The Young Lion

After Nedved scored a goal, he was picked up by Ferdinand next to him. He raised his fist with one hand, and he tasted the title of a champion. He was like a drug addiction, victory, championship, honor, never satisfied!

Dynamo Kiev players are slightly discouraged.

The strength gap is a bit big.

The opponent's offense depends on five people. Behind them, Makelele, Zambrotta, and Schneider only responded and did not overwhelm. After their defensive success, the counterattack could not be reached. Rebrov was from beginning to end. The body is cold...

The one-on-one defense is completely irresistible. It must be defended by teammates, but it is suddenly broken by the opponent. In anxiety, he can only take fouls. The opponent continuously positions the ball to attack. Dynamo Kiev only lost a ball. .

Two goals fell behind, what should I do next?

Lobanovsky’s instructions remained unchanged, and he defended his counterattack.

Not to mention that there are only five or six minutes left in the game, Lobanovsky knows that if the team presses up to attack, they may lose the ball within a few minutes.

However, this second goal drop was too bad for morale. The situation is completely different. They have to score at least two goals to return to home to hope to advance. Once the opponent scores one, they will score four!

Aldridge sat back, leading by two goals, indeed stable.

One advantage of this tactic is that he does not need frequent on-the-spot adjustments.

The team's offense and defense are balanced, and under the premise that the offensive power is huge, if the defense encounters an offensive attack by the other party, in other words, turning around and turning back, Millwall can be destroyed.

Therefore, he does not need to adjust, so that the opponent should attack, and the opponent wants to attack. He welcomes with both hands. Even if the opponent also poses a balanced attitude of attack and defense, Millwall will occupy a greater offensive advantage and be crushed by hard power!

Dynamo Kyiv was really suffocated. After two goals behind, they still played anti-reverse. In the last few minutes of the game, Millwall did not create a very good chance, and the score did not change.

"At the end of the game, the first round of the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup, defending champion Millwall defeated Dynamo Kyiv 2-0 at Wembley and achieved the advancement opportunity. The second round of the game seems to be suspenseful. Big, according to Millwall's current state, they have a very high probability of advancing to the semifinals. We will wait and see how far Millwall, who is called by the British media as Hall's second-generation mad lion, will go in the Champions League this year. "

Aldrich and Lobanovsky shook hands with each other, and left without talking.

In the post-match press conference, Lobanovski was criticized by many European media for being too conservative.

In the eyes of many people, the loss of Dynamo Kiev is normal, but the key is to lose some.

Lobanovski was quite honored and disgraced at this age.

He calmly stated that there is a clear gap between the strengths of the two teams, which is beyond doubt, but back in Kiev, he is confident that the team will score at least two goals.

When Aldridge was asked about Lobanovski’s excuse for failure at the press conference, he said frankly: "There is indeed a gap between the players of the two teams, Millwall is stronger on paper, we deserve to win, in fact the game Dynamo in Kiev has caused us a lot of trouble. If it is not the final stage to expand the score through the positioning ball, maybe we will not go to Kiev with an advantage."

The reporters were depressed.

Why is this young handsome low-key?

I can't imagine how he would look if he lost the ball.

Aldridge just felt awkward in his position.

He has a good deck, played well, won, and won, but if he loses, it is really inferior.

Therefore, winning is not triumphant, the fact is that his players are more capable, and his personal ability has become a decisive factor in the game.

"Guest Dynamo Kyiv in the second round, Millwall leads with two goals, what kind of tactics will be taken? As long as you score an away goal, it will kill the game."

"I don’t think Millwall can easily score a goal at Dynamo Kiev. You should know that it is still March. The temperature in Kiev at night is likely to be zero. The players will play away. The weather and the adverse factors of the venue will be serious. It will affect our performance. At that time, I will observe the team status and choose the most suitable tactics to face the game."

...

On the afternoon of the next day, the players returned to the training ground for restorative training. The training content was relatively easy, and Audridge reviewed the game with them, summarizing and analyzing.

Players often have a coach's disgusting mentality, that is, after winning the ball, they think that their performance is impeccable. Emotionally, they should really not be criticized by criticism, but in fact, Aldridge must let them recognize the reality.

"Dynamo Kyiv restricted our play through intensive defense. One-on-one we are stronger, forcing the opponent to have 2 defenses 1 and 3 defenses 2. Let's assume that we meet a top defensive team, your pair If you don’t have an overwhelming advantage, will you still get so many opportunities? Can you still dominate the game?"

Aldridge's words made the players look at each other, he also made Makelele and Gattuso demonstrating defense for Henry.

Makelele defends Henry one-on-one. Gattuso does not need to approach Henry. As long as he stands in the area, Henry one-on-one fails and Gattuso can immediately spur a counterattack.

"A large number of people in the defensive area does not mean that it will weaken the offense. On the contrary, it makes the forward movement of the offense more unpredictable and difficult to mark. We must continue to improve the team's ability to cooperate in a small area and increase the running range. Change your role flexibly in the game. Otherwise, when you encounter a top defensive team, especially a team with excellent one-on-one defense, not only will our offense be contained, but when we are counterattacked, we will also double the pressure on the back line."

