The Young Lion

The new season is on schedule, and the charity shield, which symbolizes the end of the English football offseason, is held at Cardiff Millennium Stadium for the first time.

The Millwall team came to Cardiff, Wales, and Liverpool were also fighting hard in the new season.

Last season, he won three championship trophies. Liverpool's mental outlook of the three cup kings has been refreshed. The Red Army has been listed as a member of the Premier League title group in the new season. Since 1995, the Premier League title has been Millwall and Manchester United. In the game between Arsenal and Liverpool, the expectation is to break this old pattern. Together with Manchester United and Arsenal, they have challenged the league's three consecutive championships and have formed a monopoly of Millwall.

For the rise of Liverpool again, Aldridge gave a high evaluation in front of the media. He himself expressed: "I like the city of Liverpool. As a traditional English giant, Liverpool can attack the league champion, which will make the Premier League. The further improvement of the competition will not only benefit the development of the Premier League, but also bring positive stimulation to Millwall. You know that if your opponent is always the same, and you can always beat the opponent, this will undoubtedly make you The aggressiveness is hit, Millwall needs a new challenge, can Liverpool cause trouble for our defending, we will know when May arrives next year."

Aldridge's remarks were bluntly interpreted as Fleet Street.

Maybe he is telling the truth, Millwall really needs more challengers, let them maintain a sense of crisis, enterprising, this will not let the team become mentally empty after continuous victory.

But Aldridge apparently satirized Manchester United and Arsenal.

I think these two opponents have been Millwall's rivals in the past, but in the past three years, they have been continuously defeated by Millwall.

Liverpool coach Hollier showed some limited ambitions, claiming that although Liverpool have the strength to impact the league champions in the new season, because the team still has the Champions League to participate, the two-line combat situation is grim and it is a realistic goal to enter the top three of the league. .

Cardiff is a city in Wales. Many teams in Wales were established 70-80 years ago, but at that time, Wales did not have a mature league system, so many professional teams in Wales joined the English league system. It wasn't until 1992 that the Premier League was established and the Wales league was also established. Some Welsh teams returned to the "native" league, but there are still some, such as Swansea, Cardiff City, who chose to stay in England regardless of league maturity or competition. Stronger in the professional league system.

In the tenth year of the Premier League, there are still no Welsh teams on the Premier League, and even Swansea's "strong team", which always has a strong performance in the Welsh Cup, can only survive in the fourth league of England. At the end of last season, it almost fell into the non-professional league, which is normal in the eyes of the English people. Wales can despise English sports, only football, football? How can this group of Welsh sheep with herds make a difference in English football!

Like the home of the Welsh football team, the Millennium Stadium was originally built only for rugby games.

The Premier League champion, the England FA Cup champion, and the division into the Millennium Stadium. In addition to the large number of fans of the Lions and the Reds, the local Welsh fans are also willing to pay to enter and enjoy an English giants showdown.

The charity shield held here for the first time, the stadium has nearly 75,000 seats, and the atmosphere is very warm.

"The game still has more than ten minutes to start. We saw Hall on the sidelines talking with Hollier. The two coaches have known each other for a long time. The outside world is rumored that they have good personal relations. It seems to be true."

Aldrich knew that Hollier was in poor health, and took the opportunity to greet him. Hollier was filled with emotion. The job of the head coach of the football club was laborious and painstaking. A lot of work was only the foundation. The irritating command on the spot also made people Heart bears a huge load.

Players from both sides entered the lineup, each holding their heads high, the old players calm and restrained as if with majesty, and the young players vigorously vigorously permeated Changhong.

"Millwall, Liverpool, the players of the two teams have entered the field and are taking a group photo before the game. What is interesting is that today the two teams battle the Charity Shield. Three weeks later, the two teams will meet at the European Super Cup. Today's game , Can be seen as a preview.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Palyuka.

Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.

This was Millwall's starting game in the Champions League final. There was no change in personnel. That's why in the new season, as long as Millwall participates in all competitions, they are listed as the biggest favorites! Compared to the previous summer when the main players left, Millwall spent a quiet summer this year, only a few bench players were taken away, considering that they are like Metzelder, Barzali, Alonso on the bench. , Klose and other players have improved significantly compared to last season's strength, Millwall's overall strength in the new season only rises!

Liverpool start 442.

Goalkeeper: Dudek.

Defenders: Carragher, Hypia, Henjoz, Reese.

Midfielders: Murphy, Gerrard, Harman, Smitchell.

Forwards: Husky, Irving.

Hollier sent Fowler to Leeds United in the summer, the team's strength seems to have declined, but if Fowler stays in the team, Liverpool may be troubled in the new season because the conflict between Fowler and Hollier is already a passerby As everyone knows, if this problem is not solved, Liverpool cannot be stabilized.

Can Liverpool be qualified to challenge the status of Millwall Premier League in the new season? Today's game may not be too convincing, but we can also see some famous ones. In the end, Liverpool and Millwall are not Xiang Bozhong or the gap is obvious? "

Before the game started, Aldridge was sitting on the coach's seat. He looked calm, thinking about something that no one in the world would know.

