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

The second round of the European Champions Cup semi-final between Monaco and Millwall ended. Monaco lost 0:2 to Millwall at the Stade Louis II. It is a pity that they lost the chance to enter the final. Objectively evaluate this game, Millwall Wall's victory is well-deserved. They defeated their opponents through solid defense and sharp counterattack. Hall once again overcame the difficulties under the unfavorable circumstances of the outside world, and miraculously led Millwall to advance in the Champions League for the first time. The Champions League final next month! The opponents for the final came out yesterday. Millwall will face the Spanish white giant Real Madrid. The giant Real Madrid that won the Champions League, Millwall definitely wants to replicate the miracle of Nottingham Forest, and Real Madrid will also be full of ambitions to win the Champions League after 32 years away from the Champions League. What kind of sparks will the two teams produce? ? May 20, please wait and see!

When the whole game was over, Millwall's substitute players rushed into the field. They hugged the main players and celebrated the joy of advancing to the final.

Aldrich let out a long breath, closed his eyes to adjust his mentality, then opened his eyes and strode towards Tigana.

Congratulations, next month, I will go to the Netherlands again. To be honest, I am very envious and unwilling, but you really won my heart and soul.

Tigana maintained her demeanor and blessed Aldrich with a gentle face.

Aldridge said modestly: I just have a good hand.

Tigana shook his head and smiled without saying a word. It was clear who was the winner and who was the loser. There was no need to find reasons to comfort his failure.

After Aldridge shook hands with him after the game, he turned and looked at the field. Those running players were excited, while the Monaco players were dejected.

It's pretty much the same trajectory as last year.

Eliminate French friends in the semi-finals, and then go to the Netherlands to play the final.

It's just that the venue is slightly different, last year it was Rotterdam, this year it's Amsterdam.

When players from both sides lined up to shake hands before the game. Henry had a conversation with Trezeguet.

This pair of friends who were partners in the national youth team each faced the game with the belief that they must win.

Remember to check your mailbox next month.

Trezeguet said this to Henry before the game.

Henry froze for a moment, and asked back, Why?

I will send you the Champions League final match tickets, and I will also arrange round-trip air tickets from France, and you will be responsible for the rest of the food and accommodation expenses.

Trezeguet was not ashamed, Henry realized that Trezeguet had already walked forward shamelessly, Henry turned his head and shouted at him: I have accepted the ticket, you should keep the ticket to watch the match, remember to bring it with you. Get on the camera and take a picture of me on the court!

The conversation between the two made the teammates of both teams couldn't help but bow their heads and smile, and when the game started. Players from both teams were fully committed. Real swords and guns began to fight...

competition is over. Monaco fell, Henry fell.

He lay on the turf looking at the night sky, full of unwillingness, but at this moment he was recalling his semi-single-handed goal in the first round. He blamed himself especially.

Why not go faster?

Why?

Faster, Southgate may not even have a chance to foul, or maybe he will fall in the penalty area, not only let the opponent get a red card, but also a penalty kick!

If Monaco can beat Millwall away in the first round and return home, they will have a chance to win, and Millwall will be more aggressive in attacking. When Monaco fights back against the opponent, its own speed advantage will also have more room to play!

Hey, get up, you should thank the home team fans, the boss asked us to do this every home game. This is the tradition of the club, and Monaco should do the same.

Henry opened his eyes and found that Trezeguet was shirtless and bent over to reach out to him. He reached out and shook hands with the other party. Then Trezeguet pulled him up from the ground. Henry sighed from the bottom of his heart: I really envy you! You are going to the final, and if you are lucky, you can become the champion of the Champions League.

Trezeguet grinned and said airily: What is good luck? If you are lucky, we will be the champions of the Champions League. If you are not lucky, we will still be the champions of the Champions League!

Henry smiled wryly: I don't know where your confidence comes from. The opponent in the final is Real Madrid.

We don't care who our opponent is in the final, are we confident? Maybe.

Trezeguet involuntarily looked at Aldridge who was hugging Bout on the other side of the court.

Henry followed his gaze, and his eyes were also locked on the back of Aldridge, that magical young coach who is one year older than him, oh no, if he can win the Champions League, he is not magical, but Legendary Marshal!

He suddenly remembered that his agent had chatted with him. Millwall was interested in acquiring him last summer. Although there was no formal negotiation between the club and the club on the stage, privately, there was a trial between the two coaches and the agent. ** Flow, Monaco rejected Millwall, Tigana did not want to let him go.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Aldridge pursued him three times. The first time was in the summer of 1994. Wenger didn't let go. Aldridge took Thuram away from Monaco, and the second time was half a year later. Two months after Wenger left get out of class, in the winter transfer window, Aldridge once again asked for Henry, but Monaco refused. The third time was the private communication with Tigana last summer.

Before he had an agent, Henry’s information channels were closed, and Aldridge was also known for his low-key in the transfer market. He would never seduce players through media platforms, which would damage the relationship between clubs, so Mill In the transfer market, whether Wall is signing or transferring players, there is a strong sense of mystery and unpredictability. The media speculates in many ways as soon as the transfer window arrives, but they are far from the truth.

Trezeguet hugged Henry, then turned and walked to his teammates to thank the fans who came to cheer them on the road.

Henry looked at his friend's back feeling lost, and his mood suddenly became very complicated.

