"After Bayern Munich scored a goal, the two sides entered a balanced state. Once the offensive advances to the midfield, they will be blocked by the opponent's tight defense. The first half of the game is about to end. Bayern Munich and Millwall The score is 1:1 and neither side scored away."
Aldridge is troubled by the situation today.
He didn't expect the team to lose the ball, but he never expected to be scored by his opponent in the opening less than 10 minutes.
The two teams entered a mutually restricted rhythm, which was more intense and conservative than the first round of confrontation, and even the chance of a long shot rarely gave each other.
Everyone is afraid!
Especially for Bayern Munich, if Millwall scored an away goal, they would have to score two more goals, which would be too difficult.
In fact, Millwall has been passive.
Dilemma.
The opposing team does not invest more troops in attacking, nor dare to take it lightly.
Even if Millwall is conservative to draw the snake out of the hole, Bayern Munich is not fooled.
At the end of the first half, Aldridge turned into the player's tunnel.
The question before him is actually the same as Heathfield.
Only by scoring again can the opponent be eliminated within the regular time.
So Millwall alone attacked the group with five players in the frontcourt, and Pirlo did not dare to risk it. The actual players on the front line were four players.
Bayern Munich only rely on Elber, Yankel, Basler, and Effingberg running around the field, these four people are also difficult to make in front of the Millwall line.
To score a goal, we must create a better chance. In today's confrontation situation, we must invest more offensive forces.
Can invest in offensive forces, then the defense will definitely be weakened.
Who moves first?
Aldrich was so worried that he bowed his head and walked forward, almost hitting the wall with his head.
He was worried that this was Heathfield's enticement.
If Millwall is attacking away, the two backs can provide support in the backcourt. Once the back defender is attacked and counterattacked, the defense of the defense is very obvious.
It's not yet time for desperation. When it's time to take a risk, Aldridge can save his life, but the total score is a draw. Millwall hasn't reached the cliff yet.
In the locker room, the players are sweating and fighting away, and their physical energy is consumed quickly.
Ronaldinho was very depressed today. When he met Bayern Munich, he was always suppressed to death. In the last confrontation, he had no highlights except for a few long-range shots. The one-to-one success rate fell linearly compared to the Premier League. , Even in today’s first half, the success rate is 0!
Babel used his experience and the experience of the last confrontation to completely freeze Ronaldinho today.
Aldridge has nothing to adjust to tactics. If it was last year’s squad, he can make the team play a bit more tedious, but the current offensive system is to rely on a small range of cooperation. If he lets the team take back some more, maybe the offense Just relying on individual soldiers to fight, it would be self-defeating.
He stood in the middle of the dressing room, calmly speaking slowly.
"European Champions Cup, the highest honor of European clubs, all teams, whether grassroots teams or big clubs, have longed for this championship. We won the championship last year, when we encountered many difficulties, But through willpower and faith, we finally won the championship. I don’t want you to think that the championship will come to us actively, every club will give everything to fight for the championship, we are, Bayern Munich too. Today’s game, you are present I can experience the power of Bayern Munich first, what should we do? First, calm down and stay focused. Secondly, you can’t let yourself down in a minute and a second. I hope to see you in the second half Demonstrate the qualities I demand, because I’m sure that players of Bayern Munich, unless they break their legs, they will not stop the pace of running, and will not stop the pursuit of victory. If you want to defeat them, you must be in technical and tactical Beat them in a contest outside!"
At this level of competition, there is no one who has a clear advantage on the technical and tactical level. If you want to win, you must defeat the opponent in the spiritual level of the competition.
Most of the players present have deep experience.
Like the Juventus lore last season, it was the power of the team's faith that paid off at the last minute.
The defeat of Monaco to advance to the final is a strategic mistake made by Monaco after getting a good result in the first round. If Monaco can play a little conservatively like Bayern Munich at home, the defense does not leak. What is the final result, who do not know either.
"Guys, come on in the second half, we fight, we all want to go to the Camp Nou, Bayern Munich also thinks that they won the championship more than 20 years ago, they may be more hungry, but we will tell them by action, we Have a stronger determination to defend!"
Southgate stood up to inspire the team. Everyone nodded, and their mental outlook was refreshed, as if the fatigue in the first half disappeared.
Aldridge observed Bayern Munich on the sidelines in the second half.
If there is any change, then Bayern Munich's tactical discipline becomes stronger, they are not anxious, and they are steadily frightening.
Although Bayern Munich Club has been away from the Champions League for more than 20 years, most of their players have international honours. They are experienced and calm, and will not be as imbalanced as Monaco for quick gains and short-term gains.
