In fact, Millwall played this game today, and they were a little uncomfortable facing Barcelona who took the initiative to attack in the away game.
How long has it been since they met an opponent who dared to challenge them at the Lion King Stadium?
My memory of Millwall's double or even three games a week is really blurry. I can't remember the name of the opponent who dared to do this last time. Maybe it's because even if the opponent has the courage, they can't perform it.
Come out, or be suppressed by Millwall in the early stages of the game and collapse.
Barcelona, which dares to attack and has enough people and a balanced attack group, today encountered an opponent who can pose a high threat in attack.
Southgate glanced at Aldridge on the coaching bench. He didn't believe that his boss couldn't see that Millwall's back line was giving the opponent a large amount of offensive space, especially in the case of anti-offside space.
The reality that the line of defense is more dangerous.
Southgate is self-aware. One-on-one, Millwall's four defenders, including himself, are no match for Rivaldo. In the past, when they faced such opponents, they first had to compress the space and prevent the opponent from offside.
The space behind them, in this way, firstly reduces the worries of the back line, and then through team defense, they can intercept the opponent in a small area in a layered manner. As long as the opponents with strong individual ability, they rely on this method to limit the opponent.
of.
But Aldridge sat there calmly and showed no signs of adjusting his tactics. Southgate no longer thought about it. He knew that what Aldridge was thinking was not something he could understand. Maybe only
Counter-evidence can only be conducted after 90 minutes.
Southgate had a discussion with Gattuso and asked Gattuso to increase the depth of his defense. When facing Rivaldo locally, there must be at least two layers of defense. One person presses and the other person waits for opportunities.
Even if the interception cannot be successful, you must delay the opponent's forward impact and buy time for other teammates to fill in and help defend.
Barcelona got a goal back and the momentum returned. Now both teams were completely in the game. The game scene, confrontation, intensity, and rhythm instantly increased to unprecedented heights.
"Wow, the game is getting more and more exciting. Nedved's shot from the penalty area missed the post. Barcelona quickly organized a fast break. Serge Cocu and Enrique received the ball. Schneider intercepted
The ball was successful, Millwall attacked, Pirlo, Larsson, Larsson sent a direct pass, Henry returned in the penalty area
Squeeze, will he shoot? No! Beautiful! Henry passed the ball to Ronaldinho who came to the middle of the penalty area and shot! Bonanno confiscated the ball. Ronaldinho's shot was too angled.
Well, his shooting didn’t feel very good today, the angle was a bit off from long distance, and the angle at close range was too straight!”
The pace of the game is very fast. Barcelona wants to attack, but it is a bit difficult to directly penetrate Millwall's defense with the ball from behind, because Millwall deliberately guards against the opponent and strengthens the close pressing of the wide players.
, Zambrotta guaranteed one thing in the confrontation with Overmars, the ball and the man can only pass one by one!
Schneider and Enrique are entangled. As a result, Barcelona's offensive cooperation requirements are very high. They must kick the ball when organizing the offense, and must ensure the success rate. If the ball is missed, they will immediately
It's going to be Millwall's attack.
In the 37th minute of the game, Cocu caught the ball in the midfield and couldn't find the ball release point for a while. Millwall's high-pressure press suddenly blocked his ball release angle, which perfectly cut Barcelona's offensive formation. Maybe as long as he passed
Two seconds, one second, Barcelona's attacking group runs without the ball
He could successfully catch the ball when he ran out of space, but at this moment, Pirlo stood still like a sculpture in front of Cocu, just making a defensive posture, with no idea of taking the ball. Cocu hesitated.
, someone behind him stretched out his foot to poke the ball away, and the person behind him poked the ball and left him.
Cocu subconsciously moved forward to grab the ball he lost, but saw Pirlo pass the ball behind him from between his legs.
Cocu turned around and saw Nedvěd leading the ball forward, striding towards Barcelona's penalty area. No need to think about it, it must have been Nedved who passed the ball to Pirlo from behind him.
Nedved dribbled the ball forward without any rush to release the ball. When Rosenbach had to come up to defend him, Nedved easily passed the ball to Larsson, who cut from the right to the center in front of the penalty area.
.
Larsson kept dribbling horizontally after touching the ball. Barcelona's back line did not dare to rush forward, especially the center backs. They believed that as long as they stepped up, Larsson would definitely be able to pass the ball to Henry or Ronald, who was cutting inside on the other side.
Dinho, or Nedved, who is now advancing towards the center of the goal, provided an assist.
At this moment, Barcelona's defenders had a ridiculous thought: Oh my God, looking at it this way, our defense is really full of holes! Is this the second-to-last defense in La Liga that concedes the most goals?
When they were worried about Larsson's pass or the space in the penalty area, Larsson suddenly took a shot in front of the penalty area!
With no interference at all, Larsson shot freely from the right side of the penalty area. He used his right foot to curl the ball into the goal.
When goalkeeper Bonanno saw the ball flying towards the goal, he immediately moved a step towards the near post, but just after taking a step, he suddenly stopped, his eyes were horrified, and he discovered incredulously: This ball was flying towards the far goal.
Pillar!
At first glance, if it is a straight line from when Larson takes off his foot until the ball flies into the air, it must be flying towards the near post of the goal, that is, towards the near corner.
