Warnock disclosed Sheffield United's goal of the game - to get points, getting points is not fun, a draw can also get a point, Warnock actually said that Sheffield United will strive for a draw, and the league leader Millwall, a draw is equivalent to a victory.

No one is going to laugh at Sheffield United or Warnock for that.

More than a season ago, Millwall was also a promoted team, they were only promoted one season earlier than Sheffield United, but Millwall has long been out of the status of promoted horses, they won the league directly, and also participated in the Champions League, and their current strength has been recognized as the top team in the Premier League.

Sheffield United are a pure promotion team.

The gap between the two is huge.

Because of this, Sheffield United don't have to bear any pressure, they can play as much as they can get points, not to mention fun, as long as they can get a point, they will be considered very successful.

As soon as the game began at Neil Stadium, Sheffield United immediately put on a rigid posture, with all but one striker staying in front, and all the other players returned to their own half, almost in front of their own goal, to confront Millwall's attack.

The media and fans were stunned.

For example, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Everton that Millwall met before, they also used a solid defense to confront Millwall, but their approach was more shy, and they still played a few waves of offensives, and then maintained self-resistance, and the goal frequently encountered crises, and the formation retreated in a big way, but it was also a half-court defense, and there was no public iron bucket formation in front of the goal.

Sheffield United is different.

The game has just begun, Millwall has not yet started to attack, they have already set up their position in advance, and it seems that they have directly given up attacking?

The game can still be played like this!

"Warnock is even more shameless," the same rude words appeared in the hearts of many people.

Millwall have not been affected by Sheffield United's style of play, whether the opponent is like a dense defense that is hiding and trying to resist and welcome, or like Sheffield United in front of them, a faceless direct shrinkage formation into the penalty area, the result is no different, they should still face it.

They were prepared for it.

Millwall just played according to the tactics, but when the game went on for a few minutes and their formation really showed up, some people saw the difference.

Livermore, Morris, Simpson, the three seem to be in parallel positions?

No!

Livermore stands up to the front!

The spectator stands are on a higher level, which can give a bird's eye on the situation on the field, and when the two sides are stretched, the media, fans and commentators can watch and celebrate.

Many people find that something is wrong.

Sky Sports commentator Kevin Bullard exclaimed in confusion, "No, what's going on?" ”

————

Not only the media, the fans, the commentators, but also the Sheffield United players on the pitch didn't feel right, and they found that the opposition was very far forward at the back, as if it was higher than the two defenders.

When they stumble upon the ball and are ready to launch a wave of counter-attacks, the first thing they face is the defense at the back?

Kinica took a closer look at the front and back, with centre-back Claude Davies behind.

Looking to the left, Tang Qi on the left is still on the penalty line, and then to the left, you can see the left fullback Brownby, which also shows that his position is not wrong, he is still in a dangerous position near the penalty area, but how can he face the opponent's back?

Could it be that the other party is attacking too far ahead?

By the time Jackignani realised something was wrong, it was too late for Livermore to poke the ball out and Millwall regained possession and continued to hear Sheffield United's half-penetrating attack.

Livermore smiled at Jackieka, his thick demeanor not threatening.

Jackica had a completely different opinion, he still remembered that this guy hit his shoulder and hurt, he looked around again, paying special attention to Livermore's movement, and thought cautiously, "Was it an accident, or did the other party change position?" ”

————

Jackica only played against Livermore twice and didn't know much about the overall formation, but the media, fans and commentators saw it very clearly.

Ten minutes passed, Kevin Bullard had a definite answer, and he began to analyze, "Millwall's formation seems to be a little different in this game, they still play 451, but the three in the middle, Livermore's position is a little forward. ”

"We all know that Livermore is a guy who is very sharp defensively and shooting, and he is very physical, and he can cause a lot of problems on his own. But he's by no means the kind of player who is good at co-ordinating, and it's rare to see him play a fine combination with his teammates in a game. ”

"Livermore can be said to be a pure midfielder, he is not suitable for playing forward, but now Millwall's formation is a little strange, after Simpson and Morris, Livermore is a little forward, is Millwall letting Simpson and Morris play in the back, and Livermore plays forward? That's weird. ”

Kevin Bullard's conclusions are certainly not possible.

Morris can play in the back, but Livermore can't play in the front, and Simpson can't play in the back, Simpson and Morris stand in parallel, but the two are still in the middle, the only change is that the position is slightly back, and Livermore appears in front, forming a formation in front of the back.

This set of formations can also be said to be 4231, but the '2' is not two back waists, the position is not so pulled, the correct expression is 451, it is a pure 451, the 'back waist front' style of play, has given up the back position.

If the opposite side is Manchester United, Chelsea and other strong teams, Zhang Yang will not make the team so big, but the opponent is only Sheffield United, a promoted horse in the league, the opponent also ulces the dense defense, whether there is a defense at the back or not, the difference will not be played, Livermore's position is premised, which can maximize the team's ability to break the dense defense.

