Chapter 267: Forget the champion status

From the first minute of the game, Aldridge's heart hung.
It's not that Dynamo Kiev performed too well, and it is estimated that it is only playing at a normal level.
But there are few players who play well on Millwall.
At the beginning of the game, Zambrotta slipped to the ground while defending on the wing. If it wasn’t for Lampard, he would shove the ball under Haskovic out of the bottom line. During the acceleration process, Millwall's entire defense line was broken, and Rebrov was out in front of the penalty area. It was a fatal pass for his teammates.
Dynamo Kyiv followed with a corner kick. The two defenders in Millwall's penalty area seemed to be slow to respond and moved significantly slower than usual. Schneider at the later point just asked for a header but was pushed back by a man behind him The ball hits the goal.
"Karazze's header! Butter made a difference! He held the ball firmly in his arms, this is a world-class save!"
According to the past habits, as long as Bout controls the ball, he will definitely choose to counterattack, but now he is more mature in the goalkeeper position, he notices the abnormal play of his teammates, so he hugs the ball and slowly slows down the rhythm to let the teammates There is a cushioning space for breathing and calming.
Seeing this situation, Aldridge gave a gesture to the frontcourt, and both front waists and forwards contracted back. Starting from the backcourt, the space between the fronts was compressed to strengthen the danger. Protection of the area.
Although Millwall players were very serious when they warmed up, after the warm-up, in this cold temperature, their bodies quickly cooled down again, giving them a powerful feeling.
This is the most normal human reaction. Ordinary people do strenuous exercise in cold weather, and the frequency and rhythm are deliberately controlled. This is the self-protection nerve that plays a role. Millwall is not as familiar as his opponent. Leng Qiu, running is not as good as opponents on the one hand, and not daring to make large moves is on the other hand, which limits their play.
What's worse, because they can't show their strength, the players become agitated after the opening.
I always feel unwilling, as if the opponent is hanging up, but he is put on a curse, how can this make them not worry?
Aldrich conveyed instructions to the players that it was impossible for the on-the-spot command to discuss the adjustment of mentality with the players.
But the head coach can make adjustments by letting the players act through the game.
The front line shrinks, pass more first, it doesn't matter if you pass back, first make sure you don't lose the ball, and run up in the process of passing the ball.
In this way of running and passing, boring ball control, Millwall's ball control rate exceeded 80% for 20 minutes before the game!
However, this 80% possession rate has no effect on the intuitive trend of the game.
The deep-seated impact is: Millwall players' bodies have run hot during these twenty minutes of passing the ball, their mentality has stabilized, and self-confidence has returned.
This ball control is not to threaten opponents, but to adjust themselves.
Dynamo Kyiv did not dare to push the ball across the board, so when Millwall fell in the backcourt, doing seemingly meaningless back-and-forth running, and passing the ball back without success, Dynamo Kyiv The players don’t understand, they probably think that Millwall is going to spend time in the backcourt and then leave Ukraine with a draw.
Dynamo Kiev fans stopped, booing in the stands and making fun of it.
"This is the Premier League champion?"
"Don't you dare to live through halftime?"
"This is the best team in Europe last season? My son's school team plays better than them."
"Pass it, pass the head, tortoise!"
The fans of the crazy lion were all worried.
What's wrong with the team?
The starting lineup is conservative and the play is conservative. Are you really afraid of Ukrainian classmates?
It wasn't until the 26th minute of the game that Millwall ushered in a threatening offensive.
Schneider participated in the offensive on the wing, Barak assumed the premise of the attack, Nedved retreated from the front waist, and the three completed a continuous pass in the midfield and Schneider broke through on the wing. Kosovsky's defense.
But Schneider couldn't play the advantage of speed today. He had an illusion that the Ukrainians on the opposite side ran faster than him. Although he was not known for his speed, but when there was room to move forward, he aimed at the opportunity to start bursting. Rushing for 30 meters, not many people in the Premier League can catch up with him, because the opponent has to turn around and start again.
But after he passed Kosovsky today, he still couldn't distance himself from the opponent. Under desperation, Schneider knocked the ball back to Nedved.
Nedvěd did not stop the ball, but a straight pass made the ball pass precisely between the Dynamo Kiev Karaze and Vashchuk, and penetrated the entire line.
At the same time, Shevchenko, who entered the game today the fastest, played almost without any impact, inserted the rib at the bottom line, and got the ball at the bottom line. Just when Dynamo Kiev retreated the entire back line and pressed against him, she Puchenko returned the ball to the top of the penalty area.
Larsson, who was following up, came out of Husin and Kadash's bag and shot the ball!
This is a great opportunity, but last season's European striker king kicked the ball away.
In this unsuitable weather and playing field, Larson failed to play the normal level. At least this ball, even in poor Premier League, can hit the goal range.
Aldridge applauded the disciples on the sidelines, praising the offense and keeping them discouraged.
After seeing this attack, Jenson stood up and walked to Aldridge, whispering: "It is better to let the players play like they did just now, and it feels amazing."
