Ronaldo stood in front of the penalty spot preparing to take the penalty kick, which was the most eye-catching part of the game.
But the staff in the live broadcast room had a problem.
Aldridge called Ronaldinho in front of him, but the young coach didn't watch the penalty kick at all. This was obviously an interesting scene, but the live broadcast should always show the penalty kick, right?
The staff had no choice but to ask other cameras to record Aldrich's process and play it back after a while.
After Ronaldinho came to Aldridge, his mind was still on the penalty kick. He turned his head from time to time to look at the situation in his penalty area, but Aldridge reached out and poked his chest and said dissatisfied: "Hey,
Turn around, I'm talking to you!"
Ronaldinho turned to face Aldrich, only to hear Aldrich ask with hidden anger: "What were you doing just now?"
Ronaldinho's eyes wandered and he said with a guilty conscience: "It's all according to what you said. Didn't you say before the game that I should try to make more breakthroughs there?"
Aldrich was a little angry and scolded: "Don't quibble! Do you need me to put on a headset for you and tell you what to do every time you touch the ball? I know what you are thinking, you are continuously intercepted by your opponent.
, if you are not convinced, you just want to get rid of the other party and play with your opponent, don't you?"
Ronaldinho was speechless.
His defense was really weak.
If he was telling the truth, that would be the end of it!
If a player doesn't know how to spot the right moment and make the right choice, what future does he have?
Kick the ball to death, kick the ball to death, no matter how talented you are, it will be of no use!
Aldrich said in a stern tone: "Pass it when it's time to pass it, pass it when it's time to pass it, remember. The game is not a one-on-one contest between you and who you are. Your performance is for the team. Then play hard for me, don't let it go."
I’m going to take you off before the first half is over!”
Four years ago, it would have been impossible for Aldridge to speak to players in this tone, but now that he has coaching qualifications, it is normal to say this.
Ronaldinho nodded, and then Aldridge pulled him over, pushed his back, and let him go on the court.
At this moment, huge cheers came from the Meah viewing platform.
Ronaldo succeeded in shooting from the spot, but the ball was not very fast but flew into the blind corner.
"Inter Milan led the defending champion Millwall 2:0 in the 26th minute of the first half. It seems that after losing many main players, Millwall's overall strength has been overestimated. They almost failed after the start of the game.
Didn't create a threatening offense."
Hodgson was relieved on the coaching bench and showed a smile.
With two goals in hand, Inter Milan had a pretty good start.
Aldridge gave the team a signal and decisively changed the team's offensive and defensive posture.
If you are behind by one goal, you can still maintain a balance of offense and defense. If you are behind by two goals, you can only attack with all your strength. If you lose more or less, you will get zero points. If the final result of the group stage is a tie and the head-to-head record is compared, the probability of that is not very high.
high.
Inter Milan played hard in the middle today. Millwall's disadvantage in the middle was too obvious, so Aldrich made a prompt decision to abandon the attack in the middle and threaten the opponent through wing attacks.
After Millwall kicked off again, Lampard stopped pushing forward and dispatched a kick from the center to the wing.
Gianluca Zambrotta and Schneider boldly advanced to attack.
After such changes, Millwall's offensive threat was immediately revealed.
The reason is also very simple, the wing attack has a numerical advantage!
Ronaldinho met Zanetti again. After the opponent's consecutive successful defenses, he gained experience and was already wary of Ronaldinho's breakthrough route with the ball. As long as Ronaldinho started, he would follow him closely and look for the opportunity to steal the ball.
Down.
Ronaldinho unexpectedly pulled the ball back, and Zanetti was about to step forward to press him. Zambrotta, who was coming up from the side of the ball, flew past him. Ronaldinho passed the ball gracefully, and the ball flew over Zanetti's head.
In the past, Zambrotta received the ball at the baseline and dribbled horizontally.
