This seems to be more like the first game of Cristiano Ronaldo's career. Not only is his attitude more serious than before, he has less desire to express himself and has more persistence in looking at the overall situation.
In the words he communicated with Kaka, in addition to Aldridge's tactical instructions, there were also some of his personal thoughts as a teammate.
The 17-year-old Kaká and the 19-year-old Kaká are currently in a parallel position on the field. Millwall's offensive attack group is an asymmetrical dislocation parallel 22 position.
Blackburn was still playing long passes, and Souness frequently raised his wrist to check his watch on the sidelines.
As Aldrich said, the success rate of Blackburn's tactics is not very high. Facing ordinary opponents, they can score one goal in 30 or 40 attacks. Facing Millwall, the average number must be more than 50.
Second-rate.
But this is just probability statistics. In fact, every attack is a random event. In other words, assuming that Blackburn needs 55 such attacks and 1 of them can succeed, then when did this successful 1 occur?
?No one can predict that it may be the first time, maybe the 55th time, maybe the 21st time. In short, the overall average offensive efficiency will remain roughly the same, but it is impossible to predict when it will appear.
Millwall has a higher ball possession rate and has more attacks. On the contrary, Blackburn has fewer attacks, especially the number of threatening attacks. Blind big-footed clearances will not be counted as an attack.
This kind of statistics may not be particularly conspicuous in modern times, but its core significance can be clearly seen a few years later in the game of Cosmos Barcelona. Barcelona's extremely high ball possession rate ensures the number of attacks, and at the same time greatly increases the number of attacks.
If the number of attacks of the opponent is limited and the offensive efficiency is higher than that of the opponent, then it is theoretically logical to defeat the opponent. This will trigger the later debate about "ball handling efficiency and passing efficiency".
The reason Souness looked at the time was because he knew Blackburn kept playing like this. If there was no "1" success in offensive efficiency within 90 minutes, then the game would be over, and the winner would take everything away, and the loser would
Those who have nothing.
Therefore, he is waiting for time. When the 80th minute comes, he will order the entire team to press forward, and in the last 10 minutes, the tactical success rate will be greatly improved. Correspondingly, the risk of conceding the ball will also be greatly increased.
But you have to take risks.
Just as Souness was frequently checking his watch to pay attention to the time, the situation on the court was quietly changing in developments invisible to the naked eye.
After Ronaldo came on the field, he did not assume the supporting role on the left side of the forward line like Larmore. His position was further back, close to parallel with Kaká.
As a result, Blackburn's defensive pressure on the right was suddenly reduced in a short period of time, and they did not experience any impact for more than 10 minutes.
After all, Larmour and Ronaldo have different characteristics. Larmour is good at threading the needle and breaking into the penalty area to play the role of a killer. He rarely sticks to the ball and averages less than one breakthrough per game.
The original configuration was pretty good at the start, with Larmour leading the way, Kaká focusing on breakthroughs, Klose at center, and Villa having the hidden threat of cutting inside. The frontcourt attack group configuration was relatively comprehensive, and each
All kinds of elements are present.
This balanced situation was broken after Cristiano Ronaldo came on the field, and now they highlight the advantages of a certain offensive method.
For example, Kaka and Ronaldo's dribbling threats threaten.
After more than ten minutes of playing, Cristiano Ronaldo got into the zone and figured out the specific situation on the field. For example, if he stood on the front line and was stared at by the opponent's defender, then he would be in a difficult situation and suffer a lot in physical confrontation.
, after all, he is only 17 years old. No matter how hard they work to temper their bodies, they still cannot gain the upper hand against powerful guards who are over 25 years old.
He retreated, parallel to Kaká, and ran without the ball in the opponent's backline to create space for himself while also maintaining close contact with Kaká.
In the 78th minute, Souness was about to order the team to launch a desperate counterattack and stage a last-ditch effort.
However, at this moment, Millwall's position battle was initiated by Alonso. He dribbled the ball forward and came to the opponent's midfielder line. After attracting the attention of the opponent's central midfielder, he immediately passed the ball
Gave it to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo got the ball and dribbled forward resolutely. He was only 3 meters away from the opponent's right back midfielder. After starting, he made a fake move of riding a bicycle and changing directions to pull the ball when he was 1 meter away from the opponent. After all, the person defending him
He is not a first-class player. The first move was to grab the ball. After Ronaldo's fake move, his body reacted with hesitation. When he came back to his senses, Ronaldo had already succeeded in breaking through, but he did not completely get rid of the opponent. It was just in this moment.
In an instant, Ronaldo opened the space and then passed diagonally to the right.
Behind Kaka was the opponent's midfielder, who was defending Alonso. At this time, he got rid of this person and asked the midfielder on the left side to quickly come over to defend. Kaka saw Ronaldo passing the ball, and it was
It gave him the advance amount, and I secretly praised in my heart. Cristiano Ronaldo's breakthrough created an opening for passing the ball, and also gave Kaka time to accelerate. Maybe this is only 1 to 2 seconds, but it is extremely crucial.
.
After starting, Kaka rushed forward at lightning speed. The opponent's defensive left midfielder would meet with the spot where Kaka touched the ball. The two would collide, but Kaka continued to accelerate. When he completely rushed forward.
