Chapter 149: Withdraw from the championship team

The immaturity of the team is often reflected in two aspects, one is the immaturity of the tactical system, that is, the team's offense and defense is disorderly, and the other is the team's mentality. The performance in the big scene or key games is not stable and calm.
Millwall took both today.
It was the immaturity of the mentality that triggered the collapse of the tactical system.
The team practiced to pass the teamwork, pay attention to the ball, simple and fast.
But when you hit the ball and pursue a fast pace, it also needs to be within the ability of the players.
For example, if the pass is too big, the player cannot catch up, the pass is too early, and the player is not in place. This is closely related to the maturity of a team.
Millwall players want to swallow their opponents in one go, so they want to destroy Leeds United in a destructive way. The pass is getting faster and faster. You need to think when you kick the ball, but you are going to pass it consciously. When the ball is fast, the thinking is often unable to keep up with this rhythm, and the passing ball is unsatisfactory.
For this reason, it seems that Millwall attacked madly in the first half, but the offense actually played a mess, making Aldridge see a feeling of blood dripping.
It’s true to pursue fast, but there is a saying that a half step ahead is a genius, a step ahead is a lunatic.
As long as Millwall controls the rhythm in an appropriate high-speed state, they can control it themselves, and Leeds United can't keep up, and half a step away, Millwall's advantage will gradually manifest, but meaninglessly pursue more. Faster and faster, but self-destructing the Great Wall.
This is not a matter of technical ability, or mentality.
Aldridge did not criticize the team, but still encouraged them.
When the second half started, Millwall seemed to return to the state he was in a few rounds before the league.
Offensive and defensive balance, the players will not deliberately pursue fast pace, but change the rhythm appropriately, fast and slow.
When the team's performance is getting better and worse, bad things happen, and it is also Audric's biggest worry.
After receiving the ball once, Pire's sudden speed-up breakthrough was done halfway and kicked the ball out of the sideline. He touched the back of his thigh and walked slowly to the side of the court.
Obviously, he was injured.
It is very easy to be injured when doing explosive start when the body is extremely fatigued.
Aldrich asked Shevchenko to warm up, and then comforted Pires, who could walk down on his own, at least to show that it was not a serious strain, otherwise he would lie directly on the ground.
He also called Thuram and Schneider and asked the two to clarify their duties on the offense.
Originally, Schneider should have an incisive offensive function, but he played very unsatisfactory in intensive defense. Aldridge let him only be responsible for the cross and tandem effect of the offense, and Thuram assisted not to go down. , And instead cruising in front of the penalty area, looking for long-range opportunities.
This is not the way to go, nor is it Aldridge’s ideal tactical execution plan, because Schneider was already on the first line. If he was only passing when he was marked, there was no unexpected effect.
Shevchenko didn't need to remind him too much on the court. Although he played right-winger in training, his duty was to cope with the forward penalty zone and turn him into a scorer. It is also a good choice to let him play on the left, but the reason is the same Yes, after Zambrotta assisted, Shevchenko still had to insert into the penalty area to form a threat.
After the substitution, Shevchenko immediately created a chance to play. He was better at driving the ball inside than Pire, and his running position made Leeds United's back line unpredictable.
Schneider's cross came to the goal point, and Shevchenko grabbed a kick at the back post to hit the ball on the crossbar and bounced it out.
There was a huge sigh at the Lion’s Cave Stadium, followed by warm applause.
The green Shevchenko touched his face, feeling as if he had failed to guilty, but he saw that no teammates showed blame on him, he exhaled heavily, and then ran back to participate Defense.
Time passed by one minute and one second, news from Newcastle United and Manchester United had come, both teams were leading their respective opponents, Manchester United had already led Nottingham Forest by four goals, and they would get three points without suspense. .
Shevchenko's forward insertion put great pressure on the Leeds defense line, and Larson began to actively withdraw, helping Nedved to share the offensive pressure.
When the seventy-fourth minute of the game came, Nedvide returned the ball to Makelele. Makelele, who drove the ball halfway through the half, passed the ball to Larson, who was right in front of the penalty area.
Before receiving the ball, Larson had already begun to observe the surrounding situation.
As Aldridge told at halftime, calm down!
Schneider's running to the bottom took away the full-back. Trezeguet pulled the back line in the penalty area. Shevchenko and Nedved's forward insertion also made Leeds United's defensive player. Mark yourself immediately.
Larson didn't fall into the siege except that he had a midfielder to come up and rob him, and he was very grateful to Trezeguet. This partner would really run out of position and pull away in the opposite direction to take away. The central defender on the right side.
The moment the ball rolled over, Larson's right foot ready to catch the ball suddenly lifted up, allowing the ball to roll under his feet. At the same time, he turned and ran forward, and the ball was forced to grab from under his feet and behind him. Rolled between his legs.
It's beautiful and clever!
Larsson turned to face the penalty area and took the ball home. After Trezeguet opened the right central defender, in a short span of time, there was a gap in the final defense of Leeds United. Larsson's dribble burst A single-pole trend has already formed.
