The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves Shimadzu and La Ibrari for their rewards!

On the eve of the European Champions Cup final, Yiwen brought Rosie to Paris, went shopping on Boulevard Haussmann, crazily displayed the nature of women, and even went for beauty treatment in the evening.

Women, there are a lot of clothes, but they always feel that they have nothing to wear. They have a good figure, but they still feel that they are not perfect. Whether their faces are ugly or beautiful, they are not beautiful enough in their own eyes.

The whole team flew to Paris on the second day after Millwall won the FA Cup. There are three days before the final, one day of rest, one day of preparation, and the last day, the decisive battle!

When he was about to step into the UEFA Champions League final for the second time, Aldridge was much more relaxed. The team has played many finals over the years, and won the championship softly. Regardless of the age of the players, at least the mentality can calmly cope with the tension on the eve of the war Against the pressure, the team has been preparing for the game steadily since arriving in Paris, and there has been no trouble.

The media from all over Europe flocked to him. At the press conference before the UEFA Champions League final, Aldridge talked freely and without any pressure.

Of course, we are here for the championship trophy. No one will be satisfied with the runner-up in the final. The triple crown? We have achieved the triple crown before. If we can replicate it this year, it will indeed be greater than the last time. , my players are ready for this moment.

When he was asked about the impact of Klose and Makelele's inability to play on the team, Aldridge also said frankly: The lack of Makelele has a great impact on the team. I will not deny this, but I think Gattuso ushered in his moment, bear the pressure and play his due level, then he can make an unparalleled contribution to the team, I trust him. His teammates also Trust him. Klose was injured a few days ago and couldn't be on the bench. It was a big loss for us and he was very upset. I comforted him and told him that he is still young and there must be opportunities in the future because we are one As for this game, on the substitute list, we have three players who can play forwards, Glenciel, Lamour and Villa, and I think we can cope with all the difficulties that arise in the game.”

When talking about the opponent Valencia. Aldridge was in good spirits and said with a smile: In the final, I don't think it matters who is the favorite. After 90 minutes or 120 minutes, the winner is the strong one. The loser is the weak one. Valencia does not rely on luck. They made it to the final, and they looked much easier than us in the final. We fought Real Madrid for 180 minutes in two rounds. They ended the suspense with a score of 4:1 at home in the first leg, and their opponents It's Barcelona, ​​a better team in the league than Real Madrid. Valencia has a lot of good players. Mendieta, Gerard, Lopez, etc., and a good manager, Millwall If careless in the final, Valencia eventually won the trophy.

I don't think anyone will be surprised, of course, the premise is that we play badly ourselves. In this season, I have always believed in one point. If Millwall plays to its full potential, we can win every game, so our enemy is ourselves.

May 24

Paris, Stade de France

Before the official start of the UEFA Champions League final this season, a series of cultural performances will be held in the stadium for fans to enjoy.

When the performance ended, the whole stadium quickly entered the atmosphere of a football match.

Today's atmosphere in the stadium is unprecedentedly warm, and it is particularly shocking when viewed from the air. It will definitely become a classic scene in the Champions League final.

The pitch turf is divided into two, with the Wild Lions logo on the left and the Bats logo on the right.

In the stands, the fans of both sides unanimously made a visually shocking cheering effect.

On one side of the stand, Millwall fans created a blue lion pattern through the color of the jersey, as if a wild lion appeared in the stands.

On the other side, Valencia fans also created a huge bat pattern, which symbolizes the patron saint of Valencia.

Not to be outdone, the two parties used their own methods to create pressure on their opponents.

Aldridge was waiting for the players to tidy up in the dressing room. He said lightly to everyone: This is the second time Millwall has reached the Champions League final in three years. It is the glory of the club and your glory. Half of your players participated After the final two years ago, some people entered the Champions League final for the first time. I will not talk about making you fight for the fans and for the honor of the club. Now, think about yourselves, win, it is two The great honor of the Champions League trophy may be the first one, but it makes you feel even more hungry. Think of your family, you will be proud of you, think of your children, you will be proud of your father in the future, this is yours Motivation, this is the determination you should have to defeat your opponents, let your name shine in European football, make your career more brilliant, let today, leave no regrets!

After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and left. Next, the three captains who will start the game will motivate the teammates in the locker room. They have experience and are qualified because they won the championship two years ago, and they can help the first team. Some players who played in the Champions League final for the first time, such as Henry, Gattuso, Ronaldinho and others.

Today, Aldridge, who is still in a suit and leather shoes, walks slowly in the player tunnel. Except for the staff, the players from both sides have not come out here. He will not make long speeches before the game, so he often appears on the court early. Today, not excluded.

