The Young Lion

Today's arrogant visit to Schalke Stadium, Millwall fans cheer very monotonously.

More than 30,000 Millwall fans occupy nearly 2/3 of the seats in the stands.

They are never used to sitting and watching the game. Even if the English stadium is ordered to be a seat after the release of the Taylor Report, they are still used to standing and enjoying the game.

Before the start of the game, all Millwall fans stood up, the blue jerseys painted the stands as blue oceans, and even many Porto fans wore home jerseys, blue and white, and also communicated with Millwall fans in color embellishments. Ying Chenghui, unfortunately, Porto is wearing an away jersey today.

Millwall fans stood in the stands, held up the club's "Hall Age" 10th anniversary commemorative scarf, and sang the team song in unison.

Although the method is monotonous, the scene is extremely shocking.

This is an English fan culture, a feat that the fan groups around the world are competing to imitate.

Players from both sides entered the stadium, the theme song of the Champions League echoed in the stadium, but it seemed unable to contend with the singing of Millwall fans.

"The exciting Champions League final is about to start, and Millwall, who has steadily passed the group stage this season, has entered a state of soaring after entering the knockout, just as they achieved the last round of the league to reverse the momentum of Arsenal’s championship, they doubled out and eliminated Bayern Munich, slaughtered Monaco and Chelsea in a big score, came to the Champions League final in a swagger! And their opponent Porto, under the leadership of Mourinho, made rapid progress and successfully defended in the Portuguese Super League. , And achieved a huge breakthrough in the Champions League this season, impressive, although in the group stage home defeat to Real Madrid 1:3, but then they gradually get better, 10 games remain undefeated, at Old Trafford German lore, Manchester United, Mourinho’s wild celebration really makes people feel that the media now makes a lot of sense. Comparing him with Sir Hall, Mourinho may lack some luck. Last year’s UEFA Cup Returning from hatred, Sir Hall has been playing in UEFA for ten years. If Mourinho’s tenth anniversary of coaching, can his achievements compete with Sir Hall? 99% of fans think it is impossible Because Sir Hall has four Champions Leagues, Mourinho only led the team to win the finals today, maybe it is possible to compete with Sir Hall on the tenth anniversary of his coaching. Porto overall performed well, Eliminate Manchester United, Lyon, A Coruña, these are opponents with higher gold content, this dark horse from Portugal, can it be black in the end? This is the biggest suspense in today's game!"

"The ceremony before the kickoff of the Champions League final has been completed, let's take a look at the starting list of both sides.

Millwall 433.

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.

Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.

Porto 433.

Goalkeeper: Baia.

Guards: Ferreira, Costa, Carvalho, Valente.

Midfielders: Mendes, Costinha, Deco.

Forwards: Alenichev, Delle, Maniche. "

Although the commentator said that Porto called 433.

In Aldridge's eyes, Porto played 451.

Because compared to Porto when they played last year, there has been a major change in the technical and tactical formation.

That is to reduce one forward and one more midfielder.

Mendes is a defensive midfielder who partnered Kostinia and escorted Deco in the middle.

Maniche and Alenichev are naturally not wingers. If the wing forward may be slightly more accurate, at least today, they must be responsible for the main wing defensive tasks.

On the front line, Mourinho did not choose center McCarthy, but used the Brazilian Delle, the striker erratic in the frontcourt, similar to the opportunistic striker, the most suitable counterattack.

After the disastrous defeat of the past year, if Mourinho still has a tough fight with Millwall today, then Audric can really ignore Mourinho.

In fact, Odric had already foreseen Porto’s starting lineup today.

In the past 6 knockout games, they have continued to use small means to gain the benefits of the game. Playing Porto, which is extremely utilitarian and anti-reverse, coming to the final will only be more utilitarian.

It can be said that Mourinho's tactical idea of ​​going to Chelsea to build a **** blue army was naturally laid in this period. He cannot be an ideal pursuer now. After a week, he went to Chelsea and became utilitarian. Representatives.

