At the beginning of the second half, less than two minutes later, Aldridge's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Isn't it right? What kind of performance did Heathfield play?"
"Huh? What?"
Klinsmann didn't understand what Aldrich said.
Jensen was also thinking.
Aldrich pointed to the situation in his own half and said: "Barack and Sauer, or Ballack and Salihamidzic are pressing hard. Pay attention to Elber's position."
The premise of Ballack's position is clear at a glance, but how to play is another matter. It does not mean that there is a fixed pattern of tasks when you reach a position.
The attacking midfielders of many contemporary strong teams still do not participate in defense. Ballack is in the attacking midfielder position. As for the series attack, the effect is not obvious yet, but his pressing or defensive intensity is obviously like a defensive midfielder.
.
This is the difference between defensive tasks and meanings. Millwall's forwards returning to defense are by no means defending in the true sense, but harassing, disrupting the opponent's offense, defending, pressing, and intercepting. Such tasks are between the midfield line and
Of course, Pirlo is an exception to what the back line is doing. His contribution to defense can only be said to be slightly stronger than harassment.
Everyone took a closer look at the situation on the field and discovered what Aldridge was referring to.
It's one thing to press like crazy, but if 11 people are trying to grab it, what's the point?
What is the meaning of teamwork?
Ballack worked together with the full midfielder on the front waistline to press hard. The other full midfielder and striker Elber were obviously waiting for an opportunity to break out and take action!
If Ballack succeeds, Bayern Munich probably only needs one or two passes to create a murderous opportunity!
"Isn't this our midfielder forward?"
Jensen asked with a frown.
To be honest, Bayern Munich should play better than Millwall if they use a midfielder-forward tactic. This is because they have fewer technical players in their team and rely mainly on teamwork. Secondly, they have players with stronger defensive abilities who are more active.
There are also many players with a wide range. The three midfielders who played today, Hargreaves, Effenberg and Ballack, can all do this. There is also a player on the bench who is doubtful due to injuries.
As for Jeremys, they have many people.
Aldrich slapped his thigh and said, "It's very dangerous today!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Jerry Mays has been plagued by injuries in the past year, and Hitzfield did not dare to use him. If he dared to use him, or Jerry Mays was in good condition, Bayern Munich might have caught us off guard in the first half.
!”
Aldridge has lingering fears. He will not be blindly arrogant and will make a reasonable assessment of each opponent. He will not think that Bayern Munich is vulnerable just because the score is ahead.
Klinsmann looked at the situation on the court and asked in surprise: "Could it be that if Jerry Metz can come on and Ballack starts as an attacking midfielder, he..."
"That's right, Jerry Mays, Hargreaves, and Effenberg are the three defensive midfielders, Ballack plays the attacking midfielder, and 4321 is supplemented by the strategy of playing the defensive midfielder in the front. Millwall is unprepared for the start, and maybe it will happen.
Got it by Bayern Munich!"
After Aldridge finished speaking, he let out a long breath, then shook his head and said: "Oh, God is so fair, we are missing Larson and Henry, and Bayern Munich's Jeremys can't play either."
Maybe it’s just a small variable, or from a common sense point of view, even if Jeremias plays, it will only squeeze out Hargreaves’ position, but in the application process, a small variable factor will cause a big change.
, can even change the quality.
In the first half, Bayern Munich defended very successfully in the first 30 minutes, but the counterattack failed to produce results. What they lack is a series of offensive and defensive figures in the frontcourt. In the England national team, they have Scholes, supplemented by dribbling skills.
McManaman, who broke through, and Irving, the top shooter.
Elber and Salihamidzic, known as Angel Wings, have similar roles, but they lack a Scholes-like figure. Is Ballack the same as Scholes? It's definitely different, but
In terms of tactical effects, each should have its own merits. If Bayern Munich starts with Ballack playing as an attacking midfielder, maybe in those counterattacks, Ballack's linking organizational role and the threat of forward penetration will make Millwall unprepared.
Create murderous opportunities under the circumstances.
But conversely, when Jeremys cannot play, Ballack plays as an attacking midfielder. This three-back midfielder system is flawed in the first place and cannot withstand Millwall's pressing attack. The counterattack is just a mirror image.
"Haha, Aldrich, I still have to say that, you are amazing. Look at Bayern Munich, dominating German football, but you are forcing them to do it again, with 4321, and with the midfielder forward, use your
Things are coming to try to defeat you, hahaha, today’s game has more exciting scenes than the past season!”
Jensen made no secret of his admiration for Aldrich. Probably since Aldrich traveled alone to the Netherlands, he has always admired this younger man in his heart.
Aldrich shook his head and said: "To be honest, I can't say that, I really can't. Just like, when I make tactics, I will draw on Italian football, Dutch football, Spanish football, etc. How should I put it, learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses? Although it is not copied, it is
It's definitely not original. Besides, if
If Millwall loses today, did I push Hitzfield into this situation, or did I show Hitzfield the way to beat Millwall? The process is not important, the result is the most important, people
They will only use the results to hype the process."
There was nothing hypocritical or pretentious about what he said.
The fact is that Millwall won. No matter what tactics Heathfield uses, he will be a loser and be criticized and ridiculed by the outside world.
