The Young Lion

The focus of the first round of the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup in the 97/98 season, Millwall's match against the Serie A giants Juventus at Wembley is about to begin! Both teams have performed well in their respective leagues, Millwall Although Juventus is temporarily ranked third in the Premier League, there is still hope of defending the title, and Juventus is on par with Inter Milan in Serie A, and is also advancing towards the road to defending the title.

Although Millwall entered the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the history of the club, they showed an incredible state. They won all six games in the group stage and created the history of the UEFA Champions League for English clubs. The offense was fierce and the defense was tough. I have to say that last year The experience of winning the European Cup Winners' Cup is crucial to their growth. This youth army led by Marshal Aldridge Hall has faded from its green figure, and they are fully capable of competing with Juventus. There is no need to talk about Juventus. The winner of the Champions League last year, unfortunately lost to Borussia Dortmund in the final last year and finished second. The stability and strength of Lippi's team in the league and European wars tell people why Serie A can win Europa. !

The starting formations and lists of both sides are as follows:

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout

Defenders: Schneider, Helguera, Southgate, Capdevila

Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved

Forwards: Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Larsson

This is Millwall's strongest lineup!

Juventus starting 4312

Goalkeeper: Peruzzi

Defenders: Torricelli, Montero, Ferrara, Pesotto

Central midfield: Davies, Conte. Deschamps

Attacking midfielder: Zidane

Forwards: Del Piero, Inzaghi

Blessed are the fans today, the main lineups of the two teams are neat, and key players will not be unable to appear due to the lack of major generals, although the first round is not decisive. The two teams may be conservative in their tactics, but the first 90 minutes of the 180-minute game will be an important foreshadowing. Let us wait and see what the result of the 90 minutes will be.

Glancing at the starting players of Juventus, Aldridge has an adjective in his heart: star-studded!

These 11 people are all famous names in the Serie A arena.

Peruzzi has been playing for various giants in Serie A since his debut. The goalkeeper with the motto I want to fly higher only looks at the ability to save. Even better than the future Buffon!

The four on the back line are all well-known figures, and the central defender combination Montero + Ferrara is a golden partner.

The three midfielders Davis, Conte and Deschamps are all players who can't run to death and have both offensive and defensive skills, plus the tactical qualities cultivated in Serie A. This combination arrangement is not inferior to any black and hard animal waist defensive hardness in the future!

The superstar Zidane is very strange, really strange!

When you think that he is the best now, but as you grow older, you will find out: it turns out that he is the better Zidane tomorrow!

Almost all superstars in history won the Golden Globe at their peak, but Zidane subverted this phenomenon, Zidane when he won the Golden Globe. Far inferior to Zidane later.

This also proves from the side that his career trajectory is abnormal. Others are parabolic, going from low to high, and then began to decline at the end of his career, but Zidane has been rising all the way without falling. The last battle of his career is the World Cup In the finals, and with the absolute core and soul, this is the best proof.

The twin star on the front line, Del Piero has been very bright since his debut, and he is among the young stars who are focused in Europe. Piero, Raul, Ronaldo, these are the pronouns of European football in the new era. The Italian media regards Piero as a rival to Ronaldo. And before the rise of Ronaldo, Piero was definitely the most popular young player in Europe, and he was the first love of most contemporary young fans! Although the performance in the national team competitions in the next few years will be disappointing, it is undeniable that Del Piero is in excellent condition today, and the Zebra Prince's reputation is well deserved!

Another person, Inzaghi, also performed well in Juventus in the new season. Perhaps the most sensational move in the transfer market in the summer of 2001 was Zidane's record-breaking transfer to Real Madrid, but Inzaghi's transfer to Milan set a new record. His net worth is conservatively estimated to exceed 30 million U.S. dollars. Such a net worth is achieved by scoring one goal after another in Juventus!

Juventus' lineup can be described as past, present, and future, a team composed of three generations of top European football players. The strength can be imagined.

Millwall, come on!

Millwall, come on!

In the stands of Wembley Stadium, the Wild Lions fans shouted in unison. They had just finished singing the cheering song and kept repeating the lyrics of after the end, louder and more passionate over and over again, encouraging the team to be brave Fight against the giants of Serie A!

Wild Lions are never afraid of losing, but never lose on their knees!

When the game started, Aldridge got up and stood on the sidelines, with his arms crossed to supervise the battle, while Lippi on the other side sat firmly on the coach's bench.

From the first minute of the game, Millwall showed an excellent competitive state, which stems from their adequate preparation for the past period of time. For this reason, Aldridge sacrificed a league game and only gained a draw , allowing Arsenal to go ahead in the standings.

Juventus played away, and first set up the fence when they came up, and they were not in a hurry to compete with Millwall for the ball.

But they find it fresh. In this era of front midfielder organization, Millwall's organizational responsibility is at the feet of Pirlo, the midfielder.

