The Young Lion

The no-nonsense Fabio Capello arrived in London with Juventus with mixed feelings.

The joy is because in the Serie A Tianwangshan battle last weekend, he led Juventus to beat Milan in San Siro and scored an inestimable 3 points in the championship! Thus leading Milan in the standings.

What is worrying is that Millwall has already won the championship ahead of schedule. Last weekend, the main players rested and recharged their batteries to prepare for the second round of the Champions League semi-final.

But in any case, Capello was still placed high hopes by the Italian media!

Because the other semi-final is Milan and Eindhoven fighting each other, if Milan and Juventus both advance to the final, then the Champions League final will be a duel between the giants of Serie A.

Aldridge was relaxed when he attended the pre-UEFA press conference. Many media reporters in the audience were asking about Millwall's preparations for the game. Aldridge simply said: In front of us The choice is simple: attack, score, beat the opponent! Only in this way can we advance to the final and strive for another successful Champions League defense.

The 0:0 in the first round of the semi-finals made the situation in the second round very delicate. If Juventus wants to advance, if they don’t play a penalty shootout, then they will definitely score, but Millwall may not only want to Goals, if they have the same number of goals as Juventus, Millwall will be eliminated. Therefore, in terms of the score situation, Millwall may not necessarily have an advantage, but external factors, the advantage of the home court, and the atmosphere of the stadium. Prepare for the environment and so on. Millwall will definitely have the advantage!

Wild Lions fans take the ease of watching games in the league together. When Juventus made their debut at the Lion King Stadium as a guest, there were 60,000 spectators, including 50,000 fans of the home team. The cheering sound of the tsunami really made the Bianconeri feel terrible pressure!

This kind of pressure will make people feel suffocated, as if a beast trapped in a cage will gradually lose its wildness, its vigor will be worn down, and it will become docile and dare not resist.

Aldridge and Capello officially shook hands for the second time, to be honest. He doesn't do much research on Juventus, because Juventus is too stable!

Capello's conservatism makes him rarely take risks or use surprise soldiers. In addition, the Juventus lineup is also top-notch in Europe. In the environment of Serie A, a conservative Capello leads even a lot of utilitarianism. The fans denounced Juventus as ugly, and beating a weak team is simply chopping vegetables, but. It is difficult to play a high-profile game in the European arena, if it is not for the weak opponents encountered on the way to the promotion. It is difficult for them to reach the semifinals.

When Aldrich studied his opponent, what he was most afraid of was that the opponent would give him some unexpected tricks, so when Stella Marcioni handed him a document with a small amount of information, he flipped through it. Afterwards, he lost his interest.

He doesn't know how to guard against Juventus' strange moves, because Capello has almost no surprises, or tactics that unexpectedly change the situation of the battle. It can even be said that Capello is very cowardly!

Even if it's as simple and direct as Bobby Robson's retreat and forward, Capello's dangerous military move of either you die or I collapse completely is almost invisible to people.

Therefore, if Juventus wins, they will win, but if Juventus looks like they are going to lose, then they will lose if they lose in the end. To reverse the changes in the game, especially in terms of the adjustment of the head coach, there is really no way to see Too many features.

This was also more obvious when Capello later coached other teams. The league is very stable. It's not what Capello is good at. 90 minutes and 180 minutes are life and death. The more conservative the coach, the more often he can't reach the end.

Before the game started, the loud singing of Millwall fans echoed in the stadium, which was like a battle song, which made the blood of the Millwall players on the field spurt and kill.

Their eyes are sharp, their momentum is majestic, and they don't fear Juventus at all, even if the strength of the opponent's lineup looks very strong.

They all understand in their hearts that this season's Champions League is of extraordinary significance to the club.

Millwall has participated in the Champions League for less than ten years, but is only short of one Champions League champion, and can become the team that has won the most Champions League titles. Although it is one of the teams, it is also extremely honorable!

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it is Juventus or whoever it is, any opponent standing in front of them will be crushed!

The wild lion wants to become king, swallowing mountains and rivers and sweeping the world!

The game has just started. Millwall, who are at home, have no interest in testing their opponents. They attack quickly after kick-off. Ronaldinho breaks through Zebina from the left, but takes the ball back one step. , when Zebina chased him again, Ronaldinho passed the ball with his heel, beautiful! Lahm turned offside and went into the penalty area, swept the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Henry followed up to grab the point! Wow! Buffon! Fortunately, Buffon left the goal line and rushed out immediately, he expanded the frontal defensive area, Henry had to choose to shoot directly under the interference of Cannava, Buffon blocked the ball with his body!

At the beginning of the game, Millwall quickly launched an attack. The combination of side and center was very good, and the full back also made bold assists. It looked very aggressive.

