1:0 may seem like a weak score, but in a two-leg knockout match between home and away, and the home team can win the opponent 1:0, 1:0 is of great significance.
First of all, the opponent is not allowed to get an away goal. Then in the second round, Millwall can play on the road and defend against counterattack. As long as the opponent can score one goal in the away game, Juventus will have to score 3 at home!
This is where Aldrich hesitated.
He is satisfied with the 1:0 score, but there are still 45 minutes in the game. Does the second half need to be defensive from the beginning?
Benitez and Jenson each expressed their opinions.
They all believe that there are too many variables in 45 minutes. If they retreat at the beginning of the second half to defend against counterattack, if Juventus gets an away goal and Millwall tries to attack again, they may be powerless.
After Aldrich thought about it carefully, he felt that what they said made sense.
Just like the game against Chelsea in the League Cup, Chelsea attacked furiously from the beginning, but when the score began to shrink in the second half, they fell behind. They tried to attack again, but they couldn't pick up the speed.
The players entered an excited state in the first half. They suddenly dropped from the high speed and all aspects of their body functions "cooled down". It was not easy to mobilize them again in a short period of time. Once the opponent equalized the score, they would be under psychological pressure.
With anxiety, it is very likely that the team will collapse.
When Aldridge walked into the locker room, the team doctor was re-treating Nedved's wound. Aldridge asked a few questions and got reassuring results. He began to encourage the team and also made some tactics.
Change.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Millwall team still maintained a high-frequency and fast-paced playing style. Every player was in good condition today, passing the ball accurately and delivering the ball quickly. The idea of passing, cutting and moving was clear.
After Juventus adapted to the first half of the game, they also started to exert force in the second half, but their efforts were obviously controlled and they exerted force bit by bit.
It can be seen from their player movements and player participation in the offense that Zidane's ball is no longer forward. Instead, it is more about pulling the ball laterally and allowing other teammates who are assisting to respond.
The game gradually became more intense. Both sides deployed tight defensive lines starting from the midfield. Compared with many teams' unstructured individual crazy pressing, both teams showed top-notch defensive tactics. Serie A teams are good at chain defense. Mir
Under the training of Aldridge, Wall's defense never emphasized one-on-one rushes. Each defensive point was connected with the defensive line as a whole, and the opponent would not be given the opportunity to break through one by one.
Neither side was able to create better opportunities in the sports battle, and both teams began to frequently use set pieces to create murderous opportunities.
Juventus's two consecutive corner kicks missed the goal by a hair, which made the fans in the stands scream in panic.
Southgate shouted to his teammates, asking everyone to pay more attention. They have some disadvantages in defending set pieces, that is, the height of defense, which requires them to have more accurate predictions and more appropriate positions to contain their opponents.
When the game reached the 70th minute, Aldridge was pacing back and forth on the sidelines. At this point in the game, Millwall's physical energy consumption was beginning to run out.
Just judging from the perspective of observation, Aldrich knew that the players used 70 minutes today to run the distance of a normal 90-minute match. It is estimated that the average running distance has exceeded 10,000 meters.
Juventus stopped playing in the first half and gradually exerted their strength in the second half. Comparing the two, the gap between the two sides began to decrease from Millwall's dominance. Now it has become balanced. If it continues to develop, it is very likely that Juventus will win.
Totally dominant.
The experienced Lippi probably planned this from the beginning. Generally speaking, it is understandable to defend first and then attack. If it were not for Millwall's surprise attack and goal in the opening stage of the first half, Millwall might have missed the target at this moment.
Unable to score a goal, he couldn't help but press forward fully, giving Juventus more offensive opportunities.
It's time to collect it now.
1:0
This is an acceptable result!
Just as Aldridge was about to replace Trezeguet with Ballack, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Millwall played a wave of attacking "gaochao".
Trezeguet and Larsson changed positions, and Trezeguet, who was pulling on the left side of the penalty area, rarely passed an overhead ball to the right wing ribs within seconds.
Shevchenko hit the ball at high speed without stopping, and hit Pesotto with a long shot!
The ball flew towards the Juventus gate like a heavy cannon. Peruzzi swooped in and blocked the ball with one hand. However, the ball was too fast and he could not control the trajectory of the saved ball. The ball bounced towards the small penalty area line.
nearby.
When Ferrara and Montero reacted, they wanted to make a clearance, but Larsson jumped high between them and headed the ball to the other side of the goal!
Peruzzi was helpless and sighed with excitement as he watched the ball!
Ferrara and other Juventus generals immediately raised their hands to indicate that Larsson's follow-up shot was offside, but the flag in the linesman's hand kept drooping.
"Larsson's supplementary shot scored the ball! Millwall leads Juventus 2:0! This is a golden goal. If Juventus can win with two goals at home, Millwall's hope of promotion will be
It's going to be big, really big! Does anyone now question Larsson's lack of aggressiveness?
?He responded to all doubts from the outside world with goals in key games. He is the most important point in Millwall's front line that cannot be ignored. This attack is the cooperation between Millwall's front three! Trezeguet, Scheffen
Cenko, Larsson, they work together to help the team expand the score!"
The stands at Wembley were filled with excitement. The Lions fans were jumping up and down in the stands with joy. They were leading by two goals and their chances of advancement were greatly increased!
Aldridge also excitedly celebrated with fists on the sidelines, and then quickly turned around to ask Ballack to complete the substitution, and at the same time asked Gattuso to warm up. There was no need to hesitate at this time, and he could firmly defend the 2:0 score!
Under such a score, Millwall will visit Turin in the second round. As long as Juventus can score one goal in the away game, the opponent will have to score 4!
