When Henry was sure to catch Schneider's pass, the entire Bayern Munich team was shocked.
In Millwall's attack, the players' movements are dazzling, and their defensive tasks, especially man-marking tasks, are also changing rapidly.
Lizarazu, Link, Anderson, and Kufuor completed the double-team defense of Larsson and Nedved at the back line, and Sagnol also rushed to the center with Grenchar to support.
In a flash of lightning, Effenberg chose to go with Pirlo.
Pirlo's organizational creativity cannot be ignored. Effenberg believes that when Millwall's offensive movement easily causes Bayern Munich to miss people, Pirlo's threat in this area is obviously higher than Henry.
There is a kind of Henry who takes a long shot from 38 yards!
If Kahn is exposed like this, Bayern Munich will have nothing to say.
Effenberg determined that Henry would definitely hand the ball to Pirlo, and then use the forward penetration to create a new round of chaos in Bayern Munich's defense. Pirlo's scalpel-like pass would definitely be able to catch the flaw in the defense, thereby creating Millwall
's goal.
Henry stopped the ball firmly with his chest, and the ball fell down without any force. Henry bumped it with his thigh, and at the same time, he started to move forward!
Henry, speed up!
Due to the previous restrictions on Henry, he was in a dilemma where he was double-teamed front and back. Not to mention starting an explosion, even getting the ball became very difficult. Now, when no one is marking him, he can explode with speed easily.
And the way he moved forward made the audience stunned.
Thigh, thigh, instep, instep, the ball didn’t even hit the ground!
Henry is still rushing forward while bumping the ball, which requires a strong sense of the ball and rhythm control ability!
It looked like he was having fun.
Henry took two steps with the ball and broke through Effenberg's parallel position on the left. Hargreaves found that Sagnol was eyeing Grenchar. He quickly rushed forward to intercept Henry.
However, Henry is already charging at full speed. How can newcomer Hargreaves stop him?
Henry made a change of pace when Hargreaves rushed forward, increased his speed, and still used the method of bumping the ball forward to make Hargreaves miss when he rushed forward.
38, 37, 36, 35, 34...30, after breaking through Hargreaves' interception, Henry was only 25 yards away from the goal! It was almost the superimposed distance between the two penalty spots and the goal.
If he moves forward any further, he will rush into Bayern Munich's back line.
It seems that a lot of things happened in this series of processes, but in fact, in the picture seen by the naked eye, only 3 or 4 seconds passed.
Henry stopped the ball from his chest, accelerated the ball forward, and shortened the distance to the goal. It was only two steps further than the penalty spot from the goal line.
At this time, Henry no longer hesitated. When the ball fell from the sky, he supported his body with his left leg and swung his right leg like a bow with a full moon, like a tiger descending the mountain!
Volley!
Henry was well prepared for this shot. His shooting foot hit the ball's force-bearing part, and it was volleyed. As long as the power and angle of this kind of ball are perfectly combined, the effect will definitely be more powerful than a ground shot.
After the ball was shot, it was obvious that there was no rotation in the air, but the speed was too fast and the friction with the air caused irregular trajectory changes.
After Henry shot the ball, he glanced at the flight path of the ball, and suddenly felt a little worried in his heart. The flight path of the ball that was too fast was completely uncontrollable. How it flew was a variable that only physics experts could calculate.
Link and Anderson subconsciously used their bodies to block. They jumped up at the same time. Even if they were concussed by the ball, they had to stop the ball from flying towards the goal.
But the speed of the ball was too fast. Before they could even take off, the ball passed between them and over their shoulders, blowing a gust of wind. It was as if they could hear the sound of breaking through the air.
Kahn quickly moved to the left side of the goal, his body rose into the air, and he stretched out one palm to block the ball, but he only got halfway. He watched with shock as the ball flew close to the inside of the goal post and into the upper left corner of the goal.
"Incredible goal! Shocking goal! Henry, in the European Champions Cup final, left a goal that will be remembered forever! From the moment he stopped the ball with his chest, he never let the ball fall to the ground.
The ball moved forward, and as the speed continued to increase, he broke through Hargreaves who came up to intercept. Finally, he used an incredible volley to blast the ball into Bayern.
Munich's goal, this is a very ornamental goal. It reminds me that Henry just completed an upside-down golden hook goal four days ago. His recent state is simply unparalleled. After coming to Hall's tent three times,
In the middle of the year, Henry completed the transformation of his position and role, becoming a top forward step by step, and with his performance this season, we have reason to believe that he is now the number one forward in the world!"
The stands of San Siro were boiling, and the shouts of the Lions fans went straight into the sky. Many fans stretched their arms to the sky, seeming to ask God: Is all this true?
After Henry saw the goal, his expression was relieved at first, and he was worried that the unexpected big change in the trajectory of the ball did not happen. Then, he rushed to the sideline with forgetfulness, his eyes opened and closed during the run, his expression was twisted and excited, and he was far away from the field.
