--------------------------
With two goals in hand, and they were away goals, with 30 minutes left in the game, Aldrich began to change the formation, letting Nedvěd's position retreat, and turned into a 442 midfielder small diamond formation.
At this time, Millwall needs to steadily control the rhythm and the best thing to do is strengthen the midfield. They already have certain advantages in the midfield. If Nedvěd returns, he can firmly control the situation in his own hands.
Bayern Munich began to launch a wild attack, and the two sides were fighting vigorously. However, they lacked a connection point in the middle and a fatal blow point in the penalty area. Elber alone was unable to support him and even grabbed a header.
There are no high points.
While Hitzfield was preparing to fight with all his strength, Aldridge got angry on the sidelines.
He roared angrily at a player on the field, but maybe he was too far away and the other player couldn't hear what he was shouting.
This player is Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho, who was playing more and more vigorously, would attack forward non-stop as soon as he touched the ball, without any hesitation.
His move of dribbling the ball forward involuntarily prompted Henry, Larsson, and Nedved to step forward, otherwise he would be isolated.
And this is contrary to Aldrich's tactical requirements.
Blindly playing fast is not the best option. Millwall now needs to use control to consume Bayern Munich. As time goes by, Bayern Munich must be more and more impatient. At the same time, Millwall can use the midfield advantage to force all the opponent's attacks.
Players have to participate in defense. And the defensive players in the backcourt may also rush forward rashly to press. At that time, better opportunities will appear.
However, Ronaldinho switched from defense to attack and rushed forward after receiving the ball. Once the attack failed, he would give the opponent space to counterattack. At the same time, because the offensive player stayed in the frontcourt, he was in an excellent position to receive the ball.
Even though Ronaldinho performed brilliantly beyond expectations, he was not mature enough, and at this time he exposed his shortcomings of declining tactical discipline in an excited state.
Heathfield's substitution was imminent, but Aldridge was also making a substitution at the same time.
"Millwall and Bayern Munich made substitutions at the same time! Bayern Munich seems to be fighting, Ziegler replaces Anderson. This tall man of nearly 1.9 meters will directly threaten Millwall's goal. Sergio
Replacing Jerry Mays, Hitzfield hoped that the 30-year-old Sergio could provide help through experience in the middle. Millwall unexpectedly replaced Ronaldinho, who performed well, and Lampard took over.
He enters."
Ronaldinho was a little unhappy when he found out that he had been substituted. When he walked to the sidelines, he asked Aldrich in confusion: "Boss, why did you replace me?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. After the game, you and I will have an important conversation."
Aldrich responded to him very quickly, then patted his shoulder and asked him to sit back.
Ronaldinho's interest was not over. It is natural for him to be depressed when he was suddenly substituted.
After Bayern Munich and Millwall made substitutions at the same time, Millwall's attacks on the field weakened. However, they strengthened their midfield control. Pirlo stepped up to play as an attacking midfielder. Nedvěd and Lampard formed a double central midfielder. Bayern Munich
Still mainly attacking from the wing, and began to frequently pass high balls.
The game showed a completely different situation. When Bayern Munich attacks quickly, Millwall's successful defense will steadily control the rhythm of the game and patiently look for opportunities. With the number of attacks reduced, the threats created by the offense are getting higher and higher.
In the 79th minute of the game, Henry and Larsson played two-on-one on the front line. After Henry suddenly chose to break out in front of Kufuor, he entered the penalty area and fired a shot that was blocked by Kahn. Pirlo followed up.
The long shot bounced off the crossbar.
"Millwall almost expanded the score again. Although Bayern Munich attacked more fiercely, they were a bit gambling on luck, while Millwall's offense was clearly threatening. It is a pity that Henry's shooting angle would be more tricky.
Some, or if Pirlo can press the ball, they will send Bayern Munich into the abyss."
The game entered the last ten minutes of regular time, and the scene became increasingly fierce, with both sides fighting for every inch of ground.
In the 86th minute, Lizarazu dribbled the ball through the base. He faked a pass in front of Schneider and then spiked the ball back to his position. He passed the ball low and passed it to Elber. He got the ball in the penalty area.
Elber turned around and was about to shoot, but his performance was substandard and the kick was flawed!
However, his flawed ball hit Materazzi's leg and bounced towards the center of the goal. The long-legged Ziegler fell down smartly and kicked the ball into the goal.
I am afraid that Hitzfeld did not expect this goal, at least replacing Ziegler was to increase the high points in the penalty area.
"Bayern Munich pulled one back! It's back to life! Ziegler came on the field and made a contribution. Although the goal was lucky, the goal cannot be ignored. 1:2, can Bayern Munich score another one at the last moment?"
Effenberg boosted the morale of the team and strived for another victory in the final stage.
Aldridge put his hands on his hips and showed no signs of nervousness. He took ten thousand steps back. Even if the score was really equalized, Millwall would definitely accept it.
At this time, what is tested is the team's willpower.
After the game restarted, Bayern Munich pressed forward with full pressure, and there was not much time left.
As soon as they pressed forward, Millwall's frontcourt offensive players also began to move, leaving a huge vacuum in the midfield.