"This is a game where the players on both sides are more stable and who makes the mistake first. To be honest, this game is less exciting than the first round. The two teams played for an hour and the combined shot It’s less than 10 times. They put more energy on how to limit their opponents. This is understandable. Millwall has Henry, Larson, Nedved, Ronaldinho and other offenses. A sharp weapon, Bayern Munich also has such terrible players as Elber, Yankel, Basler, and Effenberg. They are afraid of being partially torn apart by the opponent, thus weakening the offensive investment At the same time, this is also the battle between Hall and Heathfield on the field, the two are competing for endurance and mentality, see who is more lethargic, who can't help making adjustments first, adjust the team at this time, no doubt it will be Gambling may increase the probability of victory, but it also increases the risk of failure."
The game time passed by one minute and one second, Aldridge still stood on the sidelines, he paced back and forth without anxiety, that would affect the players.
What medicine does Bayern Munich sell in the gourd?
In the opening blitz, the effect was received and the game was brought back to the starting point.
But next, he has been playing defensive counterattacks, the offensive does not speed up, relying on individual soldiers, the cooperation between two or three players can't penetrate the Millwall defense line, and Millwall passively attacks because the opponent's defense is stable. Lack of room to move forward, especially Mattus played wonderfully. The match between the offensive player of the one-on-one Millwall and the Bayern Munich defensive player was half a catty, but there was one more Mattus to disrupt the game. He was always able to kill offenses halfway, causing Millwall to repeatedly fail.
But what about this?
How did Bayern Munich advance to the final?
Aldridge didn't guess Heathfield's calculation until the end of the regular time of 90 minutes.
"At the end of the 90-minute game, Bayern Munich and Millwall have a total score of 1:1 and will enter overtime."
In the first half of overtime, Millwall and Bayern Munich were still inseparable. The physical fitness of both players has reached the limit, but neither side has made substitutions.
Dare not to change, fearing that the players who are replaced cannot enter the game for the first time, then there will be loopholes in the defense area.
When the second half of overtime started, Aldridge's eyes suddenly became fierce.
Bayern Munich suddenly accelerated, pulling up a mad attack!
With bilateral defenders, midfielder Effenberg, Basler plus Matteus, and strikers, Bayern Munich's attacking force has nearly doubled!
Aldridge gritted his teeth.
Does Bayern Munich really want to maximize the benefits of home? !
In the first half of the first half, they entered the game faster and scored goals.
After playing the game for 105 minutes, Millwall's physical energy consumption on the road is definitely more serious than the opponent. Although they are almost reaching the limit, the German chariot is to grind his teeth and play a period of oppressive attack to destroy Millwall!
Bayern Munich lost in the first round and they have a clear lead in the league. They have plenty of time to prepare for the second round at home and should be physically ahead of Millwall.
But did Millwall despise it?
Against Manchester United and Derbyshire, Aldridge came on the bench, considering that this game may enter overtime, giving players a short period of rest and physical preparation.
Lizarazu made a diagonal pass to the penalty area. Yankel was defeated by Materazzi in the header. After the header was cleared, Basler took the ball in the periphery and pushed it to Effenberg. The latter made a long shot, but Bout was well selected, and the ball was swept into the arms.
After the successful save, Bout immediately got up and strode forward, throwing the ball at the edge of the penalty area and throwing the ball directly to the sideline near the center line.
Larsson rushed to get the ball, Lizarazu quickly back, but the speed is obviously not faster than Larsson.
Larsson drove the ball forward along the side road, quickly matched with Henry of the middle road 2 over 1 kick wall, then hit the bottom of the penalty area and then knocked back to the middle road, Nedved shot the ball with a kick, the ball Coufer stretched his leg out of the bottom line.
Nedved looked regretful.
If you stop abruptly, you may be able to shake off Koufor's defense, or shoot or pass to become better.
He was annoyed that he failed to score the ball.
"Wow, after the game entered the second half of overtime, the situation changed suddenly, and the two teams each made a threatening shot in 20 seconds."
Heathfield also stood up and walked to the sidelines, his face dignified.
It was completely unexpected that Millwall players could still run so fast after 110 minutes of play!
In the attack just now, Larson, Henry, Nedved, Ronaldinho all rushed up, and after a long sprint, Bayern Munich's defenders were thrown away.
Estimated wrong!
Of course, the schedule of the Premier League was denser than that of the Bundesliga, and there were more games. The physical training of these players is no problem. Although it has reached the limit, when it is time to rush, it is no problem to grind your teeth.
Aldrich hesitated on the sidelines whether to replace him.
Pirlo couldn't run anymore, just after he chased Effenberg and failed to defend the opponent's long shot, even he couldn't even make the harassing action.
However, considering that a penalty kick might be taken after less than 10 minutes, Aldridge could not replace him.
After experiencing the scene of almost losing the ball just now, Bayern Munich, although it still increased its offensive force, did not dare to press it.
In the last 5 minutes, the two teams had consecutive player cramps and the game was frequently interrupted.
Seeing it, Aldridge used substitutions to delay time and prepare for a penalty shootout.
Lampard replaced Makelele as a penalty candidate and Mills replaced Schneider with a calf cramp.
