Chapter 131: Strange array

After the halftime break, Aston Villa's players were in a very good spirit when they played. As long as they hold the second half for 45 minutes, they will win the championship trophy.
The Millwall players were ready to kick off and Aldridge called the warmed-up Matrazzi to his side.
"Boss, what are you going to do with me?"
Materazzian said loudly with a strong chest, like a soldier's determination.
Aldrich turned his head to look at him and asked softly, "Did you notice how the opponent's defensive formation is arranged in the first 45 minutes of the first half?"
Materazzi froze, and then expressed his opinion.
Generally speaking, there was no problem. Aldridge asked him to stand beside him, and took out his portable notebook from his suit, drawing a simple formation for him. It was Aston Villa's defensive system.
Three midfielders, one in front and two in back, four guards in parallel add a trailing centre back, the defensive system is very layered.
Whether a team will defend or not depends on the number of defenders and aggressiveness. The most important thing is the level of the defense system and the connection between the players. Many stars break through the opponent's entire defense line or pass the master one ball. Penetrating the entire line of defense, sometimes it's not how skilled they are, but the opponent doesn't understand what team defense is all about. The back line flocks up to grab a player.
Aston Villa's defensive system is very good today, and because it is the final, the players' tactical execution and concentration on the game are very high. It is commendable to only watch the defense.
They don’t swarm to opponents, but slow down their opponents’ offensive rhythm and compress space. When it’s time to grab, always a defensive player to snatch, forcing the opponent to either play or break, and there will be teammates around him Waiting for an opportunity for the next interception, the efficiency is extremely high, limiting Millwall's offense very well.
The second half of the game began, Millwall's offensive routines did not change, playing a combination of the side width and the use of the width of the court to create opportunities, but several passes to the penalty area threatening the ball were easily released by the opponent's Simika.
In the five or six minutes at the beginning of the second half, Aldridge has been explaining the defensive routines in the penalty area to Materazzi. Materazzi nodded very frequently.
After Aldrich made sure Materazzi understood, he turned to him solemnly and said, "Marco, your mission after playing is like this. When defending, you harass the opposing midfielder and the wing player. Unstoppable, then stay in the frontcourt. The important thing is that when attacking, you must be at the forefront, entangled with the opponent's Simeka, stay in shape, shoot if you have a chance, if he is not against you, then better, you Cover Henrik and David. Do you understand?"
Materazzi is tall and a good player in the header. The most important thing is that his shots are not outrageous. If he kicks a penalty, he is not like a central defender.
He nodded to understand that Aldridge patted his back to signal that he could play.
Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, the fourth official played a substitution sign.
Neal went down and Materazzi went up.
"What are Millwall doing? They are now behind! But Aldridge has replaced a central defender! The teenager Neil performed well today. His assist in the frontcourt is obvious, but Aldridge put him It's really puzzling to change it."
Millwall fans also looked at each other, and everyone discussed the substitution.
Are there three central defenders on the field?
Don't want to win?
Even Aston Villa coach Brian Little was confused.
He had expected what Millwall's substitutions would be, strengthened the midfield, replaced Vieira or Barak, strengthened the striker, replaced Solskjaer, no matter who was replaced, it would not be a center back, but Aldridge just changed for good!
After Materazzi played, the game continued, and he rushed into Aston Villa's penalty area, and Millwall's formation also changed.
Thuram stayed in the back line and formed a double centre-back with Stam. Southgate went up to make a double midfielder with Makelele. Nedved went forward and turned into a front waist. On both sides, he Lei and Schneider leaned towards the middle of the road, a bit like a posture with three front waists in parallel.
The most surprising thing is the striker. Trezeguet and Larsen are separated on both sides, and the top is actually Materazzi!
The narrator interpreted Millwall's changes from the audience, and opened his mouth without knowing where to start.
What the is this?
The location is 2233.
However, when defending, Aston Villa replayed a long pass to find York swimming to the left. Schneider was the first to chase the defense and rob York. After the goal was successful, the ball passed to Southgate At his feet, Southgate passed the ball back in front of Pires.
In Millwall's defense, Pire and Schneider retreated very deeply. They were more like 352 full-attack and full-defense side players. However, during the offense, they gave up the side and were close to the center.
Makelele inserted harassment forward and completed the response well. Nedved's pressure became less and his performance began to improve.
Pire took the ball and didn't set the edge, nor cut into the penalty area. He and Schneider completed a long shot or a 45-degree pass near the top corner of the big penalty area. They all compressed the attack in the middle.
Aston Villa suddenly had difficulty adapting, because their two full-backs were at a loss.
