Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 569 Incomprehensible Fast Break

Sevilla is still very strong, and their offense is quite Spanish football-passing, penetration, fast break, coupled with the local press in the frontcourt, they use the constant squeeze of the opponent's space to create opposition. A favorable situation for one's own offensive.

They also invested more troops in the attack, and pressing and counterattacking on the spot would also bring a lot of trouble to the opponent.

In this game, Sevilla has the belief of winning. The meaning of the game is different for both sides. It is the first time for Millwall to win the Champions League and the first time to participate in the Super Cup. Sevilla is defending the league title. After winning the European Super Cup, I also hope to successfully defend the European Super Cup.

Facing the strong Sevilla, Real Madrid and Barcelona will have a headache. If they insist on playing against each other, the result of the game will be somewhat uncertain. leading edge.

Millwall is different.

It's hard to say what kind of football style Millwall is. Under Zhang Yang's tactics based on system capabilities, Millwall has long since broken away from the so-called "league style". The basis for tactical play is player ability, Millwall style It represents the overall ability.

The new 352 is very focused on offense. The game has just started, and Millwall has launched a massive offensive.

Both teams put on an attacking posture.

The competition has become very intense from the very beginning, which surprised the media quite a bit.

The British media are looking forward to Millwall's performance, while the Spanish media are surprised that Millwall has the courage to play against Sevilla. In their view, it is equivalent to giving up the game, just because Millwall is an English team.

An English team actually played against La Liga's top Sevilla?
Haha!

The judgment of the Spanish media comes from "empiricism". Under normal circumstances, even Manchester United, Arsenal, and La Liga teams will defend for a period of time, and even choose to defend and counterattack the whole court, so as to have the best chance of winning. It is absolutely unexpected that Millwall is not an ordinary team. Even from the perspective of Millwall's performance last season, it is completely wrong, because Millwall has always been improving, and this season's tactics have become more offensive. Naturally, he is not afraid to fight against his opponent.

Now Millwall prefers to play against opponents who are good at attacking.

Seville, just right!

If the opponent is Barcelona or Real Madrid, Zhang Yang has to hesitate, whether to defend for a while, Sevilla is always worse.

This game is a good time for the 352 formation to play!

----

When both teams are actively attacking, the game becomes very entertaining.

On the field, the wonderful cooperation was played again and again, and the fans in the audience cheered uninterruptedly. They were so satisfied with the game, they never expected that the game would be so exciting at the beginning.

After several waves of offense and defense were over, many people found that Sevilla played some advantages, because their possession time was longer, which made people feel that football was at Sevilla's feet most of the time.

Millwall seemed more passive. The Spanish commentator who broadcast the game shouted, "Millwall was suppressed by Sevilla! Even if they took the initiative to attack, the technical gap cannot be made up..."

Some Spanish media even said affirmatively, "It's only a matter of time before Sevilla scores!"

The players on the field feel the exact opposite.

Sevilla can have more ball possession time, but that's only because they pass more laterally and backwards, they take the initiative to hold the ball, and the opponent tends to complete the attack in one go, no matter what the result is They all retreated immediately.

This is a different style of play.

Sevilla has a lot of time to control the ball, but they don't have many opportunities. Millwall tends to break fast, and the defense is also very solid. The backcourt seemed impregnable, and they couldn't find a good opportunity for a long time. If they passed the ball rashly, they might be directly intercepted.

The game lasted less than 10 minutes, and Sevilla's passing was also much more cautious.

They found that the game was not as simple as they thought.

Sevilla's understanding of Millwall is limited to media reports and a few games, which are all old calendars from last season. The Millwall team played in a 451 formation. They have been talking about the 'dual-core' style of play. They are confident that they will play a more gorgeous offensive than Millwall, which is also a source of confidence in the game.

Now Sevilla is in trouble, the opponent's solid defense is not the main thing, the attack speed is a bit chilling.

In the previous two waves of offensive, the opponent did not take ten seconds to hit the penalty area line. Fortunately, the backcourt players defended in time, so they did not give the opponent a chance to shoot.

The goal was defended, but the process was memorable.

Sevilla found that they could not give the opponent a chance, but it was impossible in the game. They all consciously increased their possession of the ball, because when the football is at their feet, they will feel very safe, at least they don’t have to worry about the opponent hitting the ball. hazardous location.

"Their counterattack is too fast!"

Sevilla all issued similar exclamations, they were a little scared of Millwall's fast break.

Long-term possession of the ball is meaningless. Millwall's pressing is very active. If there are too many passes and mistakes, it will give the opponent a better chance. Look for opportunities.

Millwall's defense is not so easy to break through. The 352 formation defense is a problem, but the two defensive midfielders and the wing retreat make up for the lack of defense. When Sevilla plays well, they can find opportunities. But they still feel the toughness of the defense.

