----------------------------------
Liverpool fell behind by two goals, and the players on the field were like enraged beasts and launched a crazy counterattack.
In the 29th minute of the game, Liverpool gave up their established offensive tactics. Smicer's tactical role in this game was almost not played. He was completely frozen by Gattuso.
Therefore, Liverpool simply played a long pass and rushed to the goal.
Murphy made a long pass from midfield, and Heskey retreated from the front line with his back to the goal. After taking off, he directly topped the ball to the back player.
Owen and Smicer were both completely marked. Nedvěd was originally marking Murphy going forward, but unexpectedly Murphy directly played a long pass.
Pirlo failed to keep an eye on the opponent's only remaining offensive point: Gerrard!
Gerrard received Heskey's header and passed it back, moved forward to stop the ball with his chest, and at the same time broke through Pirlo's defense, and hit a long shot from the penalty area line into the dead center of the goal.
Pagliuca was powerless to do anything about the ball. Gerrard's shot was diagonal to the goal. Not to mention Pagliuca, there are very few goalkeepers in the world who can save such a shot that is almost from a blind spot.
"Liverpool pulled one back and it was Gerrard who scored!"
Liverpool didn't celebrate. Gerrard seemed to be telling his teammates to go back with a frown on his face and quickly kicked off.
Last season was a season in which Gerrard firmly established himself as Liverpool's main force. His performance was outstanding and he played an indispensable role in Liverpool's "little treble".
"Aldridge, don't you think Pirlo's defensive problems are becoming more and more obvious?"
Klinsmann said with a frown after conceding the goal.
To be honest, the scene was not very nice. Pirlo hardly formed a frontal defense against Gerrard. Moreover, he did not effectively interfere with the opponent's long shot.
Aldrich said calmly: "I think it was Nedved who was lazy."
Klinsmann frowned.
Even though they have worked with each other for many years, their starting points for observing the situation on the field are still different.
Therefore, some people are head coaches, and some people can only be assistant coaches.
It's not that Aldridge insists on refuting Klinsmann. It's just that he thinks so.
Pirlo's position on the field is in the midfielder area, and then moves forward freely.
But his role is defined as a deep-lying organization, not a defensive midfielder.
His defensive task is usually one of the positioning pieces that cuts through the opponent's offensive formation in positional battles and assists his teammates.
Aldridge never thought of relying on Pirlo's frontal defensive ability.
God is fair. He has given Pirlo organizational talent, but will he be turned into a ball-grabbing machine or an interception barrier?
Gattuso does the dirty work. Nedvěd also takes on such a job after returning to his position. Pirlo is assisting, and his input is even less than that of Nedved, who is further away from the penalty area in the starting position. Each player has his own
Characteristics: Nedved's physical ability and running in a large area are one of his advantages. Naturally, he must make full use of it.
Liverpool's offense today was actually compressed in the middle.
Houllier didn't want to give up the two forwards, but also wanted to intensively block Millwall's passes in the middle, so he had to sacrifice the wings.
Riise can't go up, and Murphy's widening effect is average. With a small diamond midfielder and two forwards, it's very intuitive to have a one-stop in the middle.
Maybe Nedved was really lazy. Following Murphy, he didn't immediately compress the backcourt area. After all, the opponent's offensive players were all concentrated in the middle.
Aldridge is not worried. There are gains and losses. Millwall is not helpless when Liverpool plays like this. Moreover, not every long pass from the opponent can find Heskey, and not every time Heskey can get the ball.
It just happens to be the most suitable teammate, and the teammate can hit a tricky long-range shot like Gerrard did.
On the contrary, Liverpool attacked like this and their weaknesses were obvious at a glance.
Liverpool had just scored a goal back and their morale had soared, wanting to score another victory.
As a result, 4 minutes later, Zambrotta went all the way from the wing and passed the ball to Ronaldinho in front of Carragher. The latter continuously dribbled horizontally in front of the penalty area and found an opening as Liverpool's defense moved.
After passing a through ball, Larsson cut inside and received the ball in the small penalty area, then accelerated, rushed past Dudek, passed the goalkeeper, and then pushed the empty goal to extend the lead to two goals.
"Liverpool just recovered a goal, but the defense was hit hard again! 3:1, this game is so exciting, the first half is not over, there are already four goals!"
The fans are lucky, but Liverpool's players have mixed feelings.
How to do this?
If you work hard to get one, the opponent can quickly get one without any effort.
Aldrich was not surprised at all when the third goal came and he raised his eyebrows at Klinsmann.
Even if Pirlo doesn't touch the ball, his threat can attract Liverpool to deploy their troops to defend.
Generally speaking, the attack points of top teams will be evenly distributed. If you want to take advantage of the width of the field, wing attacks are indispensable. Like Manchester United's two-wing attack, Arsenal's side counterattacks, etc., these all use the width of the field to tear apart.
A strategy to open up the opponent's defense line, so that the distance between the opponent's defensive formations will be virtually expanded.
And because Millwall has the presence of deep-lying playmaker Pirlo, the threat of midfield attack cannot be ignored. Therefore, many teams face Millwall and have to play five midfielders. The traditional two wing midfielders and central midfielders.
The double midfielder can not only compress the space, but also harass Pirlo's organization.
This defense comes at the expense of offense, leaving only a lone forward.
Liverpool were unwilling to sacrifice the attack on the front line and wanted to restrict Pirlo. They did a pretty good job. Pirlo rarely took the ball to organize today.
But Millwall is not a team that cannot play football without Pirlo's organization. Otherwise, how can it dominate?
A simple and direct wing attack, with the full-back rushing forward, makes the threat more intuitive and effective.
