Chapter 788: team leader

At the end of the first half of the second half of the Battle of the Century, Millwall completely expanded the total score to a shocking 8:3. The Lion King Stadium has already turned into a sea of ​​joy, and many crazy Lions fans have made their own Champions League trophy in Waving in the hands, for them, this is the perfect day, the perfect first half.
The Real Madrid stars stared into the player's channel in a haunting manner, which was a nightmarish first half.
The offense is extremely difficult, and the defense is full of mistakes.
Two weeks ago, he was ambitious to play against the top European team of kings, and was about to step on the throne of Millwall's body, and now it seems how naive the ambitions were at that time.
Aldrich praised the team's performance during the halftime break. He was not as excited and excited as in the last halftime break. The excitement brought by the stars gathering in the super war has passed. At this time, it is very calm: Real Madrid , But you're in love.
Aldrich should have been mentally prepared. When he studied Real Madrid, as of the end of the La Liga round, Real Madrid’s performance in the league was not impressive. Their winning rate was only 52%, and the league lost eight games. And eight different teams defeated them in La Liga, all losses were away, there are also eight draws, this is not a league performance that a top giant should have, but Aldridge thought Real Madrid was originally in history This season's Champions League championship, the personnel composition is also the same as in history, so they deliberately ignored these and placed Real Madrid in a very high and special position.
But if you think about it, Real Madrid’s two-stage group stage is very comfortable, and it still lost two games. It also lost one game in Bayern Munich’s knockout game. Even though they were the original champions of this season, but The overall strength did not top the giants, and Millwall's overall strength is super first-class, and also distanced from the top giants, especially playing La Liga, a team that focuses on midfield control, plus the other party's heavy offense Millwall may have the luck to pull the total score so large, but the overall strength is still significantly stronger than the other.
Thinking of these, Aldridge has nothing to be excited about. He wins the opponent. As a matter of course, he has built a super team for 8 years. If he can’t suppress Real Madrid’s opponent who has changed the midfield in the past two years. Aldrich felt that it could only represent Real Madrid’s gold dollar policy, and the victory of the superstar policy would be a shame for his failure.
Bosque did his best to mobilize the morale of the team during the halftime break. He comforted him first. After the team eased slightly, he inspired the team and then set the task for the second half.
Regardless of whether the adjustment is correct, he has to try it, rather than let it go. If that is the case, in this horrible stadium, Real Madrid, a green shady noble, will experience a historic bloodbath!
Before the start of the second half, Real Madrid made a substitution adjustment, Solari was replaced, the replacement is Karanka.
Aldridge saw Real Madrid make this substitution adjustment without having to wait for the game to start to understand Bosque's ideas.
Solari is an important substitute in Real Madrid, as is Karanka, and due to the influence of high-level policies this season, Pavin has become the main center defender. The former backup Karanka is still a substitute. The reason why he did not dare to use him before, certainly It is affected by the number of league appearances, the status is difficult to determine, to know that the number of league appearances of Karanka than Pavin, it is half less!
Kalanka withdrew to play as a central defender, and he can also take care of the left back. Defensively, he can expand the defense zone. Unlike some central defenders who are stunned, they are seriously dislocated.
Elgra regained the midfielder position. In fact, Real Madrid’s smoothest midfielder this season is Elgra + Makelele + Zidane. It was just a drop of the back line that forced Bo. Skoe withdrew Elgra from the field, and now 45 minutes later, he has revised the layout again.
In the first half, Real Madrid's midfield did not run smoothly. The fatal reason is that because of the thin backline defense, Millwall's attack does not require cumbersome organization and scheduling. In this way, their overall formation does not need to be pressed forward. Real Madrid is defended The idle time of the transition is not too big. The last midfield operation is much smoother than today. The reason is also at this point. Only when the defense has a certain guarantee and Millwall needs to invest more troops to attack, this can change. Ground weakened Millwall's defense.
The total score is already 8:3, Aldridge sat on the coach seat steadily, a substitution adjustment by Bosque was not enough to worry him too much.
But after watching the second half of the game for five minutes, Aldridge stood up. He found that Real Madrid's entire offensive system has changed.
Morientes retreated, Zidane pulled back, sometimes forming a local cooperative connection with Figo or Carlos, unlike the first half when Zidane developed an attack on the sideline, the middle of the road was empty, and now Elgra came up. , He can even more unscrupulously attack.
Real Madrid began to shift its strength from a global balance to a local advantage and then exploded. That is to say, Millwall had Nedved + Pirlo + Gattuso in the midfield. Real Madrid did not attack the middle first, leaving a return Morantes withdrew as a receiving point, and threatened to take the ball as a ball, pinned Millwall's midfield defense, and then concentrated on the wing.
Regardless of the back defense assists, Carlos either cooperated with Figo or Zidane. When the attack advanced to the parallel position of the large penalty area line, Raul flexibly penetrated the defender defense zone to form a disruptive raid, and Zida Inside, Figo and Morientes are evenly distributed or concentrate in an area for impact!
Aldridge frowned. Real Madrid played this way. The tactical level is correct. They can use their superstar's small-scale ball control ability. Instead of playing through breakthroughs, they use a small-scale concentrated force to play the team to coordinate the transfer.
But it was definitely not possible to play like this in the last game. They attacked so fiercely. In case the attack could not be achieved, Millwall had Ronaldinho on the left, Larson on the right, Nedved and Henry in the middle echoed back and forth. As long as the ability to disrupt the opponent's defense from the inside, the threat of Larson will rise linearly.
