Chapter 476: Shut up


In the summer of 1994 when Aldridge took over Millwall, his arrival was a farce that was not optimistic at the time, but it turned out that he changed Millwall’s fate. At the same time, another changed the club’s fate. The character also joined the Serie A club at the same time. This man's name is Zeman, and he is the one who is now in Serie A. The blue eagle Lazio.
Now many fans in Europe will say that Millwall’s offensive football is a mess, but Serie A neutral fans or Blue Eagles fans will never agree. When the mad lion is still in the Premier League, the Blue Eagles led by Zeman to 433 Offensive football has emerged in Serie A. With the status of Serie A in Europe at that time, its influence and the overall style of Serie A, it is not that there are teams that dare to play offensive football, but it is too difficult to play a remarkable record. Man did this, bringing Lazio into the seven sister members of the "Little World Cup".
5:1 Naples, 4:0 AC Milan, 8:2 Florence, 4:1 Inter Milan, 4:0 Genoa and other big score results appeared in the same season, how can such an offensive football not make people feel complacent?
Although Lazio failed to win the league championship in the 94-95 season, but scored 9 more league goals than the champion Juventus, this data is commendable, the offensive firepower crowns the Serie A, especially in the overall defense and league competition. The team has only 18 teams in the background.
Since then, Lazio has continued the style of offensive football under the leadership of Zeman, but it is not difficult for the head coach to attack. The offense and defense are integrated. The hidden defensive risks behind offensive football are year-on-year growth As a result, Lazio's game was in disintegration. He often saw big scores, but he was often disgraced by Italy's old players. The important factor for missing the trophy was that their game either won or lost, and there were very few draws.
It wasn't until Zeman's get out of class that Lazio's magical and offensive football charm began to decline greatly, and then after the Swedish Eriksen took over, the Blue Eagles opened a new era.
In the summer of 1998, Lazio was recognized as one of the four favorites to win the championship before the start of the new season in Serie A. However, they are not giants and lack the championship temperament after all, just as Eriksson took over the first season, it can be as powerful as Hong has frequently scored a winning streak and ended up with a six-game losing streak at the end of the season. Last season, Lazio was only one step away from the Serie A champion. In the penultimate round of the league, he gave the champion to AC Milan. Poor runner-up, the most exciting part of this story is not the amazing 7-game winning streak reversal at the end of AC Milan season, nor Lazio’s 4 wins and 1 draw but was ruined in that draw, but in the final sprint, Rome In the city derby, Lazio was strongly attacked by Rome led by Zeman!
Last season, Lazio only had the last European Cup Winners' Cup as a consolation, filling in the shortcomings of the league champion at the last moment.
Lazio's strong rise is directly related to the boss's burning money at all costs, and this phenomenon has become very common in Serie A. There are many gambling people. Seeing there are winners, other people are tempted to understand.
"We unfortunately only got a draw at home. We have a better chance than Millwall in the whole game. We are not afraid of Millwall, even though they have just created a new record of the five major European league games."
"They are the Premier League team. We are the Serie A team. It is unfair to compare domestic achievements. It is more difficult to win the championship trophy in Serie A than the Premier League. The competitiveness is not on the same level."
"Hall is an excellent coach, but he is not invincible. We have ambitions for the Champions League. If we can win at Wembley, it will be a good spiritual inspiration for Lazio, even if Millwall is in Europe. Not lost in London."
...
Eriksson talked a lot before the fifth game of the second stage of the Champions League group stage.
Maybe he wanted to disturb Millwall, for example, to make Aldridge lose his calmness.
Who knows?
In short, adding fuel and vinegar to Fleet Street put the Swedish remarks in front of Audridge as a provocation.
Aldridge did not respond, and left the press conference calmly.
In the group standings, Millwall has climbed to the first place in the group with 8 points.
Lazio lost to Feyenoord in the last round and still only has 7 points.
Bordeaux scored 4 points and Feyenoord scored 3 points.
The situation of Millwall's qualifying situation has undergone a subversive reversal after only one game. Now, as long as they do not lose in the last two games, they will steadily advance to the top 8.
At this time, Aldridge could not lie against an Italian team coach, wasting his lips and wasting time.
Aldridge did not respond, but Fleet Street did not want to let this gimmick go.
So, the silence of the mad lion commander turned into a silent contempt.
Eriksson or Lazio.
You are not qualified to spread wild in front of the mad lion!
The sky is beautiful, the night sky is clear on the day of the game, and the temperature is also very suitable for the players.
Aldrich heard the fans of the mad lions in the stands pinching against the fans of the Blue Eagles when they entered the stadium. The fans of the mad lions ridiculed each other in the arrangement of songs. The few Blue Eagles fans also responded with the Italian national curse.
Aldrich put his hands in the pockets of his coat and walked straight to the coach seat. It looked like the team's current situation: sit back and relax.
In the last two games, today I will play Lazio at home, and finally go to the Netherlands to play Feyenoord. If Feyenoord has a draw, Millwall will get a promotion regardless of the result of the game because they and Bordeaux Has an advantage in the engagement record.