Houllier saw the team's third goal conceded and realized that he seemed to have made a superficial mistake.
He figured out how to limit Millwall's source of creativity, which is the foundation of Millwall's ever-changing offense, Commander Pirlo!
However, Millwall's cracking method almost didn't require Aldridge to think about it.
Liverpool just prevented Millwall from playing a complex and changeable offensive combination.
The openings can be exposed, allowing Millwall to defeat Liverpool in the simplest and crudest way.
Liverpool's wing defense was weak, so Millwall used two wing attacks to tear apart Liverpool's defense. Zambrotta and Schneider made repeated attacks, and the threat was obvious to all.
Houllier stood up and walked to the sidelines, resigned to his fate.
If you don't sacrifice offense and strengthen defense, beating Millwall is asking for death. Come to think of it, Millwall can be restricted a little, but it can't restrict all offensive points at all.
In the Charity Shield, there is no need to make early substitutions to avoid attacking players and causing internal conflicts. Houllier just allows Heskey and Smicer to retreat at the same time. To strengthen the midfield defense, Gerrard and Murphy can help defend more.
Wing.
Before Liverpool's adjustments and changes were completed, Millwall scored another goal before the end of the first half!
Nedvěd dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was double-teamed by Hamann and Hyypia before falling to the ground. The referee ruled that Haman tripped Nedved from behind and gave Millwall a penalty kick.
Larson made a hit and Millwall secured the victory in the first half.
4:1
At the end of half-time, the Welsh fans in the stands took the initiative to applaud the two teams. Apart from anything else, there were many goals and it was worth buying tickets to watch the game.
There were many substitutions in the Charity Shield. Aldridge saw Liverpool's changes in the last few minutes of the first half, thought about it, and decided to seduce the Reds.
Both sides returned to the court in the second half.
"Millwall took a huge 4:1 lead in the first half. Hall believed that victory was in hand and decided to replace five of Millwall's main players at halftime. I wonder if Liverpool saw Millwall make such a large-scale substitution.
How would you feel?"
Larsson, Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Pirlo.
All five players took a break.
Alonso, Kaká, Villa, Klose and Larmour appeared on the stage.
Houllier saw Millwall's substitution and his blood suddenly surged.
Aldrich, how unkind!
He had already allowed Liverpool to counterattack in a targeted manner during the halftime break.
As a result, this arrangement will obviously be disrupted by Millwall's substitutions.
Irving, Gerrard, Smicer Heskey and the rest, facing the opponent, withdrew half of the main team, and then retreated to defend against counterattacks?
Will they be happy?
Losing to the famous European Trident, God of War Nedved, etc., this is actually nothing to be ashamed of, but if you face young players like Kaká, Villa, Alonso and so on, you can't show any momentum.
, I guess he will be scolded by the Red Army fans when he returns to Liverpool.
Millwall's formation is basically unchanged, with two defensive midfielders, but the defensive hardness of this dual defensive midfielder is much stronger than Pirlo + Gattuso. Although Alonso's organizational talent is not 60% as good as Pirlo's, his defensive strength is
The strength has surpassed Pirlo.
Aldridge sat on the coach's bench and snickered to himself. Liverpool really couldn't hold back in the second half, taking the offensive initiative and pressing their troops into the situation.
Millwall's style of play has actually changed. They lack a playmaker and just play counterattack.
Counterattack tactics are simple, at least more direct than organizing teamwork. Pass when there is space, pass if your teammates are in a better position, and break through when you are sure. After all, it is a counterattack, and the space is much looser than positional warfare.
"The young man signed by Millwall in the summer plays very distinctively. He got the ball from the middle and then turned around and directly broke through Murphy's defense. Murphy was obviously a little too confident and went straight to intercept, but was intercepted by a man named
Kaka's player easily changed direction and passed by. Kaka strode forward with the ball and handed the ball to Larmore in front of Hamann. Then he continued to advance forward. Larmore passed the ball back to him. Kaka
Ka shot! Unfortunately, Hyypia blocked it with his leg from close range."
This kind of environment where the opponent counterattacks is the most suitable for Kaka to perform. Today he made his debut, allowing the Lions fans to remember this young man with a very distinctive playing style, and to the newcomers recruited by the team in the summer.
Feeling satisfied, the fans firmly believe that given time, Aldrich will be able to train him into a first-class star.
The entire second half was spent in the rhythm of Liverpool's furious attack and Millwall's counterattack.
Owen scored a goal in the second half, and Millwall won the Charity Shield with a total score of 6:2 thanks to Klose and Villa's contributions.
Although Kaká did not score in his debut, he had an assist and his start at Millwall was quite impressive, especially since this was also the first official game of his career.
After the game, Aldridge shook hands with Houllier first, and then walked into the field and praised Kaká in person. As for Kaká’s performance in these 45 minutes, not to mention anything else, Kaká’s confidence in controlling the ball is commendable. There are many
Young players don't dare to take the ball when they first step onto the court.
When making moves, he is the kind of person who does not seek merit but seeks no faults, and Kaká dares to perform, and dares to dribble the ball when he sees a large space. His ability is not important for the time being. This courage and confidence are important to his career.
The future development of your career is very important.
Kaka was praised and showed a shy smile.
"Go ahead, celebrate with your teammates, take a few photos, this is your first championship, uh, forget it, go celebrate."
Aldridge originally wanted to say: Ronaldinho's career debut was the FA Cup final, which was also Ronaldinho's first championship. Compared with the Charity Shield, the Charity Shield is obviously not worth mentioning, so he didn't say it.
Watching Kaka being "sneak-attacked" by Ronaldinho as he walked to celebrate with his teammates, Aldridge smiled knowingly.
