Chapter 687: Same strategy

Before the Juventus expedition to London, the Italian media had issued concerns and doubts about Juventus.
The reason is Lippi’s tactics. After winning three straight games in the season, Juventus entered a wave of six wins. Lippi, the tactical master, decisively changed his formation and changed from 442 to 352 before this game. In the Serie A, he achieved a record of 1 win and 1 draw. The record has improved, but it has not yet reached the level of success. 352 is not possible, and he is still exploring and experimenting.
When Aldridge led his team to challenge other teams, wherever the opponent put up a 3-guard formation, regardless of the position in the middle and frontcourts, Millwall's record was a victory. Of course, this ruled out that year with Bayern Munich on the road The game of the draw, after all, Bayern's 3 defenders, of which Matteus, strictly speaking, is not a simple central defender.
It seems that Aldridge has a lot of insight into the weakness of the third defender. The Italian media is worried that Lippi's team may be defeated by his opponent.
Fortunately, Millwall did not send the main force to debut, but at this time the score is still Millwall leading 1:0.
Italy’s on-site commentator said bluntly:
Millwall broke the Juventus gate first with the bench. The process of losing the ball is clear. The three-backs seem to have increased the number of defenders, but in the most critical position. The defense is very weak. If Ferrara has the world-class level of the year, he will definitely be able to move to intercept Kaka for the first time, but after his serious injury, his strength is no longer than that. Alas, Lippi If you are determined to play a three-back, Juventus will probably introduce another world-class center defender, Nesta is a very good candidate."
Lippi was also thinking about this at this time, from 442 to 352, not his deliberate change, because 442 proved that this tactic is not suitable for Juventus in a wave of six rounds, so it must be done Changes, as for how to change the best, Lippi also needs to re-examine the team.
Now 0:1 behind, Lippi made some adjustments while thinking about midfield, but things that made him unexpected happened again soon.
Juventus players were advanced by Millwall 2 team, players resented on the field!
This is really about to lose. Seeing Jiang Dong's father old!
So they blushed their eyes and rushed to equalize the score.
In a short period of time, the mentality has begun to be out of balance.
Attacking, madly attacking, completely lost his mind
Millwall resisted Juventus's stormy offensive pressure tenaciously. In the 32nd minute, Trezeguet shot the ball at a small angle to the goal at a far angle, and the ball flew out of the bottom line under the interference of Barzali. The Millwall players were sweating.
After 3 minutes, Piero swiftly grabbed the point to attack the goal, but fortunately Palyuka struggled to block the ball with his body to expand the defensive area, otherwise Millwall will be equalized.
Juventus's offensive went from wave to wave. From 25 minutes to 40 minutes, it was almost a bombardment of Millwall's half.
Millwall is in danger in the penalty area. Under the big scene of today, the rookie De Rossi was quite satisfactory at the beginning, and gradually lost some of the pressure. He frequently lost his position. There was only a ball in his eyes. He rushed to where the ball went. Where to intercept it is more like a stick. If Alonso didn't help him frequently, he also had a lot of people in the lower back. I'm afraid this defender line completely lost the barrier protection.
Aldridge was not surprised. He didn’t expect De Rossi to play very well as soon as he debuted. Defensive players are not like offensive players. Offensive players are often easy to make their debut because opponents will despise and don’t understand the technical characteristics of newcomers. , Will be caught off guard.
Defensive players are the opposite. They didn’t seek merit but did nothing at first, but it’s not easy to say that they don’t make mistakes in front of Juventus’ top opponents.
Therefore, Aldridge only released a three-pointer to improve the fault tolerance rate. At least two of the three players will be stable and there will be no major problems.
And Juventus' wave of mad attack can't be beat for a long time, Millwall once again hit a fatal counterattack.
This time it was Kaka who drove the ball from the backcourt to counterattack. On the way, he and Villa and Klose always maintained a three-legged momentum and moved forward. When they encountered Juventus' siege, they passed the triangle to solve it.
After seven passes and cooperation from the three, the three came to the opponent's penalty area and Kaka scored before. This point was particularly noticeable. This time, Kaka went diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.
In an instant, Juventus' defense line made a mistake. Thuram and Montero had signs of blocking the card. Villa in front of Montero conveniently tilted the opponent's center of gravity after pulling the ball horizontally and shook it out of space. , Klose then inserted diagonally behind Monteiro, Villa straight, Klose took the lead, Ferrara laterally intercepted, Klose smashed anti-Ferrara behind, this rhythm stopped Suddenly, Klose crossed the ball with Ferrara, and took another step forward to shoot out!
Buffon was brave and fell to the ground to block Klozer's imperative shot!
In fact, the step that Klizedo took, instead, narrowed the angle!
However, Klose, a sharp-eyed shooter, did not just watch after the shot. Buffon did not fully embrace the ball. The ball was blocked by him and popped in front of him for three meters. Buffon stood up and looked forward to Pressing the ball with a hungry tiger pressed the ball under him, but Klose stretched out the foot to poke the ball with his toes.
