The Young Lion

1:0 seems to be a weak advantage, but in the case of a two-round knockout game between home and guest, when the home team can win the opponent at 1:0, the significance of 1:0 is not trivial.

First of all, the opponent didn't get a guest goal, so in the second round, Millwall can play anti-reverse. As long as he can score an opponent's goal on the road, Juventus will score 3 at home!

This is where Aldridge hesitated.

He is satisfied with the score of 1:0, but there are still 45 minutes in the game. Is it necessary to fight back from the beginning in the second half?

Benitez and Jenson each expressed their opinions.

They all think that the 45-minute variable is too big. If Juventus gets back from the beginning of the second half to play a counter-attack, in case Juventus scores an away goal and Millwall wants to attack again, I am afraid he will be powerless.

Aldrich thought it over and thought they both made sense.

Just like Chelsea in the League Cup, Chelsea attacked as soon as it started, and when the score fell behind when the second half began to shrink, they wanted to attack again, but they couldn't speed up.

The players entered a state of excitement in the first half, suddenly dropped from a high rate, all aspects of the body "cooled", it is not easy to mobilize again in a short time, once the opponent equalized the score, psychological pressure With anxiety, it is highly likely that the team will collapse.

When Aldridge walked into the locker room, the team doctor was reprocessing Nedved's wounds. Aldridge asked a few words, and after getting reassuring results, he began to inspire the team and also made some tactics. change.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Millwall team still maintained a high-frequency and fast-paced play. Every player is in good shape today. The pass is accurate, the ball is delivered quickly, and the idea of ​​passing and cutting is clear.

After adjusting to the first half of the game, Juventus also started to exert force in the second half, but their force is obviously controlled, and they exert force little by little.

Judging from their running position and player participation in the offense, Zidane's shots are no longer forward, but more lateral pulls after the side, allowing other teammates who come up with assists to respond.

The game is gradually getting hotter. Both sides have arranged a strict defensive line from the midfield. Compared with the mad rush of many teams without individual levels, the defensive tactics of the two teams have shown the top level. The Serie A team is already good at chain defense. Mill Under Aldridge's training, Wall never emphasized one-on-one rushing. Each defensive point is connected with the defensive line as a whole, and will not give the opponent a chance to break one by one.

Both sides failed to create a better opportunity in the sports battle, and both teams began to frequently use positioning **** to create kills.

Juventus' two consecutive corner offenses were within a minute of the goal, which caused the fans in the stands to panic and exclaim.

Southgate yelled at his teammates to make everyone pay more attention. They suffered a bit from defensive positioning. That is the defensive height. This requires their more accurate predictions and more appropriate positions to contain their opponents.

When the game came to the 70th minute, Aldridge paced back and forth on the sidelines, hitting this time node, Millwall's physical energy consumption has begun to panic.

Judging only from the perspective of observation, Aldridge knew that the players ran out of the usual 90-minute distance of the game in 70 minutes today. It is estimated that the average running distance has exceeded 10,000 meters.

And Juventus closed in the first half and gradually pushed in the second half. In contrast, the gap between the two sides began to decline from Millwall's dominance, and has now become balanced. If it continues to develop, it may be Juventus. Fully dominated.

Experienced Lippi estimated that he planned this from the beginning, and he defended and then attacked as a whole. This is understandable. If not, Millwall played a wave of surprise attacks in the opening stage of the first half. Maybe Millwall will be due to Unable to score and involuntarily overwhelm, giving Juventus more offensive opportunities.

It's time to collect them.

1:0!

This is an acceptable result!

As Aldridge was about to replace Trezeguet with Barak, the situation on the field was abrupt.

Millwall hit a wave of offense.

Trezeguet and Larson swapped positions. Trezeguet, who was pulling on the left side outside the penalty area, rarely passed the ball to the right rib.

Shevchenko inserted a non-stop ball at high speed, carrying Pesoto was a long shot!

The ball flew towards the Juventus gate like a heavy artillery, Peruzi flew, and blocked the ball with one hand, but the speed of the ball was too fast, and he could not control the trajectory of the saved ball. I saw the ball bounced towards the small penalty area line nearby.

Ferrara and Montero wanted to make a clearance when they reacted, but Larson jumped a header between them and pushed the ball towards the other side of the goal!

Peruzzi was unable to return to the sky and looked at the ball!

Ferrara and other Juventus will immediately raise their hands to signal Larson to make an offside shot, but the flag in the hands of the referee has been in a state of sag.

"Larsen's supplementary shot scored the goal! Millwall led Juventus 2-0! This is a golden goal. If Juventus can be scored with two goals at home, Millwall's promotion hopes It’s going to be very big, very big! Does anyone question Larson’s lack of aggressiveness? He countered all doubts in the key game with a goal. He is the most important point that Millwall can’t ignore. This attack It's a match between Millwall's front trident! Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Larson, they work together to help the team expand the score!"

Wembley's stand was boiling, and fans of the Lions happily jumped on the stand, leading by two goals, the probability of promotion increased greatly!

Aldridge also thrilled excitedly on the sidelines to celebrate, and then quickly turned back to let Barak complete the substitutions, and at the same time let Gattuso also warm up. At this time, do not hesitate, you can be determined to hold the score of 2:0!

