Chapter 688: Significance

Juventus' three-back system was indeed stunned by Millwall's counterattack. However, it is also nonsense to say that with the three-back system, Juventus will definitely lose.
At least when they adopted a correct offensive strategy, Millwall's threat of counterattack plummeted, and the pressure on the back defense suddenly eased.
In the 56th minute, Piero found a short exposure in the penalty area. After catching the ball, he passed Barzali beautifully and got a chance of a single-shot. Palyuka once again blocked the Prince Zebra with his body. Must score!
Aldrich saw this and knew that it would not work like this.
Juventus is ultimately a strong team at the top of the class. Millwall's backup lineup is at the top of the second-class level at home. At best, if the most threatening counterattack cannot be hit, you should recognize it. Reality, instead of blindly resisting, may seem brave, but the result will be tragic.
Today this game is very important for young guys.
If they lose, especially if the two-goal lead is reversed, the confidence blow to them will be huge, and if they win, they will be flat. It will be a great spiritual inspiration for them and will be of great benefit to their future development.
In the 60th minute, Millwall made a substitution.
"Milwall took the lead in substitutions, and Kaka, the scoring hero, was replaced. It was Gattuso who replaced him. It seems that Hall wants to keep the two goals."
The Lion King Stadium gave warm applause to the goalkeeper Kaka.
Aldridge put his eyes on the court after high-fiving with Kaka on the sidelines.
After Gattuso played, he ran to Pedretti, Alonso, and De Rossi simply exchanged a few sentences and then stood in his place.
Millwall, with a four-pointer!
Of course, instead of standing in line, Gattuso was in the middle, Pedretti and De Rossi were on both sides, who was in danger on both sides, Gattuso could support, Alonso was in front of Gattuso The job is the midfielder, standing in the center-forward position, Klose withdrew the midfielder, Villa single forward.
To say a specific formation, it is 4411.
Juventus fully exerted his true strength in the second half. After Millwall's substitutions, the key lower back area was adjusted, and the adjustment was not small. The players were familiar with the main substitutes. In the process of establishing a tacit understanding of cooperation, this period of defense will be a little flawed, Juventus, decisively caught!
In the 63rd minute, Davis dashed behind De Rossi, then scored the ball and then cut in. After attracting Metseld's attention, Zhisai handed the ball to Trezeguet. The latter did not waste a good opportunity this time. The ball turned half and turned and shot, but Palyuka failed to close the corner. Trezeguet also played this ball very tricky, hanging upright at the top of the upper corner of the goal.
"Juventus pulled a ball back, and the suspense of the game was back. I don’t know if Hall would make another substitution adjustment after the goal was dropped. Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho were sitting on the bench. Larson, what about Nedved?"
Juventus pulled a goal back, the momentum was stronger, Millwall was shortened the gap, and the fighting spirit was more vigorous. There was only one goal gap, and then another goal was scored, then the victory became a draw.
Aldrich knows clearly that if he gets another goal, no matter what time, Millwall's mentality of the backup lineup will collapse, and Juventus is not impossible to complete the reversal.
However, he has not made other adjustments. Gattuso came on the court, the signal has been released, and the team's thinking should be more unified.
The strength is not as good as the team of Juventus.
Aldridge didn't have the idea of ​​competing for face, otherwise, he simply sent all the main players to play.
Training young people has always been from the defense. This is a tradition established by Aldridge over seven years of coaching and one of his styles.
Since helping the team to reach a new glory last season, Gattuso's spirit has been renewed, and may not be seen in the main lineup, but in the bench lineup, he played on the court, although he lost the ball, but there is no slightest Panic, storms and waves have been experienced, throw a ball, panic!
He encouraged his teammates to lead by example on the defensive line. After he was completely in the game, he used a sturdy style to drive the team's momentum to compete with Juventus.
Since then, Millwall's danger in the restricted area has been reduced. Three midfielders in the four midfielders plus Alonso frequently blocked Juventus' offensives in the periphery.
As time went by one minute and one second, Juventus began to speed up the offensive rhythm in order to equalize the score, and players' mentality also began to change.
In the 81st minute, Davis was knocked down by De Rossi during the breakthrough, and was knocked down to the ground by De Rossi fiercely. Davis got up and pinched with De Rossi.
De Rossi did not step back, his head directly against Davis' sports glasses, and he looked like a hot little lion.
Gattuso rushed to help De Rossi with his teammates for the first time. Instead of persuading him, the boy used to help De Rossi...
The referee quickly quelled the player's conflict, gave Juventus a free kick, and gave De Rossi a yellow card, Davis "innocent release".
There was a boo in the Lion King Stadium, and the referee decided that the penalty was unfair.
