When Pirlo came on, both sides thought their chance had arrived.
When Fernandez saw Pirlo, he felt that the Italian was soft in defense and obviously not as good as the German who had just come off the field. So he asked Rai and Leonardo to retreat a little, and the offensive players kept a certain distance, so that they could connect reasonably.
stand up.
But Fernandez obviously overestimated his players' physical fitness, and Millwall's tactics suddenly changed after Pirlo came on the field.
For more than 60 minutes, Schneider and Capdevila, who had been defending in the backcourt, began to frequently intervene. Pirlo was unmarked in the midfield. An attacking midfielder like Rai Yi might be able to defend well.
However, the defensive skills and awareness are obviously much worse. The shortcomings of this type of players are also obvious. As long as the first attempt fails, they will not fight for the second time. Therefore, Pirlo only needs to pass the ball twice with Makelele.
After passing the middle circle, there is basically no one behind him to chase him.
This allows Pirlo to easily use his own characteristics when organizing attacks.
The full-back assists to increase the ball release point, Nedvěd retreats to support, and the winger retreats to hide the attack point. Pirlo has many options for the ball release route.
All of a sudden, when Millwall was in possession of the ball, the ball would not stay too much at the feet of any one player. The two wingers who had rushed forward after receiving the ball also began to kick the ball. The ball was passed back and forth at an astonishing speed. Even the TV
The live camera couldn't keep up, and you had to use a long shot to see Millwall's offensive routine clearly.
The Paris Saint-Germain players were also surprised, especially the two full-backs. Domi and Fournier were used to marking Larsson and Shevchenko to prevent them from dribbling the ball through, but they saw in front of them.
There were less than two players to attack them with the ball. Instead, when the opposing full-backs rushed up, the two wingers simply kicked the ball and transferred the ball to the full-backs.
Schneider came up from the right, Shevchenko took the ball and turned around. Domi "habitually" started to defend frontally. However, Shevchenko passed the ball straight to the right side of the opponent. Schneider happened to be offside and penetrated into the penalty area.
ribs.
Fernandez was stunned!
What's going on?
Didn’t the winger cut inside? The full-back also cut inside!
After Schneider crossed into the penalty area, Legane immediately pounced on him. He was also stunned. He did not expect that it would be a full-back entering the penalty area instead of the opponent's winger. Schneider took the lead and poked the ball towards the penalty area.
In the middle, hitting the goal is not his strong point. Moreover, he and Le Guan compete for a point. He is only half a step faster at most and can only shoot the ball.
Legane's heart suddenly went cold when he saw the ball rolling away from him.
Ngoti! Your mother must come back!
Ngodi, who was responsible for intercepting between the back line and the midfielder, was really back. He stared at Trezeguet's movement. The two had equal opportunities, but Trezeguet didn't give his fellow countryman any face.
, carrying the opponent with his body and deliberately slowing down, which made Ngodi very angry, and the ball rolled past them again.
As soon as the ball passed, Trezeguet immediately gave up the confrontation and started running forward to the right. Ngodi went to chase the ball. Incredibly, he saw a blond figure striding towards the horse and hitting the ball with a long shot.
.
There was no defensive player to interfere with his shot, so his feet and the ball were very difficult.
I saw the ball flying towards the goal like a meteor.
The old goalkeeper Lama rushed to the right, and his fingertips touched the ball, but he only changed the direction of the ball slightly. In the end, the shot that made Lama's fingertips ache still blasted away the Paris Saint-Germain goal!
"The ball went in! Nedvěd equalized the score for Millwall! This is the Millwall I know. Their one-touch ball and quick passing and cutting are simply superb. Even when the number of people seems to be equal, they use
Taking advantage of running position and instant explosive power, the defensive midfielder
Guerlain should have been keeping an eye on Nedved, but he seemed to be unable to keep up with the Czech's speed. Millwall's attack tore apart Paris Saint-Germain's defense! 1:1, with 20 minutes left in the game.
Minutes, this score is undoubtedly favorable to Millwall."
