The Young Lion

If Bobby Robson's replacement method is put in ten years later, then the head coach who will make such a crazy replacement, most fans will think of one person: the madman Mourinho.

At this time, Mourinho was learning how to be a coach by Robson's side. The shadow of boldness and madness in Robson is no wonder that madmen have occasionally appeared since then.

The team was behind and there was not much time. Robson's substitution was not because he was at a loss.

In the two rounds of the Copa del Rey this season, when Barcelona fell behind to Atletico Madrid by a large score, Robson used similar crazy substitutions. In the end, Barcelona staged a miracle of a big reversal!

This is a substitution model with successful precedents.

But in essence, it is nothing more than accumulating offensive players to boost morale, frontcourt offensive advantage, team unity of thought and so on.

Everyone sees the change of the head coach, and they all understand how to play the game.

The coach has a taboo, that is, not seeking change in the face of adversity. The same is equivalent to surrender. After the change, winning or losing depends on ability and luck. At least try hard and try.

If you need a miracle, then in addition to praying sincerely, you also need to use your own actions to provide space for the miracle to happen.

Aldridge also substituted three people, and his substitutions seemed to be in an even place, but he was actually fighting for his life!

After changing other head coaches, when seeing Barcelona replace three or forwards or offensive players with forward attributes, the first thing to do is to change the central defender to increase the defensive strength in the penalty area.

But Aldridge did not do this. The defensive system is a very mysterious existence. It is difficult for the naked eye to sort out the intricate factors inside. Will three central defenders be more reliable than two central defenders?

not necessarily!

The double central defenders who defend tacitly understand their defensive areas, where the key positions are, and know the trajectory of their partners' activities, but what about the three central defenders? Sudden addition of a defensive partner, this defensive mode has not been practiced in training, and the tacit understanding is almost zero. One more person coming out does not necessarily mean an improvement in defensive strength, or it may be that one more person is added to make trouble, even if there is an extra person This person will work very hard, but virtually destroys the originally clear and solid defensive pattern.

But on the court, I have to admit that there is luck.

If Barcelona scored quickly with six or seven attacking players in the frontcourt and equalized the score, they would be in a frenzy.

Commonly known as: hit crazy!

Therefore, this moment is also a test for Millwall.

What Aldridge strengthened was the intercepting area of ​​the midfielder. The four backs remained unchanged, and the front was double midfielders. Going forward, Nedved's defense must press Guardiola, regardless of the opponent's accumulation of so many forwards. The frontcourt, but in the dense area of ​​the frontcourt, the organization will be difficult. If the defense against Guardiola is weakened, then Aldridge can even imagine what it will be like: Guardiola near the center circle Calmly dispatched, Barcelona's other offensive players charged in the frontcourt to bombard Millwall's goal indiscriminately.

Larsson and Glenshire retreated to defend. When Millwall defended, the formation was more like 4411. They would never mess up their positions because of the opponent's substitutions. The skilled defensive system would not change.

Robson stood sternly on the sidelines to watch the match. Although Aldrich was calm and composed, his eyes exuded a beast-like light.

Now that the game is here, it is really a moment of life and death!

The fans in the stands were very excited, especially the neutral fans. At this time of the game, it has become extremely exciting. Looking at Barcelona's posture, it is like breaking the boat. Can Millwall withstand the pressure? !

There are three people on the front line of Barcelona, ​​Ronaldo, Pizzi and Giovanni.

But at this time Millwall's defense was already very dense. The distance between the defender and the midfielder was only about three meters, and there were people all around. Barcelona's attack from the wing could not penetrate the ground at all. Figo and En Rick frequently uses his personal ability to create space for the ball on the two wings, but the hasty pass is not a big threat, but the most worrying thing is that it will create chaos. The chaos when the crowd is dense is the easiest to lose. ball.

Figo returned a pass to Sergi behind him, and the latter directly crossed into the penalty area with a big foot.

Elgla overwhelmed Pizzi with a header to clear the siege, but the ball went straight out of the penalty area. Stoichkov, who then plugged in, stopped the ball with his chest and then lifted his foot away without giving Ballack a chance to destroy the ball.

Fans of Wild Lions couldn't bear to watch it!

Aldrich's heart was also stimulated.

Boot has done a great job! He firmly caught Stoichkov's long-range shot with both hands! Another excellent goalkeeper appeared in Germany!

After Bout got up from the ground, he immediately observed the situation on the field.

Millwall's players did not rejoice after their successful defense, and the formation immediately changed from shrinking to spreading out.

Bout rushed to the front of the penalty area with the ball in his arms, and then threw the ball to Zambrotta on the left when the Barcelona players retreated rapidly. Larson on the left.

This side is a loophole in Barcelona's defense. As soon as Larsson got the ball, Guardiola also rushed over, but Larsson didn't try to break through, but kicked the ball from the spot to the right.

Due to habitual thinking, when Larsson got the ball, Barcelona's retreating defensive players focused on him.

But the ball was diverted to the right. Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Glenn Schall kicked the ball back into the bounds with a big stride, and then broke out at full speed. Er poked the ball forward with his toes, and then his rhythm stopped, avoiding being brought down by Sergi, and then he rode towards the Barcelona penalty area.

At this time, only goalkeeper Baia and defender Cotto remained in Barcelona's defense.

Cotto stepped back to stare at Shevchenko, and consciously blocked the space for Glenciel to cut in with the ball.

Wild Lions fans roared wildly: Jespe! Kick the ball into Barcelona's goal! Kick that damn ball in!

The fast-moving Glenshire dribbled the ball into the penalty area. He had a shot angle, and Cotto alone could not block his shot angle. At this moment, Cotto gave up Shevchenko and forced him up. Grenshall raised his foot, Cotto blocked in front of him, but saw Grenshall unexpectedly hit the ball across the middle, but Shevchenko stopped after sprinting to avoid being in an offside position.