But today, Millwall does not have Ronaldinho. Perhaps Bosque calmed down at halftime to understand this. Millwall actually lacked a core today!
The outside world says that Millwall is a dual-core configuration before and after. After Pirlo drags, Ronaldinho is in front, the two's organizational area is divided, to minimize the negative effects of each other, reduce the probability of chaos in the attack, and Ronaldinho is less In the frontcourt, Millwall's quality has declined regardless of whether it is a single raid or an organization transfer offensive. The threat like Kaka can only play a short pass all the way forward. With Makelele + Elgra, the second half Kaka will be caught in an unprecedented dilemma.
In this game, Kaka's performance has soared all the way, but the difficulties faced are gradually escalating. In the second half, when Real Madrid sacrificed his double back, Kaka was lost.
Time and time again, when he caught the ball and handled the ball, he tried to break the ball and the pass was not in place.
Aldrich walked to the sidelines, trying to find a chance to communicate with Kaka briefly. His inner thought was to give Kaka more time to let Kaka go through such a test, even if it fails, it does not matter, but it must not be hit by difficulties. Down, forming a demon.
However, in the 58th minute of the game, Carlos made a frontline touchdown. He vigorously threw the ball to the rear of the Millwall guard line.
This is obviously a carefully practiced tactic. The Millwall defender line was pushed forward in order to face Real Madrid's local number advantage, and also wanted to make Real Madrid's pass and match failure by creating an offside method.
Carlos' sideline ball was thrown, not a high-altitude ball, but a half-height ball bounced into the penalty area. The route was thrown from the sideline, flying through the middle of the full-backs Schneider and Materazzi, the landing point will be Behind Materazzi, who is the responder?
Raul!
Raul started from the Southgate side, and the running route crossed the middle of Southgate and Materazzi. The ball rolled diagonally, and Raul also ran diagonally. Once the ball was scored, the ball intersected At this point, it becomes a single-pole trend!
Materazzi turned around again and it was definitely late. Carlos threw the ball not only with great strength, but also with a precise route. Even if Southgate reacted to chase Raul, Raul was left behind.
Bute abandoned the door, but apparently Raul would touch the ball earlier and at least five meters away from Butt.
Predicting that Bout's attack is impossible to block Raul's single-handed sword for the first time, Southgate started to pursue Raul while he was about to be thrown away. He pulled Raul's shoulder and immediately let go. Only let Raul have a slowdown in speed and then close, and then he can stick to Raul for a reasonable physical collision.
Raul was dragged down at full speed and his steps became messy, and then fell into the penalty area.
Southgate heard the referee's whistle at the moment beyond Raul.
He sighed deeply in his heart, then stopped and turned around, seeing the referee running towards him while reaching into his chest pocket.
Southgate closed his eyes and became a boo after hearing an uproar from the Lion King Stadium. He knew his destiny.
"Red card! The referee showed the red card to Southgate without hesitation! Southgate had a pulling action against Raul, otherwise Raul would not fall. Obviously, if Raul did not fall, This must be an opportunity for a single-handed ball. We cannot defend Southgate's red card. It is just cruel to Southgate. He will miss the next Champions League final. There will be another half an hour. After throwing 5 balls, they will reach the final of the Champions League for the third consecutive year and the fourth time in history, waiting for Southgate will be a record-breaking glory, but this red card has changed everything and changed his fate!"
The fans of the home team of Lion King Stadium of course did not do it, boos, and put pressure on the referee.
Southgate opened his eyes again and did not defend himself, even if Materazzi, Nedved, Pirlo, Schneider, Bute and other teammates all surrounded the referee, trying to make the referee sentence lighter, but the main The referee has not changed the signs of sentencing.
Real Madrid players also surrounded the referee, they are trying to pressure the referee, thinking that Real Madrid should also get a penalty.
Raul fell in the penalty area.
However, Southgate hugged the ball, walked to the top of the penalty area and placed the ball there, walked to the head referee, separated his teammates, and said to the head referee: "I fouled, you show me a red card, I don’t argue, but, I know where I fouled, it’s there, outside the penalty area, not a penalty! More than 60,000 pairs of eyes on the scene have confirmed this from the playback on the big screen, you dare to award a penalty, that is A serious mistake in your work!"
After finishing this speech, Southgate turned and walked halfway. He stopped and turned around. Nedved was running to try to comfort him. Southgate removed the captain's armband from his arm. He took it off and shook his head slightly towards Nedved, indicating that the other party should stop comforting him. He personally put the captain's armband on Nedved, patted the back of the other person's head, and turned away without a word.
Aldridge didn't expect such a huge change on the sidelines. Needless to say, the coaching staff has already let Metzelder and Neal warm up. On the bench, just the two guards, anyone can do it. Anyway, be prepared to see who Aldridge sent.
When Southgate walked to the sidelines, Aldridge with a serious expression suddenly asked, "Did you think about the consequences when you started?"
Southgate stood in front of Aldridge and shook his head: "No, no time."
"Do you regret it?"
"Do not."
Aldridge suddenly smiled and reached out, Southgate and he gave a high chest and walked into the player aisle. When he left, the booing of the Lion King Stadium stopped and became applause. The stands near the player aisle All the crazy lion fans on the stage stood up and applauded and watched Southgate leave with respect.
