The Young Lion

Aldrich thought he was being photographed.

Don't expect much from Zaccheroni.

Aldridge only realized it when the third goal was scored.

It is not to deny the opponent's coaching ability, but to replace him with Zaccheroni. In the situation of two goals behind, there are not many choices, especially considering the background of qualifying for the Champions League group stage.

Of course, if he were to coach the current Milan team, as a guest against Millwall who is in full swing, although it is impossible to put up a defensive formation with 5 defenders, the configuration of 4 defenders + 2 defensive midfielders is essential. In addition to defensive counterattacks , can there be more choices?

But maybe Milan came to London with the arrogance of the world's first league champions, and it's because Zaccheroni dared not take the risk to change the team's mature skills and tactics, even if this set has already been used in the new season of Serie A. It proved that the defense has a big problem.

If time goes back 80 minutes and the game restarts, 80 minutes later, the situation may not be as it is now. Conceding the goal in less than a minute of the opening is the basis for directly declaring that Milan has fallen into a comprehensive passivity.

Leading by three goals, is there still suspense in the game?

There is a lot of time left, close to 30 minutes.

Aldridge was still standing on the sidelines watching the battle, he wanted to see how the Rossoneri faced the last half hour.

Will you give up?

Will it actively shrink to avoid the next goal?

Or delay the game and escape from the nightmarish Wembley as soon as possible?

The realistic picture is that Milan seems to be one goal behind, or the score is a tie. They are trying to score goals. Like scoring a goal. They will be victorious.

The midfielders run up and down, utterly unsparing, and their performances command the respect of the crowd.

But in football, winning or losing has nothing to do with respect.

In the 81st minute of the game, Milan's defense line, which had problems with excessive running and physical fitness, was in a hurry.

Pirlo eased past Boban in midfield, dribbled the ball forward, and passed it diagonally in front of Albertini to Nedved who ran out of space.

Henry pulls to the right and Larsson crosses with him. Nedved crossed the ball from the right to Henry.

Henry passed the ball non-stop and sent it straight to Larsson. Milan's defense was vulnerable. Then shoot the far corner and make another victory.

4:0, who would have thought it would be such a score before the game? The Premier League champions beat Serie A champions Milan at Wembley!

Ronaldinho ran up to Larson and knelt down on one knee, taking the initiative to shine shoes for him in celebration.

Larson, who scored twice, was quickly replaced by Aldridge, who greeted the cheers and salutes of the fans.

Aldridge replaced three people at once, the striker trident.

weekend. They still have an important league game to play.

After the substitutions, Aldridge turned and walked to the coach's bench. In his eyes, Milan is now just fighting a trapped beast on the field, making waves of mourning.

The whole game is over, the third round of the UEFA Champions League Group H group stage is over, Millwall defeated Milan 4-0 at Wembley, with 9 points from three victories, almost locked a qualifying place, Milan three With one draw and two losses, only 1 point is accumulated. The next three rounds will be life-and-death battles for Milan. This is probably a situation that everyone did not expect after the results of the group draw. People think that Milan will play against Millwall. Join hands to qualify, but now Milan is very likely to be the first team out of this group! Two weeks later at San Siro, the two teams will meet again. The result of that game may not have much impact on Millwall's fate. But for Milan and the other two teams, it will have a direct impact on the qualifying situation! See you at San Siro in two weeks!

Aldridge calmly shook hands with Zaccheroni and then turned and walked into the tunnel.

The process is enjoyable, but the result does not bring him a strong sense of accomplishment.

Originally, qualifying for the group was a matter of course. After three games, according to the current situation of this group, as long as one of the next three games is won, qualifying will be assured.

This gives him more room for formation and player arrangements, which is a positive factor.

But defeating Milan is not enough to make him proud and proud.

When he came to the post-match press conference, the reporters asked him questions one after another.

Millwall beat Milan 4-0, has your team reached a perfect level?

The 4-0 score is shocking, but actually the score doesn't prove the gap between the two teams, I would say Millwall is stronger, but if we can win 3 or 4 in 10 games against Milan, then It is obviously impossible. I think this is just an ordinary victory. Regardless of the pressure of the qualifying situation, the recent state, and the fact that Milan is a guest from afar, they are all passive. In the environment, they don’t have points pressure, and they don’t have the consumption of labor and expedition, I think the game will be more intense and exciting.”

Aldridge was as low-key as ever.

In fact, Fleet Street has already deciphered Aldrich's intentions.

He doesn't want to boast in front of the media and sing praises for his team, which will lead to complacency and ups and downs in the players' mentality.

Be humble and keep a low profile. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Today, you are so proud that you can touch the sky with your hands. When you are defeated tomorrow, you may be thrown into trouble.

