Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

Owen celebrated as Liverpool team-mates chased him, and the Reds fans in the stands roared and quickly equalised, as if they had really given them the illusion that the gap between us and European giants Millwall had become very small.

Benitez still has that tepid look, but his mentality is very different from before the opening.

He saw Millwall's posture today, and vaguely understood Aldrich's psychology.

90 minutes to solve the battle?

That's a lie!

Millwall were all about winning in the opening stages, destroying Liverpool with a devastating attack, and then spending the rest of the game slowly wearing down their opponents and using their good passing.

Hum!

Aldrich, I didn't expect that!

Liverpool's temperament is very different from what it used to be!

We won't be crushed by the goal, we are ready to be aware of the worst situation and deal with it!

The bloody, tenacious, and unbreakable Red Army is back this season!

On the contrary, Millwall, Aldrich, did he anticipate the current situation?

What's next for Millwall?

Can the whole team still be unified?

Although less than 20 minutes into the game, Benitez has a keen eye for potential changes on the pitch.

Millwall relented after the goal, but what about after conceding?

Do you want to rush out again?

This kind of team-wide adjustment itself has very high requirements for the unity of thought of the whole team, and once different synchronous adjustments, the team will fall apart!

Lions fans in the stands. Millwall players inside the stadium. They felt a little aggrieved at the moment.

It's not because of how strong Liverpool are. It's not that it's suppressed on the scene.

Not because of the change in the score.

Not to mention 1:1, even 1:2 or 1:3 cannot shake them.

It's just that Liverpool's fierce fighting spirit seems to be an invisibly provocation.

Provocation to the king!

This cannot be tolerated!

But on the contrary, everyone still has to be depressed and calm, and the Champions League final is circling in their minds!

That was Millwall's second chance to win the Champions League three times in a row!

If you can win the Champions League.

The second real Champions League trophy will come to the Lion King Stadium!

Because of this, it is powerful but cannot be fully displayed. Let the players have a fire in their hearts.

Aldridge, who was on the sidelines, was naturally able to appreciate the feelings of the players.

Fortunately!

Aldrich stood on the pinnacle, still not forgetting to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Before the war starts, you want to lose first!

Millwall is in the situation where he is now, he's really prepared, of course, in a lot of other games, he's always prepared, but in games he doesn't necessarily have a good place to play.

But a strong sense of distress will make him prepare for the future.

Truth be told, he expected Liverpool to take the opportunity to breach Millwall's goal, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. With so close to Millwall's goal, the impact was even stronger!

Aldridge gestured from the sidelines. Although the Millwall players are on fire in their hearts, they are still very calm and restrained, how the team should play, and the coaching staff have deployed to deal with different situations in the pre-match preparation meeting.

Now, they won't panic in the slightest.

As for how to play the next game, it is not as brave as the opening game.

Aldridge coped with this situation and did not change the whole team, but entrusted a player with important responsibilities!

After the restart, Millwall's stance did not change dramatically, and it was still based on balance.

Benitez watched for a minute before standing up and walking to the sidelines for an on-the-spot schedule.

Liverpool have a focus on Millwall's key players, there is no doubt about this, which was deliberately emphasised before the game.

And if Millwall wants to consume Liverpool with a steady mentality, this is indeed a hidden danger.

Too desperate to win against Millwall, desperate to get their hands on the trophy, Liverpool's players certainly can't match Millwall, despite their strength.

But if the score can't be ahead, the later it is in the game, the more bad it will be for Liverpool, and they will be more likely to make mistakes!

One mistake and one game is ruined!

To be able to make up for this, for Liverpool, it is infinite fighting spirit and momentum!

There is also a rhythm and speed impact that bursts out on the basis of physical fitness!

The Liverpool backline attaches great importance to the marking of Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Henry, and almost as soon as they get the ball, they will sound the alarm and cooperate with all the teammates who return to the front court to carry out crazy encirclement.

The game seemed to be in a stalemate, Millwall did not burst into a surging attack, and the step-by-step style of play seemed to be understood by Liverpool.

Even Liverpool had more dangerous attacks after the equaliser than they did, but it came from long range and it was very difficult to take advantage of good chances in the box.

Benitez began to waver a little, unable to figure out what Aldridge was thinking, and it seemed that Millwall was not resolute between attack and defense, which is also a common problem that many teams do not play a balanced tactical system, to attack, not resolute enough, to defend, and not thorough enough.

It stands to reason that such a scenario should not have happened to Millwall, because Aldridge has always been very clear about what the team should ask for and what to shape on the pitch.

