Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Leeds United are quite proactive in their tactical stance, but from a strategic point of view, they are inferior.
Elland Road is their home stadium, they play home first, if they can't get a good result in 9o minutes, they will be away from the Lion King Stadium in the next leg, don't say what the outside world thinks, at least they themselves may not believe that they can create a zĂ o miracle at the Lion King Stadium.
Pirlo's swing in the initial area of activity was limited, and he took the initiative to make a change, making the decision to drop back and get the ball in the playroom.
When he was further back and almost took the ball in front of the back line to comb the team's attack, Smith and Viduka did not dare to rush up, so they could only retreat to block the offensive line, and the most important compression was the area around the midfield.
As a result, Andrea Pirlo was able to hold the ball and pass was a guaranteed success rate, but the problem was that every Millwall attack turned into a positional battle from the back line.
In the hustle and bustle of Elland Road Stadium, Aldridge appeared, in fact, Leeds United players are still quite jealous of Millwall on the field, actively scrambling, running in a wide range, the characteristics of the English team can be seen in them, however, when playing offensively, Leeds United is a little timid, for fear that the offensive investment is too large and it is too late to defend.
Kelly and Hart, two full-backs, inexplicably made three long passes in front of the back, leaving Aldridge confused.
The two of them played the same long ball routine, both from the full-back area to the full-back area, and the attack was played in front of Millwall's full-back area at the first time, but the two wing-backs of Leeds United fell into isolation after receiving the ball and quickly lost possession.
If the attacking team kicks the ball into a "dead end". Leaving teammates isolated, then the offensive routine has a problem in the first place.
Aldridge was unaware of the way the full-backs played the ball so irresponsibly. Whether or not it is allowed by O'Reilly.
But if Leeds play a non-threatening rush like this, Millwall's defence will be much easier.
Aldridge gestured to Pirlo on the field and gave him a gesture.
Pirlo saw it and nodded.
The fact that the other party restricted his initial activity space did not mean that he was fixed in that area invariably, and in the process of adaptation, he chose to retreat, and now, Aldrich asked him to step forward. It was a choice, Pirlo sought stability, and Aldridge gave him instructions to take risks.
In such a fierce game, Leeds United's own vision of the "perfect bag circle" has a certain effect, and the most critical release point to break this bag circle is Pirlo. If you make a fuss on the front line, almost the whole Leeds United team is put into defense in the positional battle, and the space for the front line itself to be compressed is extremely narrow.
Pirlo attacked in the 32nd minute. Gattuso played the ball from behind Pirlo, who suddenly didn't drop back to get the ball, disrupting Viduka and Smith's man-to-man defence.
Viduka saw Pirlo cross the halfway line and he gave up, Smith didn't. However, since Pirlo itself is forward, the start is much earlier. Smith became a catch-up from behind.
After Pirlo won the ball in the half, Nedved was originally defended by Cahill and Darkett, but instead of supporting Pirlo, he ran farther away from Pirlo.
Cahill saw that Nedved did not go over to connect with Pirlo, so he took the initiative to intercept Pirlo, he just moved two steps, Pirlo will also face the bag, Cahill in front, Smith in the back, Pirlo still passed the ball out, the direction of the pass made Cahill suspicious.
The ball was still passed in the direction of Nedved, but it should have been too late!
He made sure that Nedved was not there to come to help, but he turned his head and immediately regretted it.
Nedved's run away was actually a means of confusion, he saw Ronaldo running to the middle, so he simply switched positions with Ronaldo, and between the lightning and flint, Cahill in order to stop Pirlo, but let Ronaldo have the ball to get out of space.
Xiao Luo faced Dacourt, even the flower work was saved, directly passed a crotch ball, the ball passed between the legs of the French giant, it was amazing, Xiao Luo passed the ball just right, and even better, the ball was passed to Henry, Henry was running back with the ball on his back, facing the incoming ball, he also opened his legs, and the ball rolled between his legs.
Matteo, who was following Henry, was reaching out to destroy the ball when Henry leaked the ball, but Heng used his body to resist and carried it, his foot did not touch the ball, and the ball rolled behind the two.
Ferdinand never dreamed that this ball would be such a trajectory directly penetrating Mateo's defensive zone, he was shocked, and he exclaimed in his heart, who originally sealed Nedved's running position to create an offside position: It's over!
If Henry slammed the ball and plugged it through, Nedved would have been offside, Ferdinand just saw Henry running back, and Mateo followed, so he deliberately stepped forward and hung Nedved in an offside position with Nedved in and out.
But Henry doesn't touch the ball, which is equivalent to Xiao Luo passing directly, and Nedved is not offside at all!
Such a ball, through the defense, Nedved rushed to the penalty spot to get the ball, it was already a one-handed situation, Leeds United goalkeeper Martin abandoned the goal, Nedved nudged the ball to the right, Larsson pushed the empty goal!
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Leeds United disastrous first goal at home! Ronaldinho's clever pass penetrated the Leeds United defence, Nedved faced a one-handed selfless assist to Larsson, Millwall scored a valuable away goal, and the game was not even played at half-time, Leeds United seemed to have come to the edge of the cliff! â
The stands at Elland Road were silent.