If Millwall loses, Hitchfield will be the winner, and he will be showered with applause and praise.
As for the tactics used, does it matter whether it has anything to do with Aldrich? Of course it doesn't.
In the first five minutes of the second half, Millwall was just like at the end of the first half. The overall formation did not press forward and the pace was not fast. Bayern Munich was trailing by the score and did not press aggressively, but they were the main attackers and there were many positional battles.
The two midfielders are connected in the frontcourt. They can control it for the time being.
Keep the ball and patiently create opportunities. If the hit fails, Ballack will press frantically from the front waistline. Even if this press cannot be won, it will slow down Millwall's counterattack, delay the attack, and give the opponent a chance to attack.
Bayern Munich deployed a complete defense to gain time.
Bayern Munich wanted to successfully counterattack and then directly hit the fatal blow. The idea was wonderful, but the effect was not good. Millwall's backcourt players never have the bad habit of sticking to the ball. If someone comes to grab it, they will definitely release the ball as soon as possible.
If you dare to perform too much in a dangerous zone, no matter whether you succeed or not, unless you are forced into a situation where you have no choice but to do so, you will definitely be reprimanded by Aldrich for a long time after the game.
The situation on the field was calm and uneventful for these five minutes. Bayern Munich thought that Millwall was taking the lead and counterattacked comfortably. Unexpectedly, after 50 minutes, Millwall's attitude changed again. The formation tacitly agreed to press forward collectively and attack in a pressing style.
.is back again!
After Ballack failed to counterattack Pirlo, he turned around and went to grab Gattuso. As a result, Gattuso passed the ball to Schneider, who strode forward with the ball and passed the ball to Pirlo after half-time.
Luo.
Ballack was shocked and watched Pirlo dribbling the ball forward. He was not dribbling very fast, but his forward consciousness had no absolute relationship with speed. Pirlo's bold move forward drove Millwall's overall offensive formation forward.
Push forward!
Schneider did not go back after passing the ball and continued to press forward. His position was closer to the winger. Villa did not cut inside and retreated to support. Villa, Nedved and Pirlo were in the penalty area.
The previous activities form a connection, and the power of triangle transmission is revealed.
Hargreaves and Effenberg faced a sudden increase in pressure from these three people. Pirlo was still rushing forward, and Ballack just ran behind him. Pirlo passed the ball to Villa, and he went forward again.
Retreating in front of the penalty area, Hargreaves went to defend Villa. Villa knocked the ball back to Pirlo. When Ballack turned around again, he saw Pirlo and did not stop the ball, and passed the ball lightly into the penalty area.
With Klose covering, Nedvěd's forward movement was only against Link. Link stayed back, and Nedvěd jumped forward and headed the ball hard!
Kahn made a world-class save. Nedvěd's header headed towards the dead center of the goal. Although the angle was not extreme, it was still tricky. Kahn blocked the ball with one palm, and the direction it bounced was right in the direction of Villa.
Here, Villa did not dare to stop the ball, so he half-turned and swept the ball to the side.
Schneider, who came up with an assist, once again launched an offensive attack. Before Lizarazu came to block, he aimed at Klose and passed the ball. Klose went around from behind Kufuor to the front point to meet the ball.
Taking off is also a header!
This time, Klose's header angle was obviously very positive, and he was very confident. Kahn had just completed the save. This time he got up and made another save. No matter how you thought about it, he would not make another world-class save.
However, Klose thought this was a must-goal, but after heading the goal, he found that Kahn used irregular movements to block the ball with his palm in a hurry!
Klose was in disbelief, watching as Kahn's body weight dropped to the right, but his left hand reached to the upper left, and he accurately blocked the ball again!
What a godly goalkeeper!
Kahn made two world-class saves, but twice in a row, he failed to collect the ball or block it out of bounds. Moreover, both times, after the ball was blocked, it bounced head-on.
This time, the bounced ball was stopped by Pirlo with his chest on the line of the penalty area. Hargreaves and Effenberg made a flying tackle, and the other used his body to block his shooting angle. Link, Kufu
Well, Lizarazu, who was in the penalty area, was almost trying to use his body to block the angle of his shot!
But Pirlo flicked his ankle and passed the ball diagonally to the other side of the penalty area.
The Bayern generals turned to look, their hearts feeling as cold as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
This was the third consecutive attack by Millwall's pressing attack. Bayern Munich could no longer calmly arrange their defense to mark people. In the blink of an eye, there was no time for them to do this.
Ronaldinho received Pirlo's pass in front of Sagnol. He faced the goal sideways and had a good shooting angle, which was comparable to a golden opportunity for a semi-single shot.
Sagnol shoveled away without thinking, not to attack the player, but to use the shovel to block Ronaldinho's shot.
But Ronaldinho dunked the ball and pulled it calmly. Sagnol flew past him close to the ground. Ronaldinho took another step towards the goal. Kahn gave up the goal. Kahn just moved.
, Ronaldinho used the arch of his foot to push the shot in place, Kahn fell to the ground to pounce, it was too late...
Lizarazu flew away from behind the goal and tried to use his toes to clear the ball from the goal line, but he was also slow. When the ball rolled into the goal, Lizarazu also slid into the goal! (Not finished yet)
