"Hahaha, Monaco must have just woken up and warmed up. When I opened my eyes, I saw that they were two goals behind! Millwall rewritten the score to 2:0 through two blitzes after the opening. Once, a positional battle suddenly broke out.
, one time is a counterattack. ~ In the Premier League, Arsenal fans always preach about how their team plays gorgeously, and the fans of the Mad Lions will disdainfully fight back: You are only powerful in counterattacks, but it is better than counterattacks, Mad Lions fans.
The lion is far superior to you
!This is not an empty talk or an angry rebuttal. Millwall fans have the confidence to say this, because they started by counterattacking. In order not to give them space to counterattack, their opponents frequently use intensive defense, but Monaco
There is no such awareness. Look at the speed of Ronaldo dribbling the ball from the wing and the speed of Henry sprinting. The picture of Monaco's frontcourt players returning to defense shows everything: they are getting further and further away from the ball!"
Deschamps was a little confused.
According to Millwall's counterattack threat, they don't even need large numbers of troops to suppress the situation. They can just rely on the trident to take care of everything. If there is another Ronaldinho, how can they defend against this?
Each of the four frontcourt players has the ability to overwhelm opponents with speed in one-on-one situations, especially Ronaldinho and Henry, who pose the greatest threat. If you give them enough space, you can't guard even one of them!
Deschamps came to his senses and immediately asked the team to shrink back.
Aldridge calmly made another gesture on the sidelines: Millwall will defend firmly and control the rhythm.
Next, Millwall's formation looks relatively balanced. However, the midfielder's passing coordination is tacit. He firmly controls the ball and uses passing coordination to consume the physical energy of the opponent's frontline harassing players.
Maybe the outside world doesn't understand the significance of Millwall's actions.
But the effect is very intuitive in the eyes of the Millwall coaching staff.
For example, if Morientes, as a forward, drops back into the midfield, and Alonso controls the ball in front of him, will Morientes go and grab it?
He has to engage in more or less defensive harassment.
The same applies to Roten and Jiuli.
So they started running and sprinting in a small area and short distances, trying to steal the ball and directly hit Millwall's counterattack.
But the tacit cooperation between Millwall's midfield and backcourt allowed them to make no mistakes in passing the ball.
To put more pressure on Millwall, the players in Monaco's midfield line must come up to put pressure.
In this way, as long as the midfield line is slightly loosened, Millwall's offense will advance forward, and the frontcourt will have more space to play, and the success rate of threatening attacks will be further improved!
At the same time, even if this wave of attacks fails, it doesn't matter. Monaco wants to counterattack. However, the Trident doing harassment work in the frontcourt may have slowed down in a short period of time, or may not be in a good position due to harassment. Millwall's defense
When they are playing, it is easier to isolate them, that is, to cut off the opponent's offensive formation, causing them to lose contact with their teammates.
After 2:0, 20 minutes passed. Millwall passed the ball quickly to consume the opponent's energy and limited Monaco's offense through team defense.
Roten and Giuly failed once when they moved inside. The defensive midfielder combination of Alonso and De Rossi has a very wide coverage, especially filling the space in the back line and specifically restraining the opponent's winger from turning inside forward.
As for the winger who made the pass, Morientes was the only one in the middle, and it was difficult for him to do anything when Nesta and Southgate double-teamed him.
Alonso began to control the rhythm of the game, and the metronome role came into play. When the game reached the 30th minute, after Monaco became familiar with Millwall's tepid back-and-forth routine, they could not help but attack.
They counterattacked twice in a row, and the team's overall running and fighting became more and more wild. Alonso saw that the opponent was showing signs of raising his head, so he quickly launched a wave of fast breaks.
He suddenly no longer passed the ball horizontally to the wide players, but directly passed the ball diagonally deep into the wide area. Larsson, who has become an old man, ran out of the space. This long-distance diagonal pass and dangerous pass are to speed up.
Signal.
How could Larson not know?
Ronaldinho approached his side, but Alonso passed the ball behind Ronaldinho, catching the Monaco defender off guard.
Behind Ronaldinho, Alonso boldly rushed forward and stopped the ball. After distracting Monaco's midfielder, he handed the ball to Ronaldinho who was running forward. Ronaldinho then played a one-two with Henry.
