The Young Lion

In this warm-up match in Singapore, Millwall's starting lineup really lacked the sincerity of performing.

Full bench!

It was Kirkland in goal.

Alonso started, Lampard sat on the bench chatting and spanking with Southgate.

Ajax is very serious here, and most of the main players are on.

After all, Ajax came here with a lot of sincerity in training. The No. 1 Eredivisie team, which did not fall to sixth in the league last season, wants to compete with the top European teams, even if it is a friendly match.

The audience at the scene was originally not interested, and the first feeling was that they were cheated!

With expensive tickets in hand, when the sponsors are promoting, Nedved, Ronaldinho, and Henry are fooling around on the posters!

Many fanatical fans sat in the stands behind Aldridge and kept calling his name, wishing that Aldridge would play on the field in person.

Aldridge is very popular, but today he sat comfortably on the coach's bench, chatting with Klinsmann.

Klinsmann took the initiative to chat with Aldrich. The content was to talk about the current situation of German football and the European Cup. England was not the only one that suffered a disastrous defeat. Germany also returned home from the group stage.

Even though Germany broke into the World Cup final two years later and won the runner-up, it is recognized in Europe that the German team in this period was a German team that fell to the bottom. The upsurge of stock market reform, two years later, is at best a flashback. The most amazing thing is that Brazil and Germany, the two teams that met in the finals, almost never met the top teams from the group stage to the finals! If England is also included in the top teams. So. Brazil also won very hard.

That World Cup. The strong teams that should have the strength to go to the end have all been hacked, and the South Korean team has achieved the highest ranking and record of an Asian team in the World Cup.

Aldrich is really convinced by the Germans. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that there is no determination to change after the failure. On the contrary, the rigorous Germans are not concerned about war or football. We can face up to failures and mistakes, and then work hard to make reforms.

So he was relaxed, but he thought seriously when chatting with Klinsmann.

The friendly match on the field was unexpectedly shattered!

Ajax is serious, and the young players like Millwall are not playing to give the opponent experience.

On the contrary, they will work harder than the main players and use their outstanding performance in exchange for more opportunities to play.

Millwall opened up and played. Never conservative, Ajax 433 has long been integrated into the team's DNA. In this way, the offensive is fierce and the pace of the game is fast. The goals are like a plum blossom, one after another.

The audience gradually discovered that the game without big names was so exciting!

Millwall 0:1 Ajax.

1:1

2:1

3:1

3:2

3:3

4:3

4:4

4:5

In the last ten minutes of the game, Aldridge made the final substitution. He had already changed twice in the middle, three or four players at a time. For the last substitution, he replaced Ronaldinho, Nedved, larson.

The long-awaited call came out, and the scene was already boiling. Just watching the goals in this game is very enjoyable.

Six minutes after the trio played, Ronaldinho assisted Larsson to score the equalizing goal. Nedved missed the lore opportunity at the last moment. In the end, Millwall drew with Ajax 5:5.

Although the game lacked some star flavor, at least the scene was exciting, making the audience linger and forget to return.

Millwall set off for Hong Kong immediately after their first friendly.

In Hong Kong, when Millwall came, the scene was even more shocking than in Singapore, it was simply empty!

The reason is that Hong Kong is regarded as the back garden of Asia under the international promotion of the Premier League.

Before 1997, Hong Kong was still under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Nations. Local football scandals broke out one after another, which led to the decline of Hong Kong football. The fans here watch European football. The first choice is the Premier League. Going back earlier, it is the League One, so there are many Liverpool and Manchester United fans here. , and now, Millwall has a large number of Hong Kong fans through five years of outstanding performance in the Premier League and European wars.

At the same time, Pirlo, Henry and other players also arrived in Hong Kong to join the team, pushing this unstoppable passion to its peak.

The crazy enthusiasm of the fans here frightened the players.

There are a large number of fans gathered outside the training ground and the hotel, and it becomes difficult for the players to walk around.

Hey, do you really think you're here for a tour?

Seeing Ronaldinho and Henry whispering and being lazy, Aldridge reminded them to concentrate on training.

After Henry returned to the team, the first thing he did was to apologize to the whole team, because the negative impact of his transfer must have affected the team, and he hoped to regain the trust and support of his teammates.

He had already renewed his contract, and when the dust settled, his teammates laughed it off, apparently not caring anymore.

Ronaldinho turned around and made a grimace at Henry that only the other party could see, pretending to be afraid of Aldrich, Henry returned the other side's eyes.

The two continued to train, and Ronaldinho had a lot of tricks. There were reporters around their training ground, and there were also fans who entered the field to watch.

When the players took a break, Ronaldinho called Henry, Larson, Schneider, and Pirlo together. I don't know what they discussed. Then, he saw these five people playing pass.

Uh, pass the ball sequentially to each other, but the ball can't land.

Not only that, in the process of passing the ball, the distance between them is getting farther and farther, and the difficulty of passing the ball will naturally increase.

In the beginning, everyone was separated by two or three meters, using feet, legs, head, shoulders, like Ronaldinho using his back to ensure that the ball does not land and pass the ball to Henry.

Once the distance is opened, they can't complete the pass with one touch of the ball. They often stop for a while, adjust the unloading force, and then pass the ball out, keeping the ball from landing.

The reporters on the sidelines and the fans in the stands didn't find it new at first, but the more they watched it. The more I feel excited.

Especially after the distance between the five of them has been more than 10 meters. Watch them deftly stop the ball with their chest or thigh before kicking it to a teammate before it hits the ground. The ball is flying around in the air, as if it has a sense of rhythm that makes people can't help but dance.

