The Young Lion

Seven hundred and sixtieth battle of old enemies

The wild lion storm sweeps through hell!

The Millwall twins shine!

Galatasaray finally lost at home with a score of 2:4 and missed the top 8 of the Champions League. After Millwall won all 6 games in the top 32 group stage, they also won 6 games in the top 16 group stage. Advance to the top 8!

The outside world focuses on the outstanding performance of Ronaldo and Kaka. Seven years ago, people thought that Ajax would rule European football for an era, but it was eventually destroyed by the impact of the Bosman Act, and Millwall became the real ruler of this era. , and supernovas continued to emerge during the dynasty, people's question now is not whether Millwall will rule this era of football, because they are now the king of European football!

The question is: how long will Millwall reign?

Millwall shows no signs of decline, finances, long-term team lineup construction, these two most important factors, Millwall is not only not worrying, but also doing a very good job!

Nyon, Switzerland

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw.

Representatives of the top eight teams came to the scene one after another. Millwall sent Adam and assistant coach Klinsmann, but Aldridge did not show up.

Perhaps in addition to the representatives of Real Madrid, the representatives of the other 6 teams all hope that Millwall can draw Real Madrid. In this way, the two strongest teams in the Champions League this season will be discounted before the top 4!

Millwall was not the last team to be drawn, and the guests were aware of Millwall's fate after the seventh team was drawn. Because the last team left is called Barcelona. And Millwall's opponent's column. Still empty.

Millwall vs Barcelona!

Adam was expressionless. He was supposed to be the focus here. He didn’t get any attention here. No one would think he could represent anything. Klinsmann showed a smile. When the interview was over at the end of the lottery, Klinsmann Man talked eloquently.

There are no underdogs in the top 8. It is actually the same for anyone drawn. It is difficult to advance to the top 4, but Millwall has the awareness to face any difficulties. Barcelona has a strong lineup. The strength of the team cannot be underestimated. , this will be a difficult 180 minutes, or, 210 minutes, but in the past two years, or even four years. Millwall has come to this day in such an environment, we are not afraid of Barcelona. I hope these two games can provide Fans bring high-quality exciting games, and there may be a classic game that fans will never forget, hehehe.

After the lottery results came out, Fleet Street hyped up the grievances between the two teams.

The battle of old enemies! On the fifth anniversary of Millwall's European crown, we will meet Barcelona again!

Tracing back the grievances between the two teams, Millwall became famous in Europe with his feet on Barcelona. In the final of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1997, Millwall defeated Barcelona with aliens. It was also the beginning of that game. Millwall Wall began to officially enter the eyes of fans all over Europe and even the world. No one will remember that Millwall eliminated the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain before. They will only remember that they defeated the fantastic Barcelona in the final that year.

Then in the Champions League, Millwall met Barcelona and dealt a heavy blow to the opponent. It can be said that Millwall's grievances with Barcelona are not like you stab me, I will bruise you like Bayern Munich. Ash story, one-sided, Millwall stepped on Barcelona, ​​and completely suppressed Barcelona. If there is hatred, it should be Barcelona unilaterally revenge. Millwall will not think that there is much hatred between the two parties. After all, they The tyrants who have been defeated are too many to count.

Towards the end of the season, Aldrich’s life is very regular. Compared with previous years, he has declined many social activities. In addition to working during the day, he spends less time with his family when he returns home at night. He will work in the study before 10 o’clock. Evan spends time with the children and keeps Bert and Earl from disturbing Aldrich.

She knew that at this time, Aldridge would be more serious and devoted, especially since the World Cup is waiting for Aldridge this summer.

Apart from his own work, Aldrich spends most of his time researching opponents. He organizes the collected information, and then refers to, studies, repeats, ponders, thinks, looks through his past notebooks, and develops ideas. .

He understands very well that for a knockout-style cup match, it is not enough to do the internal work on his own, absolutely not enough!

Maybe a 90-minute game requires 90 hours or even 90 days of energy from the coaching staff!

On the match day, Aldridge led the England national team to face the visiting Paraguay at the Lion King Stadium. He sent the main lineup of the national team and ended the warm-up match with a small victory over the opponent. The impact is greatly reduced.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are about to start. Barcelona will be a guest in London first, and Millwall welcomes their opponents at home.