In the Sevilla team, the most obvious feeling is striker Fabiano.

Fabiano is at the top of the formation, constantly running flexibly, but he still has to face tough defense, often throwing away the central defender and facing the midfielder, and facing the side defenders when he goes to the side , it is difficult for him to run out of real space.

"They've done a good job of blocking areas."

Fabiano could feel that it was not a single player who was defending him, which meant that the opponent did not restrict him. Relying on the overall defense alone was enough to cause considerable trouble.

So far, Fabiano has got a chance to shoot. Under the tight blockade, he has no way to control his body, so he can only swing his kick at will, and the football directly flies out of bounds.

After 15 minutes, Sevilla only had two shots.

Kanoute and his teammates cooperated well. He shot against the penalty area line and threatened Millwall's goal. Fortunately, goalkeeper Graham quickly saved the ball.

This is a very special attack.

Nothing else.

In the first 15 minutes of Sevilla, there was only one threat from Kanoute, but their performance was not bad. The Spanish media believed that Sevilla had an advantage because they had more possession time.

Many journalists also targeted for discussion.

But as Millwall's offense became more intense, they were not in the mood to discuss which team had the advantage.

----

The 352 formation emphasizes the attack speed.

The Spanish media believes that Sevilla has suppressed Millwall by relying on more possession of the ball. In fact, Millwall's style of play is like this. They don't care how much possession they have. They fight for offense. Speed, the fight is the number of attacks and efficiency.

When Millwall launched an offense, he rarely made a backward pass. He always passed the ball to the end in one breath, shot directly when he had a chance, and retreated quickly if he had no chance.

This style of play sounds simple, but it is very difficult to play well. First of all, if you want to attack more times than your opponent, you must have strong pressing and defensive support.

In addition, offensive efficiency is a problem.

Fast offensive speed does not mean high efficiency. In many teams, the two are opposite data, because fast speed often means high probability of turnover.

Millwall adopts a fast-break style of play, relying on the strong organizational ability of the midfield, and also relying on the extremely high efficiency of the forward players.

This is where Millwall has the edge.

Probably the Spanish media don’t think so. Instead, they feel that Sevilla’s frontcourt is stronger and their technique is better, but the players on the field of Sevilla have already realized it, because they have to face huge pressure when defending. The offensive speed is fast, each player's skills are quite good, and the coordination is also accurate and smooth, which also greatly increases their defensive pressure.

In Millwall's frontcourt, there are two people who bring the most pressure, one is Sneijder and the other is Braniff.

Sneijder is the core of the frontcourt, and can also be called a "little assist expert". With the continuous support of his teammates in the wing and backcourt, the Dutchman gets more frequently. In the frontcourt position, he can pass when he finds an opportunity. With a threatening kick, the Sevilla players felt their scalps tingle when they saw Sneijder taking the ball. They needed to defend very seriously, lest they give the opponent a chance because of a small mistake.

Plus, there's Braniff.

Braniff is really good, because he played as a striker, he was very tightly marked, and the frequency of getting the ball was not high, but whenever he got the ball, it would make Sevilla very nervous in the backcourt , because he not only cooperates tacitly with his teammates, but also has the ability to dribble and break through alone. If the defenders don't pay attention, they are directly swayed away. Braniff also found good opportunities twice because of this.

Braniff's stunning performance also made Sevilla's defense more cautious.

----

After 25 minutes of the game, the players on the Sevilla field have already felt the difficulty.

This Millwall team is different than imagined.

Even last season's Champions League champions, they feel very hopeful to win, but Millwall does not seem to follow the routine, and launched a full-scale offensive when they came up.

Millwall's offensive rhythm is very fast, which makes Sevilla feel like they can't catch up.

As time passed, the media and fans in the stands also realized that the game was not as easy as imagined. Millwall’s offense not only has speed, but also has tacit cooperation and efficiency. The four shots completed so far are proof. Seville The sub-local media commentator also had to say with fear, "Millwall is fast and more efficient! Maybe Sevilla should pay attention to defense."

Juande Ramos is also aware of the problem.

As the head coach of Sevilla, he is considered to be the second "meritorious coach" in the history of the club. Ramos is still very discerning. He sits on the coaching bench and sees more than others. To Ramos' surprise, Millwall's attacking play was fast and fluid, occasionally creating a direct threat.

It is not easy to achieve this, even when Barcelona and Real Madrid perform well, it is difficult to quickly pass the ball to a threatening position.

How did Millwall do it?
This is not just a matter of coordination. A ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt requires the cooperation of several players. A quick pass will not leave too much reaction time for the players. Coupled with the opponent's defensive restrictions, the only players who get the ball are For a brief moment, to judge where to pass the ball.

