The Young Lion

Seeing that the team lost the ball again, Real Madrid’s frontcourt stars couldn’t conceal their disappointment. Losing the ball is equal to a blow. This is inevitable, but in the face of a blow, there are two effects, either destroyed by the blow, morale Low, or stimulated by the blow, to stimulate the ambition to meet the difficulties, the reason why Millwall team does not care about losing the ball, because in the face of losing the ball, they have cultivated the usual mentality of attacking back, let the other party pay the price.

This was shaped by Millwall's consecutive victories and soft championships.

At the present stage of Real Madrid, it is naturally impossible for the morale of a ball to drop due to a lost ball, but the difficulty of the game has been increased by another layer, from the need to score 3 goals to become 4 goals.

After the kick-off, Real Madrid reorganized the offensive and Zidane played very generally from the beginning of the game. It cannot be said that it is bad. It can only be said that there are no bright spots.

His organization area starts in the area before and after the midfield. He will not make too many dribbling breakthroughs. Discussing explosive force alone. Breaking through that time, he is not top-level. His top-level is stopping, controlling, and protecting the ball. Passing, so I often see that he will organize a cross pass, and then insert himself.

This is his style and habit of playing football, avoiding weaknesses, he runs forward, and his teammates pass the ball back to him, then he can play the ball, control the ball, guard the ball, get rid of it in a small area, Tear open the opponent's defense line to find the advantage advantage of being empty.

The advantage lies in his horizontal pass, which ensures the pass success rate and offensive stability. At the same time, he can stop the ball and take the ball to continue the offense. This is an integral part of the attack system with a guaranteed success rate.

When it comes to field statistics, people always say that Zidane of the national team is better than Zidane of the club, but in international competitions, the number of direct assists and the number of goals scored by Zidane in the main game are very common, but he It’s still important. It is conceivable that he is not the fatal pass of the sports game and the role of the Terminator. Even if he scores some important goals, his role on the field actually ensures the efficiency of the attack, not the most intuitive attack. Threat.

Zidane played well in the last game because of a half-and-half defense in Millwall’s midfield. Zidane crossed in midfield and inserted himself before coming to Pirlo, Gattuso’s defense. In response, Pirlo can basically play a harassing role, and the rest depends on Gattuso's frontal defense. Zidane has the space to show his ability.

But in this game today, Nedved retreated. Whenever Zidane organized an offensive and then advanced, Nedved and Pirlo were in front of him. The two did not go to grab Zidane. This is a point that Millwall emphasizes in defensive training.

This makes Zidane feel tricky in the front waist area.

In the dribbling breakthrough highlights of many superstars we have seen, we often see a similar situation, such as aliens facing three or four, or even more defensive players rushing forward, aliens shaking continuously, the original Turn around, pull the ball and pull the ball, change the rhythm and break through, then a person directly penetrates two defensive lines and breaks through at least three defensive players.

In contrast, some defensive masters' defensive highlights, such as Maldini and Nesta, when they are defending, they never rush forward to rush forward to grab the ball in advance, and they will always see the player with the ball breakthrough first. When the ball left the foot and moved forward, or at the moment when it changed direction, it was accurately locked by the defensive master, and the ball was destroyed by the tackle at the worst. It was clean and splendid.

This is the essence of frontal defense. It is also the reason why defense is an art in Italy. The player's defensive habit is not to **** or even cling to the opponent. In defense, the main goal is to "start later". Whether it's moving or kicking, your body's center of gravity is handed over at that moment. Even a master like Zidane, even if you are facing your back, you stretch your feet to grab, he can pull the ball elegantly and turn around. Open your defensive center of gravity, when your body's center of gravity returns to balance, he has changed from facing you back to passing you.

The more faced the players are, the better the defensive players can't lose their center of gravity, so some later screenshots of the game, such as the picture of Iniesta being sandwiched by 6 and 7 opponents, means two layers, one The first layer is his strong ball control ability, the second layer is that the defensive player is actually doing well in place. In that situation, the defensive player is stuck in the position to block the route, and he can't stand. Whoever moves first will give the opponent the opportunity .

Zidane encountered such a situation today. Nedved, Pirlo, and Gattuso will not rush to grab him, so they will get stuck. Zidane does not have the explosive power to eat his opponent, so he needs Helpers, only Figo and Raul can play a role in the frontcourt.

However, Raul's defensive pressure on the striker position is greater than Zidane.

Figo went from the side, Millwall's defense was very stable. The more the opponent's offense developed towards the goal, the less space the offense could play, but Figo could at least ensure that he did not lose the ball. Then go to the side or take a long shot on the periphery.

