Chapter 458: Mang Gattuso

Aldrich's requirement for defense before the game is to make the back line tighter. At the same time, Gattuso needs to have a brain fever to see the other party attacking in the midfield and rush up to sweep, always pay attention to protecting the back line.
This is to prevent the full-backs from being exploded. The full-backs are close to the center-back. The defensive line forms a whole. It is okay for the full-backs to be passed. There are teammates who can fill in in time. If the distance is widened, it may be attacked by the opponent. Break down one by one.
Nearly 30 minutes after the opening, such a defensive strategy was very successful. Even if AC Milan can pass through the midfield smoothly, but it needs to play some delicate cooperation in front of the defender line, it will be destroyed by the strict defense. If it is adjusted two more times The return of Milwall's frontcourt players can completely end AC Milan's offense.
Zaccheroni thought of the way to deal with it and gave instructions to the team. He let the team play finer before the game because the players did not have an advantage in the one-on-one attack in the last round, but Millwall today With such a defender line, the deployment before the game was defeated. Now they have one-on-one advantage for the offensive players. Instead, they pursue excessive cooperation and did not play the expected effect before the dense defense of the defender line.
His adjustment quickly received good results.
Serginho took the ball all the way forward on the left. Millwall just played an attack. Larsson didn't get the ball in the front, was successfully intercepted by Maldini, and then directly handed the ball to Sel Ginho.
Now that Millwall’s players are back, Pirlo must not be able to catch up with Serginho, so when he retraces, he is staring at the midfielder Boban who was inserted by the opponent. Gattuso also retreated and followed the defender line. Keep a distance of about three meters, beware of Albertini, Ambrosini and other players coming forward to respond.
AC Milan has been playing like this before, with a combination of passing and passing, but this time, Serginho was also unmarked on the sideline, Ferreira did not go up to grab the other side, and stayed away from Neil as long as the other party dared Come here, then make a forced snatch.
However, Serginho made easy adjustments and observations on the left side and got a pass.
Bierhoff moved to the right from Neal. Balzali reacted a step slower. The ball fell just over the head of the German. Bierhoff made a counter-angle. The ball came from the left. In the right run, he pushed to the left of the goal. His compatriot Butt did not make a save. He was also moving to Bierhof, blocking the near corner of the goal. There is no problem with this choice. The goalkeeper can be shot into the far corner. Scoring, but must not be scored in the near corner, otherwise it is a low-level performance even if it is a mistake, of course, if he did not move the position, but saved a header from Bierhof, the commentator would not think that It's a god-level save. It can only be said that Biehlhof's header is out of angle.
"AC Milan equalized the score, Bierhof header, Serginho's beautiful cross, good shot!"
Aldridge was not annoyed by the goal.
The defense chooses not to allow the opponent to infiltrate the restricted area. When the side is released, it will bear the risk of the side pass.
The ball was a bit ugly. The reason was not how beautiful the header was from Erhof, but the problem with Barzali.
In the process of Bierhof moving from Neal to Barzali, Barzali did not move in advance to jam the landing point. As long as he stood in the position and took off, Bierhof even jumped up. Catch the ball.
This has nothing to do with Neil, and the place is not with him.
The relationship with the height of the central defender is not great, Bierhof 1.91 meters, Neil 1.85 meters, Balzali 1.86 meters, the gap is really not obvious.
Losing the ball is ugly but ugly, but Aldridge is not angry and can't expect Barzal to defend as fast as Tarzan at once. Just now he lacked experience.
Take your time, 18-year-old boy, the road is still long.
After thinking about it, Aldridge called Gattuso to the front and made some adjustments.
Don't let Ferreira and Ashley Cole not shrink too much, properly increase the defense on the sidelines, and at the same time let Gattuso increase the awareness of the replacement in the penalty area.
If Millwall is counterattacked, it takes time for the offensive players to retreat. AC Milan directly hits the side pass. Bierhof is indeed a big threat. The full-back must harass him. If he does not pass, he will break through and penetrate. , Gattuso's retraction of the penalty zone is very critical, AC Milan's best chance, or the biggest hole in the Millwall defense line will become the frontline of the restricted zone, if Nedved returns to the defense speed is not enough Quickly, Pirlo alone is expected to break the food, but the loophole appears within seconds. Once Nedved returns to the penalty area to defend, AC Milan's threat of counterattack dissipates immediately.
Aldridge sweated with his hands warm in his pockets, he drew his hands and shook them, and then fell behind.
Suppression, anti-suppression, opportunities, and killing opportunities. This is the case with football games. Today, Millwall will definitely have a lot of defense problems. It depends on whether AC Milan can catch it, but AC Milan also has to solve a fatal problem: defense.
AC Milan tried a few side passes after equalizing the score, and the effect was general. When Gulli and Serginho were forced and harassed by the full-backs, the quality of the pass will definitely decline.
In the first half, the two sides drew 1:1.
Before entering the player's tunnel, the camera captured Aldridge's smile...
He walked into the locker room and waited for the players to come in one after another. Some of them were communicating with each other, while others were silent. For example, Balzali, he also knew that it was too much for him to score a header. It's ugly. I obviously have a better position, but I can't guard the other party.
Aldrich first encouraged Balzali to make him care less about losing the ball, and then he shouted to the players: "I want to tell you something, an important message that can help us win on the road."
