The Young Lion

Millwall has two fewer players on the field and has no offensive force, even with Larson, but Larson's physical fitness has run out of light and he has returned to the backcourt to act as a defensive role of moving the wall.

Real Madrid's offense is not renewed, but slowly and slowly looking for opportunities, probably forgetting the score, no longer expecting to advance, so the game posture has also become routine.

Even so, the efficient and orderly pass organization still allowed Real Madrid to pull back another goal at the last minute, because their people were all pushed up, and Millwall didn't even have a counterpoint.

Real Madrid's attack at the last minute caused a chaos in Millwall's penalty area. Zidane made a long-range shot. Butt blocked it. Morientes made a header shot on the crossbar. The rebounded ball was only after Raul made a shot. Fly into Millwall's goal. Despite Raul's obvious kick, the goal was scored.

After scoring, the Real Madrid stars looked at the time on the scoreboard: 92:15.

There is no time.

Millwall fell five times in the backcourt after the kickback, and then when Morentes snatched Schneider, Schneider kicked the ball to the frontcourt. The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. sound.

"The Champions League semi-finals, the much-anticipated World War II, the end of the 180-minute two-round match between defending champion Millwall and Real Madrid, defending champion Millwall has demonstrated a strong strength and achieved a double home and away Real Madrid. Away with a 5:3 victory, today they defeated Real Madrid 4:2 at home, a total score of 9:5 to create club history, and the history of the English team, entered the Champions League final for three consecutive years, waiting for their impact will be more At the moment of the great record, if they can achieve the Champions League three consecutive championships, they will become the fourth Champions League three consecutive championship teams after Real Madrid, Ajax, Bayern Munich, and also an unprecedented record for the English team. However, Millwall’s hidden danger is that Southgate’s red card cannot make it to the finals. Nedved and Henry are injured and leave the field. It is not known whether they can catch up with the finals. Now, they should be more concerned about another semifinal tomorrow. Come see if their opponent is Liverpool or Manchester United."

When the whistle sound at the end of the game started, Millwall played quietly. They would not rush into the field to celebrate as some teams advanced to the Champions League final. Not everyone is restraining, but everyone is accustomed to it, regardless of players As a coach, when the Champions League did not kick off, everyone's goal is to defend the title, and now it is just a step forward to the goal end.

Aldridge couldn't be pleased. There was something in his heart. Southgate's red card was a fait accompli. Nedved and Henry's injuries were still inconclusive. He thought about it in his heart.

Going to shake hands with Bosque routinely, then Aldridge turned and walked quickly into the player tunnel.

On the way to the locker room, Aldridge tried to comfort himself and relax his mood.

Real Madrid tried to go to the throne in a dust-free manner to worship the world. How could it be so easy?

How could Millwall easily enter the finals without any cost?

Losing the ball is the price, the red card is the price, and the injured player is also the price.

And these costs are worth it, Millwall has not stopped the pace of progress towards glory.

Only Ronaldinho's injuries are meaningless.

Thinking about it, Aldridge was really relaxed.

At least Ronaldinho can definitely play in the final! As long as he doesn't have an accident while he recovers from injury.

In the locker room, I briefly summarized the game and told everyone to go back and have a rest. From this moment on, the team will prepare for the Champions League final.

Aldridge took Southgate to the post-match press conference.

The reporters clearly saw that Aldridge was not interested. Compared with the last time he defeated Real Madrid, he now looks calm.

Asked about the injury of the players in the game, Aldridge said lightly: "Millwall players are in good health throughout the season, but today two main players are injured, the most important thing is the intensity of the game, Nedved I don’t know whether he will catch up with Henry in the Champions League final."

As for today's 4:2 score, the content of the game, Aldridge just said in diplomatic tone: "Real Madrid is great, but Millwall is better, will, determination, team, this is the key to our victory."

Liverpool or Manchester United?

"We don't care who the opponents are in the finals, we do our job well and then go all out to win the championship."

The reporters looked at each other, Aldridge's tone was light, and it sounded like no one in the eyes, but think about it, Millwall has overturned Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid this season.

The league has steadily won four consecutive championships. Both Manchester United and Liverpool have been suppressed by Millwall in the league all year round. Audric said this is really justified.

Whoever the opponent is!

The reporters counted, and could no longer count the imaginary enemies that could challenge Millwall.

In other words, the only enemy is Millwall himself!

Therefore, Aldrich's bland sentence, listening to the reporter's ear, has become very connotative.

Doing their own job well, nothing is more important!

Asking Aldridge what else, it is estimated that there is no new content. The reporters turned their attention to Southgate.

"Gares, do you regret that foul?"

