The Young Lion

In the Prince Park stadium, the guest Millwall dropped the ball first, which did not surprise the audience. Even Aldridge did not think there was any problem.

Throwing the ball is a common thing, and you can’t make it in a hurry.

Before the kick-off, he made two gestures on the court, one that Southgate could read and one that the offensive player could read.

Southgate turned to look at the other three defenders, making sure that everyone nodded to understand before giving the front Trezeguet a signal to kick off.

Millwall did not quickly pull back the post to counterattack after losing the ball. The overall formation is still somewhat behind. The two defenders did not press up in the offense. Instead, their wingers pulled the edge and created opportunities through one-on-one. Mori and Shevchenko, doing what classical wingers like to do, dribble the ball and cross.

Aldrich stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, his brain running fast.

Paris Saint-Germain is not indestructible, especially their weakness is obvious.

That is, the age of players in the midfield and backcourt is either too large or too small.

Not counting the 34-year-old goalkeeper Rama, right-back Fernier 33 years old, dragged back central defender Lergan 33 years old, another front-back central defender Ngoti 26 years old, but his upswing also compensates for the decline in running ability of the lower back The 31-year-old Gailan, left-back Dominic is only 18 years old.

The right-wing forward Leroy is 20 years old, and the focus is on making up for the 33-year-old Frnier side on the defensive side. The 28-year-old Coe is obviously a counterpoint to make up for the weakness of Domi's young inexperience.

Although the front waist Lay is 32 years old, but he is mature, not to mention Leonardo on the strike line will sometimes take the initiative to withdraw and make arrangements. Leonardo and striker Loco are both 27 years old, but this pair of strikers The performance in the Ligue 1 was average. Loko, as the main striker of the French national team last summer, began to decline after transferring to Paris Saint-Germain. However, the opening goal still reflected his strength.

Aldrich’s admiration for Fernandez did not come out of thin air, only looking at the set of Paris Saint-Germain, the other party played the value of the head coach, not only the superposition of player talents on the field, but the formation of players and players. The sublimation effect of complementing strengths and weaknesses is the meaning of the team.

Although Millwall did not play an overall push, he still achieved good results in the offensive changes.

Shevchenko took the ball to the 18-year-old Domi on the right. Although he was not fancy enough at the foot, he was more than enough to eat his opponents with speed and explosive dribbling. Larson caught the 33-year-old veteran after taking the ball on the left. Fernie, although not every breakthrough can succeed, but his speed and skill still prevail.

Whenever two wingers broke through on one side and successfully went to the bottom, they always brought the ball close to the bottom line before passing. At this time, there were three points out of the middle of the penalty area, Trezeguet grabbed the front point, Ned Vader plugged right in front of the goal, and the winger on the other side also scored after the penalty spot, so Millwall's offensive play was quite vivid. Although the routine was monotonous, it threatened frequently.

"Is this Millwall? To be honest, I haven’t watched Millwall completely, but I have watched a lot of highlights of their Premier League games. Their offense should not be like this on the court. Where did the middle road organization go? Where did the wing match go? Where did the straight ball that threatened the ribs go? It's strange, does Hall fear Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack, so don't dare to invest troops?"

Not only the narrator, but even Luis Fernandez frowned.

He carefully studied the opponent Millwall, and really shocked him. He used the center back and forth positions on the defensive side. Similar to the Italian chain defense strategy, he did not expect the other party to not play the middle. The winger really played the old tactics of passing the bottom.

But what made him speechless the most was that he arranged for the wing defender to stare at the opponent's full-back assists. This can limit the winger's inward cut. As a result, the opponent's winger does not cut the ball and no longer cooperates. The defender passed the bottom pass, which forced his full-back to also withdraw to the bottom line to support the defense.

Although the team has not evened the score, Aldridge is full of confidence and the situation on the court is as he expected.

Because the opponent’s full-back could not freeze Shevchenko and Larsen, forcing the full-back to defend, and his winger went down to the deepest point, pulling the offensive line to the deepest, that is, the other full-back had to return. Retreat to the deepest, and then attack up, the running distance between the back and forth, only in your own half, back and forth is one hundred meters.

So many veterans in Paris Saint-Germain, let you run for a while!

Millwall’s two-winged offense gradually became more and more popular, which made Paris Saint-Germain lack of offensive support in the counterattack. After the transfer from the defense to the offense, there was a lack of a point. The full-backs were near the bottom line. Larsen and Shevchenko was also fast enough to change from attack to defense, so Paris Saint-Germain could only directly find Lai or Leonardo in the frontcourt, but the distance between the two ends of the attack and defense was pulled too much, which gave the defensive side With more preparation time, Makelele is closer to Lay, and there is no room for the opponent to easily take the ball. Southgate also bears Leonardo.

Paris Saint-Germain tried several personal dribble breaks from the wing and was destroyed, so he also started to try long passes in the counterattack.

Coe took the ball on the left and realized that Shevchenko behind him was about to catch up with himself, so a long oblique long pass sent the ball to the frontcourt, Leonardo leaned back on Southgate, and then Taking the lead, at this moment, Elgra, who guarded Loko, stepped forward wisely, and Schneider and Capdevila of the line also took a step forward in a tacit understanding.

