The Young Lion

After the birth of Kosic's goal, the live camera immediately began to capture the focus. In addition to the scoring Kosic was pressed by the teammates Luohan in front of the Millwall goal, the expressions of Millwall players were also swept by the lens.

Then, Aston Villa coach seats came out with a vote. Brian Little was naturally the protagonist. He clenched his fists and yelled with a smile. He seemed to be very excited about the effectiveness of his tactics.

In the end, it was Aldridge, but the scene captured by the lens was incompatible with the hot atmosphere of the stadium.

Aldridge stood calmly on the sidelines. He used to show some anxiety in the command that was easy to interpret, but now, instead, he calms down as if he has nothing to do with himself.

The players will glance at the sidelines and see that when Aldridge's movements naturally let them go to the kick-off, each player quickly recovers their fighting spirit from the blow of the goal.

Seeing Aldridge's current action naturally reminds them of what Aldridge said before the dressing room.

Behind, this is the worst situation, but we are not unprepared.

In fact, Aldridge was not calm at all, not at all.

Even overturning the river and cursing the sky cursed the gods, and there were accidents on the football field. For example, if Milosevic's long-range shot was a little off, there was no corner attack.

Aldridge is just a mortal complaint. After venting his heart, he needs to calm down quickly.

He can't panic, if he panics, he can not only help the players on the field, but even spread panic to the players.

The drop of the ball just now can be avoided. It can only be said that Millwall is still very young, and some defensive tactical details have not yet been honed and mature.

When appropriate, foul tactics are enough to change the situation.

Most of Millwall’s players are model players who are “disciplinary and law-abiding”. Even in the role of Makelele, who is mainly responsible for defensive tasks, he does not bother to use endless fouls to kill offense. His defense is a This kind of art, while destroying, is elegant.

Millwall players are not without fouls, but they are accustomed to frontal defense. For example, Lucas Neal, who has the most number of cards per game on the team, his fouls always come from the aggressiveness of frontal defense. Temperament is often born by the player, not acquired. The counter-example is that many "Mr. Good" want to be more fierce, but always give people the visual effect of tigers.

Tactical fouls are also a key part of defensive training. Millwall also focuses on developing the awareness of players, but this instantaneous judgment of electro-optical flint is not the coach saying a few words, the players can immediately be perfect, In short, experience.

In the stands, Aston Villa fans sang higher and higher, while Millwall fans were confused and panicked.

Could it be that the wait of 110 years has not come to an end?

This lost ball hit many fans, even Brady, the leader of the fan organization, stayed in the stands for a moment, until Yiwen around him chanted Millwall's name with a clear and sweet voice, before he let him go back. God came, and then greeted the palms like a beast and shouted Millwall's name.

Arthur and his old friends stood in the stands and had not sat down since entering the field. He wore a scarf around his neck and wore a Millwall jersey. When there was silence around him, he was a little bit careless. He looked sneered at the surroundings and said: "Have you all written badly? Didn't you throw a ball? I saw Millwall's game almost two thousand games, is it strange to throw the ball first? Look at your counsel! Shameful! "

"Arthur, Fuck! This **** is the League Cup final!"

A man who looked ten years older than Arthur said in lesson.

Arthur sneered without looking back: "What happened to the final? If Millwall lost today, did you **** off your jersey and get out of East London? I'm curious, why don't you lick Arsenal Butthole? They have played many finals and won many championships in the past. Isn't that what you want?"

"Arthur! Do you **** want to fight?"

"Thirty years ago, I was able to beat you to find your teeth, and it will do today! Would you like to try it?"

"Damn shut up!"

The most prestigious among these old men is not Arthur, who is now rich, but an old man with white hair. He looks almost sixty years old. He is not tall and strong, and his wrinkled face is not angry. Wei, he was also the little leader of the old men who was on the street in the past. After three years of jail, he changed his spirit, but his gangster was not a little. His scolding immediately made Arthur and the fighting man obediently. The flag is over, the boss Yu Wei is still there.

Papa!

"Milwall!"

Papa!

"Milwall!"

The white-haired old man said nothing more, shouting Millwall's name after raising his hands high-five.

Soon, there was a consistent shout from this quiet stand.

Millwall resounded through the sky again.

Now this game is the worst for Millwall.

Aston Villa has taken the lead, proving that their tactics work, the players' tactical execution will be more consistent, and they will not even move to attack.

