There is no person or thing in the world that will be recognized, praised, and respected by everyone.
Things always have two sides, especially when it comes to people who are complex and changeable.
Beckham is a heartthrob, but the number of people who hate him seems to be just as much as the people who like him.
Millwall is a super strong man and is worshiped by countless people.
But in the same way, the duality of Millwall's image is reflected in the fact that they are liked by the widest and largest number of fans, but they are also hated by the widest and largest number of fans!
After 10 years on the top stage, excluding the first year of survival in English League One, in these 10 years, as a "trophy harvester", Millwall has won as many times as there have been losers, or even losers.
The number increases exponentially, because there is only one winner, and losers are a group in a game where most people compete!
They repeatedly inflict pain on certain teams, leaving their opponents scarred in front of them, and a new encounter is like tearing open old scars, inflicting even more pain on their opponents.
The pain is so extreme that it becomes numb.
This "kingly spirit" or "blue terror" has begun to undergo subtle qualitative changes!
It can be said that the past 10 years have been a quantitative accumulation, and to a certain extent, a qualitative change has occurred.
This kind of situation should not happen, or the probability of it happening should be very slim, because no matter how strong a team is, it cannot compete with time, the players cannot compete with aging, and if the team wants to continue to be strong, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
The last king who could create a similar shock effect, Real Madrid, bid farewell to the Champions League championship for nearly 40 years.
The last highly praised dynasty, the Milan Dynasty, now carefully compares the achievements of AC Milan and Millwall in the same time span. People will feel that the two are no longer comparable.
You can say that AC Milan created the dynasty of that era.
But it’s hard to say: AC Milan and Millwall are both dynasty builders.
Because the dynasty gap created by the two has been obviously widened.
The dynasty will be the representative memory of an era. It may not be obvious now, but when thinking back to the past, most people can only think of Puskas and Di Stefano. But it is difficult to name a few names of their contemporaries.
Beckenbauer, the Three Musketeers of Milan, the Busby Boys, etc., but the history spans nearly half a century. How many generations of players have been submerged in it? It can be left to future generations to remember. In fact, only a few of each era can be recalled.
There are not many, and those who can be remembered are often those who stood at the pinnacle of the era.
This is the fear that Millwall creates for many, many ambitious players. This is one of them.
Because Millwall's transcendent power further highlights their humbleness and insignificance to the times. Maybe twenty or fifty years from now, people in the future may open their mouths and be able to say something about the memories of this era.
The names of Millwall's great players have forgotten those players who were actually very good at the same time but were repeatedly defeated by Millwall in competition!
Losing to Millwall again and again will make them feel more frustrated. When they think about it more deeply, it will weaken their will even more.
AC Milan has not actively tried to change anything. In the final analysis, Millwall is too strong, so strong that with their current strength, they are invulnerable.
Aldridge used the last substitution just as the game was about to enter stoppage time.
Southgate replaces Thiago Silva!
"Millwall has completed a substitution of special significance. Southgate plays for Millwall for the last time! Although there is not much time left for him, it is also a kind of consolation. He will make his final bow here.
.In a few minutes, he will take off the Lions jersey. There is news that Southgate will go to
We are still unable to determine what specific positions the Football Association will hold when taking up the new position. Now, Millwall is in a very good situation, and the fans in the stands can also do their best to express their support and gratitude to Southgate.
, I am grateful for his contribution to the Crazy Lions over the past 11 years, and wish him all the best in his future career and life!"
Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
At this time, a large area of the stands was already empty.
Because AC Milan fans began to leave when the 90th minute came. They left silently with unspeakable pain. They probably also wanted to get drunk, fall asleep, forget everything they witnessed today, and try not to think about this day as much as possible.
.
Millwall won the league and Champions League in May, defending the double crown!
AC Milan lost the league and Champions League in May!
In the stadium, the AC Milan players stood there. They wanted to leave, but they couldn't!
Damn the game, why is it the final?
Why is it a final where people can't hide their pain after losing?
And why is he so cruel that he still stands here to watch the champion receive his award, and why he still stands in the spotlight of the world to receive the meaningless runner-up medal?
Around them, Millwall players were in various shapes. Nedved and Larsson ran towards Southgate, and the three first-generation Lions captains knelt down and hugged each other, as if they had completed a shocking feat!
Yes, they wrote their names into history.
The first in history and the present!
Won the Champions League with the team six times!
Then Schneider and Butt also walked over, and the veterans hugged each other and shouted heartily to freeze this historic moment!
Ram and Silva, who really take the lead and serve as the main players, are playing with the team as the main players this season. They cannot be described as lucky because they have made contributions that cannot be ignored and their roles in the team are increasing day by day. When the season comes
At the end of the season, no one looked at them with the eyes of newcomers, and more worries were eliminated than at the beginning of the season.
