At this time, European football is well-known, and there are three teams with a clear gap with other teams, Millwall, Milan, and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's galactic battleship is famous all over the world, relying on individual superstars to pile up one after another.

As for Millwall and Milan, there are many superstars in the team, and at the same time, they also have a competitive record to drive their fame. Milan has a rich background, and Millwall has laid a super popular foundation for several years in a row.

So no matter who these three teams meet, it will spark exciting expectations.

The European Super Cup is indeed tasteless, but today's game, the attention received, the pursuit of the game broadcaster, and the prize money of the game have increased by 30% compared to last year. Even if the loser this year, the prize money won by the champion is similar to last year.

The coaches of both sides stood still on the sidelines, the players of both sides stepped into the stadium with their heads held high and their chests held high, and the commentators enthusiastically introduced the lineups of both sides.

Milan, champions of last season's Champions League, fielded their strongest squad today.

Goalkeeper: Dida.

Defenders: Cafu, Costacurta, Maldini, Karadze.

Midfield: Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo, Rui Costa.

Forwards: Inzaghi, Shevchenko.

Last season's UEFA Cup champion Millwall also sent their strongest lineup today.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Guard: Schneider. Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.

Midfielder: De Rossi. Alonso, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Henry, Ronaldinho.

There is no doubt that this is a star-studded peak duel! It is a game that will be called a legend vs. a legend after more than ten years of aftertaste! The coaches of the two teams did not disappoint fans all over the world, they did not take the UEFA Super Cup lightly, we hope that in the game. Both parties should not be conservative, and try their best to dedicate an open and passionate football feast to the fans!

If Aldridge can hear the commentator's commentary.

He must be laughing.

Why wait more than ten years?

please!

Everything in Milan is perfect, but there is one flaw that cannot be reversed by manpower: age!

Cafu is 33.

Maldini is 35.

Costacurta is 37.

On the defensive line, only Kaladze was at the age of 25.

Such a comparison. The three pillars of Millwall, Southgate, Larson, and Nedved are just in their early 30s, and the oldest Southgate will be 33 years old in a week, which is nothing.

Moreover, the more world-class players become legends, as long as they don't plummet all of a sudden, it is easy for people to ignore his age, as is the case with Maldini. 99% of the time, you will ignore his age, let alone two or three years. He is still fighting in the top arena in Europe, which is definitely an awe-inspiring legend!

Of course, it is also related to his position and Milan's future team building strategy. If you change to a midfielder or a striker, you want to be in the top European arena at the age of 40, and have a place in the Champions League. Isn't this fucking a dream?

In the VIP box, Galliani kept his eyes on one of Millwall's players.

Nesta!

Saw Nesta in a Millwall jersey. Galliani sighed.

If it wasn't for Millwall's interference last year, he wouldn't have to worry about the team's back line now. Laurson and Pancaro on the bench, why do people feel unreliable?

The battle began on the pitch. After Henry kicked off, the atmosphere in the pitch was extremely hot. Not only were the fans from both sides waving their flags, but many French fans from Monaco also came to the scene to cheer for their favorite teams or players.

In this Super Cup, Aldridge said that he was weak, but in fact he was really weak. He would not fight Milan for the championship trophy. What he cared about was such a strong opponent as Milan, which is a good whetstone!

The most important thing is to hone the defense. In terms of offense, just like they faced Chelsea, as long as the game is open instead of the opponent's dull defense, then at least Millwall will not encounter too much difficulty on the offensive end.

The defense line with an average age of over 33 years old, if it is an ordinary impact, it must still be difficult to shake. After all, Costacurta and Maldini are witnesses and participants of the Milan dynasty. , old and strong.

However, since Millwall is a representative of offensive football, their offense is destined to be unique. As long as the opponent does not put a bus and give them space so that they can use the space to combine with the team, Aldridge believes that they are invincible.

At the beginning of the game, Millwall hadn't made any effort yet, so he played two waves of tentative attacks, one from Nedved's long shot, and one when Henry received the ball in the penalty area and was intercepted by Maldini, and returned without success .

Milan, on the other hand, relied on strong midfield control to destroy Millwall like a cocoon.

When Millwall is not fully committed to attacking, they will not give their opponents obvious offensive space, positional defense, Millwall is not a big problem, although the double midfielder is still growing, but with Nedved's Retracement, after all, increases the fault tolerance rate.

After 5 minutes of the game, Millwall's offensive broke out violently!

Ronaldinho and Larson's offensive starting positions have retreated a bit compared to those in the league. This is an active change made by Aldridge after he suffered two consecutive draws in the league. Compared with Pirlo's perfect scheduling from the front and back, now The team needs to take the initiative to create an offensive space. The winger is in the front, which is equivalent to compressing the space, retreating to the back, and pretending to attack after getting the ball.

Millwall's offensive routine of attacking the wing this season happened to catch Milan by surprise, especially Gattuso, who can't run to death!

Pirlo's defense is unreliable. He wants to escort, and most of the time he has to sit in the middle. Now Nedved is watching. Naturally, he can't easily help defend the wing, while Seedorf and Rui Costa. Defensive ability is really limited. Millwall's main winger made Gattuso uncomfortable, and what he didn't expect was: Millwall just walked the sidewalk and didn't look back!

In the 6th minute, Schneider made a two-to-one with Nedved before crossing the center line. After rushing past Rui Costa's defense, Gattuso and Pirlo were both wary of Nedved's running position. Waiting for Nedved in the middle to respond to the combination of side and center to penetrate.

