The Young Lion

Thanks to Thief Death, Mito Yoheishi, Ren Er Kid and Shimadzu for their rewards!

Larson stood up and walked to Henry with a smile on his face. The two hooked each other's shoulders and walked towards the direction where Zambrotta was.

As a striker, scoring goals is the first task.

But there is no striker who can guarantee scoring every game. The more top teams, the less they can completely rely on strikers. In a sense, the distribution of goals is also the standard for measuring a team's offensive strength. A single scoring point is easy. Restricted by opponents.

Larson and Henry encountered great difficulties in the two games against Valencia. The opponents compressed the space inside and outside the penalty area and closely marked them. And Larson's penalty kick is considered the best chance, and in this game, the best chance is Schneider's cross after the offside just now, both of them were one step away. Fortunately, some teammates made up for their missed opportunity. Otherwise, if the team fails to advance in the end, they will definitely feel guilty.

After the goal that reversed the situation appeared, Cooper had a similar expression to the players of the Valencia team, unwilling!

Nearly 180 minutes of hard work went to waste in the blink of an eye!

Cooper was about to deploy troops, but when he turned to the bench, he saw a scene that made him unbelievable.

Not far away, in front of the coaching bench of the home team, the young coach who is famous in Europe has already pulled two players to arrange the tasks after playing.

The players on the field are still celebrating. What is Aldridge doing since the goal appeared?

He didn't celebrate at all!

Instead, he turned his head and called back the players who were warming up, and even went crazy!

Pedretti and Neal almost ran to join the celebration, but were almost called back by Aldrich's roar.

While the team was celebrating, Aldridge was already preparing for substitutions and adjustments.

Cooper, when he lost to Aldridge in the final last year, was unwilling!

But when he saw this scene, he understood that the opponent's success was not accidental. Millwall was behind for such a long time, and Aldridge did not show the slightest anxiety on the sidelines. Protection, judging substitutions, etc.

For the second consecutive year, Cooper felt a chill in his heart.

In the position of head coach, good cards are not necessarily strong. Cooper has also led Valencia to defeat too many teams that are stronger than their lineup. Real Madrid and Barcelona in the same league have also become his defeats. .

But against Millwall, if it wasn't for Valencia's luck, they would have been beaten into a sieve. In the first round, those goalposts and crossbars bounced half of the goal, and Valencia would have lost.

With nearly 180 minutes of game time, Valencia could not compete against Millwall at all on the scene, relying on shocking European defensive counterattacks. 99 is pure defense, and the counterattack threat is out of the question.

Cooper shook his head, putting aside all distracting thoughts in his mind.

There is still time, and Valencia still has room for miracles! Sure!

Aldridge will make a substitution soon, and it was supposed to be the time for Valencia to make an immediate adjustment, but instead, his opponent took another step ahead!

Cooper immediately sent Zahovic and Carew to the sidelines to prepare to play.

Karu has increased the high point of the striker. Zahovic is a talented player that has emerged in Slovenia in recent years. Unfortunately, this person likes to have conflicts, so he cannot be appreciated and reused. Now he has to use it. The technical ability must be there. Saved the team from adversity.

When Millwall's celebration ended, the two teams on the sidelines made substitutions at the same time.

After Millwall rewritten the total score to 3:2, Millwall and Valencia made substitutions at the same time. Both sides used the last two substitutions. Millwall sent Neal and Pedretti. , Ronaldinho and Pirlo left the field. Valencia removed the bilateral defenders Caboni and Angeloma, and replaced Zahovic and Carew.

When Ronaldinho and Pirlo left the field, they received thunderous cheers and applause from the audience.

Aldridge also greeted the end of the two with applause, and celebrated with two high-fives respectively.

Materazzi was removed earlier, and now Neal is on top to play central defender.

Pedretti replaced Pirlo and partnered with Gattuso as a double midfielder. Nedved retreated from the midfielder to the midfield. The formation was 451. Henry and Larsson played on the side, and Klose topped the center.

Valencia used to have 5 backs. Now they have removed two 36-year-old full-back veterans and replaced them with two forwards, excluding the back line. In fact, the center and front field are 222 positions. In the midfield, Gonzalez and Mendieta are on one side, and Carew and Zahovic are two forwards. Since one was sent off, the formation change is actually one less defender.

The time has come to the 84th minute of the game, but Valencia has not aggressively pressed the attack since the kick-off, and Millwall does not use high-pressure pressing tactics at this time. It is too risky, especially when the opponent has replaced two players. They are forwards with plenty of physical energy and impact, but they don't shrink back in defense, they just move back a little on the basis of balance.

Valencia are good counter-attackers, but now it's a positional game, they pass the ball patiently, trying to find the weak link of Millwall's defense.

They dare not lose the ball easily.

However, Millwall's defense is very good, especially now that one more player is playing and a double midfielder is also deployed to ensure the defense line.

Valencia's offensive players gritted their teeth and looked at the opponent's impenetrable defense line. They wanted to penetrate the ground and couldn't find the ball.

Finally, what can be done?

The more the ball falls, the smaller the space, and the more impatient the team becomes.

Time waits for no one, every minute is passing by.

Mendieta tried to get past Zambrotta on the wing and almost lost the ball, and Zambrotta was annoyed with his own defense.

