The league match with Chelsea gave the outside world a strong sense of contrast. In the past few years, Millwall and Chelsea have always played very fierce games, but in this game, the intensity has decreased and the hostile atmosphere has also subsided.
, the outside interpretation is that Millwall disdains to put Chelsea on the level of its competitors, and Chelsea is more distracted by issues in the locker room.
Aldridge had no interest in Chelsea's chaos, and after the game he said lightly that it was time to start the next game and left early.
Next, Aldridge will lead the team to Milan, and he announced the squad before Tuesday.
This time, he did not send out all the main players or all substitutes. He used a mixed combination method. The frontcourt players were the main lineup and the backcourt lineup was the substitute lineup. He planned to use offense to suppress AC Milan, and at the same time, let the young defense line
Withstand more severe tests and accelerate their growth.
On the morning of the expedition, Aldrich heard the phone call at home as soon as he got up.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Aldrich, can you guess who I am?"
"Jessica, you deliberately lowered your voice because you thought I couldn't hear it?"
"Hehe, Aldrich, my mother and I are also going to Milan. Do you have time to play with us?"
Aldrich thought for a while. Ms. Rowling has been very busy in the past year because the "Harry Potter" series has been a hit. She wants to continue to create follow-up works to continue this good momentum.
It's okay to relax once in a while.
"But I don't have much time. I have at most one day after the game and I have to go back to London on Thursday night."
"That's enough. We only have two days in Milan. We will go on Wednesday morning. We will go shopping during the day and go to your game in the evening. If you have time on Thursday, we can go shopping in other places in Italy and then go home in the evening.
"
"Well, it should be no problem. When you go to Italy, be careful on the way."
"Yes. Thank you for your concern. Goodbye. Oh, by the way, I wish you win the game!"
"Thank you. Say hello to your mother for me."
After hanging up the phone, Aldrich smiled and his mood suddenly became good.
He led the team to Milan with a very relaxed mood.
However, the Italian media described this Champions League group match between AC Milan and Millwall at the San Siro as a "decision of life and death"!
If AC Milan wants to qualify, they must win!
Millwall holds nine points and will definitely qualify as long as they win one more game. They are in a very comfortable situation.
When Millwall came to Milan, the Italian media followed them all the way, from the ease with which they prepared for the game to the seriousness when they stepped on the field. They reported everything about Millwall in detail. It seemed that the media in Milan wanted to help them.
AC Milan's strategy is to hope that the Rossoneri can stage a desperate counterattack and defeat this invincible team.
On Wednesday night, Aldridge stepped into the San Siro, wearing a slim-fitting coat. In this fashion capital, he is a football coach and does not fall out of style.
He stood on the sidelines and looked around the stadium, which was his habit, especially when he stepped into a stadium for the first time.
In fact, this is his second time here. The last time he came here was last year, where he had a hearty battle with Inter Milan and Millwall staged a great comeback.
The last time I came here, this place was called Meazza. Today, the name here is San Siro. The stadium has not changed, but the atmosphere has changed and the colors have changed, from blue and black to red and black.
Before coming to Milan, Aldrich called Galliani and asked for two VIP tickets for Rowling and her daughter. During the day, Galliani had asked someone to send them to her. Now, the mother and daughter were sitting
The stands looked down on the court, and the seats had a good view, but they could not see the details on the court at all. However, they still saw Aldridge standing motionless on the sidelines, with the surrounding cameras or reporters' cameras focused on him.
A man who is bound to be the center of attention whenever he enters the football field.
Aldridge put his hands in the pockets of his coat, and after calmly observing the court, he walked to the coach's bench and stood.
The Rossoneri fans created a huge momentum in the stands to cheer for their beloved team.
"The fourth round of the European Champions League Group H group stage is about to begin. AC Milan, which is at the bottom with one point from three games, will face Millwall, which has won three games. Two weeks ago, the two teams had a big battle at Wembley.
Millwall won a complete victory and AC Milan lost completely. The result of that game led to what if today
If AC Milan cannot win, it is very likely that they will be eliminated from the group. Even the theoretical chances of qualifying have become slim or disappeared. We can see that Millwall did not field the strongest lineup today, and the combination of midfield and frontcourt personnel has not changed.
Luo sits in the midfield as the commander, Nedved, Larsson, Henry
Leigh, Ronaldinho is attacking the city from the front, and the person protecting him behind Pirlo is Gattuso. Millwall's absolute main midfielder Makelele is injured and cannot play, and today the pressure on Gattuso will be
Extraordinarily huge, because he needs to protect a young back line, Ferreira, Neal, Ba
Erzali, Ashley Cole, these are Millwall's four defenders today. No player is the absolute main force of Millwall. Only Neil is over 20 years old. Butt guards the city gate. Today he
Be careful, there is no Southgate or Materazzi he can trust in front of him."
AC Milan still put out a strong attack today. After losing to Millwall two weeks ago, they played three league games and performed well, winning two and drawing one. Especially in the Milan derby, they defeated Inter Milan as a guest.
In terms of morale, apart from being under huge pressure, at least the past three league games have allowed AC Milan to regain their confidence and form.
The Rossoneri had a last-ditch battle today. Millwall had no points pressure. Aldridge chose the tactic of using offense to deter his opponents.
Zaccheroni looked serious, while Aldrich looked calm.
When the game started, Zaccheroni's expression changed several times. He felt sorry for the team's missed opportunities and was disappointed or angry because of the players' mistakes. However, Aldrich's expression did not change from beginning to end and he calmly observed the situation on the court.