Such a long-term accumulated attitude tone is also a kind of temperament that Aldridge needs to give to the team as the head coach: never think that you are the best, and work tirelessly to break through the peak boundaries set for you by others!

Apart from the factors you mentioned, what caused Milan to lose by a big score?

The goal was conceded in less than a minute, and that goal pushed Milan to the edge of a cliff. Then, we scored two more goals through counterattacks. In the end, they couldn't keep up physically and conceded the fourth. If they hold 6 points, then even if they conceded the goal in the first minute. They can still hold their breath. After all, they are away from home and have a chance to return to home. However, they did not win the previous two group matches. The foreshadowing was laid. However, I have to praise my players. They performed very well today, both offensively and defensively. They all met my requirements. This is also the reason why we are strong. The individual ability of the players is only the foundation, tactical discipline, Factors invisible to the naked eye, such as game devotion and team awareness, are the key to their ability to form a strong team.

The next day, Millwall became the focus of the entire European football.

Not because of their three-game winning streak in the group stage, nor because of beating Milan.

Instead, their two goals in the game were constantly broadcast by football programs in major European media.

23 passes to break the goal, Henry and Ronaldinho teamed up to blow up Milan's 4-man defense in the backcourt. The process of these two goals, the former one is pleasing to the eye. Like a poem full of rhythm, it is difficult to experience the explosive and exciting feeling when watching it. However, with the cooperation of mercury pouring down the ground, the smooth running and passing, and the scoring seems to be a matter of course. The team football has been interpreted to the extreme. Many football critics repeatedly reviewed and commented The whole process of this goal is to carefully analyze the selection of individual player's ball route selection, field position, space utilization and other factors in each pass, as if Millwall is being studied as a precision machine.

As for the second goal, it took a total of 9.3 seconds from when Ronaldinho touched the ball to when Henry scored the goal. In less than 10 seconds, the two through their personal ability and mutual cooperation, tore apart the opponent's defense line. And ingenious, coupled with the collision of Maldini and Ambrosini, make this goal even more exciting when appreciating it.

The commentary when the commentator broke out with passion was also directly used as the background.

No matter what you want to see from a football game, the process of scoring goals can satisfy you the most.

The world of football will never be frozen in the past. No matter how exciting yesterday’s game is, tomorrow, when a new game becomes the focus, the past excitement will be replaced. The battle between Millwall and Milan will continue to be popular after the game. Attention, this is already very valuable, but life is still going on, the war has just come to an end, and a new war is coming quietly, and the smoke of the wolf will never go out.

There were only 12 rounds of the Premier League this season, but after 12 rounds, bookmakers all over Europe have lowered the winning odds of Millwall, the most popular team in the Premier League, to an outrageous level, which is only higher than the bank's regular interest rate With a return rate of 0.2, the odds of winning the Champions League in the same period, Millwall also rose from the third favorite to win the championship before the season to the first place, and the odds of winning the championship plummeted!

Judging from the current situation in the Premier League, if Millwall fails to win the trophy at the end of the season, then this may be the most incredible reversal in the history of the Premier League.

At the end of the first 10 rounds, Millwall led Manchester United by 9 points and Arsenal by 11 points.

After 12 rounds, Millwall led Manchester United by 12 points. Manchester United lost again. The defeat at White Hart Lane made Ferguson's team drift away from the league championship again. Arsenal won both games, especially at Stanford Bridge scored three points to win the crucial battle. They climbed to third place in the standings, but they are still 11 points away from Millwall.

Fleet Street is starting to ignite a new battle as the weekend approaches.

The weekend of the top game is coming!

In the league weekend, Millwall is going to fight for the top of the table, and the opponent is the league runner-up. A team that should not be surprising now occupies the second place in the standings.

Yorkshire White Roses: Leeds United!

The young guards led by O'Reilly played very well in the new season. They once won 6 consecutive victories. After 12 rounds of the league, they achieved 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. Wall has 10 points, and the gap with the top team is relatively large. This is clear at a glance, but they stepped on Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea to occupy the second place in the league. This is much better than what they expected before the season. It's for the fourth place. Now, it may be the fourth place for the championship!

In addition to the gimmick of the top battle in this game, there are too many things to watch.

O'Reilly and Aldridge are both young representatives of English football, and the duel between the two young coaches is enough to attract attention.

Millwall had one draw and one loss against Leeds United last season. O'Reilly had the upper hand. The outside world regarded this game as Aldridge's revenge!

In the summer, the two reached a transfer deal of 60 million pounds for as many as 10 players. There was no hatred, but it was also a big show of old generals turning against each other.

Moreover, it is not a player. In Leeds United, many former Millwall players played together to fight against their old club.

The fierce confrontation of the youth army is on the verge of breaking out! (to be continued...) ()
