The Young Lion

An uncompetitive league is an absolute powerhouse that cannot breed European football. A club that does not have fierce internal competition is also difficult to hit the peak, and the dominance is far from being discussed.

Millwall is strong, which is an intuitive impression from the outside world. But in Audridge’s view, to keep Millwall strong, it must intensify internal competition, and let Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Pirlo, etc. When the absolute main force has a sense of crisis, they must not only defeat all strong enemies externally, but also defend their position internally to meet the challenges of newcomers.

Therefore, after the main frame of the Millwall first team has formed steadily and reached a certain level of strength, Aldridge’s work has begun to shift its focus, training troops and training rookies. This seems to be a precaution, but its purpose is by no means to cultivate whom. A successor, or a regular replacement with a strong replacement, or a surprise soldier in need of emergency, he needs young players like Alonso, Villa, Barzali, Ashley Cole, etc. Growing up quickly, giving the first-team members a sense of pressure and urgency.

Don't slack off, relax a little, they will be replaced by newcomers!

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the rule of the whole world, of course, in the football world, it applies.

In the game against Feyenoord, Aldrich has seen the potential shown by these teenagers and started to turn his talents into real strength one by one. This is a very good phenomenon.

1:2!

Feyenoord is behind.

Substitution, Millwall.

The youth team can lead the score in 70 minutes, Aldridge is very pleased, now, he can not demand more, Joaquin and Vicente are on the sidelines, close to the exhausted lights, Joe Cole in the frontcourt Everywhere, has reached the end of the crossbow.

At this time, Aldridge wants to play his role as the head coach to help these young soldiers maintain their precious victory in their eyes.

Grenchar, Van der Med, and Gattuso played together.

Millwall changed to 4213, Gattuso and Pedretti formed a double midfielder, Alonso was a midfielder, bilateral striker and Villa attacked the city.

When Vicente, Joaquin and Joe Cole came off the field, Aldridge took the initiative to get up and hug the three.

Feyenoord's players are almost irrationally attacking. If they lose to Millwall at home, this team should be called the 2 team, they will become a laughing stock.

Once the battle is over, the rise of stars on the greenery field is always accompanied by the fall of one enemy after another, and it becomes the glory of the winner against the background.

With Gattuso strengthening the midfield defense, despite Feyenoord's fierce attack, he was farther away from breaking the goal.

In the 83rd minute, Grenchar received the long pass from the right side of Van der Meide on the left and faced Feyenoord, who was behind the emptiness. He drove the ball for a long distance and killed in the cover of Villa's running position. Into the penalty area, facing the goalkeeper kick shot Millwall's third goal.

1:3!

Millwall locked in the victory.

When the whistle sound at the end of the game started, Millwall’s youth army jumped and jumped with excitement. This was originally an insignificant game, but for them, it may be a milestone battle in their career!

After the game, the media tirelessly put the junior nicknames for these young soldiers and began to give them the nickname of XX II, but Millwall from the club to the fans, everyone does not care about the game public opinion, their eyes are on the top 8 lottery!

In the draw ceremony, when the sign of vs was drawn between Millwall's name and the name of another team, the picture was frozen at the moment that shocked the soul.

Bayern Munich vs Millwall!

"The Champions League peak matchup is staged ahead of time!"

This is the title of almost all the media the next day the lottery results came out.

In this season, the two UEFA teams recognized as the most powerful meet early in the quarter-finals!

Millwall is the hottest champion, ranking first.

Bayern Munich is the No. 2 favourite, followed closely.

Even if Bayern Munich hated the Camp Nou last season, Bayern Munich and Millwall still left Manchester United and Real Madrid behind.

Although Millwall did not encounter strong enemies in the two rounds of the group stage, their unimaginable performance in the league made them the most popular championships. Bayern Munich, although it was not surprising to ride in the league, was not unexpected, but they were in the Champions League. China is using a strong posture to overwhelm the champions, for example, in the group stage, the total score of host-guest encounter is 8:3 victory over Real Madrid.

(Originally, Bayern suffered a challenge from Leverkusen in the league this season, and the competition was stalemate, but because of the lack of Leverkusen in this book, the record of important people such as Bout, Schneider, and Barak is affected.)

In the countless taverns on the Thames, Millwall fans cheered when they got the news of the lottery results the first time!

A year ago, they defeated Munich, and all the crazy lions were unwilling. From the players to the fans, everyone wanted to fight against Bayern Munich. If possible, they would really like Millwall to participate in the Bundesliga and remove Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga. Banba kicked from his position.

Early Friday morning, Aldridge came to the training ground to start a new day of work.

Now, the players will not be particularly excited about participating in the Champions League, and will not talk about the opponents in the game with interest.

They are accustomed to facing all the enemies with their ordinary hearts, but today, an unusual sign is still spreading in the team.

