----------------------------------------
The situation in Mestalla suddenly changed, the home fans created a roar that shook all directions, and the Lions fans were confused by the team's sudden loss of the ball.
I have always seen Millwall's amazingly creative way of scoring goals, and this is the first time I have seen a long pass played like this.
Is this a targeted tactical design by Valencia?
Carew is actually a cannon fodder, attracting firepower. He is a transparent man in tactics. He does not touch the ball and allows long passes to be penetrating. The threat is a player who cuts in from the wing?
The fans didn't understand, and most of them felt that Valencia was unlucky.
Aldrich made tactical adjustments before kickoff.
Without opening his mouth, he pointed at Schneider. When the other person looked at him, he raised his index finger with his right hand, drew a straight line from left to right, and then made the same gesture to Gianluca Zambrotta.
The two full-backs understood it clearly and kept the questions in their hearts. After all, following Aldridge for so many years, they were used to making only one choice in terms of tactical adjustments: accept and execute.
The question in their minds is: the game lasts less than 20 minutes, playing away from home, this is a desperate rhythm!
Aldrich's gesture and command were: Fullback, attack, and it was the command with the highest offensive enthusiasm.
Meaning they can even play as a winger!
Aldridge's calmness not only gave the team confidence, but also made Mestalla home team fans unhappy.
It was as if Millwall had scored the goal just now, not Valencia.
In fact, it wasn't just Aldridge who was calm. None of the Millwall players on the field had any special body or expression language.
It's just a ball thrown. It's still far away from the sky falling.
Even if the sky really collapses, we still have the confidence to hold it up again!
The reason Aldrich made tactical adjustments was mainly because of Gonzalez's goal.
Whether he scores a goal or not is secondary, the key is that Gonzalez can appear in that position at that time.
Due to inherent deficiencies in Valencia's lineup, the defense attack on both sides is useless, at least against top teams.
Ronaldinho Larsson can have the upper hand one on one.
But apparently the pressure wasn't enough.
Otherwise, Gonzalez would not have been able to run so far forward during the counterattack.
Aldridge is going to turn the game into a fierce pairing!
The opposition back four versus Millwall's front three.
Pirlo + Nedved vs. Albelda + Baraja.
Gattuso vs Aimar.
Zambrotta and Schneider vs Gonzalez and Mendieta.
In the end, Carew faced Materazzi and Southgate alone.
Since the opponent is playing extreme counter-attacks, this is a tactic that limits team cooperation and compresses the space. The key point is the individual confrontation of the players.
The individual abilities of Millwall's stars are better than those of their opponents. Then they must take this point to the extreme.
When Schneider and Gianluca Zambrotta came up with assists, Millwall's pressing attack was completely launched, almost surrounding the Valencia penalty area in a fan shape, which happened to form a tit-for-tat situation with Valencia's saucer-shaped defense.
Carboni and Angeloma themselves can't guard Ronaldinho and Larsson. Now with the help of Schneider and Zambrotta on the wing, they are naturally unable to parry. This forces Mendieta and Gonza
Reis dropped deeper to participate in the defense.
Valencia's home game was extremely passive and even ugly!
Cooper paced back and forth on the sidelines, turning his head and looking at his own penalty area.
After Valencia's successful defense, they were unable to launch the counterattack they are good at.
Going wide, the speed of Gonzalez and Mendieta couldn't get rid of Schneider and Gianluca Zambrotta, so they went directly to Aimar. Anyway, Gattuso has the man and the ball, so one must be left behind!
Not to mention Kalu, he simply hit Kalu directly with a high ball, and there was no connecting point nearby. Materazzi had no scruples and formed a zone defense with Southgate. He was the first to press forward and press closely.
Karu.
As the game progressed to 30 minutes, a pairing situation quietly formed on the field.
Cooper's mind was racing, thinking hard about ways to break the situation, and trying to reverse the current decline.
Valencia can be passive, but it must not be unable to counterattack. In that case, it will not be passive, but sit back and wait for death!
In the 34th minute, Zambrotta got the ball from the wing. Ronaldinho let the wing go to the middle. After receiving the ball, he kicked back with his heel to Pirlo. The latter kept passing the ball and passed it to the right front.
Baraja and Albelda turned around and saw that it was unbelievable. How could Larsson reach the center right of the penalty area line?
After Millwall's two-sided defenders came up with assists, Gonzalez and Mendieta's own defensive switching awareness could not keep up with the rhythm of Millwall players' movements, and mistakes occurred in marking.
Schneider ran up, Gonzalez followed, and Carboni didn't dare to rush out. Larson ran into the small open area in front of the penalty area just like Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho pulled out and already attracted Albelda.
Attention, Baraja himself has the important task of marking Nedvěd, so Larsson got a good opportunity.
The space in the penalty area was already very narrow. Larsson did not pass the ball or break through. He adjusted on the spot and shot hard. The ball flew to the lower left corner of the goal, but was blocked by Ayala's foot halfway.
, Canizares broke out in a cold sweat. The goalkeeper is most taboo about the ball changing direction after making a save.
when
The deflected ball hit the right post and bounced out. Carboni immediately half-turned and made a big-footed clearance.
"Larsson's shot was refracted and hit the post! Valencia escaped again! Since Valencia scored and took the lead, they have fallen into a complete passive situation. Millwall's frontcourt pressure was too much.
