Aldridge raised an issue in today's training that was of great interest to all the players.
How to profit from the rules?
Aldrich walked up to Henry and said: "We need to make the best use of the rules, that is, to remind the referee and tell the referee: Although I am in an offside position, I did not participate in this attack! I was passive offside, yours
Flag, don’t raise it!”
Henry touched his bald head, still a little confused, and spread his hands and said, "What's the use of this?"
"Ha, what's the use? Come on, I'll tell you what's the use."
Aldrich began to point out his troops on the training ground.
The regular back four were called out, asked to shorten the distance on the training field and take up defensive positions, and then three more players were called out.
Ronaldinho, Henry, Larsson.
Aldridge asked Ronaldinho to dribble in front of the back line, and then Henry ran and was directly offside!
None of the four defenders understood what was going on.
While they were keeping an eye on Ronaldinho and being wary of his playing time, they were also keeping an eye on Henry and Larsson.
When Henry was offside, Ronaldinho's pass was indeed passed to the deep space on the right side of the defense where Henry was running towards.
The defenders confirmed that Henry was offside, relaxed and raised their hands, and were about to remind Aldridge that the ball was over.
However, they opened their eyes and saw Henry running to the left in disbelief.
Henry is in an offside position. The running direction is opposite to the direction of the ball rolling, and the distance is gradually widening. It is impossible for him to catch the ball!
And at this moment, Larson, who was lying in wait and rushing forward, received the ball in front of the baseline. The position where he got the ball opened up a deep space. At this time, he got the ball and Henry, who ran to the other side, was not offside.
!
Larson passed the ball across to Henry, who stopped the ball at his feet.
He touched his bald head again and somewhat understood what Aldrich meant by using the rules and reminding the referee!
A simple training tactical exercise that amazed the entire team.
Aldrich told them in the simplest way how to take advantage of this rule change.
The key point is that the offside player himself confuses the opponent and disrupts the opponent's marking plan. He also needs to remind the referee that he is not "involved" in this attack.
There is no clear standard for not touching the ball and not being offside. Therefore, instead of standing still and making yourself a conspicuous target on the rolling path of the ball, the offside player must first distinguish himself from the connection between the pass and the run.
If you run away and get farther and farther away from the ball, the linesman will hesitate when he sees it, which will reduce his determination to penalize this player for being "involved" in this offense.
Secondly, the appearance of the back-up player also reminds the linesman that the pass-and-run coordination of this offense is actually two other players and is not offside!
In the process, it will completely disrupt the opponent's defensive layout.
If you want to take advantage of the rules to make profits, and it is not a simple and crude way, you must have much higher requirements for players' abilities.
In the past, offense consisted of passing and running, which could be said to be the interaction between two players.
One passes and the other runs.
Now, one more person needs to be added.
Not every pass-and-run combination can be successful. For Millwall, there are many players with excellent running awareness. Therefore, in their offense, most of the players run first and pass the ball slowly, or do not pass it at all.
, it is rare to see a passing team member discover the space and pass it over, but the forward has no awareness of movement. This is determined by the highly permeable characteristics of the team's tactical system. The forward's first task is to capture the space and use it.
Aldridge's so-called utilization is to take advantage of the situation where more forwards ran first and teammates passed later.
In the case of running first, most of the time the forward is already offside, and the passer either realizes that the forward is offside and passing the ball is in vain, or the passer actually passes the ball to the forward and is called offside.
Now, even if the forward is offside, it doesn't matter!
But the forward must have a clear mind. Offside is offside, but he can provide a cover for his teammates. Even if the passer passes the ball, he will run away immediately. In other words, he must participate in the next foreseeable attack and leave this attack to others.
Teammates who joined behind.
Encouraging offense to make the game smoother is nothing more than that the game is not always interrupted by the referee. As long as the linesman does not raise the flag, everything will continue.
It can be said that this kind of passing and running has become a cooperation between at least three players.
The passer, inserting behind the receiver to hide the player in the offside position.
What about other teams, Aldridge doesn't know.
But in Millwall, making good use of this rule will be of great help to their offense.
Because they now focus on the wing!
Double forward, double forward.
There will be more hiding points for inside cuts to hit the receiving points.
Of course, the game reading ability of this pair of passers is also very high.
First, realize that the first pass target is offside.
Second, use the offside teammate as a cover to penetrate and pass the ball to the teammate who is hiding behind the ball.
Alonso, Ronaldinho, and Nedved are the passers in the team who need to improve their awareness in this regard.
After all the Millwall players understood Aldridge's idea, Ronaldinho suddenly sighed: "Boss, why are you so cunning?"
Ha ha ha ha
The whole team laughed loudly.
Aldrich was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
...
Halfway through the season, after Millwall's phased results were revealed, the team became more stable and stronger than at the beginning of the season. Alonso also began to flourish in the role of midfield organizer. Millwall, a combination of new and old,
Three generations of mad lions gradually opened their bloody mouths, their sharp fangs intent on devouring Europa again.
Since the start of the second half of the league, the Premier League championship pattern has become increasingly clear.
"The champion will return from Manchester to London again!"
In February, The Times ran such a headline.
There is no doubt that the champion will be between Arsenal and Millwall.
The strength and stability shown by the two teams this season are surprisingly similar.
At the end of February, although Millwall's FA Cup training ended in failure, and the young players did not surprise Aldridge in the cup, in the league, Millwall and Arsenal went hand in hand, but neither lost.
The two teams either win or draw, and the gap has always been swinging between 3 points, 4 points and 5 points.