Lampard passed the ball to Nedvěd, who took the ball directly past Sergio, and then walked forward through the middle. Effenberg just grabbed Lampard too much and turned back.
The pursuit distance is obviously too far.
All the way to the penalty area, Nedved was not hindered. In the dense area in the middle, Millwall suddenly formed a local numerical advantage.
After Nedved passed the ball to Pirlo, he started to move forward, Henry also moved forward, and Larsson pulled out to provide support.
Pirlo handed the ball to Larsson without hesitation. The latter passed the ball diagonally to the other side, and the ball passed diagonally between Kufuor and Link.
Both thought Nedvěd and Henry would be offside, but Babel, who was shrinking towards the center on the other side, covered the tail and the center was penetrated.
Nedvěd took the ball on the left side of the goal and made a decisive cross. When Kahn moved to the other side, he could only watch as Henry easily shot the ball into the goal.
"The two teams each scored a goal within one minute! Henry scored twice. He helped the team continue to lead Bayern Munich with a two-goal advantage. This goal was too bad for Bayern Munich. They were eager to equalize the score and pressed forward with all their strength.
Millwall easily penetrated the back line, and Kufuor and Link probably thought they were in the middle.
There will be a central defender to intercept, but neither of them can keep track of the players they should keep track of. From this point of view, 1:3 is a better advantage for Millwall than 0:2! Because if Bayern Munich plays this game
They can’t score any more goals and will go to London in the next round. If they want to advance, they must score at least three goals!”
Just as they pulled a goal back and saw a glimmer of hope, they were hit again less than a minute later, and the Olympiastadion in Munich fell into silence.
Aldridge made a hand-down gesture to the players on the sidelines, asking them to calm down and not be careless because they scored the third goal.
Many strong teams have talent but no tenacious willpower, and are often defeated in this situation. On the contrary, Bayern Munich's willpower cannot be ignored. As long as the game is not over, Millwall cannot relax at all.
After the restart, Bayern Munich learned their lesson and did not dare to press too hard. After Millwall got the ball, they began to kill time. In addition, Aldrich used his substitutions one after another to strengthen the defense. The final score of the game did not change.
changes occur.
"1:3, the whole game ends. This score must be beyond everyone's expectation. Last season, it was here. Bayern Munich defeated Millwall 1:0 in 90 minutes and eliminated the opponent in a penalty shootout 120 minutes later.
Years later, the same two teams met again at the same venue. Millwall
Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3:1 in 90 minutes. On the way to the semi-finals, Millwall gained a huge lead. Bayern Munich went to London in the next game. If the opponent did not score, at least
To score 3 goals to make a comeback is probably an impossible task."
After the game, Hitzfield took the initiative to shake hands with Aldrich.
He had to admit that when he played against Aldridge again a year later, the opponent made Millwall stronger. The process of three goals reflected Millwall's improvement. This is the credit of the coach. At the same time, Millwall
My tactical discipline and tactical execution on the court have also reached a level of qualitative change.
Aldridge quickly left the court. On the court, Henry raised his fists and looked happy. He was sure that he would enter the Champions League semi-finals with the team for the third time in three years. He was even more confident about reaching the final.
No matter who the opponent is in the semifinals.
The entire Millwall team thanked the fans who came to the away game to cheer them on, while many Bayern Munich players left the field early with their heads down.
At the post-match press conference, Aldridge flatly denied that Millwall had advanced to the semi-finals. He said that the game lasted 180 minutes, and the result could only be determined at the end of the last second. No matter how slim the probability is on the football field,
It's all possible.
When asked about the secret to defeating Bayern Munich, Aldridge gave the credit to his players.
"They train hard, prepare for the game, adjust themselves before the game, and perform on the spot. They use the facts and results to confirm an eternal truth: only after they sweat can they have the opportunity to reap. This is also Millwall's
According to football philosophy, we never think that victory will come easily. Only by working harder and paying more than others can we win the victory."
As for the German reporter's belief that Bayern Munich lacks attention to Millwall and that Hitzfeld's attempt to use last year's method to deal with Millwall was outdated, but his hands were tied. Aldrich was unwilling to comment.
It is difficult to say that all the blame lies with Hitzfield. This is to belittle Millwall's victory, especially last year when Hitzfield was the winner. Winners will not take the initiative to change. This is an unspoken rule in football circles.
Has anyone ever seen a champion make drastic reforms?
Who else has seen a famous coach make major changes to the team's tactics on the road to continuous victory?
A winning team, a team that is accustomed to winning, often only makes up its mind to reform and enter the cycle of rebirth when it suffers a tragic defeat at a certain point in time.
Bayern Munich was in full swing before this, and today's unexpected defeat at home may be an opportunity for change, but maybe not, because they just lost to Millwall and did not derail themselves against many of Europe's top teams.
After the game, the team quickly packed up and got on the plane back to London. Most of the players began to adjust themselves after getting on the plane to calm down their excitement. Some players were reading books, some players got together to play poker, and some players
The ones are listening to music.
Ronaldinho was listening to music. At this time, Aldridge sat down next to him, with a serious and scary expression. (To be continued...)