Millwall's teammates were also watching, and Klose's eyes were full of yearning: When can I have such excellent ball sense and ball control skills like them?

This can be used to shoot commercials.

Jansen stood beside Aldrich and laughed.

Just saw that Ronaldinho passed the ball accurately to Henry with a scorpion tail wagging with his heels, and Henry unloaded the ball with his shoulders, then turned the ball up and headed it to Larson.

Aldridge looked at Ronaldinho, Schneider and the others showed off their skills, and chuckled, It's nice to be young.

Ronaldinho usually has a showy side in training, but he doesn't pull other people, and has a lot of fancy moves. It is useless in the competition, and it is useless in practice. Today, it is really a performance for the audience to appreciate.

It's time for a break, but before Ronaldinho and the others let the ball hit the ground, the distance between them has been pulled to more than 15 meters, and the fans in the stands will cheer every time they pass the ball.

Aldridge picked up the whistle on his chest and blew it, signaling the team to resume the next step of training. Ronaldinho stopped the ball with his chest, and then shot towards the goal.

boom

The ball bounced off the crossbar. It bounced straight back, but still didn't hit the ground. Larson directly volleyed and added a kick, and the ball flew to the empty goal again, this time, it scored.

The fans in the stands were stunned. They probably thought that Ronaldinho hit the crossbar on purpose.

Especially after Larson volleyed, Ronaldinho walked over to give the opponent a one-handed high-five. It seemed that he had sent an assist.

Not only did Ronaldinho know it, but his teammates and coaches also knew that it was just a coincidence.

The Millwall team neatly conducted open training in Hong Kong, leaving the audience stunned.

And **, it's not over yet.

When testing the sprint speed, Ronaldinho was in a team with Glenshire, but Ronaldinho was blown away by Glenshire.

Aldridge looked at Ronaldinho's results and was a little dissatisfied. He called Ronaldinho to criticize symbolically.

Just compare yourself with him, don't you claim to be a good athlete?

Klinsmann also booed beside him.

Aldridge had no choice but to accept a sprint contest with Ronaldinho.

Although the team will test the players' 100-meter ability, the training is mainly to practice the short-distance 30-meter sprint.

After all, in a game, no matter what position a player is in, it is impossible to rush 100 meters, so a player like Klose who has no advantage in 100-meter speed may feel that his speed is not fast, but in fact, his speed is not average. fast!

Because of the 30-meter short-distance burst sprint, Klose's start and burst are very good, coupled with the awareness of timing, start half a second before the opponent, one second, and the distance after the sprint will be opened in the blink of an eye.

Aldridge knew that he would be overwhelmed by Ronaldinho in the short-distance sprint, so he decided to increase the distance from 30 meters to 50 meters.

Ronaldinho protested, Aldridge refused!

When the two stood on the starting line, Klinsmann was the referee, and Aldridge whispered to Ronaldinho: Let me.

Ronaldinho asked back: Is there any benefit?

Please eat the most unique Chinese food!

It's a deal!

The moment Klinsmann's arm dropped, Ronaldinho rushed out like a cheetah. Although Aldrich also activated it, he was dumbfounded.

It's a deal?

Is this what let me say?

Just now you and Glenn Sherby didn't have such a terrifying outbreak, did you!

This is a contest without any suspense. Aldridge is a self-proclaimed athlete, which is also in the category of ordinary people. Compared with professional football players, especially players with speed advantages, they are simply not in the same order of magnitude.

30 meters, the winner has been divided, Ronaldinho is at least 4 meters ahead.

But Ronaldinho was so mean-spirited that he not only turned his head and winked at Aldridge, but also deliberately slowed down a bit, just ahead of Aldridge, and pressed him to the finish line.

This made Aldrich very angry.

Just before the finish line, Ronaldinho was about to cross the line, and Aldrich began to lose face!

He reached out to grab Ronaldinho's clothes, but he himself might be impatient, tripped and fell forward, the hand that was grabbing Ronaldinho's clothes still caught something.

Xiao Luo's smug expression suddenly petrified, he lost his center of gravity, not only fell to the ground, but also felt a chill in his lower body, he turned his head and said: Fuck me!

His shorts were ripped off by Aldrich

Aldrich let go of his hands and rolled on the ground, with his forehead resting on his arms face down, and he couldn't help laughing, but he was embarrassed to stand up.

There was a dead silence at first, and then the audience in the stands went crazy with joy.

The reporters rushed to take pictures.

The Millwall players laughed too.

Only the team doctor ran over nervously to check whether the two people who fell to the ground were injured.

Injured, is a little bit.

But it's all scratches, skin trauma.

Ronaldinho stood up and put on his shorts, pressed his waist with one hand, as if he was afraid that Aldrich would take off his pants again, and came to Aldrich who was sitting on the ground dumbfoundingly, raised his other hand and said confidently: Boss, you also Isn't that shameless?

It's because you have no sportsmanship! If you win, you win, and you deliberately made me look ugly!

Aldridge protested with a lack of confidence while holding his forehead.

Xiao Luo rolled his eyes, he couldn't help but laugh, and said: You made a fool of yourself, and you made me make a fool of yourself!

Aldrich was too lazy to entangle with him, raised his hand and said, Pull me up, you liar.

Ronaldinho pulled him up from the ground, remembering the agreement he had made before starting the race, and said without changing his face: I let you, really.

fraud.

Aldridge cursed with a smile, and the two walked to the sidelines accompanied by the team doctor to do some simple wound cleaning.

At the scene, the booing and cheering became louder. (to be continued...)