Southgate will miss the finals, of course he is not happy, facing the reporter, he said in a deep voice: "My duty is to avoid being scored by opponents, to defend their offense, if there is anything that I regret, it is I failed to seal Raul's running route and let him run behind me. As for the foul and red card, I am very sorry for the team and the fans, but I don't regret if that can avoid the team in that If you lose the ball at this stage."

The reporters have different opinions on Southgate's answer. Some people think that his foul is worthwhile. Others think that even if Real Madrid can get one back, Millwall will not be passive as long as he keeps the number balanced.

In any case, Southgate is still the captain supported by Millwall fans. The team won and advanced. No one will blame his red card. On the contrary, more people will regret him.

The next day, the club received many letters from fans, all for Southgate, Nedved, and Henry. The consolation, encouragement, worship, and fans expressed positive aspects.

Aldrich came to the medical center and happened to see that Beckham was going outside, probably to review the injury. Now his injury has not reached the recovery stage, and he is still in the stage of healing. Beckham is still being escorted by Victoria Turning, he greeted Aldridge and asked, "Coach, do you go to Old Trafford to watch the ball at night?"

Aldrich shook his head: "No, just watch TV at home, if you want to go back to Manchester, be careful."

Beckham smiled and left with his wife.

Aldrich shook his head, feeling subtle and weird.

He found the team doctor and got the diagnosis reports of Nedved and Henry's injuries.

Both injuries were not serious. Henry was only slightly injured and he can recover in 5 days. He will certainly be able to catch up with the Champions League final. Nedved will need to be close to 2 weeks. Just when the Champions League final starts, this is still an optimistic expectation. If the injury is not recovered well, it may not be able to keep up. Furthermore, players who have just recovered should be used with caution.

When Aldridge came home at night, Nedvide called him, expressing his desire to participate in the finals. Of course, he was able to actively deal with injuries and injuries. He would certainly be able to do it, but he hoped that it would be the day of the finals. , Aldridge can give him a chance.

After 8 years of mentoring, Aldridge agreed to his request without hesitation.

He knows that this year and this season has a special meaning for Nedved. The main teammates will go to the World Cup, but he has no World Cup to participate in. His final thoughts and expectations for this season are the Champions League finals. There is nothing else.

But after hanging up the phone, Aldridge became very worried.

Another game of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals is about to begin. In the living room, Burt and Earl are sitting on the sofa holding juice drink bottles, drinking with flavor, eyes staring at the TV and looking forward, Ewen sees Audridge He looked up and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Aldrich shook his head: "Some things about the team."

He sat down on the sofa and remembered the promise to Nedved, in fact, it was a violation of his coaching principles. If the team doctor thinks that Nedved’s physical condition is not suitable for a fierce competition, Aldridge should reject Nedved De's request, his promise, was said earlier.

In the old Trafford game, the red derby played the same score in the first round within 90 minutes of the second round, 2:1, and the total score was 3:3.

In the overtime, the two sides have no success, Liverpool's bad luck in the cruel penalty shootout, Manchester United broke into the Champions League final this season!

After the game, Aldridge went upstairs to rest.

The following day, Fleet Street began to speculate in the Champions League final.

"Millwall and Manchester United join the top of Europe!"

"Hall and Ferguson compete in the Champions League!"

"England rules Europe!"

...

Ferguson praised his disciples for their hard fight against Liverpool after two rounds and reached the Champions League final. However, when looking forward to the Champions League final, his entire expression changed. He was excited in the first second and heavy in the second.

"Manchester United really did not perform well in the league this season. The current ranking is not a manifestation of our strength, not the achievements this club should achieve, but coming to the Champions League is another matter. What will happen in a game, we cannot predict In 1999, I remember that almost everyone at the time thought Bayern Munich would beat Manchester United to win the Champions League. The result? The situation is very similar to three years ago, everyone is optimistic about Millwall, Manchester United is considered a disadvantage Side, but on the football field, not a strong winner, Manchester United has the ambition and will to bring the Champions League trophy back to Old Trafford again."

Before the Premier League kicked off on the weekend, Aldridge was asked about his comments on Ferguson’s comments: “Manchester United strives for a win this season. This is a reaction that every team with a chance will have. It’s normal and normal. , But the opportunities in front of Millwall are very different. We are creating a new history. Previously, no English team has achieved three consecutive Champions League championships. Now we have the opportunity to be the first English team to do it. This achievement, purely on ambitions, will Millwall be less than Manchester United? Bayern Munich is Bayern Munich, Millwall is Millwall, just as Manchester United used to face Millwall calmly, can it now?"

A pair of enemies who have been fighting in the Premier League for seven years will once again stage a dragon fight in the Champions League final, the top of Europe!
