The Young Lion

Benitez focused on reshaping Liverpool's inner spiritual temperament, which made Liverpool "emotional" during this period, lacking thickness and reason.

The Red Army is like a wounded beast, full of anti-counterfeiting passion, eliminating negative effects, at least it makes them look completely different from the past.

But the disadvantage is this, it is easier to make loopholes in the back defense!

Nearly 40 minutes in the first half, Millwall again scored in a way that caught Benitez and Liverpool by surprise.

Ram dribbled from the backcourt to the middle when he was about to pass halftime. After attracting the opponent, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally to the right. Ronaldo strode the ball to the middle after striking the ball. Millwall The injury of Liverpool's overall defensive formation with these two swords diagonally shocked Liverpool's army!

What kind of play is this?

Have you given up on the sidewalk?

Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball to Ronaldinho after attracting at least three opponents. The latter decisively made a forefront attack and handed the ball to Villa. Villa backed the heel in the penalty area and the defender line Liverpool, whose predecessor turned back, lost Nedved.

The blonde God of War laughed at the big gift from Nabilia, hit the ball with a heavy shot and sent the ball into Liverpool's goal!

"Nedved helped Millwall expand his lead! Andy, do you think the scene is very chaotic?"

"Yeah, it's chaotic! But look closely, it's Liverpool, Millwall knows what they are doing! When Ram dribbles diagonally to the centre, Alonso's position caused Liverpool's defensive chaos, C When Ronaldo also took the ball diagonally from the right to the middle, Carrick and Sissoko missed each other. They didn't know who to mark. Ronaldinho hadn't touched the ball yet. Gerrard, Finnan, Cissot Ke, Carrick, these four points are rushing in the direction of Ronaldinho. As a result, Ronaldinho made a goal, and Villa pulled out a deep space in the forefront of the front line. Let the Liverpool defender line and the midfield completely open the space, do it properly, send the ball to the foot of Nedved, Nedved scores! Millwall's offensive players have played a role, but Liverpool's defense has It's a mess!"

Nedved is enjoying the cheers of the fans, this is the most wonderful moment he enjoys football today.

Benitez was stunned on the sidelines.

He confirmed.

Millwall ushered in an "enhanced upgrade" after simplification of tactics!

Aldridge smiled with his arms around his chest.

How to play football?

As long as you follow the rules, kick as you want!

Jump out of the tactical framework, in fact football is free!

As Aldridge suggested in the past training courses for Millwall’s internal coaches: we can analyze the classic technical and tactical formation and learn the essence, but don’t be limited to our thinking and fall into stereotypes. In your thinking mode, if you think carefully that the last four strikers can greatly increase your probability of winning, why not? What is crazy in the eyes of others does not necessarily mean that you are going crazy.

Use a simple example to describe the core of Aldridge's tactical fine-tuning.

There are many teams on the football field that will pass the ball back from the center to the backcourt. Why should they pass back?

There are different reasons for different situations.

Maybe it is because there is no outgoing spot in front and you need to control the scene. Then returning the ball can ensure that the ball is at the foot, reshape the offensive situation and wait for a better chance to appear.

Perhaps it was found that the opponent was very frizzy, returning the ball, maybe it could attract the opponent to take the initiative to force out, revealing the empty space behind him, and then from the midfield and backcourt, a straight pass, maybe the comparison of the number of offense and defense and the size of the space, this is the return Subtle changes have taken place after Chuan He's forward pass.

The problem is coming?

You can pass the ball back, why not bring it back?

This is very rare, or can't you see it at all?

Few players will run the ball back over a long distance, over 30 yards!

But can this be done?

why not? of course can!

Imagine that Ronaldinho controlled the ball on the sidelines of the frontcourt, there was no breakthrough space in front, the passing point was blocked, he turned the ball and ran to the backcourt, what effect would it produce?

Most opponents will be dumbfounded?

What is he going to do?

Can't guess!

Yes, at this moment, the opponent's thinking will turn unexpectedly!

Because Ronaldinho's behavior violated the rules!

As for why no one on the court takes the ball back for a long distance, there can be a wide range of back passes. There is only one reason. Passing is more efficient than passing the ball!

It is conceivable that if Ronaldinho took the ball back to run, how much physical energy would it take, and how much would it cost to run again? There is also the time required to dribble the ball, which, despite creating an impact on the opponent's mind, also gives the opponent enough buffer and time to adjust.

Therefore, it is absolutely mainstream to advance on the football field, and one of the purposes is also to give the opponent no reaction time as much as possible.

Force the opponent to follow the first response to make a decision. Once this decision is wrong, it will become a breakthrough for the attacker.

