When preparing for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Aldrich really imagined how he would respond if Juventus scored a goal.
The first is to change the 4231 to the radical 433. If there is no immediate effect, then change the formation to 4222, strengthen the attack in the middle, and transport the artillery shells from the side.
However, his pre-designed contingency plan was completely ineffective. Juventus was not afraid of Millwall's passing ball. After compressing the space in the center, in that small area, Millwall's five-man offensive combination in the center and front area fell into
In a situation of being surrounded at all levels.
At this time, a surprise player is needed, but it is not a certain player who changes the situation. On Millwall's bench, Ronaldinho has the strongest personal ability. But in this situation, Aldridge does not think Ronaldinho will be able to play.
Perform better than the players on the field, especially at this time, the tacit understanding of the whole team is needed!
At this point, Ronaldinho and the main lineup have not yet reached a "tacit understanding" state.
The game was about to enter stoppage time with 1 minute left. The Juventus fans in the stands of Alpi Stadium were very nervous. In the final stage, Millwall's army pressed forward, and it was intuitively obvious that the Mad Lions were already in ruins!
Juventus's substitutes were standing on the sidelines. It seemed that Lippi was preparing to use substitutions to delay time. If the opponent was allowed to complete this substitution, then Juventus' rhythm would be completely stabilized and the game situation would change.
The earth-shaking changes, Millwall's furious attack, and Juventus' strict defense will have the effect of defeating the enemy, and then the game will be over.
"The game is about to enter full-time stoppage time. Millwall is still attacking tirelessly. Schneider is dribbling the ball forward on the wing. Haha, Juventus doesn't seem to be worried about the German teenager on the wing at all.
Threat, pass the ball? Fighting for the ball will not test the Serie A champion's defense."
Schneider brought the ball to an area about 35 yards in front of the baseline. Three meters in front of him was Pesoto, who was more successful in defending him today. Unless Schneider passed the ball directly without engaging in a one-on-one contest with the opponent, otherwise the strong
The success rate of the attack is not high.
Is it time to pass?
Pesotto lowered his center of gravity and stepped forward to defend. He was not even afraid that Schneider would pass him. So what if he succeeded? The closer he got to the bottom line, the fewer options Schneider had. Relying on his tacit understanding with his teammates, he switched positions to cover.
Can easily neutralize the opponent's attack.
However, Schneider made an unexpected move. He dunked the ball at his feet inside and cut inside with the ball!
Deschamps and Conte, who were defending in the middle, saw this and reflexively stepped forward to block. Schneider made an emergency stop and changed direction to pass, successfully passing Conte, but the space for dribbling the ball was very narrow. His kick
The through ball was blocked by Deschamps with his foot, and the ball bounced to the front of the center. Zidane turned his back and prepared to receive the ball. It seemed that Millwall's attack failed again. Juventus fans were completely relieved.
.
When Lippi saw this scene on the sidelines, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He even hoped in his heart that Zidane would simply kick the ball out of the sideline and let Juventus complete the substitution. He also walked over to give a few words to the substitutes.
The Millwall full-back's signs of moving inside made Lippi feel uneasy.
In regular play, this is definitely a stupid move!
Some teams can only use wingers instead of wingers. The reason is that wingers cut inside or rush into the penalty area to grab points. This is very dangerous. It is good to have an offensive threat, but once the offense on this side fails, the winger behind the winger will
The space is fertile ground for the opponent to counterattack.
The hidden dangers of wingers cutting inside and the pressure they bring to their own defense make it impossible for many teams to use wingers tactically, let alone offensive full-backs? It is also very dangerous for full-backs to go straight up and down to assist on the wing, and full-backs no longer
Once the ball is intercepted when cutting inside, the defense on the same side of the backcourt is not weak, but completely undefended!
But on the other hand, if the full-back successfully cuts in, Juventus' defense will be torn open. In the central area, Millwall's attackers have more people than the opponent's defenders! Because this will also put Juventus' full-backs at a disadvantage.
On the periphery.
To run an offense like this, the requirements are too high. The players' ball control skills, overall movement and interspersed coordination, timing, and quick and accurate delivery of the ball are all very demanding.
Schneider unexpectedly cut inside Conte, but failed to pass the final threatening ball. This was enough to attract Lippi's attention!
Zidane turned his back and prepared to catch the ball. Of course he knew that there was a large space in his right rear, where Schneider assisted, and as long as Juventus counterattacked this time, it would be a killing blow.
The offensive of the dead match!
But before he touched the ball, Makelele, who was at a disadvantage against him and Pirlo throughout the game, sprang out from behind him and stole the ball with one kick. Zidane quickly counterattacked, but Makelele intercepted the ball.
Without stopping after the ball, he kicked the ball to the left wing.
Capdevila rushed up before receiving the ball, dribbling the ball through an inward route. Juventus's midfielder just suffered a loss from Schneider's side. This back and forth took less than 5 seconds.
In the time, Millwall quickly made a steal and launched another attack, which was even more threatening!
Capdevila attracted Davis' defense. Instead of passing through, Capdevila passed the ball to Larsson, who was retreating to cover. Then he rushed forward, like a winger.
Rush forward to attack the opponent's ribs.
