Chapter 111: You guys are champions

Kevin Keegan's scalp is numb.
The Magpies attacked the five-man frontcourt against the chain defensive formation pulled up by Millwall's sevens. There was no positional warfare to penetrate the space, and their personal abilities did not prevail one-on-one. The Newcastle United proudly attacked. It looks like Huaquan's embroidered legs hit an iron plate.
They wore flowers and walked around to exchange positions, and they dazzled people, but they only made them panting and sweating, and had no practical effect at all.
Midfielder Robert Lee also stepped forward to participate in the offense. The offensive vs. defensive numbers are 6 to 7, but it still has no effect. Newcastle United play whatever they want in the midfield and frontcourt. Millwall will never take the initiative to grab, just wait After approaching the first 30 meters of the restricted area, they relied on teamwork to resolve their attack.
Keegan stood up and pointed to the player in the backcourt, also a talented player in Newcastle United's formation, John Berrisford, full-back!
In this era of English football tactics where the defender does not attack and the forward does not defend, John Berrisford is an assist-type full-back, which makes him a star on the field, especially every season. World wave goals with shocking eyeballs!
Beresford rushed up, unable to penetrate the positional battle penetration, his accidental long-range shot would be a good way to attack.
He just slid a long shot and passed the door, causing a loud uproar from the stands.
Aldridge didn't care, the blessings were at stake, and Newcastle United's offensive frenzy hit this part, which was just right for him!
Millwall has 7 defensive players, and only 3 players are attacking in the midfield.
Today, Aldrich chose to use Schneider. It seems that the player's activity area is not large. Schneider is a wing player. Although he can also move close to the middle, he is not his usual position.
But this is where Aldridge’s intentions are.
Beresford made another long shot and the ball was firmly held by Keller. Although Keller as a goalkeeper had limited capabilities and unpredictable potential, he was very obedient and he was always able to do the tasks assigned by the coaches during training. Well done.
The key to tactical execution depends on the player's consciousness.
Keller’s indoctrinated tactical philosophy is very simple. In the position of goalkeeper, he is one of the starting points of the offense. In this era, such a concept sounds a little fantasy. Does the goalkeeper go to attack?
But Keller did not ask questions, but did so.
He has developed a good habit. Whenever he hugs the ball, he observes the position of his teammates for the first time. His shot point is two wing, so he only took less than two seconds to adjust, and then He threw the ball and passed it to Thuram on the side.
Thuram stopped the ball and passed straight to him. In front of him, Schneider ran forward at full speed.
The area in front of him, Yipingpingchuan!
Where did the opposing full-back go?
Beresford is running towards the rear from Millwall's half!
Schneider took the opportunity to roll the ball in front of him and then continued to take the ball forward. When Aldridge saw Newcastle United defender Felipe Albert rushing towards Schneider, he showed a greasy smile. , Squeezed his fist hard.
Don't look at Kevin Keegan's euphoria. Five years later, he became a laughing stock. Almost all fans know that Keegan's team defense is sparse!
This is not because Kevin Keegan does not have a good defensive player. Not to mention that in 2000 there were four central defenders in Campbell, Adams, Keon, and Southgate. Just look at the current Newcastle United guard line. The Premier League ranks well.
The Belgian Albert is a central defender who can be selected in the top 30 stars in Newcastle’s 100-year history. Naturally, his strength is obvious to all. Wharton Barton is a crazy helper. In the summer, Newcastle spent 4 million pounds to introduce. The central defender with a market value of 4 million pounds can imagine the strength.
But football is a team sport. Offense needs cooperation, defense, and naturally needs it.
Millwall is now fighting back, the number is the same as Newcastle, 3 to 3.
But Albert voluntarily ran over to intercept Schneider. Seeing his move, Aldridge knew how bad Newcastle's defense was. There was no tactics. The correct move should be three defenders back to the restricted area. Form a joint defense and reduce Millwall's offensive space.
And Albert rushed to Schneider, so that the space inside and outside the penalty area was virtually enlarged. Schneider did not accidentally pass the ball to Larson before Albert approached.
Newcastle United's defense is like a poor performance on the rugby field, defensive players chase the offensive players one by one.
Barton rushed to Larson, but Larson led the ball in one go and slammed Barton behind in the process of sprint acceleration. At this moment, Watson rushing from the other side dropped the shovel and tried to shovel the pull. The ball at the foot of Larsson, but Larsson passed the ball to the goal sensitively in advance.
