The Young Lion

In the final period of the game, Millwall really couldn't attack. It wasn't that the ball couldn't pass, but the players couldn't maintain a fast-paced high-speed running to catch the ball.

The two full-backs were exhausted and out of breath. After being led by Inter Milan 2:0, Zambrotta and Schneider frequently stepped in. The intensity of running straight up and down was amazing. Now the game came to the end, Aldridge Replacing Ronaldinho with Gattuso is a signal to strengthen the defense.

Aldridge sat back and drank his saliva, watching the game with a calm expression.

Inter Milan suffered four consecutive hits in half an hour, and the players were crazy at the moment.

However, the effect of their strong play in the middle is very poor. With Gattuso joining the defense in the middle and Nedved taking the initiative to retreat, Millwall is not worried at all about the opponent's attack from the middle. In the dense defensive area, the international It is indeed very difficult for Milan's superstars to make a fuss.

Coe also put in an assist and participated in the coordinated attack in the middle, but in this way, there were more people in the middle, there was no room for passing and cutting, and Inter Milan made frequent mistakes. The latter passed the ball diagonally to the unmarked Van der Meyde on the right.

After receiving the ball, the Dutchman went over the top to find his compatriots. Ruud van Nistelrooy succeeded in offside, but he failed to stop the ball on the penalty area line. The ball bounced on his instep and landed a little far away from him. Pagliuca Hit the ball into your arms.

The two full-backs of Inter Milan also stepped forward to attack at this time. Zanetti dribbled the ball all the way forward from the side, and cooperated with Djorkaeff to break through Nedved's defense. Zanetti continued to dribble the ball along the wing, and at a 45-degree angle, he did not wait for Gianluca Gianluca to press and then made a cross.

Materazzi made a header to clear the siege, Inter Milan grabbed the spot from the outside, Coe shot a long shot and was blocked by Bute, Ronaldo stretched out his foot to shoot before Southgate, but unfortunately the angle was not good enough, Butt didn't need it He used standard movements to save the ball, but he blocked the ball with his upper arm.

In chaos. Baggio burst out and almost kneeled the ball into Millwall's goal.

The goal is scored again! Inter Milan pulled one back, Baggio's goal gave Inter Milan a chance, with 4 minutes left in the game, the score was 4:5, Inter Milan is now only one goal behind Millwall!

Meazza's Inter Milan fans seemed to be revived in an instant, shouting hard in the stands, encouraging the team to make persistent efforts and score goals. Goal, and then he-damn score a few more!

It's a crazy game.

Aldridge was unmoved in the face of the team conceding the ball.

When Millwall kicked off again,

Nedved returns the ball. Does not run forward. Millwall delays time by turning their feet. They can't run anymore, the score is ahead, and the game is about to end. This kind of delaying tactic does not feel ashamed to use it. Others can accuse Millwall of delaying time, they can explain it as controlling the rhythm and patiently looking for opportunities.

When Inter Milan was pressing the whole court, Millwall made consecutive inversions in the backcourt within one minute of kick-off, and finally Schneider sent the ball forward with a long pass from the backcourt.

Ruud really caught the ball. However, he wanted to turn around with the ball, but was directly destroyed by West's big foot and drove out of the sideline.

At this moment, the referee signaled for a substitution on the sidelines.

Millwall used the last substitution. The intention is also very clear, delaying time.

Ferdinand came on, replacing Ruud van Nistelrooy who scored twice today.

The players of Inter Milan urged Van Nistelrooy to leave the field quickly, and the referee also ran over to tell Van Nistelrooy to leave quickly. Van Nistelrooy first shook hands with the referee in a friendly manner, and then made a trotting movement, but the steps were very small. When he walked to the sidelines to complete the substitution with Ferdinand, it took at least another 30 seconds.

Inter Milan didn't fight anywhere, and the most hateful thing is that Millwall still owns the ball.

Nedved looked around with the ball in his arms, waiting for the catcher to come up, and it took seven or eight seconds before he threw the ball to Van der Meyde.

As soon as Van der Meyde took the ball, many Inter Milan players rushed up to surround him, and Van der Meyer passed the ball back to Nedved.

Inter Milan's players pounced on Nedved again, but the Czech suddenly accelerated and broke through.

His choice caught his opponent by surprise.

He broke through the opponent's entire defense line directly on the sideline!

But if he cuts in with the ball towards the goal, he will definitely be blocked halfway, because in terms of distance, he is farther away from the goal.

Nedved dribbled the ball all the way down to the corner flag, and then protected the ball and carried the Inter Milan players with their backs. No matter how hard they tried to grab the ball, Simeone became furious and pushed directly to Ned. Wade, the referee blew his whistle to indicate a foul, and Millwall continued to keep the ball.

Two minutes of stoppage time have passed. Millwall has barely allowed Inter Milan the ball in the past three minutes. If Inter Milan can't even get the ball, how can they equalize?

Attacking with a set kick in the frontcourt, there are two people in front of Millwall, Van der Meyde who kicks off, and Nedved who is ready to receive the ball.

Baggio ran to Nedved's side, but Van der Meyde refused to kick-off, and reached out to signal to the referee: The distance of the opponent's retreat is not enough!

The referee warned Baggio, and Baggio complained to the referee that Millwall was deliberately delaying time.

The referee ignored it, and Baggio had no choice but to walk away.

Sure enough, Nedved dribbled the ball to the corner flag after receiving the ball, and the Inter fans at San Siro began booing loudly.

The defending champion gave up his face for victory!