However, Schneider and Larson kept a distance of about five meters and moved forward. In front of Karazze, there was a two-for-one staggered movement. Schneider came to the front right of the penalty area. Gattuso went to help defend at this time, it was too late!

Schneider made a half-high pass. The outer arc goes around the back of the defender, and the crossing route is behind the defender and in front of the goalkeeper, exactly in the middle area. Dida dare not attack rashly, but can only watch the ball fly to the back of the penalty area, and he moves over to make a save.

Costacurta thought that he had stared at Ronaldinho and would not give Ronaldinho a chance to grab points, but he couldn't believe it. Behind Ronaldinho, a figure rushed out quickly, galloping towards the top corner on the left side of the small restricted area!

Ashley Cole hits the ball. He kicked a flaw!

However, after the ball bounced off the ground, it still flew into Milan's goal. Dida wanted to cry, but he flew to save the ball at the same height as Ashley Cole's kicking position. If the opponent's shooting skills are superb, the ball is pushed half high. Dida has an 80% chance of making a successful save, but the kick happened to be flawed. After the ball bounced off the ground, it bounced right above Dida's body and into the goal!

Millwall took the lead! Unbelievable, it was Schneider who assisted Ashley Cole to score! The full-back assisted the full-back!

Ancelotti looked straight.

This, this, this!

Aldrich, are you kidding me or are you really desperate?

The full-back assisted the full-back and scored, and it was still a 3-forward. Are you going to be the second Bielsa?

Attack or die?

Turning his head to look at Aldrich, the young marshal applauded calmly.

Ancelotti loosened his tie and looked cold.

He is a good guy, basically he will not scold the players on the field, even when Juventus is very useless, he will give people a look of being depressed, so as long as he keeps a straight face, he is expressing dissatisfaction and needs players cheer up!

Cafu also felt that Ronaldinho was stared at, and basically there was no threat, but he didn't expect Ashley Cole to enter the penalty area like the wind, which was really unexpected.

This Milan team has both the legacy of the previous generation and the baptism of the Champions League title last season. It will not be stunned by a single goal.

They hold the ball more patiently and control the game steadily, but the situation encountered is similar to when they met Millwall in the Champions League last season.

In a real positional battle, Milan may not have a particularly large advantage.

On the other hand, Millwall seized the opportunity and rushed from the two wings, rushed forward desperately, directly pushed the attack from the wing to the parallel position of the opponent's penalty area, and then made a little cooperation to turn into the penalty area to create a threat.

With the lesson of conceding the ball, Milan's group of mature guys will not be easily penetrated by Millwall again.

On the contrary, Pirlo has figured out Millwall's attitude today, and he does not play the trick of boiling frogs in warm water with Seedorf Rui Costa. It is unrealistic to want to consume Millwall bit by bit.

Now that Millwall's fast-paced wing storm is playing brilliantly, they follow the trend. In terms of offensive and defensive transitions, Milan has three master midfielders who can launch deadly attacks from a long distance. Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa.

They never thought of playing like this, but Millwall's crazy side attack made their backcourt more obvious. If Milan organizes the attack slowly, isn't this a godsend opportunity slipping away?

In the 16th minute, Costacurta blocked Ashley Cole's penetrating through ball to Ronaldinho after covering the edge, and went straight forward. Pirlo led the ball and turned around. The moment he raised his head, he made a straight pass It was handed over to Rui Costa, who ran forward just after halftime, and the latter was even more amazing. He stopped the ball, observed, and released the ball in 1 second.

The ball passed between Alonso and De Rossi, and then rolled directly to Southgate's left side. Southgate was unable to form an interception of the ball. Rui Costa's master-level penetration The through pass is simply amazing. Shevchenko touched the ball while cutting inside the penalty area from the outside. Southgate thought that the opponent would really cut inside, so he turned his center of gravity inward. Unexpectedly, Shevchenko made a sudden move. A change of direction, obviously already entered the penalty area, but dribbled the ball towards the bottom line!

The Ukrainian nuclear warhead threw Southgate away, but his shot angle was already very small. I thought he would pass it to Inzaghi, but he forced it himself!

A powerful shot hit Bout, yes, Bout blocked the near corner of the goal, and the ball, within the range of the goal, flew towards Bout.

But this ball is too fast!

It was as if a nuclear warhead had exploded, and the distance was so close, Bout subconsciously blocked the ball, only to see the ball rebounded in the penalty area. Nesta had been staring at Inzaghi, but when Shevchenko shot, it was just like that for a split second. Distraction, focus on the result of this shot, let Inzaghi get out of the way.

God knows what happened to Inzaghi, he seemed to be able to foresee the future, and he flashed out of the empty position, which happened to be where the ball bounced off. Inzaghi poked the ball with his toe, and the ball flew back to Millwall's gate , Bout powerless.

Milan quickly equalized the score! From Milan's successful defense, Pirlo instigated the attack from the backcourt, Rui Costa passed through Millwall's midfielder area, Shevchenko changed direction to get rid of Southgate and shot from the bottom, It was lightning fast, and Inzaghi's follow-up shot didn't put Milan's efforts in vain this time, they played like European champions and quickly responded to Millwall!

Ancelotti clenched his fists and shouted wildly, while Aldridge gestured towards De Rossi and Alonso on the field, meaning to pay attention to blocking the opponent's passing line as much as possible when the defense is far away.

However, Aldridge felt that it was far-fetched. Millwall's offensive system has a lot of defensive space in the backcourt, the opponent's forward moves flexibly, and he has a master passer. It is reasonable to be penetrated, but for the players, it should be You have to have higher requirements, you can't accept your fate! (to be continued) ()
