---------------------------------------
Aldridge, who had been standing on the sidelines since the beginning of the game, looked calm and had a look of confidence in his eyes.
Millwall was at home, and Real Madrid came to make a comeback and fight tooth and nail. However, from the start, Real Madrid's offense could not advance forward at all from the center.
Compared with the first round, Millwall's central defense is obviously tougher!
Nedvěd played in the midfield today instead of as an attacking midfielder. The starting area compressed the midfield line, and there would definitely be no chance of being late to return to position when retreating in defense.
Gattuso and Nedvěd are both tough guys who can't run away. They are tenacious and tough in defense. Together with Pirlo's mobile wall, Millwall is very effective in sniping Real Madrid's offense in the midfield.
Real Madrid had to shift their offense to the wing, but once they went to the wing, it was very difficult to move back to the center. They obviously were not calm enough and could not bear their temper. They rushed forward determinedly with a wave of attacks.
The idea of braking and controlling the rhythm may be the pressure of having to score at least 3 goals affecting their mentality.
Even if they beat Millwall 2:0 away from home, they will be eliminated because they score fewer away goals than Millwall, so their minimum goal is to score 3 goals and limit Millwall from scoring.
Whether Millwall's key offensive area today was decided on the spot or based on the opponent's starting lineup. Since Helguera has withdrawn to play as a central defender, the defensive strength of the defensive midfielder will be reduced.
Why is Aldrich so confident?
Of course it's a matter of Real Madrid's configuration.
Especially when Figuola came to the side, Millwall organized the attack. The midfield was their world. Zidane behind them and Raul further away naturally couldn't catch up with the speed of their attack.
In the 11th minute of the game, after several consecutive attempts to attack, Millwall was roughly familiar with Real Madrid's defensive system today. After figuring out the opponent's strength and layout, they would show their trump card.
When Salgado wanted to repeat his old trick of picking the ball up from the wing to find Morientes, Zambrotta did not give him this opportunity. Millwall's defense in the midfield and backcourt was very strong today, and they were not worried about being counterattacked by their opponents.
Nedved could go back, so Zambrotta didn't have to get into the penalty area. Salgado kicked the ball, and Zambrotta blocked it with his body.
The ball bounced forward. Pirlo stopped the ball and Solari quickly counterattacked. Pirlo and Nedvěd hit the wall twice in a row and stunned Solari. Then Pirlo was slightly behind.
But he rushed forward with the ball, and before Salgado returned to defend, Pirlo directly passed the ball and kicked the ball to the front of the wing.
Real Madrid's full-back on this side is not in position. Henry has room to get the ball after he pulls wide. Hierro does not dare to leave the penalty area to help defend and guard the dangerous area of the penalty area.
Henry saw that Real Madrid's frontcourt players were still a long way from returning to defense, so he slowed down slightly. His explosive power was enough to scare Hierro.
Dribbling the ball to the edge of the penalty area, Henry cut in from the wing and Hierro stepped forward. He could not retreat. If the 45-degree area of the penalty area was vacated for Henry, Henry might be able to shoot into the far corner.
Breaking the goal, Henry's stunning performance of picking up the ball, half-turning and volleying in the last round will never be forgotten.
Makelele saw two players in the middle of Millwall at high speed, Nedved and Kaká!
Kaka is in front and Nedved is behind.
In this game, it is obvious that Millwall's forward penetration in the center is faster than in the previous game. The effect is that when Real Madrid weakens the defense of the midfielder, the defensive pressure in the middle of the penalty area rises sharply.
Choose one, who to follow?
Makelele's head was spinning, and he finally chose to follow Kaká, but not completely. At the same time, he tried to get closer to Henry and block his passing route.
Henry suddenly changed direction and chose to go towards the baseline. With his move, Real Madrid's entire defense retreated. During this change of pace, Henry kicked the ball back and passed the ball back to Nedved.
Nedved did not rush forward, but Henry's lower base created a wider space for him. Makelele reacted quickly and rushed out immediately to block the angle of Nedved's long shot.
.