On February 21, the 26th round of the Premier League ended. After 7 rounds, Millwall only shortened the gap to Arsenal by 2 points.
In these 7 league rounds, Millwall has one more win than Arsenal, and Arsenal has one more draw. It is still 3 points ahead of Millwall!
But the two teams opened up a double-digit gap between the teams behind them.
Chelsea's performance in the first half was average, as the "Daily Telegraph" bitterly mocked: When Eriksen figured out what kind of league style the Premier League was and adapted to the English atmosphere, three months passed.
.
In addition to the impact of Ferdinand's suspension, Manchester United also has their offensive firepower, which has declined significantly in the past two seasons.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was indeed the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot award last season, but Manchester United's offensive firepower last season was the lowest in the past few seasons, and it has further declined this season. Ruud van Nistelrooy alone cannot support a giant team at all.
The offensive firepower required. The decisive factor for Manchester United's championship last season may be defense. They conceded fewer goals than other competitors. But this season, especially in the second half, without Ferdinand, it is almost foreseeable that this will be
It must be a disappointing season for Manchester United.
At the end of February, Aldrich led the team to Munich.
In the mouths of many fans, Millwall and Bayern Munich have already formed a bloody feud!
This season, Millwall was once again drawn against Bayern Munich in the 1/8 finals. This was beyond everyone's expectations. But ultimately, it is also the fault of Bayern Munich for their failure in the group stage. If they can get the top spot in the group,
Naturally, Millwall will not be drawn.
Hitzfield has been much more low-key this season.
Last season, he boasted that Bayern Munich was the strongest Bayern Munich in history, but ended up going home like Millwall in the Champions League group stage.
Millwall's senior management still has a good relationship with Bayern Munich, but they always meet in the arena.
To a certain extent, it also shows that the strength of the two teams is among the top in European football. Otherwise, how often can a strong team and a weak team meet in the Champions League knockout rounds with high frequency?
This season the Champions League has undergone another reform, canceling the second stage of the group stage. The 16 teams that qualified in the group stage will directly compete against each other.
When it comes to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, Aldridge will definitely not continue to attack wildly. In the first round of the away game, caution is the best, and if you don't lose, you will win.
Having played against Hitzfield for many years, Aldridge is very familiar with him. Bayern Munich is still a German tank that plays on team integrity, and Millwall is no less generous in this regard.
In the focus of the Champions League in Munich, the game reached the 70th minute, and the score was still 0:0.
Millwall defends cautiously and does not over-invest in offense, and Bayern Munich does not dare to attack wildly. This delicate stalemate and balance has been maintained until now.
Aldrich was patient, but Heathfield couldn't sit still.
Although Millwall trails Arsenal in the Premier League, Millwall's goals are more than 10 goals ahead of Arsenal.
Why?
As long as they score the first goal in the game, their extremely defensive opponents will have to attack if they want to equalize the score. Intensive defense no longer exists, and Millwall's wing storm can often lead to bloody big scores.
Among them, they slaughtered Wolves 9:0, bloodbathed Leicester City 7:0, and defeated Blackburn 6:0, which are all their brilliant results in the past two months.
If you don't win against Millwall at home, and go to the away game, can you steal one and then hold on?
Heathfield was not optimistic about the prospects. Just when he was about to give it a try, Aldridge was replaced.
Lahm, who left Bayern Munich last summer, replaced Baines. Ashley Cole has been injured recently and will not return in two weeks.
The limitations of Baynes playing as a left back, or his habits in offense, are definitely based on his habitual left foot, so his support effect is better, but when he changes forward and cuts inside, he seems a bit weak. Ash
Leigh Cole is more impactful, more experienced and more mature, while Lahm has an inherent advantage. He is a right-footed player. In other words, he can play a lot when cutting inside the front waistline and using his right foot.
A good threat.
More than half a season has passed. Compared with Lahm's growth after leaving Bayern Munich, at least in terms of special skills, Millwall has been more targeted in cultivating him.
Meulensteen initially developed a training plan for Lahm based on the winger's offensive ability.
Today, Ram was replaced. From the outside, Aldridge was just a "young player for young player" substitution.
Actually it's not, it's just a partial change to the offensive method.
After Lahm came on the field, he quickly shocked Bayern Munich!
This kid scored in the 76th minute!
It was on the left side in front of the penalty area. Ronaldinho controlled the ball and attracted the defensive players. After getting the ball from the side, Rams unexpectedly crossed the middle and completed a curved shot at the edge of the penalty area. The ball bypassed the back line and went straight.
It flew into the far corner of the goal, leaving all the fans stunned.
After scoring the goal, Ram showed no emotion and stretched out his hand to signal his teammates not to come to celebrate with him.
The teammates also walked slowly towards the backcourt with understanding.
The three giants of Bayern Munich who were watching the game in the stands looked a little ugly.
Now look at Lahm, he doesn't look like a full-back!
In other words, an outstanding full-back!
This is unbelievable to Bayern executives who were hesitant about renewing Lahm's contract more than half a season ago.
They began to recall the original transaction.
Was Aldrich targeting Rahm from the beginning?
Millwall need full-backs.
Bayern Munich will not let go of the more impressive Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Among the three conditions, only Ram seems to be too expensive as a bargaining chip and is worth letting go.
Bayern Munich's big three will never have an answer unless they ask Aldridge.
In this season's Champions League trip, Bayern Munich seems to be falling at the feet of Millwall again. (To be continued)
