The Young Lion

Nedved has more impact and confrontation advantages than Ronaldinho.

But Ronaldinho is more creative and free than Nedved.

Leeds United's defensive midfielder is a short board. As long as Ronaldinho is not lazily waiting for the ball, he and Pirlo will not only greatly improve Millwall's control of the midfield and frontcourt, but also make the offensive impossible to defend.

In the 26th minute of the game, Ronaldinho, Larson, and Pirlo completed a shocking performance!

Larsson took the ball wide and made a high pass from the right wing.

Perhaps, he made a mistake in passing the ball, because the point of the cross was obviously not on the line where Henry and Nedved were running, but in front of the penalty area, where only Ronaldinho was there.

Ferdinand rushed out to prevent Ronaldinho from receiving the ball to complete the shot or the next through pass.

However, when Ronaldinho saw Ferdinand rushing out, he rushed towards him abnormally!

What is Ronaldinho doing? Can't he head the ball?

When Ronaldinho rushed to Ferdinand, he obviously ran past the ball's landing point, one step, one step!

Just when his head was already half a meter ahead of the ball, he braked suddenly and showed a strange smile to Ferdinand.

Wow!

The audience exclaimed!

Ronaldinho turned slightly sideways and used his back to do it behind the ball!

He didn't use his head, but his back. Not only did the ball fall and bounce on his back, it turned into a return pass, and the angle was right. On the trajectory where the ball bounced back slowly after unloading, Pirlo slapped the horse and killed him. I realized that there is no need to adjust at all, the speed and rotation of the ball are just right, it is better not to be static. Because it is rolling towards him. It is easier to exert force.

boom!

Pirlo slammed the door vigorously and pierced the Leeds United gate outside the penalty area. All the players in the backcourt of Leeds United were dumbfounded.

What a goal! What a goal! Andrea Pirlo assisted Ronaldinho with a long-range shot. How can we describe Ronaldinho's assist? He finished it with his back , use the back! Just like our evaluation of Millwall, they are a combination of the European core and the samba coat! They have strong tactical discipline and teamwork, and there is no shortage of individual play full of free imagination! Come on, everyone, cheers for the goal,

Intoxicated by the process of scoring goals!

After Pirlo scored a goal, he ran to Ronaldinho. Turning his body so that the other person turned his back to him, he touched the back of his head, as if to make sure if there were eyes there too!

Aldridge was also crazy about this goal, he was smiling with his mouth wide open, but his expression was full of disbelief.

There is no doubt that Robin Nedved is creative, but it is beyond imagination to be able to assist Pirlo with his back.

If Nedved was replaced, he would definitely not be able to make such an action, even if he would pass the ball back to Pirlo. The limit is the heel kick.

And the manifestation of Ronaldinho's creativity in this position is unpredictability, just for a moment. His actions created Leeds United's defensive chaos, and the Leeds United players who surrounded him were shocked by Ronaldinho's movement of using their backs to make the ball.

If you wait for the ball to land before making an action, the timing will leave more room for Leeds United's defense.

Millwall played this game relatively easily. Pirlo provided overall stability in the midfield to ensure that the team would not fall into a passive rhythm change due to the improvement of Leeds United's fighting strength. He maintained the team's stability on the field .

Ronaldinho, on the other hand, provides rhythm changes in the offense, using his breakthroughs and imaginative passes to suddenly change the local situation.

Even though Leeds United has recruited heavily this season, its hard power has been greatly improved, but with the addition of too many new players, the team's stability has problems, and in terms of the rationality of the team lineup, it lacks a strong midfielder , It is easy to be suppressed by strong teams on key points of defense. The combination of these reasons has caused Leeds United to become the team with the most losses and the fewest draws among the top six teams.

In other words, they either crushed their opponents in one go, or were restrained by their opponents and suffered defeat, and it was difficult to keep a draw.

Even though O'Reilly has trained this team well, they can't break through their own shortcomings. Even if they lose more games, they still leave Chelsea and Liverpool behind.

But in the face of a strong team like Millwall who is good at catching the opponent's weaknesses, Leeds United's overall passivity cannot be made up for by will and fighting spirit.

Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho was heavily marked, so he didn't stick to the ball too much. After Ronaldinho attracted the defensive center of gravity, Pirlo was in position three meters away from Ronaldinho. With the ball, Nedved successfully countered offside and sent the ball into the goal at 45 degrees single-handedly, expanding the lead.

In the second half, Henry, who squandered several golden opportunities in the previous league game, received a wonderful pass from Ronaldinho and scored, making Aldridge convinced that he can continue to trust him.

In fact, Aldridge doesn’t have many choices. If Henry’s state really declines uncontrollably and he plays poorly when seizing opportunities, it will be disastrous for Millwall. He will make changes to the lineup. Unable to replace Henry's role, the center forward had to let Larson play. This change would have the effect of affecting the whole body. In the war-torn April and May, this was definitely a heavy blow.

Fortunately, Henry's performance today has taken on a new look, and he once again proved himself with goals and the efficiency of handling the ball in offense.

O'Reilly sat numb on the coach's bench.