Buffon stared dumbly as the ball rolled over his armpit, immediately closed his eyes and lowered his head, he had already heard the cheers of the fans on the spot.
The ball also rolled into the goal without suspense.
"2:0! 2:0! Klose helped Millwall lead by two goals! If any fans must ask how powerful Millwall is? Open your eyes and see! They don’t have a main player today, but Can get a two-ball lead over Juventus! Yes, it may seem that Millwall is passive on the scene, but they are making Juventus fall into the abyss through a steadfast counterattack! Millwall has Hall, a tactical master, has such promising young geniuses as Klose, Villa, Kaka, Alonso and so on! They can completely rule European football for a long time. As Englishmen, we are together Witness how long the brilliance of the mad lion dynasty will last!"
Aldridge looked at the lads at the celebration and was also happy for them, waving his fists up and down in front of him for a moment.
Juventus players look dignified, of course they will not be discouraged.
The superficial argument is that Millwall led the score by sneak attack.
Strength is definitely Juventus dominant.
At the end of the first half, the score was 2:0, and Millwall unexpectedly led the bench with two goals at home.
Juventus on the scene is not without opportunities, but to say that the environment of the last blow is naturally not as good as the opportunities that Millwall bred in the counterattack.
Aldridge carefully arranged his tactics during the halftime, and at the same time raised his life against De Rossil, let him calm down first and review his performance in the first half. It cannot be said that he performed badly, even in this scene today. He lacked a lot of experience in the field and performed well.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.
Lippi returned to the coach seat and sat down, his expression returning to normal.
Juventus is the main attack, which is understandable. From the first minute on the situation, they can get a good result as long as they hold the draw. They have the advantage of promotion before the final round of the group stage. However, because Millwall sent the bench, they On the contrary, because of the strong team's face or dignity, they must take the initiative to attack, even on the road.
After losing the ball, this offense can't be stopped at all. If you lose this game, it will be a tragedy if the final round is not done well.
The offense still needs to be attacked, but how to attack and how to turn the advantage into a goal will test the ability of the head coach.
Lippi's adjustment in the midfield is reflected in the second half.
Juventus still have the advantage and initiative on the field, but they are not eager to play threatening. Millwall's four backs and three backs protect the inside and outside of the restricted area tightly, passing the threats rashly, and the success rate is very low.
They pass the ball patiently on the periphery, control the ball, frequently transfer transfers, using the width of the field to tear Millwall's defensive formation.
Aldrich was not surprised to see this.
If Juventus played so patiently from the beginning, Millwall would be very passive today, and this play is not new.
Football tactics are connected in many places. The last time Millwall played the Celtics away, Juventus played the same strategy against Millwall in the second half of the scene. They did not blindly pursue fast pace and ensured control of the ball. Be patient and wait until the opponent's defense line is slightly loose or flawed, then hit a sudden acceleration of attack to create a threat.
This method of creating threats is actually similar to Barcelona's Tiki-Taka tactical essence.
In terms of tactical nature, Tiki-Taka uses the ball to create offensive space.
For example, when attacking on the left, the opponent’s defense on this side will increase the strength. At this time, if the attack is suddenly transferred to the right, the attack space on the right will become invisible.
As for short pass, it is just a means.
If a long pass can achieve a success rate of more than 85%, you will definitely use a long pass to control the ball. This ball control does not refer to dribbling, but to ensure possession of the ball. Barcelona, ​​Spain, why use a short pass to go back and forth The foot makes some fans feel boring, because short pass is the most successful ball control method on the football field. Compared with dribbling and breakthrough, long pass transfer, short pass is undoubtedly the most stable, but the most stable is the most stable It's difficult to create highlights, so some people find watching Barcelona a drowsy game, and it's only exciting when the star shines.
To say how shocking Tiki-Taka is, it is nonsense. In the offensive methods of the top giants, there will be tactical options similar to Tiki-Taka. For example, Juventus is playing like this now, but the top giants prefer diversification. The offensive style, the breakthrough of the wing, the cut of the middle, the personal performance, the long-range power, the rhythm frequency conversion and so on, but Barcelona has trained Tiki-Taka to the extreme.
Aldridge was also thinking sometimes, how he now coaches Milwall when he meets the Cosmos team Barcelona, ​​how to crack the opponent's set of play, he came to a hypothetical conclusion that frustrated him, maybe 55 Situation.
Especially when Barcelona puts the ball to its peak, you can’t ask the players to rush to the ground to furiously snatch, so that will only reveal more free time, and the opponent is in possession of the ball more than 60% of the time. Opportunities for attack will be reduced invisibly.
Just like now, Juventus is not in a hurry, the Millwall formation is pressed forty yards in front of the door, and there is no chance for a counterattack, because the opponent is not sure enough and will not easily give you the ball. Without a ball, how to fight back?
