1099 Surprise Attack and Savior!
If Aldridge can't guess what his opponent will do, then he won't sit still!
He will use an immutable means against his enemies.
Preemptive!
No one has ever dictated how football should be played.
Some teams start defending when they are ahead, others slow down the tempo, and some attack more aggressively!
In a pinnacle matchup, when everyone theoretically thought that they should be cautious, and when Millwall was ahead, Aldridge went off the rails!
At the start of the second half, Carlo Ancelotti was playing his little trick in the hope of paralyzing Millwall again in the early stages to create the illusion of a lack of attacking power.
However, Millwall ignored their opponents, and even though they were ahead, they did not lie comfortably in bed waiting for their dream of winning the championship to become a reality.
Crazy lion, crazy lion!
Millwall attacked frantically from the start of the second half, showing a completely non-defensive posture!
Midfielders, defenders, take turns in the back row to bombard AC Milan!
Although it looked aggressive on the pitch, Aldridge believes that this will have a good effect on disrupting AC Milan's layout, because the opponent will not expect Millwall to dare to let Nesta rush forward in the positional battle!
In the 47th minute, Alonso received a return pass from Villa outside the penalty area and shot directly from a distance, Dida saved the ball, and Henry's follow-up shot was blocked by Maldini with his body.
AC Milan were looking to threaten with Millwall's open space, with Andrea Pirlo's long ball no longer point-to-point for team-mates, but over the top. Trying to hit the Millwall defence directly.
48th minute. Bout dropped out of the box and calmly headed the ball over to Schneider before Shevchenko got on the edge of the box.
After 20 seconds. Ronaldo lobed a shot from the edge of the box to the inside of the far post, but the ball grazed the crossbar and flew off the line.
In the 50th minute, Kaka ran long with the ball and made a one-two with Villa on the right side and then entered the penalty area, and he grabbed a shot from Maldini's side and bounced off the post!
After another two minutes, Millwall's patient positional battle followed nearly 20 passes, with Lahm suddenly picking up the ball from the flank, and Nesta slotting into the box to grab a header. The AC Milan team was shocked.
Because Millwall rarely play this kind of high-post cross tactics now, on the one hand, because Henry's header ability is miserable, and on the other hand, in the high point competition, AC Milan's defensive ability is obviously very strong.
This time, though, Nesta's header left AC Milan in despair.
Neither Stam nor Maldini expected that Nesta would suddenly rush up from the back to the front of the goal and unexpectedly grab the point!
The ball flew straight into the top left corner of the goal, Dida did not make a save, he was completely unable to react, and his vision was blocked by his teammates. From the angle from which he was standing, he could only see the ball. And he couldn't see the players rushing up to Millwall behind him, or rather, Thierry Henry, Villa, the threat point of being able to grab the header, it was all in his field of vision, and he couldn't think of anyone there.
At this moment, he can only look at the ball and sigh!
“3:1,3:1,3:1! Millwall launched an onslaught at AC Milan at the start of the second half! And he quickly scored, it was Nesta's header! No one could have imagined it, no one could have imagined it! At this time, Nesta must have enjoyed it very much, and was able to score in such a crucial game, not only in defense but also in attack, and this goal is likely to help Millwall seal the win! ”
Nesta smiled at his team-mates as he ran after scoring the goal, and he looked incredulous himself.
Aldridge touched his nose on the sidelines, tilting his head slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was rather evil.
Ancelotti felt like she had been punched in the heart again and almost vomited blood!
To say that Millwall will attack after the score is up, it is normal, they are the representative team of European attacking football, and if the score is ahead, it will obviously weaken the attack, which is too utilitarian.
However, Millwall's weakened defense and extremely pressed the offense, which is - typical Aldridge style.
Cards that don't follow common sense!
The change in posture alone made his halftime analysis a big joke.
AC Milan subconsciously fell into a panic in shock, slightly overwhelmed.
They were going to follow Ancelotti's tactical plan, but it seemed that their opponents were not cooperating with them.
Carlo Ancelotti shifted his heart and gestured to the players on the pitch to get them up to the tempo.
There is no way, according to his thoughts, in fact, the first 15 minutes of the second half may be a test of each other, or a stage for Millwall, after 60 minutes, to start the final desperate fight, although it is good to tie the score, but if it is to tie the score in 70-80 minutes, this is the heaviest psychological blow to Millwall!
At the end of the day, if Millwall's mentality is out of balance, AC Milan's chances of winning this pinnacle battle will be greatly improved!
But this assumption is based on the background of falling behind by one goal.
This half-time idea can be thrown into the trash.
Now two goals down and the game time is ticking.
