The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves and Qingyan Consulting for their rewards! ——

With two goals in hand, and it was an away goal, Aldridge began to change his formation with 30 minutes left in the game, letting Nedved's position fall back, and it became a 442 midfielder with a small diamond formation.

At this time, Millwall needs to control the rhythm steadily. It is best to strengthen the midfield. He already has a certain advantage in the midfield. If Nedved returns, he can firmly control the situation in his own hands.

Bayern Munich started to launch a mad attack. The two sides played vigorously, but they lacked a support point in the middle, and they lacked a fatal blow point in the penalty area. Elber alone could not support him alone, and even grabbed a header. None of the highs.

When Heathfield was about to go all out, Aldridge lost his temper on the sidelines.

He growled angrily at a player on the field, but maybe the distance was too far, and the other party couldn't hear what he was shouting.

This player is Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho, who is getting more and more vigorous, will attack the frontcourt non-stop as long as he touches the ball, without any hesitation.

His forward dribbling with the ball involuntarily drove Henry, Larson, and Nedved to step forward, otherwise he would fall into isolation.

And this runs counter to Aldrich's tactical requirements.

Blindly playing fast is not the best choice. Millwall now needs to consume Bayern Munich through control. As time goes by, Bayern Munich must be getting more and more impatient. Millwall can use the midfield advantage to force all the opponent's attacking players to participate in the defense. And the defensive players in the backcourt may also come up rashly to press. There will be better opportunities then.

But Ronaldinho changed from defense to offense and rushed forward when he got the ball. Once the offense failed, he would give the opponent room to counterattack.

Even though Ronaldinho has a wonderful performance that exceeds expectations, he is not yet mature enough. At this time, the shortcomings of the decline in tactical discipline in a state of excitement are exposed.

Heathfield's substitution was imminent, but Aldridge was also making substitutions at the same time.

Millwall and Bayern Munich changed at the same time! Bayern Munich seems to be fighting, Ziegler replaced Anderson. This tall man who is close to 1.9 meters will directly threaten Millwall's goal, Sergio Substituting for Jeremiah, Hitzfield hopes 30-year-old Sergio can help through experience in the middle. Millwall's side unexpectedly replaced the eye-catching Ronaldinho, and Lampard took over He enters.

Ronaldinho found that he was a little unhappy when he was replaced. When he walked to the sidelines, he asked Aldridge in a puzzled way: Boss, why did you replace me?

Now is not the time to talk about this. After the game, I will have an important conversation with you.

Aldrich responded to him very quickly, then patted him on the shoulder and told him to sit back.

Ronaldinho was in high spirits. It is natural to be depressed when suddenly replaced.

After Bayern Munich and Millwall made substitutions at the same time, Millwall's offense on the scene weakened. But the control of the midfield was strengthened, Pirlo went up to play the midfielder, Nedved and Lampard formed a double central midfielder, Bayern Munich still mainly attacked from the side, and began to frequently pass high balls.

The game showed a completely different situation. Bayern Munich played fast when attacking, and Millwall successfully controlled the rhythm of the game when they defended successfully.

In the 79th minute of the game, Henry and Larsson had a two-for-one cooperation on the front line, and then Henry suddenly chose to make a strong attack in front of Kufuor. After entering the penalty area, he shot a shot that was blocked by Kahn, and Pirlo followed up. The long-range shot bounced off the crossbar.

Millwall almost expanded the score again. Although Bayern Munich's offensive is more fierce, they are a bit of a gambler, but Millwall's offense is threatening at a glance. It is a pity that if Henry's shooting angle is more tricky Some, or Pirlo can press the ball, they will drive Bayern Munich into the bottomless abyss.

The game entered the last ten minutes of regular time, and the scene became more and more intense, with both sides fighting for every inch of ground.

In the 86th minute, Lizarazu broke through the bottom with the ball, faked a cross in front of Schneider and pulled the ball back to his position. He passed the ball low and passed it to Elber. Elber turned around and was about to shoot, but his performance was substandard and his kick was flawed!

But his faulty ball hit Materazzi's leg and bounced to the middle of the goal. Ziegler with long legs fell to the ground and kicked the ball into the goal.

I'm afraid Hitzfeld didn't even expect this goal. At least Ziegler was replaced to increase the high point in the penalty area.

Bayern Munich got one back! Come back to life! Ziegler, who was replaced on the field, made a contribution. Although this goal has an element of luck, the goal cannot be ignored. 1:2, can Bayern Munich score another one at the last moment? .

Effenberg boosted the morale of the team and strived to make another victory in the final stage.

Aldridge put his hands on his hips without any nervousness, and stepped back ten thousand steps. Even if the score was equalized, Millwall would definitely accept it.

At this time, the test is the willpower of the team.

After the game restarted, Bayern Munich pressed all the lines, and time was running out.

As soon as they pressed up, Millwall's offensive players in the frontcourt also began to move, and there was a huge vacuum in the midfield.