Aldridge didn't really mind it, it was just a very common strategy on the football field, and after the game was over, no one would accuse Millwall of doing something wrong, at most it looked a bit ugly now.

What's more, doing this is to kill the opponent's fighting spirit and make the opponent's formation have to retreat, otherwise the battle line will be stretched, and even if they get the ball, the requirements for passing accuracy are too high.

Nedved protected the ball again, and this time Simeone and Gallant broke the ball from his feet, and then drove forward with a big foot.

Lampard, who was stuck in the position, made a header and the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Inter Milan faced the reversed ending in despair.

The wonderful confrontation came to an end. The two teams each played a wonderful half. The winner of the first half was Inter Milan. In the second half, Millwall scored four goals in 30 minutes and directly snatched the victory from Inter Milan. Looking back, the qualifying situation of this group is not difficult to predict. Inter Milan and Millwall are the favorites to qualify, but Inter Milan, which lost in the first game, wants to get a place for promotion. I am afraid that it will have to kill the other two opponents in the same group. They can't afford to lose anymore. If they lose another game, Inter Milan can only get 12 points in theory, and there is another matchup with Millwall. The good factor is that the other two opponents in the same group are not strong enough. It’s too strong. Congratulations to Millwall for winning. We thought the defending champion’s competitiveness had plummeted, but we didn’t expect them to respond to doubts with 5 goals in the away game and take away the victory at Meazza. It’s enough to show that he is still Champions League favorites.

The Millwall players showed smiles at the end of the game. Many young people were very excited about today's victory because they were playing against Inter Milan. More precisely because the opposing team has a superstar like Ronaldo Baggio in it.

Aldridge got up and shook hands with Hodgson. The two didn't communicate any more.

There was no joy in his expression.

There were 9 goals in the whole game, and there were many wonderful shots. The audience will think that this is a classic confrontation battle after appreciating the game.

But Aldrich was not happy.

What he cares more about is that the team conceded 4 goals. There are many factors that can score 5 goals. The most important thing is that Millwall is not the leader of the game. Adjust countermeasures. Behind the game, Millwall failed to dominate the game, but only relied on the players' personal ability and fighting spirit to change the trend of the game.

Walking into the locker room after the game, Aldridge said to all the players with a calm expression: Today's victory is commendable, and I am very happy with your desire to win. But the Champions League has just begun, and we have made a good start. Thousands Never be complacent.

He didn't say too much, it wasn't necessary, it was enough to keep the players clear-headed.

As for the problem of conceding four goals, he will not mention it again until he returns to London in training.

When participating in the post-match press conference, Aldridge was silent for half a minute in the face of Giancarlo's sharp questions.

Although Millwall scored five goals in this game, the defense conceded four goals. This figure is almost equal to the total number of goals conceded in your six games in the group stage last season. It is Millwall's goal. Is the reason for the sharp decline in the quality of defense?

After being silent, Aldridge replied calmly: Our defense line is not a big problem. In fact, it is caused by the situation of the game. After 2:0, we must attack. The more we attack, the greater the pressure on the defense. At 3:1, I also realized that since I can’t keep it, it depends on who gets in more.”

Inter Milan conceded four goals in a row in 30 minutes in the second half. What is the reason?

Football games are not science. It is difficult for you to use reasoning to find all the reasons, morale, mentality, performance at critical moments, etc. in a goal or conceded goal. I can't describe it in words, but in general , Millwall was more adaptable to the game in the second half and played better. We were a little slow to enter the game at the beginning of the first half, and our opponent quickly scored 2 goals. It was not until the second half that we completely got rid of the pressure and played away. Despite unfavorable factors such as being behind in the score, they played at the top level.

Aldridge doesn't think this victory means anything, especially not that Millwall is not far from last season's level.

If it is the Millwall team last season, even if they are a guest, they will not give the opponent so many opportunities to attack. What determines the final result of the game is the performance of the players who finish the goal, rather than a more stable accumulation of advantages. Race to beat your opponent.

After the end of the press conference, Aldridge was ready to return to London, but he received an invitation from Moratti.

Let the whole team go to the airport and return to London. Aldrich and Moratti had supper at a high-end restaurant in Milan.

The restaurant was close to closing and there were not many people, but the paparazzi still tracked down the picture of Moratti and Aldrich sitting opposite each other in the restaurant.

In the past, the two always communicated on the phone, and they met once in Xia Tian, ​​and they sat together again today, just like a small gathering between friends.

Moratti asked Aldridge for advice on running the club, especially the experience of team management.

He hopes that learning from Aldridge can help him quickly build Inter Milan into a Serie A giant.

He is not short of money, and he puts all his energy into it, so the two of them don't talk much about the management of the club.

Aldrich unreservedly explained his experience to him, especially emphasizing the importance of a stable lineup, a stable team, and stable technical and tactical play.

From the players to the head coach, as well as the team's skills and tactics, if there are frequent major changes in these three, then the team will naturally be affected.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let Moratti be a little patient, and at the same time give the head coach more trust, and let the head coach build the team according to his own ideas.

But this is still very difficult in Serie A. The head coach here is the head coach. Unlike the head coaches in the Premier League who have manager attributes and can participate in transfer work, basically Serie A coaches, even big-name coaches, will also be involved in player transfers. It was very unpleasant to have trouble with the club.

Regardless of whether Moratti listened to it or not, the headlines in Milan City the next day were: Moratti met Hall to discuss Nedved/Gambrotta/... transfer matters. ()