, do not reveal inner thoughts easily.
Galliani was sitting in the stands watching the game. He was also very nervous. If AC Milan were eliminated in the group stage, the Serie A champion would be too humiliated. Assuming last year's qualifying rules, it would be okay, but this year it only needs to be second in the group.
We will be able to securely enter the top 16, but we will not be able to defeat Millwall.
Fans complained the most, but they were squeezed out of the top 16 by Hertha Berlin and Galatasaray. Who can Milan fans accept? Then Galliani, who single-handedly controls the transfer operation, will fall into a situation of accusation and questioning.
, who prevented him from helping AC Milan recruit stronger players in the summer.
AC Milan still plays three defenders today. Aldrich doesn't understand, really doesn't understand, whether Zaccheroni doesn't have the guts to change the formation, or is facing this AC Milan lineup, he doesn't know how to change.
Sometimes changing the formation is easy to say, but it is actually very difficult. First, there must be suitable players after the change of formation, secondly, whether the team can adapt to the tactical system after the change, and finally, the personal situation of the players after the change must also be considered.
, some players did not accept it, some players were sacrificed due to formation changes, leading to conflicts and other factors.
What Aldridge doesn't understand is that the three defenders are obviously unable to defend against Millwall's attacking group. Since it has been proven that playing like this is a failure, what's wrong with changing it? It doesn't change anyway, so it is reasonable to fail again.
Already.
After spending the first 10 minutes of testing and adapting, the two teams got into action.
In the 16th minute, AC Milan's three-back system was penetrated by Millwall.
Pirlo's scalpel-like through ball not only penetrated the midfield line, but also sent the ball directly to the ribs on the left side of the penalty area. Ronaldinho cut forward and got the ball. Sala was beaten by Ronaldinho in the last game.
Damn, I deliberately kept my distance from the central defender today and moved inwards.
He defended Ronaldinho head-on, close to the bottom line of the penalty area. When he thought Ronaldinho would dribble the ball and move outward to get an open pass or shoot, Ronaldinho did the opposite and was less than one meter away from the bottom line.
With a short distance, Ronaldinho chose to go straight to the bottom. When passing Sala, Ronaldinho left the ball in the bounds, and half of his body was out of the baseline. Everyone was stunned by that scene.
Ronaldinho's left half of his body was out of bounds and his right foot controlled the ball inside the bounds. After passing Sala, the AC Milan defender was shocked and attracted defensive players to block him. Ronaldinho kicked the ball back to the arc of the penalty area in the gap between people.
On the top, Nedved advanced to meet the ball and volleyed the ball into the goal.
"This is a goal with almost the same trajectory as when the two teams met in the first round. Ronaldinho entered the penalty area from the left to attract the attention of the defensive players, and then passed the ball to the top of the triangle penalty area at the right time.
Nedvěd stepped in to grab the ball before the AC Milan midfielder could destroy it and then shot. AC Milan seemed to have not learned the lesson from the previous round's disastrous defeat. This kind of conceding is the most disappointing. It was used by the opponent.
Defeated twice in the same way, this also shows that three defenders are simply the wrong choice at Millwall!"
Aldridge smiled on the sidelines and then gave a thumbs up to Ronaldinho and Nedved.
Since AC Milan still insists on using three defenders, Millwall's goal is not surprising.
A more intuitive interpretation is that if Sala is far away from central defender Costacurta, Ronaldinho can move forward into the space between the two, and Sala shrinks to get closer to Costacurta, and the space on the wing is huge. If
The winger could not defend in time to follow Ronaldinho. After Ronaldinho got the ball, he only had frontal defensive pressure. He killed Sala and Milan's defensive system collapsed.
If there are four backs, the space between the center back and the full back will become narrow. Even if the winger moves forward, the center back does not have to worry. The full back is close and can quickly help defend and form front and rear double teams for the winger.
AC Milan has reached the edge of despair, but the loss of the goal is not too heavy a blow to the players, because they knew before the game that if they want to reverse their destiny, they must win. One of the basic conditions for winning is to score goals.
.
Aldridge watched the game from the sidelines and frowned as he watched.
Although AC Milan's three-back defense is not very good in his eyes, when attacking, the midfielder does have a great advantage. This advantage comes from the increase in forward ball points.
Millwall's frontcourt players return to mark people, so they can't be marked to death. If they can be marked to death, they have to use the full-court pressing tactics like the basketball court. But this kind of tactics is unconventional and cannot last 90 minutes.
They all use this kind of defensive strategy. In particular, man-to-man marking is very dangerous. If one-on-one fails, the whole defense may collapse.
AC Milan automatically adjusts its defensive strategy on the field and strengthens its control of the midfield. It never gives Pirlo the opportunity to command and dispatch from a distance to easily penetrate the defense. If Millwall wants to attack smoothly, the frontcourt players must retreat in a wide range.
, and Millwall's players did the same thing. They played very patiently in offense. AC Milan almost relied on their defensive numerical advantage and hard work to make up for their technical and tactical weaknesses. However, their offensive methods seemed a bit monotonous, so they just stepped aside.
The personal abilities of road players make a fuss.
If it was two weeks ago, Millwall would not be afraid of this kind of offensive method at all, and they would simply want the opponent to play like this. However, today Millwall's two full-backs are newcomers to the top level, and they really can't stop the two full-backs of AC Milan.
