The Young Lion

2:2

Milan is back to life, and the atmosphere at San Siro is soaring!

There are still 20 minutes in stoppage time. Can Milan score another goal? Can it? The Serie A champions refuse to bow to the early exit! The Rossoneri must show the fighting spirit of the Italian giants at this time. If they want to go well in the Champions League Going further, now we must show the courage and determination to stay on this stage!

The corner of Aldridge's mouth raised slightly, and the score was equalized, so what?

Even if Millwall loses this game, they can still sit back and relax.

But he never handed victory away.

The real killer feature, it's time to come out!

Before the game restarted, Millwall submitted a list of substitutions, and the referee also signaled for substitutions on the sidelines.

Millwall used up three substitutions at one time. Pirlo, Larson, and Ronaldinho walked off the field slowly. What is Hall going to do? He will be three very threatening players on the field. They have all been replaced. Is this going to stick to it? Lampard replaced Pirlo, Gronkshall replaced Ronaldinho, and Klose replaced Larsson. It seems to be a counter-substitution. Ze's position needs to be observed, I heard that this German teenager used to play as a winger in the amateur league, will he play as a winger like Larsson?.

Klose ran to the middle circle to prepare for the kick-off after playing, talked to Henry for a few words, and told Henry to adjust his position.

Except for the goal in the second half, Henry rarely participated in the defense at other times. Henry, who had been wandering around the striker position, was waiting for this moment. His physical fitness was completely fine, and he moved to the winger position. Klose plays center forward. The winger on the other side was handed over to Glenshire.

Milan fans may also think that Millwall is showing weakness. It's going to be a draw.

But Zaccheroni looked sad and looked at the field solemnly.

Does Millwall really want to defend?

If you really want to defend, why didn't Pedretti come on the bench?

At first glance, Glenshire is not as capable as Ronaldinho, Klose is not as good as Larsson, and Lampard's offensive talent is far inferior to Pirlo.

But that was the usual comparison. The game lasted 70 minutes, Ronaldinho and Larson went straight up and down the wing in the second half. The two alone restrained the expansion and contraction of Milan's overall formation. They were tired from running, and now they rested, and the energetic and faster Glenciel played.

At least at this moment, is Glenshire really less threatening than Ronaldinho who is exhausted and stays on the court?

After the substitution, Millwall reorganized the 433 formation, but this 433 is completely different from the 433 at the beginning.

Gattuso and Lampard are double midfielders, Nedved is a central midfielder, and Glenciel and Henry are left and right wingers. Klose single arrow.

This time, the problem was thrown to Milan.

Millwall almost vacated the midfield. The back line did not go out of the penalty area, and the front double defensive midfielder Gary Nedved retreated to defend in the penalty area. The two walls completely isolated Milan's offense.

Zaccheroni's eyes are tearing apart, Millwall has 7 players in defense, Milan is attacking, 5 players go up with pebbles and stones, 6 players are trying their luck, and only 7 players can be in a balanced position in the situation.

It is no longer possible to use the comparison of players' personal ability values ​​to measure the advantages and disadvantages.

After Aldridge played this hand, Zaccheroni had no choice but to complain from the bottom of his heart.

He really never scolded Aldridge in his heart.

This is a common situation in Serie A. In this country where defense is hailed as an art, chain defense has been criticized for many years. It is called negative football. A strong team beats a weak team. , Layers of defensive barriers with 8 or even 9 people.

It's just that Millwall is not a weak team, but they also used such tricks. Zaccheroni couldn't bear the slightest hatred. If Zaccheroni was replaced by Aldridge, it is estimated that most of them would use similar tricks.

The enemy of Milan is not only breaking the dense defense, but also an enemy that can never be defeated: time!

As time passed, Milan's attacking speed became faster and faster, and at the same time, it became more and more impatient.

After they pressed and attacked for 6 minutes, bad luck came.

Albertini couldn't find a way to get the ball out, so he took a long shot himself, and the ball hit Barzagli's chest and blocked it.

Lampard half-turned on the bounced ball and swept it towards Millwall's right.

Glenshall quickly started to move forward after getting the ball behind the center line, Milan was still the same, and all players retreated.

However, they couldn't run anymore, and the Danes, who were alive and kicking like wings flying on their backs, ran with the ball for long distances too fast!

Maldini didn't come up to intercept, but quickly shrunk the penalty area. He knew that if he went up to grab, he would definitely be passed by Glenshire to break the defensive line before he got close.

Glenshire cut in front of the penalty area, Klose retreated to catch the ball and then turned to kill the Sergeant, Henry ran in and cut the ball forward, still breaking through the defense of Sala and Costacurta, Marl When Tini went to chase again, Henry took a shot!

Almost a single-handed shot, Henry was sure, and rubbed the ball to the far corner, but Abbiati was powerless.

In the 80th minute of the game, Millwall took the lead again, 3:2. This is a score that almost declared Milan out of the Champions League group stage. If 4 games and 1 point, Milan may lose not only the qualification to advance to the top 16, but also Have the glory of the Serie A championship”

Henry, who scored twice, kept waving to Klose, who gave him an assist. They jogged together to the visiting team's fans stand to greet the fans.

Aldrich closed his eyes and raised his head, showing a slightly unscrupulous smile.

