The Young Lion

When the FA Cup lottery results came out, most fans complained about the FA.

In the FA Cup semi-finals, Millwall and Manchester United met.

Everyone hopes that the two will meet in the finals. If the Champions League has better luck, maybe Millwall will compete with Manchester United on the third line!

What an exciting script this will be!

The third-tier championship was a bit far away, and Millwall fell off the chain in the 31st round.

In Vera Park, Millwall faced Aston Villa, who was determined to get tickets for the European War, and the result was a tie.

Surprisingly, Manchester United tied Wimbledon away, Arsenal also tied Southampton away. Only Chelsea beat Charlton in the first four teams and re-entered the championship.

With 7 rounds left in the league, Millwall leads Manchester United by 4 points and Arsenal and Chelsea by 6 points. For the rest of the schedule, Millwall wants to talk directly to Chelsea and Arsenal. It is still unknown who will kill Deer.

There is no problem with the depth of the bench. Aldridge has no trouble facing the continuous battle platoon formation. Before going to Kiev, he attended the press conference and announced the 18-person roster.

Media reporters all over Europe who followed Millwall were stunned.

Giancarlo asked everyone's voice.

"Will Millwall take the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals and bring two strikers?"

Aldridge nodded and said, "Yes, I think it's enough. Larson started and Henry came off the bench."

The reporters had the final say, two goalkeepers, seven guards, two forwards, and seven midfielders left.

A closer look at the enrollment list, everyone guessed Aldridge's plan.

This Nima is going to swing the bus!

Makelele, Gattuso, Pedretti, Lampard, Van der Med, Nedved, plus one more Duff.

Ronaldinho and Pirlo don't bring...

In the first round, he had a two-ball advantage. Aldrich could not run away to play against Dynamo Kiev. Obviously, there are many unfavorable factors for visiting. Does he have to fight against the weather and the venue to tell the outsiders to win?

Bring a part of the bench, the starting point is also to let them familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the game in Eastern Europe. At least there is a psychological adaptation. In the future, they will not be caught by surprise.

Flying to Kiev was another short flight time. After Millwall stayed in the hotel in Kiev, the night before the game, local fans in Kiev held a massive harassment outside the hotel.

A group of people played rock concerts outside until late at night, and the fans also put up slogans to combat the morale of Millwall.

It cannot be said that this effect will be fatal, but at least it will have a certain effect.

Van der Med and Duff were mentally weak the next day, and the hotel had poor sound insulation. They didn’t sleep until four in the morning. Fortunately, they were not the main force. Like Nedved, they had experience in the main force. They wore headphones before going to bed. Listening to the sleep music, there is the movement of the gods and beasts crossing the sky and the thunder and the thunder, and they cannot stop them from falling asleep.

In the evening game, Aldridge put on a slim coat and commanded the game in London. He could take off his suit, but Kiev was so **** cold at night.

Fucking temperature.

When he appeared, the Dynamo Kiev fans gave him a boo.

They all heard that Millwall would put a bus here.

When the starting list came out, their boos increased.

The most intuitive feeling of the lineup that Millwall discharged is hard!

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Guards: Mills, Materazzi, Ferdinand, Neal.

Double waist: Gattuso, Makelele.

Bilateral avant-garde: Pedretti, Lampard.

Front waist: Nedved.

Forward: Larson.

Millwall put on a 451, and the midfield is completely a sight that is armed to the teeth.

From the start of the game, fans of Dynamo Kiev booed Millwall, and as long as they took the ball, intercepted the ball, and stolen and destroyed Dynamo Kiev's offense, the boos in the stands would be deafening.

Aldridge was very puzzled from the coach seat.

Dynamo Kiev went to Wembley to put a bus, and Millwall was a guest in the iron bucket. What's wrong?

Why boo us?

The fans of Dynamo Kiev boasted that the other party was right and strong.

Who makes you defending champions?

Before coming, Millwall announced the 18-man roster. Lobanovsky heard about it, but he couldn't believe it.

Can the information from the opponent itself be trusted?

Even at home, Lobanovski was still taboo against Millwall and lost to him at home last season.

He is not afraid of Millwall's mad attack, so Dynamo Kiev will have more opportunities.

He was most afraid of Millwall playing defense.

Today, Millwall is extremely inclined to defend.

This is the most troublesome. Once the strong team is emaciated, its weaker opponents have almost no choice.

Observing the running of both players after the opening, it can be clearly seen that Millwall's players have a slow rate. In the weather that is about 6 degrees lower than the average daily temperature in London, the players are not very comfortable and the venue is also awkward to kick.

Henry was shrinking his neck in a warm coat. He was sitting in the back row. The probe came out right in the ear of Aldridge. He asked curiously, "Head, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Aldridge asked strangely, "What is embarrassing?"

Henry took it for granted: "Boo."

"Oh, what's embarrassing?"

"Cough, you are the coach of the Champions League."

"So what? If you were to go up and kick hard, hum, maybe you will have to be injured in ten minutes."

