The Young Lion

At Villa Park, the Chelsea fans in the stands looked numb, while the Wild Lions fans started the carnival party at this time as usual.

Millwall retracted and compressed the space in the midfield and backcourt. Even if Chelsea played a long pass, they might not be able to get a chance.

Others said that attacking from the beginning to the end is a hero's true qualities, and Aldrich scoffed.

Millwall's philosophy has never been to pursue offense, but to pursue victory. Attack is only a means of victory, but it does not represent victory.

In the early years, some people would criticize Millwall for being too utilitarian, and when they held the key to victory, they took it back to fight counterattacks.

But now, such voices are beginning to disappear, turning into hymns.

Victory after victory, Hall is playing his best role to help the team gain an advantage, turn the advantage into a victory, and firmly hold the victory in his hands when the situation is bright!

Yes, I think it is unfair to criticize him for being too utilitarian in the past. Thinking from his standpoint, victory is naturally the first. Secondly, he trains young players and needs to stimulate players with victory. If the victory in hand Flying, this will undoubtedly be a very big blow. Because of this, he has to put victory first. At the same time, there is another role, which is to make the players' minds flexible. 3:1, they Of course, you can continue to attack, but the risk of conceding the ball will increase, because with the decline in physical fitness, Chelsea are desperate to counterattack, Millwall knows that the opponent will press up, why bother to attack and open the door to meet the opponent?

In fact Aldridge does, Ranieri, or other opponents. I don't think he is utilitarian. Because it was them who changed. 80% will do the same, because the consequence of doing so is to hit the opponent even more!

I'm right here, you can only watch me take away the victory!

When Millwall leads 3:1 but begins to focus on defense and control the rhythm of the game, the physical and mental suffering imposed on the opponent will be extremely powerful. This is a kind of torture!

It has to be said that Aldrich has some dark pleasures, he just likes to watch this kind of scene. Even if you are on the first day of the junior high school and I am on the fifteenth day, Feng Shui will take turns.

Want to back down and hit my counterattack, now I'm ahead, it's time for me to catch your counterattack!

Chelsea's counterattack in the last 20 minutes continued to increase the investment of offensive troops, but they still could not gain an advantage in the midfield, and could only rely on the cross after advancing from the wing to create a threat. Without any worries, Metzelder and Barzali. Control the situation in the penalty area very well, and De Rossi sometimes retreats to the hinterland of the penalty area. It is always thrilling to see the ball flying in Millwall's penalty area, but the danger is steadily resolved.

In the 84th minute, Millwall played a lightning counterattack. Alonso instigated an offensive in the middle and then moved forward. Kaka rushed all the way in front of him. Lamore made a transition in the middle. Kaka and Villa formed a double ghost shot The momentum of the goal, but the ball was passed back at the last moment. Chelsea, who had a small defense line, turned their backs in the penalty area. When Alonso made the final decision, he almost hit the goal empty.

4:1, Millwall sealed the victory! The young Alonso also scored. It is widely rumored that Millwall's midfielder Pirlo will leave in the summer, but the Wild Lions should not be too worried. They have Plan b to deal with the departure of the core, the current Alonso is a very good candidate, don't forget, Millwall also has a loanee at White Hart Lane who played well all season long Lampard!

When the game was over, Aldridge raised his arms and roared.

Yeah!

Defeating his arch-enemy to advance to the final will undoubtedly make him excited, and what makes him even more excited is that he is relying on Millwall's substitute lineup to reach the final!

The players who appeared on the field did not show joy, but instead clenched their fists and waved them heavily, which seemed to be a kind of depressing pleasure.

For them, it is really not easy to get here. The FA Cup and League Cup this season are not a journey of conquest for them, but a battlefield for self-proving.

The League Cup has already been won, and the tickets for the FA Cup final are now in hand. Such a record stimulates their confidence very strongly.

The next day, the major media on Fleet Street sang praises for the Lions' promotion to the FA Cup final.

4:1, the new generation of wild lions defeated Chelsea!

Hall shows off a new killer move again: who said 442 can't kill the Quartet?!

Millwall and Arsenal meet in the FA Cup final!

Villa, Kaka, Alonso, the hero of the Lion, who is the next generation of Lion King?

 …

Dad, is Madrid fun?

I didn't go to Madrid for tourism. It's fun. Grandpa will take you there. If it's not fun, you'll blame him!

On the eve of his expedition to Spain, Aldrich packed his luggage at home as usual. These were all prepared by Evan. The simple short-distance travel equipment and a change of clothes were enough, and he only went for two days.

Yiwen has packed Aldrich's small suitcase in the bedroom, and she is preparing other things now.

Aldridge is sitting on the sofa in the living room, Bert and Earl are sitting on his lap, the two little guys are flipping through the album, and they can't put it down. The inside is Aldrich's travels around the world over the past ten years. There are many beautiful landscape photos in the photos, which the two sons like very much.