After listening, Aldridge shook his head and said, "No, that's not our style. If we win the ball like this, the players will include this in a tactical choice. I don't want that kind of thing to happen, and this tactic May not penetrate the defense of top teams."
After thinking for a while, Jensen didn't insist, and turned around and sat back.
In fact, Millwall kept the offensive suddenly launched after a long period of ball control. It is a bit similar to Guardiola's Barcelona. Patience is guaranteed on the basis of ensuring ball control.
This has a very different effect on the morale and mentality of the two teams.
Millwall players are in motion, and their thinking rhythm is getting faster and faster, while the Dynamo Kiev players are fighting in the frontcourt, but one unsuccessful, two unsuccessful, three times unsuccessful, they will gradually lose their minds, defense There will be loopholes in the link, and the distance with teammates will be opened in the unsettled fight, and the players on the defender line have been "hypnotized".
They watched the ball passing in front and back, from left to right, from right to left, the local players couldn't touch the ball, their surging fighting spirit was gradually worn away, and their bodies also cooled down.
Under such circumstances, Millwall suddenly launched a wave of forward penetration offensive, the other side will be suddenly accelerated by the rhythm and exposed to empty.
Just now Nedved's straight ball is, if it is a high-speed running rhythm, how will Karaze and Vashkuk watch the ball roll between them, let alone Shevchenko The rib went to catch the ball, and Khrovka slowed by at least two steps. When they reacted, the defense line was full of loopholes. In anxiety, they all rushed to Shevchenko, but they missed it and inserted the follow-up pull. Nelson.
But such an offensive is based on the transfer of 20 feet and 30 feet. Aldrich does not think this is a tactic that can be popularized or that the crazy lion can be used to fight.
Relying on ball control is not enough to solve the problem.
The reason why Dream 3 Barcelona is brilliant is that there is a single ball combined with Messi who can continuously break through anyone within a meter. When the situation where Barcelona can’t pass the threat, always Messi stands out and solves it alone. Battle, and when Barcelona lose the key battle, the biggest problem is not whether they will pass the ball, whether they can control the ball, but Messi is not in the state, so whenever Barcelona loses, Messi will be punished. It’s very strange, because Messi is the offensive core, but not the tactical core. Probably because this tactic has achieved incomparable brilliance in the Spanish national team, so the outside world will not question the tactics, but rather the one who should solve the battle alone. Messi.
Now Millwall does not have Messi at his peak, or a player who can compete with it. Larson is the core of the offensive, because the threat of passing the ball gives him the most chance of breaking the goal, but he does not have a single heads-up defense. Ability, Aldridge can not allow the team to play this ball-control oppression tactics, in case of a world-class back line, it will look like a crazy lion.
Lobanovski stood up from his seat and gave instructions to the players.
Strengthening the pressure on the midfield cannot allow Millwall to comfortably control the ball.
With the emergency line in the offensive that sounded the alarm bell, the Dynamo Kiev players no longer dared to take it lightly. The frontcourt players were more aggressive, and they were more adapted to today's game and were better at playing. This led to a fierce fight between the two teams in the midfield.
The two teams lost the ball quickly, Nedvide retreated and Ying Gang had to cooperate with Barak, but the ball was stopped at the foot of the plan to pass again, but Hu Xin was cut off, Hu Xin immediately plugged the side Kosov SKY.
Kosovsky, who changed to the midfielder from the waist, touched the ball and completed the emergency stop change. He completed the inward in front of Schneider.
Schneider gritted his teeth to chase.
Today is really weird. In the face of Figo, McManaman, and Giggs, the top wing players can keep up with the rhythm of their opponents on the premise of defensive, the unknown Kosovs. Ji was able to stop in front of him in one go, his mental consciousness was keeping up, but his body was slow.
Kosovsky saw Belkovic being followed closely by Lampard, and Rebrov did not run out of space. He chose to take the ball himself, just took a step, Makrele killed, he hurriedly He took the ball to the sideline and was squeezed out of Schneider's position.
Aldridge nodded secretly on the sidelines. This was a successful team defense.
Millwall's three-waist configuration today can make up for the weakness of the player's personal play.
As for how to play Millwall's offense, it depends largely on Dynamo's offensive strategy.
If the opponent wants to rely on a small number of troops to solve the battle, as they did when winning against Barcelona, ​​then Millwall will not give the opponent such a chance, because Millwall can put down the body and can forget the identity of the Premier League champion, don’t mind Play more conservatively.
If Dynamo Kiev is determined to win at home, they must invest in the offensive.
In this way, Millwall is good at speeding up the offensive and defensive transition and finding opponents' flaws.
This is the case with football games, where risks and opportunities coexist, whether offensively or defensively.
The boring first half ended, the first half can be divided into two sections, Millwall "dominated" the ball for the first 20 minutes and the next 25 minutes. Counting, Karaze's header and Larson's missed shot are the best opportunities for both teams.