The goalkeeper nervously lowered the center of gravity and opened his arms to expand the defense area, and the defenders rushed to Larson.
At this moment, Larson knocked the ball to the left, and Trezeguet, unmarked, hit the ball into the empty goal!
"In seventy-five minutes, Millwall finally scored! They pulled one back, two goals away to maintain the championship advantage, and fifteen minutes, can they do it? Oh, oh, wait, Wait, terrible, Trezeguet went to the goal and picked up the ball, but he sprained his foot. It’s strange that today Millwall’s players always hurt themselves without confrontation, maybe they are too tired."
Trezeguet had been tense before. After entering the ball, he suddenly felt a little relaxed. As a result, when he was anxiously picking up the ball, he shattered his feet. This is because the body was extremely tired and the movement and thinking could not be synchronized.
He wasn’t hurt badly, but he couldn’t continue the game anymore. He went straight out of the bottom line with annoyed face. He asked Nedved when he came up. He said frustrated and guilty: Let's change the boss quickly. We still have time. The boss said we can win, we will definitely win!"
Nedved touched his head to give him some comfort, then ran back to halftime.
Aldridge had to replace Trezegue with Solskjaer.
Even though the baby face is sure to leave in the summer, Aldridge still gives him a chance because he feels that he and these players are friends in life. If Solskjaer stays in the club for a minute, he has the responsibility to make him fair. Treat, have the opportunity to let him play, Aldridge will not hide him because he wants to transfer.
Before changing to the field, Aldrich specially arranged some tactical requirements for Solskjaer. Solskjaer listened carefully. Even if he was about to leave, he always thought that Aldrich said every word to him was huge His invisible wealth can make him use it for life.
In the second half, Leeds United still left two players in the frontcourt to find a counterattack opportunity, but after 80 minutes, they retired and no longer have illusions about counterattacks. As long as they no longer lose the ball, they can still Take away three points at the Lion's Cave Stadium.
Solskjaer didn’t take Trezeguet’s place after playing, but instead pulled out the penalty zone with Larson, and cooperated within a small area of ​​the frontier of the penalty zone. When Solskjaer sent Thuram one After the chance of a long shot from the foot, Leeds United's back line was immediately alert, even though the foot shot from a long shot.
The back line starts to come out, to avoid players like Nedvide and Thuram who plug in later to form a long-range shot, and also compresses the cooperation space between Larsson and Solskjaer.
When the game progressed to the second minute of injury stoppage time, Thuram, who completed a three-footed long shot, finally did not take a long shot again, but instead picked up a pass to the left of the penalty spot in the penalty area.
The Leeds defenders were dumbfounded. Larson, Solskjaer, and Nedvide were all in front of them, and there was no movement to rush up, but who passed the ball behind them?
Of course someone answers.
Shevchenko slanted into the penalty area from the left. The timing of passing was not particularly tacit. He started after watching the ball come out, but Thuram passed the ball with some surprises. All the players of Leeds United He thought he would shoot long, and the opponents at the front of the penalty area were all stared to death.
Suddenly, she didn't expect Shevchenko who quickly rushed from the side to the penalty area to complete such cooperation with right-back Thuram.
The goalkeeper attacked. Shevchenko unloaded the ball before the opponent took off. The goalkeeper threw it too fiercely. The ball bounced from his leg to the back. After landing, he directly reached down and rushed over from him to kick the ball to the goal. Shevchenko.
The nuclear warhead fell into the penalty area, and the lion fans of the Lions Cave Stadium stood up angrily, frantically slamming the opponent’s goalkeeper for a foul!
Oh shit!
If he doesn't foul, Shevchenko will definitely be able to score the ball directly.
There is now a penalty kick, especially since it will waste a lot of time.
The referee halted the game, then sent off the Leeds United goalkeeper and awarded Millwall a penalty.
Larson stood on the penalty spot and everyone knew the importance of the penalty.
However, the positive situation is that the opponent's substitute goalkeeper has come up without warming up.
Larson pushed the goal lightly and pushed the bottom right corner of the goal, the goalkeeper directly went in the wrong direction.
Millwall equalized the score!
Larson immediately went to the goal to pick up the ball and ran back after scoring. Without Millwall players it would be a waste of time, but Leeds United players were not very cooperative and they walked slowly towards the center circle.
Nedved reminded the referee to delay the time and should give them some extra time.
All the fans stood up.
The three minutes before stoppage time passed long ago.
No one knows when the referee will sound the whistle at the end of the game.
Leeds United kicked the ball, they passed the ball back, Milvoge's player rushed up to force the ball, the opposing defender kicked the ball towards Millwall's backcourt with a big foot.
The kick was really powerful, high and slow. When the ball landed, the referee's whistle sounded.
The game is over.
Leeds United, determined to relegate, retired at the Lions Stadium.
Strictly speaking, it was Millwall that tied Leeds United.
After losing two points in this round, Millwall trailed 5-0 to Manchester United in Nottingham Forest, and was one point behind Newcastle United, a five-point win over Southampton. With two rounds left in the league, Millwall has only theoretical possibility to win the championship.