It was a big blow to concede a goal at home.
The corners of Aldridge's mouth raised slightly, Leeds United's idea is very good, the two strikers retreat to harass Pirlo's organization and limit Pirlo, which is tantamount to destroying the core of Millwall's offensive and defensive conversion.
However, without a double midfielder to protect the backline, Millwall only need to crack the situation where Pirlo is trapped, and the attack will immediately create confusion when the attack advances to the front.
Keeping Pirlo moving forward is a risk, but the benefits of taking a risk are the most intuitive. As soon as he went up, the defensive circle in front of the Leeds United penalty area was broken. Leeds United's defensive division was divided, and Millwall's attack group gained more space, and it was in that fleeting moment that Leeds United's defence was destroyed.
I have to say, Xiao Luo's ball is passed,**!
O'Reilly was visibly on fire on the sidelines.
But his anger was clearly not directed at the goal, and he had been very emotional on the sidelines until then. constantly making various gestures, shouting and reminding the disciples on the field, Aldridge didn't understand what was being requested, and there was no unified standard for the gestures of the head coach to command on the spot.
O'Reilly's eyes lit up, and the team's conceded goal was indeed a blow, but he was even more dissatisfied with the team's attack.
The game lasted more than thirty minutes. Leeds United's established tactics have not been played once!
This group of players obviously has psychological baggage, or is afraid of Millwall, or obsessed with reaching the final and suffers from gains and losses, defense is instinctive, but the consistency of attack is divided.
O'Reilly is not wrong to reach the Champions League final. Or even a cup with fantasies?
This is only his third year in charge of the team, and although he has not yet won a trophy, he is far from the young coach next to him who has been compared many times, but if he can lead Leeds United to the final and win the cup. He, David O'Reilly. Will be among the top coaches in Europe!
The top four in the English League and the top four in the Champions League, such a record is worth looking at the whole of Europe? Who can proudly claim on the stellar resume of a manager: I am a top-four and Champions League semi-finalist manager? That would only be a laughing stock!
The champion is the capital of the name.
Top league titles, European champions, continental international champions, that's what a top coach is measured by.
One step, two steps, success!
On this penultimate step, who would give up easily? Who would be sloppy?
In order to prepare for these two games, O'Reilly simply forgot to sleep and eat, and frantically studied the video of the Millwall game, this kind of research has long been out of the scope of league competition, after all, the league has 38 rounds, only two games have been played, and now the two games of the Champions League will be the chance to win the battle, win Millwall, get the ticket to the final, that is the famous Armageddon!
O'Reilly won't be willing to fall here, Millwall can face these two games calmly, Leeds United can't!
If you are not crazy or demonic, what can you do to compete with Millwall, which is invincible in European football!
The conceded goal unloaded the psychological baggage of the whole Leeds United team, coupled with O'Reilly's excited body movements on the sidelines, and the dead stands rejuvenated, cheering Leeds United with passion.
In fact, if Leeds United falls to the Champions League semi-finals, this is already a glorious season for the club, but only for Leeds United club itself, looking at England, the entire European football world, if it does not reach the top and does not become the king, how can there be any great achievements to show off?
Leeds United restarts, the pace of the game is still very fast, the British team to Millwall, Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams as representatives, in the European football restore, at this stage is not relying on the European style of football, but to promote their own characteristics, physical fitness, confrontation, high-tempo under the scramble, than art, they are far from the opponents of many European giants, but to the extreme, you can lay a piece of British color.
After the goal, Millwall played a little relaxed, trying to control the game, which is what Pirlo is good at, fast and slow in moderation, and caught the opponent off guard with one fast and one slow.
Today, Millwall played a civil war in England, and it was inevitable that there would be fierce physical confrontations, and Leeds United were quite ferocious in this regard, and all the players in the team were not afraid of confrontation.
It wasn't until the 43rd minute that Aldridge realized that the long pass between Kelly and Hart was not their blind long pass to the "dead end", but that the attacking players of Leeds United failed to form a unity of thought and did not play a tactical effect.
And this time, they did.
Hart made a long pass in the backfield, Schneider was originally in the right position to mark Colwill, but Colwell ran, and Viduka, the striker, instead pulled the side to receive the ball, Schneider was depressed, the opponent was strong and more than ten centimeters taller than himself, and Viduka passed the ball to Smith who came over to answer after stopping the ball.
Gattuso followed, Smith didn't dare to stop the ball at all, and directly kicked the ball straight to the left side, this is a triangle pass, Colwill took the ball to the bottom, Materazzi stuck the inside, Schneider also turned his head to defend, Colwill passed back outside the penalty area, Cahill suddenly inserted, broke through Pirlo's defense and entered the penalty area, Gattuso just wanted to help defend, Cahill shot at 45 degrees.
It was a tricky half-high ball, and Pagliuca made a flying save to block the ball with one palm, but it was too far away for him to reach the extreme, and the ball was blocked on the left side of the penalty area near the bottom line.
Colwill had the advantage of his own position, following up with a volley from Schneider before a sliding tackle to send the ball into the top corner of the net from a tight angle.
