The Young Lion

Wembley was full of lights and was full.

Very rare scenario, Millwall's Champions League game, actually had a full attendance at Wembley.

The opponent is Dynamo Kyiv from Ukraine. It is very strange. Last season, Millwall played Barcelona in the group stage and played against Juventus and Monaco in the knockout. The highest attendance on the stadium was only 93%.

Just in the last three months, the number of Millwall fans has surged again.

The Arsenal of Wenger's training has become smooth and delicate, pleasing to the eye.

Millwall, who was tuned by Aldridge, began to become magically gorgeous. They had the teamwork of the Mercury Lagoon and dazzling personal skills.

Fans come in to watch the game, looking forward to Ronaldinho's dance steps, Henry's attack, Nedved's burst shot, Larson's ghost, Pirlo's exquisite pass, etc., this series is the most attractive to fans When the factors of concern are concentrated on Millwall, it is not surprising that fans flock to Wembley to watch the game.

Club CEO Adam stood proudly in the VIP box, and he stood hand in hand. Today, many Millwall business partner representatives were specially invited to watch the ball together on the spot. It was just entertainment. In fact, his mind is well known. Just show it to partners: see how popular Millwall is!

That hate in his heart!

He is urging the new stadium project again and again, but the contractor can’t deliver the stadium in the summer of 1999 even if he speeds up the project. If Millwall cannot move into the new stadium before August 1999, he can only do so in 2000. In the summer, it is not possible to carry out such a big project to move the stadium in the middle of the season. It will obviously affect the team's record. The boss Aldridge certainly disagrees.

If it can move into the new stadium, the attendance rate is better than expected in the previous two years, and now there are more than 40,000 people booking season season tickets.

Adam is also a popular figure in English football. He holds a few quotations from first-tier clubs, but he is unimpressed. He is similar to the CEO of most Premier League teams. He also looks forward to one day in the future. Going to serve in the FA, and he knows that he can make a name for himself, and it is inseparable from the glaring record of Millwall. This is the case, everything depends on the performance of the field. Chelsea of ​​Bates a few years ago It's a joke, Chelsea Village Mencora, now with the record of improvement in performance has also improved, but Chelsea debt is too high, the increase in operating income is a slap in the wind.

When Aldridge in suits and suits appeared on the sidelines, the warm atmosphere on the court suddenly rose several levels. The fans of the crazy lion no longer need to use more words and deeds to express their adoration and trust in the young handsome. So many heavyweight players have been sold, and the reaction of the fans is relatively flat. In addition to some pitiful voices, everyone's mood is very weird, and they have changed to other teams. Even if they are big players, selling so many stars will inevitably be among the fans. There was an uproar in the group, but the fans of the crazy lion didn't seem to worry at all.

After an interval of more than a year, Aldridge and Lobanovsky once again played against each other. He took the initiative to shake hands with each other and briefly greeted each other. From a close observation, it can be seen that the other party’s appearance is slightly worse than last year. Perhaps his physical condition is already Some are not ideal.

When the Champions League theme song sounded, players from both sides stood in line on the field.

"The first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals is about to start in Wembley. Last season's champion Millwall played against Dynamo Kiev from Ukraine. The two teams should be familiar with each other. They were in the group stage last season. After playing, Dynamo Kiev’s memories are not good. They were double killed by Millwall host and guest. Today their starting lineup has not changed from last season, and Millwall has changed a lot. After all, they have lost in the new season. Half of the main force of last season, this may be the key point of the game, how does Dynamo Kiev prevent the attack group of Millwall's blossoming point? Perhaps this is also concerned by neutral audiences, Millwall's recent state is surprisingly good , People are asking: How to contain their offense?"

Aldrich raised his chest and calmly stood on the sidelines.

In the second year of Lobanovsky's third move into Dynamo Kiev, the team was more mature and has been tuned to the limit of combat power.

Their staff has not changed. According to the ability of these players on the field, hegemony in the Ukrainian league is not a problem. It is not only a bonus of the player’s own ability and the role of the team. Out of the ultimate advantage of the Eastern European team, that is the advantage of home.

Even if the giants are visiting Eastern Europe, the weather and the venue, plus the effect of adjusting the time difference, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Dynamo Kiev won 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss and 11 points in the group stage 6 games. Is to score 3 points at home and draw a draw away.

Today Millwall ushered in Dynamo Kiev in Wembley. If you can't win the game in the first 90 minutes, it will be very dangerous to be a guest in the second round.

The other guest made a 451 formation and strengthened the midfield interception.

Goalkeeper: Shovkovsky.

Defenders: Luzny, Khrovka, Vashkuk, Karaze.

Midfielders: Haskovic, Belkovic, Husin, Kadash, Kosovsky.

Forward: Rebrov.

Dynamo Kiev's offensive sharpness, which lacks the nuclear warhead Shevchenko, must have declined. This is a good thing for Millwall. At least the pressure encountered when the opponent counterattacks will not be too great.

Henry and Larson stood in the middle to prepare for the kick-off, and the **** attacking group, who were vigorous, looked at the other party clearly in a defensive posture, and their hearts were full of war.

