The Young Lion

On the eve of the UEFA Champions League final, Yi Wen took Rosie to Paris, went shopping on the Ottoman Boulevard, madly showed the nature of women, and went to do beauty in the evening.

Women, there are a lot of clothes, but they always feel that they have no clothes to wear, and they are already in good shape, but they still feel imperfect. Whether their faces are ugly or beautiful, in short, they are not beautiful enough.

Millwall flew to Paris the next day after winning the FA Cup. Three days before the final, one day off, one day to prepare, and the final day, the final battle!

When he was about to enter the Champions League final for the second time, Aldridge was a lot easier. The team played a lot of finals in recent years. The champion got a soft hand. Players regardless of age and geometry can at least handle the tension on the eve of the war. In response to pressure, the team has been preparing for a stable game since arriving in Paris, and there have been no mobs.

All European media flocked to the crowd. At the press conference before the Champions League final, Aldridge talked freely, without any pressure.

"Of course, we certainly came for the championship trophy. No one will be satisfied with the runner-up when they reach the final. The Triple Crown? We have achieved the Triple Crown before, and if we can replicate this year, it is indeed greater than the last time. , My players are ready for this moment."

When he was asked about the impact of Klose and Makelele's inability to play, Aldridge said frankly: "The lack of Makelele has a great impact on the team. I will not deny this, but I think Gattuso has ushered in his moment, withstand the pressure, and play his due level, then he can make an unparalleled contribution to the team, I trust him, and his teammates also Trust him. Klose was injured a few days ago and was unable to enter the bench. This is a major loss to us. He was very frustrated. I comforted him and told him that he is still young and there must be a chance in the future because we are one A strong team. As for this game, we have three players who can play as forwards in the bench, including Glenchar, Ramall, and Villa. I think we can handle all the difficulties in the game."

When talking about his opponent Valencia, Aldridge was very happy and laughed: "In the final, I think it is no longer important who is the hottest. After 90 minutes or 120 minutes, the winning side is the strong and loses. Even the weak, Valencia didn’t make it to the final by luck, and they looked much easier than our promotion to the final. We fought 180 minutes with Real Madrid in two rounds. They played 4:1 at home in the first round. The score ended the suspense, and their opponent is Barcelona, ​​a team that performs better than Real Madrid in the league. Valencia has many excellent players, Mendieta, Herald, Lopez, etc., and one An excellent head coach, if Millwall is taken lightly in the final, Valencia will finally win the cup. I think no one will be surprised. Of course, the premise is that we have played badly. During this season, I always believe that if Millwall Seoul can exert its full strength, we can win all competitions, so our enemy is ourselves."

May 24.

Paris, France Stadium.

Before the official start of the UEFA Champions League final this season, a series of cultural performances will be held in the stadium for fans to enjoy.

When the performance ended, the entire stadium quickly entered the atmosphere of a football match.

Today, the atmosphere in the stadium is unprecedentedly warm, overlooking from the sky, especially shocked, will definitely become a classic scene in the Champions League final.

The turf of the stadium is divided into two, with the emblem of the mad lion team on the left and the emblem of the bat army team on the right.

In the stands, the fans of the two sides coincided with the visually powerful cheering effect.

On the side of the stands, Millwall fans created a blue lion pattern through the color of the jersey, as if a mad lion appeared on the stands.

On the opposite side, Valencia fans also created a huge bat pattern, which symbolizes the patron saint of Valencia.

The two parties' chambers were not willing to show their weakness, and used their own methods to create pressure on their opponents.

Aldridge waited for the players to tidy up in the locker room, he said lightly to everyone: "This is Millwall's second time in three years to reach the Champions League final. It is the glory of the club and your glory. You have half of the players participating After the final two years ago, some people were the first to reach the Champions League final. I will not talk about letting you fight for the fans and the honor of the club. Now, think about yourself and win. It’s two. The great honour of the Champions League trophy in hand may be the first, but it makes you more hungry, think about your family, will be proud of you, think about your children, and will be proud of the father in the future, this is your Motivation, this is the determination you should have to defeat your opponents, let your name shine in European football, make your career more brilliant, let today, do not leave regrets!"

Aldridge turned away after he finished speaking. Next, the three captains who will start in the team will inspire the teammates in the locker room. They have experience and are qualified for winning the championship two years ago. They can help the first. Some players who played in the Champions League final, such as Henry, Gattuso, Ronaldinho and others.

Today, Aldridge, still in suit and leather, walked slowly in the player channel. Except for the staff, the players on both sides did not come out. He would not make a long talk before the game, so he often appeared on the court early. Today, No exception.

