At halftime, Aldrich's request to the players was just a temporary solution.
But in the second half, Millwall's seemingly blind big-footed clearance had a miraculous effect.
Such a miraculous effect is not just a big kick from the defender, Henry in the frontcourt becomes a one-man strike as soon as he gets the ball. In that case, Real Madrid will not reach the semi-finals.
After three consecutive clearances and the ball reaching the backcourt and being controlled by Real Madrid, Aldrich reorganized the offense and observed the entire process from the sidelines, and then discovered a piece of information that surprised him.
After Real Madrid reorganized the offense from the backcourt, it suddenly became difficult and the offense could not be guaranteed to be smooth!
Aldrich instantly understood the mystery behind this.
When attacking in a positional battle, Real Madrid's players, the double forwards Anelka and Morientes, and the false wing forwards Raul and McManaman, are forward. It is common for them to move inside and outside the dangerous area of the penalty area.
Carlos and Salgado also assisted, and Redondo organized or supported in the middle. In a wave of forward positional warfare offensive, due to the large number of Real Madrid attackers, they had many contact points and could
Let the offense move forward smoothly.
The key link was the final blow. Millwall destroyed the last stage of the offensive in the penalty area. Then, Millwall's defensive player made a huge clearance and the ball flew to Real Madrid's backcourt.
Helguera is the defensive midfielder when Real Madrid attacks. Usually he can grab the spot, control the ball and then move forward to reorganize the attack.
At this time, Real Madrid's problem arises!
If those players who have already moved to the front cannot withdraw together to become a connecting point and play a role in connecting the attack, then Real Madrid's offense will be out of touch. There are many people in the frontcourt and few in the midfield, and there is a lack of options for the ball route.
Another important reason for this phenomenon is the Millwall players' ability to run without the ball, defensive tactical awareness and discipline. They immediately re-defense after the defensive player clears the ball, and the players quickly return to their positions.
Go to the area that you are responsible for, form a zone defense with your teammates, and be orderly at every level. Cut up Real Madrid's offensive formation, and then completely target the Real Madrid players who have not retreated to respond.
This is the issue that Aldridge tirelessly inculcates into players about the concealment of the offensive point, as well as an important manifestation of the awareness of running without the ball and catching the ball in training.
The first offensive threat of Real Madrid's frontal attack lies in the unpredictability of players' movements when advancing from the center to the frontcourt. You can't predict whether Carlos will pull out to the bottom or cut inside to prepare for a shot, nor can you predict
In a static defense, completely freezing an opponent who is sprinting at full speed and may change direction in the running route.
However, after the first wave of offensive was contained, these Real Madrid offensive players did not withdraw immediately. When they re-completed the "back-to-front" impact offensive, they fell into the chain defense network woven by Millwall.
Just fell into the quagmire.
In the 58th minute, Real Madrid once again reorganized the offensive from the backcourt. Redondo returned to the midfield to support him, but Ronaldinho was harassing him. So he chose to pass the ball to Raul, but the ball was completely blocked by a Millwall player.
Anticipating the situation, Pirlo came out halfway to stop the ball, and then Millwall launched a quick counterattack on the spot.
After Pirlo, Nedvěd, Lampard, and Ronaldinho passed the ball in three passes, the ball came to Ronaldinho's feet. At this time, he had already reached the penalty area of Real Madrid. He then interacted with Nedvěd.
After a one-two, he dribbled the ball down to the bottom and pushed the ball horizontally in front of the baseline to the penalty spot in the triangle penalty area.
Henry suddenly retreated after pressing the goal, waiting for Ronaldinho's pass. In front of Campo, Henry calmly smashed the ball past the opponent after getting the ball. Campo lost his center of gravity, and Henry and the first half
Ronaldinho's opening goal shot was from almost the same position, but he was more decisive than Ronaldinho. He didn't try to shake the goalkeeper, but just hit it hard.
Casillas heard a shout in his ear, and the ball flew into the goal from beside his head.
"2:3, Henry scored. This shooter opened the gap with Raul in the Champions League scorer list. He scored one more goal than Raul! This goal conceded by Real Madrid came from Redondo.
The pass was wrong, and we also saw the tacit understanding of Millwall's offensive players on the counterattack.
, only such a tacit understanding can produce such smooth, fast and efficient teamwork! What should Real Madrid do? The Bernabeu has fallen into silence. Many fans shook their heads in the stands, unable to understand the team's performance and why they failed to score in the second half.
, but lost the ball again!”
As Henry celebrated with his teammates on the sidelines, live footage captured Aldridge grabbing a Millwall substitute and giving the player some advice.
"It's strange that Hall's team has just taken the lead against Real Madrid again, but he is preparing to replace him with a striker. Doesn't he still think the 3:2 advantage is not enough?"
The person who was pulled by Aldrich to assign playing tasks was Klose.
When Aldridge discovered Real Madrid's inability to organize the attack from back to front, he immediately asked Klose to warm up.
This has nothing to do with whether Henry scored a goal. It can only be said that the time of Henry's goal coincided with the time Aldrich was preparing to make a substitution, which was about 60 minutes.
Real Madrid fans watched in disbelief at the Bernabeu as Aldridge walked to the sidelines to watch substitute Miroslav Klose come on.
Put up a striker, take out a midfielder!
Real Madrid fans have never seen opponents make substitutions, but when they come to the Bernabeu and lead the score, they change forwards to continue to strengthen the offense and weaken the defense. This is very rare.