When there was no pressure on the sidewalk, it naturally contracted into the penalty area. The penalty area was full of people. Millwall’s attack was more intuitive. With a parallel line in the large penalty area, Pirley shot long, Schneider crossed, Ned Vader's long-range or forward penetration compressed the space in the penalty area to a minimum, and Makelele would come up to complete the long-range.
After the substitutions, Millwall's offensive hit a wave higher than the wave, the ball hit, popped, hit, popped, so back and forth, the offensive overwhelmed Aston Villa.
The most troublesome thing was Simeka. He had been very relaxed in the first half. He did not have a specific marking task. Eziogu and Wright were watching Larsson and Trezeguet, even if they were in their personal abilities. Downwind, Simika will ambush in the dark and wait for opportunities to successfully resolve the crisis in the restricted area.
Whether it's a missed ball or a missed person, Simika can solve it head-on.
But since Materazzi came on the court, the Italian tall man stuck to him like a dog skin plaster, blocking his sight, distracting him from the existence of the opponent and being unable to calmly judge the development of the opponent's offense.
What's more terrible is that Simika's physical confrontation with Materazzi is not an absolute advantage. When Schneider and Pire crossed from the high ball at 45 degrees, Materazzi's two tops were both Simika was shocked by the cold sweat, once the header was off the top and once the ball slipped over the heads of the two.
Aldridge was watching from the sidelines. What he wanted to strengthen was not ball control. That didn’t make any sense. The midfielder was originally Millwall in control. Although it seemed that there were more opponents, Millwall would be determined if he started the game. By passing the ball to control the midfield, they can create a record number of passes, but the game will only enter overtime and then take a penalty.
What Millwall needs is a deep attack, and the threat from the bottom pass is not big, because the opponent will stand up to defend the high ball. Pire and Schneider's 45-degree cross near the center road is more intuitive.
Materazzi, Trezeguet, Larson, these are header players, in fact, this is a tactical confrontation.
Simika had Wright and Eziogu as defensive screens, and Materazzi formed a screen against Larson and Trezeguet.
While Millwall gave up the wing, Aldridge knew it was a risk, because once Aston Villa fought back from the wing, the threat would increase sharply, but no tactical change is a sure win. The key is Brian. Little dare to take a risk!
Brian Little stood up and walked to the side of the court. His brow furrowed and worried. In just fifteen minutes, Millwall completed more than ten shots and shot four times.
The three midfielders couldn’t resist the bombing of Schneider, Piret, Nedved, and Makelele, especially when Materazzi attracted Simeka’s attention. The short pass penetration that couldn't open the halftime also had power, especially when Nedved got into the penalty area.
Aston Villa's defensive rhythm is disrupted. The origin is that their two full-backs. Nelson and Staunton did not counterattack and inserted assists. They defended honestly.
However, when they also contracted into the penalty area, they caused trouble to their teammates' defense. They recovered from the side to defend. Millwall players faced the goal directly. It was difficult for them to contain Milwaukee in impact. Attack, and teammates will be confused in the marking.
Are you able to resist it or not?
Keep it safe and leave it to you, don't make mistakes.
Don’t mess up if you can’t help it.
Makelele took the ball and passed diagonally to Schneider's right front waist position. Facing Kosic's defense, Schneider drew the ball to the right and there was a lot of free space on the right. Kosic thought he was going to bottom. So he turned back to block the space, but Schneider performed the performance of one pass after another lightly.
The ball flew into the penalty area, and quickly flew towards the dangerous area in front of the door. Materazzi, who was at the top, ran weirdly to the side. The header was rushed to the door before Simeka rushed to the door.
Simika's heart was cool, and his hand was pushing Materazzi's back, but his head had turned back to look behind him.
A lot of people in the restricted area went wild, and a shadow jumped into the restricted area and jumped high.
The blond hair shone brightly under the light!
Nedved!
Nelson, who narrowed the penalty area, harassed from the side, but could not prevent Nedved from completing the header.
Nedved wanted to head the ball at an angle, but the ball angled slightly towards the center of the goal under interference.
The goalkeeper Oaks blocked his hands reflexively, his short body flustered.
The ball bounced right in front of him. He swooped out to hug the ball, but there was a leg in the crowd that caught his eye, and the toe pierced the ball. Oakes widened his eyes and watched the ball incredulously from his arm. The following rolled behind him.
At least three people fell in the penalty area, but the ball rolled into the door of Aston Villa.
The referee whistle to indicate that the goal is valid and the finger is in the circle.
Aldridge closed his eyes and clenched a fist in his right hand, waving up and down in front of him.
The coaches behind him rushed out and celebrated with the players.
Larson, who climbed up from the door, ignored the uncomfortable face of Aston Villa captain Esiogu who was kneeling behind him, and ran to the periphery with excitement.
