Chapter 303: Rookie and Silver Fox

Turin, Alpi Stadium.
There is a clear difference between this course and that of England, because in addition to the regular football field, there are track and field tracks, which allows the spectator stand to be far away from the court for easy management, but it cannot be made like the English stadium stand. Crazy fans cheer the momentum.
The much-anticipated UEFA Champions League quarter-final round 2 is about to start. The players on both sides are already waiting to play in the player channel. Aldrich stands on the sidelines. He has previously communicated with Lippi. Both of them said: no matter who can Advance to the semifinals, I hope the other party can win the final championship!
This is naturally a polite rhetoric. In fact, the two of them have exactly the same idea: you fall, I fight for the championship!
This stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, seems to have a high occupancy rate today, close to full, but some places can still see an empty seat.
Originally, there were not many urban populations in Turin. Even the giants such as Juventus, the attendance rate still did not reach a hot ratio. However, today is the European Champions League game, there is no reason to have empty seats.
Aldrich looked around the stadium. Italian fans were no less enthusiastic about football than fans of any country in the world. They shouted for the team and laid out huge banners to deter their opponents. Loud slogans and loud singing were all expressions. The love of the team and the oppression of the opponent.
Aldridge looked around and frowned.
Where are the visiting fans?
What about Millwall fans?
The expedition away cheering with the team, this is a measure of the loyalty of a fan, at least in England, if you do not follow the team to watch the away game, and then brag about your loyalty to the team, this will be ridiculed among the fan community With sarcasm.
No one else knows that before Aldridge led the team to Turin, Millwall had at least three large fan organizations that sent cheering letters to the club, among which he vowed that he would serve Mill at the Alpi Stadium. Wall cheer to cheer and make the players more fighting on the road.
But now at Alpi Stadium, Aldridge can hardly see a large slogan or banner related to Millwall. Only a few of the banners have the emblem of the mad lion team, so that people are far from knowing that it is Milwaukee. Fans.
Those fans have no reason to deceive themselves, this is not a child's play, in the matter of loyalty to the club, many fans regard it as dignity.
In the end what happened?
Where did the missing Millwall fans go?
As the players from both sides lined up, the Champions League theme song also echoed in the Alpi stadium.
"Juventus and Millwall in the second round of the Champions League quarter-final are about to start. Both teams are currently in a good state in the league. The score of the last confrontation was 2:1. Millwall was in front of the final. Lost the ball so that they only got an advantage of one ball and let Juventus score a guest goal. For this game, Juventus must score, but Millwall may fall into a passive, in the Serie A championship At home, Millwall's control of the game will be greatly reduced. Lippi and Hall's second match will test the ability of the two coaches on the spot. When the game starts, the situation is different every minute. "
"The starting list of the two teams is no different from the previous one. Millwall's formation changed from 433 in the previous game to 4231, and Juventus followed the 4312 in the previous game. The two teams are ready to kick off after shaking hands with each other. Now."
When the referee whistled, the game officially started, and Millwall contracted the defense line as soon as he came up.
Juventus's state after opening today is very different from the previous one. The last time they were expeditioned, the situation was right and the people were not all kinds of things. Today, the reverse is the case. On the court, naturally enter the state faster.
Davis, Deschamps, Conte, these three offensive and defensive midfielders provide fire support behind Zidane to help Zidane share the pressure of organizing the offense and also use it for the first time when defending Actively fighting to contain Millwall's counterattack, Inzaghi and Piero also showed a very good competitive state today. Just after the opening, Zidane passed the header in front of Pirlo and Piero ran diagonally. Stopping the ball with the chest and waiting for Elgra to block was a volley. The ball flew to the lower right corner of the Millwall goal with a strong rotation. Fortunately, Bout was fully prepared and saved the ball bravely.
Juventus took a corner kick and the ball was released in the penalty area. Deschamp who followed up passed the ball straight into the penalty area. Inzaghi directly volleyed the ball, but it was a pity.
As soon as the opening began, Juventus put tremendous pressure on Millwall.
When faced with this situation, the players also know what to do.
They will stabilize first, slow down the opponent's rhythm, and kill the opponent's exuberant state, but this set is a bit young for Juventus who can fight and grab.
Piero and Inzaghi consciously stuck between the defender and the full-back, Zidane also held between Pirlo and Makelele, which created a pressure to force Millwall to dare not frequently in the backcourt To stumble, you must attack forward!
Lippi apparently carefully studied Millwall's style of play, playing 4231 away, the two wing is the focus, counterattack Larson and Shevchenko make a fuss on the wing.
Both of them have extraordinary abilities, but they definitely haven't reached a height that can sharpen Juventus' back defense. In the Serie A stadium where masters gather, Juventus' back defense is the most stable, that is after Thousands of hammers are cast after hard work, and no one can cast wild in front of them.