The current coach of Barcelona is Rexach. He is a legendary Barcelona player. After retiring, he served as Cruyff's assistant and worked as a firefighter before.

Rexach said unswervingly in an interview with the Catalan media before departure: I think a lot of strong teams have made a mistake when facing Millwall, that is, they are afraid of going against their opponents. , the reality is that Millwall's defense is not the best in Europe. Barcelona will not shrink back when they go to the away game. Even if we want to take away a draw, it must be a draw with goals, but we will take victory as our goal. !

What Rexach said won the approval of the Spanish media.

Millwall's defense is top-notch at best, and it is by no means a model of defensive success. This is their weakness and must be exploited. They are extremely convinced that Barcelona can score away goals, and even destroy the mighty Lions in offense!

Barcelona's top star Rivaldo said: We are not afraid of Millwall, they are strong, we are not weak, we can win!

Kluivert said: I will break the goal guarded by Bout!

It's not like a football team, it's the Catalan army that's heading to London from Spain!

Barcelona united as one, is bound to break Millwall's domination of Europe.

Facing the mighty and majestic Barcelona, ​​when Aldridge was interviewed before the game, Fleet Street relayed Barcelona's remarks to him, and he replied seriously: I admire Barcelona's courage, and this is my One of the qualities that the team must have. However, I will not look at the opponent blindly. Maybe Rexach is right, our defense is not the best in the world, but he should think about why Milwaukee Our opponents will strengthen and strengthen their defense to face us. Perhaps, Barcelona encountered an opponent with outstanding defense in Spain, and only focused on the defense.”

What Aldrich said made the Fleet Street reporter bow their heads and smile.

Valencia, the leader of La Liga, relies on its defensive ability to top the list. In terms of offense, Valencia is far behind the La Liga duo.

At the beginning of the night, the Lion King Stadium was full of seats, and the fans of the home team made a traditional Millwall cheering pattern in the stands, Millwall's iconic blue lion.

Aldridge and Rexach shook hands before the game, and they were ready to direct the game without a word of conversation. Perhaps Rexach planned this way, and Aldridge sat directly on the coach's bench, with his usual expression and sharp eyes staring at The field is still empty.

In the first round of the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup in 2010, the defending champion Millwall is at home against La Liga giants Barcelona. The game is about to begin. Players from both sides have already entered the field for the opening ceremony of the Champions League. There are not many matches between the two teams in the European arena. , but the battle record shows that Millwall is leading with an overwhelming advantage. Will today be a super feast of confrontation? Barcelona coach Rexach said so before the game, it depends on Millwall's young coach Hall Is it accompanied.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfield: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Henry, Ronaldinho.

Barcelona starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Bonano.

Defenders: Reziger, Abelardo, De Boer, Sergi.

Midfielders: Overmars, Cocu, Roschenback, Enrique.

Forwards: Kluivert, Rivaldo.

The game is about to start, let us wait and see.

This much-anticipated peak battle kicked off. Even though Barcelona’s ranking in La Liga is somewhat contemptuous, the giants are giants after all. Simply speaking of the strength of the lineup, how big is the gap between Barcelona and Millwall? There is no need to repeat Millwall's gorgeous attacking group, but Kluivert, Rivaldo, Enrique, and Overmars in Barcelona are unknown people?

Roschenback, a rough Brazilian, is not good at offense. Putting him and Ronaldinho together are two extremes of Brazilian players, but he has good strength in fighting and fierce defense, plus he never gives up and has a strong fighting spirit. Cocu, Barcelona's midfield is very tough.

Offensive players are the focus on the field, which makes the outside world look forward to the confrontation between these two teams.

Rexach boasted before the game that he would capture the Lion King Stadium. He dared to say this with confidence. If he had players like Rivaldo, Kluivert, and Overmars, he would not dare to say a few words Big words, then this coach is too unambitious.

As for Aldridge, who was sitting on the coach's bench, he hoped that Barcelona would set off smoke bombs and make some unexpected killing moves with a feint shot.

But after seeing the situation after the opening, he smiled calmly and said to himself: It seems that today there is no need to fight wits, and the battle of courage is enough. (To be continued...) ()
