430 Absolute Suppression

Aldridge has been preparing for eight years to become a head coach, has been officially employed for more than five years, and has been immersed in football for thirteen years. He has already developed his own concept of training players.

Like Lampard, he is somewhat similar to Gerrard, but in terms of training, Aldrich has positioned him in the midfield to serve as Pirlo's substitute. Maybe Lampard is definitely not as good as Pirlo in organizational talent, but he can

To strengthen the defense in the midfield, the offense only requires him to take advantage of every opportunity to shoot long shots like Pirlo. The B2B activity area has not changed, but the tasks on the field are fixed.

Another example is Pedretti, who just trains in the same way as Makelele, allowing him to devote 80% of his energy to defense and the remaining 20% ​​to participate in offensive support. Don’t worry about other things!

Practicing these two items well and excelling in them is definitely more valuable than practicing comprehensive skills.

A player who can advance and retreat and can defend sounds awesome, but as the competition becomes more and more intense, and the gap between the top teams is very small, you want to be invincible when attacking, and rock solid when defending, and one person seems to dominate the court. It's crazy, right?

!

As for Irving, Aldridge no longer has expectations after being disappointed four years ago. Irving's development trajectory is the same as in history. He was a pure shooter and played frequent games in the early stages of his career. He was almost full attendance for two consecutive seasons and did not get a reasonable rest.

, it’s no wonder that in the future he will be riddled with injuries and unable to fully recover.

A type of star that gets sick from overwork. You need to buy this kind of star as soon as possible and wait until he becomes famous. Aldridge needs to give him at least half a year off to recuperate, and he also needs to change his style of play. Anyway, the team is

It is impossible to re-create the technical and tactical system for one player. If you think about it, you will give up.

"The second round of the new Premier League season is about to begin. Liverpool, which defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2:1 away from home in the first round, will usher in the first official home game of the new season. They will face last season's league champion Millwall. Millwall

He quickly entered the game in the new season and easily defeated his city rival Tottenham at home in the first round of the league. Hall declared before the game that he was looking forward to this game. He wanted to compete with the young Liverpool, but I didn't know what he said

It’s true or false, but Liverpool did use a lot of young people in the new season.”

"Millwall's visit as a guest continued their start in the first round of the league, and Liverpool's starting lineup was 442.

Goalkeeper: Sander Westerwerder.

Houllier began to clean up Liverpool's hot guys in the summer. Goalkeeper David James was sent away and replaced by Westerwerder, who was introduced from the Netherlands.

Defenders: Rigobert Song, Stefan Henquez, Sami Hyypia, Dominic Mateo.

Hyypia was unexpectedly awarded the captain's armband by Houllier in the new season. It is hoped that he can shoulder the responsibility of being a role model for the team and lead Liverpool on the road to revival.

Midfielder: Dietmar Hamann, Steven Gerrard, David Simpson. Danny Murphy.

Forwards: Titi Kamara, Michael Owen.

Liverpool has some new summer players in the team, as well as rookies trained by its own youth training. Such a team that looks young both in terms of age and team maturity, I wonder if it can withstand Millwall's super offensive firepower today.

.”

Aldridge looked at the young talents in Liverpool's lineup, especially the midfielders. Except for Dietmar Hamann, who is 26 years old, the other three players are all around 20 years old.

Hamann plays the defensive midfielder, and the other three players may form a small diamond midfielder, or they may be lined up. Who knows, we will see during the game.

Players like Simpson, who were well-known in the youth training of 96 Liverpool in the past few years, soon proved unable to gain a foothold in top-level competitions. His career was rather tortuous. After being abandoned by Liverpool, he came back step by step from the lower leagues. Later, he also

Entering the England national team became an inspirational story, but that was it.

Danny Murphy, Aldridge can only think of him as being talked about as a Manchester United killer, but he can't think of anything earth-shattering he can do on the field.

After the game started, Liverpool took the lead and fell down in the backcourt. After getting into the rhythm of the game, they made a mistake in the first pass forward.

Simpson's through pass to Kamara was easily intercepted by Makelele.

Millwall launched a counterattack on the spot. Makelele handed the ball to Pirlo, and Gerrard was already behind him. Pirlo knocked the ball with his back to Schneider on the wing, who then passed it forward.

Larsson dropped back to receive the ball, but Larsson didn't turn around and hit Nedvěd.

In this way, Millwall's offense became a frontal advance and ran extremely smoothly.

Nedvěd broke through Hamann's defense and came to the penalty area. He drove straight into the penalty area in front of Hyypia. Henry made a diagonal run and hit the goal. The ball missed the post and flew into the stands.

In the past, when Liverpool faced Evans, the opponent would remove a forward and add a defensive midfielder to defend. However, today Liverpool has four midfielders. It does not reduce the forward configuration of two forwards, but compresses the defense in the middle.

Weakened wing defense.

After Millwall opened the game, they played hard in the middle. Liverpool's four midfielders kept retreating and scrambled wildly in front of the back line. Sometimes they failed and Millwall found shooting opportunities. Sometimes they succeeded, but because of the

The distance between the forwards was too long, and the ball could not be found when switching from defense to offense. The ball was quickly lost and the defensive rhythm continued.

Liverpool fell into a passive position after the start.

Houllier looked solemn, and Aldridge didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps he hoped that this group of young players and new players in Liverpool could grow up quickly under pressure.

Aldrich raised his wrist to look at his watch. The first fifteen minutes of the game passed quietly.

