AC Milan tried to suppress Millwall, but it was not rash to press the whole army, due to the age constraints of the backline, they did not dare to move forward lightly, and in order to maintain the tightness of the three-line formation and avoid the disconnection of the formation, it is natural that the main force is in the midfield most of the time.

The so-called suppression is based on the process of the score of the game, but it is not the shape of the field.

It is conceivable that if they can overtake the score, then, without looking at the shape on the field, in the invisible comparison between the two sides, AC Milan will be more calm, and Millwall may fall into anxiety, which is a kind of psychological suppression!

In terms of tactics, AC Milan mainly grasped the rhythm of switching from defense to attack and began to exert its power.

Andrea Pirlo is undoubtedly a master at this, and he is what he does best when he takes advantage of the poor tempo of the game.

But within 5 minutes after conceding the goal, when AC Milan switched from defense to attack, Pirlo organized attacks twice, and he looked very impatient!

He will play long balls directly in central midfield, even when there is no pressure from all sides!

This surprised and amazed Aldridge on the sidelines.

This is not Pirlo's level!

Ordinary fans look at the level, maybe mainly look at the ball skills, in terms of ball skills, Pirlo's two long passes can be called in good shape, one long pass found Rui Costa, and the other found Shevchenko, who pulled the side.

However, both men lost the ball.

Whose responsibility is it?

The 33-year-old Rui Costa, whose explosiveness has dropped, fell to the ground after being forced by the beastly De Rossi, the referee did not award a foul, and Shevchenko was also frozen by Nesta when he cut inside with the ball.

Look at it intuitively. Pirlo is not responsible. It's the problem with these two people.

But look at the big picture. It was Pirlo who made them more comfortable when he didn't pass the ball to them!

It's not a knife mountain ball, it's similar to a knife mountain ball!

After receiving the ball, the teammate was isolated, there were no follow-up points around, and he could only control the ball by himself, and then was blocked by the opponent one-on-one.

In this contest division, Pirlo should know better than anyone that it is impossible to dominate the game alone!

Even Ronaldo doesn't dribble in AC Milan's dangerous zone lightly, he passes Rui Costa. Seedorf, Pirlo, you can!

But let him go to Stam, Maldini, Xiao Luo is not daring, but the risk is too great!

The probability of attacking is the highest, or teamwork as the main means!

Aldrich shook his head secretly.

If AC Milan were to settle the battle with a counter-attack + individual local outburst and win, then he would be very disappointed.

That would be a humiliation to his work!

He prepares for the game seriously. The energy expended is like overkill. Wasted time!

But he was wary that this would not be a killer for AC Milan, nor could it be a "gift" for Ancelotti to Aldridge in a final.

But what could it be?

Can't guess!

This is also in line with Millwall's change of attitude since the arrival of the First Dynasty.

They don't struggle to think about how to limit their opponents, to rack their brains to figure out what kind of problems their opponents will give them.

What they have to do is to do the best they can and it should be the opponent who limits them.

If the opponent can't contain Millwall.

Then no matter how bad the game is, it is nothing more than a return to a very primitive picture of football: who scored more goals!

At this point, Millwall has a strong sense of self-confidence.

After conceding the first goal, AC Milan's defense adjusted, and it can be said that it was strategically forced to abandon the protection of the side of the danger zone.

In other words, they will not try to make the fan-shaped danger zone in front of the goal airtight, and give up strategically on the blocking of a certain shot angle!

As long as the attack cannot be successfully transferred to the front area, then Millwall's shot will be shot, the angle is slightly smaller, and the probability of scoring is zài, but as long as Dida does not make low-level mistakes, Millwall's shot is not extremely tricky, and AC Milan's goal seems to be crumbling, but it has never conceded the second goal.

Aldridge's main focus is on figuring out AC Milan's attacking routines.

What are they planning?

According to the current general trend, Serie A has fallen from the throne of the world's first league and is entering a trough, from a technical and tactical point of view, a big reason is in one point, that is, speed!

This speed is relative, compared to the fast pace of the Premier League, Serie A is naturally slower!

Therefore, when the team playing as a whole is in confrontation, Serie A will seem to be a slow beat.

Corresponding to AC Milan, AC Milan itself can still be among the top teams in Europe now and in the next three years, and the important reason is that they have a Kaka who has reached the top.

Pirlo was the playmaker, but he couldn't bring an unpredictable burst of speed.

Especially when he is in the back position, even if it is a long pass, the farther the ball flies, the longer the flight time will be, and the more time the opponent will naturally react.

But when Kaka is in the front, playing a forward midfielder or a shadow striker, his speed explosiveness is an elusive point, his acceleration will drive changes in the game, and will have a chain reaction on the opponent's defense, and it is precisely because other teams do not have players like Kaka, so Kaka is "one person can decide the game" in the original history of Serie A.