, he continued to rush into the penalty area, Henry's pass, Ronaldinho's movement, the tacit understanding of passing and running was jaw-dropping.
It’s a one-shot!
Roma abandoned the goal. Ronaldinho was heading towards the goal, but when Roma rushed over, he pushed the ball towards the baseline, changed direction and passed the goalkeeper. The angle of the shot was almost zero. Ronaldinho did not show off and kicked the ball.
Crossing the goal line, Ronaldo, who quickly arrived from the other side, sent the ball into the goal.
Lions fans in the stands at Lion King Stadium stood up, applauded and cheered wildly.
"Millwall passed the ball into Monaco's goal! Alonso, Larsson, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo, Millwall's goal is the pinnacle of teamwork.
! It couldn’t be more wonderful! Ronaldo scored twice! It’s really unexpected that Monaco, which eliminated Real Madrid, had no power to fight back in front of Millwall!”
Deshang's eyes were filled with tears. While he felt incredible, he was already terrified!
In front of the Millwall coaching bench, Aldridge raised his chin with a gentle expression.
At this moment, not only the entire European football world is re-evaluating Millwall, but also the young coach!
At the beginning of Aldridge's first full season after returning to coach Millwall, people no longer looked at Aldridge in a different light, and even felt that Aldridge had regressed a bit.
Why?
Because Millwall is not the top team in the Premier League.
Because Millwall lost in the first half of the league.
Because Millwall has exposed problems in many drawn games.
because......
There are countless reasons to belittle Aldridge and knock him off his pedestal.
Aldridge has never argued a word. He will only do one thing in front of the media: things that are beneficial to the team.
On the contrary, the more the outside world belittles Aldridge, the more they regard him as an ordinary person. That is better and is beneficial to the team. Why should Aldridge refute? Why should he prove something? Why should he participate in this boring war of words?
?
If all opponents treat him as an ordinary person, what's wrong with that?
Moreover, the problems exposed by Millwall are reality!
If the team has no problems and is perfect, why did Klinsmann sack him?
Why would Aldrich bother to build the third generation of Mad Lion?
The capture of information from the outside world always lags behind that of the parties involved.
After defeating Bayern Munich in two rounds, Millwall has transitioned from building to a new stage: striving for excellence!
Now they are operating well in all aspects and are not far from the final results that Aldrich expected. Their strength can still be improved, but there will not be much fluctuation. Another very important improvement depends on the record and the championship!
Players such as Alonso, De Rossi, Lahm and Cristiano Ronaldo must be allowed to taste the taste of championship and let them win the championship trophy. Let them wear championship medals. The excitement and sublimation of temperament brought by this reward is a
A hundred years of training and a hundred years of ordinary competition cannot bring about this.
And in contrast, there is only one league championship in a season, and there is only one Champions League championship in a year.
If you don't win the championship, it belongs to someone else.
The champion will be happy. Outside of the championship, there is only loss and depression, which represents failure!
Failure is not only the mother of success, but also the cradle of disaster.
The blow to the players creates a disaster factor within the team!
A championship is not only a symbol of success.
It is also a must-have for top wealthy families to maintain stable development!
The first half lasted just over 30 minutes, and Monaco was 3 goals behind.
Deschamps could no longer remain calm.
Monaco must score! Goal! Goal!
In the 42nd minute, when Larsson cut into the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by Evra from behind as soon as he touched the ball, the referee pointed to the penalty spot and blew the whistle.
Deschamps closed his eyes in despair.
Monaco fans who came to the Lion King Stadium to cheer for the away team were heartbroken!
Evra emotionally defended something to the referee, and Larsson also got emotional.
He scolded Evra mercilessly: "What are you protesting? Do you think I'm diving?"
Evra, who ran away from Millwall, did not dare to confront Larsson and left the scene of the incident when his teammates came to calm him down.
Since Larsson's playing time has been reduced this season, the position of the team's first penalty kicker has been given to Henry, but today, Henry gave up the penalty kick to Larsson.
Larsson's penalty kick was scored in one stroke.
"Millwall led Monaco 4-0 in the first half. Monaco was obviously not fully prepared for this game. It is no exaggeration to say that they thought they met the second Real Madrid. In fact, they were not. They met a better Real Madrid.