Henry's goal pushed Real Madrid into a desperate situation, and at the same time, Aldridge's substitution also pushed Del Bosque to the edge of the cliff.
Take a look.
Millwall adds a forward and removes a midfielder.
What about Real Madrid?
When a goal was needed, Bosque did not dare to move.
At least in theory, if Millwall loses a midfielder, the defensive pressure on Real Madrid's offense will be reduced.
If Bosque wants to move, he can only make substitutions to maintain enough offensive pressure.
The player Klose replaced was Lampard. Aldridge slapped Lampard hard on the sidelines and was very satisfied with the young player's performance today.
Lampard himself blames himself a bit. He feels that he is still a little unstable on the court. He is full of physical energy and sometimes runs blindly. His strength is not used in the right place. When the team conceded the first goal, he did not respond to the card.
Los' long-range shot caused interference and did not help Makelele block Raul, which made him realize that he still had many shortcomings.
Klose came on the court, and Aldridge made a few gestures on the sidelines. Real Madrid hadn't kicked off yet, and the players could calm down and take in Aldridge's adjustments.
Crazy Lion Transformation.
From 4321 to 4231. Or rather 433.
Makelele and Pirlo double as defensive midfielders, one to intercept and the other to lay down the organization.
Nedvěd is a central midfielder, but since he is a perpetual motion machine in the midfield and cannot run to death, he is completely fine in b2b, so he actually has no specific position. The key is where he appears when he is needed on both offense and defense.
Ronaldinho is the left winger, Klose is the center forward, and Henry is the right winger.
The game has reached this moment. Real Madrid must sink their boats!
However, due to problems with their formation and players' personal activity areas. Even if Millwall removes a midfielder, at least the defense in the center will not be a problem. From this moment on, Aldridge will seize the game from Real Madrid.
Dominance, he wants Millwall to take control of the situation and dominate the Bernabeu!
The situation now is completely different from the situation at the beginning, especially the mentality of Real Madrid players has undergone tremendous changes. The numbers on the scoreboard linger in their minds like a nightmare.
Real Madrid launched an attack immediately after the kick-off. The wing is their world. After all, their wing players are very capable. This is a fact. However, the relative emptiness in the center is the biggest flaw in their defense.
Real Madrid's offense then showed a regular pattern.
They can advance the offense to both wings of Millwall's penalty area, and then, whether it is a penetrating through ball, a personal breakthrough, or a cross ball, the threats they can play are very limited. Millwall compresses the defensive area and does not give the opponent room to display.
.
After Millwall's successful defense, it immediately formed a huge pressure advantage in the midfield.
The key figure at this time became Makelele.
When Real Madrid switches from offense to defense, the offensive players in the frontcourt will immediately restrict Pirlo and stifle the most offensive and creative part of Millwall's midfield.
But Makelele's technical ability is not a pure defensive player. He just does his job well. In addition, opponents despised Pirlo during the stage of Pirlo's rise. As a result, Pirlo had a lot of room for free play. Makelele naturally became
Overshadowed by Pirlo's offensive talent.
When Real Madrid players surrounded Pirlo like a pack of wolves, Makelele stepped forward. Pirlo cleverly used his movement to cover Makelele, allowing Makelele to calmly become a key link in the connection between the front and backcourt.
When the ball came from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Millwall's offensive advantage was clearly visible.
Klose also comes on the field with tactical instructions and tasks. In the center position, what he needs to do well is to provide support!
He provided cover for Henry, who had moved to play winger. This was not a conventional tactic or requirement, but what Klose had to do under today's special circumstances.
Because Henry's advantage is too great. When Carlos assists and cannot come back, Henry is completely free on the right.
In the 76th minute, Millwall's offense had twists and turns. Ronaldinho copied the process of scoring in the first half. He cut inside and walked to the middle, then kicked the wall in front of Klose and then entered the penalty area. However, this time his shot was blocked.
Silas refused.
Nedved, who followed up, took another long shot, but Karanka blocked it with his body.
At this time, Real Madrid's frontcourt offensive players had retreated and found that the team's defense was successful. Helguera took the ball and passed it forward, so everyone began to move forward and intersperse. As a result, the ball was passed by the close Mark at the feet of McManaman.
Lailai intercepted the ball, and the latter passed the ball directly to Nedvěd.
Nedvěd got the ball and turned around, scanned the situation in front of him, and passed the ball directly to the right side of the penalty area.
Carlos ran upwards again, and Henry was only three meters away from him, but Carlos had to stop and turn back to catch up, which obviously made it impossible to catch up with Henry, who started sprinting before him without the ball.
Henry cut the ball in from the right, aimed at the far corner of the goal and fired a low shot. Casillas fell to the ground and took a step slower, looking at the ball flying towards the goal from his right hand in panic.
The audience at the scene could see more clearly that this goal could not be scored!
Henry's angle wasn't tricky enough.
However, when the ball passed behind the goal, someone happened to arrive at this point and sent the ball into the empty goal.
"Ronaldinho scored twice! He scored twice at the Bernabeu! At 2:4, Real Madrid trailed Millwall by two goals. In the second half, Millwall played more tactically, which allowed their shots to
The number of times and threatening attacks far exceeded that of Real Madrid in the past 15 minutes. Ronaldinho turned their advantage into a victory! If the game ends with this score, Millwall will have one foot in.