Although the Kaka of 05 in the same period, it can be said that the Kaka of 07 can be said to be two Kaka.

But the problem that is plaguing AC Milan right now is: they don't have Kaka!

The lineup does not have this acceleration point!

Do you rely on long passes?

Pirlo's previous long pass has already given the answer.

When the ball flies from the back to the front, Millwall's defenders are top anticipators, and when the ball is less than 1/3 of the way away, De Rossi, Nesta, Schneider, Lahm, even Alonso, and perhaps everyone else except Silva can accurately predict where to land, and then watch the opponent's attack develop as they act, and then make the best decision.

itself in the process of this short passage of time. It will make the players who receive the ball more and more dangerous for AC Milan. Because before they get the ball. Millwall's defenders are hurting as they move close to them at a rapid pace, waiting to be pressed, or starting a physical confrontation directly before they receive the ball.

It is impossible to break through the Millwall defense line with such an attack!

Millwall had three shots in quick succession from the flank of the AC Milan defence area, with Villa on the right and Thierry Henry and Ronaldo on the left, all three of which ended in inactivity.

So Millwall started trying to play hard in the middle!

31st minute. Kaka, Ronaldo and Alonso made a triangular pass in the middle, and then Kaka tried to break directly into the AC Milan defence in the middle, and when the opponent was not tore the width of the defense by the wing, such a dribble breakthrough clearly despised the opponent.

Gattuso was indeed shocked by Kaka's explosiveness, but instead of completely losing his position, he engaged in a physical confrontation with Kaka, and Kaka was squeezed out of the way if there was no obstruction ahead. Kaka is nothing more than two steps to bypass the outside line, and then he can break through Gattuso. However, after AC Milan strategically lowered the side protection, the emphasis on the middle was extremely strong, and Maldini did not have a chance for Kaka to rush forward, he stepped forward to cut the ball straight and passed it to Pirlo, who started to run.

Kaka lost the ball and immediately accelerated towards Pirlo, who gracefully protected the ball as Kaka approached, and when Kaka lost his center of gravity and needed to catch his breath, Pirlo seemed to slowly but steadily dribble forward.

Aldrich was alert.

When Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, and the three of them made consecutive triangular passes in the midfield, Aldridge's expression changed, and he muttered to himself: "I know, I know!" Carlo, this is your main attack! No wonder your hair is turning gray, what a scheming! ”

Millwall's frontcourt players were able to defend back, including Ronaldo, but they made a mistake!

A mistake misled by AC Milan!

They're after Pirlo!

Instead of returning to the midfield to fill the space at the back!

Why?

Because at the beginning, they ran back, Henry, Kaka, harassed in the middle, and Ronaldo and Villa ran along the inside route of the wing to the backfield.

However, Pirlo had been attacking with long balls before!

Millwall's frontcourt players hadn't run a few steps when they suddenly found that AC Milan's attack had been stopped!

After a few times in a row, their defense naturally became to intercept Pirlo, subconsciously thinking that as long as they sniped Pirlo, AC Milan's attack would be finished!

Now, that's a trap!

A trap with Pirlo at its core!

Paralyze Millwall's overall defense!

Generally speaking, no coach would dare to do this, because it is a sacrifice, a gamble!

The time that passes is the price!

Game time is the foundation of a qiē, if there is no time, how can there be any offense, defense, and goals?

But, on the other hand, if AC Milan had played like this from the beginning, would it have had a miraculous effect?

Will you receive the effect of the three No.10s' playing with the superb skills of the three No.10s and the ability to move forward quickly in a small area?

How could Millwall present a picture of the opposing side being overwhelmed by the army?

AC Milan has no acceleration point, and Ancelotti is well aware of this, at this moment, Ancelotti clenched his fists, and his seemingly unwavering face is actually trembling imperceptibly.

However, AC Milan have the most stable midfield in the world!

Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, all three are masters of passing!

After getting rid of Millwall's frontcourt defense, the trio quickly advanced in a triangular position, not too far away, and after maintaining a reasonable position, the trio passed the ball to each other to break through Millwall's midfield defense!

One-on-one is a very special situation.

There are not many one-on-one scenes on the pitch, even on the wings, the connection between the winger and the full-back, and the central player, there will be more possibilities.

Millwall only has Alonso and De Rossi in the midfield, but AC Milan has three points, 2 defense 2 may be no problem, 2 defense 3, to prevent AC Milan's three passing masters, why Millwall?

The AC Milan fans in the stands were excited, they could clearly see that the momentum of AC Milan's attack was different, this was the biggest change in AC Milan's momentum after the opening, and there was an unstoppable sharpness!

The edge is directed at the wild lion!

Now, it's time for a tooth for a tooth! (To be continued......)
