Thanks to "The Thief" and "Purple Dawn" for the reward!
--------------------------
Nedvěd took the towel sent by the team doctor and wiped his face first, then used the towel to hold the wound, and walked to the sidelines accompanied by the team doctor. Aldrich walked over with a serious look on his face and wanted to ask about the injury.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, Nedved said solemnly to Aldridge: "Boss, I'm fine! I can continue the game!"
Aldrich didn't listen to him and stared at the team doctor.
The Lions fans in the Wembley stands were full of worry, fearing that Nedvěd would not be able to continue playing, which would be a heavy blow to the team.
Even if they are one goal ahead, the fans are not optimistic.
After Nedved came off the field, the referee showed Torricelli a yellow card.
Obviously, Torricelli had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, and the immediate reaction of the Juventus players also gained him emotional relief. Moreover, the game had only been played for more than ten minutes. If Juventus had one less player, it would not be enjoyable to watch.
From a perspective, it will definitely affect the game.
The goal was undisputed and Torricelli received a yellow card.
The fans in the stands gave up, and Wembley was filled with harsh boos, unable to understand the referee's decision.
The blood on Nedvěd's face showed how dangerous the opponent's foul action just now was. If there was any deviation, his life might be in danger!
Aldridge had no time to protest to the referee. He was more concerned about Nedved's injury. After the team doctor treated the wound, Nedved insisted on playing. The team doctor thought that the problem was not serious, but the wound needed stitching. So Nedved
Enduring the pain, he urged the team doctor to quickly suture the wound without anesthesia.
Millwall's medical team was really ready for everything. They stitched up Nedved's wound on the sidelines. Because Nedved urged him in every possible way, the stitching was done very quickly, and then they put a bandage on his head.
Even though the team doctor urged him to avoid heading the ball, Nedvěd did not respond. He quickly changed into a new jersey and stood on the sidelines waiting for the referee's signal to return to the court.
When he was allowed to return to the court by the referee on the sidelines, Wembley burst into cheers and the fans were excited. Nedved, with a bandage on his head, once again deepened his heroic image!
Many fans showed off the flags and posters they waved before the game. Nedvěd was on them. The Roar fans sang songs in praise of Nedvěd in unison. The scene was both shocking and touching.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines. He only allowed Nedved to continue playing in the game under the professional evaluation of the team doctor. As long as the team doctor said no, Aldridge would immediately replace Nedved.
Fortunately, Nedved can continue fighting.
This unexpected incident became a turning point!
A turning point that is even more positive for Millwall.
Nedved fought through injuries and returned to the field tenaciously. His steely will infected every teammate, making Millwall's fighting will even stronger!
On the contrary, after Juventus witnessed Nedvěd returning to the field, no matter what they thought, they would definitely be affected. At the same time, Torricelli's yellow card made them passive.
Lippi saw from the first goal conceded that Millwall relied on the speed advantage of the offensive players in the frontcourt to launch a surprise attack from the east to the west.
This is related to the fact that Juventus entered the game slowly in the away game. In the first ten minutes, the left wing was frequently in trouble, and a space on the right wing was suddenly exposed. Millwall suddenly transferred the ball to the left wing, and Nedvěd suddenly hit it.
In front of the goal, this is indeed a wonderful tactical coordination. It is not accidental, but a premeditated tactical design.
This is also the strength of Millwall, this main team. It does not rely on individual ability to absolutely crush the opponent one-on-one and make a fuss locally, but teamwork to defeat the opponent from an overall perspective.
Silver Fox stood up and conveyed instructions to the players and made some adjustments.
Juventus's defense quickly shrank, leaving two sides open to the opponent. It concentrated on protecting dangerous areas, compressed the space for Millwall's offensive players to penetrate, and reduced their penetration speed advantage.
After Millwall took the lead, their offense shifted and they hit Torricelli's side, a strong attack!
Torricelli was afraid of receiving another card and did not dare to move too much. If Davis and Conte hadn't frequently filled in, I'm afraid this side would have been beaten by Millwall!
The Lions fans in the stands have been cheering for the team and they found today's game very enjoyable.
Millwall attacks Juventus!
It seems that the Serie A giants are nothing special.
But fans don't know that Millwall is using unprecedented running and physical exertion to establish an advantage!
Juventus switched from defense to offense, and Deschamps handed the ball directly to Zidane in front.
Zidane controlled the ball well and turned around, facing Pirlo, and made a fake move, but Pirlo lowered his center of gravity and remained unmoved.
In today's game, Aldrich analyzed the characteristics of almost all Juventus players in detail. Whether it is offense or defense, players are required to concentrate and not make mistakes!
Zidane's strengths are ball control skills and flexibility, as well as overall creativity and creativity.
If you take the initiative to press him, he will probably get rid of you completely.
He doesn't have an advantage in terms of speed, so don't be afraid of him charging up.
Pirlo's task is very simple, to hold Zidane back, as long as he doesn't get passed at the first opportunity and slows down Zidane's rhythm.
When Zidane was in possession of the ball, he looked in six directions, looking for the ball's release point. He frowned.
Millwall's defense is very targeted. Makelele is standing in the area behind Pirlo and is blocking Del Piero. If Zidane passes the ball over the top, Del Piero will be involved in a header fight.
