and Fournier are no match for Shevchenko and Larsson.
Fortunately, the quality of the crosses passed by these two people was not very good, otherwise they would have scored a goal long ago.
However, there is no way to continue playing like this. The situation on the court is changing rapidly. Who can guarantee that the next cross will not accidentally hit the head of a Millwall offensive player and turn into a goal?
Paris Saint-Germain's offense also fell into a quagmire. Raiyi lost his magic under the double-teaming of Makelele and Ballack, and the full-backs were unable to attack. This allowed Millwall's full-backs to compress the center to help defend.
Paris Saint-Germain's offense was cut to pieces by Millwall. It was obviously impossible to pose a threat by fighting alone. In the second half of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain's forwards frequently fell into offside traps.
Thank God, the first half is over.
Fans hope that Fernandez can make some adjustments in the second half to improve their defense and offense.
There were less than three thousand Lions fans who came all the way from London. They were flooded in the stands of the Parc des Princes, with anxious looks on their faces.
The team was lagging behind, which made them feel very uneasy.
During the halftime break, in the locker room, Aldridge specially arranged tactics for Nedvěd in the second half.
"Pavel, according to the direction of our attack, you have to be more active on the corresponding side. Whether it is the left or the right, you should respond more to Henrik and Andre, and respond to the attack by interspersing movements. This will reduce
There is a direct threat in front of our goal, it doesn’t matter, I will give you a signal when the game reaches 60 minutes. By then, it will be our time to dominate this stadium!”
The team was lagging behind, but the players were not discouraged and were still full of energy and fighting spirit. Nedvěd nodded firmly and said loudly: "I know!"
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Millwall's offensive routine remained unchanged. Paris Saint-Germain remained calm and did not make any obvious changes. After all, Fernandez did not change many moves, and the team was in the lead.
He also prevented the opponent's attack in the half, and he didn't want to mess up his position.
In the second half, Nedved shifted from directly threatening the opponent's goal to providing offensive support.
He ran extensively in the frontcourt and cooperated with Larsson and Shevchenko on the opposing wings, making Millwall's offense very smooth, but the threat in front of the goal was reduced, resulting in Millwall's offense being unable to gain momentum.
point.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines, and the focus of his eyes was not on his own players, but on every Paris Saint-Germain player.
Those veterans in their thirties were out of breath at the beginning of the second half. Even when they were defending in the backcourt, they were unable to keep up with the rhythm by running back and forth with sudden stops.
Most of the older and stronger players know how to allocate their physical strength reasonably, especially the game is flexible and changing. When their team attacks, the defensive players can rest for a while without assisting. However, Millwall repeatedly beat the wing and defended.
The players could only run back and forth exhaustedly. Often, within twenty seconds after a clearance was made, Millwall's attack came again, leaving them with no time to breathe.
Aldridge is most concerned about the two opposing players, right midfielder Leroy and left back Domi. These two players, who are 20 and 18 years old respectively, are about to be beaten to collapse!
Leroy assisted Fournier in defending Larsson, but Nedved was completely helpless when receiving the ball. Especially with the speed of Larsson or Nedved after receiving the ball, he did not even have the chance to foul.
No, Domi was even worse. He was completely bruised by Shevchenko. A clumsy foul earned him a yellow card. His expression looked a little helpless.
When the game reached the 60th minute, Aldridge looked at the PSG veterans panting and the young players listless, and he thought the time had come.
Pirlo, who had been warming up on the sidelines after the start of the second half, was called in front of Aldrich, who then assigned him tasks after coming on the field. The focus was on defense, and Pirlo did not need to be reminded of the offense.
In the 63rd minute, Millwall made a substitution.
Pirlo on, Ballack on the bottom.
That's Aldrich's signal.
The players on the field were shocked and everyone knew how to play next.
Aldridge welcomed Ballack off the field, patted him on the shoulder and praised him, then turned back and looked up at the stadium stands, his eyes becoming sharp and lively.
Parisians, the game has just begun.
Millwall is here to be the protagonist! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