He didn't want the final to change the familiar pre-game pattern of a well-organized team, which would only add unnecessary pressure to the team.

The hustle and bustle in the arena was deafening, and Aldridge walked steadily. Looking at the brighter light outside the player tunnel, he looked calm, neither cold, ostentatious, nor worried.

In the locker room, he just told the truth, in a sense, it was what he thought in his heart.

Football clubs have broken away from the past nature of community public welfare organizations assuming public obligations, for the fans? For the club? In many cases, people in different football circles are just a slogan.

People are selfish, especially on the premise of profit-driven.

In the era when there was basically no difference in income between playing football and being a miner, playing football was of course an honor, and it was easy to resonate with the team for the fans.

But in the present age, who can avoid the temptation of fame and fortune?

Whether it is for money or for personal fame, is this wrong? That's right, and the premise is to play the ball well. Fame income is directly linked to court performance.

Even at this moment today, Aldridge can't work with the drive to repay the support of the fans and work for the club's honor in his mind.

At the age of 24, he set foot on the Champions League final for the second time. He is making history, a history that belongs to him, a legend that people can talk about for a long time even if Millwall is left behind.

At this time, he needs to be selfish and let the team be selfish.

To win for oneself, to win for selfish desires!

People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, can it generate greater motivation for others?

There are such people, but Aldrich always believes that such people are a minority.

Walking out of the player channel, Aldridge came to the court. Standing still on the sidelines, looking up at the stadium where he set foot for the first time.

When he appeared on the sidelines, hundreds of sideline photographers surrounded him and began a long shooting.

Those professional cameras were more like guns aimed at Aldridge.

Instantly. With Aldrich as the center, flashing lights nearby.

Rosie, who was sitting with Ivan in the stands, leaned over and looked down at the sidelines, seeing Aldridge being sieged by cameras, her eyes widened in disbelief.

She couldn't understand that a man could be so sought after by others.

Perhaps in her eyes, the reason should be that Aldrich is handsome.

The 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League final is about to begin. The two teams that advanced to the final this year are Millwall from England and Valencia from Spain. The two teams defeated the two giants of Spain in the semi-finals Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, ​​and now, Valencia, who reached the Champions League final for the first time in history, and Millwall, who reached the Champions League final for the second time in history, will compete for the championship trophy! This was described as offensive and defensive before the game In the pinnacle of the confrontation, Valencia built by Cooper performed the defensive counterattack to the extreme, while Millwall, under the guidance of Hall, is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in Europe this season. The English media declared before the game , Today will be a big day for Hall’s second-generation Wild Lion to win Europe! Yes, compared to Millwall’s starting lineup for the final two years ago, today’s Millwall has half of the personnel changes, Shevchenko Trezeguet, Herguera, Capdevila, Makelele, these people can't play for Millwall today, Makelele is because of the suspension, and Ronaldinho Whether the second generation of Wild Lions represented by Henry can stand on the top of Europe, this match is a milestone!

Valencia coach Cooper walked into the stadium when the game was about to start. Aldridge turned his head and found that the opponent was walking towards him, so he went up to meet him. The two coaches separated after a few words of greeting. Maybe the game We didn't have a chance to meet after that.

Accompanied by the theme song of the Champions League, the players of the two teams began to enter the field in high spirits.

Now I would like to introduce the starting lineups of both sides. First of all, Millwall, apart from Makelele's red card suspension, their lineup is relatively neat today.

Millwall 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfield: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Henry, Ronaldinho.

Valencia also has a main player who missed the final due to suspension. The absence of defender Carboni may have a great impact on the defense.

Valencia starts 442.

Goalkeeper: Canizares.

Defenders: Angeloma, Djukic, Pellegrino, Gerardo.

Midfield: Mendieta, Farinos, Gerard, Kyle Gonzalez.

Forwards: Angulo, Claudio Lopez.

From the comparison of the lineups of the two teams alone, Valencia's disadvantage is not too obvious, especially their midfield combination, which is known as one of the best combinations in Europe, and Millwall's midfield combination with a reasonable and clear division of labor is both offensive and defensive. , This is also well known, and the key trend of today's game, Valencia depends on the midfielder, while Millwall has many points to rely on, which is why Millwall is recognized as the favorite to win the championship.

The Champions League theme song ended, and Millwall and Valencia opened up on the field to prepare for the kick-off.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines with arms crossed and a serious expression on his face. In the opening 10-20 minutes, he had to observe the situation on the field carefully. This will be the key to the overall trend of the game and also a test of his targeted deployment before the game. Whether the tactical arrangement is effective.
