Livermore's goal not only helped Millwall extend their lead, but also dealt a major blow to PSV Eindhoven.

The blow is heartfelt.

Millwall's first goal relied on the cooperation of the middle, and that kind of goal can still be defended well as long as you pay attention to it, such as Eindhoven's current tight defense, Braniff, Morris and other players, no matter how smooth the cooperation is, they can't play at the edge of the penalty area, and it is naturally more impossible to pass the ball to the penalty area to find opportunities.

That's too hard!

PSV Eindhoven's defence is no showcase, and they won't allow Millwall to play in dangerous positions.

Livermore's goal was different.

PSV Eindhoven were already defending hard, blocking the entire edge of the box, but Livermore's feet were too far away for them to extend the range to such an extent that they could only watch Livermore shoot after shot.

The opponent can directly threaten the goal from such a long distance, how will the next game be played?

Is PSV Eindhoven still hopeful?

Maybe the thinking now is not to tie the score, but not to let the opponent's back kick shoot!

As long as Millwall doesn't score again, it's pretty remarkable.

Many PSV Eindhoven players think so, especially those who are focused and defensive, such as the two centre-backs Alex and Salcido, and the starting left wing-back Sun Xiang.

In the entire Eindhoven team, Sun Xiang is the most looking forward to the game.

In the game against Arsenal, Sun Xiang was only a little excited to come off the bench, but against Millwall he became very excited, because Koeman gave him trust and appeared on the field as the main player, against the most famous Chinese coach - Zhang Yang, who led the Premier League top club Millwall.

Previously, domestic media reported that Zhang Yang might consider bringing in Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang believed it a little.

In other words, Sun Xiang didn't believe it at all, he just showed his joy and praised Millwall by the way, as a player, he was looking forward to joining the team he liked.

That's all.

Sun Xiang didn't think that Zhang Yang would really invite him to join Millwall, because there was no reason at all, he knew his level, and when he was in China, he still felt that he was one of the best, and after arriving in Eindhoven, he trained and played with his teammates, and the gap could be seen for a long time.

Koeman started him only because of his recent form.

If there is a chance to stay at PSV Eindhoven, he may occupy a substitute position, and it is difficult to imagine the main team, unless there is a big improvement in the future, it is basically unlikely.

Millwall?

To say that before the start of the game, Sun Xiang still had a dream to look forward to, "Maybe Zhang Yang really appreciates me?" ”

Now, Sun Xiang is a little disheartened.

Not to mention whether he has the opportunity to join Millwall, even if pie in the sky really falls, he successfully joins Millwall, and he needs to think about whether he can play, rather than being happy and excited.

This Millwall is simply too strong!

PSV Eindhoven is already a very strong team, but Millwall doesn't even have room to fight back in front of them, look at their main lineup, Pire, Darren Bent, Zambrotta and others needless to say, they are all the world's top stars, a midfielder Livermore, is the most terrifying of them, can bombard the Eindhoven goal from afar, and the technique at his feet is completely unreasonable.

Even other lesser-known players don't have the skills they can match.

Sun Xiang noticed the full-back opposite him, Abeloa.

Before the start of the game, Sun Xiang did his homework, he knew the name of Arbeloa, the other party is Real Madrid's youth system, a rare talent in recent years, unable to play in Real Madrid, so he can only leave and choose to join Millwall.

Such a genius is only a 'semi-main force', directly a substitute player.

Millwall's substitutes are like this, and even if they do, it's almost impossible to get a chance to play, so why join?

Sun Xiang could only shake his head and smile bitterly, maybe he should work hard for a more practical 'stay in PSV', instead of wanting to join the top clubs in the big league.

At the moment, he does not have the corresponding level.

"Millwall are two goals ahead of PSV Eindhoven! The first half wasn't over yet, but in the past games we can see that Einhuvern don't seem to be the opponent at all, they have dropped their defence back to the goal......

The Dutch media were a little unpleasant, and the words of the report on the game were also full of reverse ridicule and sarcasm.

Millwall celebrated a little, and the game soon resumed.

Coman was a little helpless.

Koeman has always felt that the team can rely on defensive counter-attacks, and Millwall can maneuver, as long as they work hard to play, they also have the opportunity to play the goal of 'not letting the opponent score', but he didn't expect this to be the result, before the first half, the opponent scored two goals, disrupting all the arrangements and deployments.

Koeman now knows that he is overconfident and thinks that if he eliminated Arsenal, he would definitely eliminate Millwall.

Sometimes, being confident is a good thing, but being overconfident turns into hubris.

The current Millwall is quite strong, and it is definitely not to the extent of 'invincible in the world', maybe PSV Eindhoven has a chance to beat Millwall, and it is by no means relying on defensive counterattacks.

The poor arrangement before the game is tantamount to giving victory to the opponent.

Koeman knew he had to think about how to limit Millwall's goals, how to try to get a goal back, and how to stabilize the score.

That's critical.