Nedvěd watched his former teammate rush up. He calmly dribbled the ball horizontally to get an angle. Then when Makelele stretched his leg to block, his ankle flicked and the ground ball passed to Makelele's side.
behind.
Makelele was shocked, Nedvěd didn’t even shoot!
Behind him?
Elgra, it’s up to you!
Hierro must be restrained by Henry, and the only person Makelele can count on is Helgra.
However, Helguera was also restrained by Larsson who was cutting inside. Although he was trying to find a balance, in fact, at that moment, Helguera was more like being double-teamed by Kaká and Larsson.
Carlos seems to be close to Larsson, but he is on the outside. If Larsson cuts inside to take the shot, what can Carlos do from behind Larsson?
Helguera saw Nedvěd's passing line and immediately moved to the right. He completely gave up on Larsson and aimed for Kaka!
The ball was passed along Kaka's right foot. The goal was less than 12 yards in front of Kaka. Goalkeeper Cesar abandoned the goal and Helgra came to block it. Kaka knew that he had no chance to adjust.
, so he turned slightly sideways and quickly shot with his foot!
He touched the ball before Helguera, and the ball swept towards Real Madrid's goal. Cesar subconsciously reached out to block it, and his fingertips actually touched the ball, causing the ball to change direction slightly, but the distance was too close.
Kaká deliberately exerted his force, and the ball was extremely fast and flew into Real Madrid's goal!
"Kaka! Kaka! Kaka, who turned 20 just after his birthday four days ago, scored! He opened the scoring for Millwall! The surprise troops sent by Hall responded with miraculous results, and Millwall led 1:0 at home.
Real Madrid, leading with a total score of 6:3! Real Madrid now needs to score at least 4 goals to advance to the final!"
Kaká quickly got up from the ground after scoring the goal. Many female fans in the stands were excited with his posters, and they applauded for a long time. This was the recognition and encouragement from the home team fans to the young players.
After Kaka muttered with his hands in the sky, he started running all the way. On the way, he high-fived Larson to celebrate, and then ran towards the home team's coaching bench.
Aldridge was already ready to high-five Kaka in celebration. He bent down and stretched out his palms to laugh, more like a boxer about to punch, but Kaká rushed over and jumped directly on Aldridge.
body and hugged him from the front!
Four days ago, Kaká turned 20 and the club celebrated his birthday the day before the game against Charlton. At the same time, Kaká was given a new contract and his salary doubled.
He only joined last summer, but as a substitute player for the first team this season, his growth and performance on the field have been recognized by the coaching staff, especially since this child is obedient and a good baby, and does not cause trouble off the field, even in nightclubs.
Neither of them will go. Millwall gave him a new contract less than a year after joining, just to keep him. It showed their firm determination to lock in his future.
Kaka was very grateful for this. Although his father took it for granted and even felt that the salary offered by Millwall was less, Kaka happily signed the contract.
Aldrich's expectations for him were actually a kind of pressure, so when Kaká hugged Aldrich, he said something that made Aldrich dumbfounded.
"Boss, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Aldrich patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's just a game. You are only 20 years old. There is still a long time to come. This is the semi-finals of the Champions League. Yes, but it is just your career."
A game at the beginning of a career doesn't mean anything."
Kaka smiled, and then his teammates swarmed around him.
Aldridge kept waving his arms up and down, and the already passionate Lion King Stadium became even more boiling, and the atmosphere was extremely fiery.
He inadvertently glanced at Del Bosque, who was sinking like water on the coaching bench next door, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Did Millwall hit 442 today?
No, Millwall played 433 today!
Kaká is actually a shadow striker, ambushing behind Larsson and Henry. There are two killers in front of him to contain and tear up the defense. Later, Nedved comes up to press the midfielder line. Nedved, Larsson,
Henry, the three points in this tripod are undoubtedly more famous than Kaká and look more threatening than him, but the core of Millwall's offense, Aldrich made it very clear to the team in the opening stage
:You just want to create opportunities for Kaka!
