The Young Lion

After the league, Millwall began to prepare for the second round of the Champions League semi-finals. The atmosphere of the team was relatively relaxed, without the tension before the war.

On a sunny morning, the players came to the training ground early. Before the official training, they would chat or do some warm-up exercises by themselves.

Schneider and Klose were wandering together in London last night. They saw a group of avant-garde young people dancing hip-hop in a comprehensive modern square. The scene was very hot. Klose recorded a segment with a digital camera and is now sharing it with teammates.

Ronaldinho came a little later, but it was still early from the start of training, not late.

When he came to the training ground, he saw a group of teammates watching the clips in the digital camera. When he became interested, he danced directly on the training ground, as if he wanted to compare himself with the boys in the video.

He was jumping happily, but when he was doing a twist, he tripped his foot, then fell on the training field, and then, the team doctor confirmed that he was injured.

Aldridge had a very good morning. He has been resting on time for more than half a year, and his body is in good condition. He got up early today and was full of energy. He had a morning love exercise with Ivan and came to work refreshed.

He didn't go to the training ground, but went directly to the medical center. After learning the reason for Ronaldinho's injury, he wanted to give him a lesson aggressively, but seeing Ronaldinho drooping his head and applying ice packs to his ankles, Odry Qi couldn't bear it again.

Hey, you've left me speechless! Is it because you're not interested in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final? You have to play such a thrilling game to be happy?

Aldridge sat down beside Ronaldinho in a joking tone.

At first, Ronaldinho didn't understand what Aldrich said. After thinking about it for a while, he raised his head and said without tears: Boss, I don't want to either! The turf of the stadium is not repaired. There is a hole there. Maybe the turf is loose, anyway...

Anyway, it's your fault! Don't blame the grass, the training ground, it's not a place to dance, please, aren't you too relaxed?

Ronaldinho thought for a while and said, It's possible. We've already advanced to the final. Anyway, I didn't mean to avoid the second round of the semi-final on purpose, absolutely not!

Last year's Champions League semi-final second leg. He was absent because he was sent off and injured in the first leg.

Aldridge waited here for the diagnosis report from the team doctor. It was not until the end of the morning that he learned that Ronaldinho would be absent for half a month, which made him feel relieved.

At least not as tight as last year's time,

There must be time for him to recover.

Recover well, don't make any more accidents!

Before leaving, Aldridge simply issued a ban on some activities for Ronaldinho. Anyway, during the recovery period, he should stay at home and go to and from the club's medical center. Two points and one line.

Ronaldinho immediately nodded and agreed, and he was also afraid of other problems. After all, what awaits him is not only the final of the European Champions Cup, but also the World Cup in the summer.

Aldridge returned to the coaching staff meeting center, convened the coaching staff, and re-formulated the tactical arrangements for the second round of the Champions League. Fortunately, Ronaldinho was not injured before the start of the game. At least now, Aldridge can have time to rearrange the team. Tactics, Ronaldinho is a key role, whether he is up or not, although Millwall's defensive system has not changed much, it will have an intuitive impact on the entire offensive system, because no one can replace his role!

The day before the Champions League game, Fleet Street focused on Ronaldinho's injury. Millwall officially announced yesterday that Ronaldinho will miss the game due to injury. The expected recovery period is two weeks.

This cannot be concealed. Ronaldinho is not only followed by paparazzi in and out of club training, but also paparazzi follows him when he goes out to eat.

Millwall will use the trick of smoke bombs, but if Ronaldinho is wrapped in his feet and leaning on crutches to act, it would be too low, and it would be a bit ambiguous...

Ronaldinho will miss this game, that's the reality.

Who will Millwall replace him with? Klose? Villa? Lamour?

In the starting XI, Ronaldinho started at left winger and Fleet Street took it for granted that Millwall would replace Ronaldinho with a striker.

However, Aldridge replied: I haven't decided who to send. I need to check the status of the substitute players before the game.

No one believed what he said!

Absolutely not!

The game is tomorrow, and Millwall hasn't finalized tomorrow's starting list yet?

It is true that some clubs will decide on the starting lineup at the last minute before the game, but Millwall’s tradition is not like this. The outside world has inquired about Millwall’s internal secrets, and they have already known Millwall’s tradition, and they will finalize tactics and starters the day before the game .

Aldridge didn't say anything, just because he didn't want the opponent to focus on the research. If he told a lie, it would easily hurt the hearts of the players. For example, he said that Alonso would start tomorrow, but the result was not. What would Alonso think?

The second half of Millwall's battle of the century against Real Madrid continued at the Lion King Stadium the following day.

Compared with the attention at the Bernabéu, the attention of the game at the Lion King Stadium has obviously decreased. The chairman of Real Madrid did not come to watch the away game. Millwall also specially reserved the largest box for the Real Madrid management, maybe 3 The total score of :5 made Real Madrid executives reluctant to come to watch the game again. Maybe Florentino couldn't stand the suffering of watching the game with Arthur.

