Chapter 337: Waiting for touchstone

Before the end of the first half, the score was not rewritten, the two teams entered the locker room.
During the intermission, Aldridge did not make too many adjustments, but only demanded a more level of attack.
There is nothing defensive to mention. In the first half, the opponent did not even have a shot. Millwall completely suppressed the opponent on the road.
At the beginning of the second half, Millwall still had the advantage on the field. Xie strengthened his marking and harassment on Ronaldinho on Wednesday. Ronaldinho still suffered a bit from the physical side, and he was disadvantaged in the confrontation, especially when the opponent unreasonably used his body to collide. To undermine Millwall's attack.
After discovering this situation, Nedved took the initiative to walk over and whisper to Ronaldinho.
The two reversed their roles in the first half. Nedved returned to the role of the Indian midfielder, allowing Ronaldinho to return to the winger and take less of the ball organization. Once he moves forward, it directly threatens the opponent's goal. There will be scruples about fouls.
In the case where the front offensive players are closely marked, Millwall's full-backs came forward to become the focus of the game, plus Pirlo is more mature than last season, and the control rhythm has reached a qualitative level. Millwall’s offensive now looks like he didn’t want the storms of the previous two years, but through continuous control of the scene, even if the threat of the offense is resolved by the opponent, he can launch two or three attacks in a row, constantly hitting the opponent’s defense. To challenge the other party's nerves, at this rhythm, Xie quickly couldn't withstand it on Wednesday.
Schneider is now in the full-back position, and when he comes forward to assist, he has reached the point of perfection.
His skillful and delicate footwork combined with efficiency-oriented kicks, he kicked the wind on the right, and continued to threaten the right in the second half.
In the 63rd minute, Schneider passed the opponent's full back and knocked back to the top of the penalty area. Nedved deliberately missed the ball. Pirlo followed up and seemed to shoot, forcing Xie Wednesday's back line pressure When he came up to block him, the audience was stunned. Pirlo gently pushed the ball forward. When Nedvide rushed forward when the ball passed, it happened to pass the entire defense of the opponent. The ball, Come on schedule!
But this ball is a bit high, Nedved must jump up and header the ball, otherwise the goalkeeper will certainly not give the ball a chance to readjust Nedved.
Nedved faced the goal and the ball went towards the goal again. He didn't work well, so he jumped and headed for the ferry, giving Larson who followed up on the right and was completely unmarked.
Larson didn't wait for the ball to land, it was a volley shot!
The ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball, and the goalkeeper looked at the ball with sigh and had no time to react.
Larsson and Nedved embraced tightly after the goal!
"This goal was brilliant! Schneider's knocking back on the top of the penalty area was not surprising. It was not surprising that Nedvide didn't kick the ball when the player blocked the angle in front, but he missed the ball. , We all thought that Pirlo, who followed up, would have a long shot, but Pirlo used a shocking four-pass pick to pass Xie Wednesday through the entire line of defense. The most amazing thing is that Nedved clearly turned his back. Pirlo, he directly pushed forward after missing the ball. It seems that long eyes behind his head knew that Pirlo would pass the ball to him. When facing the goalkeeper one-on-one, Nedved chose to give the ball a more confident Larsson, the Swedish super shooter, received a big gift and blasted the ball into Xie Wednesday's gate with a violent volley! Millwall led Xie Wednesday 2:0!"
Aldridge sat and nodded, but he still had some regrets in his heart. Ronaldinho and Fanny did not participate in the whole process of scoring, and it was still completed by the mainstay players in the team.
However, this kind of thing can't be rushed. When there are too many matches, as long as the training is done, it will naturally come to fruition.
When the game came to the 70th minute, Millwall made a substitution.
Aldridge replaced Nedved with Klose, and replaced Larson with VanderMead.
The formation changed to 442.
"It seems that Hall put his mind on the next game after leading by two goals, allowing Nedved and Larson to rest and prepare for a focus battle with Manchester United a week later."
As the narrator speculated, Aldridge did let the two main players take a break. After a week, they will face Manchester United at home.
From 433 to 442, the formation has become balanced, Millwall can play away, the full-backs do not have to go straight up and down, the offense is driven by two full-backs.
Ronaldinho and Van der Meide are on one side, delivering shells to Klose and Van Ni on the forward.
With two in hand, Ronaldinho began to let go of his courage to play, and he didn't treat his opponent as a person on the sidelines. The ball played a fancy technique under his feet.
Aldrich allows Ronaldinho to play like this, but there is a premise that Ronaldinho must provide firepower for his teammates.
When Ronaldinho attracted two defensive players on the left, he stepped on a bicycle and quickly passed the ball back to the middle. Because he was closely guarded, the opponent's defense in other positions would be free. Pirlo's skill after receiving the ball Reapply, then divide the ball to the right.
Van der Mede is much stronger than when he first came to the team last year, and his foot skills also honed the characteristics of concise efficiency. He received the ball while stopping and took it directly over the opponent's full-back. After breaking through the bottom, a high ball was passed. Klose grabbed a spot in front of the goal, jumped high and headed the ball, the ball hit the net.
