The Young Lion

The 34th round of the 2002-2003 Premier League ended.

In the wild celebration of crazy lion fans, Millwall sent away the visiting magpies with 5 goals.

Manchester United beat violent Ben 3-1 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal defeated Middlesbrough with two goals on the riverside.

With four rounds left in the Premier League, Millwall is still ranked third in the standings, still 4 points away from the top two.

At the end of the game, Millwall continued the tradition of thanking the home fans. Compared with some routines in the past, after the game today, all players on the court felt heartily and spit out their hearts, all released.

All fans also believe that the haze over the Lion King Stadium will completely disappear!

Nesta held Southgate in his left hand and Alonso in his right, waving his arms to the fans on the sidelines to thank them.

He didn't realize that until the end of the game, Millwall really didn't change much. So far he still can't feel the substantive reforms of this team by Aldridge. Even Aldridge did not command on the sidelines.

But that's it. The feeling of kicking the game is very different from before.

The whole team is alive and well, and even he was able to immerse himself in the backcourt defense. The guard's job is often a heartbeat.

A moment of success, a momentary success or failure, will have a decisive impact on the overall trend of the game. Guards, like walking on the tightrope, outsiders can not experience the short-term thrilling, that walks at the critical point of victory and defeat, death and survival The excitement.

He played extremely happily in this game. In fact, there is no defender who does not make mistakes, and no defender is really a husband. When Guan Wanmo is open, world-class defenders like Nesta will also make mistakes, but today’s 90 Minutes, only to let his opponent rush in front of him for the first time, he turned around and saw Southgate's imminently strangling the other party's offensive in the final link, and the thrilled Nesta wanted to laugh in the sky.

And Newcastle United counterattacked some counterattacks. When Nesta turned and looked worriedly, he could see the German goalkeeper rushing to the edge of the penalty area without giving the opponent any chance. It seemed to be playing heartbeat, but always let the opponent see Hope, strangling hope with your own hands, this feeling, as if dominated and ruled, refreshing!

When leaving the Lion King Stadium, Nesta really began to have strong expectations for the future development of the crazy lion's career.

Aldrich left the club without an interview after the game. When he returned home, his two sons discussed Millwall's game happily, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was much more active.

Aldrich realized at this time that his life was caught in a paradoxical cycle of death.

He loves his son, but his son also loves Millwall. In the most common way, in order to please the two sons and make them happy, Audridge really wants to make Millwall better and always good...

Three days later, the Premier League Express.

Aldridge led the team still fighting at the Lion King Stadium.

On this day, he left Fleet Street speechless.

Perhaps many reporters have already insulted Aldridge a hundred times in secret!

Millwall swept Newcastle United with 5 goals, Fleet Street did not deal with Aldridge, and shamelessly credited this credit to Klinsmann!

It is said that this is Klinsmann’s legacy, the technical and tactical system left behind, and the tone of voice has changed, so it is inevitable to quibble about it.

So he began to throw out conspiracy theories.

This technical and tactical system is very strong, but the Millwall locker room has already planned to knock down Klinsmann's table, the team did not work, and wanted to force Aldridge to return!

Fleet Street is mixed with dragons and dragons. Anyway, this conspiracy theory is very popular. The controversy surrounding Millwall has not disappeared. Only the fans of the Lions don’t buy it. They think Fleet Street has always been shit.

And Fleet Street just praised the set of "Klinsmann's precious heritage", only three days later, when Millwall played at home against Middlesbrough, this "legacy" was sent to the grave by Aldridge .

When sending away the magpie, Millwall also completely sent off Klinsmann. Aldridge justified Klinsmann with his omissions in the competitive field in the early days of the return, regardless of whether the outside world can see, he does not care , His heart can be expressed.

So now, we must re-enter the era of Audridge.

"Today, Millwall’s starting lineup has changed significantly from before. The first one is the veteran Larson returning to the starting line! At the scene, when the master of ceremonies pronounced Larson’s name, the cheers and applause broke out on the scene like a wave of waves. There is no stopping trend, Millwall fans can never forget the hero king, he returned to the starter, returned to the fans' vision, Larson will also burn his energy for the crazy lion and contribute everything to him! One change is that Nedvide returned to the front waist position, Lampard was placed on the bench, the other two midfielders, Alonso continued to start, and he was accompanied by Italian De Rossi, which An Italian had a good performance and growth last season, but this season lacked performance opportunities. I only heard that he performed very well in the reserve league. He led the Millwall reserve team to lock the reserve league championship early, see In the construction of Sir Hall's new generation of mad lions, De Rossi, Alonso, Lampard and the three will compete fiercely in the midfield."