However, Larson and Shevchenko are not the kind of wingers who hold the ball and stick to one side to "over die". In the fast forward, the side is a series of excessive coordinating roles, reaching the combination of the side and the middle, using the pass Cut the running position and tear open the opponent's defense line.
Because of this, when Nedved was counter-attacked by at least two of the other three midfielders, neither Larson nor Shevchenko could connect to the center, and Pirlo was also consciously blocked by Zidane Following the route, Larson and Shevchenko fell into a one-on-one confrontation with the opponent's extremely capable full-back, and the offense was in vain.
Millwall's full-back was still in the rear and they didn't move. They always led the score. Even in counterattacks, the overall formation is still based on solid defense in the offense to avoid counterattacks.
Juventus's advantage is very obvious, the offense hit the wind and water, just one goal away.
The confidence advantage established by Millwall in the first round of playing Juventus is fading little by little, and the crazy lion generals are really beginning to realize the horror of this Serie A champion.
In addition to the twin stars on the front line, Zidanega's configuration of the three midfielders behind them gives them a huge advantage in the midfield, the transfer and coordination are very smooth, and they can be relaxed in offense and defense.
Aldridge constantly reminded players to pay attention to the defensive formation on the sidelines to avoid being penetrated by the opponent in the middle.
He still chose Pirlo as a starter today. He didn't choose Barak. The defensive hardness naturally declined, but he needed Pirlo's organization when he was transferred from defense to offense.
Playing a team of Juventus level, even if the opponent has flaws, it is only a fleeting moment. Whether you can seize this moment will test the ability of the team commander. At this point, Austria Derich believes in Pirlo even more. This is undoubtedly. The kind of scalpel-like pass, the most reasonable threat to pass, Pirlo is stronger than Barak.
Silver Fox Lippi's suit and leather look smart and handsome today. He sits on the coach's bench like the first round of the game, and he also holds a cigar, like a spectator leisurely enjoying the game.
Compared with Aldridge, who uses the body language to command the team from time to time on the sidelines, the visual contrast between the two is great, and there is a movement.
Aldridge is like a rookie in fear, Lippi is even more clever.
Excluding the factors of the two's style of command, if he gives Aldrich Juventus the group of people, he will not be on the sidelines and will sit down comfortably.
This group of people is too experienced, and the team is already mature. There is no need for the coach to remind or make any changes on the sidelines. If the Millwall players have been playing the mad lion, Aldridge can reach one in three years. The state of "rulelessness", because the players have gone to the north and fought in various battles, the mentality, skills and tactics, adaptability on the field, self-adjustment, etc. will reach their peak, and the work of the head coach will also change accordingly It is to maintain the peak state of the team, instead of expecting them to make greater improvements and progress. Basically, players are over 23 years old, and the goal is to increase the ball by experience and experience. That is to maintain and adjust the physical and competitive state.
Millwall couldn't control the pace of the game today, they wanted to "slow down and kick", but Juventus did not give them the opportunity to force Millwall to attack with a reasonable frontcourt position, but once attacked, no Millwall's frontcourt offensive team, who dare to make a big push, was cut into pieces by opponents with experience. Juventus' successful defense will quickly launch a new wave of offense and maintain the pace of the game at a faster rate. on.
The crazy lion attack was not ideal, but the defense was very desperate. After gradually adapting to the rhythm, Juventus' stormy attack also began to reduce its power.
As long as he didn't concede a goal, Aldridge didn't think it was necessary to change anything.
Millwall's offensive play was not ideal, mainly because the number of offenses was too small, and four people actually hit the frontcourt. Under the premise that the Juventus players are in better shape, four people must defeat the opponent's chain of at least seven people. Defensive line, then it requires a shocking personal play!
Hold on first, hold on to the defense, wait slowly, don't worry, the time is passing by one minute and one second, and the situation is becoming more and more disadvantageous for Juventus.
Aldridge did not believe that Juventus could always sit down. The force they invested in the attack was about six or seven people, and the four defenders did not move. If it was not based on experience and personal superpowers and home profit, Juventus Tus couldn't shake Millwall's defense at all.
After playing the game for half an hour, Aldridge also became quiet and watched the game with his hands on the sidelines.
The two teams have entered a delicate balance, Juventus' advantage has also been drawn closer by Millwall. If they do not invest more troops in the offense, Millwall will become more and more experienced in defense. Say, even if it takes 90 minutes, it's no problem.
The cheering of Alpi Stadium was shocking. Fans were also setting off fireworks in the stands, and smoke was billowing from a certain stand, but this failed to attract the attention of the players of the two teams.
This powerful dialogue is still fierce and not exciting enough, because neither side will give the other a great opportunity, and some players want to solve the battle by individual combat. Piero and Larson have tried, but in the end The result was that the opponent was disturbed by the attack, but gave the opponent more confidence.
In the first half, the two sides shook hands and made peace and walked into the locker room.