If he gave the ball to Solari, it would be dangerous. He came to help Zidane share the pressure, but he faced huge defensive pressure. Pirlo also consciously blocked the pass between him and Zidane. , Solari’s creativity made him insufficient to cope with such a scene, so he was the player with the most mistakes in Real Madrid’s attack, the pass threatened the ball to no avail, the breakthrough was intercepted, the ball was brought to the dead end and then passed to his teammates, changed Into a knife mountain ball.

After 30 minutes of the game, Zidane couldn't do anything in the middle, and he started to develop to the side. Seeing this scene, Aldridge felt that the game could sit back and relax.

In fact, Zidane’s performance in the national team is exceptionally outstanding, and the role is obvious. It is also related to the tactical system. Behind him, there is a tough double waist. The French national team is not the kind of play that oppresses its opponents. Therefore, when the offense and defense are converted, The pressure and the space that Zidane encountered in the offensive are very impressive. Bosque’s last platoon formation was also an attempt to transplant the French team using Zidane’s method. There were both Makelele and Elgra. The midfielder escorted Zidane, but unfortunately the back line Pavin was too unreliable, but in general, Zidane's last performance was still very good. In some important offenses, he participated in the period, even if It is a transfer ball, all showing his ability.

But in this game, Real Madrid not only had to attack aggressively, but also weakened the defense, Zidane's play was restricted, and there was also the reason for Millwall's change.

He pulled to the side and passed the ball to find Morientes. In the end, Southgate got the header and the front door opened wide.

After Gattuso stopped the ball, he turned directly and passed the ball lightly. It was like a clearance, and it was like a pass. There was only one Solari left in the midfield. He turned to chase the ball and suddenly found that Nedved was very good. Quickly keep pace with him and get the first touch in front of him in two steps!

In an instant, Millwall turned from defense to attack!

The rate of transition between offense and defense can be described as a blink.

Makelele will not rush to grab, it is certainly not wise to try to break through in front of him.

Makelele will definitely come up at this time to block the area where Nedved is advancing, but Nedved quickly passes the ball to Larson who runs out of space to meet.

Larson, who got the ball to the right in front of the penalty area, kept the ball. He kicked the ball and made a cross to Kaka who was going to the penalty area.

While Kaka touched the ball, Henry cut from the left to the middle of the penalty area, and Hiero followed closely. Henry's diagonal run in front of Kaka helped Kaka create a corridor that broke through the long drive.

Almost at the moment when Henry took Yero away from the diagonal run, Kaka broke the ball firmly from the position behind Henry.

Hierro did not look back, knowing that Kaka had entered the penalty area from behind him, and Salgado returned to the defense from the side, apparently slowed by a beat.

Yero turned around to detour Kaka to block the angle of his shot, but he was just about to rush over and the ball rolled over behind him.

When Hierro turned around to find Kaka, he was shocked to find that the ball was gone, and then turned back, he was shocked to see Henry kick the ball and kicked the ball. At the moment he finished shooting, Elgra slipped in front of Henry. Cesar flew to save, the fingertip was half a meter away from the ball, and he could only close his eyes in despair, the ball rolled into the dead corner of the lower left corner of the goal!

"Millwall went to the next city and it was Henry! We saw Kaka, who pointed his finger to assists for him as soon as he scored, and Millwall played really well at home today. From the beginning, Real Madrid has no power to parry, triangle pass, cross position, this is the excellent quality Millwall showed in this attack, simple and smooth, fatal blow, in contrast, Real Madrid's offensive routine is cumbersome and inefficient , They can only threaten their opponents from the wing."

Bosque saw that the team lost the second ball of the game, he knew it was impossible to reverse!

The coach dropped his head and said to his assistant suddenly, "Millwall's skills and tactics are really unsolvable!"

His assistant was also frustrated, saying: "It looks like this, pure defensive midfielder, they have, we also have, but they also have a Pirlo, organized midfielder, not only the organization area is far from the danger zone, but also compression when defending The role of offensive space is to disrupt Millwall's play. We must have at least two B2B all-around midfielders like Nedved in the midfield. Every time Millwall is turned from defense to attack, he always feels better than us. There is one more person, that is Nedved, who has him on defense and offense, and he does not enter the penalty area today. He just stayed in the front waist zone after passing the ball. Once the wind is wrong, he must turn around and go back to defense. We The attack and defense conversion rhythm with Millwall is poor, not an opponent at all."

Bosque sighed.

The outside world said that this is a considerable battle of the century. Perhaps it is only the reputation of the players on paper.

What are the advantages of Real Madrid in terms of athleticism in real games?

Overall speed? Team understanding? Organizational efficiency? Running?

In Bosque's eyes, Aldridge might be merciless.

If Aldridge is willing, Millwall does not need to play too much advantage, focusing on the overall defense, coupled with diligent running and speed, Real Madrid will definitely die.
