The Young Lion

Millwall officially set sail for the new season.

After winning in the first round at Stamford Bridge, they drew Leicester City and Blackburn at home and away respectively, and Aldridge's concerns soon came to mind.

Leicester City's 0 field goal data, plus the last minute was sent off, tragic efforts, harvested a point that made them ecstatic.

In the game of visiting Blackburn, Millwall drew Blackburn accurately.

Due to playing the European Super Cup three days later, on the road, Aldridge boldly rotated. As a result, Boom Boom, Blackburn scored two goals in the first half, just tied the score in the second half and was led again by the other party until In the 87th minute, Ronaldo's goal tied the score.

Aldridge realized some bitterness of "blaming himself".

Beginning last season, the Premier League team attacked Millwall. In the past, anti-anti-players used 4321. The effect is okay. This season, needless to say, they continue to use this set of roads. This tactic is designed by the national team. At the beginning, it was necessary to play the most efficient anti-reverse, and it was simple and rude, stealing the ball, counterattack, two or three players in the frontcourt simply passed, making full use of the air, efficient and decisive, the Premier League team learned to use it, and in turn dealt Millwall, especially this season's Millwall, when they strengthened the offensive offense and the midfield defense was also rebuilding, they became the best target, Blackburn's tough style of the game, counterattack It's true that the threat of blood was clear at a glance.

Millwall is paying the price of growth, hone De Rossi and Alonso, let them withstand all kinds of tests, it is inevitable that the unbearable game will happen, all this, Aldridge has psychological expectations.

The technical and tactical changes of the third-generation mad lion have also attracted the attention of Fleet Street.

A game is not representative, but if Aldridge will stick to a tracked tactic for three consecutive games, then it means that Millwall is undergoing obvious changes.

David Miller vigorously "criticized" Aldridge's apostasy on his writing.

"Sir Hall has not only abandoned the English tradition of 442, but also swept up a 433 that swept Europe in England. Now, he has begun to build a disruptive 244 formation! Yes, I watched the recent Millwall game, if you On the spot, you will find that Millwall’s formation is often arranged like this: 1 goalkeeper, 2 guards, 4 midfielders, 4 forwards. If you compare with the 433 on the starting screen, what is the change? ?Two full-backs! One top midfielder, one top striker, two full-backs will switch freely. This has changed in detail from Millwall's previous 433. In the past, Millwall actually played It is a 334 formation, 3 defenders, 3 midfielders, 4 forwards. The change is defending with a full-back, and a full-back defends the midfielder. Nedved, originally a midfielder, is actually a shadow forward. Regardless of the changes in Millwall’s main routine today, Sir Hall’s courage is admirable. I think that if other England coaches dare to line up in this way, it will attract countless criticisms. If foreign coaches do this, they will When he succeeded, he was evaluated as a tactical genius, only Sir Hall. When he does this now, we will look forward to it: Will this form a new trend? But I need to remind Sir Hall that this 244, There is no problem with Nesta in the defender. If Nesta cannot face such a challenging task, then there will be no defender on the planet that can give Sir Hall confidence, but another defender, Southgate In particular, the great captain of England, who has been recorded in history, will celebrate his 33rd birthday next week."

...

Aldridge led his team to Monaco, preparing to compete with AC Milan for the top of the European Cup and compete for the honor of the king of the cup.

Originally, Millwall's achievements last season had a huge gap compared to the previous season, and it was a good time for many opponents to laugh at and fall into the trap.

But I didn't think about it. The new season has only just begun. Millwall still appears in the team that attracts European attention!

00, 01, 02, 03, this is Millwall's fourth consecutive year in the European Super Cup!

The previous three times as the Champions League champion, today as the UEFA Cup champion, the UEFA Cup certainly has nothing to show off, but it can be maddening, even if they are down, their exposure is still the focus of attention in Europe.

“It’s exciting to play against Carlo, AC Milan won the Champions League last season and is able to play against the powerful AC Milan, which is what Millwall expects. We never fear strong enemies. The stronger the enemy, the more excited we are , There are reservations in the league, also for tomorrow's game! We look forward to sending the most exciting game to fans all over the world, and then Millwall will take home the championship trophy."

When Monaco attended the UEFA press conference, Audric opened the special rules in his opening words, complimenting his opponents, but the last sentence made the Italian journalists on the scene angry.

After listening to the remarks of the young master of the handsome young man, everyone nodded frequently, and felt that the young master was going to play low-key, but in the end, he naturally said that he would go home with the championship trophy, and everyone didn't react.

You are the UEFA Cup champions, not the **** Champions League champions of the past few years!

For Millwall's Champions League group out last season, the media will render revenge, the first revenge target is AC Milan, who let AC Milan take the Champions League? The second revenge target is Barcelona, ​​with two places in the group stage, and Barcelona also has one.

Regarding this, Aldridge calmly shook his head and replied: "No, there is no hatred. If you say this, this account is difficult to calculate, because I seem to remember the history of Millwall vs. Barcelona and AC Milan. Millwall should have an absolute advantage. According to your theory, should Millwall vengeance? Or was he vengeance last season?"