After Nedvěd scored, he raised his arms and shouted, constantly swinging his arms to encourage his teammates and bring their morale to a higher level!
The Paris Saint-Germain players looked at their opponents in confusion, feeling very strange.
So strange!
They seem to have become a different team!
The way of playing is completely different.
Where did the wing breakthrough go?
Why did the full-back rush forward again?
Why is the pass so accurate?
Why don't you do some footwork?
Fernandez covered his forehead and his heart sank to the bottom of his heart.
In fact, this is the Millwall he studied.
But in the first 60 minutes or so of the game, Millwall confused Paris Saint-Germain with the tactics of breaking through and crossing from the wing. At the same time, it also consumed their physical energy by suppressing the wing.
Now they are playing team passing and cutting to cooperate with rapid advancement, and PSG's players obviously can't keep up with the rhythm in their running.
Things on the court are very delicate.
If Millwall starts the game by playing the deep-lying organization they are good at and quickly advances, once they are defended by Paris Saint-Germain after the start, then the players of Paris Saint-Germain will become more experienced as they play, and they will enter a state of restraint, both physically and mentally.
In the opponent's rhythm.
However, Millwall suddenly changed their style of play, which caused them to suffer a heavy blow before they could react.
It's too late to build a fence now, and the situation is not good for them. Millwall scored an away goal and the score was a draw. This is their home court and they have no way out.
Aldrich clapped his hands on the sidelines to encourage his disciples to keep working hard.
The problem facing Paris Saint-Germain now is very simple, how to restrict Pirlo. They use the classical midfielder Pulley, and defense is their weakness. Who will restrict Pirlo?
Fernandez also responded quickly. He deployed his troops and replaced him with a defensive midfielder specifically to restrain Pirlo and removed striker Loko.
His substitution caused a burst of boos at the Parc des Princes.
When the team needs offense the most, they actually replace the forward?
Fernandez's face was not very good. Fans may not have realized that since Loco scored a goal, he disappeared from the field. When the camera was focused on him, he either lost the fight or was in an offside trap.
Contributed nothing offensively.
Pirlo is not afraid of others to guard him now, especially when he organizes the area from the back. If the opponent attacks hard, then Nedvěd will have a lot of space in the midfield and frontcourt, not to mention the two wide players of Paris Saint-Germain.
He has been beaten to the point of losing his mind.
The current defense of Leroy and Domi is simply useless.
Pirlo easily arranged the organization and allowed the attack to launch from the wing. Schneider and Capdevila, who had been holding back for most of the game, began to unleash their offensive power.
"Millwall has completely taken the initiative on the field since the 70th minute. Even if they lose the ball, they will immediately organize a counterattack and then launch a counterattack on the spot. Paris Saint-Germain's players seem to have physical problems and they can't follow.
The speed of joining Millwall. When the British media evaluated Millwall last season, they said that their youth made them pay the price of missing the league championship. But this season, I think youth is their biggest advantage. They are better on the court.
Run more actively, the game has passed seventy minutes, and their sprint speed has not slowed down at all!"
Millwall's stormy attack completely stunned Paris Saint-Germain, and there were constant jitters and dangers in front of the goal.
The person who performed normally and could even be said to be world-class was goalkeeper Lama.
He was able to save every Millwall shot within goal range. Except for Nedvěd's shot, which he did not block, there were 12 shots in the next 15 minutes, 8 of which were within goal range.
He resolved all the knocks on the door!
Trezeguet's shot from close range was blocked by Lama with his foot.
This was Trezeguet's seventh shot in the game, but he still failed to score. Compared with his efficiency in the Premier League, it can be said that it is greatly reduced.
This made Trezeguet so angry that he kicked the Paris Saint-Germain goal post.
Pirlo took the corner kick slowly, waiting for his own defender to rush forward.
The game has reached the 86th minute. The players of Paris Saint-Germain look even more nervous. Most of them are exhausted, and their hair is askew. Some even run so hard that their heads are "smoking", which is a strange sight under the light.
The forwards all crowded in front of the goal. Helguera, who was rushing up, was at the back point, and Nedvěd was at the front point. When Pirlo made a short-distance run-up, the penalty area was in chaos.