Goalkeeper Sirnicek abandoned the goal in a hurry, and there was no defensive player in front of him!
But the ball rolled to Solskjaer's unguarded feet.
In the face of the goalkeeper's attack, Solskjaer drew the ball lightly to the left front. The overturned Srnisek reached out on the ground. He was embarrassed to reach the ball. Solskjaer easily pushed the empty goal and scored.
Carnival singing at Lions Cave Stadium!
"Ole, Ole, Ole Ole!"
Even the commentator Martin Taylor is familiar with the rhythm of Millwall fans celebrating the goal.
He shouted with excitement: "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Super Solskjaer! Today he scored his first goal, although most of the credit for this ball is on Larson who assisted him. However, this is Millwall’s victory and the result of their team’s hard work. Newcastle United’s defense is really uncomfortable and makes people see no shadow of teamwork. Keegan lowered his head and lowered his head. Derich just smiled and applauded, it seems that he was not surprised by the appearance of this goal."
Aldrich doesn’t like Millwall’s tactics today, and the tactics of individual combat in the future will gradually break away from the mainstream. However, he is a head coach who understands flexibility. If nearly half of the main players can’t play, if he still returns It's a bit rigid to play offensive football.
Moreover, the three midfielders of Barak, Vieira, and Gattuso, in their early growth, naturally need to sharpen their defensive skills and teamwork awareness, but this game suppressed Zambrotta and Thuram The talent to step forward and assist only.
In the case of equal numbers, Newcastle United has only three defenses in the second half, and Millwall has only three players to attack. As long as in a counterattack, a single soldier can break through a defensive player of the other side, then the single-handed opportunity It's easy to appear, Larson got rid of Patton, Watson did not come to intercept, Larson went to the meeting with a single pole, Watson came to defend, Larson passed the ball, Solskjaer faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, anyway The offensive space is unimaginable.
Upper Schneider is not only a counter-attack after playing Berrisford assists, but also using his precise pass as an offensive tandem.
However, such tactics cannot be used for a long time. Players in the midfield and backcourts are used to this type of tactics and will be fatigued and talented, and may even affect their future professional achievements.
Keegan now has a hard time riding a tiger, what should I do?
The team is behind!
Millwall is so shameless, playing a shrinking defense at his own home, shameless?
In his heart, he scolded Aldridge, but Keegan could only make the attack harder for the players.
Retreat?
out on a limb!
Now there is only one way to Huashan, go!
The Millwall players were so excited that they would not think too much about conservative tactics in just a few tens of minutes, only that Aldridge on the sidelines had magical brilliance.
The main four can't make it, and they are facing the league leaders, but they just took the lead easily.
The boss is simply awesome!
Newcastle United players were unwilling, their jerseys were soaked in sweat, and they were busy for most of the half. Although there were only a few long-range attacks, Millwall stole a ball in a counterattack. Where to go?
The most hateful thing is that their armed forces showed that the eighteen martial arts should compete with Millwall, but Millwall set up a turtle shell array, and the seven defense lines were closely connected and overlooked. If it was painted on the line It is really similar to the turtle shell pattern.
Keegan's midfield adjustment has no effect, nothing more than strengthening the offense.
He was born to live for offense. He plays with a magnificent offensive while playing football. His offense is also vivid when he coaches. However, the offense requires space and stage.
In the second half, Newcastle United kicked more and more anxiously, and began to play personal breakthroughs and long pass unreasonably. Millwall's counterattack was still very efficient, and he almost penetrated the opponent's door several times.
Today, Larson seems to have forgotten to bring the shooting boots, and he has wasted one-and-a-half opportunities in the second half.
Schneider was gradually stared to death, Aldridge replaced another card, Kevin Phillips.
With Phillips at the forefront, Larson and Solskjaer sent him shells behind him.
Millwall changed to 4321.
This change, Newcastle United was immediately hit hard.
After Solskjaer withdrew the ball and played a two-on-one match with Larson, then Solskjaer took the ball all the way to the bottom line, almost copying the first half goal. When Patton came to defend him, The cross was given to Phillips, who was unguarded, and this demon knife pushed lightly to break the goal and locked the victory for Millwall.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Kevin Keegan stayed pale.
Aldridge walked past him arrogantly and smiled at him: "Wish Newcastle United to win the league title this season."