Capello frowned deeply on the sidelines. He could have imagined that Millwall would show a strong fighting power at home, but just judging from the momentum, this was completely different from the scene in their first round!

As in the previous confrontation, Millwall was a sleeping lion, but today, the lion woke up!

The first round was 0:0, the two teams shook hands and made a draw. The Italian media was generally optimistic, but some people criticized Capello for not daring to attack at home. He missed the best chance to beat Millwall, because Millwall In that game, I played half of the team's main force and half of the team's substitute.

In the second round, if Juventus thinks that they can hold for 120 minutes without conceding a goal, it must be a dream.

Therefore, Capello's starting lineup is mainly based on counterattacks. There are three offensive players in front who will be very threatening, Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, two double forwards, and Del Piero behind them. .

When Juventus got the chance to counterattack, Del Piero got the ball near the center circle. As soon as he turned around, he was blocked by Alonso. Although he was no longer the zebra prince with radiant spirit, his ball control skills were still very unique. , but Alonso's defensive skills have also grown a lot during the same period. Pressing him close to him will not give him a chance to pass him head-on, mainly delaying and interfering, but Juventus dare not press boldly. The longer Del Piero has the ball, the more unfavorable it is to the offensive situation.

So he took the ball and passed it to Trezeguet. When Thiago Silva defended Trezeguet closely behind him, the secret confrontation between the two began. Trezeguet did not retreat to take the ball actively. Instead it was more focused on getting physical with Silva, which resulted in De Rossi easily moving laterally to get the ball one step ahead of him.

After successfully stealing the ball, De Rossi calmly distributed the ball to the right. Schneider put it on, and quickly dribbled forward after getting the ball.

After making a two-for-one with Ronaldo, Schneider dribbled the ball inside and completed another hit-the-wall cooperation with Kaka. Schneider unexpectedly entered the penalty area!

The 31-year-old German is like an old monster on the court. His defense is impeccable, and he can hardly find a time when he makes a fatal mistake. When he is attacking, he will always be silent, but he will burst out at critical moments to make the opponent feel Terrifying power.

Schneider, who entered the penalty area, pretended to make a cross, but then kicked the ball back. His skills were very skillful, which made Cannavaro lose his center of gravity when he chased back. At this time, Schneider calmly lightened the ball With a light horizontal knock, Ronaldo, who also cut in, rushed forward, wading the ball away with his feet, and already had a shooting angle, he completed a shot without hesitation!

Buffon made a wonderful save. He saved Ronaldo's shot from the bottom line at the near post! After standing up, Buffon was very dissatisfied with the defense of his teammates! He roared to remind his teammates to cheer up!

After Ronaldo shot, he raised his hand to Henry in the middle to express his apology. If he had passed the ball just now, maybe Henry would have missed the goal. However, Henry was marked by his compatriot Thuram. It is difficult to say that Ronaldo's pass can be received by Henry. .

Ronaldinho ran to take a corner kick, this time he did not take a tactical kick, but directly hoisted the ball to the front of the penalty area. Nesta nodded in front of the goal, and Thuram, who was marking him, also jumped up. Nesta's header bounced off Thuram's face.

Alonso on the periphery rushed forward to meet the ball before Del Piero!

Bang, a powerful and fast long-range shot blasted out.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the ball flew out of the baseline, and Buffon was drenched in cold sweat.

If the ball flies towards the goal, I'm afraid he won't be able to react in time.

Alonso saw the ball fly out of the baseline after shooting, turned around and ran back without changing his expression.

Juventus launched an offense, and their offense does not seem to have much bright spots, especially the Millwall players' team rhythm is very good, and the integrity remains perfect. When the frontcourt players recover the pressure, Juventus lacks forward acceleration point.

It is difficult to tear apart Millwall's defense by passing the ball alone. He needs at least a very obvious point of speed impact to disrupt Millwall's defensive rhythm, but unfortunately, they did not.

When Ibrahimovic received the ball and was about to turn around, Nesta successfully intercepted it perfectly. Nesta passed the ball to Alonso. The latter knocked the ball across to the left without turning, and Lahm took the ball along. The sidewalk moved forward rapidly.

When the Juventus defender focused on Ronaldinho, Henry pulled the side to the front of Lahm and cooperated with Lahm. When Lahm advanced to the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly knocked the ball back to the goal. Kaka in the middle, Kaka sent a through kick again, Ronaldo cut into the penalty area to win with speed, this time he passed the ball across the center of the penalty area, but the pass was light, and Thuram, who was defended back, directly kicked Kicked off the touchline.

Millwall's offensive wave after wave, Juventus's penalty area was turbulent, and Capello, who was expressionless and seemed very calm, was already a little frightened. (to be continued...)
