The Young Lion

Real Madrid kicked off first in the first half. Although there were many Real Madrid fans in the stadium, the Millwall fans were even more powerful. Under the coordination and organization of the leaders of various fan groups, from before the start of the game, they He sang Millwall's songs repeatedly, especially the first part, which he repeated endlessly: Millwall, go!

Millwall rushed, really rushed.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the defensive counterattack tactics that have been emphasized, exaggerated, and spread before the game have gone to hell!

In Aldridge's memory, the final result of this final in history was that Real Madrid beat Juventus with one goal and won the championship. Although the goal that appeared was suspected of being offside, the way it appeared was a two-point attack. In other words, neither Real Madrid nor Juventus had a great opportunity for a frontal attack, unlike the historical situation where Bayern completely kneeled the goalpost and crossbar in the final next year.

The final was played conservatively, which is understandable, especially when Real Madrid meets Juventus, a team like Juventus, where defensive counterattacks are commonplace in Italy.

Millwall can play defensively and counterattack, but Aldridge doesn't want to play like that.

Real Madrid's offensive line is gorgeous. Not only are they super capable in the midfield, but even the full-backs have a pervert like Carlos who dominates the side.

But Real Madrid's defense is not necessarily so good. They have conceded only 32 goals in 42 league rounds when Fabio Capello was in charge last season. They have conceded 45 goals in 38 league rounds this season. It is obvious. , their defense is not particularly good.

Therefore, if Millwall does not press up on the defensive counterattack and invests less troops in the offense, Real Madrid's defense is probably happy to see it.

Millwall will be playing Total Defense today!

This is not the safest tactic, as there is no sure-win tactic, but Aldrich weighed active offense and defensive counterattack, and chose the former, believing that the former has a higher chance of bringing the championship.

After the opening, Millwall's oppressive offense and defense surprised the Real Madrid players.

The opponent grabbed so fiercely. Are you not afraid of being hit back if you attack so aggressively?

Afraid? Is it useful?

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and today we will risk our lives!

Millwall took the initiative from the beginning of the game, relying on Pirlo's scheduling in the midfield when attacking, and the full-backs stepped in at the right time. They played an overall teamwork. Due to the delay in the organization area,

Real Madrid has concerns about blocking the starting point of the attack. If the defensive line is pressed forward, it will be easy for the three lines to widen the distance to give the opponent a chance to break through layers.

In the fourth minute of the game, Pirlo made a direct pass from the left. Capdevila dribbled the ball directly in front of Kalumbu and forced a breakthrough. While keeping pace with the opponent, the ball was given to Nedved who lapped the edge. After Nedved got the ball, he passed the ball back without waiting for Redondo to press it. Makelele received the ball. Raul was about to get close, and he kicked the ball back to Pirlo.

Pirlo made a wonderful through pass after stopping the ball. The ball was passed directly to Real Madrid's penalty area, and Trezeguet dropped back to respond. Redondo was attracted by Nedved just now, leaving the center pass wide open.

Larsson's oblique insertion into the ribs made Hierro sound the alarm. Trezeguet really went straight to this side, but Larsson ran past. Was it a pass error?

of course not!

The ball rolled past Larsson, Nedved inserted it in time, dribbled the ball into the penalty area and volleyed at a 45-degree angle. Ilgner didn't dare to neglect, and directly blocked the ball out of the baseline.

The corner kick didn't wait for Pirlo to run, Larson ran over and chose to drive quickly, not giving Real Madrid a chance to completely set up a defensive formation, and Capdevila paused in rhythm after taking the ball. Then he kicked the ball suddenly, and Shevchenko nodded the ball in the back. Although the ball was wide, it still won the applause of the Lions fans at the scene.

Millwall entered the game very quickly from the start today. No one expected that Millwall, who had been relying on defensive counterattacks all the way to the final, would actually attack Real Madrid in the final! They don't worry about the defense. Is it? Maybe it was Hall's gamble, just don't know how it will play out.

Under such circumstances, Real Madrid will of course fight Millwall's counterattack.

Whenever the transition from defense to offense was successful, they immediately organized a quick counterattack. Two minutes later, Redondo received the ball from Hierro, turned around and sent a long pass. He was looking for Raul in front of him.

But Raul failed to receive the ball, but was blocked by Makelele before the ball landed and passed the ball to Schneider on the wing with a header.

Redondo, a defensive midfielder, has precise interception and prediction, elegant stealing movements, and what's more sharp is that he has an excellent overall view, and occasionally sends the striker a pass.

Facing this kind of role, Millwall is no stranger, at least when he played Barcelona, ​​Guardiola was such a similar role.

Whenever Millwall's attack ends, Trezeguet will go to Redondo as soon as possible. No matter whether the ball is passed to Redondo or not, he will interfere with the opponent, and Nedved will go faster. Run back, dragging in front of Seedorf and Karenbu's forward line.

Pirlo and Makelele formed a double midfielder when defending, blocking the opponent's central midfielder from advancing.