Pirlo's precise and sharp shots make every attack of Millwall extremely threatening, because his overall view can better detect the weak links of the opponent's defense. Of course, this is a relative concept. Juventus' defensive system is simply Impeccable, they conceded the least number of goals in Serie A where there are many masters, which is enough to show their defensive strength.

But today Millwall came prepared, waiting for work at ease, and will surprise the opponent!

Conte and Davies were shocked to see Millwall's attacking players move!

What is Millwall doing?

Hu kick it?

After the opening, Millwall's offense was completely right, with Nedved and Larson. In addition to Trezeguet and Shevchenko, who was already on the right, Pirlo frequently gave the ball to the right, and all the offensive players piled up on this side. They used the local number advantage to cooperate in a narrow range, and sent the ball with one kick. After seeing the needles, he went to the right rib and played a through ball. All of a sudden, Juventus' defense players were a little startled.

The other side of their defense is completely empty, there are no Millwall players, aren't they afraid of being hit on this side of the counterattack?

Davies and Conte immediately supported the other side where the defensive pressure was tight.

Millwall's players are more active and faster.

Their attacking disc trio, Larsson-Nedved-Shevchenko, is characterized by speed. Therefore, the passing and cutting of the running position is more agile and quick, and it can be completed quickly in a short time between receiving and releasing.

In the first ten minutes, Millwall concentrated on playing on the right, hitting and hitting, when an attack failed. After the ball was cleared, Schneider got the ball on the right and passed it to Pirlo. The latter suddenly took the ball forward, forcing Deschamps to attack him. Pirlo then distributed the ball to the right. Schneider assisted. Also walk forward with the ball, and then observe the situation ahead. A precise oblique long pass and a half-high ball flew into the penalty area!

Trezeguet and Shevchenko did not push forward at the same time, but attracted defensive attention near the penalty area line.

Larson moved forward and took away the midfielder. Nedved consciously ran to the back of the penalty area before Schneider passed the ball. It was a diagonal run and was very concealed. Torricelli and Davis They all realized it, but they were completely thrown away by Nedved on the way to accelerate back!

The ball bounced in the penalty area and fell backwards. Nedved rushed forward. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Torricelli wanted to interfere with the opponent with a flying shovel. His flying foot went towards the ball. However, Nedved took the lead and dived to the goal with a header!

He seemed to fly out in parallel, his forehead firmly hit the ball, and then his eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the ball.

Peruzzi had made two excellent saves before, denying shots from Larsson and Trezeguet, but this time. Nedved's offensive point is too hidden, Schneider's cross, his running position, almost tacit understanding!

Peruzzi, who is a little fat, stretched his saves to the extreme, but he still watched the ball sticking to the post and getting into the goal.

Seeing the ball fly into the goal, Nedved was not happy yet, his head was tilted, and severe pain came from the left side of his forehead!

Torricelli stopped, but it was too late, his studs scratched the left side of Nedved's forehead, and blood spurted out at that time.

The goal is scored, the goal is scored! Millwall opened the scoring at Wembley! The person who scored the goal was Nedved. Since 1998, Nedved has been in a state of bursting! This stems from Hall's respect for him The role has changed. In the past, he was more attacking in series, providing fire support for the striker trident, but now he is closer to the goal, and has transformed into a hidden killer! He has repeatedly scored key goals in the league. It was also his goal that helped Millwall win the League Cup, Nedved... Wait, he seems to be injured, and fell on the field after scoring, he clutched his forehead, He seemed to want to sit up, but Torricelli and Ferrara pressed him, indicating that it would be better for him to lie down. From the slow motion of the goal, we can see that Torricelli's flying tackle is too dangerous , although he has a foot movement, it still hurts Nedved.

Aldridge, who was on the sidelines, raised his fists in celebration after seeing the goal, and the coaches behind him also rushed out, but they rushed halfway, only to find that Nedved didn't celebrate, and suddenly felt ominous in their hearts!

Torricelli immediately apologized to Nedved. He was deeply afraid that the action just now would lead to his red card. To be precise, he did not raise his foot too high. However, he lags behind Nedved in terms of initiative to grab points. Under such circumstances, he still chooses to shovel, and it depends on the judgment of the referee. Fouls are certain, but goals must be valid.

If the referee dares to cancel the goal and award a penalty kick, it is not that he is not level, but purely stupid-forced, and he will be hated for smashing his own job!

Millwall's players rushed to Nedved's side.

In order to commute Torricelli's foul, the Juventus players showed a friendly side even if they conceded the ball. While appeasing Nedved, they explained to the Millwall players.

They are too experienced, so there is no need to provoke Millwall at this time. After all, they are playing away and conceding the ball. If there is really one less player to fight, today's game will be completely suspended, and there may be hidden dangers of being out!

Nedved finally stood up, he absolutely can stand up, but the Juventus players want him to lie down and wait for the team doctor to arrive.

When Nedved stood up, the live TV camera only dared to take a close-up, and then only used a long-range shot to focus on the center of the incident.

Half of Nedved's face was stained red with blood, and he looked like a ghost crawling back from hell! (To be continued.
