Many people think that the balance of 442 is an advantage. This advantage is that there are many choices for changing directions: 3w.
If you want to attack, you can aggressively invest your offensive forces; if you want to defend, you can also shrink your formation.
When it comes to tactical changes, we must first focus on the balance point, while other formations may be more offensive or conservative. During the change, if it is an extreme change, it is easy to tear apart the tactical system of your own team.
But Aldridge doesn't think so, even though some people criticize his bold tactical system this season for being too radical and lacking control.
Just like the number of games they lost points in the league, it was almost the same.
The opponent defended extremely well against Millwall's counterattack.
If the opponent scores the first goal, then Millwall's game will be very difficult.
Because you have played all the offensive cards, the strongest offensive pressure will hit the opponent's defense from the beginning. As the opponent adapts, they will become more and more experienced. How can Millwall change? Should they invest more offensive forces? Defense
Don’t want it anymore?
Aldrich never retorted to the public because it was meaningless.
In his eyes, what Millwall lacks is overall rhythm control, not whether the offense is too aggressive!
In today's situation of being 0:2 behind, Aldridge made changes in two aspects.
First, the back line and the full backs' offensive investment is weakened. One bold attack and the other solid defense. The back line is normally a 3-back system.
Second, Nedvěd retreats to play as a central midfielder, and together with Alonso and Pedretti, he supports midfield control and strengthens the defense in the middle. Normally, there are 3 midfielders.
Then Millwall changes from 244 to 334 or 343, because Ronaldinho has more space and will cut inside to become an attacking midfielder.
This is a way of passively using the team to control the overall rhythm, rather than directing the entire team through the core organization. The overall rhythm of the game will first slow down, and then accelerate based on the explosion of a single point.
Aldridge doesn't like this kind of heroic outburst to change the game, because in the long run, such a rhythm change model lacks stability. After all, the state of top players will also have periodic declines or downturns. If
If you are used to this mode, when there are no heroes on the field, the team may not know how to win and how to activate the team's energy to change the game.
The reality is that even if you don't like it, you have to accept it.
Wenger's preparation before the game was very good and caught Aldridge off guard. However, in terms of on-the-spot command of the game, Aldridge prided himself on being better than Wenger.
After Millwall made changes, Arsenal did not quickly adjust their offensive strategy. They continued to counterattack by pushing flatly through the middle. They encountered Millwall's tit-for-tat intensive defensive sniping in the middle. Only Ljungberg pulled the ball.
With the sides tearing apart width, Millwall's three defenders and three midfielders will not give Arsenal more openings. In particular, the connection between the midfield line and the back line becomes closer, and Arsenal's counterattack cannot advance to
Millwall frequently strangled dangerous areas.
Aldridge stood expressionless on the sidelines, and the fans in the stands were inevitably depressed. Last year's Christmas game, oh, not just the Christmas game, the entire December last year, except for the Toyota Cup at the beginning of the month, Millwall simply
It was a disastrous performance. They were forced out of the Champions League in the last round and failed to win any subsequent games.
I finally felt like I wanted to have a good year this year, but I didn’t expect to be beaten 2:0 by Arsenal before the first half was over.
Some fans who are not firm enough may complain in their hearts: If the young coach had played more conservatively, the score probably would not be what it is now.
Arsenal are very strong in the league, but they are not invincible due to the constraints of their on-field and tactical deficiencies.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, at home, Arsenal was beaten 3:0 by Inter Milan, who also had the same anti-counterfeiting philosophy. Cooper had already dismissed class in Italy. That was after Moratti was tied in the sixth round of Serie A.
Cooper suffered a painful blow in Italy, and the pressure he suffered in Italy was far greater than Wenger. In addition to an impatient boss, the Italian media continued to criticize Inter Milan, the runner-up last season. It was nothing more than the team's lack of control and lack of control.
The scene was ugly.
That is to say, in the Premier League, most teams will not set up a bus when facing a non-high-profile public enemy. Especially at home, they still have to take care of the fans' viewing experience and make the game more open. Arsenal's living space is definitely more comfortable than Inter Milan.
, however, at home, when Arsenal wanted to attack, they were destroyed by Inter Milan.
The Gunners also lost one game in the Champions League in October, against Dynamo Kyiv away from home. This must be due to the Ukrainian team's inherent advantage. However, Arsenal, who only scored 1 point in three games, almost missed the top 16 of the Champions League.
Fortunately, the teams that played Russia and Ukraine in the end were all at home, so they did not have to fight against the odds in a freezing environment. Another classic game was a 5:1 away victory over Inter Milan. Except for Inter Milan, who had gone through a coaching change.
Turbulence, in fact, is still the same old routine. Arsenal defend against counterattacks and the opponent attacks. Arsenal's counterattack power is unparalleled.
So in September, Inter Milan, still coached by Cooper, was able to defeat Arsenal in the away game, but in November, Arsenal went to the away game to avenge their defeat.
Aldrich's formation changes are a tried and tested technique among his on-the-spot command methods: luring the enemy.
As long as the opponent is not absolutely utilitarian, and just steps back when he scores a goal or takes the lead, even if the opponent still counterattacks, there is room for his methods to be used.
Let Arsenal counterattack, and then based on the opponent's attack, there is space in the frontcourt. While the opponent's counterattack fails, Millwall switches offense and defense to speed up the attack!
