The Young Lion

No one or thing in the world will be recognized, praised and admired by everyone.

Things always have two sides, especially when placed on people who are inherently complex and changeable.

Beckham is a heartthrob, but the people who hate him seem to be no less than the people who like him.

Millwall is a super strong man, worshiped by countless people.

But in the same way, the duality of Millwall's image is reflected in that they are liked by the widest and largest number of fans, but they are also hated by the widest and largest number of fans!

Set foot on the top stage for 10 years, excluding the first year of surviving in League One. In these 10 years, as a trophy harvester, how many victories did Millwall have? Relatively, how many losers, even losers The number is multiplied because there is only one winner, and the losers are a bunch in a majority game!

They repeatedly create pain for some teams, leaving opponents scarred in front of them, and a new match is like tearing open old scars, making opponents hurt even more.

Pain to the extreme is numbness.

Subtle qualitative changes began to take place in this King's Vigor or Blue Terror!

It can be said that the past 10 years have been a quantitative accumulation, and when a certain level has been reached, qualitative changes have taken place.

This kind of situation shouldn't have happened, or the probability of it happening should be very small, because no matter how strong a team is, it can't stand against time, and its players can't stand against old age. It's hard for a team to continue to be strong.

Real Madrid, the last king capable of creating a similar shock effect, bid farewell to the Champions League champion for nearly 40 years.

And the last dynasty to be admired, the Milan Dynasty, is now carefully compared with the achievements of Milan and Millwall in the same time span. People will feel that the two are no longer comparable.

You could say that Milan created the dynasty of that era.

But it's hard to say: both Milan and Millwall are dynasty builders.

Because the gap between the dynasties created by the two has been obviously widened.

The dynasty will be a representative memory of an era. It may not be obvious now, but looking back on the past, most people can only think of Puskas and Di Stefano. But it's hard to name a few more contemporaries. I think of Beckenbauer, the Three Musketeers of Milan, the Busby Boys, etc., but the history spans nearly half a century. How many generations of players have been submerged here? It can be left to future generations to remember.

Those who can be recalled are actually very few in each era, and those who can be remembered are often those who stand on the pinnacle of the era at that time.

For many, many ambitious players, Millwall created fear. This is one of them.

Because of Millwall's transcendent strength, it further highlights their humbleness and insignificance to the times. Maybe twenty or fifty years later, people in the future may open their mouths and be able to say something about the memory of this era. The name of a Millwall great. However, those contemporaries who were actually very good, but repeatedly lost to Millwall in the competition, were forgotten!

Losing to Millwall time and time again will make the frustration aggravated repeatedly. When they rise to deeper thinking, they will wear down their will even more.

Milan did not actively try to change anything. After all, Millwall is too strong, so strong that they are invulnerable with their current strength.

Aldridge was about to enter stoppage time. Use the last substitution.

Southgate replaces Thiago Silva!

Millwall has completed a substitution of special significance, and Southgate will play for Millwall for the last time! Although there is not much time left for him. But it is also a kind of consolation, and he will have a complete curtain call here In a few minutes, he will take off his wild lion jersey. It is reported that Southgate will go to the FA after retiring. We are still not sure what kind of position he will hold. , the situation in Millwall is very good, and the fans in the stands can also express their support and gratitude to Southgate as much as possible, thank him for his contribution to the Wild Lions in the past 11 years, and wish him well in his future career and life Smooth sailing!

Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

At this time, the stands were already quite empty.

Because the Milan fans started to leave the field when the 90 minutes came, they left silently with unspeakable pain, and probably wanted to get drunk, sleep deeply, forget everything they witnessed today, and try not to think about this day as much as possible.

Millwall won the league and the Champions League in May, defending the double!

And Milan lost the league and the Champions League in May!

Inside the stadium, Milan's players stood where they were. They wanted to leave, but they couldn't!

Damn the game, why is it the final?

Why is it the final that makes people unable to hide the pain after losing?

And why is it so cruel to stand here to watch the champion go to receive the award, and to stand under the spotlight of the world to receive the meaningless runner-up medal?

Around them, Millwall players were in various poses. Nedved and Larson ran towards Southgate. The three captains of the first generation of Wild Lions knelt down and hugged, as if they had accomplished a shocking feat!

Yes, they wrote their names in history.

The number one in the past!

Six times with the team to win the Champions League!

Then Schneider and Bout also walked over, the veterans hugged each other and shouted heartily, freezing this historic moment!

Lahm and Silva, who really provoked the main players to play the main role, played with the team as the main players this season. They cannot be described as lucky, because they have made contributions that cannot be ignored, and their role in the team is increasing day by day. When the season comes At the end of the season, no one looked at them with the eyes of rookies, and more worries were eliminated than at the beginning of the season.