If Millwall were allowed to continue scoring, the second round would be meaningless and PSV Eindhoven would definitely lose.

They have to keep the suspense alive.

Coman looked at the clock, and it was only three minutes before the end of the first half.

At half-time, you have to talk to the players to stabilize their mentality and try to perform better in the second half, otherwise the team will not retain the hope of the second round.

————

Intermission was fast approaching.

In the Eindhoven dressing room, Coman explained for more than ten minutes in a row, in addition to motivating the players to maintain a steady mentality, it was an explanation of tactical adjustments.

Let the team continue to defend, the prospects are very unoptimistic.

Koeman gave up on continuing to defend and counter-attack to allow his team to attack properly.

Offense is the best defense.

Don't seek to suppress Millwall with offense, at least let the opponent have some scruples, can't attack around Eindhoven in the half, and keep the game at the bottom line.

0 to 2, just save the suspense.

If Millwall is allowed to score another one, PSV Eindhoven will have no chance.

Of course, Koeman won't give up defence entirely.

That's just as unrealistic.

Koeman asked the players to attack appropriately, the two wings should be driven, with the attack on the side as the main means of attack, and the middle is more mainly defensive, and the two midfielders in the middle, Simmons and Mendes, should still retreat more to participate in the defense.

This is mainly due to the fact that Millwall is too strong in the middle.

If the midfielder goes up and has the two centre-backs facing the opposite side of the pitch, it is too dangerous.

Millwall locker room.

Zhang Yang is also analyzing the second half for the players.

"As long as you are a person with a normal IQ, you can see the situation in the first half, and if the opponent continues to play like this, they will definitely lose to us by a big score, so they will definitely adjust. As for how to adjust, it is nothing more than to increase the attack, whether it is from the wing or the middle, but the opponent's defense will definitely be affected. ”

"We have to be vigilant against the opponent's attack, PSV Eindhoven can reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and there are definitely two brushes in attack. But we also try our best to seize opportunities! ”

"Before the fight, I said that our goal is not to win, but to beat them by a big score and complete the goal in two rounds in one round."

'In the second half, we continued to play the same way and continued to put pressure on the opposition and try to get as many attacks as possible, but at the same time we had to play and pay attention to the defense. You can do it, right? ”

————

Zhang Yang did not change his tactics, but just reminded the players.

That's enough.

Zhang Yang is very confident in the game, one is that in addition to the away factor, the team has the advantage in other aspects, and the first half of the game is enough to put pressure on Eindhoven, even if the opponent turns defense into attack, it may not be much form.

Second, Millwall's luck was good.

'Divination of words and spirits' still has a certain degree of prediction, and there must be some truth in the lucky evaluation of 'Xiao Ji'.

It is a bit incomprehensible that the luck of 'Xiao Ji' will give PSV Eindhoven an advantage in such an advantageous situation.

Zhang Yang believes that the competition will have a satisfactory result.

From the start of the second half, it was clear that PSV Eindhoven had stepped up their attack slightly.

Just 'slightly'.

Instead of pushing forward, PSV Eindhoven relied on a wide run and crossed from position to find an opportunity.

This is the most 'cheap' offensive play.

Wing players looking for opportunities to break through, only need the side players to step forward, the middle is just a striker, at most plus a forward, so few players to participate in the attack, but can have the opportunity to dangerous goals, so the side play, is the offensive play 'cost-effective', that is, 'cheapest'.

However, the wide burst cross style depends on the player's ability and luck to play effectively.

The first is player ability.

Wide players have to break through with the ball, they must be fast, and their skills at their feet must not be bad, even if they are qualified, they often rely on luck to bring the ball to a position where they can cross.

There are some of the best wide players in the world who can make the wide play a lot more threatening.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo.

C-Ronaldo's dribbling and speed have made many opponents feel helpless, he can always dribble the ball to key positions, and then he can also pass a good ball.

Another example, Cristiano Ronaldo's predecessor - David Beckham.

Beckham does not rely on speed, but on excellent footwork, and at his peak, Beckham can accurately find the other side of the penalty area by passing the ball from the side of the middle line.

That's the opponent's nightmare!

In addition, luck is also a very important part, even if the pass is accurate, it also requires teammates to cooperate with the movement and play.

Often the opponent who receives the ball needs to play against the opposing central defender, and many times, even have to face two defenders, no matter how accurate the ball passes, it depends on luck to score goals.

Does PSV Eindhoven have top wide players?

The answer is: no.

Kocu and Fehr are also good wide players, but they are only 'good' and are still a bit far from the top.

Therefore, Koeman's offensive style of play is just a 'minimum price' and a chance to find opportunities.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to get into the next one.

If you're lucky, there's no way around it.

So how was Eindhoven's luck? The luck verdict of 'Word Divination' can say something about the fact that often when a team is lucky, their opponents are unlucky.

Millwall's lucky verdict was 'Little Lucky' and PSV Eindhoven's luck could only be below the horizon......
