Chapter 957: happy New Year

Many people think that the balance of 442 is an advantage. This advantage is that there are more options for changing the direction.
If you want to attack, you can aggressively invest in offensive forces, if you want to defend, you can also shrink the formation.
In terms of tactical changes, first of all, we should base ourselves on the balance point, while other formations are offensive or conservative. When changing, if it is an extreme change, it is easy to tear the tactical system of our team.
But Aldrich doesn't think so, even if someone criticizes his daring and tactical system this season for being too aggressive and lacking control.
It's almost the same as they lost points in the league.
The opponent's ultimate defense hit Millwall's counterattack.
If the first goal is scored by the opponent, then Millwall's game is very difficult.
Because you played all the offensive cards, the strongest offensive pressure hit the opponent's defense line from the beginning. The opponent will adapt to it and become more and more experienced. How can Millwall change? Do you invest in offensive forces again? No defense at all?
Aldrich never refuted a sentence, because it made no sense.
In his eyes, what Millwall lacks is the overall rhythm control, not whether the attack is too aggressive!
Today, in this 0:2 backward situation, the changes made by Audridge are two aspects.
First, the defender line, the full-back attack input is weakened, a bold attack, a solid defense, the guard line is normally a 3-guard system.
Second, Nedvěd retreated and hit the center midfielder. With Alonso and Pedretti supporting midfield control, they also strengthened the midfield defense. Normally, they are also 3 midfielders.
Then, Millwall changed from 244 to 334, or 343, because Ronaldinho has more space, and the inward cut will become a front waist.
This is a passive way to use the team to control the global rhythm, rather than directing the team through the core of the organization. The overall rhythm of the game will first drop, and then accelerate to rely on a single point of eruption.
Aldrich doesn’t like the explosion and acceleration of squadron heroism to change the game, because in the long run, such a rhythm change pattern lacks stability. Used to this mode, when there is no hero on the field, the team may not know how to win, how to activate the team's energy to change the game.
The reality is to accept it even if you don’t like it.
Wenger's preparations before the game were very good, and Aldridge was caught off guard, but in terms of on-site command, Aldridge claimed to be better than Wenger.
When Millwall made changes, Arsenal did not adjust the offensive strategy very quickly. They continued to counterattack with a flat midfield. They encountered Millwall’s intensive counter-attack against the middle road. They were pulled by only Yongberg. In the case of the width of the side tear, Millwall's three defenders and three midfielders will not give Arsenal more free time. In particular, the connection between the midfield line and the defender line has become closer, and Arsenal's counterattack cannot be advanced to The danger zone was frequently strangled by Millwall.
Aldridge standing on the sidelines was expressionless, and fans in the stands inevitably had a depressed mood. Last year’s Christmas War, oh, not just Christmas War, last December, in addition to the Toyota Cup at the beginning of the month, Millwall was simply It was a disastrous performance. The final round of the Champions League was forced out, and there was no victory in the subsequent games.
This year, I feel like I want to have a good new year. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect Arsenal to play 2:0 without ending.
Some fans who are not firm enough may complain in the heart: If the young handsome is playing more conservatively, it is estimated that the score will not be what it is now.
Arsenal are very strong in the league, but they are not invincible to cope with the constraints of insufficiency in the field and tactics.
In the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, at home, Arsenal were blasted by Inter Milan, which also has the same anti-ideology concept. 3, Cooper has already finished class in Italy, which was after the draw of Serie A was tied in the sixth round. Under the painful killer, Cooper suffered more pressure in Italy than Wenger. In addition to an impatient boss, the Italian media criticized last season's runner-up Inter Milan, because the team lacked control and The scene is ugly.
That is, in the Premier League, most teams will not put buses on the face of non-day public enemies. Especially at home, they still have to take care of the fans to watch the game and make the game more open. Arsenal's living space is definitely more comfortable than Inter Milan. However, at home, when Arsenal were to attack, they were destroyed by Inter Milan.
The Gunners also lost a goal in the Champions League in October. The away game against Dynamo Kyiv certainly has the inherent advantage of the Ukrainian team. However, Arsenal, who scored only 1 point in three games, almost missed the top 16.
Fortunately, in the end, the teams playing Russia and Ukraine are at home, do not need to fight against the cold in the cold environment, and the other classic game is to defeat Inter Milan 5: 1 away, except for Inter Milan coach The turmoil, in fact, is still the same old routine. Arsenal attacked the counterattack, and the opponent attacked. Arsenal's counterattack power is unparalleled.
So in September Inter Milan coached by Cooper was able to overturn Arsenal on the road, and in November, Arsenal ran away to revenge.
Aldrich's transformation is a tried and tested technique in his on-the-spot command: lure the enemy.
As long as the opponent is not absolutely utilitarian, he scores a goal or withdraws when he takes the lead and swings the bus. Even if the opponent still fights back, his means have room to play.
Let Arsenal fight back, and on the basis of the opponent's attack, there is room in the frontcourt. While the opponent's counterattack dies, Millwall's offense and defense conversion attack speeds up!