"3:0, does anyone doubt that Millwall's strength has declined? Andy, have you found that Millwall's current style of play has become more abundant?"
"Martin, you are right, Millwall is more varied than before. This change comes from Ronaldinho, who can attract the attention of two three defensive players on one side. And to ensure that the ball is not lost, after he passes the ball to his teammates, the opponent's defense will have a loophole, plus today's debut striker Klose, he makes Millwall's passing ball more threatening, VanderMead also has a place."
Klose ran to the sidelines after scoring a front flip to celebrate, this is his first goal in the professional league, of course, it is worth celebrating.
Aldridge then put Lampard on for Pirlo and then sat quietly.
Jenson laughed next to him: "It seems that we have a tradition where the striker can score in his first show. Shevchenko was also on the bench at the time, and Klose has now scored."
"Oh, this is a good tradition, and I hope to continue to carry forward."
Aldridge replied with a smile.
Before the end of the game, Klose controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and used his body to carry the opponent's harassment. Before being sacked, he gave the ball to Lampard who inserted it later. The latter made a long shot and scored the score. Locked in 4:0.
"Klose, seeing his performance on the bench less than 20 minutes today, we understand why Millwall dared to sell the two main forwards in the summer, and Hall also dared to release the rhetoric of the league championship. They lack A striker? No no, do they lack good strikers? Look at Klose, one pass and one shot is not enough to describe his contribution to the team, if not Fanny wasted two brilliant shots from Klose Perhaps, Klose can play an assist hat trick, and he can still score. I remember Trezeguet’s first game in the Premier League three years ago. It was definitely not as good as Klose."
At the end of the game, Aldridge looked unhappily shaking hands with the opponent coach, and then entered the player channel.
It's no surprise that the Millwall League won the first game away.
Facing Xie Wednesday's team at this level, victory, victory, are not convincing enough, especially when Millwall can easily master the rhythm of the game on the field, is there any problem with their defense, which is completely invisible from this game , Unable to get results.
The real touchstone is the next round at home against Manchester United.
After the game, Aldridge walked into the locker room to congratulate Klose, and then hurried to the interview in the mixed area before returning to London.
Millwall was ranked first in the standings with a 4-0 away victory in the first round of the league on Wednesday.
The long-awaited new season of the Premier League has begun, and the result of the first round of the league is disappointing.
Five of the ten games are tied, four of which are 0:0.
The most exciting game was when Manchester United were almost killed by Martin O’Neal’s team at Old Trafford. The final result was 2:2. Martin O’Neal claimed to be disappointed with the result in an interview after the game. He thought Lecce The city has a chance to take away the victory.
The league has just begun, and the standings have no meaning.
During the preparation for the match with Manchester United, Aldridge specially arranged a small range of cooperation between Ronaldinho and Nedved during the offensive and defensive exercises.
Before the start of the season, Aldridge regarded Manchester United as the biggest competitor in the new season league, so when the two teams will talk directly in the second round, the press conference on the day before the game was very lively.
"What do you think about Manchester United losing to Leicester City at home? Do you still think Manchester United is Millwall's biggest competitor?"
The reporters' argument has begun to look down on Manchester United.
Aldridge said lightly: "Manchester United has underestimated the enemy. They did not correctly recognize the strength of Leicester City in the new season. If you don't pay enough attention to your opponent, then you have to accept the punishment. Millwall will not make mistakes. Manchester United The result of the last round of the game will not change the fact that Manchester United is strong. If I think Manchester United cannot win even Leicester City, it means that Manchester United is weak. Then this is a very stupid idea, and Will have a negative impact on the team."
"This is your fourth season with Ferguson. In the first two years, Millwall sold important players such as Solskjaer and Stam to Manchester United. This summer, Ferguson is said to be interested in acquiring Van Nistelro. Yi, have you talked about this?"
The transfer window hasn't been closed, everything can happen.
Klose has also attracted the attention of many teams.
Does Manchester United want Millwall players?
Of course I think, and more than one.
Faced with this problem, Aldridge said bluntly: "My players are being pursued by other clubs. This is a normal thing, because they are very good. Millwall used to sell the players before, but it is a must. After winning the Champions League, the attractiveness of other clubs is declining, and my players prefer to stay in Millwall, where they can achieve greater achievements, and I trust each other."
"Although you say that, Millwall still let go of a lot of important first-team players in the summer."
"That's different. Some players' departure is not a competitive reason. I'm sure their departure will not cause a heavy blow to the team."
Aldrich’s speech today showed a gesture to the outside world.
Even if Millwall sells players, they will only be players they can let go.
For the main players like Capdevila, Trezeguet, Shevchenko and Elgra, there are suitable replacements in the Millwall team, and there will be no personnel faults caused by the players leaving.
As for the absolute main player, even if Aldridge sells, he will not choose to sell to Manchester United.
Ferguson buys Larson every year, and Aldridge is too lazy to return to him now.