The same goes for Schneider on the other side. The two full-backs ran straight into the ribs. In addition, Trezeguet in the middle also turned around to counter offside. Juventus's two full-backs plus two center backs
He was suddenly shocked at the last line of defense.
Deschamps went to press Larsson, but Larsson stepped on him after receiving the ball. When Deschamps moved, he pushed him sideways. Nedved rushed forward with the ball and was about to break through Juventus.
In the midst of a line of defense, Ferrara rushed forward to intercept Nedvěd, and even made up his mind to knock him down outside the penalty area!
However, Nedvěd made an unexpected move. He suddenly stopped suddenly and then pushed the ball sideways. Ballack rushed forward bravely in front of Conte and directly passed the ball through Juventus.
The entire line of defense!
Semi-single sword!
Everyone in the Alpi Stadium became nervous, staring with numb scalps!
Trezeguet pulled horizontally to create space. With a ferocious expression, he shouted to Ballack to pass the ball!
Nedvěd went around to the back point and prepared to outflank. Larsson was able to receive Ballack's back pass on the right side behind Trezeguet and hit the goal.
Juventus' four defenders crowded towards the center. The three midfielders and the trident all ran towards the goal!
A thin line between life and death!
Ballack swings his leg and chooses to shoot by himself.
He wants to be a hero!
At this moment, he remained calm and did not dare to use too much force and knock the ball away. He chose to push the ball into the far corner!
Aldrich didn't dare to blink. He didn't know that his clenched fists were shaking at this moment, and his nails had scratched his palms.
The whole place was in an uproar!
Ballack's shot was saved!
Although Peruzzi was a little fat, he fell to the ground very quickly. After falling sideways, he blocked the ball with one hand and the ball bounced out!
Just when the Juventus fans were lamenting that they had survived the disaster, the ball landed in the middle of the penalty area. A figure floated over and volleyed against the falling ball!
The ball flew like a meteor to the lower right corner of the goal, still on the side where Peruzzi fell to the ground, and passed through Deschamps, then quickly passed between Montero's legs, and finally...
The net nest kept rotating, and the speed became slower and slower. It became still!
"Pirlo! Pirlo! Pirlo saved Millwall! He beat Juventus! Kill! Kill! Kill! Millwall climbed back from the death line. There is only one ticket to heaven.
, just when Juventus was about to open the door to heaven, Pirlo kicked Juventus into hell. He led Millwall to start the countdown now. Just waiting for the end of the game, they would open the door with a smile and bathe in it.
In light and glory!”
During the entire 90 minutes of the game, Pirlo had zero direct threat to the Juventus goal. At this moment, perhaps he should be grateful that he was not fast, so when attacking, he was not as fast as his teammates and not as fast as Juventus.
Because of the speed with which Sis returned to defense, all Juventus players rushed past him to return to defense, and he only ran to the line of the penalty area when Peruzzi blocked Ballack's shot.
But just because he didn't overshoot, he happened to catch the ball where it landed, and then sent the ball into the Juventus goal with a calm and composed mentality and excellent footwork.
After Pirlo scored, he looked like a wild cat with exploded hair, roaring and running towards the visiting team's bench. All the players on the Millwall team were chasing his back.
The bench was boiling with excitement. The coach and players all rushed out. After Aldridge saw the goal, the referee pointed his finger to the center line to confirm that the goal was valid. He also lost control and roared with a slightly distorted expression.
, reflexively rushed into the field to find Pirlo. He ran a few steps and then jumped up and waved his fist wildly in the air. His body could not stop shaking. It was excitement, which was caused by the surge of adrenaline.
body reaction.
After Pirlo and Aldrich rushed together, the two hugged each other's faces with their hands and roared together to vent their passion.
Players and substitutes who came from all directions gathered them in the center, and then hugged them tighter and tighter, forming a big circle.
The Alpi Stadium was completely silent, and the fans in the stands held their heads in their hands and could not accept the result of being defeated.
The Juventus players couldn't accept it even more. Peruzzi smashed his fists on the ground and kept roaring.
Lippi was expressionless on the sidelines. He canceled the substitution because his original substitution was to replace one of the two forward players with a defensive player.
Now, Juventus needs to score goals, and even if they can score a goal, it will have to go into overtime, so he can no longer replace offensive players.
After Millwall's celebration ended, Aldridge quickly pulled up Materazzi and Gattuso, who were wearing substitute jerseys, and quickly arranged their tasks after taking the field. At the same time, he pointed at the two men on the sidelines.
Jensen made a gesture, and he immediately understood, change the person!
Before retreating to the sideline, Aldridge kept reminding each player of the changes in position on the field. There was still one minute of stoppage time, and maybe one more minute, but Millwall had to change its formation.
If you still play 4222, that will definitely not work.
As Juventus lined up for kick-off, Millwall made their last two substitutions.
Materza comes on and replaces Trezeguet.
Gattuso comes on, replacing Pirlo.
Materazzi played as a sweeper after coming on, and Millwall's defense retreated completely to compress the space in the backcourt.
The barrier in front of the back line is Gattuso - Makelele - Barak - Nedved.
Only one Larson is left to serve as the arrow figure in the middle. (To be continued...)