There are not many Real Madrid fans who come to watch the away game. Some of the tickets distributed to the away team are still circulating on the black market, and they have been snapped up by Millwall fans. The Lion King Stadium has completely turned into a blue ocean today. Horror The atmosphere at home is still the same, and there has been hustle and bustle since before the game. Huge portraits of star players fluttered in the stands, and even fan organizations specially drew a self-made Q-version banner.

That banner was highlighted by live cameras.

The content on the banner is simply a route map for the cartoon rpg game.

The cute little blue lion went all the way from the starting point, destroying the Portuguese dragon, the Apennine zebra, the Lisbon lion, and the German chariot along the way. Conquer the Star Moon Hell. Sweeping the Catalan army. And now stepping on the body of the white giant, the little blue lion has only one last stand left, above the name of Glasgow, there is a European Champions Cup.

Hehe, it seems that Millwall fans are already making suggestions for the club. Millwall has released a promotional video of qualifying for the Champions League final three times before. It is talked about, especially many children like it very much. Now Millwall fans To take the initiative to hand-paint Millwall's promotion process this season in the stands is really amazing!

This banner also bears the headline: Road to Champions Glasgow!

After Aldridge entered the stadium, he also found this ingenious banner on the stands, which made him smile knowingly. This is the fan culture, which is both contagious and publicity. The most important thing is that the fan organization that made the banner must have It is to make this banner with joy, and then share the happiness to other Wild Lions fans.

Aldrich went to shake hands with Bosque. After a few pleasantries, they walked back to the home team's coaching bench, in the current environment. It is not suitable for him to talk too much with Bosque, because Bosque's situation can be described as besieged on all sides.

It is almost impossible for Real Madrid to successfully defend their title in the league this season, and they suffered a major defeat in the first semi-final of the Champions League. There are even Spanish media who would describe it as a disgrace against Real Madrid. The newspapers were full of cynicism.

For such a major defeat, someone must take the responsibility, not to mention that Florentino himself does not like Bosque.

On the cusp of this crisis, Real Madrid's stars are all in danger, so naturally they can't stand up and say something fair for Bosque.

Players from both sides began to enter the field. The Real Madrid players had a sense of tragedy and death. Before the game started, many players frowned, which seemed weird to Aldrich.

It seems that they really want to create an anti-customer-oriented majestic aura, but when they step into the Lion King Stadium, their eyes are full of blue, and they are surrounded by tens of thousands of wild lion fans, their aura cannot be raised.

Millwall temporarily leads Real Madrid 5:3. Football games are full of unpredictable factors. Millwall has never had a defeat at the Lion King Stadium, but Real Madrid is the most capable team to rewrite this history. Therefore This game is still worth looking forward to, let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides.

Millwall has a heavyweight star unable to play in this game. Ronaldinho is absent due to injury. Now he is sitting in the VIP box with a serious look on his face. Surprisingly, Hall actually used Ronaldinho Neo's Brazilian compatriot, the young Kaka, will replace Ronaldinho. This is a major difference from many media's pre-match predictions that Klose will start.

Millwall started 442.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfield: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved, Kaka.

Forwards: Henry, Larsson.

Real Madrid's starting lineup for this game also had two personnel changes compared with the previous game. Pavon, who scored the lowest score in the last game, was put on the bench, replaced by Solari, and goalkeeper Card Silas probably also sat on the bench because he conceded 5 goals in the last game. He was replaced by the 31-year-old goalkeeper Cesar.

Real Madrid starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defenders: Salgado, Hierro, Elguera, Carlos.

Midfield: Solari, Makelele, Zidane, Figo.

Forwards: Raul, Morientes.

The two teams have changed from the previous start, and Millwall has even changed the formation. This may make the game unfold beyond our expectations. Next, let’s enjoy the super confrontation between the two giants. life and death!

Aldridge saw Real Madrid's starting list and pondered it carefully for a while.

It was predictable that Elguera retreated to play central defender and did not dare to trust Pavon any more.

It is not too unexpected that Solari is on the midfielder and is inclined to attack, which means that Real Madrid will fight to the death in the away game.

As for what effect Solari can bring, Aldrich suddenly remembered something.

In the original history, when Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid, it was at the peak of Barcelona's dominance over Europa. At that time, few people would argue who was stronger between Ronaldo and Messi, and even Real Madrid fans would say Say something like this: If Ronaldo's extraordinary performance can be half as efficient as Solari, then Ronaldo may challenge Messi in La Liga.

These remarks must be too one-sided, let’s not mention that the defensive pressure suffered by Solari and Ronaldo’s area of ​​activity is completely different, but Solari has never reached the height of Ronaldo’s reputation, so it is impossible for every opponent to focus on research and target. Secondly, Messi was indeed the king of the entire European football at that time, but passing is just a skill, and the best passing may not be the king, otherwise, how could Messi be alone in the national team? ?

However, these words can see the threat of Solari in the midfield area and some characteristics.

Aldridge was not too worried after thinking about it. If Solari can really catalyze the entire Real Madrid team, then Solari should be more famous. (to be continued..) ()