When the game started, the Porto formation quickly withdrew and compressed the backcourt space to form a close protection for the restricted area. Audric bowed his head and smiled.

As expected.

Mourinho came to fight back.

As for how to fight back, it should be clear at a glance.

Deco is the core of the offensive and defensive conversion, licensing forward.

Maniche, Alenichev, Delle, these three are the offensive response point, as long as there is a huge free space, Porto's fatal counterattack will come suddenly.

Aldrich will never ignore Deco, nor will he despise him because Ronaldinho has covered up all the light even if he went to Barcelona in the original history, because the comparison of the fans is incorrect.

Robbie Jr. is stronger and undisputed.

But Ronaldinho did not defend Deco. When Deco attacked, the defense line constructed by Millwall's defensive players had to be penetrated.

What is the sign that Millwall’s third-generation mad lion is beginning to mature?

That is to control the field!

Let the opponent not be able to counterattack the threat.

How do i do this?

Compress opponent formations!

Today is the final. Millwall did not chase and fight fiercely as soon as he came up. Instead, he passed the game steadily to enter the game, and then passed through the midfield. The formation gradually pressed forward. In this process, Alonso is the most critical. .

He is a key figure in the midfield transmission command. When he risks a wave of threatening attacks, he needs to observe the situation on the field.

A good commander will find the opponent's vacancy, and then quickly attack the opponent's weak defense.

However, more mature, master-level organizers and commanders with field control ability will look at the overall situation, take one step and see three steps, anticipate the defensive dangers that this offensive failure may bring, and weigh the pros and cons in an instant.

If Porto’s formation is not extremely compressed, then Millwall’s offensive attack is not successful, they may tear Milwall’s defense by a quick counterattack to form a threat offensive.

However, if the overall formation is compressed in the midfield and backcourt, the counter-attack distance will become longer. Whether it is a pass-cut cooperation or a personal breakthrough, this counter-attack process will give Millwall more time to lay out the defense line and adjust the defensive center of gravity. Wait.

Pirlo is a master commander, not only can control the overall situation, but also directly instigate the most threatening offensive.

Alonso is inferior to Pirlo in this respect. Aldridge cultivated Alonso this season, focusing on the overall situation. In terms of instigating the offense, as long as Alonso can serve as an "indirect assist", the attack launch point The role is enough, that is to say, he may take into account the overall situation and find that he can ensure that the opponent’s counterattack threat is minimized, but it is already difficult to find empty space, then his task is only to hand the ball to the area with relatively less defensive pressure , Choose one of the three directions from the left, right, and then, the offensive broke out, handed over to Ronaldinho, Nedved, or Larson to initiate, or even two full-backs.

The main contribution of Alonso's midfield and backcourt commander is overall stability!

Even if Millwall is unable to attack, he is not worried about being counterattacked, because when Alonso controls the rhythm, he is gradually consuming the opponent and compressing the opponent's formation to the second half to ensure that Millwall will not be beaten. Unprepared, the defensive player turned his head back quickly but failed to catch up.

Mourinho stood calmly beside the coach seat, but he was not calm at all.

The game, 10 minutes passed.

Porto, only launched three attacks and then died!

The overall formation was completely compressed in the second half.

Millwall's defensive strategy is similar to last year. In the middle of the road, Deco is mainly targeted. When being counterattacked, Ronaldinho and Larson harassed Porto's two wingers on the inside because the ball did not leave the dangerous zone. There is no answerer in the middle and can only be brought forward, but it is only brought to the half. This really fell into the situation of the lonely and oligarchs. Ashley Cole and Schneider did not fail to defend, and Porto weakened. The striker, De Rossi courageously defended the wing, Alonso and Nedved contained the midfield back and forth, Porto's counterattack, when the forward attack erupted, it seemed that he had kicked an iron plate and looked at the very wide Offensive space, but Millwall will not give them much time to choose. Before the players who come up in the backcourt are in place, they must make a choice, pass, break, break, fail, guard the ball and be destroyed.

