The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

-------------------

Perhaps the vast majority of fans who like Shevchenko are because the Ukrainian nuclear warhead detonated the Apennines. Shevchenko on the field, no matter whether it is a highlight or a sinking, has left countless unforgettable moments for the fans. Off the field, even Audrey in his previous life Qi is not a fan of Sheva, but there is still a scene that impressed him deeply and will be unforgettable for a long time.

In that picture, Shevchenko is wearing a black coat and standing next to a statue of a figure with the European Golden Globe in his hand. It is calm but shocking: if you know the story behind this picture.

The protagonist of that statue is Shevchenko's mentor in history: Lobanovsky.

In the original history, the legendary coach who trained Blokhin, Bielanov and Shevchenko, three European Golden Globe winners, is comparable to another legend in terms of this achievement: Michels, The three names under the command of the Dutch coach are: Cruyff, Gullit, and Van Basten.

Unfortunately, before Shevchenko won the Golden Globe, Lobanovsky died in a national funeral.

Aldrich felt that he was a little cruel. He took away the mentorship between the coach who was fighting against the disease and will be buried in the ground five years later, and Shevchenko.

Lobanovsky can be seen in almost every period of glory of Dynamo Kyiv, and this time is no exception, and the beginning of his third time in charge of Dynamo Kyiv was the summer of 1997. Qi preemptively took away Shevchenko two years ago.

At this point, Aldridge feels cruel, but he has no regrets, because he thinks Shevchenko is better and more famous than the same period in history! For Millwall Club and Shevchenko, it is a win-win situation. Dynamo Kyiv may have long regretted selling Shevchenko, but who made them accept the check from Millwall? ? This is a free choice.

Aldridge walked to the coach of the home team with respect. Lobanovsky was a wise coach, if not for his declining health. He will definitely stand on the sidelines and direct his disciples to fight as before.

Today, he was standing on the sidelines. Aldridge walked up to him, greeted him respectfully, and expressed his respect in the simplest English.

Lobanovsky was amazed at the humility shown by the young marshal from England. He had read the news and had a vague impression of the young marshal in his mind.

Those wanton, frivolous, arrogant and uninhibited boys portrayed by the media are completely incompatible with the young man in front of him.

Especially in the last game with a three-goal lead,

Aldridge also let the team continue to attack crazily, showing a strong and compelling characteristic.

Lobanovsky is self-aware. Live to his fifty-year-old age. There is no need to confront the younger generation in terms of momentum. He was more old-fashioned and calm, but he was also easy to talk to Aldridge.

Aldridge paid his respects in his own way.

Senior, let's have a good fight!

Lobanovsky said with a smile that Millwall is a strong team that cannot be ignored, and Aldridge is young and promising. He used a tone of encouragement to the younger generation.

Aldridge shook his head slightly as he turned to leave.

He knew how much he weighed.

If he hadn't seized the gold mine in advance, how could he be rich in the world?

Compared with the success of other coaches who rely on real skills, Aldridge dare not think that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with others, let alone be on an equal footing with legendary coaches like Lobanovsky.

Of course, when you come to the court to compete, you can do what you want, and the humility towards the legend will be put away immediately.

When the Champions League theme song was played in the stadium, players from both sides had already stood up on the field, waiting for the game to start solemnly.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 97/98 season kicked off. Today at the home of Dynamo Kyiv, they will face Millwall, who is ranked first in the group. The two teams currently have the same points, with three points. But Dynamo Kyiv has one less goal difference than Millwall. Today's game is a key battle for the two teams. If the final result of the game is a winner, then the winning team will qualify A glimmer of opportunity.

Aldridge watched the starting lineups of both sides from the sidelines. He discussed the situation with the players before the first game, and then asked the players to forget about the standings and strive to win every game.

The most taboo thing in this group stage is to think about how many games are left and how the situation will develop.

If you think about it, you will leave an extra retreat in your heart. This is a very unwise approach. Unless the team's state and strength are completely at a disadvantage, then the goal should be set realistically. It is reasonable to care about the gains and losses in every game. middle.

But Millwall is not afraid of any team in the same group, the head coach is not afraid, and the players should not be afraid. At the psychological level, they must have the idea of ​​I can beat the opponent and fight their way out of the encirclement to get the knockout tickets.

Millwall started today in a formation they don't usually play: 4321.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Helguera, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Three midfielders: Ballack, Makelele, Lampard.

Attacking midfielder: Larson, Nedved.

Forward: Andriy Shevchenko.

The English reporters and Wild Lions fans who watched the game at the scene saw such a formation of the team today, and suddenly had an illusion in their hearts: Aldridge is really afraid of Dynamo Kyiv!

