--------------------------
The fans in the Millennium Stadium are enthusiastic. The Lions fans are not worried about the team at all. They are leading the score. The Blackburn fans are not discouraged. Before the game is over, they are still thinking about what if, and a miracle has been created.
Woolen cloth?
The neutral Welsh fans were enjoying the game, but they were slightly disappointed that Millwall did not have the main attacking group today.
The quality of Millwall's offense has declined, Blackburn always lets the ball fly in the sky, and the Welsh fans are having fun on their own. Many fans are holding cameras to take pictures of the scene on the sidelines. Now Aldridge is hugging the 17-year-old Ronaldo
, which can especially interest them.
What would they be saying?
"Blackburn's approach in the second half should have improved the probability of scoring compared to their tactics in the first half. Do you know why?"
Aldrich asked Ronaldo calmly.
Ronaldo shook his head. In fact, he felt that there was not much change. Blackburn just changed from a ground passing attack to a high-flying long pass.
"You notice, they gave up the midfield in the second half, leaving three players in the frontcourt, excluding the goalkeeper in the backcourt, four defenders plus three midfielders, and seven defenders. The contrast between offense and defense is obvious. We are attacking 5vs7, and they are attacking 3vs5.
Attack. If they also play ground passes and cuts, the efficiency will be reduced in the process of passing through the midfield zone. On the contrary, if they use long passes to hit the lob, the offense will be hit to the offensive end zone as soon as possible. If we are not careful, we will
You might suffer disaster."
After Aldrich finished speaking, Ronaldo curled his lips and said: "It's not just luck."
Aldrich shook his head and did not correct Ronaldo's superficial statement.
The long pass does seem too simple and crude. But Souness was able to make such an adjustment after the halftime break, which shows that he had some reasonable considerations.
Moreover, Souness' experience must have played an extremely important role in Blackburn's situation.
Five or six years ago, Millwall could play defensive counterattacks after taking the lead. But today's Millwall, even if they are ahead, must attack and not withdraw too obviously. At least it must be at the level of offensive and defensive balance, otherwise.
This is too utilitarian. Utilitarian means that it is common to the masses and does not appear to be extraordinary and extraordinary.
Just like after Millwall leads by two goals, the defensive players in the backcourt do not attack. Midfielder Alonso is used as the dividing line. When attacking, he must push forward through the center line. With the midfielder and trident, this is a 5-man attack.
, facing Blackburn's 7-man defensive line. When these 5 people lack offensive space, it is difficult for them to play a very threatening attack, but it is not difficult to move forward.
The reason why Aldridge did not correct Ronaldo's statement is because there is a certain truth. Blackburn's long pass seems to be largely a matter of luck.
In Aldridge's terms, it's a mixed goal.
This kind of "mixing" can be understood as an accidental goal.
For example, when there is no shooting angle, a long-range shot is forced, hitting the defensive player and changing direction, and it turns into an assist for a teammate to score. This kind of goal is classified as a mess, because the teammates are not seeking cooperation.
A hundred times, a thousand times, there may not be such a goal.
Another example is when a defensive player clears the ball and kicks a flaw, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity to score. You cannot summarize this as an expected or expected effect of the team's established tactics.
"The point is not what method they used, but that they did increase the probability of equalizing the score. Let me ask you, do you know the relationship between Millwall's number of attacks and goal rate?"
Aldridge's question confused Ronaldo, and he asked: "Does it matter? If you attack effectively, you can score, but if you attack ineffectively, you can't score."
"No, you have only seen the surface. It is true that if the attack is successful, goals will be scored, and if the attack is not successful, there will be no success. But let me tell you, Millwall averages 71 attacks per game, and the number of threatening attacks is 71.
It is 39 times, that is to say, on average we can score a goal in 22 attacks. With Blackburn's current tactical play, the offensive efficiency may be around 2%, which means they play 50 such attacks.
You can score a goal, do you understand what it means?"
Ronaldo is a smart kid, and he immediately said: "We have to limit their number of attacks."
Aldridge nodded. In fact, the statistics he mentioned do not represent all of football and cannot be used as a benchmark. However, such statistics can be used as a reference standard, which can at least explain why Millwall is so loved.
The average number of attacks ranks the highest in the Premier League, which represents their offensive strength and accuracy. The average number of threatening attacks per game is the highest, which represents their offensive quality. The highest offensive efficiency, which means that the offense is converted into more goals. In layman's terms, it is the scene.
It is pleasing to the eye, and they have the most of the football elements that fans want to see most.
"We have two ways to deal with this situation. The first is to strengthen the defense and reduce Blackburn's offensive efficiency from 2% to 1% or even lower. In other words, they will play like this a hundred times.
They can't score goals either. Then we have to shrink the formation and take the defensive area in the backcourt into our own hands, making it more difficult for them to grab the ball. Second, we strengthen our offense and improve our offensive efficiency. Understand what I mean.
Do you mean it?"
Aldrich said softly.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not in a hurry to play now. He feels that this is a valuable lesson taught to him by Aldrich, which will allow him to quickly improve his game reading ability.