Ram and Silva ran around the field excitedly, taking off their jerseys and waving them above their heads, as if they wanted to spread their excitement to the world.
Alonso and De Rossi, the two players who won the championship with the team as the main players for the second time, are more composed than last season. They put their arms around each other and whispered with smiles on their faces, as if they had a faint boss demeanor.
, no matter honor or disgrace.
Even more calm were Ronaldinho and Henry, who were standing in the field with their hands on their hips chatting. I don’t know what they said, Henry smiled particularly heartily, while Ronaldinho seemed to have Latin songs lingering in his ears, and his gestures when speaking,
They all seem to be beating the beat.
Nesta ran to the sidelines. She rushed to the edge of the stands, kissed her girlfriend passionately, and almost had the urge to propose on the spot...
Kaka and Villa chatted with Ronaldo in a suit on the sidelines. Although Ronaldo felt regretful, he still had an excited smile on his face, as if to steal the camera. He deliberately stood on the sidelines with a wider view, and then seemed to
He chatted with Kaká and Villa gracefully like a gentleman, shaking his head and shrugging slightly from time to time, as if to say that he didn't mind missing the final due to injury, and nodding implicitly like a leader from time to time. As if to his teammates.
Appreciated for the performance...
At the end of the game, Aldrich closed his eyes as he calmed down his excitement.
When Nedved scored, he felt cathartic and couldn't restrain himself.
Now, he opened his eyes and walked slowly to the opponent's coaching bench, preparing to shake hands with Ancelotti after the game.
As he walked forward, Ancelotti also walked towards him, and Aldridge suddenly stopped.
Because he saw Ancelotti's eyes and seemed to understand the meaning of his eyes.
Ancelotti didn't want to shake his hand!
Although he was sure that as long as he walked over and extended his hand, Ancelotti would not refuse!
Of course, Ancelotti would not give someone a thumbs-up with a gentle and graceful handshake, causing the global football media to laugh at him the next day for not only losing the final, but also losing his grace.
But what about his heart?
Is he willing to shake Aldrich's hand openly?
No. He doesn't want to!
At least at this moment, when his team was devastated by Millwall led by Aldridge, it was scarred. It was not just as simple as losing a game, but more importantly, it was a mental blow!
Aldridge understood the hidden "sadness" and "indignation" in Ancelotti's eyes.
He stopped and did not walk over again.
If he takes another step, it will be like adding salt to Ancelotti's wounds!
He and Ancelotti are no longer newcomers, and they both understand what the signs shown by AC Milan at the last moment today mean.
That is the end of a peak, and it will be accompanied by a long period of lows!
This is like Millwall suppressing Chelsea in the Premier League this season, and it will have a profound impact on Chelsea's local league competition in the next few years.
For example, in 1999 Manchester United won the Champions League, but in that season and the following season they tried to catch up with Millwall but were suppressed by the Lions and unable to raise their head.
Just like last season, the near-perfect Arsenal was defeated by Millwall at the last minute and suffered a blow!
AC Milan, which won the Champions League in 2003, was destroyed by Millwall in 2005. This will definitely have a major impact on the development of AC Milan in the future.
Aldridge can even predict that after the lack of Kaka, AC Milan, which was originally expected to maintain its peak competitiveness in the next two years, will not appear again. There were doubts before, but now, he is sure!
No one can understand Ancelotti's bitterness!
Looking back eight years ago, in the autumn of 1997, he sat side by side with Aldrich in Nyon, Switzerland. At that time, he was about to compete with Aldrich!
When he left Parma and became the coach of Juventus, he wanted to fight Aldridge!
After leaving Juventus, coming to AC Milan, and reaching the top of the Champions League, his most desired opponent is Aldridge!
When the two finally met on the top stage of the club, eight years had passed!
Eight years is enough for the football circle to turn the sea into a mulberry field!
Aldrich is no longer the young marshal who was simply passionate, simply sharp-edged, purely wild and unrestrained!
Now, Aldrich, standing in front of Ancelotti, displays a temperament called majestic!
Be intimidating to your opponents!
Totally flawless and terrifying!
The pinnacle battle that he and he, the then young marshal, were looking forward to would come eight years later, but Ancelotti hoped that this battle would come sooner, sooner, and sooner!
Perhaps the earlier he is, the more likely he is to defeat Aldridge, just as Aldridge almost "died" at the hands of Silver Fox Lippi and was defeated by Heathfield!
However, time cannot be turned back!
Ancelotti was unwilling, but he had no choice. He just didn't want to face Aldridge at this moment, and he didn't want Aldridge to see the look in his eyes that he might not be able to hide. There must be something gloomy in it.
The light is called "admit defeat". (To be continued)