Before the end of the first half, they took advantage of such an opportunity. When Ibrahimovic and Bergkamp encountered Millwall's crazy pressing in the middle and made a mistake, Millwall quickly launched a wave of fast breaks. Nedwy
Germany dribbled the ball straight from the center, and when facing Vieira, he distributed the ball to Ronaldinho. The latter had room to start and immediately exploded to speed up.
He dribbled laterally to get rid of Lauren, and then went inside to cut straight into the ribs. When Campbell and Vieira rushed over to defend, Ronaldinho and Villa performed a one-two, and the passing and running cooperation was very tacit. Ronaldinho went straight in.
In the penalty area, he shot a low shot diagonally towards the goal. The ball rubbed the inside of the near corner and rolled into the goal.
Millwall raced against time to recover a goal, but Aldridge's expression remained unchanged.
Wenger's face became a little nervous.
There was no further achievement from either side in the first half.
In the second half, Wenger's team tried to control the game, but this was not what they were good at. Faced with the pressing pressure of the Millwall team, wanting to dominate the game at the Lion King Stadium? It was obviously fanciful.
In the 60th minute of the game, after Wenger saw that the team's strong attack on the center was no longer effective, he immediately asked the team to switch back to the normal counterattack routine, combining the sides and center, and using the width of the court as much as possible.
Aldridge saw the tricks, and the team returned to the track of targeted deployment before the game. Their focus was to limit the penetration and cooperation in the dangerous zone of the opponent's penalty area. Nesta blocked Ibrahimovic, Neal and
Pedretti, who retreated deeper, locked the space in the ribs to guard against opponents who came in from behind. This defense was very effective in a short period of time. Arsenal failed to counterattack three times in a row.
In the 70th minute, Aldrich removed Larson and replaced him with Larmour. This substitution quickly had a miraculous effect.
Larmour did not take over Larsson's position. Instead, he organized on the wing, while Ronaldinho gave up organizing and directly transformed into a shadow striker.
In an attack in the 76th minute, Larmore and Schneider, who came in behind, moved laterally to the center after cooperating on the wing. Arsenal's midfielder focused on being wary of Ronaldinho and Nedvěd. Unexpectedly, Larmore
They came to the middle, and when Larmore passed the ball to Ronaldinho's feet, Ronaldinho passed the ball across the small penalty area to assist Villa in front of the goal and scored, the Lion King Stadium was completely boiling.
Aldrich still didn't smile, he just waved his hand and asked the team to go back and kick off again, striving for a reversal in the final stage!
Wenger was in a terrible mood.
The two-goal lead was regained. He no longer held on, nor did he want to show off as a strong team. He just let the team weaken the offense and strengthen the defense. This is their common attitude in away games this season. As long as they can take the lead, they will play the ultimate defense and strengthen even more.
Defensively, in the face of Millwall's very oppressive attack, they started to defend in the first half. Wenger was afraid of having a long night and there was not much time left. In addition, the players' physical fitness was declining. He was satisfied with just one point.
Because of the atmosphere at the Lion King Stadium and the comparison of the morale of the two teams on the field, it seemed that Millwall was going crazy.
Yes, in the first half of the game, Wenger had some strange moves that caused trouble for Aldridge. However, during the game, Wenger made on-the-spot adjustments based on the game situation, and Wenger no longer had any magical performances. He is now afraid of Aldridge.
Here comes another unexpected killing move, and the cards in his hand really have no backup options.
Aldrich is not always willing to risk his life.
Even if you risk your life, you have to consider whether it's worth it.
The specific situation must also be analyzed.
As Millwall enters the second half of the game this season, the physical condition of the full-backs becomes worse. This is not a matter of strengthening the players' physical fitness, but a matter of controlling the rhythm of the team and making more rational use of physical fitness.
In addition, the defense in the midfield and backfield today is weak. If Arsenal really takes the risk of pressing forward, even if Arsenal counterattacks with two or three people, they may kill Millwall in the end.
And is it worth the risk?
At the end of the league half-way, if we win this game, the gap with Arsenal will be reduced to 2 points. If we draw, it will still be 5 points. If we lose, it will be 8 points!
2 points, 5 points, 8 points, the difference is very obvious.
Especially considering that the match against Arsenal in the second half of the league is at Arsenal's home court. If they are 8 points behind Arsenal, it is almost certain that the gap between the two sides has expanded to 3 games!
With Arsenal's momentum this season, it is almost impossible to close the 8-point gap in the second half.
Aldridge wants to win, but he can also accept a draw. It is indeed Arsenal who succeeded in taking the first strike today, and there is nothing to blame.
Millwall did not risk their lives, Arsenal also tried their best to maintain the tie, and the Christmas Day battle was finally settled with a 2:2 result.
"Arsenal locked in the half-time championship in the last round. Today, they escaped from the Lion King Stadium and successfully defended the 5-point gap with Millwall. They completed the first half of the league with 13 wins, 6 draws and 45 points. Cheng, while Millwall ranks second in the standings with 40 points with a record of 11 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss. It is believed that the suspense of the championship this season will remain until the end of the season. It is expected that the variable that will have the greatest impact on the Premier League title race will be It will be the performance of the two teams in the European war! With multi-line combat, let’s see who can make the team’s record more stable!”
Aldridge shook hands with Wenger after the game, and the two said to each other: Happy New Year. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