They ask questions: where is this?

They will be interested in visiting as well: can we go here and play?

They will be curious about novel things: Is this a monkey?

No, that's a koala.

Aldridge never feels that the time spent with his two children will be boring, which is also an important reason why he is determined to retire from the position of head coach after the World Cup in the summer.

Raising children is not just about taking care of them, but giving them a good living environment. Aldridge feels that the interaction between parents and children is extremely important, especially since Yiwen is not their biological mother. As a father, he will have a greater sense of responsibility. strong.

Sometimes he also thinks, why do other coaches at his age have ideas that absolutely do not have?

He thinks it may be because of his young age that other coaches are at least 35 years old when they are in charge of a top club. Even with kids. The child has also reached the age of the **. Even if adults want to worry about it, children may refuse.

Everyone's situation is different. Aldridge doesn't think about other people's situation. He just hopes that his life will be more satisfactory.

Starting tomorrow, you have to listen to Aunt Yiwen and grandparents. If you don't obey, next time, I won't take you out to play. Do you know?

Know it!

The brothers replied in unison.

They are more excited. Tomorrow when Millwall is going to Spain, they will meet up with Ivan and Arthur, and then go to Madrid to play together. The night after tomorrow, they will go to the box at the Bernabeu to watch the game.

madrid airport

The entire Millwall team arrived here on the club's private plane. In Spain, there are also many Millwall fans. To be honest, there are very few loyal fans in foreign countries. Most of them belong to chasing stars.

However, the arrival of the Millwall team still detonated the atmosphere at the airport.

Media reporters gather. It is difficult to count the fans who greeted them.

Millwall's staff, coaching staff, and players all walked out of the airport hall in uniform and uniform in suits and leather shoes.

Those well-known stars are the focus of the crowd.

Aldridge has quite a few female fans, and he has long been used to the shouts and shouts.

He walked steadily towards the bus outside the airport, and the players behind him, some of them waved interactively with the crowd.

A few years ago, Ronaldinho would dress up very weirdly when traveling, giving people a strange visual sense, but in the past year, he has become synonymous with fashion and avant-garde. The slim suit is very chic on the body, with hair bands, earrings, Famous watches, rings... If Ronaldinho is willing to have a beautifying plastic surgery, he will definitely be a fashionable man.

But football, you have skills and fame before anyone pays attention to your appearance. Ronaldinho’s popularity is definitely earned from the field, so no one will ignore him because of his appearance, and fall in love with his football first. , to fall in love with him, it has nothing to do with his face.

With the arrival of the Millwall team in Madrid, the hyped Battle of the Century officially kicked off.

The football atmosphere in Madrid has also entered a tense state of emergency preparations!

The headlines of the football sections of the major newspapers in Madrid the next day were all news about Millwall and Real Madrid.

Wednesday night, the temple of football in Madrid: Santiago Bernabéu.

Not only did the fans of both sides fill up the entire stadium stands early, but there were still many fans gathered outside the stadium. Before the start of the game, Millwall took the bus to the Bernabeu. There were media reporters sitting in the helicopter to shoot the live broadcast all the time. It can be seen how much attention this Battle of the Century has received!

Many celebrities came to the stands of the Bernabeu. The grand occasion was unprecedented. Chairman Florentino and Millwall Chairman Arthur sat down to watch the game after a brief greeting. The Real Madrid superstar brand he built is already starting to pay off.

Arthur thinks that Real Madrid has benefited from Millwall, and without Millwall's presence, Real Madrid wants to receive such a huge amount of attention today, it's a dream!

When the players from both sides were warming up on the field, the passion in the stands had already begun to be released, the echo of the Bernabeu was loud, and the team anthem lingered in the sky. Compared with the fans of the home team at the Bernabeu, the fans of Millwall were like a drop in the ocean, but they still held their scarves in the crowd. Singing the song of the wild lion, even if it will be drowned in the singing of the home team, but still no one shuts their mouths.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room.

The players sorted out the game equipment for the last time, put on the shin guards, tied the shoelaces, and stuffed the jerseys into the pants. After everything was done, the 11 starting players looked up with a determined look.

Aldridge put his hands in his pockets, raised his head and chest, and asked lightly: Real Madrid has introduced two superstars in the past two years, Figo and Zidane, and they look extremely powerful now. , can anyone tell me who is better, Millwall or Real Madrid?

Millwall!

The 11 team members answered in unison without hesitation, and their voices were loud.

Aldridge asked again: This is the Bernabeu, Millwall came here, what is the pursuit?

victory!

Let's go, play the game!

Aldridge turned away first, and the players followed him out of the locker room.

In the player channel, Aldridge passed the players of Real Madrid, but did not take a look at his former disciples Elguera and Makelele.

They look like white clothes win snow!

noble?

Maybe, who cares. (to be continued..) ()