Carlo Ancelotti has to fight, AC Milan has to fight too!
After a wave of surprise attacks, Millwall led the opponent 3-1 and of course will not give the opponent more opportunities aggressively.
However, it is still necessary to put enough pressure on the opponent, after all, if the tempo slows down completely, the situation will definitely be better for AC Milan, because their midfield passing is the best in the world, and they have the best midfield combination in the world with the best passing ability!
Aldridge was still reading the game intently, wondering what else AC Milan had left untapped.
In the 56th minute, his eyes suddenly widened and he muttered, "It turned out to be him!" ”
AC Milan continued to play a steady pass in midfield, looking similar to the attack that scored Millwall's goal in the first half.
At this time, however, there was a noticeable change in them.
The midfield does not directly put pressure on Millwall's midfielders and defenders. It's about steady passing. Look. It's attracting firepower!
When Villa, Ronaldo and Kaka withdrew to harass, there was still a man in the back row of AC Milan who quietly moved up, and then, after half-time, when the main area was still in the area at the front of the midfield, he strode into the field.
At this time. Rui Costa and Seedorf also pressed the back line to draw the attention of Millwall's defence.
Crespo, in particular, stood close to Schneider, as if deliberately drawing Schneider to his side and distracting Schneider.
At that moment, Pirlo got rid of Kaka's harassment in the area up front of midfield and then passed a ball over the top in the direction of Crespo!
Schneider was originally guarding Crespo, but when the overhead ball came out, he realized that Pirlo's ball was not passed to Crespo!
Because Crespo is still running inside the trajectory. But the ball didn't fly in that direction, it was behind Schneider!
Who's running behind him?
Karadze!
Schneider quickly retreated. Don't grab the ball to land, mainly block the opponent's cross or cut the line, this choice is right!
If he rushes straight to the landing point, the moment the center of gravity is handed over, Kaladze can stop and get Schneider off at the same time as he stops the ball.
And now, Karadze is in a dilemma.
The line of the cross is not clear, and if it is passed back to Seedorf, De Rossi seems to be waiting for him to do it!
In the end, Kaladze could only barely get up and cross, and this cross was cleared by Nesta's header!
Ancelotti made a head-hugging gesture on the sidelines, which is extremely regrettable!
But the regretful love was only saved for less than a second, because I was going to start worrying and panic!
Nesta's header was half-turned and volleyed in front of the left wing.
Rahm quickly put it on, controlled the ball before it went out of the sideline, and without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, immediately passed the ball to Ronaldo, who was running forward.
Ronaldo stopped the ball and turned around to accelerate, made a one-two with the retreating Henry, and killed from the left to the right in the middle in a cross-run manner, Pirlo has not returned, Gattuso almost collapsed in the rush, Millwall's flowery offensive running position made him in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to pounce on a point at all!
Karadze didn't come back, and Millwall's attack had a very large space advantage.
While this is a common occasion for other teams, Millwall is not, and Millwall's opponents, almost more than 95 per cent, would not dare to commit to full-backs, which would have expanded the lateral defensive area of the back line to allow Millwall to wreak havoc at will.
Henry was marked by AC Milan as the main target, Xiao Luo was the second, and Xiao Luo was about to enter the penalty area with the ball, Gattuso came to defend, Xiao Luo poked the ball forward, Villa was close to Maldini and did not dare to make a mistake, he did not challenge Maldini, who was as strong as a monster, but knocked the ball back to the left of the top of the arc of the penalty area.
I have to say that Villa's pass is wonderful, there, Kaka rushed up, took a step forward, Henry ran a step to the left in front of him, Stam didn't dare to lose Henry, so he also took a step, this step, widened the distance between him and Maldini, Kaka changed direction slightly under Henry's cover, and then accelerated to the middle with the ball!
Kaka is over!
But at the same time, Dida also abandoned the door.
Dida ran out in fear, but he knew that he had to abandon the goal the moment Kaka broke through the defensive line, otherwise he would give the opponent a shot with a very wide angle on goal, and then the end would be certain death!
There was not much time left for Kaka to deal with the ball, he had to shoot, he could only shoot, there was no chance of crossing, Henry and Villa were blocked by Stam and Maldini, and when Dida rushed over to expand the defensive area, Kaka chose to push the ball into the corner of the goal!
When he saw Dida fall to the ground and use his right leg to block the ball without touching it, Kaka almost saw the goal happen, because he was sure that he wouldn't miss the shot!
Maybe everyone thinks so, but as the ball rolls towards the bottom left corner of the goal and is about to roll across the goal line, a figure cuts diagonally into everyone's field of vision, and he uses a sliding tackle to block the ball!
Cafu! (To be continued......)