Henry didn't ask anything after hearing it. He thought Aldrich would rather be booed and protect the players.

Although not all for this reason, there must be this consideration.

The weather is cold, and in unfamiliar venues, the probability of injury will increase.

This is completely different from the situation of playing against Dynamo Kiev in the group stage last season. At that time, the situation of the group's qualifying was unclear. Dynamo Kiev can play at home. Today, Dynamo Kiev is completely against Milwall. Desperate posture!

Once Millwall pulled away from the opponent and the distance between the three lines shrank significantly, then Millwall's players will inevitably do more start-up acceleration in order to keep up with each other, and it is easy to be injured.

Today, the five midfielders formed all-round protection of the defender line, compressing the space. The Dynamo Kiev's positional attack could not fully advance into the dangerous area. It only had a long-range peripheral and personal breakthrough.

Millwall’s offense is also very unsatisfactory. Most of the time, he can’t find the frontcourt. The force invested in the attack is too small. When Larson is marked to death, Nedvide will not take a ball. Rushing forward, today Millwall’s speed characteristics are weakened to the limit, and they can’t break through the opponent’s defense line by speed, but they control the ball and wait for the opponent to grab, which in turn consumes the opponent’s physical strength and psychologically will also make the opponent Become anxious.

"The first 45 minutes of the game ended. Dynamo Kiev got only three shots in the first half, including two long shots and Millwall zero shots. Looking at the data, we can't see Milwaukee. He has the momentum of the defending champion, but considering that they hold a two-ball advantage and lead by a total score of 2:0, Hall wants to get the ticket to the semifinals at the lowest cost, which is reasonable, but the fans do not seem to agree As long as Millwall's players touch the ball, the audience will make a huge boo."

Lobanovski walked back to the locker room with a sullen face, but Aldridge didn't change his face, even if the fans booed harshly, he was ignored.

With less and less game time in the second half, Dynamo Kiev invested more and more troops in their offense. They must at least score a goal before they can see the hope of promotion.

Aldrich seems to be telling the outside world through this game that if his team puts on the bus, it will make the opponent feel desperate.

When the game reached 75 minutes, Dynamo Kyiv pressed all over, and the back defense was exposed. Gattuso steals Belkovic and successfully opened the frontcourt with a big foot.

Larson walked almost in the previous time, waiting for such an opportunity. After successfully countering the offside, he rushed forward and the other goalkeeper attacked.

Shovkovsky rushed out of the penalty area and wanted to clear the ball. As a result, he judged that he had made a mistake. The ball bounced three meters in front of him. He jumped and used his body to block the ball, but the ball jumped over the top of his head...

Larson rushed past him, the ball bouncing and jumping slowed down, Larson didn't touch the ball, looked back to see Shovkovsky's position, the other party completely gave up.

Larson followed the ball slowly and watched the ball roll to the goal.

"Millwall scored a goal with a total score of 3:0. Dynamo Kyiv had no chance unless they scored 4 goals of the opponent in 15 minutes. Uh, the initiator of this goal should be Gattuso, Larsen deliberately didn't touch the ball and let the ball roll into the goal. This goal is probably the longest goal in the history of the Champions League. The home length of Dynamo Kiev is 120 yards. He is about 15 yards behind the middle circle The distance is the starting point, that is, the distance of about 75 yards is broken! Uh, whether it is a record, I need to check the historical data of the Champions League. I’m sorry."

Gattuso's original intention was a big pass. He didn't expect the opponent's goalkeeper to send a big gift, and made a mistake. He directly let the ball fly from the head and flew past his head. Then Gattuso saw Larson running past. He was already low. The fist was celebrated.

Larson obviously did not offside. If this ball can kick, Gattuso must break Larsen's leg.

When he bowed his head and celebrated, Maklele pushed him around and shouted, "You scored!"

Gattuso just got happy, suddenly stunned, looked up and looked forward, and found that Larson was slowly walking back to him with a smile on his face.

Gattuso realized that Larson didn't touch the ball.

Uh, I scored!

His reaction was very funny, froze for three seconds, and then suddenly began to rush to the sidelines, while also taking off the jersey and waving it on his head in his hands.

Millwall went up to the coaching staff and then came to the bench. Each of them stood up and applauded him. Regardless of how good it was, it was a bit incredible to score at that distance, but the process was not so exciting.

Dynamo Kiev was completely defeated by this goal. Not only did they fail to perform a reversal at home, but they were also scored by their opponents.

The narrator also confirmed after rummaging through the records. Gattuso's goal became the longest goal in the Champions League!

At the end of the game, Millwall's bench players stood up and celebrated with the players on the court.

"The defending champions defeated Dynamo Kyiv by a total score of 3:0 to reach the semi-finals. This achievement was quite remarkable. Millwall was only two rounds away from the defending and one victory in the finals. Of course, they must first defeat the half. The opponents in the finals do not yet know which team they will meet, but Hall’s team will not be afraid of their opponents. It should be the other semi-final teams praying to avoid this seemingly impossible to be defeated. Mad lion!"