In fact, the real reform has not yet begun.

But one thing will not change, that is the philosophy.

The second generation of mad lions sweeping Europe relied on offensive, especially in the attacking group of four, led by Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, and Henry.

Since this is successful, you should continue to insist, even if Nedved and Larson are older, the tacit agreement over the next few years, and the richer experience, so that they will be trusted by Aldridge Players, especially Larson and Nedved, are known for their long career lives and good conditions at the end of their careers.

It should be noted that in 1998, Aldridge did not have to worry about the future of the position they occupied. Even if there was an injury, as long as it was not a serious injury, it was usually enough for someone to overdo it, but now, it can't think like this.

It’s now 03, and the more the state and energy of Nedved and Larson will go down, the number of games that can be persisted will not decrease significantly, but in order to improve the quality of the game, their playing time will be Year by year gradually and gradually declined.

Then, in their position, what is to be prepared is not a substitute for the usual emergency, but a crown prince who can succeed the next two or three years!

Larson's successor will undoubtedly be Ronaldo.

And Nedved's successor, Aldridge is now uncertain between Lampard and Kaka. The former B2B is more similar to Nedved, and the latter has a stronger offensive ability. To put it bluntly, it is a point for The balanced impact of the entire team system.

However, he is not in a hurry, and he still has time to investigate. Millwall's main force will ultimately need to compete for strength. Will it work? Look at the effect and look at the strength performance.

Middlesbrough is now ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. It has landed steadily and can't rush forward anymore. At the end of the season, the team's combat power has always been determined by its will to determine its strength. Middlesbrough lacks the will and is away. Fight, at the Lion King Stadium, surrender early in the first half.

In this game, Aldridge stood on the sidelines. There were not many games left this season. He did not plan to change the team at this time. He just returned the team to the second-generation mad lion system. This season, start reforming again.

He is mainly investigating the team's midfield and backcourt defense system today, and he is gratified that even though he has not played a few times for the first team this season, De Rossi's status has not been dropped, only compared to last season's The rate of progress has declined, but in the reserve team, it has long been the strength of the standing group.

He and Alonso partner, the future defensive hardness, will exceed the second-generation mad lion Gattuso and Pirlo combination, because Alonso itself is stronger than Pirlo's defensive ability.

Think about the development trend of football. The modern winger group is about to lead the way. The defensive barrier in front of the guard line will be higher. The animal waist will become more mainstream.

Millwall will continue to develop on the basis of the offensive frenzy in the past, and the hardness of the midfield defense will be higher than in the past.

When the game reached the 88th minute, Aldridge was already sitting on the coach's seat, the score was 3:0, Millwall won the game without suspense.

The loud singing on the stadium stands was suddenly interrupted, and a burst of ecstatic cheers erupted suddenly.

"2:2. The score between Manchester United and Arsenal became 2:2. If the final score doesn't change anymore, then Millwall will be only 2 points away from the top of the list! Only 2 points!"

Obviously the fans in the stands are also paying attention to the first battle between Manchester United and Arsenal.

No matter who wins or loses the two teams, with 3 rounds left in the league, Millwall is 4 points away, then Millwall basically has no possibility of catching up with the top of the list, but if it is 2 points, as long as In the last three games, Millwall won, and in three games between Manchester United and Arsenal, as long as there is one game that cannot be won, even if it is a draw, the final championship will be Millwall, because of the goal difference, Millwall has Very big advantage!

At the end of the game at Lion King Stadium, Aldridge turned directly into the player’s tunnel, while Millwall’s players stayed on the court, waiting for the final result from Highbury.

"Manchester United and Arsenal drew! Highbury's game ended, 2:2, the score will not change again!"

Fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium cheered, and Millwall players smiled.

Using the sour report on Fleet Street the next day: Is Millwall really creating another miracle?

Whether there will be a miracle, Aldridge does not know, and he does not have too many expectations, because destiny is not in his own hands, he only focuses on the current work.

The Europa League semi-finals struck as scheduled.