The full-back reached the bottom line and Inter Milan's defense was penetrated. The defense shrank to protect the dangerous area in front of the goal. Zambrotta knocked the ball back before Zanetti and Bergomi formed a double-team. Ronaldinho just entered the penalty area.
He met the ball from his position and fired a volley.
This shot was of extremely high quality, and it went into the blind spot near the goal.
Unfortunately, Inter Milan goalkeeper Pagliuca showed bravery and blocked the ball from the baseline with one hand.
There were exclamations from the stands, and then thunderous applause, cheering for Pagliuca's performance.
Aldrich looked slightly regretful on the sidelines, then applauded and praised the team's offense.
Just fight like this!
Inter Milan's defense is the weak link. When Millwall quickly passed through the midfield, the opponent's offensive players were unable to defend in time. There were only four defenders and two midfielders on the back line. Playing on the wing only required more people in a short time.
With less playing, Millwall can achieve a high success rate by taking the initiative to pass, cut and move. Even if Coe helps defend the wing and the numbers are balanced 2 vs. 2, Millwall will not fall behind. Simeone does not dare to act rashly, he is deeply aware of the situation.
Knowing that if he leaves the middle, Nedved will become a fatal blow killer.
Millwall quickly took a corner kick. Zambrotta took the ball from the wing and made a pass to deceive Zanetti. Then he went inside and shot a long shot at a 45-degree angle in front of the penalty area!
Pagliuca once again made a contribution. Although the ball caught him a little off guard, he still blocked the ball.
However, the ball landed just in front of Ruud van Nistelrooy. He stopped the ball steadily. West fell to the ground in a hurry and used his body to block his shooting space. Ruud van Nistelrooy calmly spiked the ball and moved sideways.
Push the ball into the goal with one continuous movement!
"Millwall quickly pulled a goal back! The scorer was Ruud Ruud van Nistelrooy. Pagliuca saved Zambrotta's long shot, but he blocked the ball in the penalty area. Dutchman Ruud Ruud was very calm.
, he didn’t shoot the ball right away, otherwise the goal would have been difficult to score. After dunking past West, Ruud van Nistelrooy sent the ball into the goal. Millwall is now only one goal behind.”
Van Nistelrooy rushed into the goal, hugged the ball and ran back.
Logically speaking, he scored Millwall's first Champions League goal this season and should celebrate. However, Millwall already has a tradition that the whole team agrees on: a goal scored when behind will result in a draw as long as the score is not a draw.
.The goal scorer will never celebrate. Seize the time and restart the game. Strive to equalize the score or overtake the opponent as soon as possible!
Aldrich saw the disciples running back collectively and nodded appreciatively.
Although Millwall's strength is not as good as before, their inner temperament has been significantly improved.
They are not like the second- and third-rate teams. As long as they can score a goal against a strong team, no matter the outcome of the game, they will be overjoyed...
Hodgson had nothing to say about the team's conceding the goal. It was obvious that the goal had an element of surprise. But on the football field, such accidents often occur due to the accumulation of advantages.
Inter Milan's frenzied attack in the middle was very effective. They were able to take advantage of the home court and strike first. This was something Aldridge did not expect before the game, and all the media who paid attention to this game also did not guess it when analyzing and predicting before the game.
Hodgson made a dangerous move, concentrating his advantage to hit the center and weaken the side attack.
If this tactic is used in Serie A, it is estimated that Inter Milan will die miserably, especially when encountering anti-counterattack tactics such as Christmas tree defensive or unilateral flying wings, the attack in the middle will be trapped in a quagmire of intensive defense.
But it happened to have a very good effect against Millwall. Aldridge focused on building Nedvěd's offensive power, and the individual abilities of the two wingers also worked wonders. The defensive space in the center was not compressed to one
In the ultimate situation, Inter Milan's frontcourt offensive combination was extremely capable, and it really made Millwall very embarrassed in the middle.
Lampard, in particular, felt like he was out of control today and was repeatedly abused by Baggio. Aldridge did not have any dissatisfaction with Lampard on the sidelines.