When the edge was still ten meters away, he covered his face with his hands and knelt down while sliding. When he finished sliding out of the sideline, he opened his hands again and his expression became extremely cold, just like a god who rules the mortal world.
In this season where the alien is still recovering from a serious injury, the zebra prince has lost his energy after returning from a serious injury, Vieri is struggling to survive at San Siro, and Batty is still enjoying great success after being transferred to Roma, in Serie A, which is known as the world's best league, who else can do it?
Is it more outstanding than Henry this season? Crespo? Shevchenko? Regardless of field statistics, team honors, or goal viewing, Henry's performance in the key battles in April and May is definitely the best.
Heroic!
As for Raul, Owen and other forwards, they cannot even participate in the Champions League. No matter how unstoppable they are, there is no shining stage like the Champions League final for them to perform.
Henry looked at the crazy Lions fans who were losing their composure, with an inexplicable determination in his eyes.
The world's number one striker?
Who else would I be!
Aldridge could not have expected Henry to perform like this, but liberating Henry and creating space for him to explode can increase the probability of breaking through Bayern Munich's defense, whether Henry breaks through after gaining speed or uses him as a change
Any new offensive changes will bring a brand new impact to Bayern Munich.
But Henry unreasonably solved the battle on his own, and in the same way.
Well, when Aldrich saw the whole process of Henry breaking through and then scoring in the volley, the only words that came to his mind were two words of amazement:!
He turned around and gave Klinsmann a high-five, and asked jokingly: "Jurgen, can you do what he did just now?"
Klinsmann, who was smiling and looking red, turned even redder and did not answer Aldridge's question.
Kahn picked the ball out of the goal and threw it forward immediately, roaring to boost the morale of the team.
Heathfield had no expression on his face and his mind was running rapidly. The first half was almost over and a goal was scored at this time, which had a great impact on the situation.
If he wants to find fault, the first culprit must be Hargreaves. This kid is right to go out and intercept Henry, but Henry has never started before and cannot pick up the speed. Hargreaves obviously overestimated his ability to follow up with Henry.
The ability to match Henry's rhythm, if he were six or seven years older,
He must be overconfident. But he is so young and inexperienced. If it were Jerry Metz, he would have rushed to intercept Henry, but after seeing Henry take two steps, no matter what, he would definitely
Bringing down Henry, as long as it's not a red card or a yellow card, it's worth it!
With the lessons learned from conceding the ball this time, Bayern Munich will quickly correct such mistakes. This is not a weakness that was penetrated by the opponent. If Henry is pulled out to catch the ball next time, Bayern Munich will definitely not use the same strategy.
Defense.
There were only a few minutes left in the first half, and Millwall scored a goal. Let's slow down the rhythm first. Want to see if Bayern Munich will lose their senses and attack wildly, allowing them to counterattack and score another victory?
It's a pity that although Bayern Munich lost the ball, they didn't lose their sense. They took the initiative to attack. But they didn't press like crazy.
After Millwall withstood the opponent's attack, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
"The overall confrontation between the two teams was very stalemate in the first 45 minutes. Millwall's offense improved for a period after 30 minutes. It was at that time that Henry seized the opportunity and scored a goal through a personal performance. I believe the scene in the second half will be better."
Being more open, as time goes by, Bayern Munich will have to attack, otherwise, they will miss the Champions League again after 2 years. They have been waiting for 25 years!"
Bayern Munich fans in the stands have begun to pray.
There is also unspeakable resentment in my heart.
In 1999, they eliminated Millwall, who was aiming to defend their title, but faced Manchester United in the final and were given a blackout for three minutes, watching helplessly as the championship trophy slipped through their fingers.
This year's double defeat of Manchester United and double defeat of Arsenal not only avenged Manchester United's robbery of the championship, but also stepped on the corpse of the Premier League's giants to reach the final, but they met Millwall again. After the first half,
Bayern Munich falls behind...
Premier League teams are so fucked up!
The two teams returned to the locker room, and Hitzfield cheered the team while also making tactical adjustments.
On the other side, Aldridge was also explaining to his disciples the style of play in the second half. They were leading and there was no need to make major changes. Even the changes in the second half of the first half had to be undone and they continued to maintain a five-man defense posture, because Bayern
Munich is bound to increase its offensive aggressiveness. On the contrary, the balance state in the first thirty minutes of the first half will change to Bayern Munich taking risks to make changes. This balance will inevitably no longer exist in the second half. Between offense and defense, Millwall
On the basis of solid defense, we can still get more opportunities.
After the two teams walked out of the locker room, Aldrich walked out of the tunnel with a calm expression, and then entered the court. He came to the coach's bench one step ahead and stood there with a calm expression.
1:0
Based on this score, as long as Millwall makes no mistakes today, Aldridge does not believe that anyone else can stop the Mad Lions from successfully defending the European Champions Cup!
Hitzfield's face didn't look good. He knew that Bayern Munich's opponent in the second half was not only Millwall, but also time!