He made a gesture on the sidelines to remind the players.

The tactics established before the game remained unchanged, he just asked the players to pay attention to the time.

After being reminded by the coach, the players were united in thinking.

Nedvěd retreated to the midfield to get the ball, which attracted the attention of Gerrard and Murphy. His movement back would make those players who were watching him follow him subconsciously. Then, Nedvěd

After a one-two with Pirlo, the ball returned to Pirlo's feet. The latter passed the ball accurately to Larsson on the right. Larsson dribbled the ball horizontally and got rid of Mateo's defense before passing the ball.

Henry stepped out of the penalty area to receive the ball.

Larson moved forward and seemed to be going straight into the space in the ribs. Hyypia saw that Mateo failed to keep up with Larson, so he moved slightly to the left to block Larson's path.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Millwall's attack from the right. But Henry passed the ball to the left.

Ronaldinho received the ball while cutting in from the wing, and directly left Song behind him. After entering the penalty area, he made a fake move to deceive Henkez. He moved the ball horizontally to create a gap and then fired a powerful shot!

The shot was so powerful that Aldridge thought it would definitely go in!

But goalkeeper Westerwerder bravely blocked the ball with his body!

The ball bounced out of the penalty area, and before Haman was about to make a clearance, someone took the ball forward before him. Nedved!

He followed up with an ordinary volley. After the Liverpool goalkeeper made the save, he fell to the ground and did not get up. He got up in a hurry and it was already too late. The ball went straight into the center of the goal!

"Ronaldinho's shot was saved, and Nedvěd followed up with a follow-up shot! Millwall got an ideal start as a guest at Anfield!"

After scoring the goal, Nedvěd made a "stay away" gesture to his teammates. He was afraid that he would be caught by his teammates or thrown to the ground. He jogged all the way to the visiting team's coaching bench, pointing at Aldrich along the way.

, came to the sidelines and smiled at Aldridge: "Boss, this goal is for your two precious sons. Unfortunately, I failed to score in the last game. Today's goal came a little late. However,

, best wishes to the two little guys!"

Aldridge hugged him tightly and said remorsefully: "Then you should have stopped me from replacing you in the last game."

"No, I know the boss needs us to maintain our physical fitness for the entire season."

"Well done, come on, you are already a legend of Millwall, but you can become a legend of world football!"

"Well, I will work hard. I will keep working hard until the day I can't kick anymore!"

Other players rushed over to join in the celebration, which symbolized the unity of the team, which Aldridge considered more important than anything else.

Watching the players walk back onto the court, Aldrich's eyes changed and he was satisfied with the players' performance just now.

Liverpool compressed the defense in the middle. Millwall attacked the middle to attract the defensive attention, and then quickly moved in a wide range, playing from right to left. Larsson moved to attract attention. Henry suddenly moved, and Ronaldinho unexpectedly broke out.

When Liverpool's defense was stretched horizontally in an instant, Ronaldinho's personal performance had an immediate impact.

Although the goal was scored by Nedvěd, Ronaldinho cut inside to get rid of Song, and had room to move past Henquez. This was the key to the goal. If he had been more tricky in shooting, the goal would have been in his turn.

It wasn't until Nedvěd made a follow-up shot.

In fact, there are almost no top players who can produce in Liverpool. Hyypia has not really entered the ranks of top defenders. Irving should be considered one, but when the midfielder is suppressed, he is a pure player.

The shooter is completely invisible.

Song and Henkelz are the side that Millwall focuses on attacking, but Millwall does not attack this side from the beginning. Instead, they attack the center first, then expand from the right, and finally deliver a fatal blow on the left.

Aldridge didn't pay much attention to Rigobert Song. He was no different from most ordinary players in the Premier League. One-on-one, he was definitely not Ronaldinho's opponent.

But if he knew that this Mr. Song had a nephew, whose surname was of course Song, but his first name was Alexander Song, he would probably have a good chat with this Mr. Song.

After the goal, Millwall still suppressed Liverpool. The opponent wanted to exert force, but could not control the midfield at all. Aldridge never gave privileges to the players on the field. Everyone must participate in defense, and Henry, who plays center, is no exception.

, so even if the attack was frustrated and the ball was lost, the frontcourt players actively counterattacked on the spot, making it impossible for Liverpool to organize an effective attack.

To defeat today's Liverpool, Aldridge believes that the most crucial step is to suppress one player in Liverpool's midfield: Hamann.

This person serves as a defensive midfielder, and defensive steals are his strong point. Once he is stuck, the consequences will be disastrous, and his pivotal role in switching from defense to offense is very obvious. Handling the ball is not gorgeous, but the next option to control the ball is very

Reasonable.

Therefore, Millwall must avoid Hamann when attacking, and Henry must harass Hamann when defending. At the same time, other players must block his path when defending in man-to-man defense. This is what Millwall did very well today and can continue.

Reasons to suppress Liverpool.

The Red Army fans in the stands could only sing.

When playing against ordinary opponents, they would think that players such as Gerrard, Murphy, and Simpson can have high hopes. But today, they only saw the rampaging Gerrard, and Murphy, who could not hold the ball steadily, passing forward continuously.

Simpson made three turnovers, but Harman had the highest passing success rate, but could not support the midfield.

What troubles Red Army fans the most is that today’s opponent is Millwall, whom they don’t want to face, especially the man standing on the sidelines: Aldrich Hall!