However, the ball rotated strongly and drew a dazzling arc as it flew. It was light, beautiful, and weird!
Absolutely banana balls!
Bonanno did not make a save. He made a misjudgment. After moving one step, he had lost all chances to block the attack. He turned his head and looked to the right side of his body, watching the ball spin strongly and fly into the goal.
, rubbing against the inner net of the goal and constantly rotating, without any sense of power impact.
"Larsson scored a goal like a work of art! What a wonderful arc. The ball speed is just right, so that people can't feel the impact of power. But it has a soft and intoxicating perfect arc! This is a great goal.
The goal also reminds people of five years ago. He had the same curved kick against Barcelona. It was elegant and light, but it could kill people! 3:1, Millwall once again expanded its lead.
Two balls arrived!”
What a coincidence, what a coincidence.
Among the fans of the home team watching the game at the Lion King Stadium today, there was actually a fan holding up a photo of Larsson hitting a wonderful curve ball in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup. Now not only this fan is so excited that he has taken this painting
Holding it high made him become the focus of the live broadcast camera.
The Lion King Stadium is boiling. In the Millwall team, which is full of strong players and masters, Larsson has many nicknames. "Spirit Fox" has been mentioned the most in the past few years, and now, Millwall's
The four attacking groups all have titles recognized by fan organizations.
Henry is the king of killers.
Ronaldinho is the Elf King.
Nedved is the god of war.
Larsson, fans proudly call him: King of Heroes!
Not only has he become the hero of the team countless times, but he has also been with the team from 1994 to today, and has made countless achievements against giants. It is no exaggeration to call him the king!
Larson ran backwards on the sidelines again and stuck out his tongue, being chased wildly by his teammates.
Aldridge was gesturing with the coaching staff off the court, trying to describe the trajectory of Larson's curve ball. This ball will be talked about by countless people.
Rexach frowned deeply, and he discovered a fatal problem: the efficiency of organizing offense.
Millwall's success rate in pushing the offense into the most dangerous areas through the midfield is very high. This is thanks to Barcelona's active attack today to weaken the defense. However, Barcelona faced Millwall's high-pressure press and could not compete with the opponent in terms of organizational efficiency.
To compete with each other, especially once the ball is lost in the midfield, Millwall's offensive space will be too much for the offensive players to play.
Larsson cuts across from the side, and what's the use of just the full-back chasing him behind?
Why don't you just watch him finish the shot with ease without any hindrance!
Barcelona can take some comfort in themselves.
2:0 and 3:1, obviously 3:1 is better, so the current situation should be slightly better than the situation of conceding two goals in the first 15 minutes.
Rexach shook his head and stopped thinking.
Barcelona cannot repeat the mistakes of Bayern Munich!
Bayern Munich, which relies on the team as a whole and has many excellent defensive players, lost two games against Millwall. How badly did Bayern Munich lose? This is a lesson learned from the past.
If Bayern Munich can't stop Millwall with such extreme defensive counterattacks, Rexach doesn't think Barcelona can do better than Bayern Munich.
Another point is that Barcelona cannot be disturbed. Like the mistakes made by Hitzfield in the first game, Rexach is very taboo and cannot be led by the nose by Millwall!
Stick to yourself and never waver!
attack!
Barcelona must rely on offense to win and rely on offense to advance to the semi-finals!
Three minutes later, Barcelona launched another fast break. Overmars took the ball from the wing and was knocked to the ground by Gianluca Zambrotta from behind. The referee awarded Barcelona a free kick.
Zambrotta saw that the team's defensive formation was not ready yet, so he deliberately blocked the ball and prevented Overmars from passing forward. However, Overmars still quickly kicked the ball out and passed it back.
Ronaldinho was a step too late to defend his teammate who was rushing up from behind him, and was directly passed over the head by the opponent after receiving the ball.
Zambrotta did not expect Barcelona to cooperate like this. After Overmars passed the ball, he rushed forward from him. Zambrotta was caught off guard. Peter Pan stopped the ball in front of the baseline and passed the ball.
middle!
In this wave of attacks, Barcelona played really fast and hard, not giving Millwall the slightest chance. The entire defense line was running backwards. This time, Kluivert seized the opportunity in front of the goal and headed the ball.
Door!
"Butt made a world-class save to deny Kluivert's header from close range!"
The distance was too close, and Bute had no way to control the ball. He could only block it, and the ball bounced into the penalty area. Millwall's defenders just chased back, braked, turned around, and rushed towards the ball to make a clearance.
Because they saw Rivaldo grabbing the spot and taking advantage of the situation to hit the goal!
It's a pity that Rivaldo's shot hit a low ball. Butt subconsciously used his body to block it, and raised his thigh to block the ball again!
"Bout has made another meritorious service! It's incredible! Oh, oh, it's not over yet, it's not over yet!"
This time, due to the powerful shot of Rivaldo, the ball bounced out of the penalty area. However, outside the penalty area, Enrique happened to be at that point. He stopped the ball, pulled the ball horizontally to create an angle, and shot with a kick.
The ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal. There was no one in that area. Millwall didn't even have anyone to block the hole!
Bute put his hands on his hips and tilted his head slightly, showing a wry smile to Southgate and others, as if to say: My brother has already performed beyond normal, this third time, he really can't stop it! (To be continued...)
