The Young Lion

The Aldridge of 1994 can't be compared with the Aldridge of 2002. Regardless of coaching experience, ability, keen insight into the game, on-the-spot command and decision-making, etc., the latter is definitely better, like cultivation, Or leveling, which was just a fledgling newcomer at the time, but now it is purely kung fu, and is regarded as a generation master by the outside world.

For the same reason, Mourinho in 2003 and Mourinho in 10 years cannot be compared.

Mourinho now is not always in "utilitarian football", "anti-soccer", "bus representative" and so on. Opponents such as crazy criticize the magic bird in the vortex.

This can also be seen in the technical and tactical system of the Porto team.

I haven't played 433 yet, I haven't used double backs, I haven't relied on modern wingers, etc.

Porto last season and the previous season, two consecutive seasons in the domestic league runner-up, this is only after the last half of the season, Mourinho entered the main, and he fully coached the first season, he took Porto Back to the peak of the Portuguese Super League.

Porto can be said to be the best in Portugal, but in the European War, the European secondary cup and the UEFA Cup are the stage. In Europe, there are not many top teams in Europe. Because of this, Porto is very smooth. , To achieve hegemony in the country, came to the stage of the UEFA Cup finals.

Mourinho did not change, and he was not completely led by Millwall. He still displayed the usual 442 of Porto. His posture did not fall. Will it be as he wishes in the game? It depends on the specific trend of the game.

From this point of view, Aldrich believes that Mourinho is now really "crazy". This kind of madness tends to be arrogant, just like he was in the Premier League in the original history, first of all derogated Ferguson's achievements in the Premier League. And he did not actually surpass Ferguson in the Premier League. At least, Chelsea is in his hands, and he has not even achieved three consecutive league titles.

Mourinho is a real strong man, not because of the potential black whistle criticized by many people in the Porto 03-04 Champions League, and not because of the case of the manipulation of the referee's black whistle in the domestic league of Porto in 2008.

It's just that if Aldridge fears Mourinho today, then he is really alive!

On the day he personally experienced as Aldrich Hall, in his mentality, Aldrich had more or less the consciousness to give Mourinho a chance to get off Mawei.

Mad, needs capital!

He doesn't mind coming to help Mourinho understand the reality.

"The 02-03 season of the UEFA Cup final is about to start. The two teams in this final are the new division league champion Porto from Portugal, and Millwall who has just ended the consecutive championship in the Premier League. Millwall came to the final and Not surprisingly, after they were eliminated from the Champions League at the end of last year, some media predicted that Millwall would come to the UEFA Cup final. After all, Millwall's overall strength stands out in the UEFA Cup. Here we come Look at the starting list of both parties.

Porto 442.

Goalkeeper: Baia.

Guards: Ferreira, Jorge Costa, Carvalho, Valente.

Midfielders: Alenichev, Kostinia, Deco, Maniche.

Forwards: Del Rey, Capuccio.

Millwall 433.

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.

Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho. "

From the beginning of the game, Millwall completely occupied the initiative on the field!

Mourinho was ruthlessly supervising the battle on the sidelines, watching the opponent's players steadily pass and cooperate on the court. This system is clear at a glance. The players are distributed in a reasonable position, the distance is kept moderate, and the transfer rate of the ball is gradually accelerating. When attacking the four in the frontcourt, Porto's defense is in jeopardy!

Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, Henry.

Only these four people, everyone's foot skills can be locally impacted, bringing local changes, and they, with a strong teamwork consciousness, Alonso and De Rossi in the midfield and backcourt simply pass the ball The ball supports the overall system, like the spine of the team, Schneider and Ashley Cole infested with assists, squeezing Porto's formation continuously into the backcourt, while Porto was embarrassed, defender, middle In the field, less than 20 minutes into the game, even the forward involuntarily pulled back to defend.

No way, seeing that the team is struggling to defend in the midfield and backcourt, the team-conscious players will actively invest in defense and support teammates.

Twenty minutes later, Mourinho froze his face, disguising his inner panic.

In Porto, the entire technical and tactical system was destroyed!

Defense, four-backs, one-on-one, joint defense, absolutely can't resist Millwall's magical attack group. This is also the case where Millwall stars have not yet played their own power, because Millwall has made the ball transfer rate fast to Porto. The thin defense line is difficult to coordinate quickly.

Porto’s two wing players, Maniche is good at long-range shooting, and his defense is okay. However, he is best looking for opportunities behind the striker. When participating in defense and being suppressed in the backcourt, Porto did not have an absolute speed advantage to play an effective attack. .

On the other side, Alenichev on the right is a winger, and his speed is very fast. Unfortunately, he encountered two major problems in this game. The first is a serious injury, that is, his own physical fitness is not good, the second This is Ronaldinho on his side!

