The Young Lion

Valencia coach Cooper is a defender, and the bat army created has become a climate. Mestalla has also become a burial ground for many powerful people to change their colors.

His team doesn’t have many secrets, the thickness of the lineup is standard, and it is not at the same level as the powerful team. There are so many pieces that can fight and fight, and can win. The tactical style is not flexible. Changeable, but like a master in a martial arts novel, learning much is better than learning well, Valencia practiced the defensive counterattack and killed the Quartet.

Cooper used this set of defensive counterattack to come to the Champions League final. The British media mocked Cooper in order to give Millwall a momentum. This Aldridge disagreed, but admired Cooper instead.

Valencia's own lineup is inherently insufficient, and defensive counterattack is the most reasonable tactical choice.

Their main lineup of defenders has an average age of more than 32, and the two full-backs are more than 34 years old. They do not play defensive counterattacks. Do they really make them rush up? It is reasonable to allow the midfield line to protect the defender line so that the team as a whole is consistent.

And Valencia’s number one star is Flea Claudio Lopez, who is the core of the team’s counter-attack tactics. He often surprises the opponent on the left, causing the opponent’s defense to be turned upside down, and allowing the opponent’s defender to see it. Like every ghost.

The leader of the team is the Basque tough guy Mendieta. The Valencia midfielder team he leads is one of the best in Europe.

After all, football is played, not compared to it. Practicability and efficiency are emphasized on the court. There are many big-name teams in the Valencia midfield combination, and there are many stronger evaluations, but they are combined. The effect is different from the reputation strength of a single player, this is the team chemistry.

After the game started, Valencia launched a wave of offense. Angulo was intercepted by Gattuso before the penalty area. Millwall was turned from the defender, but they did not take the initiative to seek fast, the rhythm was not fast or slow, and the ball was controlled. Very stable.

The La Liga team pays attention to pass and control, combining personal ball control technology with the team cooperation. Apart from the delicateness, sometimes the offensive can hit the mercury. This is also in the context of the annihilation of Serie A in the Champions League semi-finals after the new millennium. One of the reasons why the league began to usurp the position. In terms of the league environment, Serie A is not as good-looking as La Liga. Even though the Premier League gave birth to Manchester United and Millwall, the Champions League over the past two years, the overall appreciation of the league is not enough. Most teams are still sledgehammers, with physical confrontation as the main, tactical depth is not as good as Serie A, and technical display is not as good as La Liga. Because of this, Millwall ruled England and was sometimes degraded.

But today, Millwall showed a better ability to control the ball and pass and cooperate.

Valencia is playing a defensive counterattack, and the area of ​​focus is not too much, which gives Pirlo the space to dominate the midfield.

Ronaldinho, Larson, Nedved, the three are not in a hurry to rush up, they are implementing the Millwall football philosophy with action.

To rush to the frontline prematurely, you will only be stared to death, and you have reduced the scope of your activity.

Retreat, stabilize the rhythm, without anxious attack, and then suddenly increase the speed at the right time, creating an excellent opportunity.

The scene of the game was very different from what the audience expected, and people looked forward to Millwall's violent storm and Valencia's invincible counterattack.

The reality is that Millwall dominates the midfield slowly and attacks, Valencia can't make it, the players start to become frizzy.

In the 12th minute, Mendieta took the initiative to grab Pirlo. The latter decisively speeded up and split the ball to the side, giving Zambrotta a forward amount of advance. This is the signal that Mendieta is not in position, Zambro The tower rushed forward, and the speed came together, straight ahead and drove forward.

The 35-year-old Angelo has been staring at Ronaldinho, and Zambrotta has no one to intercept with the ball. Until he makes an inward action without passing, Angloma abandons Ronaldinho to come and rob, But when he moved, Zambrotta passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho took the ball and crossed the goal in front of the bottom. Canizares predicted the correct. He fell to the ground and pressed the ball under him in advance. Henry then A shot could be formed in one step, he gave a thumbs up to Ronaldinho, and then ran back to defend.

Valencia launched the offensive, Millwall's offensive line withdrew from the midfield for a mad rush, the midfield line guarded the key area and marked the man, and the defender line was pressed forward and connected with the midfield line to form an encircling circle.

Farinos and Herald passed each other twice and risked to pass the ball to Lopez in front of the left. The little flea touched the ball and made people clap, passing Schneider!

Unfortunately, as soon as he passed Schneider, he didn't touch the ball again. Materazzi consciously made up the space between Schneider and him. After Lopez passed, the ball was a bit far away from him. Materazzi Go straight up and half turn to sweep the ball to goalkeeper Bout.

Bute stopped the ball, kicked the ball to Southgate, and returned to Zambro Tara at the position to respond. Millwall again organized the offensive, the pace was not slow.

Struggling to control at a slow pace is one of the targeted arrangements for Audridge before the game.

Opponents are good at playing defensive counterattacks. If Millwall deliberately plays fast, even if it can increase the offensive pressure, it is easy to give opponents counterattack opportunities.

Slow tempo can keep the overall formation reasonable, and will not easily appear empty, and Aldridge believes that Millwall has an invisible advantage that Valencia does not have.