Under such a score, Millwall was a guest in Turin in the second round. As long as he scored a goal from Juventus on the road, his opponent would score 4!

Barak went up and Treze covered.

Three minutes later, Gattuso went up and Shevchenko went down.

Millwall changes to 4411.

Lippi looked solemnly to the sidelines and made adjustments, but they were tactical rather than personnel adjustments.

He knew that the gap between the two goals was a very dangerous situation. According to Millwall's performance in the three away games in the group stage, Juventus may not score at least three goals for his opponent even if he returns to the home court.

According to Millwall's formation adjustment, Juventus saw a move, two defenders boldly stepped forward to assist, plus three midfielders also advanced in a level way, Juventus countered the main goal in the last ten minutes to counter Jedi counterattack!

By this time, although the Millwall players were still able to run, they had begun to lag behind Juventus in speed. They spared no effort in the first 80 minutes of running, making the final 10 minutes into a passive in this regard.

Aldridge kept pressing his hands to keep the players steady, taking more rest and adjusting the breathing rhythm, even delaying the time.

However, Juventus did not give them a chance. At this time, they had better physical fitness. They almost adopted the basketball tactics of full-field pressing strategies and forced crazy to grab.

Zidane made a long shot, Inzaghi grabbed the spot, Davis made a long shot after the breakthrough, Conte sent a good pass, Piero swayed the ball and flew the ball, Torricelli made a high pass, and then inserted Conte Header...

Juventus's offensive wave was higher than the wave, hitting Millwall before the storm, but fortunately did not give the opponent a perfect chance to break the goal, otherwise Bout might not be able to withstand.

Even if Millwall wants to use his down feet to consume time, he can't bear the few capable players who can fight and grab in the opponent's midfield.

Deschamps snatched the ball from Pirlo's foot and then passed the ball. Piero shot a long shot outside the penalty area. Southgate blocked the ball and blocked the ball with his body.

The game time has come to the injury stoppage time, Juventus army pressured, Millwall retreat.

Juventus kicked the corner and the ball reached Pesoto’s feet. Schneider defended him head-on. Pesoto unexpectedly didn’t pass but took an in-line shot and chose a long shot at a 45-degree angle outside the penalty area. !

No one thought that he would be in this position, so choose a long shot at such a long distance.

And the ball is a half-height ball, almost flew towards the goal almost against the turf.

The penalty area was overcrowded. This ball hit Maklele's calf during the rolling, and then turned to the front of the penalty area. The speed is still very fast. I don't know who touched it on the line of the small penalty area. The ball is slow. Rolled into the goal.

Bout, who was deceived by the refraction twice, could not save it!

"The goal was scored! Juventus pulled back a goal in stoppage time. This goal will allow Lippi to leave London with satisfaction. 2:1, Millwall was scored by an opponent to score an away goal. This result made them The gold content of the second goal dropped slightly, and it can even be said that the score of 2:1 is far better than 1:0! Who actually scored this goal? In the slow-motion goal replay, we saw Pesso Tolle's shot was blocked by Makelele, and then Bout had lost his center of gravity. He went to the corner of the goal. If Makelele did not block, he was sure to save the ball, but Makelele stretched out. The ball was refracted by the foot, and Elgra defending in the small penalty line was caught off guard. He hurriedly made a leg but the kick was flawed. The ball slipped over his foot and rolled into his own door! After the ball was dropped, Egypt Elgra fell to the ground and looked very guilty!"

When the Juventus generals frantically celebrated the goal, Lippi smiled on the coach's bench, and then chatted with the coaching staff to celebrate.

Aldridge's expressions are similar to those of the fans in the stands, and his expressions are slightly pale.

Feelings fall from heaven to hell!

Yes, 2:1, far worse than 1:0.

The most intuitive interpretation is: the score of 2:1, Juventus can be promoted by returning to home as long as 1:0, and if it is 1:0, even if Juventus play 1:0 at home, the two teams will play plus Time.

Southgate pulled Elgra in one hand, did not know what was said in his ear, and then gently pushed his head to make Elgra quickly cheer up.

The injury stoppage time has come, Millwall restarted the ball and quickly played a wave of offense, and finally Pirlo missed a long shot to make the game to the end.

The fans in the stands also cheered up, and they were still optimistic anyway.

At the very least, he won the second round with a leading score, not a draw or a total score behind.

The two teams did not play a match-breaking match like the Barcelona group stage today. The first ten minutes and the last ten minutes of the game were the two teams dominating, and the middle 70 minutes was a tug of war. But there are still many exciting scenes between offense and defense.

Aldridge went to shake hands with Lippi without saying much, and then turned to comfort the disciples who were feeling a bit lost.

The last goal was judged as an own goal. Audric first came to Elgra and hugged the opponent for a long time, constantly encouraging him in his ear and letting him forget the own goal.

"Don’t blame yourself, look forward so that you can continue on the path of a world-class center defender. I have confidence in you. No one will blame you. On the contrary, today you are doing very well and successfully restricted Piero. , I am very satisfied with you!"

Elgra escaped the psychological shadow in Aldridge's comfort.

Aldrich knew he had to help Elgra in the first place, otherwise, the seed of self-blame would take root in his heart.

At the end of the game, Millwall players and Juventus players exchanged jerseys, and then they came to the sidelines to thank the fans for their support.