This is a normal situation. In the past games, whether in the league or cup, Lampard has almost never played against a first-class strong team, or even a quasi-strong team. Even if he encounters, maybe in a cup, the opponent will not play against him.
Didn't go all out.
So he seemed to have performed well in the past, and today he met Baggio, Djorkaeff, Ronaldo and other extremely powerful offensive opponents in series. Under pressure, he did not lose his mind and use rough fouls to contain the opponent.
It is a good sign to constantly strive to adapt to the opponent's rhythm and gradually improve the success rate of frontal defense.
This is a stage he must go through. Young people have to be bullied and bullied again by masters. Once they get used to being bullied, adapt to it, and improve themselves, their strength will also increase.
I remember that Millwall's midfielder was still humiliated by Socrates' younger brother Layi.
After Millwall pulled a goal back, the two teams entered into a rhythm of playing fast breaks against each other.
Millwall's wing players assisted, and the space in the backcourt became larger. When Inter Milan switched from defense to offense, their frontcourt players played more freely. This was a very big test for Millwall's defense.
.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Grunchard broke through on the right wing. Schneider came up and played a one-on-one with him. Grunchard dribbled the ball laterally and came to the penalty area.
After that, West stepped forward to press him. Seeing the opponent move, Glenchard immediately passed the ball behind the opponent.
"Through ball! Grenchar passed a wonderful ball, and Schneider scored a single goal diagonally!"
Schneider decisively took a shot. Pagliuca flew out without touching the ball, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out!
Aldrich held his head and sighed.
The invisible deterrent effect of a goalkeeper is absolutely there.
When you face a top goalkeeper, you will subconsciously feel that ordinary shots cannot defeat the opponent, so you need to make the quality of the shot higher and pursue more angles.
I'm afraid that's what Schneider thought at the time, but the result was just a little bit worse!
After the ball bounced out, Coe got it. He quickly passed the ball forward. Baggio retreated to get the ball, turned around, and quickly stepped forward. Lampard tried to block it head-on, but Baggio took the ball consciously to the left.
Soar up, that's exactly where Schneider is, and there's no one there now!
Baggio used his speed to break through Lampard from the side in a large open area, and then slowed down when approaching the penalty area. Facing Materazzi's defense, he easily passed the ball diagonally behind the opponent. Ronaldo moved forward to get the ball near the baseline.
, pulled the ball back a step, facing Southgate with his hands behind his back to block him to prevent him from moving any further, Ronaldo made a scissor kick fake move to get out of the angle for a moment, and then lightly picked the ball and passed it.
Makelele, who returned to the penalty area to mark Zamorano, was in tears. Zamorano was about 5 centimeters taller than him. He jumped up hard to fight for the header. Seeing the ball passing over his head, he was sure
, Zamorano next to him should also be unable to touch the ball.
However, just behind Zamorano, Djorkaeff stepped in and outflanked him, heading the ball into the goal with a header.
After Makélélé landed, he glanced at the ball in the goal, then looked back and spread his hands towards Zambrotta, who was shrinking a step slower.
"Inter Milan once again expanded its lead. Djorkaeff scored and the score was 3:1. Today Inter Milan played a very beautiful combination on the offensive end. This is the Inter Milan we expect. Their offense is extremely gorgeous.
Indestructible!"
Aldridge had no complaints about the goal he conceded. He could not blame Zambrotta for failing to block Djorkaeff's header. Offense and defense are a system. When Millwall boldly stepped in for an assist from the wing, it was counterattacked.
The probability of conceding the ball is extremely high. If Schneider had scored the ball just now, the situation would be completely different.
Sometimes it depends on the ability to seize opportunities. For example, Juventus last season. If they can seize the counterattack space exposed during Millwall's mad attack in the final stage, it will not be Millwall's turn to eliminate them at the buzzer at the last moment. (