Players from both sides started to enter the field, and the commentators introduced the starting list of both sides in turn.
Millwall is at full strength and the staff is in order.
Lazio is also strong.
Goalkeeper: Machegiani
Defenders: Pancaro, Mihailovich, Nesta, Favalli.
Midfielders: Consicao, Belon, Simone, Winter.
Forwards: Inzaghi, Salas.
There is only one change in this lineup compared to the original history, that is, the left avant-garde, which was originally where Nedved should appear, and now is Dutch Winter.
Winter returned to Lazio in the summer of 1998 and continued to play for the Blue Hawks. His original club status in Lazio was no less than that of Nedved. He was one of the important members of Zeman who led Lazio to play offensive football.
Simone was the one who played against Millwall last year at Inter Milan, and the one who fell to the ground after being violated by Beckham, defensive fighter.
Lazio is listed as the Serie A champion hot team is guaranteed, the wizard Bello, the Portuguese golden generation representative Consicao, world-class center defender Nesta and other well-known figures in international football, and other such as Pancaro, Inzaghi, Salas, Favali and others are all well-known in European football.
"At the beginning of the game, Millwall kicked off first. After the kickoff, we saw that Millwall pushed the game faster and the formation was also pushed forward. It seems that Hall’s tactical choice in this game is to use a pressurized attack. Fuck, huh, that’s right, football is kicked out of the field, but not from the mouth. What about Eriksson’s ambitious long talk before the game? After 90 minutes of playing, there is plenty of time to come back Chat."
Millwall's qualifying situation is stable, but can't be taken lightly. In case of a loss of the ball, Bordeaux and Feyenoord will win and lose, and the situation will be reversed immediately.
Combat at home, aggressive offensive, reasonable.
What's more, Aldridge is targeted.
Fight fast today and bring down Lazio.
Simone is really strong in defensive ability, and he still shows his sticky skills today. If he sticks to him, basically this player will be frozen.
But Millwall had so many offensive players in the frontcourt. Lazio could hold one or two and wanted to limit them all. That was a fool's dream.
In the first half of the game, Lazio passively defended and kept up with the rhythm, but the scene was extremely ugly. Eriksson stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines with his hands on his hips.
Lazio, he can't even organize a decent attack!
Millwall's high-pressure forced tactics, the offensive players counter-robbed on the spot, leaving the opponent very little time to organize the attack.
The midfield organizer Belon has only 3 successful attempts in 8 catches, 3 failed attempts to get the ball, 3 was directly intercepted by Pirlo in advance, 2 was a pass error by teammates, and after 3 successful picks, But was directly destroyed by Pirlo and Nedved after defensive.
Concecao and Winter are very old, 33-34 years of age experience is enough, can not withstand the impact of Zambrotta and Schneider in the year of fighting, and there is also a pull Combining the back defense of Rosin and Ronaldinho, compressed in the midfield area, Millwall's extremely high tactical literacy cut the Lazio formation into pieces while defending, and the Lazio player who received the ball will fall into less than 3 seconds In isolation, the one-on-one breakthrough defeated the battle, and the entire offensive was declared over.
In the 26th minute, Simone went straight to the frontcourt in the backcourt. He had experience playing against Millwall in Inter Milan. Seeing the paralysis of the midfield, he simply took a chance.
Unexpectedly, his long pass almost formed an assist.
Inzaghi saw off Matellaz and the goalkeeper one-on-one, but Bout had already prepared and ran out of the penalty area to header the ball in advance to the fellow Schneider on the wing.
Under the high-pressure forced tactics, the goalkeeper must not just stay in front of the goal, must expand the defensive area, become a free man, can become a pass receiving point, and can also act as a scavenger. If he dies before the goal, he will become a team Fatal loopholes in tactical system.
Aldrich was very satisfied with what Bout did.
Gradually, Millwall's advantage in playing a fast-paced, offensive offensive is getting bigger and bigger. After the defensive strength of Belon, Consicao and Winter fell significantly, Simone could not withstand it in the middle.
In the 32nd minute, Pirlo inserted the ball afterwards, and Belon backtracked at a distance of three meters behind him, a little bit waiting for his teammates to successfully defend himself and then quickly organize a counterattack.
Ronaldinho moved to the middle and played with Pirlo to break through the Simone's defense zone. Larson and Henry swapped. Pirlo sent a scalpel to Henry. After the bottom of the penalty area, Henry swept the ball. In front of the goal, Larson deliberately dragged Nesta and let the ball roll in front of him. Nedved sent a sliding tackle from Mihailovich to send the ball from the back of the goal into the gate.
"Nedved helped the team to open the first record! This is a typical Millwall-style goal. The offensive player suddenly changed position and interfered with the defensive player's mark. Pirlo's pass broke the line. The forward player either directly attacked or unexpectedly. Pass it back to the player who inserted it later, beautiful goals, never tire of it! Eriksson, who had made a bold statement before the game, should now close his mouth, his team has no fight back at Wembley! "
Aldridge stood up and applauded, giving a thumbs-up to the players on the court.