In fact, this game is a guest, and it is normal to be conservative. Secondly, considering factors such as the situation of the opponent and the weather of the venue, Aldridge believes that this Christmas tree formation is the most suitable.

Speaking of the Christmas tree formation, perhaps the most talked about after two thousand years is the one that Ancelotti likes to use.

However, this formation is not a magic trick at all in contemporary Europe. No one will think that this formation is anything new.

Capello has used it very successfully in Italy. He went to Real Madrid last season and basically used this Christmas tree formation, but he often switched between 4321 and 4312 in the game, so that Real Madrid suppressed in the league. Alien Barcelona won La Liga with a two-point advantage.

In this game, due to the weather, Dynamo Kyiv has the advantage at home, and the performance of the players will definitely be more active than that of Millwall. But suddenly from an environment of more than ten degrees to an environment of six or seven degrees, normal people will have some discomfort. The weather suddenly becomes colder, and the players' self-protection awareness will sound the alarm. Certainly not as flexible as the opponent.

Because of this, the 433 that Millwall is used to playing is too risky and aggressive. Even if it is 4231, Aldridge thinks it is not safe, because the running may not be as good as the opponent. Once the frontcourt player retreats, the speed slows down. It will be pierced through the defense line.

So today Aldridge used three midfielders. Among them, Ballack and Lampard are both players with a wide range of activities and can fight and grab. They stabilize the defense line and cover the defense in the second half in all directions, so as to focus on stability.

Larson's attacking midfielder is just a cover. In fact, he is a second striker who can pass and shoot, just like Raul was under Capello. The single arrow Aldridge chose the Ukrainian. Obviously, he is more suitable for today's game than Trezeguet.

Although Dynamo Kyiv seems to be a group of famous players who are not mainstream in Europe, they seem to start to shine under the training of Lobanovsky, especially in the next season. When Dynamo Kyiv was more mature, it would kill the Quartet. In history, if it wasn’t for Bayern’s 3:1 lead in the first round of the semi-finals, it would be Dynamo Kyiv who won the Triple Crown. .

Today the opponent formed a 451 formation.

Goalkeeper: Shofkowski

Defenders: Luzny, Khrovka. Vashchuk, Karadze.

Midfield: Haskovic, Husin, Kardash, Kosovsky, Berkovic.

Forward: Rebrov.

In this starting lineup, there are two people who will become famous in the future. One is Karadze who joined San Siro, and the other is Rebrov, who in history Milan also wanted to bring to reorganize the golden striker with Shevchenko, but in the end Rebrov's transfer to the Premier League ended in failure, failing to complete the bottleneck and become a world-class striker.

Most of the people here are not well-known, because they have never set foot on the stage of the mainstream European leagues. Apart from Rebrov and Karadze, only Luzny has also landed in the five major leagues. The Wolves did not show the level of power they played in Dynamo Kyiv. What is more strange is that two players did not travel west, but went east to Asia and played briefly in China.

Why does Aldrich admire Lobanovsky in his heart?

It's not because of the admiration of famous people at work.

It's Dynamo Kyiv who obviously has lost Shevchenko, but Lobanovsky can still make the team perform very well, although it is slightly worse than in history. Can score the fourth goal, and Rebrov looks better than in the original history. Under the premise that Dynamo Kyiv has no better forward seedlings, Lobanovsky just put Berkovic The attacking midfielder has been built into a more comprehensive offensive player, who can organize and score goals. Under the cover of Rebrov, his inserting goals when changing roles are almost impossible to guard against. In the Nou Camp, Berkovic scored a lot. nice ball.

Because of this, Aldridge felt that someone else would definitely not be able to do better than Lobanovsky. He could transform a midfielder into an excellent full-back in just a few months. For example, Kosovsky, this reflects the superiority of the head coach. In this regard, Aldrich is willing to bow down and let him change the position and role of players who are not foresight. After a few weeks of research and pondering at home, he might not dare to make up his mind, because he was afraid of ruining the player's future.

The game is about to start, the two teams opened their battles, and there are only hundreds of Wild Lions fans in the stands today. Come here to cheer.

After all, it was too far away, and the game was held in the middle of the week. To come here to cheer for the team, working fans had to take at least two days off work, and the round-trip flight took more than 20 hours, not to mention the delay before and after the journey.

There are hundreds of fans here, which is enough to make Aldridge moved.

But the Wild Lions fans in the stands were dumbfounded.

Among the fans of Dynamo Kyiv, there was a group of people who were shirtless and opened their arms, shouting wildly for the team.

Wild Lions fans really want to ask them: Isn't it cold?

There are crazy fans all over the world. If Dynamo Kyiv fans know what the Wild Lions fans are thinking, they will definitely reply in a disdainful tone: Cold? Where is this? You are lucky, if you come in December, you will know whether we are cold or not. ()
