The Young Lion

Ronaldo's goal stunned Souness.

Plans can't keep up with changes!

Before he could order the whole team to make a last-ditch effort, Millwall kicked them off the edge of the cliff!

Beneath the abyss, Souness knew he had lost, Blackburn had lost to Millwall, he had lost to Aldridge.

He made a stupid move in the first half, causing the team to concede two goals, excluding Ronaldo's goal. In other times, Millwall's offense and Blackburn's defense were actually relatively balanced. On the scene No difference.

But Ronaldo's debut changed this balanced situation.

Is Ronaldo stronger than Lamour?

No, Souness knows, he lost to Aldridge at the coaching level.

Ronaldo and Lamour are players with different characteristics. He didn't expect Ronaldo to play. He didn't study Ronaldo enough, and the preparation was naturally insufficient. After Ronaldo came on the field, Blackburn didn't change his defensive strategy accordingly. There was no plan for targeted restrictions, and Souness lost because of this.

If Ronaldinho is on the stage, Blackburn has prepared carefully, and so has everyone else.

However, Aldridge sent Ronaldo, a player who might be neglected to the greatest extent in the preparation work of the Millwall opponents, because there are only 11 players in the starting lineup, and there are 7 substitutes, and it is impossible to give them all. Forwards, unfortunately, Millwall's substitute list today is full of offensive players.

Lamore can better integrate the team and stimulate the integrity of team combat, but Lamore does not have the impact of Ronaldo. When Ronaldo and Kaka work together on the same line to break through Blackburn's midfielder. Ronaldo can still rush down the road and play the killer again. This is his advantage. It is also the purpose of Aldrich sending him to play.

Changing the rhythm, Blackburn defended Lamour for more than 60 minutes, and Lamour did not break through. They did not stand the test and suddenly became Ronaldo. This change can catch Blackburn by surprise.

Souness has come to this moment with nothing else to do. Commanding the whole team to attack, the instruction is the same as in the established plan, but the meaning is different. One goal behind is to give it a go, two goals behind is more like a dying struggle!

Aldridge didn't give tactical instructions, he just wanted to see if these young players on the field would play in such a situation.

As ridiculous as it sounds, a two-goal lead. won't kick anymore?

Yes,

There are many teams that don't know how to play the game when they are leading. Because the mind is bound, is it offensive or defensive? How to unify the thinking of the whole team? Some teams are frequently reversed, and often when they are in the lead, the team breaks down.

Cristiano Ronaldo always remembers the communication with Aldridge before going on the field. At this time, he found that Blackburn was about to attack violently, and Aldridge didn't say to step back and fight back, so he thought of the realm of controlling the game.

When it comes to controlling the game, it must be driven by a certain player, such as Pirlo, who does not need to control the ball, but can achieve this goal by passing the ball with one kick. When he frequently chooses to play the ball safely, he is In controlling the game, if he described it so despicably, he might be teasing his opponent, treating his opponent as a beast. He is a beast tamer, and the beast wants to swallow his opponent but there is no way.

Blackburn pressed up, and Ronaldo paid special attention to the positions of Alonso and Zambrotta. He did not choose to advance aggressively, but ran back and forth slowly, and when the ball came, he kicked the ball and quickly transferred the ball.

Blackburn made a crazy siege, and Millwall moved the ball faster and faster. One kick, two kicks, three kicks, the ball seemed to be unable to pass, but when Blackburn moved more and more balls with Millwall, it was crazy The center of gravity of the siege was constantly shifting, the defense system was torn apart, and after arriving, they themselves were in chaos.

In the 87th minute, facing the siege, Alonso made a pass back and passed the ball to Zambrotta, who launched a long pass without hesitation.

This long pass was not particularly accurate, but in front of his side, there was a big gap in Blackburn's defense. When the ball flew over the midfield, Ronaldo had already passed the opponent's back line!

When he saw the ball, Aldridge stood up from the coach's bench, because he saw all three Millwall players succeed in anti-offside!

Ronaldo got the ball from the wing, but the ball didn't stop well, and his speed slowed down. He has only two choices at this time. Going forward is the basis, but should he go it alone or pass the ball?

Going alone, he starts the speed cut in, and Blackburn will definitely be able to catch up.

Pass the ball, as long as you pass the ball steadily to the middle, Klose and Villa, no matter who they are, will face the goalkeeper one-on-one, single-handedly!

At this time, it is to test whether he puts himself first or the team in his heart at this moment!

Therefore, Aldrich stood up and stared at Ronaldinho. He was like Najib who met Ronaldinho for the first time. He couldn't help muttering: Bi, pass, pass

Ronaldo originally wanted to do it alone, this opportunity is great!

