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

Of course Aldrich remembered his birthday, but he never set up a name to hold a celebration party, nor did he make a big publicity so that everyone knew it, as if others didn't know and didn't bless him, so he was very miserable.

Furthermore, May 20th is the day of the Champions League final. At this time, the head coach jumped out and said, Today is my birthday. Isn't this just looking for something to distract the players?

As soon as the head coach Jinkou opened his mouth, the players and colleagues around him, do they pay attention or not?

If you don't pay attention to it, will the impression score in the head coach's heart drop immediately?

If you pay attention, how should you pay attention?

Reasonably, Aldrich doesn't even want outsiders to know that today is his birthday.

Today he received blessings from friends and relatives on the phone, that's all, three hours before the game, he put it all behind him, and even when Nedved held up the jersey and the whole team congratulated him, he realized again : The birthday I just forgot, is back again.

The disciples had this intention, and Aldridge was so moved that he didn't even know what to say, he could only hug each player.

In the stands where Brady was, he folded his arms and smiled, and the stands quickly attracted the attention of the live camera.

Because the Lion Roar fan organization used their traditional way to play slogans in the stands here.

Several rows of fans turned around, and the oversized English letters behind them formed words, which were arranged in an orderly manner to form the slogan.

Aldrich Hall

Legendary Marshal

Having you is equal to having happiness

Salute to you: happy birthday!

On May 20, 1994, Aldridge returned to East London on his 18th birthday, and received a birthday gift from his elder brother: the Millwall Football Club in the League One.

Four years later, on May 20, 1998, the European Champions Cup final, Millwall now leads Real Madrid by one goal!

It turns out that today is Millwall manager Hall's birthday.

It was truly a special moment, with the Millwall players congratulating him after the goal. In the stands, there were also fans of the Wild Lions who played blessing signs. This is definitely a classic scene in the history of the Champions League final. The 22-year-old young coach officially took charge of the team for four years, four years, and gave others four years. What can he do? Aldridge has allowed a team in the second level of English football to reach the height of the Champions League final step by step in four years. In four years, there are 8 championship trophies, even if the Community Shield and the European Super Cup are excluded. , he still has 6 glittering trophies. He is indeed young. His coaching level should not be underestimated by his youth. No one is qualified to question this. On this special day, we should also send blessings: Aldrich Hall, happy birthday!

Aldridge was embarrassed by the players. It is rare to show a shy side when commanding from the sidelines.

After the celebration, the players encouraged each other. Scoring a goal is only a temporary lead, and their tactics will not change. This is what Aldridge has repeatedly emphasized before the game, unless they lead by three goals!

Even a two-goal lead is not safe.

Real Madrid tried to counterattack after losing the ball, but they found that Millwall on the opposite side had no intention of recovering at all. They were still pressing and attacking, using their mercury-like teamwork to threaten Real Madrid's gate time and time again.

Heynckes frowned deeply watching from the sidelines.

In fact, many teams hesitated a little when they encountered Real Madrid. They all use a way of closing and hitting to face them.

This style of play cannot be said to be wrong, but it helped Real Madrid in disguise, because the opponent's weakness is defense. Once the pressure on their defense is not so great, then Real Madrid's offense will destroy the opponent like a mountain. This is a tactical error.

Millwall did the opposite, attacking oppressively. If Real Madrid wanted to defend, they had to invest more troops in defense, which in turn weakened their offense.

Since the opening game today, Seedorf and Kalumbu have hardly played any offense, because their absolute speed is not fast. When they switch from defense to offense, their starting position is close to the penalty area. If you choose to dribble forward, then Millwall's overall retreat speed is faster than their dribbling speed, which will form a siege.

But when they played the ball, because the front line was stretched, the success rate of the pass dropped, and it was intercepted by Millwall's backcourt defenders.

After losing the ball, the offense did not go up, and the defense was not stable. Real Madrid immediately retreated across the board. First, stabilize the situation and avoid being beaten by the opponent in a game period. No more kicking.

As Real Madrid shrunk, Millwall fought around the opponent. Pirlo's long-range shot hit the crossbar and bounced off the crossbar. The fans in the stands let out a loud sigh.

If the ball goes in, that would be great!

At this time, no one would have thought that Pirlo's long shot hitting the crossbar in the 31st minute became the beginning of Millwall's maddening bad luck in this game!

Before the end of the first half, Millwall's corner kick was thrown into the penalty area. In the chaos, Trezeguet shot from close range and was blocked by Hierro. The ball hit his leg and bounced towards the top of the goal. Hit the crossbar, bounced out and landed on the ground, and was held in Ilgner's arms after a bounce.

Crossbar twice.

During the halftime break, Aldridge went into the locker room to ask about the status of the players. Today they played total defense, physical consumption is a severe test, and they strive to resolve the battle within 90 minutes. Real Madrid had no chance in the first half. Wall's opening attitude was confused. Without a timely and good contingency strategy, the game became more and more heavy. However, Heynckes will definitely make adjustments during the halftime break. It is impossible for Millwall to face the panicked team in the second half. of Real Madrid.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Millwall's fighting spirit was even stronger. It was still the rhythm of the first half, pressing down on Real Madrid. The first attack received a miraculous effect. Larson and Shevchenko ran to the same team On the one hand, using a quick two-and-one reverse offside to successfully hit a one-handed ball, Larson pushed a shot to the far corner of the goal. Irgner could only look at the ball and sigh, but the ball hit the post and bounced out!