Champion temperament, calm in the final.

Valencia played the Champions League final for the first time, the pressure can be imagined.

And they haven’t had a league title for nearly three decades. Under such a background, Millwall’s mentality should be calm and slow down. Millwall will attack one by one. Valencia’s pressure will become more and more because, The contradictions in their hearts will become more and more fierce. They are eager to win, afraid to lose, without the right to the ball, they cannot control the offense, they cannot control their destiny, what win?

The intuitive reflection of the situation on the court is that Pirlo controls the ball, can't Valencia grab it?

Rob, who will grab?

The striker can't grab it, and the midfielder will lose his position when pressed up.

When Pirlo controlled the midfield with ease, he steadily played the ball from left to right, often able to beat Valencia after a penetrating penetration.

Especially after Millwall's offensive players came to a crossover.

"Milwall’s tactics today are very targeted, completely suppressing Valencia, the Bat Army cannot play a threatening attack, and Mendieta can only pass back under the pressure of Zambrotta, Pellegri Connaught kicked the ball forward and returned the ball to Millwall. It seems that Hall’s preparations are very sufficient, and he does not give his opponent a chance to fight back."

The outbreak of Valencia this season certainly has a certain relationship with their background.

Like Millwall's first season in the Champions League, the European giants despised the mad lion, and Aldridge used the defensive counterattack to fight the heroes.

To put it bluntly, the opponent despised and thought he could win the game with a strong attack, but was caught off guard by surprise.

Aldridge is not in a hurry today, to avoid the over-pressure of the team and give the opponents counter-attacks, compress the midfield, and madly **** when Valencia attacks. The speed, Millwall players are faster overall, the opponent can only rely on Passing the cut, this point, Aldridge is confident that Millwall's tactical discipline and execution can limit the other party's play.

In the 36th minute of the game, Kylie Gonzalez broke through Pirlo and was cut off by Gattuso. Gonzalez abnormally stared at Pirlo. Gattuso just about to knock the ball to Pirlo 'S actions stopped abruptly.

Gattuso seems to be a little bit of a brain crash. He originally planned to pass the ball to Pirlo. He found that he did not run out of time and was stared to death, so he didn't know what to do next.

Lopez is coming from behind Gattuso. Pirlo sees the bad situation and reaches directly to the right. Gattuso closes his eyes and passes the ball over there.

Schneider put on the catch and directly launched a quick counterattack.

Schneider, who suddenly speeded up on the wing, passed Herad, and easily buckled on the wing. This game was replaced by the main player Kabooni.

The left-back has played very few games in the league. Today, the performance on the court is very general. Schneider made a sudden stop and smashed the ball laterally and entered the penalty area from Herado.

Valencia's back line was shocked, and Schneider was quite calm. After observing his teammates' running position, he knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Henry reversed the position and pulled out of the penalty area. He faced the ball at the top of the arc The instep of the instep knocked the ball into the hinterland of the penalty area.

Henry pulled out of the penalty area, Larson slanted into the middle, and the two had a perfect running position. Henry formed a cover for Larson and attracted the attention of the defensive players. This time, he also sent a subtle assist.

Larsson just faced the goalkeeper after leading the ball in the penalty area, but within a distance of less than two meters, Giukic and Pellegrino formed a double-team against him, he did not have much time to think.

Stop the ball, swing your legs, push the dead end.

Larson's rhythm is just right. After he finished shooting, Jukić and Pellegrino reached out at the same time with their legs blocked. Larson stumbled and looked at the ball all the time, Canizares Swinging out, but the angle is too tricky, he can only watch the ball sigh.

Larson stabilized his body and ran away with open arms to the sidelines.

"Henrik Larson! Henrik Larson! Henrik Larson!!! Even though the number of goals this season is lower than Henry, Larson is refreshing every goal. The killer of the first goal scorer in the history of the Millwall club team. How can he be less in such a key game? This is his stage. At the end of the sixth season of Millwall, he was Mill. Wall has scored more than 160 goals, the king of efficiency! This is a cooperation between Schneider, Henry, Larson, simple and fast, a fatal blow, Valencia should not give Millwall this Not only did Larson catch the ball steadily in the penalty area, he even had time to adjust the shot, maybe it was less than two seconds, but for Larson, it was enough! Now, Millwall leads Valencia 1-0, the club’s second Champions League trophy is beckoning to them, and the Triple Crown King Albert is close at hand!"

Larson came to the side of the court and smiled as he stood in front of the fans' stands.

For him, it is too difficult for the national team to honour the honor, so that next year he will be 30 years old and he has the idea of ​​withdrawing from the national team. the power of.

Looking at the crazy lion fans cheering for him passionately, Larson said: Not enough, not enough.

What is not enough?

The second European Championship?

Not enough, not enough.

Millwall can get more, third, fourth, fifth...

He is here to bring more trophies to the club, to the fans, to himself, and more!

He is not as lucky as Henry to be a World Cup champion at the age of 20, but he also has a heart to become a legend and to surpass many legends familiar in football!