Maybe he was too excited and didn't stop the ball well. Instead, he kicked the ball forward lightly, so he caught up with the ball and stopped it, and the speed dropped. At this time, he saw the follow-up Klose also has Villa at the far end. If he does it alone, he must get rid of at least one defender who is chasing back when he enters the penalty area.

The left foot kicked the ball hard to the center with the arch of the foot, and Ronaldo chose to pass the ball!

Aldridge closed his eyes and let out a long breath, regardless of whether the goal is scored or not, Ronaldo, during the time he came off the bench today, Aldridge can give him 9 points, which is almost perfect!

When he closed his eyes, he heard the cheers erupting from the stadium.

The coaching staff around applauded, cheered, and laughter spread.

Aldridge opened his eyes and saw Klose's somersault celebration.

4:1, Millwall secured the victory, the first championship of the new year, firmly in the bag, congratulations to Millwall, this is a young victory for them, a match that belongs to Millwall's future in Hall's mouth Victory, the far-reaching meaning behind this victory is far more important than a championship trophy!

Souness straightened his suit, turned and walked towards Millwall's coaching bench. The game was over with one minute left. He is coming now. Congratulations in advance to Aldridge.

Aldrich shook his hand. Then the two stood on the sidelines and had a brief conversation. As a young man, Aldridge patted Souness's arm lightly. In any case, the relationship between Aldridge and him Without deep friendship, there is still a minimum of respect.

Moreover, Souness has a good network in English football and has many friends. It can be seen that the popularity is good.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the players and coaches at Millwall's coaching bench got up one after another and hugged each other.

But the players on the field, like Alonso, were running around in excitement, laughing and screaming.

From start to finish, Alonso. Kaka, Klose. Players like Villa are the first choice for the starting lineup. Unless there is an injury, this trophy was not obtained by them mixing, but by their own efforts, which is of extraordinary significance.

Aldridge walked into the field to congratulate the players, and then, at the request of the reporter, took a group photo with some players on the sidelines.

Ronaldo and Kaka stood beside him, while Villa sat cross-legged in front of him. They gestured with thumbs and smiled.

When they returned to the locker room after the awards ceremony, this group of young players was about to fall out. They were naked and wearing underwear, with medals hanging around their necks. They took a group photo with the medals in their hands. Gattuso used the trophy as a cup. , fill up the champagne, take a few sips, and pour it on your teammates

Aldridge knows that the senior players in the team will celebrate with restraint, and as for the young people, they are allowed to indulge today.

The next day, Fleet Street focused on Millwall's victory in the League Cup. The League Cup itself is not very attractive. The players took the lead and went all the way to the final. In the final, all 4 goals came from substitute players.

Maybe we can't see Klose as a stable substitute for Millwall, because he has been competing for the main force. Who can't make up Millwall's main striker trident, then Klose must be the first choice. The number of appearances in the season is no different from the main players, but young players like Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo must represent the future of Millwall. With such an effect, who dared to line up in the final, boldly trusted young players, Hall's courage is admirable, his adventure has received more than expected returns, we should stop wondering: Why is Millwall so Strong? We should ask: Why do some strong teams dare not trust young players? Why do they have a huge gap with Millwall in terms of investment in youth training? Why do they prefer to spend 10 million pounds to introduce players, but not 3 million British pounds to improve youth training conditions?

David Miller is a loyal fan of Aldridge, but he does not blindly admire Aldridge. He will dig deep into the reasons for Millwall's success, summarize them, and spread them, hoping to have a positive impact on football .

As for the headline Millwall ensures at least the season's double! as the Sun newspaper, Aldridge basically didn't even read the content, but he was still happy for the media to hype it up. As long as it wasn't too much, it was for Millwall. Wall advertises.

The young players had a great time, celebrating the championship took too much energy. Even after a day off, they returned to the club the next day, but none of them recovered. Ronaldo originally ran to Aldridge alone, asking to be included in the Champions League squad. It is certainly impossible for him to start, but he hopes to be a substitute.

However, Aldridge refused, on the grounds that his physical condition was not enough to be a substitute. Ronaldo left disappointed, and then went back to speed up recovery.

He wants to play the Champions League because he has a little selfishness, because Millwall is going to Porto, Portugal to play the Champions League in the middle of the week. Ronaldo wants to take the opportunity to return to his hometown. It is best to make an appearance in front of his compatriots and tell everyone Portuguese: At the age of 17, I am wearing a rich jersey and standing on the stage of the Champions League!

The main players of Millwall are very clear-headed. Only two days later, winning the League Cup seems to have never happened. They are fully preparing for the Champions League. The score of 3:0 defeated Bovista, and the second stage of the Champions League group stage won three consecutive victories. As long as they return to the home court and win Bovista after a week, they can declare their promotion to the quarter-finals of the Champions League! (to be continued...) ()
