Chapter 1210： Pinnacle battle

When Aldridge welcomed Guardiola at the Lion King Stadium, he had to lament the years.

When he led the rise of the mad lion in Europe, Mourinho was still a teaching assistant, and Guardiola was one of the four famous talents.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them comforted each other in the Netherlands in the summer of 97 and became world-class marshals, and Aldridge was not the kid who fled in the beginning of the year.

Guardiola, who led the team to the Lion King Stadium, was as thin as ice. He walked into this Mega Europe stadium and listened to the deafening home momentum. His face was completely relaxed.

Aldridge chatted with him for a few words, and there was no business communication. Normal courtesy greetings.

Before the game started, the two coaches stood on the sidelines. Guardiola was expressionless, and his heart was thinking: This away game will be extremely difficult!

In addition to the strength of the team, there is also the distribution of team energy. Millwall has a strong lineup. In order to prepare for this game, in the past a league and a FA Cup have sent off the bench, and Barcelona are in La Liga and Real. Madrid struggled inseparably. Real Madrid, who was eliminated from the tournament, concentrated on competing in the league and put tremendous pressure on Barcelona.

Coupled with Millwall sitting at home and waiting for work, Barcelona's transcendent skills and tactics system in La Liga, itself does not have much advantage in front of Millwall, using Fleet Street to build momentum: Barcelona is just learning Millwall.

Players from both teams entered the stadium head-on, and the atmosphere was detonated.

"The semi-finals of the first UEFA Europa League is about to start, and Millwall, who is back in the European War, will play against the last Champions League champion Barcelona! There is no doubt that this will be a peak battle, let's take a look at the starting list of both sides.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Ram.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.

Forwards: Messi, Aguero, C Ronaldo.

The main striker Villa missed the game due to injury, but he will rush back to the injury before the second round. This is the information released by Millwall today.

Barcelona started 433.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Guards: Alves, Puyol, Pique, Abidal.

Midfielders: Boutix, Yaya Touré, Harvey.

Forwards: Pedro, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta. "

In order to increase the defensive hardness of the midfield, Guardiola was afraid of Millwall's offensive firepower and deliberately put out the midfield combination of two big players, Boutix and Toure, and Iniesta moved to play as a winger.

Pedro is a player who does not seem to be particularly obvious, but his performance under Guardiola is amazing, and the killer role played in this system is clear at a glance.

In the summer, Eto'o and Ibrahimovic exchanged transfers. However, according to the current degree of integration of Ibrahimovic into this team, or to adapt to the team's system, this transfer is not particularly successful.

Millwall didn't have much problem here. Villa was recuperating and Aguero played a fake center.

From the perspective of the strength of the two teams, Millwall is slightly stronger and indeed better than Barcelona, ​​but it will not open a particularly obvious gap. It can even be said that the gap between the defender line and the midfield line is very small, and the gap is on the front line. on.

But the striker needs to be supported by the midfield and the back defense!

Without a solid defense, the offense alone is difficult to support.

Without the support of the midfielder, there is no way to attack.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Aldridge raised his chin slightly on the sidelines, his eyes sharp and sharp.

In the Lion King Stadium, against Barcelona, ​​he will fight the battle of the right!

Millwall, who has been away from the European War for two years, must cut down the division of the European King who won the Grand Slam last season!

have to!

This is the beginning of the restoration of the dynasty!

Barcelona's proud pass control did not play out in this game. Here, Millwall uses a more active running, better physical advantage, and a more tacit teamwork to firmly control the ball!

When Barcelona obtained the right to attack, although it was mainly based on transmission and control, in front of Millwall, it seemed to be axe in the class.

Because they only pass the control in the midfield and backcourt, to the front line of the offensive end, completely unable to score!

The third-generation mad lion's defense requirements are slightly rigid, with the midfield as the boundary, and the joint defense in the midfield and backcourt area, and Barcelona also abandoned the high position they are good at!

Dare not!

Never dare to **** high position!

Millwall can hold the ball in the midfield and has a long pass. He dares to invest in high-level snatching. Then his backcourt is too large, and Millwall's offensive speed is the best in the world. The risk is unimaginable, it is simply to open the door and let the opponents stay on the ground!

Perhaps in the eyes of the fans, Millwall and Barcelona met without a particularly passionate confrontation.

Because both teams are in control, the roles of the two sides switch back and forth between being suppressed and being suppressed. They will fall back and forth for a long time and pass the ball. If the ball rights are not exchanged, I am afraid that it will really make people sleepy.