The Czech Nedved, who can't run to death, rushed to the horse, took a step forward after receiving the ball, and Baia, who was gnashing his teeth, abandoned the goal again, and this time, as soon as Nedved made a move in the goalkeeper, he immediately lifted his foot open the door.

This is almost a penalty kick. Nedved calmly volleyed without interference and sank vigorously. The ball flew one meter away from Baia like a cannonball. The trajectory was from bottom to top. The ball almost disappeared in the blink of an eye. Flying into the goal, the speed is so fast that it is impossible to see clearly!

Millwall scored again! 3:1, 3:1, 3:1...Nedved helped Millwall score again! Will he help the team lift the championship trophy? There are only eight minutes left in the game and Barcelona are two goals behind! Two goals behind!

After Nedved scored a goal, he ran all the way to the bench. Aldridge and all the coaches and players surrounded him, and everyone hugged and roared wildly.

We'll be champions! We'll be champions! We'll be that fucking glorious champions!

Aldridge hugged every player who ran over, then held their faces and foreheads against each other, and said in a deep voice with a ferocious face: There are still ten minutes, you are the champion! Show the will and performance of a champion, and persevere until the end Moment!

Although the players were very excited, under the stimulation of Aldrich's words like witch hypnosis, when they returned to the court, their expressions became serious and resolute, like natural fighters.

When Nedved was the last to walk back to the field, Aldridge pointed to his back with both hands, and then proudly gestured two thumbs to the fans.

Wild Lion fans shouted in unison: Mad Lion God of War! Pavel Nedved!

Even more excited fans took off their clothes and stood on the shoulders of their companions with the help of their buddies, constantly waving their fists and roaring ferociously.

Anyone regret it? Anyone regret it? Writers, coaches! Are you fucking watching the game? Are you watching? Did you see the performance of Larsson and Nedved? Stupid horse! Who Dare to say that they are not the best in Europe, but the best in the world! Which team refuses to accept? Our mad lions step on you until you are convinced!

The emotions of the fans are selfish and pure, as long as the player they support performs well, then he is the number one in the world!

Barcelona's conceded a goal dealt a heavy blow to their morale. Guardiola was deprived of the captain's armband this season, but he still has the temperament of a leader. He, Enrique, Couto and others continue to cheer for his teammates.

There is still time, we can create miracles!

Barcelona's strong belief is supporting them to continue their efforts.

But Millwall did not relax in the slightest. Except for Shevchenko who was only dragged behind the center circle, the other players went back and directly participated in the defense.

Aldridge's tense nerves still did not relax. Even after Nedved's goal, the score led by two goals, he still believed that the suspense of the game was not over.

Is a one-goal lead safe? Not safe!

But what is even more unsafe is a two-goal lead!

Is such a theory strange?

Not at all, because with a goal lead, all players know that as long as the opponent scores a goal, the score will be equalized. At this time, the players will focus more on the game and avoid conceding goals.

But leading by two goals is different. Everyone may relax in their hearts because there is a retreat: even if we lose one goal, we are still ahead. What are we afraid of?

Therefore, the psychological state of a two-goal lead is different from a one-goal lead. The former is better in the situation, but psychologically, the former is more dangerous.

Therefore, Aldridge did not celebrate with overjoyed expectations. On the contrary, he reminded every player to continue to keep them fighting spirit, and there should be no slack in the slightest.

Scoring goals on the football field is just a blink of an eye. Once Barcelona is crazy, is the probability of scoring two goals in a short period of time very slim?

After being stimulated by Aldrich's spirit, the players' concentration on the game has not declined. Facing this group of opponents who are determined to perform well from beginning to end, the Barcelona players have desperate thoughts in their hearts.

It was as if they were not facing normal players.

The 11 people on the opposite side were grouped together. Invisibly, there seemed to be a king's mad lion totem roaring to the ground hovering over their heads.

Barcelona's frantic attack of superimposed offensive numbers continues, but the offensive method has become very single, passing the ball directly into the most dangerous area.

It is no longer possible to see what formation they are in. No matter what position they are, players rushed into the penalty area looking for scoring opportunities.

Giovanni headed the ball high in the penalty area, and it was far away.

The game time entered injury time, 4 minutes!

Barcelona has not given up yet. Southgate stretched out his foot and broke the ball at the foot of De La Pena who rushed into the penalty area. The opponent fell and complained for a penalty kick, but the referee ignored it.

Southgate kicked the ball forward with a big kick.

Barcelona, ​​which was empty in the rear, was surprised to find that Shevchenko had another single-handed chance!

Cotto made a mistake in judging the ball's placement because he was standing forward, and directly asked Shevchenko to turn around and sprint to the meeting alone.

The Ukrainian dribbled forward with the ball, and Baia was definitely the most unlucky person today. Barcelona's defense made him make a fool of himself.

Shevchenko chose to shoot at the line of the penalty area, because Baia had already attacked, and he chose a safe push.

Watching the ball roll to the lower left corner of the goal, Shevchenko was ready to celebrate, but there was a bang.

The ball actually hit the post and bounced out!

Shevchenko was dumbfounded, and Baia turned to play for the ball, but someone rushed in front of him and took the ball away with his feet.

Larson!

The Swedish shooter easily kicked the ball into the empty goal, then turned and walked towards Shevchenko who missed the goal. Shevchenko was stunned and a little bit disappointed at first, but fortunately Larsson hit the ball in and there was no chance. Let your single-handedness go to waste.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder and walked slowly towards the backcourt. At this time, the entire stadium was enveloped in the voice of Millwall.

The king of the European Cup is about to be crowned! (To be continued.) (m)