Mourinho couldn't help but glanced at Audric, without any traces of movement, even without twisting his neck, just squinting in the afterglow of observation, subconsciously.

The young coach who coached the tenth anniversary of the mad lion has also created a stunning super first-class strong team!

He thought that Millwall would play very fast today and use poor rhythm to destroy Porto.

But he guessed wrong.

If the blitzkrieg blitz beats really, Porto’s counterattack will have a lot of room to play.

Always fast means high turnover rate.

This is the same reason that short pass is more stable than long pass.

Millwall will be fast, but first is slow!

Slowness is their foundation, their fence, and the protection against enemy invasion.

The midfield and backcourt system headed by Alonso is the main core of the slow. They pass the control to make the foundation of the situation on the ground change.

Shaped a situation that Millwall could accelerate.

Then let the frontcourt players or the wing players accelerate, and it is not difficult to change the rhythm of one slow and one fast. The difficulty is that slow and fast can maximize the benefits of the team's game!

Aldridge seems to be the fusion of cold water and hot flames on the third generation of mad lions.

Midfield and backcourt defense is the sea water, to quench the opponent's offensive flame.

The offensive flame in the frontcourt is to melt the opponent's defensive walls!

Mourinho has been thinking for a long time, he does not know how to make the team better offense, dare to move to pursue the offense, maybe the defense will expose a huge empty.

Longitudinal comparison. Is Porto now stronger than Arsenal?

of course not!

Whether it's team chemistry, or individual player comparisons.

Can their midfielders be compared to the combination of Vieira and Silva?

Can their offensive combination compare with Ibrahimovic and Bergkamp?

Perhaps the defender line can be compared with Arsenal's defender line, including goalkeeper Baia.

But they have to defend more extremely than Arsenal and compress the backcourt space more utilitarianly. At the same time, they also have small moves to prevent Millwall from accelerating the offensive in the frontcourt. They all use their extremely concealed means to bring them A certain improvement in defensive quality.

This made the scene seem that Millwall, although he dominated the situation, had difficulty opening gaps in their defense.

Millwall seems to be in a melee fight!

The battlefield is in Porto's half.

Nedvěd accelerates the ball diagonally, and Deco raises his arm slightly behind him and pulls the hem of Nedvěd’s jersey for two seconds before letting go.

Ronaldinho just turned the ball on the wing, and Alenichev went directly to the gap between Ronaldinho's ball combination, not the ball, he was faster than Ronaldinho's foot, not the rusher, he would definitely fly, he It is the point between the ball and the ball, so that when Ronaldinho moves, he will collide with Alenichev, and then Ronaldinho will be entangled with him.

When Larsen runs inside, Valent will not let out the outside. He defends the inside. As long as Larson can't completely throw him away, Valent will definitely use a small angle in an angle that the referee cannot see. Raising his arms in front of Larson prevented him from starting an accelerated outbreak.

Henry was even fouled after throwing off Carvalho's running position and receiving the ball. The referee signaled Henry to hit Carvalho with his arm.

At that time, Carvalho first defended Henry with a half-hugging action. Henry got rid of his entanglement. His arm seemed to be free of the opponent's hands, but Carvalho fell to the ground after Henry got rid of...

Aldridge looked at it, and suddenly walked to the fourth official, said: "Hello, did UEFA receive complaints from Manchester United, Lyon and A Coruña? Or, the official UEFA press release Will it be useless, don’t care what the coach said? If so, I will apply to stop attending the UEFA press conference in the future, it is a waste of time, Porto is playing you, you can’t see it? I need to remind you One thing is that Millwall is the team with the best court discipline in the European competition in the past three seasons. We have the fewest fouls per game and the lowest card rate, which means that we are just and serious in following the spirit of competitive sports. Let us be disappointed, even angry."

The fourth official turned his head to look at Aldridge and found that the young master smiled at him, which was originally quite stressful, and it was easier to take a deep breath.

At this time, Mourinho also came over.