Before the end of the first half, this opportunity was used. When Ibrahimovic and Bogkamp encountered a mad rush by Millwall in the middle and made a mistake, Millwall quickly launched a wave of fast breaks. De brought the ball straight from the middle of the road, and in the face of Vieira, the ball was distributed to Ronaldinho. The latter had the space to start and also directly exploded to speed up.
Crossing the dribble to get rid of Lauren, and then go straight to cut the ribs. When Campbell and Vieira rushed over and defended, Ronaldinho and Villa made a two-on-one cooperation. The pass and running cooperation was very tacit, Ronaldinho went straight in In the penalty area, a low shot was made diagonally to the goal. The ball rubbed the inside of the near corner of the goal and rolled into the goal.
Millwall, who had recovered a goal, raced against the clock, and Aldridge's expression remained unchanged.
Wenger, his face became a little nervous.
In the first half, the two sides made no more achievements.
In the second half, Wenger's team tried to control the game, but this is not what they are good at. In the face of the pressure of Millwall's team, want to dominate the game at the Lion King Stadium? Obviously whimsical.
In the 60th minute of the game, Wenger saw that the team's strong attack on the middle had no effect, and immediately let the team switch back to the normal counterattack routine, combining the sides and using the width of the court as much as possible.
Aldrich saw the move, and also put the team back on the track of targeted deployment before the game. Their focus was to limit the penetration of the opponent’s restricted zone in the dangerous zone. Nesta blocked Ibrahimovic, Neal and Pedretti, who withdrew deeper, locked his ribs to prevent opponents who were plugged in later. This defense was very effective in a short period of time. Arsenal even failed to fight back three times.
In the 70th minute, Aldridge withdrew Nelson and replaced Lamore, and this substitution quickly received a special effect.
Instead of taking over Larson's position, Ramall organized on the sidelines. Ronaldinho gave up the organization and directly transformed into a shadow striker.
In an offensive in the 76th minute, Ramall and Schneider, who was plugged in, moved laterally to the middle after matching the sideline. Arsenal focused on Ronaldinho and Nedved in the backline, but did not expect Ramall Will come to the middle road, when Ramall put a ball straight to Ronaldinho's foot, then Ronaldinho crosses in the penalty area and assists the Villa in front of the goal to break the goal, the Lion King Stadium completely boils.
Aldridge still didn't smile, but waved his hand and let the team go back to kick-off, striving for a reversal in the final stage!
Wenger was in a terrible mood.
After the two-ball lead was pulled back, he no longer stubbornly supported, and he didn't want to have a strong team face, so the team weakened the offense and strengthened the defense. This is a common posture of their away game this season. Defensive, just facing Millwall's own oppressive offense, he started to defend in the first half. Wenger was afraid of night long dreams. There is not much time left now, and the physical fitness of the players has dropped. He is also satisfied.
Because of the atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium and the morale comparison of the two teams on the field, it seems that Millwall is about to go crazy.
That’s right, in the first half of the game, Wenger Qiqi made trouble for Aldridge. However, during the game, according to the situation of the game, Wenger no longer has a magical performance. He is now afraid of Aldridge. Another unexpected trick, and the card in his hand, there is really no backhand available.
Aldridge doesn't fight every time.
Fighting, it is necessary to consider whether the value is worth it.
Also analyze the specific situation.
The more Millwall reaches the second half of the season this season, the worse the physical condition of the full-backs. This is not a problem of strengthening the players' physical fitness, but the problem of the team's rhythm control and more reasonable use of physical fitness.
Coupled with its weak defense in the midfield and backcourt today, it is really risky to press, even if two or three counterattacks, Arsenal may eventually kill Millwall.
And is it worth the effort?
At the end of the half of the league, if you win this game, the gap with Arsenal is reduced to 2 points, if it is tied, it is still 5 points, if you lose, it is 8 points!
2 points, 5 points, 8 points, the gap is very obvious.
Especially considering that the second half of the league is against Arsenal at home, if it is 8 points behind Arsenal, it can almost be determined that the gap between the two parties has expanded to the difference of 3 net wins!
The momentum of Arsenal this season, it is almost impossible to pull back the 8-point gap in the second half.
Aldridge wants to win, but can also accept a draw. It is indeed Arsenal's preemptive strike today, there is nothing to complain about.
Millwall didn't fight, and Arsenal did their best to hold the draw. This Christmas battle was finally settled on a 2:2 result.
"Arsenal locked the half-time champion in the last round. Today, they retired at the Lion King Stadium and successfully defended the 5-point gap with Millwall, completing the first half of the league with 13 wins and 6 draws and 45 points. Cheng and Millwall ranked second in the standings with 40 points and 11 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss. I believe the championship suspense will continue until the season finale. It is expected that the variables that will have the most impact on the Premier League title will be It will be the performance of the two teams in the European War! Under multi-line combat, see who can make the team's record more stable!"
Aldrich shook hands with Wenger after the game, and the two said to each other: Happy New Year.