The players nodded with serious expressions, especially the attack group of five. Although it is also a means to create a positioning ball attack through their personal abilities, they are even more yearning for the mercury warfare positional battle to cooperate with the attack. Once that attack is played, and In the end, he scored a goal and his personal sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.

After a Champions League battle in the middle of the week, Aldridge sent to the bench for the weekend league.

At the Lion's Cave Stadium, Millwall's bench lineup 4-0 victory over the West Magpie Newcastle United.

When Van Nistelrooy staged a senior in the last minute of the game, the audience applauded, and the commentator was excited to cry for him.

"Fannistrui! He scored the fourth goal of the game, senior fourth! Senior fourth! Is he announcing his existence to Hall? When Henry was healed he squeezed away His main position, I am afraid he has been asking why?! He can also score goals, can score a lot of goals! Unbelievable, really incredible, Van Nistelrooy, who has scored 16 goals in the league, is in the shooter No. 1 on the list! Hasselbaink, Irving, and York behind them all scored at least 2 goals less than him! But Van Nistelrooy couldn't actually start the striker at Millwall! Hall, Is this your happy trouble?"

Aldridge has a headache, really a headache.

It is not that Van Nistelrooy is not good enough, nor that he cannot score.

However, the head coach is to manage a team, not a certain player, not to see whether the player in a certain position is playing well.

The outside world saw that Van Nistelrooy's personal goals were very high, but the statistics within the club showed that Van Nistelrooy + Ronaldinho + Nedvide + another winger's offensive quadruple in the first half The performance of the season was not stable enough, and in the new attack group, except for Pirlo, the other four were completely activated. Perhaps the number of personal goals is not as good as Fanny, but the total number of goals they added is far more than In the half-season attack group, the average goal can reach 3 goals per game, much higher than the average of 1.8 in the first half of the season!

Aldridge needs players to be able to achieve an effect of 1 + 1 greater than 2, using Fanny, that is, others serve him.

Even Klose was sacrificed, covering Fanny and making the ball.

It was at this time that Manchester United suddenly sent an inquiry asking Fanny about the possibility of transfer.

Ferguson appreciates that Fanny is not a day or two away, but he was completely dead before the season. He and everyone in the world have basically the same view: Fanny is about to take the position!

But I didn't expect the situation to change before the end of a season.

Aldrich likes to use Henry instead of Fanny. Ferguson understands that, in his view, Henry's playing center makes Millwall's offense rich and flexible and powerful. This is a problem of Millwall's tactical system.

On the contrary, Ferguson believes that Fanny is very consistent with Manchester United's tactical system.

Fanny needs someone to do the ball, someone to cover, Manchester United's wings flying together, plus Scholes behind, the double forwards on the front line can pass and shoot, is the need for Fanny's ability to seize the opportunity.

Fanny was also very emotional after hearing the news that Manchester United was interested in him.

It seems that the Dutch who were suffering together with Tony in the youth team have to follow Tony's trajectory.

He was really sad, but he couldn't raise his anger.

Millwall's new attack group is unmatched. The game not only played wonderfully and beautifully, but also scored a lot of goals. When he played with Ronald Verde Jr. in the first half of the season, he could not play this effect.

He also knows the characteristics of his football. His talents influence the direction of development, and he cannot change into Henry's.

Manchester United's mature wings are flying together, Beckham passes right, Giggs can pass on the left, Scholes is centrally dispatched, and they each deliver firepower to the forward, which is very suitable for him to play.

Ferguson even came to London to interview Aldridge in order to get the 23-year-old Fanny in the summer.

Now the situation is different from before. As long as Manchester United let out the wind and do work in private, digging people from Millwall is basically safe, like Solskjaer, Stam, not all are digging from Millwall. Is it?

But now, if Millwall sells people or not, it depends on Aldridge not letting go. If he is determined to leave a player, Manchester United may not be able to win the bill even if he smashes money. If you want to prevent players from going to Manchester United, it is still based on team building.

Manchester United wants Millwall players. Millwall first considers whether this player is indispensable to the team.

Fanny, now look at the kind of players that are really indispensable.

At least on the front line of Aldridge, Henry, Ronaldinho, and Larson are unlikely to transfer in the summer of 1999. Ronaldinho and Larson are loyal. Henry has just arrived and he has three months to recover from injury. Let go after five months?

Aldridge had an open and open conversation with Ferguson.

He clearly informed the opponent that Fanny is not a non-sale product, but the team will need him to play off the bench.

If Manchester United can promise Fanny's main position, Fanny will definitely be seduce away and stay in the team in a contradictory situation, Aldridge does not want to see it, then, it depends on the attitude of Manchester United.

Ferguson feels tricky again. Manchester United's strike line, the black wind and the double wind have just begun to show great power. It is impossible for him to introduce Fanny to defeat York or Cole. Liang, after all, Fanny is young.

After learning that Manchester United could not make the main position promise, Fanny temporarily suppressed the transfer idea.

Go to Manchester United to play the bench?

It might as well stay at Millwall as a substitute, at least the value will not fall.