The single-back waist Costinha is Mourinho's highly trusted general, with a large defensive area and amazing interception efficiency. However, it also depends on who the opponent is. If he runs into Nedved, he can't die. There are some difficulties, and Deco's back defense is needed to fill the empty. When Ronaldinho Ronaldo or Nedved is transposed, whether it is to mark Ronaldinho or to fill the defensive empty, Costinia can not take into account the side defense. Relying on Ferreira, can Ronaldinho be prevented? So Alenichev had to return to the defense. He ran on the line of defense and attacked? Both sides are almost gone.

In addition to Deco, he is an offensive organizer in the Porto array, but he is not a field-controlled organization midfielder. Even if the Porto defense is successful, he gets the ball and gives him very little time to play. Alonso and De Rossi, with Nedved back in defense, if the wing teammates did not run into place, he would be difficult to make an effective organization. In fact, his speed is not special. Therefore, the Porto attack and defense system was blocked by Mill. Wall destroyed and chaos. In the past, they met opponents in the Portuguese Super League and in the UEFA Cup. They can play in an orderly manner according to their own will. Today, this internal order that they are familiar with is completely disrupted.

In the first 20 minutes, Millwall players played an absolute sense of team football on the field, without special emphasis on individual play, which is one of the styles Millwall has finally cultivated over the years.

At the beginning of the game, first of all let the players of the whole team become active. Taking the root of the team is also a way of comprehensively oppressing the opponent and paralyzing the opponent. Then, on this basis, based on the observation and understanding of the first 20 minutes, the focus is on local The article is premised on the fact that their team is still unable to break through the opponent's door while the team is active.

Porto’s tactical discipline and teamwork are still quite impressive, otherwise, it has been impossible to resist Millwall’s highly penetrating teamwork.

In the 24th minute, Ronaldinho began to show his power. After winning the ball for the first time in the game, he began to master his own rhythm. Before that, he was working with his teammates to make the ball run at a very fast rate.

But this time, he slowed down and controlled the ball in place. When Alenichev and Ferreira wrapped him back and forth, he deftly passed the ball behind Ferreira. At the same time, Ashley · Cole sets the bottom and controls the ball in front of the bottom line behind Ferreira. Ferreira withdraws to defend. Porto's entire defense line also moves towards the bottom line. Ashley Cole does not rush to pass. When Ferreira approached, he suddenly passed the ball back to Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho has stopped driving, and Alenichev's defense against him is virtually useless. Ronaldinho took the inside line and stepped on the horizontal line of the penalty area. When Costinia and Deco rushed to him at the same time, Ronaldinho Passed the ball diagonally back to Alonso who followed up. The latter kept the ball obliquely plugging the ribs on the other side of the penalty area and got rid of Valent's Larsen empty cut in the hinterland of the penalty area. Seeing that there was already a shooting opportunity !

The Porto defensive line quickly rushed over to Larson. When the shot was made, Larson did not shoot and then passed the ball back to the penalty spot. When the Porto defenders turned back, they only saw the ball flying like a meteor in the line of sight. Goalkeeper Baia reacted unresponsively and the ball rolled out of the goal.

Nedvěd bombarded the door with a heavy blow!

"Millwall leads the ball! This ball is simply wonderful. Millwall played a pleasing team cooperation in a small space with the opponent's multiplayer recycling area. First Ronaldinho tore on the left Opening the opponent's defense line disrupted all the opponent's marking rhythm, and then the offensive shifted to the right. Larsen had a chance to shoot, but he was not greedy, and he gave the ball to Nedved, who is better unmarked. The latter slammed the door without giving Baya any chance to save. At 1:0, the game so far, Porto and Millwall are not at the same level at all!"

Mourinho's face was sinking into water, and he could only cheer the team on the sidelines, so that the team should not be hit by losing the ball.

But what about himself?

Has it been hit?

At this time, should it be recalled?

In a certain period of time in the past, the European media came to the conclusion: in the face of Millwall, first of all can not be a double forward.

The definition of this double forward is a real forward, a fake forward, and a true forward.

Because if you have double forwards, your midfield and backcourt layouts, no matter how platoon formations, can't give the whole game an advantage, even the balance is difficult to maintain.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal are at 442, but Manchester United’s Solskjaer and Fanny’s partner in these two seasons, Arsenal’s Bogkamp, ​​the former can return to the penalty area before the defense, and the latter at least almost back with the central midfielder. The defensive position is almost the same. In this way, he has not yet taken advantage of the field. Manchester United defeated Millwall by relying on the positioning ball.

Mourinho was not reconciled. He thought that Porto even though the player's personal strength is worse than Millwall, but he naively believes that the Porto he has tuned out, the overall strength of the team after the chemical reaction should be able to compete with Millwall.

It is undeniable that the Porto team is very strong, but the effect of Millwall's team chemical reaction has been well-known in Europe for a long time!

It is also possible that Milwall's internal turmoil this season has caused the outside world's assessment to decline in this regard.

But in the end, on the stage of this UEFA Cup final, Porto has no way to fight back!

Millwall scored a goal, the score was ahead, and the eclipsed star group throughout the season began to explode!

Say goodbye to this failed season?

Or greet the new splendor and can't hold back the passion that burst out?

Aldrich stood on the sidelines as steady as a mountain.
