The Young Lion

Speaking of Blackburn’s coach, in the early 21st century, not many fans will remember him, understand him, even if it is a new generation of local fans, if there is no Red Army DNA, I am afraid he knows very little about him, only This is an unknown Scottish coach.

However, 24 years ago, he set a new record for the transfer fee of the English club. In the era of players, he joined Liverpool and formed the Liverpool gold midfielder at the time, and served as the core. It created the unifying English domestic stadium at that time and established a red army in Europe. !

His name is Soneness, Graeme Sonnes, and his first season with the Reds was when he assisted Dalglish in the Champions League final and scored the winning goal for the Reds to top Europe!

In that era, he was a shining star.

It is conceivable that he and Dalglish are people of the same era. How brilliant the player era is, coaching is two different things. As a player, he can despise Aldridge, but as a head coach, just like his former teammate Dalglish In that way, losing to Aldridge, there is no need to be dissatisfied. A lot of old rivers and lakes are the defeat of Aldridge. In the field of coaches, he has only led Liverpool in the last five leagues. Just got an FA Cup.

The advantages of older coaches are experience and shortcomings, that is, outdated ideas, not keeping up with changes in the times, and lack of innovation.

Moreover, the longer the immersion time in the past era, the more easily they are bound.

For example, influenced by the style of British high-flying and high-playing, Dalglish returned to the rivers and lakes ten years later, and the Liverpool technology and tactics he led obviously failed to keep up with the times. Instead, he showed signs of retro regression. The reason why Ferguson succeeds is that he also maintains innovative thinking like a young man in the column of the old coach. Manchester United failed to transform this season and suffered a miserable end, but the determination and will to change from Ferguson is just this courage and Thinking, it can be seen that it is extraordinary. For others, don’t say if you have the courage to try, I am afraid that you will not think of breaking through the innovation revolution.

In the end is Sone's fear of Millwall playing attrition? Or is he not willing to be beaten and passively beaten?

Only he knows the answer.

Perhaps it is the player's career plus the experience accumulated before his coaching career that affects his thinking.

Aldridge had the opportunity to confront Sonnes in the first year of the Premier League. Unfortunately, it was at that time that Sonnes and Liverpool's seniors collapsed and immediately left. They did not return to the Premier League to coach Blackburn until 2000. .

The match in the league, Millwall vs. Blackburn, this is obviously a strong and weak confrontation, and Millwall did not accidentally brush a winning streak on Black itself.

Due to the continuous defeat of Millwall in the previous league, Sonez had to arrange anti-anti-tactics in this final, but when the game was in progress, he overturned this arrangement by himself, and then, Blackburn lost the ball .

Sonez stood on the sidelines and had mixed feelings. When their old friends met privately, Dalglish said: I am lucky than you, because when I coached Newcastle United, Millwall was not as strong as it is now. The crazy lion makes the opponent feel desperate.

Sonez listened then, but he dismissed it.

Dalglish is outdated. He took a slap in Blackburn, but in Newcastle United, he went to the Celtics as a technical director a few years ago. He also joined forces with the former coach Barnes. Called the perfect combination, the result? The Celtics' performance was a disaster. Barnes was fired. Dalglish personally played for the Celtics. As a result, he was beaten by the rival Glasgow Rangers by more than 20 points at the end of the season, and the latter O'Neal only used After a season, the Glasgow Rangers were reversed, and the Celtics were brought back to the throne.

This is the reality gap. The reason why Sonnes would think so, because he had wonderful memories in Scotland. At the beginning of his coaching career, a basket of championships was won in Scotland. The team he leads is the Celtics rival Glasgow. Wanderer.

It wasn't until standing on the field of the final that Sonez knew how far he was from Dalglish.

This gap has nothing to do with coaching ability, but the realm.

Dalglish has always looked at Millwall with a king mentality.

Sonez led Blackburn to face Millwall in the past one and a half seasons, and belonged to two worlds. Blackburn lost and no one would care about it, just like Crystal Palace lost to Manchester United. Is it true that fans and club executives, the ball Inside the team, will resentment sky? Will be extremely angry?

No, everyone is not a one-level team. The weaker side does not have that sense of crisis and loses. It seems to be taken for granted.

In the finals, the meaning is very different, the sense of crisis, the desire to win, the meaning and pressure brought by the champion, so that Sonez's attitude towards the game has changed dramatically.

He had to think about it, had to look at Millwall and Aldridge again, and had to do a lot of things that he would never do or think about when he played in the league.

But it was after such a change in mentality that he realized that Dalglish was telling the truth!

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to wake up. Now that Blackburn is one goal behind, he can only do one thing and desperately let the team attack!

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Southgate led the back line, with Gattuso Alonso as the first, the overall back line was pushed forward, and in the midfield, Blackburn was madly forced to grab. After the interception was successful, quickly To launch a fast break.

When Blackburn didn't expect it to be his mad attack, Millwall didn't take it back to fight back, directly strangling their midfield organization to attack, and then turned the gun and killed them by surprise!

Ramall again!

He observed the ball on the left for a second and then sent a long diagonal pass from the side to the penalty area.