Lahm and Silva ran around the field excitedly, took off their jerseys and waved them above their heads, as if to spread their excitement to the world.

Alonso and De Rossi, the two players who won the championship with the team for the second time as the main force, are more calm than last season. , Honor or disgrace.

Even more calm were Ronaldinho and Henry, who stood on the field with their hips crossed and chatted. I don't know what he said, but Henry smiled very heartily, while Ronaldinho seemed to have Latin songs lingering in his ears, and his gestures when speaking seemed to be beating the beat.

Nesta ran to the sidelines. He rushed to the edge of the stands, kissed his girlfriend passionately, and almost had the urge to propose marriage on the spot...

Kaka and Villa chatted with Ronaldo in a suit and leather shoes on the sidelines. Although Ronaldo felt sorry, he still smiled excitedly, as if to steal the scene. He deliberately stood on the sidelines at a place with a wider view, and then talked with Kaka and Villa in a gentlemanly manner, shaking his head and shrugging slightly from time to time, as if saying that he didn’t mind missing the final due to injury, and from time to time He nodded subtly like a leader. As if to express appreciation for the performance of teammates...

At the end of the game, Aldridge closed his eyes, calming down his excitement.

When Nedved scored a goal, he had catharsis and really couldn't restrain it.

Now, with his eyes open, he walked slowly to the opponent's bench, ready to shake hands with Ancelotti after the game.

as he moved forward. Ancelotti also walked towards him, and Aldridge stopped suddenly.

Because he saw Ancelotti's eyes, he seemed to understand the meaning of the other's eyes.

Ancelotti didn't want to shake his hand!

Although he sure. As long as he walks over and reaches out, Ancelotti will definitely not refuse!

A gentle and graceful handshake, of course Ancelotti would not give it to others, and the next day the global football media laughed at him not only for losing the final, but also for losing his demeanor.

But what about his heart?

Is he willing to shake hands with Aldridge frankly?

No. He doesn't want to!

At least for this moment, when his side were scarred by Aldridge's Millwall. It's not just as simple as losing a game, but more importantly, it's a mental blow!

Aldridge understood the hidden sorrow and anger in Ancelotti's eyes.

He stopped. Did not walk past.

If he takes another step, it's like adding salt to Ancelotti's wounds!

He and Ancelotti are no newcomers, and they both understand what Milan's signs at the last moment today represent.

That is the end of a peak, and it will be accompanied by a low tide for a long time!

This is like Millwall suppressing Chelsea in the Premier League this season, which will have a profound impact on Chelsea's domestic league competition in the next few years.

For example, Manchester United won the Champions League in 1999, but in that season and the following season, they rushed to catch up with Millwall, but were suppressed by the wild lions and could not raise their heads.

Like last season, the near-perfect Arsenal were crushed by Millwall at the last minute!

Milan, which won the Champions League in 2003, was destroyed by Millwall in 2005. This will definitely have a major impact on the future development of Milan.

Aldridge can even foresee that after the lack of Kaka, Milan, which would maintain its peak competitiveness in the next two years, will not appear again. There were doubts before, but now, he is sure!

Ancelotti's bitterness, no one can understand!

Looking back eight years ago, in the autumn of 1997, in Nyon, Switzerland, he sat side by side with Aldrich, and at that time, he was about to compete with Aldrich!

When he left Parma and became the Juventus coach, he wanted to fight Aldridge!

Leaving Juventus, coming to Milan, reaching the top of the Champions League, his most desired opponent is still Aldridge!

When the two finally met on the top stage of the club, eight years had passed since then!

Eight years, for the football circle, is enough to change the world!

Aldrich is no longer that passionate, hard-edged, wild and unrestrained young marshal!

Now, Aldrich, standing in front of Ancelotti, shows a temperament called majestic!

Make opponents daunting!

Completely flawless and terrifying!

He and him, the young marshal back then, were looking forward to the pinnacle battle, which would come eight years later, but how much Ancelotti hoped that this battle would come sooner, sooner, sooner!

Perhaps the sooner he defeats Aldrich, the more likely he will be, just as Aldrich was almost killed by Silver Fox Lippi and was defeated by Heathfield!

However, time cannot go back!

Ancelotti is not reconciled, but he has nothing to do. He just doesn't want to face Aldridge at this moment, and he doesn't want to let Aldridge see the eyes that he may not be able to hide. There must be a kind of gloom in it. The ray of light is called Admit defeat. (to be continued)