He doesn't want to change the pre-match mode that a well-known team is familiar with in the final, which will put unnecessary pressure on the team.

The hustle and bustle in the arena was audible. Aldridge was walking steadily. Looking at the brighter light outside the player's passage, he looked calm, not cold, not public, and even less worried.

In the locker room, he just told the truth, in a sense, the idea in his heart.

Football clubs have divorced from the nature of community public welfare organizations that have undertaken public obligations in the past. For the sake of fans? For the club? Many times people in different football circles are just a slogan.

People are selfish, especially under the premise of interest-driven.

In those days when playing football was basically the same as being a miner’s income, playing football was of course glory, and it was easy for the fans to resonate with the team.

But in the contemporary era, who can avoid the temptation to ignore the fame and fortune?

For money or personal fame, is this wrong? That's right, and the premise is to kick the ball well, and fame and fortune income is directly linked to the performance of the stadium.

At this moment, Aldridge can't work in the spirit of the club's honor with a fan's support in mind.

At the age of 24, for the second time in the Champions League final, he is making history, a history that belongs to him, a legend that people can discuss for a long time even if Millwall is set aside.

At this time, he needs to be selfish and make the team selfish.

Win for yourself, win for selfish desires!

People do not die for their own sake, can they generate more motivation for others?

There are such people, but Aldrich always thinks that those people are a few.

Out of the player's channel, Aldridge came to the stadium, stood on the sidelines, and looked around the stadium for the first time.

When he appeared on the sidelines, hundreds of sideline photographers surrounded him and started a long shooting.

Those professional cameras were more like a shotgun, aimed at Aldridge.

All of a sudden, with Aldridge as the center, and the flashlight nearby.

Rosie, who was sitting with Ewen in the stands, leaned over and looked down on the sidelines. When he saw Aldridge being "siegeed" by the camera, his eyes widened in wonder.

She couldn't understand how a man can be so sought after.

Perhaps in her eyes, the reason is that Aldridge looks handsome.

"The 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League final is about to start. The two teams that entered the final this year were Millwall from England and Valencia from Spain. The two teams each defeated the two giants of Spain in the semifinals. Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​now, Valencia, who has reached the Champions League final for the first time in history, and Millwall, who has reached the Champions League final for the second time in history, will compete against the championship trophy! This is described as an offensive and defensive before the game In the peak battle of the collision, Valencia created by Cooper deducted the defensive counterattack to the extreme, and Millwall was the most powerful offensive firepower in Europe this season under the training of Hall. The English media declared before the game Today will be the second day of the second generation of Lions created by Hall to win Europe! That’s right, compared with Millwall’s final starting lineup two years ago, today’s Millwall has half of the personnel changes. Shevchenko , Trezeguet, Elgra, Capdevila, Makelele, these people can’t play for Millwall today. Makelele was suspended for Ronaldinho because of the suspension Whether the second generation of Mad Lion represented by Henry can stand on top of Europe, this game has a landmark meaning!"

Valencia coach Cooper walked into the stadium at the beginning of the game. Aldrich turned his head and found that the other party was approaching himself, so he greeted him, and the two coaches separated after a few words, maybe the game There was no chance to meet after that.

With the Champions League theme song, the players of the two teams began to enter the field with great energy.

"Now let me introduce you to the starting list of both sides. First, Millwall. Today they have a neat lineup except for Makelele’s red card suspension.

Millwall 433.

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.

There is also a main player in Valencia's formation who missed the final due to a suspension. The absence of defender Kaboni may have a great impact on the back line.

Valencia started with 442.

Goalkeeper: Canizares.

Defenders: Angloma, Jukić, Pellegrino, Gerardo.

Midfielders: Mendieta, Farinos, Herald, Kili Gonzalez.

Forwards: Angulo, Claudio Lopez.

From the comparison of the two team lineups alone, Valencia's disadvantage is not too obvious, especially their midfield combination is known as one of the best in Europe, and Millwall's division of labor is reasonable and clear. This is also known to everyone, and the key trend of today's game, Valencia depends on the midfield, Millwall has many points to rely on, which is why Millwall is considered to be the favorite to win the championship. "

The end of the Champions League theme song, Millwall and Valencia opened the field ready to kick off.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms around his chest and looked serious. During the first 10-20 minutes, he must observe the situation on the field. This will be the key to the overall trend of the game and also to test his targeted deployment before the game. Whether the tactical arrangements are effective.