After that, he gently moved the ball forward, and Blackburn's left midfielder rushed over, just passing by Kaka. Kaka dribbled the ball forward and broke through Blackburn's back waist line!
While Kaka was dribbling the ball forward, a white figure not far away from the left side quickly caught up with him and kept pace with him.
Kaka, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, glanced to that side. Not surprisingly, it was Cristiano Ronaldo with a cold expression and his legs flying as if he were about to spread his wings. Millwall was drawn away today, and he was wearing a white away shirt.
Jersey.
"After getting the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through a defensive player and passed the ball to Kaka. Kaka also broke through and got rid of a defensive player. Now, these two young players are rushing forward. In front of them is Blackburn.
The back line! Can you break through this last defensive line? This is really an exciting scene! The cheers from the Millwall fans on site became even louder!"
When they were about to enter the penalty area, Blackburn's back line quickly adjusted. The two central defenders had a clear mind. This time the defense was very reasonable. One player went outside to block Kaká, and the other player stood behind Crowley.
Ze stared at him closely from behind, and even made small movements with his hands to entangle Klose.
Kaka's speed is not slowing down, and Ronaldo is still rushing forward. At the last moment, Kaka is about to have a head-on confrontation with the opponent's central defender. It's time for Kaka to make a decision. Should he continue to break through? Then he must change direction, but he
He did not choose to take risks or pass the ball to Ronaldo. Instead, he quickly passed the ball and the ball rolled diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.
When the central defender began to move inward, Villa began to cut inward, and the space came out!
Kaka passed the ball, and there was obvious space on Villa's side. The opponent's goalkeeper immediately abandoned the goal and went out to block Villa.
Villa is followed by the opponent's full-back. He can't stop the ball, absolutely not!
Otherwise, the probability of losing the ball is very high.
The goalkeeper came out to block. The angle could not have been smaller, but Villa never thought about shooting from the beginning. As a product of Millwall's youth training, Millwall's tactical philosophy has already been imprinted in his mind.
In this kind of positional battle, he is on the front line and has very little room to move forward. Then his responsibilities will change. He has already begun to get a glimpse of the core role switching. Naturally, he is not as mature as Larson.
He's smart, but he won't lose his temper at critical moments.
"Cross pass! Villa didn't shoot, cross pass! Blackburn has an empty goal!"
Klose was entangled by the opponent's center back in the middle. In turn, Klose was able to drag the opponent's center back. Both of them were two meters away from the ball that passed by the sliding door. They accelerated without starting.
In this state, one was unable to shoot and the other was unable to clear the ball. They watched helplessly as the ball rolled past one meter in front of the goal line.
Villa kept looking at that side after passing the ball. He knew that the ball was not passed to Klose, because Klose was dragged in place by the opponent's hidden hand movements and could not use his strength.
.
However, someone should be able to get there behind the goal!
That brat who pretends to be cool every day!
When the ball had already rolled past the goal post on the other side of the goal, a figure came quickly to the ground and swept the ball into the goal with one kick!
After completing the sweep action, with the strong inertia, the goal scorer stood up outside the baseline with one hand on the ground, his cold face showing an extraordinarily wild and exciting look.
"Cristiano Ronaldo! 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut in the League Cup final and scored a goal in less than 20 minutes after coming on the court! This may be a record, we don't know, we still need to play
Check it again later, it is now 3:1, 3:1, Millwall has almost secured the victory! What a powerful Millwall
Millwall, what a passionate Millwall! 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, 19-year-old Kaká, 21-year-old Villa, 23-year-old Klose, this is an attacking group with an average age of only 20 years old, Millwall
Wall is known as the Young Guards. This season, relying on their young lineup, they are only 11 minutes away from winning the first championship of the new year!"
Ronaldo raised his arms, grabbed each other's palms with Kaká who was running over, and smiled at each other. Then, they were quickly surrounded by their teammates, and even Southgate and other players in the backcourt rushed over to celebrate the goal.
Schneider was the last one to run over, rush up and jump, lying on top of everyone's heads, laughing unbridled.
On the bench, Larson and the others also stood up and applauded. Larson turned to Henry and smiled and said: "It seems that you will have another competitor soon."
Henry smiled and said nothing. Although he saw that the juniors in the team were starting to make a difference, his biggest threat in the team still came from Klose, not the 17-year-old Ronaldo. The level he is currently at is completely
You can ignore all the young geniuses in the world.
Aldridge secretly nodded, training and training. When the training reaches a certain level and the harvest begins, the sense of satisfaction and achievement is indescribable. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká are still in their infancy, but Villa, Klose, and Aaron
The maturity of these players makes him very proud.
At the end of the celebration, Ronaldo still clenched his fists in front of him and waved. Kaka turned around and asked with a smile: "It's not enough, right?"
Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were full of ambition, and he said of course: "It's definitely not enough! Kaka, we can shock the world!"
Kaka stared deeply at Ronaldo. He never felt that the superstars of the first team were so special because everyone was so easy-going. However, in front of him, this 17-year-old player who was younger than him made him feel something special.
He has an alternative temperament and seems to be born with an unabashed ambition to dominate everything. (To be continued...)