Millwall has been familiar with the new formation for half a month, and everyone else is better, as are Morris and Simpson, they are just a little bit behind, not much different from before, and the most important thing to adapt is Livermore.

The new formation was played by Wenlivermore.

————

Millwall's new formation is a bit incomprehensible, they feel that Livermore's position is premised, it doesn't make any sense at all, they don't think it can do anything, Livermore is not good at cooperating with his teammates, standing in the center of the team, can it be useful in addition to being an eyesore?

Sheffield United certainly don't think so.

They don't know about the analysis of the outside world, but the first thing they can realize is that it is more difficult to fight a counteroffensive.

Livermore's defensive ability is just too good.

Millwall is a 'frontcourt press', if Livermore is pulled back, the first-line defense will not have anything to do with him, but Livermore is in front, they have just got the ball, and they have to face Livermore's defense.

This kind of running in front of the back is simply too violent!

It feels like a game with Milan, Kaka has become Gattuso, the opposite side has just gotten the ball, it doesn't matter at all in the face of Kaka, Kaka's defensive ability is average, most of the time he directly lets the opponent pass, and he won't chase to defend at all, but after becoming Gattuso, the opposite side just got the ball, and he has to face a tough guy like Gattuso.

Simply so!

The mood of the Sheffield United players cannot be described, anyway, they have less pitiful number of balls, and they play fewer counter-attacks, and most of the time they don't have time to pass the ball out before they are counter-attacked by Millwall again.

When seeing Sheffield United finally break the ball and prepare to drive the ball forward, Livermore rushed over quickly and sent the ball to his teammates with a tackle, Kevin Bullard exclaimed, "Livermore is so violent!" "It's usually tackle and defend in your own half, and the premise of Livermore's position is equivalent to putting your own half's defense in the opponent's half, which is really a bit of a bully.

Sheffield United were clearly not used to this kind of violent 'attack', they got the ball on a couple of occasions and didn't even hit the counter-attack, and the game seemed to be completely a half-time attack and defense between the two sides: Millwall were always attacking and Sheffield United were always defending.

————

Livermore's performance in front of the defense was also unexpected, the purpose of the new formation is to increase the means of breaking dense defense, but I didn't expect Livermore's offense to have not yet performed, and the defense was surprised first.

Accidentally!

Really unexpected!

Zhang Yang didn't think that the 'back front' can also increase the ability to counter-attack in front of the ground, in the case of Sheffield United's shrinking formation, Millwall's half-time suppression was already very powerful, their possession rate easily exceeded 75%, more than three times more than the opponent, with Livermore such a ' Anti-robbery professionals', Sheffield United did not dare to cooperate in the backfield, as long as he saw Livermore, the only thing he could do was to pass the ball out, but there was a player in Qianchen, under the defense of Zambrotta and other defenders, the opponent's striker Shipley did nothing, Shipley said that Sheffield United was the top scorer, and he also used to serve Chelsea, but he was just an ordinary player after all, and the Chelsea he played for at that time was not brilliant, that is not worth being proud of, a Zambrotta is enough to double the pressure on Shipley, even if he gets the ball, it is difficult to pose any threat。

Sheffield United struggled to organise an effective attack, counter-attacking was impossible to talk about, they said before the game that they were 'fighting for a draw', and now they really can only try for a draw.

This kind of competition puts Millwall in an 'unbeaten' situation.

Sidelines.

Sheffield United coach Warnock was dumbfounded, even if he formulated a dense defensive style of play before the game, he never thought that he would be passive to such an extent, for a long time, Sheffield United did not have any decent counterattack, no, not even a decent pass, the rear looker did not dare to pass the ball, it was just a big kick to the front, and then waited for Millwall to launch the next wave of offensive, and only when the dead ball was killed, you could get a chance, such as Millwall kicked the ball out of the bottom line, and the ball went to Sheffield to join forces, They will symbolically pass a few balls, but they will basically not pass the half, they have not planned to play across the halfway, and the football will basically be snatched by Millwall as soon as the ball crosses the halfway.

This kind of extreme suppression is too bullying, right?

Warnock understood Millwall's style of play, and because of that, he was even more surprised.

Can you still use this at the back?

Sheffield United also have midfielders, but their midfielders are similar to defenders, not to mention attacking the edge of the penalty area, it would be good to be able to cross the halfway, and it would be too difficult to rely on the midfielders to support the front nest.

Millwall's approach opened a new door for Warnock.

It turns out that it can still be done!

Warnock can also see that this style of play is only suitable for playing against weak teams, otherwise the situation will be suppressed by the other side, and the back will attack so far forward, and the back punishment is equal to no defense, but it is a pity that in the game with Millwall, Sheffield United belongs to the 'weak team', but is still a 'very weak team', and I don't know whether it is pitiful or pathetic