South Locker Room Curse!

Uh, Millwall used the South Locker Room today. Since Wembley was closed early last season, the England game has not moved to the Millennium Stadium for many days. The South Locker room's spell must have not been discovered.

In the future, many teams will use the South Locker Room and lose the game, so it is called the curse.

Aldridge is not serious, just remembered that there is such a thing, I want to see today's game, is Liverpool really a BUFF with improved state strength, or Millwall has been weakened because of the use of the South locker room DEBUFF.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool launched a fast break, many people attacked, one high and one fast double forward, Smitchell ambushing behind them, the brave Gerrard, full-back Risse, all rushed up.

I was caught off guard by Millwall and almost rushed away from the goal. Fortunately, Palyuka played normally and steadily resolved Irving's shot.

Aldridge was taken aback, thinking that there was really a curse in the dark.

But after watching it for another 5 minutes, I came to understand it and made a false alarm!

He glanced at Hollier in the coach seat next door.

Liverpool, really took a few cup champions to restore the dominance of the Red Army in the past.

Millwall's players were just pressed for a while at the start of the game. The players and their monks were puzzled. When they entered the state, they saw clearly the posture of Liverpool today. Millwall players were in agreement.

Pirlo looked at the backcourt, then at the frontcourt, and looked at the players Liverpool was pressing close to. Gerrard was inseparable from him.

Afterwards, he exclaimed in his heart: Yeah, you actually want to play against us?

Either Liverpool had a boost BUFF, or Millwall was facing DEBUFF, or Liverpool had to play against Millwall!

Like many coaches, Hollier has a headache when he encounters Millwall. Researching how to deal with Millwall. Defensive counterattacks have proved to be not feasible. Liverpool itself does not use defensive counterattacks as the mainstream tactics, but defensive counterattacks are excellent. Valencia, who was abused by Millwall for two consecutive years, Bayern Munich also played anti-anti, finally ended up with a net swallowing three eggs.

Since the anti-anti-reaction effect is minimal, then attack, fight against opportunities, adventure is an adventure, but Hollier believes that at least the probability of winning will be much higher than the anti-anti-counterfeit and gradually knocked down by Millwall.

Liverpool are actually a small diamond-shaped midfielder. Harman is in the back. Gerrard and Murphy are in the midfield. Smitcher is in the midfield. They attack Lisse on the left and Murphy on the right.

After being familiar with the distribution and movement of Liverpool players, Millwall began to exert force, and the field commander Pirlo took the initiative to move the position to the left, away from Gerrard and close to Murphy.

Not only did Pirlo discover the Reds' attack, other players also noticed.

The offensive players are all excited.

Great kind of Red Army!

It's really not easy. When we meet an opponent who dares to play against us, we usually have to catch an opponent with a slight balance of skills and tactics. We all have to spend flowers to celebrate. Today, when I met you, I won the prize.

Counterattack means that the other party's offensive investment must be large in order to play an effective offensive, and at the same time the backcourt space becomes larger.

In the 12th minute, Smitchell took the ball in front of the penalty area and was ready to turn the ball straight to Husky and was intercepted by Gattuso. After Gattuso intercepted the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Pirlo.

Murphy and Gerard sandwiched Pirlo, Pirlo's ankle shook, the ball passed through the narrow gap between the two, and Zambrotta rushed past Murphy and got the ball all the way Forward.

Zambrotta's dribbling ball is like a wild horse galloping across the midfield area.

No one!

Gerald and Murphy were left behind, and Harman stared at Nedved not dare to go up, and stepped back, the entire midfield area was empty.

Liverpool's back line was overwhelmed, and Holier also had smoke in his head.

Zambrotta, how can you take the ball to the middle?

Are you not a wing player?

In the middle of the space, Zambrotta drove to the middle of the road, not at all a full-back defender's dribbling area.

When Zambrotta brought the ball to the area 40 yards from the goal, Harman finally came to the top, but Zambrotta's speed has reached its peak, flexibly changing the direction of the diagonal to break through Harman's defense zone.

Millwall 5 hit 4!

Liverpool's four guards are facing the enemy!

Nedved inserted the left rib diagonally, Ronaldinho cut the middle from the left, Larson cut the middle from the right, and Henry pulled from the middle to the right.

Reese and Larson took the middle of the restricted area.

Carragher and Ronaldinho close the middle of the restricted area.

Hepia sealed Nedved, Henjoz was originally with Henry, but Ronaldinho and Larson closed at the middle of the road at the same time, and he stood still, hoping that Reese could switch flexibly to stare at Henry.

But between this electro-optical flint, the Liverpool line of defense has done a good job, only one person is missed, that is Henry.

Zambrotta didn't need to think about it. After the teammates on the front line had finished running, it was clear at a glance. His pass just happened to roll past Lisse towards the middle of the road. When Lisser stopped and turned again, Henry stopped the ball at the same time. Back inside, Lisse seemed to be lost, looking around looking for someone.

Henry made a diagonal shot to the goal from close range and volleyed.

The ball crossed the top of Dudek's head and flew into the goal.