He should have realized at this time, and Lizdale, the chairman of Leeds United, should also clearly understand: Rome cannot be built in a day.

The white roses of Yorkshire want to bloom in full bloom, just like a wild lion on Europa. Not only is the road still long, but success is not guaranteed with hard work. The road will be accompanied by difficulties, obstacles and countless challenges.

The good news for Leeds United is that if they can adjust their mentality, they can minimize the mental blow caused by Millwall's inevitable double kill.

Looking at the good side, at least before the season, their goal is neither to compete for the championship nor to defeat a certain opponent, but the winning streak at the beginning of the season gave the club and fans unrealistic expectations.

The original goal was just to enter the Champions League, get a share of huge profits, and let the club move towards success step by step. Now. They haven't fallen behind yet. Losing to Millwall is not the end of the world. As long as the last six rounds are played well, the top four places still have the initiative.

After leading by three goals, Aldridge made substitution adjustments to save strength for the upcoming Champions Cup.

In the end, the score was fixed at 3:0. Millwall double-killed Leeds United this season, avenging the two games last season with a draw and a loss.

In the stands of the Lion's Den Stadium, fans cheered for the team's victory. At the same time, many fans put up slogans to cheer for the team's upcoming trip to Munich.

After the game, Aldridge and O'Reilly shook hands hurriedly before parting. In an interview after the game, Aldridge responded to questions in a formulaic tone. Manchester United also won this round.

No one believes that Manchester United can complete the reversal when they are 12 points behind with 6 rounds left. They are just delaying Millwall's successful defending time.

Before going to Munich, Aldridge attended UEFA's official press conference.

Fleet Street and the German media are the protagonists, and they are looking forward to the rematch between Aldridge and Heathfield.

But Aldrich was very shameless, and he would answer any question that smelled of gunpowder evasively. Or change the topic and answer the question.

Before the team set off, Arthur ran to Aldridge's apartment. Shouting to cheer Aldridge, I wish Millwall a successful revenge.

Why do you want to do this?

The suitcases for the expedition had already been placed in the living room, and Aldrich stood in the living room and looked at Arthur in puzzlement.

Arthur's expression was stunned. He had been clamoring to kill Bayern Munich just now, and wanted to avenge Millwall's defeat last year.

Son, did I do something wrong?

Aldridge lowered his head and sighed, The media is like this, the fans are like this, and even you are like this. It seems that Millwall and Bayern Munich have a sworn feud! This is wrong, absolutely wrong.

Arthur rolled his eyes and said softly: Sometimes, football is war, and the losing side will definitely want revenge.

Aldridge sneered and shook his head, and said, Revenge? Actually, there is no hatred. There is only Millwall covering up his inner cowardice. You are like a fan, shouting and killing, revenge, haha, it is better to say it is I can't afford to lose! Is it because last year's game was the only European defeat we have lost in several years, so the blow was particularly heavy?

Arthur's mouth moved, as if unable to refute Aldrich.

After a long while, like a deflated ball, he asked back: Son, what do you think? We lost last year and nothing happened?

Aldrich raised his eyebrows and said: Of course it is impossible, but what kind of mentality we use to face failure is the most important thing. A wrong mentality will not do us any good. If we lose a game, we will be jealous of an opponent. Then it will only make us lose more and more! The strong are used to winning. At the same time, the strong are not afraid of failure. If they fall, they can get up and make themselves stronger, instead of hating their opponents and clamoring for revenge. On the contrary, there is no A strong opponent is not a strong self! I don’t want to hear any words of revenge. I’m tired of hearing them these days. I hear them too much. It will have an impact and mislead my team. Especially, I don’t Hopefully you, and those around me, are leading Millwall the wrong way too.

After the results of the top 8 draw came out, the voice hanging over the Millwall team was revenge, revenge against Bayern Munich.

Aldrich resented this argument.

Although he admits that it is the best result to meet Bayern Munich again in the knockout round, he is by no means holding the mentality of revenge. For Millwall, this kind of mental stimulation is to let them get up where they fell! It's not that you have to live with Bayern Munich.

When normal competition is misguided and turned into hatred, it will directly affect the mentality of the parties involved. It is absolutely wrong to be blinded by hatred and blinded by reason.

The media just watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. They wished that Millwall and Bayern Munich were a century-old feud, and the fans were just purely venting their emotions.

As for Aldridge, the party concerned, he led the team to Munich this time, not for revenge, but for one goal: to prove that Millwall is stronger than Bayern Munich! Prove it with the results!

Arthur figured out what Aldrich said, and apologized: Son, I'm sorry, you just pretend I didn't say anything, oh no, you still have to remember what I said: come back with victory !

Aldrich knew that Arthur was just crazy, and he was indeed just a fanatic fan, even if he was the chairman of the club.

He walked over and hugged Arthur, and said in his ear: My goal is to lead Millwall to become the well-deserved king team in Europe, so I can't let hatred affect my judgment and actions. Will do my best.

Arthur closed his eyes and smiled, and said in a deep voice, Make me more proud. (To be continued...) ()