Millwall's footing to make reasonable tactical changes based on the ability of players on the field during this period is: ball control and dribbling ability!

Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, these are players who have a single line to explode opponents' defense line!

But going straight, the side road is on the side road, and the middle road goes all the way to black. This is too easy to be predicted, that is, the regular kick!

The only difference is that Ronaldinho's breakthrough ability is stronger than Larson and more efficient than Glennshire. However, in the overall situation, it will not cause too many impacts on opponents. It is nothing more than how many people are used to fill it. That's it.

But now, Aldridge's tactical change is based on the player's impact on the opponent's defense system!

In the European battlefield based on tactics, the meaning of formation represents more responsibility in the defensive area. Offensive players can run disorderly, forwards can go to the midfield, left can go to the middle, go to the right, midfield Can strike forward, but what about defense? The tightness of the defense is that if the full-back is not on the side, and the central defender rushes forward or is too far away from his partner, then this defensive system will lose its tightness and will be blown away by the opponent's pass.

It is also based on this point that Millwall's offense is based on the idea of ​​breaking the opponent's habitual counterpoint marking and regional defense.

When Ronaldinho leaves the left-wing position, what should the opponent's full-back do?

When Ronaldinho brought the ball to the middle, but Nedved did not change positions with him, what would be the pressure on the opponent's defense?

Especially when the opponent can't steal the ball under Ronaldinho's feet and see Ronaldinho passing through his own defense zone, but he is not going directly to the restricted zone, what should he do?

This series of unconventional shock effects are forcing opponents to make choices in a very short time!

Especially when Millwall is not dominated by one person alone, the opponent's defensive system will be shattered by Millwall's ball-driving player's seemingly unconventional dribbling trajectory!

First of all, they will be in chaos.

In fact, this is also a kind of progress and sublimation of modern winger flow.

When Ronaldinho's dribbling shot in the wing made it difficult for the opponent to prevent, and Robben cut in the right to make the opponent unable to keep up with the rhythm, this is itself an unconventional dribbling trajectory and offensive routine compared to before. Now, Millwall is applying this kind of routine that appears on the front line of the offensive end to the back, and it is a tactical operation that is planned to be implemented by the team in tacit agreement, rather than a single individual performance!

Benitez confirmed Millwall's changes and roughly understood what Millwall was playing.

But he has nothing to do, he can’t help it!

Millwall doesn't have to chew on the old book, keep pace with the times, and continue to insist on the internal transformation of advancing strengths and avoiding shortcomings. Aldridge's style of controlling the team is the same as before, that is, to maximize the characteristics of the players!

What they are best at, then take this to the extreme.

This is also the key direction of Millwall's fine-tuning without changing the frame in the post-Pirlo era.

When there are more talented players, it is necessary to exert their best ability, but in the end it is necessary to give them a shackle to avoid "out of control".

Liverpool fell behind by two goals before the end of the first half. Although the players were somewhat hit, they all calmed down. They planned to wait and wait until the second half. At least when the midfield is adjusted, I hope Benitez can play the coach's schedule. Adjust their abilities and help them find ways to restrain Millwall.

Benitez doesn't have many good ways. Millwall will use brute force to crush you blatantly, bullying people without blushing, and he will not pretend to be a gentleman.

At the beginning of the second half, Aldridge watched the game for 5 minutes on the sidelines and laughed angrily.

Benitez **** bus!

This is the simplest and lasting solution!

When you don’t know how to limit your opponent’s offense, simply use more players to fill the space in the penalty area. The weak team can use this trick, the strong team can also use it!

However, after putting the bus, the physical energy consumption for Liverpool will be more serious, because they retract, meaning that the distance from Millwall's goal is also farther, and the attack will come back again. This round-trip running distance has been expanded a lot.

Liverpool resisted stubbornly for 20 minutes, then a fatal counterattack quickly broke out, and Benitez also worked hard in the counterattack.

Using Irving as a decoy to pull to the side, attracting Millwall's central defender to leave the zone a little, and then use the other winger inward as a hidden attack point.

This counterattack was very beautiful, decisive, fierce and fatal in one blow!

Owen took the ball to the right of the frontcourt, and the attack advanced to the front of the penalty area and passed to Gerrard. At this time, García Necée became the first attack point, which restrained Silva and affected Nesta's judgment. .

Gerrard passed the ball to Kewell, who also followed in the back row. Kewell slanted into the penalty area and opened Nesta. After a volley, the ball was sent into the upper left corner of the goal. Liverpool was in difficulty. Pull back one in the counterattack!

This is a golden goal, although it did not make Liverpool tie the score, but it has a crucial impact on the morale and confidence of the Red Team!