Lampard passed the ball to Nedved, who dribbled the ball directly past Sergio, and then walked all the way forward in the middle. Effenberg just grabbed Lampard too high. The chasing distance is obviously too far.

All the way to the penalty area, Nedved was not hindered. In the dense area of ​​the center, Millwall suddenly formed a local numerical advantage.

After Nedved passed the ball to Pirlo, he started to advance, Henry also advanced, and Larsson pulled out to support.

Pirlo handed the ball to Larsson without hesitation, and the latter passed the ball diagonally to the other side, and the ball passed diagonally between Kufuor and Link.

Both thought that Nedved and Henry would be offside, but Babel, who was shrinking towards the center on the other side, wrapped his tail and the center was pierced.

Nedved made a decisive cross after taking the ball on the left side of the goal. When Kahn moved to the other side. I can only watch Henry easily shoot the ball into the goal.

One goal for each team in one minute! Henry scored twice. He helped the team continue to lead Bayern Munich by two goals. Millwall easily pierced through the back line. Kufuor and Link probably thought there would be a central defender intercepting in the middle, but neither of them could keep an eye on the player they should be eyeing. From this point of view, 1:3 for Millwall's advantage is better than 0:2! Because if Bayern Munich can't score again in this game, they will go to London in the next round. If they want to advance, they must score at least three goals!

Just regained a chance and saw a glimmer of life, but was hit again in less than a minute, and the Munich Olympic Stadium fell into silence.

Aldridge made a gesture of pressing his hands down to the players on the sidelines to let them stabilize their emotions and not be careless because they scored the third goal.

Many strong teams have talent but no tough willpower. In this case, they are often defeated. On the contrary, Bayern Munich's willpower cannot be ignored, as long as the game is not over. Millwall cannot afford to relax.

After the restart, Bayern Munich learned a lesson. They didn't dare to press too high. After Millwall got the ball, he began to kill time. In addition, Aldridge used his substitutions one after another to strengthen the defense. The final score of the game did not change again.

1:3, the end of the game, this score must be beyond everyone's expectations, last season was here, Bayern Munich beat Millwall 1:0 in 90 minutes, and knocked out the opponent in a penalty shootout after 120 minutes. Years later, the same two teams met again on the same ground, with Millwall beating Bayern Munich 3-1 in 90 minutes, with Millwall gaining a huge lead en route to the semi-finals, Bayern Munich Munich will go to London in the next game, and if the opponent does not score, at least three goals will be able to come back, which is probably an impossible task.”

After the game, Hitzfeld took the initiative to shake hands with Aldrich.

He had to admit that when he played against Aldridge again a year later, the opponent made Millwall stronger. The process of three goals reflected Millwall's improvement. This is the credit of the coach. At the same time, Millwall Paul's tactical discipline and tactical execution on the court have also reached a level of qualitative change.

Aldridge quickly left the field. On the field, Henry raised his fists high and looked happy. He was sure that he would enter the semi-finals of the Champions League with the team for the third time in three years. He was even more confident about reaching the final. No matter who the semi-final opponent is.

The whole Millwall team thanked the fans who came to the away game to cheer for them, while many Bayern Munich players left the field early in dejection.

At the post-match press conference, Aldridge categorically denied that Millwall had advanced to the semi-finals. He said that the game lasted 180 minutes, and the result could only be determined when the last second was over. No matter how slim the probability is on the football field, It's all possible.

Asked the secret to beating Bayern Munich, Aldridge gave the credit to the players.

They train hard all the time, prepare for the game, self-adjust before the game, and play on the spot. They have confirmed an eternal truth with the facts and results: only by sweating can there be a chance to reap. This is also what Millwall said. Football philosophy, we never think that victory will come easily, only if we work harder and pay more than others, can we win the victory.”

As for the German reporter's opinion that Bayern Munich lacks attention to Millwall, Hitzfeld still wants to use last year's method to deal with Millwall is outdated, but was tied hands and feet, Aldridge is unwilling to comment.

It's hard to say that the responsibility rests entirely on Heathfield. This is to belittle Millwall's victory, especially last year when Heathfield was the winner. The winner will not take the initiative to change. This is an unspoken law in football circles.

Has anyone seen the master of champions make drastic reforms?

Has anyone ever seen a famous coach make a big change to the team's tactics on the road to continuous victory?

A victorious team, a team accustomed to winning, often only makes up its mind to reform and enter the reincarnation of breaking out of the cocoon only when it suffers a tragic loss at a certain point in time.

Bayern Munich's momentum was like a rainbow before this, and today's unexpected defeat at home may be an opportunity for change, but maybe not, because they only lost to Millwall, not derailed from many top European teams.

After the game, the team quickly packed up their bags and got on the plane back to London. Most of the players began to adjust themselves after getting on the plane to calm down the excitement. Some players were reading books, some played poker together, some is listening to music.

Ronaldinho was listening to music when Aldrich sat down beside him with a serious and scary expression. (to be continued...) ()