The current situation of the Italian giants is really not caused by Millwall, but a large reason is their own problems.

If they can score 6 points, 4 points, or even 3 points in the first two games of the group stage, why did they become a sad soldier when they met Millwall in the third round?

And now in this game, Milan has to race against time and defeat Millwall. How could Aldridge slip through his fingers with such a good opportunity?

70 minutes to make adjustments tactics. Fans who like the Premier League must be no strangers. 5 years later. When the special one of Under God came to Stamford Bridge, 433 swept the Premier League. What did they rely on? Duff, Robben, Drogba, Lampard, the big diamond in the attacking group, and 90% of the others are devoted to defense. Compress the space in the backcourt, and the counterattack is booming!

The fireworks in the stands at San Siro were completely extinguished by Millwall's third goal.

Aldrich opened his eyes and looked around the stadium. Looking at the stands that were no longer noisy and instantly quiet, he couldn't help showing a smile.

Can't blame him for being a villain, but he just likes it.

To silence a great stadium, as a manager, he enjoys the spectacle for a second.

In the last ten minutes of the game, the scene became extremely tragic, and Milan attacked like crazy.

But. In the 88th minute, it was replaced by Henry who dribbled the ball from the left side of the midfield to start a long-distance attack. The routine is the same, after attracting the defense in front of the penalty area, the ball is immediately distributed, Klose responds, and then he passes the ball to an unexpected person.

This time, Maldini kept an eye on Glenciel, who was running forward. Sala also followed Henry after the ball. If Klose dribbled the ball and tried to break through Costacurta, he would definitely lose the ball. Off the field, but Klose passed the ball and passed the ball to a position two meters away from him.

Nedved, who had been holding back for almost half an hour, was still at the same speed as at the beginning of the game. He jumped in at a high speed, and Milan's retreating midfielder couldn't keep up with him at all. Dwyerde shook the opponent away with a strong flick.

When receiving Klose's pass, Nedved still didn't slow down, waded directly into the penalty area to meet the ball, broke through the opponent's entire back line in an instant, faced the goalkeeper single-handedly, and gave up the goal in Abbiati. When he just ran two steps forward, Nedved pushed the dead corner and watched the ball roll into the goal.

After the goal, Nedved turned around and walked around to hug Klose, and raised his other hand to make a fist!

4:2, Milan has no chance, Nedved's goal completely killed the suspense of the game, Millwall will usher in the fourth consecutive victory in the group stage, and they will also qualify for an early qualifying. It's a pity , the chances of qualifying for the Serie A championship are very slim, leaving only theoretical possibilities.

The Milan players showed a slightly numb expression. After the re-kick-off organized another wave of offensives and failed to make it, there were signs of giving up. Millwall used the backcourt to waste time. After 3 minutes of stoppage time , The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Congratulations to Millwall, with 12 points from four victories, 6 points from Hertha Berlin in the same group, 4 points from Galatasaray, and 1 point from Milan, Millwall qualified ahead of time, according to their 4:1 at home Judging from the record of the big victory over Hertha Berlin, they are almost locked in the first place in this group. If Milan wants to advance to the top 16, not only will they have to win the remaining two rounds, but they must also hope that Millwall will win the last two rounds. Wheel wins! Destiny is no longer in their own hands.

After the game, the Milan players were either in a daze or dejected on the court. Some Millwall players exchanged jerseys with them, and some comforted each other. For example, Larson walked up to Shevchenko

When Aldridge was about to go for an interview, there was a discordant scene on the sidelines.

Pirlo was chased by Gattuso and ran into the player channel.

After Pirlo was substituted, he heard the coaches talking about Gattuso's header error and was assisted by Bierhoff to Shevchenko. Ridiculously, the hot-tempered Gattuso wanted to beat up Pirlo regardless of the occasion, so such a scene was staged.

If the media had captured this situation in other places, they would definitely think that the two players were having internal strife, but it is not surprising that the Italian media saw it.

The two started in the Italian youth team, the u21 echelon, etc., and their relationship has always been very good, and they often fight.

The other players might be playing for real, but for the two of them, it was just playing.

In today's game, Aldridge didn't have too many thoughts. If he wins, he wins. There is no need to worry about losing. The result now is just very good. The young defense players who have been trained have allowed them to see the big scene , Although there are mistakes and deficiencies, it doesn't matter. He, the head coach, has always been doing the work of planting trees and then enjoying the shade by himself.

However, he never imagined that the Italian media, which had always been very harsh on him, had changed their attitude after two rounds of double kills against Milan. They not only recognized Aldridge, but also took the initiative to praise and praise him at the post-match press conference. congratulate.

In the first match at Wembley, Milan lost completely, and the Italian media can find excuses, such as the right time, place, and team strength.

But today at San Siro, they couldn't excuse Milan. In terms of overall strength, Millwall's offense was stronger, but its defense was definitely weak. This Millwall's victory can be described as a technical defeat of Milan.

Reminiscent of the past three years, Millwall won one game and one draw against Juventus, double-killed Inter Milan, double-killed Milan, and the three giants in northern Italy were defeated by the same team and the same head coach. The Italian media has reached the point where they have nothing to say. What else can they do besides applaud and praise the strong? (to be continued...) ()