In the situation, and waiting for the ball to hit the ground before taking possession of the ball, time will give Millwall more opportunities to defend.
Helguera didn't seem to be staring at Inzaghi, but held up Del Piero. Southgate was trailing behind, keeping a one-meter distance from Inzaghi.
Inzaghi, that is the super striker who was born on the offside line and settled there!
Aldridge can't bet on whether Southgate or Helguera will not leave their mark when Inzaghi is caught offside.
So today Southgate is more like a sweeper, trailing behind. Even if Inzaghi gets the ball, as long as there are defensive players in front of him, his threat is definitely not as strong as that of a single player.
Millwall's two full-backs also shrink into the penalty area when defending, ready to fill in and help defend at any time. After all, Juventus does not have a regular winger, and the wing attack relies on the midfielder behind Zidane to push forward.
Zidane controlled the ball and pedaled a bicycle and took a step forward. Pirlo also took a step back. Zidane pedaled a bicycle again and took a step forward. Pirlo also took another step back.
Zidane was depressed. What did the Italian guy opposite him do? Isn't he a midfielder? You came up to grab me as a midfielder!
He moved the ball laterally and made a fake move to change direction. Pirlo still took a step back. He opened some distance, but he was still face to face with space to defend Zidane head-on.
Zidane saw it, this kid would never take the initiative to grab it!
Pirlo wanted to steal the ball from the opponent, but the boss emphasized before the game: No!
If the defensive player only focuses on the ball and then grabs the ball at Zidane's feet, it is not 100%. But the chance of being passed is too high!
Let’s play through the wonderful passing scenes in Zidane’s career. Many of the defensive players who were passed took the initiative. Zidane could use balance, dexterity and excellent ball-handling skills without speed to let the defenders pass.
The player loses his center of gravity and then passes the opponent at that moment.
Pirlo was the first gate to defend Zidane today, and Aldrich's arrangements for him were very clear: Don't focus on the ball. Mark people, follow them! Don't lose your position!
Zidane still couldn't find the ball release point, so he dribbled the ball to break through. Pirlo really didn't try to steal him, but stuck in his position and followed Zidane's people. The opponent was a master, not a sledgehammer, so Pirlo
The physical confrontation is worse, but in front of Zidane, there is no disadvantage.
Zidane dribbled the ball laterally and then pulled it towards the wing. When he brought the ball to a position close to the wing, he suddenly realized Millwall's defensive tactics today.
Pirlo is stuck in the inside position, and at the same time, other offensive players have already returned to their defensive positions!
As long as Zidane switches from defense to attack, he cannot pass a fatal threat. The players involved in the attack in Millwall's frontcourt will quickly return to their defensive position, and then use the overall formation to compress the space. If Juventus wants to attack, then
From counterattack to positional warfare.
The people who really came to rob him were Pavel Nedved and Trezeguet.
However, Zidane's ability to protect the ball is really world-class. Even if Nedved comes from behind, Zidane turns around and the ball is still at his feet. Nedved rushes over and does not fight back.
He came to Pirlo's side to increase the horizontal area of defense and waited for Trezeguet to come and steal Zidane.
Zidane was depressed, but he didn't insist on passing anyone. With less pressure in the backcourt, Davis and others could attack, so he distributed the ball to his teammates. The offense was slower.
, at least the ball is guaranteed.
Millwall was united today and used physical strength to run back and forth to strengthen their offense and defense.
Juventus' attack was very difficult. After all, Millwall's overall defense was too strong. They fell into a quagmire after halftime. Del Piero was the last to touch the ball in this attack.
After shaking, he barely got up and hit the goal. The ball was blocked by Helguera, and Juventus' attack ended.
Millwall counterattacked again, and the midfielders and frontcourt players moved forward in a hierarchical manner. Juventus did not counterattack in the midfield and frontcourt. Pirlo's scheduling and organization work from defense to offense was relatively easy. After getting the ball, he directly divided it to the two sides.
route, and then moderately advance forward to respond, using a combination of ground passes and cuts from the side and center to tear open the opponent's defense.
Juventus shrank quickly and did not give Millwall any better space to advance forward. When the rapid advance reached the penalty area, they would encounter strong defensive resistance from Juventus.
Millwall began to use long-range shots to intimidate opponents, hoping to lure the opponent's backline and give them more space behind them.
But Juventus is not afraid of Millwall's long-range shots. They have three midfielders to protect the back line. They are all strong players who can fight and grab. Even if Millwall takes long-range shots, the threat is not great unless it is a stray dog.
The bad luck hit the world, giving Peruzzi time to react, and the success rate of the save made the shooter very desperate.
Juventus started to play one-on-one during the counterattack. If they didn't press the midfield line, they could only play hard.
Del Piero, who is in great form, is very exciting to pass. Before he was seriously injured, he was also a striker who combined speed and dexterity. He played with elegance and art. It's just that he passed one person. If he can pass several people in a row, Milvo will succeed.
You'd better go home as soon as possible so as not to embarrass yourself.
What is more depressing is that Inzaghi was almost invisible in the first half, with few chances to win the ball. The few times he touched the ball, he was directly destroyed by Millwall's defensive players.
Before heading into the locker room at halftime, Aldridge called out Benitez and Jenson to whisper in the hallway.
Leading 1:0, should we attack or defend in the second half?
Aldrich feels the decision at this time will be very difficult.