Only then did the fans in the stands realize: This luck is too bad!

Mahle Gobi, less than 50 minutes. Two crossbars and one goal post, Millwall doesn't need more, just one can rewrite the score to 2:0.

Aldridge shook his head slightly with his hands on his hips on the sidelines.

It is hard to say that this is a luck factor, because whether the ball will enter or not is a scientific question of whether it will enter the goal. Even if there is a strong wind and the ball is blown out of the goal, the gust of wind is not called by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid can only play defensive counterattacks, and made a clear change in the second half. After switching from defense to offense, they no longer pass through the midfield, but stay on the side.

Three minutes later, Nedved headed into the penalty area to meet Schneider's cross from the wing. Ilgna holds the ball firmly. Then ran to the penalty area line and threw the ball to the left with a hand throw.

Schneider has already retreated at full speed after the cross. But someone is faster than him, Brazil gold left foot Roberto - Carlos!

He's quicker, there's no doubting it, especially when the offense starts. He doesn't need to stop the ball to move forward. Ilgner's hand throw is to throw the space behind Schneider. Carlos speeds up along the sidewalk. Schneider changes the route halfway through running. Instead, he ran towards the ribs of his own penalty area, intending to let Makelele block Carlos, slow down the opponent's rhythm, and then go to make up for himself.

Makelele knew the opponent's intentions only by looking at Schneider's movement. Glancing at the situation around him, Pirlo retreated and stared at Raul. In terms of the number of defenders, Milwald was the only one.

He moved to the right side, not daring to pounce too hard. Afraid that Carlos would cross the middle to seedorf who plugged in.

But Carlos has a tendency to take the ball to the baseline. Around a 45-degree angle, Carlos unexpectedly chooses a long shot!

Yes, at least it looked like the ball was headed for the goal.

This heavy bombardment was too surprising. Although Bout was fully prepared, he was also taken aback. In addition, the ball was so heavy that he could only block the ball out. Pirlo hadn't turned around after taking the ball from the outside. But it was intercepted by Raul, and Raul then shot from outside the penalty area.

Bout fell to the ground and the ball was blocked again, and there was chaos in the penalty area for a while.

Mijatovic got the ball, he took the opportunity to move forward, Southgate stretched out his foot to block, but did not touch the ball, Mijatovic fell to the ground, the referee blew to stop the game, and pointed ball point.

Southgate roared angrily at the referee: I didn't touch him! It was a fucking misjudgment!

Aldridge immediately raised his right hand and shook his index finger back and forth angrily on the sidelines, and shouted to the fourth official: That is definitely not a penalty, absolutely not! It was Mijatovic who fell on purpose. He I just want a penalty! If the referee doesn’t want to be ridiculed after the game, he should be punished for diving! It’s him who dived!”

But the fourth official ignored Aldridge, in Europe, which onion is Millwall?

Even if Aldridge was promoted to the altar in England, in front of the behemoth of UEFA, he was as small as a gravel.

Well, this penalty is questionable. The slow motion shows that Southgate stretched his feet, but he didn't touch Mijatovic at all. Mijatovic hit Southgate when he fell to the ground. Special, but in the blink of an eye, it is understandable that the referee did not see clearly, but this will inevitably become the focus of controversy after the game.

The referee insisted on the penalty, and Aldridge stood on the sidelines showing a touch of ridicule while shaking his head constantly.

Although the opponent is suspected of flopping, this flopping opportunity was obtained by Real Madrid's capture of the two-point attack. Their first wave of frontal attack or counterattack could not threaten Millwall's gate at all, but for all top players For the defense of a strong team, frontal defense is not difficult, but the difficulty is the unpredictable second and third offense.

Raul stood in front of the penalty spot. When the referee blew his whistle, Raul ran up and kicked the ball into a theoretical dead corner with moderate force. Bout missed the correct direction and watched the ball go into the net.

Real Madrid equalized the score with a penalty kick! 1:1, although they are not dominant in the situation on the field, at least they are not behind in the score to their opponents, which makes their mentality at least not become anxious as time goes by.

Aldridge continued to applaud the players on the sidelines to let them recover from the blow of conceding the ball, and at the same time encouraged the fans to make their cheers louder.

Forget about the penalty kick just now, focus on football, don't think about anything else, there is plenty of game time, we can win!

If it was a normal and reasonable penalty, Aldridge would not yell such words at the players.

But a suspected diving penalty will make the players feel dissatisfied. Aldridge must let them focus on where they should be!

If you feel wronged in your heart, if you focus on arguing with the referee and fighting against your opponent, then this game will undoubtedly be lost!

Southgate shouted to his teammates with a firm face: Come on, let's score again!

Nedved, who has never talked much but infected his teammates with practical actions, ran at high speed after kick-off, driving the offensive movement, which immediately cheered up Millwall and maintained his previous high-level performance. ()