Madrid's strength is more convincing than Millwall's! At Santiago Bernabeu
Ukraine, they conceded 4 goals in 90 minutes. At the Lion King Stadium, in 45 minutes, only 45 minutes, they were beaten four times and did not even score a goal. Even if the game ended with this score, we have reasons.
The conclusion is that Millwall will reach the semi-finals of this season's Champions League."
Deschamps walked into the tunnel with a bloodless face.
After returning to the locker room, Aldridge wrote lightly to the unsatisfied Lions: "Although I don't want to say this, I have to tell you that I want the championship, the Champions League, and the league, I want them all, so,
We have to be realistic. If the score of 4:0 is maintained until the end of the game, we will advance to the semi-finals. Why? Because even Real Madrid and AC Milan cannot be 4 goals behind.
Next time we go back to home and overturn us! And we have to work hard to catch up with Arsenal in the league. The league is not a knockout round. The league needs us to be more stable and stronger. Therefore, in the second half, we have to counterattack. We have to make the rhythm slower most of the time. Only
When the opponent is crazy, anxious, or collapsed, we will expend physical energy to attack their defense line, and we must make the most reasonable use of body energy. Do you understand?"
All the generals said in unison: "Understood!"
As the team gets better, Aldridge's authority within the team is higher than before, because the efforts made on his behalf to build the team are in the right direction.
The older generation of players have established a tacit understanding of cooperation with him and have great trust in each other. Of course, Southgate said to the media: he is willing to die for the boss. Such remarks do not need to be taken seriously.
Young players, or players who have not worked with Aldridge for a long time, are deeply honored and cherish everything they have now.
Aldrich was right about one thing.
In the entire European football world, no team is really confident that they can come back from a 4-goal deficit within 90 minutes.
Monaco is no exception!
Deschamps saw Millwall focusing on defense in the second half, and he was naturally unwilling to do so.
If it ends with 4:0, the remaining 90 minutes will be meaningless.
However, Monaco was still wary of Millwall's counterattack, and they did not dare to attack wildly, so they could only strengthen the pressing in the midfield.
The score remained unchanged until the 70th minute, when Aldrich replaced Larsson and Ronaldinho with Villa and Kaká.
Deschamps thought the opportunity had come, and ordered the team to attack with all their might.
In the 74th minute, Kaka started from the midfield and performed a 40-yard run past two people before assisting Villa to score!
"This is why Millwall fans dare to say that if they use counterattack as the core of their tactics, they will definitely be more gorgeous than Arsenal, and there will definitely be no opponent that can limit them! They can cooperate as a team, and they also have good players who can travel long distances individually. Monaco
In the end, they could only restrict Henry and defend Ronaldo. However, they could no longer keep an eye on Villa. The two new young players completed a perfect cooperation. 5:0. Monaco's Champions League journey this season only left
It’s garbage time.”
After the goal, Aldrich replaced Schneider with Ramos.
Deschamps gritted his teeth!
Aldrich, you are going too far!
In the Champions League quarter-finals, a boy under 18 years old was used as a substitute. Is it humiliating?
Humiliation or not, Aldrich doesn't care.
He just gave Ramos a birthday present.
Ramos's 18th birthday will be in five days. Aldrich subbing him on today and letting him stand on the stage of the Champions League quarter-finals is a gift.
Ramos is full of fighting spirit and has been coached by Aldrich on the tasks after playing before playing.
Why does Aldrich's on-the-spot command frighten his peers?
Because many times "matchup substitutions" are actually for tactical adjustment purposes.
Players in the same position may play different roles.
For example, a center can be a penetrating type, a pure shooter, or a pillar center.
Full-backs, same thing.
When Monaco was desperate to get an away goal, Ramos, who was new to the game and was not afraid of tigers, truly "humiliated" Monaco after receiving Aldrich's tactical instructions.
He boldly assisted on the right wing, and in a counterattack in the 83rd minute, he entered the penalty area and passed the ball back to assist Kaka who came in from behind to score!
When the game was over, all the Monaco players collapsed to the ground and collapsed!
Aldridge walked steadily towards Deschamps, intending to shake hands with him after the game, but when he saw Deschamps staying there with a blank look on his face, he had no choice but to pat the opponent's arm lightly and turned away.