The players kept silent while training, their expressions were serious and focused, as if they were all newcomers to the team with their tails together, they dared not make jokes, dared to gossip, and strived to be the "three good players" in the eyes of a coach.

Aldridge is like thanking UEFA.

Thank you so much!

Draw us together with Bayern Munich.

He was originally worried about how to keep the team fighting, not because of the huge advantage of the league and slacking off.

As soon as the UEFA quarter-finals draw result came out, hehe, it was like giving Milwall a stimulant.

At this time, the only founder of the defeat of the Millwall Club in the history of the European War, Bayern Munich!

Good can't be better!

"It seems that everyone did not forget the game last year."

Klinsmann stood beside Aldridge with emotion.

After a lot of battles, he naturally has a memory of losing the ball until the day of his death.

However, it can make a team, everyone invariably memorize the loss, from another perspective, Bayern Munich is also very good.

"At this time, among the top 8 opponents, the best is Bayern Munich, huh, luck."

"Do you think Bayern Munich is the best result? They are very popular to win the championship."

Klinsmann looked surprised.

Aldridge smiled and stopped explaining.

The success of the league's defending is imminent. If the quarter-finals cannot draw an opponent who is absolutely stimulating and fighting, then Millwall is likely to fall off before the UEFA Champions League semi-final start, and then it is too difficult to mobilize. It's like a person who is already sleepy begins to squint his eyes, and no matter how hard he tries, he just struggles with his eyelids.

In the afternoon, Aldridge called Nedved and Ronaldinho for a long time.

In order to prepare for Bayern Munich, this time, Aldridge needs to pre-empt.

In fact, before encountering Bayern Munich last year, Millwall was in a stage of self-change and timely adjustment of posture.

Before that, they were dark horses. Regardless of the strength of the opponents they encountered, they would treat them as an intraday meal.

But when playing Bayern Munich, Heathfield lowered his posture to make Millwall move. Bayern Munich later made a stop, Millwall, or Aldridge, he was a little uncomfortable and used to cracking opponents. How to adjust after being cracked by opponents, he was not fully prepared.

But this year, Aldridge is quickly making up for his shortcomings in coaching ability, so he always expects his opponent to cause trouble for himself. Just like playing chess, he always hopes that his opponent will break the game to hone himself. .

This weekend, Millwall will usher in the challenge of Leeds United at home.

In the first half of the season, before the two teams met, O'Reilly was now high-key and prestigious.

Beat Millwall?

This possibility is never mentioned.

Use a diplomatic rhetoric to deal with the media, such as the team will go all out, as long as the player does his best, he will be satisfied.

Aldridge gave the opponent an 8:0 a few months ago, and now there is no arrogance. He said lightly that it was just an ordinary league.

Millwall only waited to announce the ownership of the league title, but the situation of Leeds United was still caught up in the fierce competition.

In the first two points in the standings, Millwall opened the third place Arsenal by more than 20 points, Manchester United also exceeded Arsenal by more than 10 points, first, second, third, divided into three grades, and the third place The gap between the sixth place points is within 6 points of the two games.

Arsenal, Leeds United, Liverpool, Chelsea, the semi-finals, oh, wrong, it is the semi-finals of the semi-finals with the Champions League qualifiers.

There are only seven rounds left in the league, and the four teams will fall behind if they are not careful.

The good news for Leeds United is that they are not at least ranked sixth, but ranked fourth, even if they lose, they will not fall into the chase of the chaser.

Over the weekend, Aldridge welcomed O'Reilly and his team at the Lion's Cave Stadium.

Today, Millwall sent the full main force to play, regardless of the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals, and the first round was still a guest.

"Milvor's starting lineup is strange today, Andy, did you find out?"

"The main force hasn't changed, do you mean Millwall should send a substitute?"

"No, I mean, Ronaldinho appeared in the midfield and Nedved went to the left."

"Maybe it's just a change of position. Millwall's offensive players often do this and change positions."

"No, Ronaldinho has been active in the front waist area for 20 minutes after the start of the game, and he has not gone to the sidelines."

"But it looks good."

There is a big gap between the player's ability requirements in the side activities and in the middle activities.

So many players can only play the side, because playing the side can ignore one side, one-on-one only need to consider the defensive players on the side of the court.

On the middle road, front and back, left and right, in all directions, if you want to break through one by one or firmly control the ball, the area to be observed will become larger and the ability requirements will become higher.

Ronaldinho can play the midfielder, and it cannot be said to be the first time today, because in the previous game he often swapped with Nedved to create a threat in the midfield area. Today, Aldridge fixed him in the front In the waist position, Ronaldinho is not hoping to make a breakthrough in the middle, he needs Ronaldinho to play more creativity in this area!

And this hand is specifically against Bayern Munich!
