The Young Lion

Chapter 904: Contrast

In the two European Cup qualifiers, England bluntly scored 11 goals, one goal without losing, the scene dominated, domineering, especially the seemingly crazy and chaotic team running, but always burst into infinite kills , And eventually tortured his opponent to death.

England led by Aldridge has a new look after the World Cup. Compared with the past, most of the time the team stayed in the backcourt and defended statically, waiting for the opponent to attack and then made a stop. Now England is extremely aggressive in attitude, so strong reversal, making England fans Happy and surprised.

Because England looks more fierce and passionate than the previous two years!

Even if you don't feel the slightest artistic breath, it is this rude and brutal courage that sparked the original power spark, which is most suitable for the fans of England!

After the game, Beckham smiled charmingly in an interview after the game. When asked by reporters about the state of the national team after the World Cup, he smiled and said: "Everything is perfect. We left Hall with all sincerity after the World Cup. Sir, this is definitely the most correct decision. Although our opponents are not strong in these two games, we can feel that England is becoming stronger than in the past."

"As the deputy captain of the England team, if you can decide, how long do you want Sir Hall to coach England?"

"Oh, fifty years, haha, that is definitely impossible, but I hope he can continue to coach the Three Lions before I bid farewell to the national team. He is the best coach in England and can lead England to create a Bimirwall A more glorious era."

"Between Sir Hall and Sir Alex Ferguson, who do you think is better?"

Beckham liked this reporter quite a bit. He suddenly heard this question, and immediately became dissatisfied with the reporter. The smile disappeared and shook his head: "You are too polite to ask, I am not qualified to evaluate the two great coaches. Goodbye. "

...

The two vegetable abuse games are not very convincing, but it is a necessary process for the new phase of England's hone and growth. Compared with climbing from the bottom of the ladder of the World Preliminaries two years ago, there is less pressure on the record. With more mental pressure from outside concerns, Aldridge feels that life is still easier, than at any time in the past eight years.

Because all official games in England are over this year, as long as a friendly is played next month, the European Cup qualifier will not be rekindled until next spring.

And this month he will also end the internal teaching at the Millwall training base. The life plan at the end of the year is to concentrate on staying in the family life circle.

In addition to praising the national team’s battle report on Fleet Street, rational ball critics have also fiercely debated the changes in England’s skills and tactics. Some people think that it is too risky, and some people think that the young master should take the initiative to change.

At the very least, Aldridge’s national team slaughtered the underdogs and won without difficulty, which has led to another problem: if Aldridge is still in Millwall, now Millwall’s league points, and the situation of the Champions League group What is it like?

...

Henry was injured. It seems that Klinsmann only sent Alonso to the field, then pushed Lampard to the front waist, and Ronaldinho returned to the left wing position. In fact, it was a change in the team’s technical and tactical system. Significant changes.

In the tenth round of the league, Millwall defeated the black cat Sunderland with a convincing 3:0.

After ten rounds, Millwall won 6 games, 3 draws and 1 loss, only 2 points away from the top Arsenal!

Arsenal's unbeaten record in the second half of last season and this season's fantasy start ended at Goodison Park.

This Arsenal defeat was described by Fleet Street as: a sniping mad lion.

Because the key player to end this wave of undefeated Arsenal, it was the English new golden boy who was loaned to Everton by Millwall: Wayne Rooney.

At this time, it is not so ugly to look at Millwall's league record. As long as it is not measured by the undefeated championship standard in the past, Millwall is still a hot topic for the championship group this season.

But in the Champions League in the middle of the week, Millwall staged a surprise story.

3: 2!

"Defending champion Millwall defeats Camp Nou! The unbeaten record of the UEFA Champions League is over!"

"With 2 points in 3 games, Millwall's hopes of reaching the top 16 are getting slimmer!"

The problem is still the old one.

Just after the FIFA match day, the weekend league became the main force, and the UEFA Champions League will be played in the middle of the week. Or away, Millwall’s players were completely out of control by the speed of Barcelona at the Camp Nou, from leading to being reversed, and then equalized After the score was scored, Millwall only played a good 30 minutes, and then the game was developing in a crazy and unpredictable direction.

It is an indisputable fact that Millwall’s dominance has declined.

Alonso could not replace Pirlo, Lampard could not match Nedved, Klose had not reached the level of Henry, not to mention the midfielder and the lower back and defender, Millwall even used the past The king-level operating system is advancing, but the decline in hard power is particularly evident in high-level confrontation.

However, Klinsmann was at least no longer confused about how the team should operate, and Larson, who performed extremely badly at the Camp Nou in the middle of the week, began to be abandoned by Klinsmann. Under the dual influence of the FIFA World Cup syndrome and FIFA virus, it is normal for the state to have a decline. In addition, Millwall has a dense schedule and the body is unable to bear the load. It is naturally impossible to maintain a high level of performance.

Klinsmann waited for Henry to come back. Before Henry came back, he chose to trust Ronaldo, the talented young man with strong energy and fighting desire.