It is a cliché to talk about game reading ability, which is very general and includes a view of the overall situation and a keen sense of the direction of the game.
If it were other players, Cristiano Ronaldo believed that Aldridge would not have said so much to those players, saying unpleasant things would just be a bullshit.
But Cristiano Ronaldo has strong self-confidence, and he also understands that Aldrich gave him the captain's armband, patiently cultivated him, and now guides him carefully. In fact, this is treating him with the standards of cultivating team leaders, and he must be a leader on the football field.
, not only relying on temperament, spirit, and scoring goals, you must have the ability to lead the whole team. This includes the ability to read the game very well, knowing when the team is in danger, and knowing when the team should do something.
Make changes. Cope with different situations. Come from well-founded thinking.
Aldrich never thought of cultivating Ronaldo in this way before, but when it came time to actually guide him and cultivate him, he inevitably placed higher expectations on him.
If you are simply training a forward, he does not need to do this.
But every time I think of Cristiano Ronaldo communicating with or even quarreling with his teammates' defenders, as a bystander, you would have a thought: This guy is in charge of scoring goals and directing the team's defense. Does that have anything to do with you?
Now as the head coach, Aldridge knows that it is a sense of responsibility and domination of the game. It is not just about scoring goals, it is not as simple as scoring goals. Such players are rare, so in order to avoid him having problems in the future.
This heart is just giving random directions and losing his temper. Aldrich would rather spend more time guiding him personally.
Ronaldo smiled and said: "Boss, let me go up and strengthen the attack!"
Aldridge asked: "Do you know the difference between you and Larmour?"
"I'm better than him."
"No, you are not better than him now. You are players with different characteristics."
"Why am I weaker than him?"
Ronaldo was not convinced and curled his lips.
In terms of speed, ball skills, strength confrontation, etc., Cristiano Ronaldo believes that if Lamore can do it, he can do it too. Lamore has some abilities that are equal to him at best, but he has more advantages than Lamore.
Aldrich shook his head and said solemnly: "In my eyes, excellent players are divided into three stages. The first stage is practicality, which means that you can use your own advantages to help the team. The second stage is control. This
It requires a certain foundation of experience. Like Ronaldinho and Pirlo, there are many players who are not inferior to them in terms of skills alone, but players who can control the game like them and change the rhythm of the game and the overall situation.
It’s rare. The third stage, which is the strongest, combines the first two and is both practical and practical.
He also has control and can completely dominate the game. Basically no one can maintain this level throughout his career, but occasionally there will be people who perform exceptionally and play games at this level, such as Henry, Ronaldinho, and Nedved.
Wait, after a season, their overall performance is good, but the games where they perform exceptionally well are just a handful of games. Larmore, he is an excellent player, at the top level in the first stage in my eyes.
And occasionally can reach the level of the second stage."
Ronaldo was silent.
Indeed, watching Larmore play, it is simple and practical, and he can maximize his skills to help the team. He can contribute two assists today, which is considered a better performance than usual. Even Aldrich can occasionally play
The level of the second stage.
Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly thought of Aldridge's roar at him. He now understood that in Aldridge's eyes, he had not yet completely combined skills and practicality, and only when he completely got rid of his flashy style could he be considered to have achieved it.
reached the level of the first stage.
At this point, Aldridge paused for a moment, and then said seriously: "Cristiano, you have been here at Millwall for almost five years. In the past few years, you have shown all the potential to become a superstar, so you are also
You are the best among your peers, but for you, your journey has just begun. I hope you can go on the right path and eventually realize your dreams."
Ronaldo nodded fiercely and said: "Boss, I know, I will remember every word you said."
"Okay, let me tell you now, you will replace Larmore after you come on the field, but you have different characteristics from him. You have to use your characteristics, speed, threat to the goal, and dribbling breakthroughs. Now you can't
You have to complete such a task alone, so you have to be smarter, you have to form a connection and a tacit understanding with Kaka, and your running route is like this."
Aldridge stretched out his left hand and simply gestured with four fingers, representing Blackburn's back four. His right index finger drew a trajectory on his left palm to explain to Ronaldo the areas to focus on after coming on the field.
After hearing this, Ronaldo asked: "Boss, how should we control the game?"
Aldrich smiled slightly. This boy was very ambitious. He wanted to learn to run before he could walk.
"You lack experience, it's hard for me to explain to you, but if you want to do this and make your opponent feel uncomfortable, then remember, don't just look ahead, pay more attention to Alonso and Gianluca Zambrotta behind you.
location."
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded resolutely and took the order. Two minutes later, Millwall made a substitution.
Cristiano Ronaldo replaced Larmour, who performed well today. After coming on the field, Cristiano Ronaldo went directly to Kaka and exchanged a few words with him. Kaka nodded frequently, knowing that this was the tactical requirement of the head coach.
Aldridge couldn't help but smile on the sidelines. He could watch the young Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo playing on the court. Although it was not as good as when they became top stars, it just gave people a different kind of pleasure to watch.