Leonardo didn't have many choices, he couldn't finish the ball turn, because Barak had rushed from the front, so he chose the header to make the ball. He consciously pushed the ball to the side where Loco was.

After he finished the header, he looked down on the ground, and really saw Loko stopped the ball in the chest and then faced the goalkeeper Bout.

The spectators at Prince Park Stadium held their breaths and were preparing to appreciate Loko's goal when the referee suddenly stopped playing.

The referee signaled that Rocco was offside!

Loko still shot the ball out, but Bout did not make a save and turned back to the goal to check out the ball.

Rocco angrily protested to the sideline, but no one ignored his growl.

Southgate nodded at Elgra, and the understanding between the back line partners is very important.

In addition to allowing the winger to pull deep to consume the opponent's physical strength, Aldridge is also a strategy to suppress the starting point of the opponent's attack, and also allows the back defense to use offside tactics.

Because of Rai, Leonardo likes to stick the ball under his feet and do more actions, then they will spend more time in organizing the offense. As long as they make good judgments when they are robbing, then wait for the threat from the other side. When the opponent striker will fall into the offside trap.

Time passed by one minute and one second, although Paris Saint-Germain was still leading, but they felt more and more pressure, and the audience in the stands also saw that the signs were wrong.

Both sides were completely exploded.

Dormy, Vernier is not a match for Shevchenko and Larsen at all.

Fortunately, the quality of the two men's cross is not too good, otherwise they will have scored.

However, it is not a way to keep playing like this. The situation on the court is changing rapidly. Who dares to ensure that the next pass will not make a ghost hit Millwall's attacking player's head and become a goal?

Paris Saint-Germain’s offense also fell into the quagmire. Lay lost the magic under the envelope of Makelele and Barak, and the full-back could not attack, which allowed Millwall’s full-back to compress the middle defense. Paris Saint-Germain's offense was cut and fragmented by Millwall, relying on singles alone, obviously unable to pose a threat. In the second half of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain's frontline frequently fell into the offside trap.

Thankfully, the first half is over.

Fans hope Fernandez will make some adjustments in the second half to improve their defense and offense.

There are only less than three thousand mad lions fans coming from afar in London. They are drowning in the stands of the Prince Park Stadium and have anxiety on their faces.

The team fell behind, which made them very upset.

At halftime, in the locker room, Aldridge gave Nedved special tactics for the second half.

"Pavel, according to our offensive direction, you have to do more activities on the corresponding side. No matter on the left or the right, you have to go to meet Henrik and Andre, and intersect the offense by interspersing the running position, which will reduce We threaten directly in front of our goal, it doesn’t matter, when the game reaches 60 minutes, I will give you a signal, when it is time for us to rule this stadium!"

The team lags behind, but the players are full of spirits, and their spirits are still full of spirits. Nedved nodded firmly and shouted: "I know!"

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. Millwall's offensive routines remained unchanged. Paris Saint-Germain was still breathless, and no obvious changes were made. After all, Fernandes's moves are not much, and the team leads. Halftime also prevented the opponent's offense, he did not want to mess with himself.

In the second half, Nedved moved from directly threatening the opponent's goal to attacking.

His extensive running in the frontcourt, playing with Larson and Shevchenko on the side of the counter, made Millwall's offense very smooth, but the threat in front of the goal was reduced, resulting in Millwall's attack. Minute.

Aldrich stood on the sidelines, and his focus was not on his own players, but on every Paris Saint-Germain player.

Those veterans in their thirties were breathless from the start of the second half. Even if they were defending in the backcourt, they rushed back and forth and stopped running back and forth.

Most of the old and strong players know how to allocate physical fitness reasonably, especially when the game is flexible. When their team is attacking, the defensive player can rest for a while without assisting, but Millwall can repeatedly hit the wing and defend. Players can only struggle back and forth, often within twenty seconds of a siege, Millwall's offense is coming to the city, which leaves them no time to breathe.

Aldrich is most concerned about the other two players, right-wing forward Leroy and left-back Domi. These two players, 20 and 18 years old, are about to be crushed!

Le Roy assists Fernier to defend Larson, but Nedved has no resistance at all, especially Larsen or Nedved's speed after taking the ball. He even has a chance to foul. No, Dormy was even more miserable. She was shocked by Shevchenko. A bad foul made him get a yellow card, and his expressions looked a little helpless.

When the game reached the 60th minute, Aldridge watched the veterans of Paris Saint-Germain panting, and the young players were mentally exhausted again. He thought the time had come.

Pirlo, who warmed up on the sidelines after the start of the second half, was called in front of Aldridge, and then assigned him the task after the game, the focus was on defense, and Pirlo did not need to be reminded offensively.

In the 63rd minute, Millwall made a substitution.

Pirlo went up and Barak went down.

This is Aldrich's signal.

The players on the court were shocked and everyone knew how to play next.

Aldridge greeted Ballack off the court, patted his shoulders in praise, and then turned back to look at the stadium stands, his eyes became sharp and sharp.

Parisian, the game is just beginning.

Millwall came here as the protagonist!