In this kind of control, the higher and lower skills of the two sides gradually appear in front of the public.

Barcelona mostly pass back and forth in the midfield and backcourt. Once a threat penetrates the attack, they can’t pass more than three feet in the dangerous zone, but Millwall can control the midfield and shape the offensive situation and then develop the attack to the dangerous zone. Create a shot, threaten to shoot!

Guardiola was very annoyed by the team's performance on the sidelines!

Although from a technical point of view, Barcelona's ball possession rate is equal to Millwall!

However, most of Barcelona's ball control is invalid!

Failure to create a ball that threatens to attack is ineffective!

The acceleration point of the game is often on the side of Millwall!

Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, and even Aguero.

Only when Millwall formed a good offensive situation with the overall cooperation, their stars began to accelerate, so that the audience immediately excited.

There are also moments that make the audience a little nervous.

Will you score?

Will the well-ordered game situation get completely out of control? Fall into a dogfight?

At such a tense moment, the scene suddenly made Aldridge laugh.

Kaka broke through the dribble in the middle and was defended by Booths. Butkocks intercepted the ball with a slow shot. Kaka passed by quickly. He started to pull Kaka's arm. Kaka was used to it. He flicked his arm away, and then Boutske immediately fell to the ground, and he rolled!

While falling to the ground, he covered his face with his hands. After rolling, his hands covering his face opened a small gap, and his ecstatic eyes turned to the head referee. Want to see what the referee would do?

The referee blew the game!

Also looked at Butzkes in the first time.

However, the referee's eyes are quite helpless.

Kaka is very angry!

It is common for him to be pulled against his arm or jersey, and his speed is too fast. The effect of pulling the jersey is not obvious. Physical contact is the most effective way to prevent acceleration.

So he flicked away to form a habit of pulling his own movements, but his backward swinging movement has never been higher than the shoulder position, and even practiced the habit of just swinging his arms backwards.

If Buzzkes was covering his chest or ribs, that would make sense.

But cover your face?

What touched his face?

Kaka thought that the main referee would stop the game and he would be fouled. He was about to protest with the head referee. As a result, he saw the referee walked in front of Butts and showed a yellow card.

The position of the head referee was just fine. He saw the pulling action of Boutix. If Millwall's offense was favorable, he was ready to blow the penalty. Then Boutix covered his face and fell to the ground, exaggerating I played a roll, this is a blatant play with the referee!

Boutix immediately stood up and just started to defend. The referee shook his head slightly at him, meaning that he didn't want to listen to what he said. If you just make trouble, don't blame Lao Tie for mercilessly giving you a red card.

After determining that the opponent was fined and received a yellow card, Millwall fans in the stands were mad.

Probably, there are also factors that have been infected by Aldridge on the sidelines.

The young man is really smiling, and applauding like in a comedy!

When he saw that Boutskes couldn't remember Professor Ya's horn, now he suddenly acted like this, and Aldridge smiled directly.

Guardiola walked seriously and negotiated with the fourth official on the sidelines, as if to convince people, and negotiated well with the fourth official. When he returned to his position, he patted his arm with the fourth official.

The game situation is already unfavorable, Guardiola does not want the team to be dissatisfied with the referee team because of the extra action.

Where is it?

Lion King Stadium!

In the face of Millwall, using unconventional means to obtain favorable punishment, is this not self-defeating?

The refereeing committee of the European Elite League has made three orders, and players must be honest in the arena! For fake throws, exaggerated performances and the like, it is precisely hit hard!

With the passage of time, Millwall's home advantage became more and more obvious. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Millwall played an elaborate cooperation in the frontcourt. Alonso, Ram, Cristiano Ronaldo left in the frontcourt Road formed a triangle pass combination. After a round of pass coordination, Ronaldo cut the middle and swapped with Aguero to interfere with the opponent's defense.

Aguero knocked the ball back to Kaka on the middle road behind Cristiano Ronaldo. At this time, Kaka, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo formed a new triangle pass combination in the front right area, but the position was already close. The opponent's restricted area!

Kaka transferred the ball to Messi's feet. Messi found the passing space after breaking through Abidal and sent a pass to the top pass. Cristiano Ronaldo jumped in the middle of the penalty area to head the ball!

The ball went straight to the corner of the upper right corner of the goal. Valdes flew to the end but failed to touch the ball!

Millwall leads Barcelona at home!

1:0.