De Rossi was a little afraid in his heart. He was the captain in the youth team. As long as there were conflicts on the court, he was the first to rush to help his teammates. This habit cannot be changed. The conflict with Davis just brought himself With a yellow card, he didn't know if this would make Aldridge scold him for not being calm enough.
But when he looked at Aldridge with a lingering fear, he saw Aldridge's mouth twitched and gave him a thumbs up gesture.
This scene was also captured by the live camera.
"It seems that Hall is not only angry about De Rossi's foul, but also thumbs up to praise the other party. It should be to praise De Rossi's courage."
De Rossi had the bottom of his heart, and he was not afraid, and re-entered the battle.
It's definitely not a good thing to foul, but who can't foul a defensive player who plays at the midfield?
Aldridge really praised De Rossi's courage, or his fiery temper, which Aldridge appreciated.
On the football field, elegant, often refined, can make players outstanding, but also has a certain sense of distance.
Like Zidane, Henry, Pirlo...
They are good players, good teammates, and use the ball skills to drive the team forward, but football requires not only the ball skills, but also spiritual attributes.
Can't imagine that if Vieira, Keane does not have a half temper, will it be a world-class back?
Although spiritual leaders do not require hot-tempered players, for example, Nedved is a spiritual leader with a strong fighting spirit, but some players should have a hot temper!
A top team, a king-level team, a dynasty team like Millwall, there must be such a person in the team, because your opponent is not as good as you, it is likely to hurt you in a despicable way, Invading you, your temper is not hard enough, you may be bullied, and you will lose to your opponent, which will affect your strength.
Millwall's first team has such roles. Materazzi, Gattuso and Southgate can all stand up to defend the team at the crucial moment with tough guys or even villains!
With little time left in the game, Juventus can't stand the offensive. Millwall's defense is more stable than before, because there are more defensive players and higher fault tolerance.
Juventus' positional battle is really not able to play fresh tricks, no matter how to pass in the outer periphery, it can't tear out obvious emptiness. Simply come rough and long shot! Chong hanging!
Millwall's counterattack, which was silent for more than half an hour in the second half, regained his chance.
With the failure of Juventus' long-range shots and the rush to return without success, Millwall's counterattack from defense to offense can be reorganized.
But the effect is far from the first half.
Klose and Villa could push the attack to Juventus' penalty area, but could not break through the opposing defender's line.
Juventus three guards, three defenses and two, no problem at all!
The fans in the stands are sorry.
Two-person offense and three-person offense, the power gap is not simply a 1-2 person cooperation or point-to-point, at a glance, but if it is a 3-person, passing, running position, the offensive routines and changes that are bred are better than the two-person cooperation, the gap is Geometrically multiplied.
And Juventus is not the kind of opponent who counterattacks, a team that can be single-handed if it is over the top.
When Millwall returned without success, Aldridge would applaud Villa and Klose.
In this environment, being able to score is magical, not scoring, and pushing the offense to Juventus' penalty area is also a huge contribution, and it is very helpful to the team.
At the very least, Juventus' formation will retreat while defending, giving Millwall a breathing space for back defense. When Juventus attacks again, everything will start again.
Juventus was mad, and Lippi felt stumped.
Before the game was ridiculed by Aldridge, but in the game, the opponent put the bus shamelessly!
And still have a very good level bus!
If it weren't for Juventus when the defense was adjusted, maybe the score was still 2:0.
In the last minute of injury stoppage time, Piero attempted a personal breakthrough on the line of the penalty area. Metzelder and Gattuso hit the ball before and after the ball and fell in the penalty area. The referee said nothing, and the Juventus players also Without too much protest, Piero fell, but he himself fell after being caught by Metzelder. If a penalty was awarded, it would be far-fetched.
Gattuso tackled the ball with a big foot, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.
"The fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage ended. Millwall defeated Juventus 2-1 at home, and Millwall, who came off the bench, scored two in the first half. In the second half, Juventus seized the opportunity to get a goal back, and then there was also a chance to equalize the score, but the young guys of Millwall, with their determined will, strong fighting spirit, and courage to fight, won the victory with excellent performance. Hold it firmly in hand. This is a victory that may not be of high value to Millwall at the moment, because they advanced to the second stage of the group stage before the game, but for Millwall's long-term construction Of ordinary significance, this season they have won two championships, the Charity Shield and the European Super Cup. One week later, they will travel to Japan to fight for the third championship, the Toyota Cup! Relying on the bench lineup in the League Cup, they also entered After the quarter-finals, we have reason to expect that this season's Millwall will gain more trophies. At present, there is no team that can challenge Millwall's kingship. Perhaps, Real Madrid of Spain is eligible... …"
