Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 390 Simple style of play, not simple power!

The auditorium of the stadium was filled with shouts from the fans. Every Millwall fan was shouting, cheering for Livermore's goal. Many people were shouting, and they didn't know what to shout. Just wanting to vent their emotions, some called out the names of the team and Livermore.

The fans are all excited.

That was not just a goal, it was an extremely wonderful goal!

British BBC TV, it was Lineker who was in charge of explaining the Champions League game. After Livermore scored the goal, Lineker said excitedly, "This is an extremely exciting world wave! It is hard to imagine that the position can hold the ball Get in!"

"This goal alone is enough to make Europe and even the world remember Livermore's name!"

After the slow-motion playback ended, Lineker continued, "Now that we have the data, the shooting position just now is 32 meters away from the goal, which is more than the expected 30 meters!"

"This goal will definitely become one of the most exciting goals in this round and even in the Champions League. It is hard to imagine the difficulty of scoring a direct shot over 30 meters, not to mention a dead corner hitting the post!"

"Livermore, who can score such a goal, is enough to shock the whole of Europe!"

"..."

Lineker did not hesitate to praise Livermore, also because Livermore's goal was so wonderful.

For Rome, it's just too scary!

More than 30 meters!
The penalty area line is less than 17 meters away from the goal, and more than 30 meters are almost two penalty areas. It is impossible for any team to push the intensive defense that far, which means that it is impossible to defend that area too effectively. Players can kick from such a far position, and any defense will be useless. It can be said that every time is enough to threaten the goal.

Football is like that.

The longer the shot, the less threatening, but the longer the shot, the harder it is to defend.

If there is a player who can kick a threatening shot 50 meters away from the goal in the half court.

Then how to defend?

Just like the movie "Shaolin Soccer" shot by the famous funny actor Stephen Chow, when the game starts, the goal is shot directly in the middle circle. The opponent's "defensive formation", "defensive tactics", or "defensive ability" are completely meaningless.

The Roma players never thought that they would encounter an opponent who could threaten the goal from such a long distance. Now that they faced it for real, they immediately felt a sense of shock and worry.

Roma players can be described as 'stunned'!

When the goal was completed, Millwall celebrated excitedly. Livermore was surrounded by a group of teammates. Everyone kept talking about the goal. The celebration scene was very exciting.

Roma players are watching from a distance.

Their eyes only paid attention to Livermore standing in the middle. Most of the players didn't care about Livermore before. They didn't think this tall man with rough skills could pose a threat to the goal.

Some players have also heard of Livermore, and occasionally watched a small amount of Italian media. When analyzing Millwall's lineup, there will be one sentence in the evaluation of Livermore, "Excellent long-range shooting ability."

That's all.

There are too many players with excellent long-range shooting ability, there are not many players in Livermore, and there are many players in the absence of Livermore, but now they finally know how far this 'excellence' has reached--
Shocking!
When they think that the opponent has such an opponent who can threaten the goal from a long distance, they all start to worry about defense.

Roma coach Spalletti opened his mouth in surprise.

When he noticed the 'change' of Livermore's continuous insertion, Spalletti didn't think there was anything wrong. A midfielder inserted an assist on the court, maybe the opponent hoped to complete the goal as soon as possible, but the opponent's midfielder, the technical The ability is too poor, not to mention compared with Pizarro and De Rossi, it is much worse than the average player.

Spalletti believes that the most marginal substitutes in Roma have much stronger technical strength than Livermore.

"How did such a player become the main force of Millwall?" Spalletti was very puzzled. Just because of his physical fitness, strong body, and ordinary defense, he would be a marginal substitute at most in Rome. Don't even think about it, the key central defender will not have a position.

Now Spalletti understands.

Pizarro?De Rossi?Perhaps the skills of the two are good, but the contribution in the offense is just to make the middle play flexible and increase the strength of the midfield by the way, but neither of them has the ability to break the goal. The opponent's Livermore has it , His skills are very poor, but what he does from the outside is greater than the contribution of De Rossi and Pizarro who have worked hard for a long time.

That was a goal!

The Roma team has worked so hard until now, but they have not been able to complete the goal. The opponent only kicked in the past and sent the ball directly into the goal. No matter how solid the defense is, there is nothing wrong with such an 'unreasonable' shot. Method.

Spalletti panicked for a while.