But everyone in the penalty area was dumbfounded when they saw where the ball landed.
My grass, ball, where are you going?
Outside the penalty area, at the top of the arc.
Schneider, who had been roaming in the midfield before the corner kick, appeared in that position. No one was guarding him. The ball was half-high in the air, and there was no one blocking it. The flight speed was not too fast, and it decelerated when it fell.
Schneider planned to volley with a kick, and his posture was so cool.
Bang!
Aldridge slapped himself on the head from the sidelines.
What did you shoot!
He obviously made a mistake in kicking the ball. The ball hit the instep and spun into the air, slowly flying towards the small penalty area.
The Paris Saint-Germain players saw that Pirlo's ball was heading outside the penalty area, so they rushed out again. Unexpectedly, Schneider's volley shot was missed, and the ball flew from the top of his head to behind him.
He hurriedly stopped and turned around, almost breaking his waist.
In the small penalty area, Lama gave up the goal, but someone jumped up in front of him and headed the ball into the goal. This time, Lama was unable to recover.
He could only signal to the linesman that the opponent was offside.
But the linesman had no reaction.
"A sure win! Larsson helped Millwall beat Paris Saint-Germain. There were less than five minutes left in the game. Millwall reversed Paris Saint-Germain 2:1 in the away game. The players of Paris Saint-Germain complained about offside, but
Slow motion tells us that Larson is
He was indeed standing behind the Paris Saint-Germain defender in the penalty area, but the right back of Paris Saint-Germain who was guarding the far post moved slowly. He was trailing behind. When he came up, Larsson had already scored. The referee's
The penalty was correct and the goal is valid!”
After scoring the goal, Larson showed an excited smile, opened his arms and roared to his teammates. He ran along the sideline and his teammates chased and intercepted him. Everyone seemed to be going crazy with excitement.
In the end, Larsson was caught by Southgate, they fell to the ground, and his teammates all rushed over to celebrate the goal.
This goal puts them one foot into the finals!
Aldridge jumped up on the spot with an ecstatic smile on his face. Other coaches and players also rushed out, cheering for the team's goal!
The Parc des Princes stadium fell silent, with only the Lions fans waving Millwall flags and shouting wildly.
Aldridge started the substitutions, replacing Shevchenko with Grenchar, and replaced Capdevila with Gianluca Zambrotta.
Paris Saint-Germain was unwilling to lose at home. Regardless of whether they still had physical strength, they immediately pressed forward with their troops.
But after their strong offensive failed, they turned around and Schneider found Grenjaer with a long pass over the top. The Danish kid was amazingly explosive and strode to the wing. His footwork seemed a bit rough, because
He seemed to have gone too far. When he faced Duomi, he kicked the ball five meters behind him. Duomi turned around and chased after him. As soon as he took two steps, he found someone beside him running at the same speed as him. After another two steps, he was thrown away.
Open a position.
Mahler Gobi! Are you fucking cheating?
Grenchar used such a simple and crude way to beat Domi hard, changing the direction of the dribbling ball into the penalty area, Le Guan came to defend, he changed direction again to reach the bottom line, and then knocked the ball back to the center.
Trezeguet, who ran out of space and was unmarked, faced this God-given opportunity and calmly volleyed the ball. The angle was chosen well, near the goal corner!
However, Lama made another sideways dive to block the ball. He only did it subconsciously because the ball hit him in the face!
Trezeguet kicked the goalpost in anger just now, but now he has completely lost his temper.
He stood there with his hands on his hips and his head lowered, then walked forward slowly, bent down, patted Lama who was covering his face and fell to the ground in pain, and said sorry.
Paris Saint-Germain escaped disaster. The referee also blew the whistle to end the game. Rama had to be checked by the team doctor. There were only ten seconds left before the end of the game. Anyway, Paris Saint-Germain would delay the game time.
The referee is not afraid of being criticized either.
At the end of the game, Millwall defeated defending champion Paris Saint-Germain 2:1 in the first leg of the European Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals.