When Millwall attacked, he relied on the cooperation of the overall forward pressure and smooth flow. The opponent only had 7 people to defend in the second half, while Millwall plus the full-back who assisted on one side, had 6 people to attack, although the number of players was different. , but in order to maintain a static and reasonable defensive formation, Real Madrid fell into a passive position in the face of Millwall's offensive players concentrated and strong.

In the 9th minute, Larson crossed positions with Trezeguet in front of the penalty area. He made Hierro and Sanchez defensive loopholes. Trezeguet got a shot from the left rib of the penalty area, from Ned Wade's kick went straight, and Trezeguet's shot was blocked by Ilgner.

In the 13th minute, Capdevila slanted a long pass. Shevchenko took the ball and cut inside and pulled out the space in front of the penalty area. Nedved pressed into the penalty area and took away Redondo. Pirlo assisted Shevchenko Vchenko's return pass kicked a long shot slightly over the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Schneider made a 45-degree cross. Larsson nodded the ball behind the goal. Top the bottom line.

Real Madrid was completely helpless in the first 20 minutes.

Their threatening through balls when turning from defense to offense cannot pass the level of Makelele. If they stabilize the rhythm and slowly advance, Millwall returns to the defense in a layered manner and then presses wildly, and they will lose quickly. possession of the ball.

Aldridge watched on the sidelines as the stormy attacks failed to score. It is a lie to say no regrets in my heart.

The 11 players on the field, as short as three years, as long as four years, have been fully trained and formed, their skills and tactics have reached a high level, coupled with the maturity of physical and technical characteristics, the team formed by them is already impeccable.

But this does not mean that this team is invincible, but within their ability, they have reached the peak, if there is any deficiency. What can be improved. That is only given time. Let them accumulate more experience, from mature to sophisticated, from fierce and brave lions to invulnerable old monsters.

Millwall was about to play to all their strengths today.

The excellent physical fitness required by Total Attack and Total Defense, the tacit understanding required by teamwork and the skillful passing and control skills. At least in these two aspects, Aldridge believes that Millwall is definitely above Real Madrid!

The Wild Lions fans in the stands sighed again and again for the team's failure to shoot, but after each sigh, there would be waves of applause from the stands. All the Wild Lions fans stood watching the game and saw the fighting spirit shown by the team today Their courage and courage make them extremely proud.

Today, Millwall and Real Madrid are evenly divided in the championship predictions, but the scene fell one-sided after the opening.

The coordination of Millwall's overall advancement has reached an amazing level, even against a team of Real Madrid's level. They kicked the ball, and the players changed positions and moved, bringing the game into a rhythm where Real Madrid players were at a loss.

Pass the ball quickly, move clearly, and threaten the ball frequently.

With the tireless efforts of Millwall. In the 24th minute of the game, they played an exquisite cooperation.

After Nedved and Pirlo passed each other twice, Pirlo distributed the ball to Capdevila who was plugged in, and then Pirlo plugged in, and Nedved rushed directly to the hinterland of the penalty area.

Capdevila crossed the middle, and the ball rolled on the route. Pirlo was obviously able to get the ball, and Redondo was ready to steal him, but Pirlo missed the ball, and Shevchenko, who retreated on the other side, unexpectedly Facing the ball with a straight kick, Trezeguet and Larsson crossed positions again. Larsson crossed from the left to the right. He and Trezeguet made Real Madrid's defense dizzy, and Larsson Facing the through ball, he turned around forcibly and then made a strong cross pass to the back of the goal. Seeing his action, almost everyone thought he was shooting!

But when the ball rolled to the point behind the goal, Nedved easily pushed the ball into Real Madrid's goal.

Millwall scored! Pavel Nedved opened the scoring, his goal came from Larsson's assist, two Millwall stars completed a brilliant combination, but enjoyed the goal from the beginning to the end , Millwall left a classic team goal in the Champions League final! Pirlo, Nedved, Capdevila, Shevchenko, Larsson, the five passed with one foot many times, especially Although Rezeguet did not touch the ball, his running position attracted the attention of the defense. Shevchenko penetrated the opponent's defense through a straight pass. Larsson made a cross pass that was unexpected, but Nedved was not surprised. It can be seen from his running line at the beginning that he consciously outflanked the point behind the goal, and the ball arrived as expected! This goal will never tire of watching!

In the stands of the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, Wild Lions fans jumped up and down, excited about this goal. The fans on the sidelines even hoped that Nedved would come over to celebrate quickly, and they wanted to cheer for the hero at close range.

However, after scoring the goal, Nedved ran towards the coach's bench, and at the same time waved to his teammates on the way, and everyone followed his footsteps and ran towards this side.

Aldridge was ready to embrace and celebrate with the players, but Nedved and the others slowed down on the sidelines.

Jenson rushed from behind Aldridge and threw a jersey to Nedved.

Nedved took the jersey and held it up high, showing the back to Aldridge.

It's a No. 22 jersey with the name above the number: Aldrich Hall.

There are two English words below the number: happy -!

Millwall's first 11 players and the players on the bench obviously had a premeditated plan. They surrounded Aldridge and shouted in unison: Boss, happy birthday! ()