Everyone looked at Aldridge curiously and waited for the following.
Aldridge wrote a number on the tactical board: 90.
"When the first half started, the whole game was 90 minutes. What can be done in 90 minutes? We can create more than 30 shots, we can win Leeds United 8:0, and Arsenal 5:0. When At the start of the second half, how much time is left?"
Aldridge wrote another number on the tactical board: 45.
"45 minutes. There must be no more than 90 minutes in 45 minutes. Do you think I am talking nonsense?"
Many players who do not understand Aldridge's purpose in saying these words have strange expressions.
His remarks are simple and easy to understand, and are plain facts.
"Think about it first, and think about it quietly. If you are AC Milan, will you be treated for 90 minutes and 45 minutes?
As soon as Aldridge's voice fell, the players in the locker room suddenly realized that it was like a taco.
90 minutes, you can also tell yourself to be patient.
But 45 minutes, when the time passes by one minute and one second, who can calm down?
This is a must-win game for AC Milan!
"Telling you this information is to let you better understand our tactical adjustments in the second half. Okay, now listen carefully to my tactical arrangement in the second half. I hope that today we can lock in the Champions League to advance to the top 16."
Aldridge started to arrange tasks, made some targeted adjustments, and after leaving the locker room, let the bench players warm up.
At the beginning of the second half, Aldridge found that AC Milan tried to speed up the game, they were eager to score, of course, to play faster to increase the number of opportunities.
The biggest change in Millwall's second half was that Nedvide returned to the midfield instead of staying in the midfield, and Pirlo was also back, with the formation becoming 42121 or 451.
In this way, AC Milan has become a tough battle.
Henry started a walk on the front line.
Nedved, Pirlo, and Gattuso protect the back line, and Ronaldinho and Larson are waiting for a counterattack on the sidelines.
Zaccheroni gritted his teeth on the sidelines.
Millwall began to be shameless!
AC Milan must invest more offensive players to create opportunities, and once they can't attack, they will be immediately counterattacked.
In the 57th minute of the second half, Larson took the ball all the way and dribble forward until he was five meters from Maldini before stopping and then passing the ball back to Nedved in the midfield.
Nedved observed the situation and found that AC Milan players ran back to defend, so he simply made a big long pass to find Henry on the front line.
Costa Kuta headed the ball and Ronaldinho didn't rush forward. At this time, he saw that the ball came to his side. The chest stopped and the ball was shot from inside.
Suddenly this long shot came, Abbiati flew to block the ball, but the blocked ball was followed by Henry's follow-up shot to send the ball into the gate.
The AC Milan defenders were all raising their hands to signal that Henry was offside first. Maldini ran directly to the sideline theory, but the sideline ignored it.
Aldridge saw Henry hit the ball with a supplementary shot and laughed.
To be honest, this is not the expected picture after his tactical adjustment, but the goal scored is an unexpected joy.
"The situation is very unfavorable for AC Milan. They need to score two goals in the next 30 minutes and guarantee that they will not lose the ball to hope to take a three-pointer. Millwall leads the score and can stabilize the position against AC Milan. Now."
Then AC Milan's offensive became more and more fierce, Millwall's offense was very monotonous, and the ball was handed over to Ronaldinho or Larson from the defense. The two men launched the ball forward from the side and kept the ball , Bring to the opponent's defender line and then slowly adjust, at the same time, it will allow many AC Milan players to run back from the frontcourt and participate in defense.
Zaccheroni saw a flash of fire.
Aldridge was calculating what he was doing, and he understood it after ten minutes.
This is to consume AC Milan's physical fitness.
Knowing that the other party wants to do this, but can AC Milan not be fooled?
The offensive player really does not return to defense, in case the opponent really accelerates suddenly, the midfielder plugs in later, can he guarantee that he will not lose the ball?
Especially in Nedved, Millwall moved forward slowly when he counterattacked, as long as he saw AC Milan players running back, he would not move forward, but once AC Milan players did not return to defense, who Dare to guarantee that this slow Czech will not suddenly break out and start running like a lion?
Aldrich figured everything out, but there were too many uncertainties on the football pitch.
In the 71st minute, AC Milan made a big pass in the backcourt. Bierhoff held Niel back and flew the header. Shevchenko headered the ball and pushed it into Millwall's goal.
Aldridge covered his eyes with one hand for the goal.
Shevchenko's header is very beautiful.
But it was Gattuso who could not bear to look directly at Aldridge.
Bierhoff leaned back against Neal, back to goal, what was Gattuso's choice?
Fight for the top!
He might think that from the front and Neal from the back, the two could grab each other by holding Bierhof one after the other.
After hiding his face, Aldrich shouted back to Janson: "After going back, let Gattuso see the process just ten times, no, one hundred times!"
Don't fuck!
Gattuso is 1.74 meters taller than Erhoff. He is close to 20 cm. Going to grab a header with him?
Gattuso should go to Shevchenko to prevent running position, or predict Bierhof's choice, the opponent's back to the goal, is it really a header after the header?
Gattuso can do whatever it takes to defend. Aldridge will not be angry after losing the ball, but he has made a choice that makes Aldridge speechless.
San Siro was overwhelmed by Shevchenko's goal. The audience looked forward to the reversal of the Red and Black Legions. Time, some are!