Millwall led the Premier League with points, the FA Cup reached the top 16, the Champions League is now playing in the quarter-finals, and the outside world has a very high call for them to create a new glory this season. This is what they are now pursuing, entering the third. In fact, it actually entered the sprint stage of the championship across the board!

At the start of the game, Millwall is the main attack!

Henry kicked the ball to Larsson, who passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho rushed forward with the ball. The momentum to break through forced the Dynamo Kiev midfielder to grab him and Ronaldinho's heel kicked the ball Knocked to the back of Nedved, the Czech kept a straight pass, Larsen forward and Henry also made a two-on-one shot with one foot, Millwall broke the first wave of offense after the kick The opponent's midfield defensive line.

Larsson made a fake pass pass and directly broke through the penalty area himself, volleying the goal at a 45-degree angle!

"Larsen shot! Shovkovski made a wonderful save. He climbed up from the ground and shouted at his teammates to remind his teammates to wake up. Millwall completed the game by touching the ball with four people at the opening. Shot, it seems that Dynamo Kiev did not quickly enter the game after the opening."

After the opening, Dynamo Kiev did enter the game slowly. They were used to playing in Eastern Europe. When they came to England, they naturally needed to adapt.

Millwall not only has the advantage, but also dominates the game in an all-round way. From the beginning of the new year, the attack of the three months before and after the run-in, the team's attack has indeed entered a mature stage, and further improvement is to improve.

Aldridge asked the team to attack after the start of the game and did not give the opponent a time to transition to a firm foothold. This tactical arrangement has received special effects. Millwall has been pressing the opponent to attack.

The two full-backs Zambrotta and Schneider also crossed the center line to make countermeasures and compete for two points in the periphery.

In the sixth minute of the opening, Schneider made a straight pass to Nedved. Nedved stopped using his body to turn around and drew the ball over Hu Xin, followed by a cold shot!

"Nedved made a long shot! Unfortunately, Khrovka was blocked with his body, the ball popped out of the penalty area, Ronaldinho stopped the ball, and he also came with a long shot! Karaze blocked with his body. This foot shot."

Two consecutive long shots made Dynamo Kiev's defense line panic, and the defensive position also lost contact. After the ball popped up, he was picked up by Pirlo in the middle. He was also about 30 yards away from the goal and could also get up. Long shots, it seems that he intends to do so.

But when he swings his legs to make a shot and Kadash flew to block, he lightly slammed the ball and rushed past Kadash, then a straight ball was inserted and the ball was passed to everyone unexpectedly. There was no one to mark Larson on the right side of the penalty area.

Larsson took the ball a step forward and then swept the ball across the door. Henry pounced and the ball rolled into the gate of Dynamo Kiev.

"In the first 7 minutes, Millwall scored! Although the assist was Larson, this ball must be praised by Pirlo. He passed Kadash and calmly passed the ball to the open position. Larsen, Dynamo Kyiv Although there are many defenders, the defense position can be chaotic after being continuously shot. Larson's ability to find empty space is unmatched. The rest depends on whether his teammate can pass the ball. Give it to him. Fortunately, Millwall owns Pirlo. His overall view and passing vision are amazing."

After scoring a goal, Henry pointed at Larson, but Larson beckoned to Pirlo. Millwall's other teammates ran over, and they greeted the fans on the side of the stands with their arms around each other.

The fans of the crazy lions are indescribably happy. They see the team performing a beautiful and passionate football. With the happy element Ronaldinho has injected into this team this season, the fans are very dedicated and support the team firmly, even They didn't even have a glance at other giants' interest, because they decided that Millwall's game was the most exciting and the best.

Aldridge's response to the goal was very calm, simply applauding and giving up.

But the heart is full of expectations.

The time of this goal is very important. Dynamo Kiev is behind in the opening less than 10 minutes. In the two rounds of the knockout, each goal is like gold.

What will Lobanovski do next?

Still keeping?

As long as Dynamo Kyiv invests a little more force in the offensive and presses out before the formation, Millwall's attack will be more threatening.

Nobanovsky was also very calm. He sat on the coach's bench without moving, and his expression did not change at all.

He feels bad about the draw of Dynamo Kiev. Not only did he get Millwall who was double-killed last season, the opponent is also the defending champion. In addition, the status of Millwall recently has attracted attention throughout Europe. Dynamo Kiev Even more unlucky is to play away in the first round, he hopes that Dynamo Kiev will play better at home in the first round, so that the other party's performance is more limited than expected, and Dynamo Kiev has more opportunities As long as Dynamo Kiev can score at home, the mentality of the opponent coming to the road is completely different. Unfortunately, Dynamo Kiev was the guest of the first round, but was unable to defend.

What next?

Lobanovski had really imagined it before and reminded the team.

Therefore, Aldridge was disappointed.

He didn't see any changes in Dynamo Kiev. Even if the ball was dropped first, the fence was still built first.

After losing the ball, Dynamo Kiev quickly entered the state and began to restrict Millwall's offense in a hierarchy.