He cut off the ball when the opponent broke through, and he was about to grab the ball, but the action of stopping the ball knocked the ball out of bounds.

After Valencia kicked the ball out of bounds, he shifted the ball to the other side, and Gonzalez couldn't find the point of the ball.

Nedved stuck to his side to block his connection with Albelda in the middle, and Pedretti stared at Zahovic next to him. There was only one point of delivery, which was to pass back to the defender behind him, and to pass La Wilson!

Gonzalez had no choice but to see Schneider lower his center of gravity and close the inside line step by step, so he could only pass the ball to find the high point Karoo in the penalty area.

Valencia had good luck in these two games. In the last game, there was a goalkeeper to keep the goal. In this game, Gattuso had an own goal. Gonzalez hopes that at this time, luck can stand in Valencia again On West Asia's side, let his cross turn into a lore!

After the cross was kicked out, Gonzalez was full of expectations, and he felt that the quality of the ball was extremely high!

However, when he saw that Neal grabbed the landing point first and lifted the ball with his body to take off and push the ball away, he gritted his teeth unwillingly.

Neil's header was not far away and landed at Gattuso's feet.

Nedved ran forward, Albelda was close to marking, Gattuso was undisturbed, looked up calmly for a second, and then kicked the ball straight to the left with one foot on the ground.

Henry, who was at the center line on the left side, waited for the ball to reach his feet and took advantage of the trend to move forward. He immediately started to explode, and the speed increased to the fastest in an instant, and he dribbled forward with lightning speed.

The Wild Lions fans in the stands roared and screamed, bursting out with unparalleled passion.

Thierry, go!

Although the game came to the final period, Henry, who seldom went back to participate in the defense throughout the game, was in good physical condition, and it was no problem to accelerate and sprint in the halftime!

Accompanied by the boiling stands, the live camera moved forward rapidly, and even the audience in front of the TV had an illusion: Henry is driving the entire stadium to move!

Baraja was not close to Henry when he switched from offense to defense. After Henry started to accelerate, he obviously couldn't catch up with him. Even when Henry came to the 40-yard line and started to walk inside, Baraja still Three meters away behind Henry.

Ayala, Djukic, Pellegrino, the three lined up, facing three Millwall forwards, Henry with the ball, Klose in the middle, and followed up with a cut in from the right Larson.

Henry suddenly scored the ball in front of Ayala. Klose deliberately rushed forward and then stopped, widening the distance with Djukic. At this time, he took the ball and Djukic rushed up again, it was too late!

Klose slanted to the front right, Larson sprang out from behind Pellegrino, and kicked an outspin half-high pass before the baseline without stopping the ball.

Henry moved forward after scoring the ball, passed Ayala and killed to the left of the center of the goal.

Larson's half-high ball was for Henry!

Although the timing of the pass was not perfect, the trajectory of the ball's outward rotation made Henry unable to stop the ball. He was too fast, but Henry did not miss this opportunity.

Without slowing down, the body jumped up and turned sideways, stretched out the right leg, and kicked the ball straight with the foot stretched.

Volley lying down!

Cooper closed his eyes in despair on the sidelines.

It's over!

boom!

The crowd roared at the Lion King Stadium, and everyone opened their eyes wide to witness Henry's unstoppable volley shot to send the ball into the gate. Canizares just made a subconscious save and did not guess the direction of the ball at all. Dramatically, if Canizares just stood there, maybe his shoulder could block the ball.

Super perfect volley shot! Henry scored Millwall's fourth goal of the game. Now Millwall leads Valencia 4:2 on aggregate. There should be no suspense. Henry's eye-popping goal The ball ended the game! From the moment Henry touched the ball, Millwall's attacking attack was 3 on 4, but Henry dribbled and rushed to get rid of Baraja, and then, 3 on 3, Henry, Klose , Larsson, and Millwall's concise, effective and deadly cooperation easily destroyed Valencia's defense!

Henry got up from the ground and jogged backwards, pointing his hands at Larson and Klose respectively, and waiting for the two to pounce on them, all three of them fell to the ground, and then Nedved also pressed on it, Cato So, Gianluca Gianluca

Aldridge was really afraid that Henry would be crushed on the sidelines.

He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked up at the sky above the stadium. The clear night sky made people feel comfortable, and the road to defending the Champions League was another step forward.

The game has entered stoppage time, and Valencia has completely lost its offensive potential. In this level of competition, crowd tactics will not work. It is not possible to increase the offensive threat by pushing everyone up. If you really dare to press up, the defense will be crumbling if it is hit by a counterattack.

Restricting Millwall's offensive space is the focus of their efforts in the two games. The counterattack just now has clearly told them how terrifying the power of Millwall will be when they have offensive space, even if it is 3 vs. 3 with a balanced number, Millwall Wall can still play devastating power.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Valencia players left the field dejectedly, and the Millwall team entered the field to celebrate each other's progress to the semi-finals, and at the same time thank the fans, without these loyalty, cute, and even a little scary The fans created a very shocking cheer today, maybe the pressure of Valencia's game is not so great yet.

Aldridge walked towards Cooper, and shook hands with him solemnly, without any overpowering air.

Every top-level contest is a test to temper Millwall, and it is also a precious opportunity for Aldrich to have his own rich coaching experience. He respects every opponent and thanks every hostile coach. Gratitude doesn't change. rs ()