In terms of football background, Henry, who came from Clairefontaine, can be described as the pride of heaven, while Trezeguet played wild football in Argentina. Before moving to Millwall, he also played for a low-level grassroots club in Argentina.

But in the four years at Millwall, Trezeguet has made rapid progress every year, and his development prospects are very good, because in these four years, he has laid a very good foundation. Regardless of skill or physical or game awareness.

And the champion, won the soft hand, swept England's domestic competition, and also gained honor in the European war. Now, he is striding forward to the club's highest honor...

At the post-match press conference, Aldridge arrived late. Today's victory is of great significance. After the game, he stayed with the players for a long time. Now the locker room is full of joy.

The French journalists present were downcast. The media in other countries were very excited. And Fleet Street. Just wanted to celebrate Millwall with flowers!

This is the second time an English team has reached the final of the Champions League since Liverpool reached the final in the Heysel tragedy in 1985!

English football has experienced a five-year European ban. After the ban was lifted, they stopped qualifying and were disastrously eliminated in the group stage. Last year, Manchester United entered the semi-finals of the Champions League. This year Millwall made it to the final, such a clear resurgent upward trajectory.

After an absence of 13 years, England finally has another team capable of attacking the highest honor of European clubs!

Some older reporters on Fleet Street couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. No one could have imagined that Millwall, a notorious hooligan team four years ago, could carry the banner of England in the European war.

This can't help but bring back fond memories for them.

Once, England was the king of Europe. There is no doubt that the English team dominated an era, just like Italy in recent years, from 1975 to 1985. The English team broke into the Champions League final 9 times, won the championship 7 times and runner-up twice, and created an unprecedented six consecutive championships for the League One team.

In such memories, many Fleet Street reporters got carried away, thinking that England's trough period has passed. It's time to announce the return of England's King to Europe, and once again rise strongly in Europa!

The press conference scene suddenly turned into an argument and mutual ridicule among reporters.

English reporters talked about the Premier League's impact on the throne of Europe's first league. The improvement in the results of the European war is obviously a proof.

This made the French journalists completely unbearable.

You fucking won the ball, and you still want to show off your power here, it's a bit deceptive.

So they proposed that Real Madrid had won five consecutive championships, entered the UEFA Champions League 8 times in 11 years, entered the finals 6 times, and won 2 runners-up. The glory created by the team.

Fleet Street reporters retorted: The Champions League was just held in the 1950s, and it was an invitational match plus a friendly match. Real Madrid, which won five consecutive championships, even if you add the championship in 1966, it is indeed remarkable only by the number of trophies, but And after that? Only participated in the final once in 30 years and lost to Liverpool. In the nearly 30 years of European football history, Real Madrid? Sorry, that's just a La Liga giant, second only.

French reporters and English reporters were at loggerheads. Other reporters watched the show and thought today's press conference was very interesting. The news actually came from their peers.

Aldridge didn't say a word, and when the two sides were arguing endlessly, he took advantage of a gap and asked, Can I go?

No! Mr. Hall, what do you think?

Everyone doesn't want Aldridge to stay out of the matter, hoping that he will express his views.

Aldridge glanced at the press officer at the scene, and the other party seemed unwilling to let him go, even though the appointed time had passed long ago.

He had no choice but to say: I have a friend who loves beauty. When I was young, when summer came, she saw the new dresses in the window of fashion shops and thought they were very beautiful. She liked them very much, so she kept saying to me: If I wear those dresses How beautiful the dress will be. I said to her at the time: But you haven’t put it on yet. Later, I bought that dress and gave it to her. After she put it on, I said to her: You put it on It is indeed beautiful. Good-bye, gentlemen.

Aldridge got up and left.

The scene was silent, and after about half a minute, the voices of journalists from various countries bowing their heads and snickering gradually came out, and it became louder and louder.

The reporters in Fleet Street were livid.

Damn, Aldridge, turn your elbows outward!

This young marshal is so hateful, he always beat around the bush when teaching others.

Isn't it just satirizing the delusions of Fleet Street reporters?

The reporters from other countries nodded. This young marshal is a sensible person: If you don't get the honor, you are so proud!

Aldrich actually doesn’t dislike the arrogance and arrogance of Fleet Street at times. Originally, the voice they represent is England, which is also in line with the national characteristics. They are arrogant and arrogant. After 13 years of depression, they have become sick. Suddenly they can vent, and it is naturally too much. , nothing to blame.

But he has to stay sober. At the same time, it is a fact that the Premier League is rising strongly, but it is still far from being able to hit the strength of the first league.

Now it is still a stage of catching up. When the concept of truly having a strong impact and dominance on Europe, it will take seven years in the original history. The number of Premier League teams in the final is the most. Although Barcelona has won three championships by itself, the strength of the Premier League is obvious to all. At that stage, Europe also entered a mode of creating a modern super team. Among them, there is only one core factor that changes the pattern of the old era: money.

Millwall led by Aldridge has changed history, but he also knows that Millwall cannot represent the strength of the entire Premier League. He just used his foresight to build a super strong team in advance, and does not represent the level or competition of the entire Premier League. Power has reached a level of qualitative change.

When boarding the bus to the airport, the seat next to Aldrich was always occupied by Jenson, but it was taken away by Ivan today, she gritted her teeth and whispered to Aldrich in a sinister voice: You have a friend who loves beauty huh? Why don't I remember!

After finishing speaking, she mercilessly stepped on Aldrich's foot... ()