New defeat in the Champions League in the middle of the week, the League of Legends at home against Everton on the weekend, but Millwall played a game with a shadow of 80% of the past. The 2:0 soldiers won Everton without a **** edge and lost to Blackburn at Arsenal. After two consecutive losing streak, he reached the top of the standings!

"Alonso is the button for Millwall to return to the top!"

When Alonso came up with a 93% pass success rate, 9 threatened passes, and 1 assist data, David Miller made no secret of his appreciation for him, thinking that in the post-Pirlo era, he can serve The character who organized the midfielder was none other than Alonso, but by no means Kramsman chose Lampard in the beginning.

The new season, which began in mid-August, quietly arrived in November. Unconsciously, the new season has begun for two and a half months.

Millwall returned to the top of the standings, but the UEFA Champions League group stage fell into a situation of survival.

When Klinsmann needed the team's ambition to break through from the Champions League death group, Millwall's locker room was undercurrent.

In order to prepare for the life-and-death battle with Barcelona in early November, Klinsmann sent a young squad in the League Cup and still passed easily, and then visited Anfield, Klinsman still sent a young squad, hoping to give the Champions League three days later Retaining more strength, as a result, Millwall was defeated by Owen at Anfield and regretted defeat. Arsenal temporarily took the top position.

When it came to the match day of the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Lion King Stadium was overwhelmed. All fans of the Lions knew that if this game could not win Barcelona, ​​Millwall would miss the top 16 with a high probability. In addition, the opponent is Barcelona, ​​the game is attractive enough.

Aldridge sat in the box waiting for the game to start.

Earl asked him curiously: "Dad, why is Barcelona so low in the league, but higher than Millwall in the Champions League?"

Aldrich thought for a long time and did not know how to explain this common situation.

Because football itself is irregular.

Van Gaal entered Barcelona for the second time in the summer. Rivaldo canceled the contract in advance and left. Riquelme, who was introduced by Barcelona, ​​was directly ignored by Van Gaal. Barcelona had a bad start in La Liga and a hard win.

If you don’t look at the Champions League and only compare the league, Millwall’s record is a few streets behind Barcelona, ​​but Klinsmann’s public pressure is much higher than Van Gaal. This is both normal and weird. Media energy is at work.

However, Barcelona's performance in the Champions League is very different from the league. In the first three rounds, they won 2 wins, 1 draw, wins Lance, draws AC Milan, and wins Millwall. How could his mother be a team in the league? What is the record of a team with a bad performance?

Millwall's technical and tactical system in this game has not changed, Klinsmann looked seriously at the sidelines, and Van Gaal sat on the coach seat calmly.

When Ronaldo broke through the bottom five minutes after the start of the game, and assisted Klose to open the first record, the whole Lion King stadium was boiling!

Van Gaal's face was ugly, and he was surprised by the fast-moving Portuguese kid who didn't expect Millwall to send Cristiano Ronaldo, or that Cristiano Ronaldo should have no threat from his age. Barcelona players also despised, but gave Ronaldo space to play.

Klinsmann's face flushed with excitement, he was under great pressure to reuse Ronaldo, and now Ronaldo can return to him with good performance, it can also relieve the pressure on his shoulders.

In the last game at Camp Nou, Millwall was in poor condition, but today at Lion King Stadium, most of the main players took a rest for nearly 10 days, and there were advantages at home, plus Alonso’s stable performance in the midfield organization. Millwall's entire offensive and defensive system is running smoothly, keeping the game in a fast pace, repeatedly hitting Barcelona's defense line, and eventually destroying it completely.

In the 31st minute, Ronaldinho alone attracted three opponents on the left and passed the ball to the rear point. Unattended Cristiano Ronaldo pushed the half-air goal to expand the score to 2:0.

Before the end of the first half, Millwall cornered the attack, Ronaldinho directly drove the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area, which made the Barcelona defense unprepared, and a beautiful volley volley was played in the outer Lampard. The world wave shocked the eyeball. , Millwall led Barcelona 3:0 in the first half!

The fans of the home team of Lion King Stadium raised their eyebrows, feeling that the team played well today, and their opponents have no power to parry.

In the second half, Barcelona intended to counterattack the main goal, but unexpectedly, Millwall counterattacked at the beginning of the game and went to the next city. Ronaldinho scored this time.

With four goals in hand and Millwall winning the ticket, Klinsmann finally took a breath and let the team slow down the rhythm, saving energy.

Barcelona scored only one goal in the final stage and could not save the fiasco.

"The defending champion Millwall finally ushered in a victory in the UEFA Champions League group stage. They defeated Barcelona 4 to 1. However, unfortunately, after the fourth game, AC Milan won the first place in the group with 8 points. 7 points ranked second in the group, Millwall four wins, 1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss, 5 points ranked third in the group, the next round at home against Lance is still a life and death battle, when AC Milan will start with Barcelona Fighting, Millwall wants to break through from this group, they must win Lance in the next game, and in the final round, they will be going to San Siro to challenge AC Milan!"

At the end of the game, Aldridge applauded the team like all home team fans.

Today's game is more convincing. As long as Millwall's team has no physical problems and the offensive and defensive system is running smoothly, with the strength of this group of players, it can still be maintained at the height that a giant should deserve.