It’s terrifying. Valencia absolutely turned the tables and attacked wildly, but Valencia was busy defending and could only make aimless clearances, unable to mount an effective counterattack. If this continues, conceding the ball may be unavoidable.”
The atmosphere in the Mestalla quietly changed. The fans of the Bat Legion watched the team being bombarded, and there was a tremor in front of the door. They really couldn't be optimistic, while the fans of the Mad Lions cheered and applauded like a tide.
Applaud for every shot the team makes, and cheer for wonderful individual performances or teamwork.
Henry's shot slipped out, Pirlo's long shot was blocked, Zambrotta followed up and continued his long shot but Canizares blocked the baseline with one palm...
"Millwall continued to attack and formed continuous shots. The first half of the game is almost over. Valencia can take a breather soon, but they must defend this corner kick first."
Pirlo ran to take a corner kick, and Ronaldinho followed him sneakily. Pirlo took a tactical corner kick. Ronaldinho stepped on the ball and immediately attracted the opponent's defensive player. Before being approached by the opponent, he pulled the ball back to the opponent.
After taking the corner kick, Pirlo ran back. At this time, Pirlo made another 45-degree cross into the penalty area.
The purpose of tactical corner kicks is to disrupt the opponent's static marking arrangement for defensive corner kicks. At this time, Pirlo's cross happened to find Materazzi who was ambushing in the back point.
I saw Materazzi leaping high and heading the ball towards the near corner of the goal consciously.
Canizares moved along with the flight path of the cross. Materazzi's header hit the goal from the near corner. The distance was very close. Materazzi's header was powerful enough to hit the goal. Canizares was completely subconscious.
He opened his arms to block the ball, and the ball was blocked. But Canizares did not use his hands or body, but his face!
"Hehe, hehehe. Materazzi's header was turned away by Canizares with his face! Fortunately, Canizares jumped. If he didn't jump, the ball would definitely pass through him.
Flying overhead into the goal!”
Materazzi stomped his feet and jumped twice, furious and feeling that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
I finally got a chance to make atonement, but I didn’t get in!
Aldrich saw that the team was unable to attack for a long time, and those shooting opportunities had come out, but they just missed the goal. He either smiled bitterly or bowed and sighed.
To be honest, the team was in good shape today, breaking through intensive defense, and it was the intensive defense of a team like Valencia that relies on counterattacks. Taking into account the away factor, Millwall was able to suppress the opponent and attack wildly, and achieved considerable results.
A shooting opportunity, what else can he say to the team?
To be precise, the current situation is that there is no way to break the goal, but it is not that there is no way to break the defense. Valencia's defense has been broken by Millwall several times. The only thing that cannot be broken is the gate guarded by Canizares.
At halftime, Aldridge took the lead in walking into the tunnel.
Millwall's players came off the field together. They gathered together to discuss the situation in the first half. Everyone felt that there was a lack of luck.
Henry was more embarrassed. There were too many people in the penalty area and he couldn't get the ball. He had no room to attack when he was pulled out. He used his cold shooting characteristics to stop the ball and get rid of it. He shot three times, one shot missed, and two shots hit the opponent's defensive player and went out of bounds.
.
Ronaldinho basically shot a long shot into the far corner, and the only time it hit the goal was that it was resolved by Canizares.
While chatting, everyone suddenly fell silent.
Because they have an opponent's data in mind.
How many successful saves did the goalkeeper make?
In the first half, Canizares made high passes and low blocks, repeatedly resolving dangerous situations. The ones he couldn't resolve were aided by the crossbar and goalpost.
Aldridge made no tactical changes in the locker room. Now it only depends on the players' individual abilities when they seize opportunities.
His emphasis is on the wing, with Schneider and Gianluca Zambrotta being the key points. They must not only attack to force the opponent's wing players to return to defense, but also must return to defense immediately during the transition between offense and defense. This is a severe test for physical fitness.
When walking out of the locker room, Klinsmann asked: "Should we let Klose warm up in the second half to strengthen the threat of headers in front of the goal?"
Aldridge frowned and thought for a while, and said: "We have Larsson and Nedved for headers. I don't think it's a problem with headers. In fact, it's difficult to specifically say where there are deficiencies in the offense. Kloh
As for Zeshang, who will be removed? Let’s see again.”
After thinking about it carefully, Klinsmann no longer persisted. He just provided a suggestion. It was a reminder to Aldridge that if it doesn't work, let's just play a simple and crude header bombing. Anyway, the opponents have already played so conservatively at home.
.
Now Henry is definitely better in overall ability than Klose. There is no doubt that Klose has one advantage that Henry completely defeats, and that is header!
Henry's header ability is not to be praised. Ordinary headers are fine, but the one that fights for the goal is really terrible.
You can't see any abnormality in training at ordinary times, but it doesn't work well during competitions.
Aldrich couldn't figure out the reason. He had absolutely no idea of letting Henry practice heading the ball hard, and there was no need to get into trouble.
He comforted himself by saying that he had read a "professional" article analyzing Henry's header ability in his previous life.
The writer is a professor at the University of Hamburg, Germany.
It is through Henry's skull cross-section to analyze why Henry's header ability is so incredibly low.
Aldrich couldn't understand the almost anatomical analysis of the human body. The conclusion was that Henry's head was not suitable for heading the ball, but it was suitable for "flying".
This extremely "professional" article not only explains why Henry's header is poor, but also provides a theoretical basis for why Henry runs so fast.