Ballack enters, Trezeguet exits.
Three minutes later, Gattuso came up and Shevchenko came down.
Millwall changes 4411.
Lippi walked to the sideline with a solemn expression and also made adjustments, but they were tactical rather than personnel adjustments.
He knows that the gap between two goals is a very dangerous situation. According to Millwall's performance in the three away games in the group stage, Juventus may not score at least three goals against its opponent even if it returns to home.
After adjusting according to Millwall's formation, Juventus took advantage of the situation. The two full-backs boldly stepped forward to assist, and the three midfielders also advanced in a hierarchical manner. Juventus turned around in the last ten minutes and launched a desperate counterattack!
By this time, although Millwall's players could still run, they had begun to lag behind Juventus in terms of speed. They spared no effort in running in the first 80 minutes, which made them passive in this regard in the last 10 minutes.
Aldrich kept pressing his hands to signal the players to stabilize. Take more rest and adjust your breathing rhythm if you have the opportunity, even if it delays the time.
However, Juventus did not give them a chance. During this period, they were in better physical condition and almost adopted a basketball tactic to press the whole court and press like crazy.
Zidane shot from a long distance. Inzaghi grabbed the point. Davis broke through and shot from a long distance. Conte sent a wonderful pass. Del Piero shook the ball and knocked it away. Torricelli passed the high ball and Conte came in from behind.
Header goal...
Juventus's offense was getting higher and higher, making Millwall's goal trembling. Fortunately, it did not give the opponent an excellent chance to score, otherwise Bute might not be able to withstand it.
Even if Millwall wanted to waste time with their kicks, they couldn't hold off the opponents' midfielders who were capable of fighting and grabbing.
Deschamps stole the ball from Pirlo's feet and passed it straight. Piero met the ball and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. Southgate blocked it and used his body to block the ball out of the baseline.
The game time has reached the stoppage time. Juventus's army is pressing forward and Millwall's entire army has retreated.
Juventus took a quick corner kick and the ball reached Peixotto's feet. Schneider defended him head-on. Peixotto unexpectedly did not pass the ball but cut inside from the outside. He chose a long shot from a 45-degree angle outside the penalty area.
!
No one thought that he would choose a long shot from such a long distance in this position.
Moreover, the ball was a half-high ball, almost touching the turf and flying towards the goal.
The penalty area was overcrowded. The ball hit Makélélé's calf while rolling, and then changed direction and bounced in front of the penalty area. The speed was still very fast. I don't know who touched it again on the line of the small penalty area, and the ball was slow and slow.
The ball rolled into the goal.
Bute, who was deceived by two refractions, seemed to be unable to save the ball!
"The goal was scored! Juventus got a goal back in stoppage time. This goal will make Lippi leave London with satisfaction. 2:1, Millwall was given an away goal by their opponents. This result allowed them
The gold content of the second goal dropped slightly. It can even be said that the score of 2:1 is far better than 1:0! Who scored this goal? In the slow-motion goal replay, we saw Pessso
Tuo's shot was blocked by Makelele
After a moment, Bute had already lost his center of gravity. He went to pounce on the near corner of the goal. If Makelele didn't block it, he was absolutely sure to save the ball, but Makelele extended his kick and the ball was deflected.
Helguera, who was defending on the line of the small penalty area, was caught off guard. He swung his leg in a hurry to clear the ball but missed the kick. The ball slipped past his feet and then rolled into his own door! After losing the ball, Helguera covered his face and fell to the ground, looking extremely...
Blame yourself!"
When the Juventus soldiers celebrated the goal wildly, Lippi smiled on the coaching bench, and then talked and laughed with his fellow coaching staff in high spirits to celebrate.
Aldridge had the same expression as the fans in the stands, his face was expressionless and slightly pale.
My mood fell from heaven to hell!
Yes, 2:1 is far worse than 1:0.
The most intuitive interpretation is: with a score of 2:1, Juventus only needs 1:0 to advance when they return to home. If it is 1:0, even if Juventus scores 1:0 at home, the two teams will have to play extra time.
hour.
Southgate pulled up Helgra, said something unknown in his ear, and then gently pushed his head, causing Helgra to cheer up quickly.
Injury time has arrived. Millwall quickly launched a wave of attacks after the restart. Finally, Pirlo's long shot missed and the game came to an end.
The fans in the stands also cheered up. No matter what, they were still relatively optimistic.
At the very least, if you win, you will be facing the second round with a leading score, rather than a draw or a total score deficit.
The two teams did not play as earth-shattering an offensive battle today as they did with Barcelona in the group stage. The first ten minutes and the last ten minutes of the game were dominated by the two teams, and the middle 70 minutes was a tug-of-war with not many opportunities.
However, there are still many exciting scenes between offense and defense.
Aldridge walked over to shake Lippi's hand without saying much, then turned around and went to the court to comfort his disciples who were feeling a little disappointed.
The last goal was ruled an own goal. Aldridge was the first to walk up to Hergra, hugged him for a long time, and encouraged him in his ear to make him forget about the own goal.
"Don't blame yourself, look forward so that you can continue to move forward on the road to becoming a world-class central defender. I have confidence in you and no one will blame you. On the contrary, you did a good job today and successfully restricted Del Piero.
, I’m very satisfied with you!”
Elgra gets rid of her psychological shadow in Aldrich's comfort.
Aldrich knew that he had to help Elgra as soon as possible, otherwise, the seeds of self-blame would take root in his heart.
At the end of the game, Millwall players exchanged jerseys with Juventus players, and then they came to the sidelines to thank the fans in attendance for their cheers.