If Real Madrid wants to attack, is it okay to just rely on the frontcourt players to play positional battles slowly? No, the full-backs must go up, at least one up, one up, and the horizontal defensive area of the back line will be expanded.
The deterrence of Larsson and Henry cutting in from the side, even if Real Madrid's defense is perfect, at least two defenders will face Larsson and Henry diagonally. If Makelele follows Kaká, Nedved
This will allow him to freely display his heavy artillery ability from the outside. If Makélélé comes to block Nedvěd, then Kaka’s forward penetration will at least be a one-on-one opportunity. Moreover, if he enters the penalty area, as long as there is space and angle,
Just start, why do you have to get past the defender and get one-on-one with the goalkeeper?
This is still under perfect circumstances. Just now, Real Madrid's defense was not perfect.
It is not so much that Aldridge sent in a surprise force and Kaká played a miraculous effect, but it is better to say that in the absence of Ronaldinho today, Millwall's frontcourt attack group sublimated the tactical effect of teamwork. Henry and Larsson
Aldridge's ability to play both sides and hit goals was cultivated by Aldridge, and his awareness of covering Kaká on the front line and his cooperation without hesitation further reflects the foundation of Millwall's team.
From the first minute of this game, Real Madrid was actually in a deadlock. They had to attack. However, Millwall was obviously faster than them in terms of offensive and defensive transition rhythm, and in the midfield configuration, Aldrich
I think Millwall is stronger than Real Madrid, even if the opponent has Zidane, Figo and Makelele.
But in the final analysis, in terms of matchup efficiency, Makelele's defense and Gattuso are not bad either. Zidane's starting organizational area is in the area around the center circle. Pirlo specializes in this. His personal ability to attack is lacking.
Ronaldinho and Millwall may not have anyone who can compete with Figo, but they have a fast offensive and defensive rhythm and simply take advantage of their speed. Among Kaká, Larsson and Henry, which one is slower? The most important comparison is the inner
DeWide's performance.
Zidane is a technical master, while Nedved is a fighter. There is no comparison between the two, and their positions and functions are also different. Therefore, it is meaningless to compare them. Zidane's organizational function is to compete with that of Pierre
Compared with Los Angeles, after the last game, in the technical statistics, Pirlo was
According to the statistics of the time period before being replaced, Pirlo passed more passes than Zidane, and the success rate was basically the same. In terms of organizational role on the field, Pirlo and Zidane were evenly matched in the last performance, although Zidane was superior.
His scoring statistics are better than Pirlo's, but Aldridge doesn't value those.
Nedved is not the core of defense, not the core of organization, not the core of offense, but Nedved can become the spiritual leader of Millwall, because the transition between offense and defense requires him to be a team player and drive the overall existence of players, so that Millwall can achieve success.
The entire team will be sublimated again after quantifying their capabilities!
When the coach has done all his calculations and organized defense, organization, and offense, it is obviously not enough, because even with the strongest defensive commander, you cannot lead a defense line to directly face the impact of the opponent's attack group.
But standing still, the strongest organizational core cannot simply continuously deliver artillery shells to the attacking group, and the strongest offensive core cannot achieve continuous invincibility.
Coincidentally, this concept will be implemented by Real Madrid in the next few years.
Top defender, top organizer, top forward, why are Real Madrid getting further and further away from the championship?
Aldridge feels that Real Madrid is missing one element, the lubricant that shapes the whole, the catalyst that sublimates the team, and perfectly connects the whole. He is lucky that he has Nedvěd. Without him, Millwall's defense will be poor.
The pressure will skyrocket, and the offensive power will plummet. Yes
Yes, he is not the core of tactics, but he is the most critical fighter under Aldridge. The offensive core can be replaced, and Aldridge, the organizational core, is also ready to be replaced. The defensive core will also enter the rhythm of upgrading in the next few years, but inside
For a player like Nedved, how he wishes Nedved could be ten years younger.
He never thought about who was stronger in the original history, Zidane of Juventus or Nedved, the later "successor". Zidane was the master of art, while Nedved, the iron man, would become a master of his own generation ten years later.