After 35 minutes of the first half, Benitez became more and more heavy, vaguely suspecting that Liverpool was being paralyzed by Millwall, and Millwall, under the calm, brewed a shocking storm!

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he noticed a player's movement and his heart was thundering!

Who?

Philip Ram!

At first, Lahm ran up like a normal wide assist and played with Ronaldo, but in the 36th minute, after Lahm passed the ball to Ronaldo, Ronaldo moved backwards with the ball. And did not attack Liverpool's tight defence. Meantime. Rahm approached the inside line and staggered with Ronaldo!

The way it was run itself caused alarm among the Liverpool generals, but Ronaldo was distracted by their vigilance and immediately passed the ball to Kaka in the middle!

The Liverpool defenders had to focus on Kaka, who took the ball forward and immediately slotted it out!

His passing line is to kick the ball into the line that Ronaldo would normally cut into.

But Ronald wasn't there, Ram was there!

At this moment. Liverpool's defence in this area has declined.

Because Xiao Luo attracted a lot of people to defend before, like Gerald and Carrick, they are all ready to encircle and suppress Xiao Luo at any time in the area, so the distance can't be widened!

So at this time, Lahmneche was not under much defensive pressure, Kaka's pass was also in place, Rahm took advantage of the rhythm difference in stopping the ball in front of Hyypia to immediately move the ball sideways, in terms of flexibility, he was much stronger than Hyypia. Then go straight to the ball and cut in the middle!

Sissoko quickly retreated into the box and Carragher had to fill in. Rahm didn't think too much about it, stepped into the penalty area, and as soon as the angle of the shot appeared, he immediately took a shot!

Reyna hastily blocked the ball, but couldn't hold it, and the ball bounced into the box.

Someone caught up with a follow-up shot when the bouncing ball rolled!

The ball flew into the goal!

The whole Liverpool team was stunned.

It seems that Millwall is not very powerful, but why did he still lose the ball!

Cristiano Ronaldo helped Millwall regain the lead! 2:1！ ”

Benitez lowered his head on the sidelines, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Change the edge!" ”

That's right, Aldridge didn't use the team as a whole to change the attack, and he didn't let the players use more individual dribbling to disrupt Liverpool's defence, because that would be more physically exhausting and more likely to be injured.

He only moved one pawn, Ram, to an unexpected effect!

At any given time, changing the edge is a very difficult offensive means to guard against.

Fortunately, Millwall has matured in the midfield position in the past two years, and the defense is more stable, so that even if the full-back is out of position, not in the defensive position, the improvement of the defensive ability of the back can make up for this risk flaw to the greatest extent.

However, changing the front must not be used frequently, that is, it has become a conventional means, which is not a hidden danger in defense, but a complete warning to the opponent: we are the biggest weakness in the defensive link of the fullback!

That will first of all make the opponent's defense accustomed to changing forwards, and secondly, it will also allow the opponent to use the space behind the full-back's assist to break down the wing.

Therefore, Millwall is attacking step by step for a period of time, and suddenly Rahm inserts the incarnation of the forward to play the most effective attack, after the end of this attack, Lahm will revert to the traditional impression of fullback, when will activate the role of the striker, it is up to Rahm to judge according to the change of shape on the field.

In the past two years, Lahm's maturity and progress are also obvious to all, just talking about the traditional full-back, he has been impeccable, of course, outsiders insist that he is not strong enough, the confrontation is slightly inferior, that is no way, his body is congenital, his maturity and progress, are on the basis of personal potential.

Liverpool were indeed a bit of a fussy by Millwall's goal.

It's not that they are instigated, but they can't be completely irrational, some problems can't be solved, for example, if Xiao Luo overturns their defense line alone, how can this problem be solved? No way to fix it!

But if it's like Lahm assisting to form a new threat point in the box, Liverpool can solve it, at least remind each other to pay attention to the opponent's hidden attacking points, how to help defend, how to protect each other.

So even if they fell behind again, the whole Liverpool team somewhat restrained their attack, and wanted to see if Millwall would continue to play like this, and they had to coordinate with each other to block Millwall's unexpected attack.

But what made Liverpool depressed was that Rahm no longer stepped forward, as if he was carrying a sword but took the initiative to hide, waiting for the opponent to relax his vigilance, he would draw his sword and deliver the fatal blow!

Changeable, the assassin among Millwall's many killers!

Not only is it a thousand-mile attack, but it also kills people without seeing blood when the opponent seems to be in the most defenseless dream of the night! (To be continued......)