Interpreting Millwall from another perspective, they have a very strong advantage: the record of engagement with foreign teams!

They will not be like a certain strong team, they will open the record of the game. Maybe they have had a "history of grievances" with anyone more than ten years ago. Millwall only officially started "diplomacy" in the era of Aldrich, so everyone can A foreign team that has caused them pain, to look through the history of these years, to sum up, Millwall is absolutely not qualified to mention the word "revenge"!

Aldridge was also reluctant to put Millwall in a tragic and angry position following the trend of the media.

He paid tribute to Ancelotti, and Ancelotti, who was proud of the spring breeze, also expressed respect and expectation to him.

The two coaches who sat together in 1997 to talk about the superiority of the European war. After 6 years, they finally finally confronted each other in the green field to compete for a chicken championship...

The following day, the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

Aldrich and Ancelotti met on the sidelines, the two did not shake hands, they hugged directly.

When he coached Juventus, Ancelotti was the second-best player in the league. The European war was a terrible record, but in AC Milan, he ushered in the spring.

After Aldridge embraced him, he smiled and asked, "Do you want to abuse me today?"

Ancelotti laughed, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "You have 4 Champions Leagues, 5 European Super Cups, no, still 4, last year's Klinsmann, you said, I want to win you ?"

"What if I won? A European Super Cup is not a league champion or a Champions League champion, how? No more agreement? Let's meet in Germany next May?"

Ancelotti seemed to be frightened, quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I will never make such an agreement with anyone again, it's unlucky!"

After thinking about it for a moment, Aldridge suddenly realized, and he laughed: "Carlo, you are too disappointing me! How I hope that today is the Champions League final, that is interesting!"

Ancelotti did not dare to agree with Aldridge. He really was not afraid of Millwall. Last season's group stage pushed Millwall out of the game. He led AC Milan to finally win the throne. What is there to be afraid of?

However, he felt that it was really unlucky to make such an agreement in advance and put it on him.

At that time, he, Aldridge, Tigana, three agreed to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League, three young commanders pointing Jiangshan, how pretentious?

The results of it?

Aldridge and Tigana played the pinnacle in the Champions League semi-finals. His Palma, sorry, returned home after the group stage!

Later, in 1999, he and Audridge agreed to see Nou Camp.

Well, Mildridge of Aldridge is thin.

The Juventus he led was originally in a good situation. He also lamented that Aldridge had missed the appointment, but the result was unimaginable. Manchester United came to the field to reverse, and Juventus was blocked from the final!

Let Ancelotti make an appointment with Audridge again today. He dare not let him call AC Milan to defend the Champions League, but he will never agree with Audridge to meet AC Milan and Millwall next year. Arrogantly went to Schalke Stadium.

"There is a chance, there is a chance, one day, we will have a good match in the Champions League final. Although I may not be able to do three consecutive Champions League championships like you, I believe I can surpass you in the number of Champions League wins!"

Ancelotti said so.

Aldridge spread his hands and grinned: "Originally, I will agree with you, but now the situation has changed, Karlo, you have no chance to do this! Because I am here, coach in Millwall The location."

Ancelotti smiled slightly: "It's because you are back, so it makes more sense if I have more champions than you! Aldrich, everyone says that contemporary football is your time, no no no no, I don’t admit it!"

"Ha ha ha ha, Karlo, that's right! Take out all the abilities and see if you are crying to admit it, or if I am beaten by you like a funeral dog! Today, it's time to warm up."

Aldrich said nothing, and embraced with Ancelotti. The two patted each other's backs, then released their hands at the same time, stepped back, gazed at each other for three seconds, turned to the coach seat, silent Smile.

Before the game started, the two coaches were "opposite", not only them, but also the players on both sides of the player channel.

When Ronaldinho set his sights on Pirlo and Gattuso, Gattuso couldn't help but stared at Ronaldinho: "Look at me? I won't admit that I got 5 Champions Leagues, you have to watch, Just look at him alone!"

He shoved Pirlo and sold his good friend unexpectedly.

Pirlo was still as elegant as before, and he smiled lightly at Millwall.

"Fuck, Pavel, they still have 5 Super Cups. Do you have them? You only have 4, Haha, you only have 4."

Ronaldinho whistled.

Pirlo coughed softly and said lightly: "In two hours, I will have the fifth Super Cup trophy."

"Ah! Who gave you confidence?"

"I!"

Gattuso stood up directly, staring at Ronaldinho "severely", and warned: "You'd better not be near the restricted area, otherwise, hehe."

Ronaldinho looked away, not thinking: "Some people said the same last season, and they didn't do it in the game."

"I have 5 Champions Leagues!"

"Grass, didn't you not admit it just now? In 1998 and 2000, were you embarrassed to admit these two Champions Leagues? I am embarrassed to say that the 1998 Champions League has my share, right? Andrea?"

Shevchenko smiled bitterly at the front of the team and looked at Ronaldinho. Without answering, Maldini, who was standing in front of him, seemed to want to show his teammates.

Gattuso blushed old, and pushed Pirlo out again...