Aldrich was thinking about countermeasures on the sidelines, breaking the dense defense is nothing more than the three axe, breaking the long-range positioning ball, and he can't help but emerge in his mind the best team to break the dense defense more than ten years later: Barcelona Dream Three.

But he quickly shook his head to deny the idea of ​​following Barcelona's tactics.

The core of Barcelona's tactics is ball control. Guardiola's control of the ball is like falling into devil's control. Of course, this is inseparable from the example of Barcelona's godfather Cruyff.

"There is only one ball on the football field. When you firmly control the ball, your opponent can't score."

This is the core of Barcelona's football philosophy.

Millwall will also play short pass penetration, will also play after the winger, plug in, midfielder and forward player transposition and other details, but the football philosophy is essentially different.

Aldrich does not seek to control the ball, but to pursue a shooting opportunity.

When the player has a chance in front of the penalty area, he encourages the player to shoot, without thinking too much, without having to think about another pass in his mind, just shoot.

It can’t be said that football based on controlling the ball is boring and boring. At least players who play on the field play tricks with their opponents through twenty-thirty or three passes and finally score goals. For the players who are among them, It will be very fulfilling, it is simply art.

But from the point of view of many neutral fans, they spend money to watch the ball is to see the joy, it is to watch the goal, it is to watch the exquisite long pass, it is to watch the personal technical ability display, it is the goalkeeper to save wonderfully, not to go back and forth to watch A short pass of 5 to 10 yards. When a shot within the range of the goal needs to be built on the basis of sixty or seventy foot passes or more times, Aldridge feels that such a football is difficult to survive in England because it will Let the enthusiasm of the fans decline, causing visual fatigue.

What he is after is high-efficiency offensive football. If he can hit the ball with one foot, don’t use three feet. Although this will reduce the control time of the ball and give the opponent more offensive opportunities, it is also football. The charm is, and he is not afraid of the opponent's offense, risk always coexists with opportunity.

What he was most afraid of was like Aston Villa now.

Looking back at the bench, Aldridge glanced at the backup striker, Solskjaer.

The baby face that can be edged can be used to fight back on the basis of leading.

Barack and Vieira are one after the other, there is no problem in the midfield, and there is a lot of room for scheduling.

Aldridge did not prepare for the full-back, but instead of goalkeeper Bout and a central defender, Materazzi.

Neither Richards nor Elgra was on the bench because he thought Materazzi was more ferocious, whether it was to replace Southgate or Stam on the centre back, against Milosevic , Materazzi's body and aggression can be shocking.

Aldridge looked at the time. One minute after the first half stoppage time, the referee would immediately sound the whistle at the end of the first half.

Aldridge walked to the bench and said to Materazzi: "Marco, warm up here at halftime."

Everyone on the bench froze, staring at Aldridge incredulously.

The team is behind, you let the central defender warm up?

Southgate and Stam were not injured and did not have a yellow card. Did they change to center defender at this time?

It was also difficult to blame the two central defenders for the ball loss just now.

Why exactly?

Materazzi, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, jumped out in a vest and immediately warmed up on the sidelines.

At the end of the first half of the game, Aldridge and other players walked into the player tunnel one by one, and then he called Neil and dragged him to the locker room at the end.

Neil was sweaty and Aldridge didn’t mind the sweat on his body. He embraced his shoulder and said seriously: "Lucas, you did well in the first half today, but I can only give you five minutes in the second half. time."

Neil turned his head to look at Aldridge and asked: "Boss, what do I dissatisfy you?"

"No, I said, you performed well, and replacing you is a mistake in my tactical layout before the game. If you try again, you will still be the starter and will play the whole game, but for the whole team, I must You replace it, this is for tactical reasons, not based on your performance, I hope you can understand and make sacrifices for the team."

Neil was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, five minutes, I will try my best."

"Lucas, thank you."

Aldridge can only explain a little bit. He has no more time to comfort or relieve Neil. He can only communicate openly and honestly. Fortunately, Neal accepted Aldrich’s substitution decision. He is a precocious Player, Aldridge appreciates his professional attitude.

He is not a coach of his own style. If he replaces Neal in the 50th minute of the game without saying a word, this will have a great psychological impact on the players. The worse case is that it will affect the coach and the players. relationship.

Aldridge was ashamed, so he took the initiative to apologize and explain, which allowed Neal to accept the head coach's decision.

The second half of the tactics was deployed in the locker room. Aldridge did not encourage morale during the intermission, because at this time, he needed the players to calm down, not just kick with a rush, calm mind Adding a steady state of mind and unyielding fighting spirit is the most important quality for adversity.