What's next?
You can't let this player continue to threaten the goal from the outside, right?

Spalletti hopes that the goal just now was just 'accidental', rather than the opponent's real ability to play a threat from such a far position, then the goal is just a goal.

----

Spalletti's 'hope' is actually partially correct.

It was just by chance.

Livermore can threaten the opponent's goal from a long distance, but it is too difficult to score the ball from a distance of 30 meters. It is not necessarily possible to score once after kicking ten times.

If it is within 25 meters, Livermore's threat is greatly increased.

Zhang Yang noticed Livermore's shot in the vision of "precognition". Under normal circumstances, the football would fly out of the goal against the post, so he added a halo of "lucky blessing" to Livermore.

Although it only doubled the luck, it still played a role. The trajectory of the football deviated a little, and it hit the goal post and bounced into it.

Part of this goal is Livermore's personal ability, and part of it is the "lucky blessing" effect, which is almost impossible to replicate.

Zhang Yang was pleased that Livermore's goal proved his judgment.

How to break through the Roman defenses?

Play it simple!
The previous team's style of play was too complicated, or in other words, the players on the field spontaneously wanted to do more cooperation, which led the team to seem accustomed to using technology to solve problems, always thinking of using cooperation to penetrate the Roma defense.

This is not practical.

There may be many teams that can use cooperation to penetrate the Roman defense, and Millwall is certainly not among them.

Millwall's cooperation is good, but the team's lineup is there. Most of the players' skills are very average, and there is one missing pillar star in the midfield. There is a big gap between the skills and the top giants.

From the perspective of Millwall's player configuration, the team is still a traditional English style team, not really a so-called 'international team'.

There are a lot of skilled players transferred in the summer, but among them, there is only one Quaresma who can be called "good at playing technical football", such as Pires, who played for Arsenal before and has played for the Premier League for a long time. His personal style Already integrated into it, Zambrotta is a defensive player and has little effect on the overall offensive style.

Among the other newly joined players are also from the Premier League teams.

Therefore, the overall style of Millwall has not changed. The lineup configuration is still the traditional English team. With the current configuration, it is a bit of a fantasy to really play technical football. overall performance.

On the other hand, last season, Millwall did not have the problem of being unable to break through the opponent's defense.

Of course, we didn't meet an Italian team last season, but no matter how tight Roma's defense is, it can't compare to some league opponents-some teams with poor strength, when they encounter Millwall, they simply compress their defenses and put on an 'iron defense'. Barrel array' to defend.

No matter how powerful the Italian defense is, it is impossible to surpass the crowd tactics.

Therefore, there must be a problem with the technical style of play. The team still needs the simple method of last season as the most important means of scoring goals. Can get more shooting opportunities.

The relationship between host and guest cannot be messed up.

This is what Zhang Yang sees.

Now Livermore's goal can also let all players know that goals do not necessarily rely on gorgeous cooperation, often a long-range shot is enough, and using a pass to break through the defense, how can a pass from the outside be better?

----

Millwall celebrated and the game resumed soon after.

The Roma team was shocked by Livermore's long-distance goal, and at the same time had to strengthen their defense, hoping to tie the score in a short time, but soon they had to face the 'unreasonable' style of play.

Livermore's goal let other players know the effect of a simple play. It is not that complicated to break through the Roma defense. So when the ball is passed to the frontcourt, the wingers and midfielders come up when they see the opportunity With a sling pass, the football crosses the defense line and falls into the penalty area, and the teammates in front can compete for points.

The efficiency of the long pass is not high, but Millwall has other methods, such as long shots, such as personal dribbling, and looking for opportunities to create set-piece opportunities.

These are all means of breaking the door.

Millwall tried to attack with a simple style of play. Roma didn't care much at the beginning. It is likely that they found that Millwall's frontcourt efficiency is increasing. Three shots in 10 minutes is evidence. It is certain that the opponent's goal against Roma The threat has greatly increased.

Roma coach Spalletti finally realized what Millwall's real adjustment was. They didn't just let Livermore go forward and threaten the goal with long shots. Others also frequently used the simplest way to threaten the goal. Roman goal.

This simple and direct offensive method is actually not difficult to defend.

If ordinary teams played like this with Roma, Roma would definitely teach them what real football is, but Spalletti found that Millwall's simple style of play is really powerful, at least it can make Roma play very suffocated Qu, couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