If it is a top player in the middle, it can probably be done, but it is impossible for any team to be a top player. Even the top giants clubs have different players' passing ability.

Now Millwall is playing this fast-paced, fluid, menacing attack.

Ramos couldn't understand.

If it weren't for Sevilla and Millwall playing, he would feel that the game process was arranged. Millwall's offensive performance was really good, completely a level higher than Sevilla.

The offensive performances of the two teams are not comparable.

Even if Sevilla's ball possession rate is higher, most of them are slow-down passes rather than efficient forward passes.

This is the difference between the two sides.

Ramos continued to watch with doubts. He watched it very seriously, and even hoped that it would be Millwall's offense in a row, so that he could understand the reason.

During the process of Ramos' "fantastic travel", Millwall carried out several consecutive offensives. Sevilla felt that the defense line was in crisis and had to retreat a little bit, but their tactics were not defensive counterattacks. When they were suppressed, they felt Some couldn't play out, and for a while Millwall gained a suppressive advantage in the situation.

Millwall is a bit of a pity.

The continuous offensive just now was very smooth. When the opponent was unable to play and stabilized the backcourt defense, the offense was a bit like breaking through the dense defense. They played an advantage but slowed down. They thought a little proudly, "Sevilla is really good. Can't help but hit!"

It makes them proud.

In the previous two league games, the opponents adopted a defensive stance. Manchester City played offense everywhere for a while, but most of the time they were still defending. They have been fighting against intensive defense.

This game is different.

Sevilla took the initiative to launch an offensive. The two sides were in a confrontational posture. Millwall fully displayed its tactical power, and the continuous offensive made the players immersed in it.

It seems to be over now!
Every player knows very well that the 352 formation is to suppress the opponent with offense.

This is a tactical goal.

After hitting the set target, they can start an offensive around the opponent, and it is not easy for the opponent to counterattack. It is even said that the opponent's counterattack will become their opportunity instead.

Sevilla is defending like an enemy, and they focus on those opponents who need attention.

Such as Braniff, Vardy, Sneijder, etc.

There is one player who has been overlooked, that is Simpson on the right side. Simpson has never been a conspicuous player. In normal games, he often just cooperates with his teammates. Becoming a connecting winger, such a style is difficult to attract the attention of opponents.

But Simpson is by no means lacking in strength.

Up to now, Simpson has been quite mature. His foot skills are outstanding, his physical confrontation ability is not bad, and his speed is also very fast. He is a very good frontcourt.

The best thing about Simpson is his ability to run without the ball. He can always run to key positions.

Same this time.

When Sevilla thought they had blocked Millwall's frontcourt, Sneijder suddenly sent the ball to Simpson's feet. He didn't know when Simpson ran to the corner of the penalty area, and the opposing defensive player did not follow. superior.

Simpson ran towards the ball and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area with one kick, which immediately made the Sevilla penalty area tense.

Braniff!

Braniff is not yet a top player, but Sevilla dare not underestimate him. When it comes to Millwall, many people know Morris, Pires, Zambrotta, Livermore, and the next It's Braniff's turn. Many people in the football industry believe that Braniff is better than the above-mentioned players. They think that he is more skilled and younger. In the Millwall team, there are few players with strong breakthrough ability. The midfielder is also one of Millwall's core players.

In this game, Braniff played the striker position and was also closely guarded by Sevilla.

Central defender Navarro rushed towards Braniff immediately.

Braniff's position is better, it is difficult for him to turn around to complete the shot, and he can touch the ball immediately. When the football rolls past, Braniff took the initiative to take a step, and then gently tapped the ball with his left foot .

This action is confusing.

A lot of people thought Braniff was going to pass back because he couldn't finish the shot, he kept passing in the box and there was no target at all, but he passed the ball to the left side of the box, and there were no Millwall players on the left side. The left midfielder Pires has no running position, and the only Vardy is still defended by two players...

Vardy?
Vardy!
"Hula!" With the noisy sound in the audience, many people noticed that Vardy ran over.

"When did he go there?"

Everyone was a little bit overwhelmed, and Navarro, who was defending Braniff, was a little dazed. He turned his head and saw two teammates, Paulson and Escuder, who were still in the middle and didn't move.

At that moment, the two were walking...but it was too late!

"Valdy! Pay attention!" the Spanish commentator shouted anxiously.

Vardy didn't know when he ran to the left side of the penalty area, and the football rolled to him accurately as if he had eyes.

The next thing is simple.

In the running rhythm, Vardy swung his right foot without hesitation. As the foot collided with the football, there was a muffled "bang", and the football flew into the goal without any suspense.

Goalkeeper Palop stood in place and could only watch the football hit the net.