Villanice went straight to the goal after the goal, the opponent's defender turned and could not keep up.

At a very small angle, Villa dared forward and jumped, facing the falling ball and flicking his head to the goal. The ball flew into the goal from the middle of the goalkeeper who blocked the corner of the goal.

After heading the goal, Villa fell out of the bottom line and could not care about anything else. He turned his head directly to see the sideline. The sideline did not raise his flag to indicate that he was offside. The referee also whistled his finger in the middle to indicate that the goal was valid.

Villa stood up and rushed to the side, kneeling and celebrating.

"Good thing! Villa helped Millwall lead Blackburn 2-0. His brave and trembling head dive is really wonderful. I believe he must have a very high appreciation when he freezes his head at the small angle in the air. , A few years ago, the outside world thought that Villa would be another excellent youth training product of Millwall, but it was not until this season that he reached the height that people expected. However, now for him, it is just the beginning, just Is the beginning."

Aldridge rushed excitedly to the side and waved his arms to celebrate, staged assists for Lamor who scored twice, and Villa who scored a header, which made him very excited, which further proved the strength of the crazy lion, not only The names that shine in football, and these players who cannot divide the light of big-name stars, their growth and progress represent the future of the team and a good addition to the present.

At the end of the first half, Millwall led by two goals.

Sonnes was awakened by the second goal drop. He walked into the player’s channel with a sullen face. Now the team is going through a difficult situation. He knows that it is impossible to help the team to reverse by simply attacking. He needs to think calmly Countermeasures.

With the team leading by two goals, Aldridge naturally has nothing to adjust. The key is that the difference in strength is probably obvious. He can't see any good plan for Blackburn to deal with Millwall.

Before the start of the second half, Aldridge returned to the coach seat to sit, his expression was calm, this is his usual attitude, the game does not end, he will not show victory gesture in advance.

Sonez returned to the stadium calmly as well. He stood on the sidelines and said that he was not in what mood. He was slightly anxious and looking forward.

Worried that his tactical changes will be ineffective, and looking forward to bringing the team a victory.

After the start of the second half, Aldridge watched the game for 5 minutes, and suddenly a bang.

Blackburn has changed!

Long pass!

This tactic may be outdated in the contemporary era, but it will never be outdated!

Because there will always be "a long pass to the opponent's danger zone, the striker seizes the opportunity to finalize".

The formation will be outdated, but the tactics will not. No matter how old the tactics may be, the tactics that were used a hundred years ago are not used by anyone today. It is just because the tactics used to be too simple and now richer. The former core tactical system is now only one. The components of a set of new techniques and tactics do not mean that the past tactics have disappeared.

Blackburn is playing a long pass and can take advantage of their players, that is to be strong and strong!

When the Premier League is popular in Asia, Chinese fans will call Blackburn a violent book. This is not because of the style of the ball, but when Cantonese translates the team name, Blackburn’s translation of Cantonese is similar to the violent book. Know that winning the Premier League Blackburn of the championship, the technical and tactical play is very pleasing.

It was only after the relegation experience. In the environment where the British League relies on physical confrontation to survive, Blackburn recruited. The team’s technical and tactical rebuilding is necessary. It must conform to the living environment. After returning to the Premier League, in order to relegate, hands The cards are not good, so in order to survive in the Premier League, the style of the ball is slightly rough and tough. This is not uncommon. Among the relegation teams in national leagues, there are always teams that can only rely on physical confrontation and aggressiveness. The title is also more impressive because of their current status, but the root is not here.

In this season, Blackburn is relegated without worries, so he can’t commit himself to fighting with other opponents on the court, and endless endless hatred, especially the tough and rough style, is the most likely to cause disputes in the field. There is a big gap between the "violent books", but their players are in good health. This is a strength, and it should be played.

"This opponent's intermission is really a bit of work."

Aldridge sighed with emotion.

Klinsmann said with a smile: "Sones has figured out some factors that he should understand or think of before the game, and he finally wants to understand at halftime."

"Now playing like this, Blackburn may not have a chance."

Aldridge was talking, the situation on the field was abrupt.

A high ball came from Blackburn's backcourt. In the midfield area, Gattuso failed to grab the landing point for the first time, but there was no Blackburn player there, so the ball continued to bounce back after the ball bounced, and fell second The point will be in the area between the large restricted area line and the small restricted area line.

Materazzi and the opponent's striker turned around to chase down the landing point. Materazzi was one step ahead, but the other party fell under physical contact.

The referee whistle to stop the game, finger penalties.

Materazzi went to grab the second landing point, naturally he didn't care what happened behind him. At that time, how could Kung Fu look back, he controlled the ball, but saw that Schneider was not in position, but turned towards this side Trotting over, the direction was not right, he looked back and found that the referee had stopped the game, he realized that he was awarded a foul and gave his opponent a penalty.

Materazzi picked up the ball with an innocent grin, he was grumpy, but this really made him confused, and he was sentenced to foul without knowing what he did. In fact, his first thought was that his teammates had Who fouled, only to find that the other teammates seemed to be non-party to the head referee to protest, he realized that he was fouled.
