The confidence that has been built up over a long period of time, the confidence and dignity of the team that has been built up, the more adversity the Lions face, the more unwilling they are to retreat!
Even if they are dripping with blood, even if they are dying, they will still rush forward, show their fangs and bite their opponents to death!
On the pitch, the Millwall players were completely furious. They were like crazy lions, constantly attacking and oppressing Inter Milan!
Villas-Boas on the sidelines originally wanted to calmly direct the final stage of the game, but he was confident. f
Just like when Aldrich went to Budapest to attend Puskas' funeral, Villas-Boas temporarily directed a game. At that time, the team easily won the game and everything seemed to be going very smoothly.
But at this moment, Boas' scalp was numb and his head was about to explode!
The scene was completely out of control!
Schneider will definitely convey instructions for tactical adjustments when he comes on the field, but the team's execution is completely different!
Boas even had the urge to retreat and fled the scene.
The pressure was so great that he almost collapsed.
At this time, he finally understood why Klinsmann failed at Millwall four years ago.
Not everyone can control this kingly team that dominates Europe!
In other words, except for Aldridge, even if Villas-Boas appears in front of the players every day and has also appeared on the sidelines, at the really critical moment, Aldridge can make everything full of order here, while anyone else would be just like air.
exist!
On the field, Millwall's players seemed to be going crazy, like De Rossi, who kept attacking back and forth in the midfield like a beast. His ferocious expression allowed everyone outside to guess his inner thoughts at the moment.
"Kill you! Crush you! This is the territory of the mad lion! No one can run wild here! We are the mad lion! We always pursue victory!"
In the 88th minute, Millwall launched a very threatening offensive. Ram made a cross from the left side of the frontcourt. De Rossi and Silva entered the penalty area together, forming a double header attack!
Silva grabbed the point and headed the ball towards Inter Milan's goal!
Cesar made a world-class save!
He swooped in to pluck the ball out of the air from very close range!
The whole audience exclaimed, probably everyone believed that the goal must be scored!
Cesar immediately launched a counterattack after getting up, and Mancini could no longer calm down on the sidelines.
Millwall's frenzied attack was like a gambler who had lost everything and made a final big gamble!
At this time, Inter Milan had a great opportunity to counterattack. The frontcourt was wide and the opponent's defense was too weak.
After Grosso's direct pass from the wing, the ball reached Figo's feet. Figo got rid of Ramos's hot-headed grab on the wing and cut inside the center to advance. At this time, the offensive situation was very difficult for Inter Milan.
favorable.
Nesta and Schneider are the only two defensive players.
In order not to give Millwall more time to defend, Figo decisively sent an overhead through ball. The ball flew diagonally to the right side of the penalty area. The landing point was just where it entered the penalty area.
Adriano got stuck and stopped the ball. In the confrontation with Nesta. Because Nesta had to be wary of Ibrahimovic outside the penalty area, he did not dare to hand over the center of gravity easily. Instead, Adriano had no intention of passing the ball.
The breakthrough has passed!
Single ball!
Buffon decisively abandoned the goal. Adriano took an extra step and was very close to Buffon. He chose to push the ground ball.
Buffon quickly fell down and blocked the ball with his right foot!
The Lions fans roared wildly in the stands, and Buffon blocked the opponent's one-on-one ball!
But the next second, when the ball was blocked outside the penalty area, there was an Inter Milan player in the direction of the roll!
Ibrahimovic!
In front of him, Nesta quickly came to intercept. Ibrahimovic did not give Buffon a chance to get up and return to the goal after falling to the ground. He directly chose to lob a shot from outside the penalty area. The ball jumped up lightly and came from inside.
The ball flew up in front of Nesta, but Nesta did not take off. He knew that he could not change the trajectory of the ball!
Seeing that the ball was flying towards the goal, it was flying to the right side of the goal, and the ball speed was not fast. This situation made all Millwall people despair.
There is only one exception!
Schneider!
He is rushing towards the goal at full speed, trying to save the driver in front of the goal line!
Compared to the craziness of his teammates, Schneider is the calmest!
After all, he came on the scene with tactical instructions. He was supposed to attack from the wing, but when Ramos went up, he could only stay behind and strengthen the defense.
At this moment, all he could see was the ball that was slowly falling into the Millwall goal.
With a firm look in his eyes, Schneider, who kept accelerating as he ran, roared in his heart: Faster, faster! No, we can't let the ball go in! No! Absolutely not!
That is the dignity of the mad lion, the pride of the mad lion!
When the ball was about to cross the goal line, Schneider took the last step and jumped directly, using a volley kick that he was not good at to try to block the ball.
However, even though he was less than 1.8 meters tall and tried his best, his toes still failed to touch the ball, and the ball was less than 10 centimeters higher than his feet!
At that moment, Schneider wanted to use his life to stop the ball from flying into the goal!
The ball fell into the goal.
At the same time, there was a bang!
Schneider's leaping body hit the right post of the goal!
His right calf was slightly twisted and irregular. The place where it collided with the goalpost cracked and blood flowed out...
At that moment, Schneider dug his fingers into the turf, turned his head and looked at the rolling ball in the goal and let out a reluctant roar.
"ah!!!!!"
On the bench, Nedvěd, Larsson, Ronaldinho and other players had their pupils shrunk, and they stood up and rushed into the court, running towards Schneider!
Inter Milan scored!
Adriano rushed towards Ibrahimovic excitedly, planning to celebrate.
However, Ibrahimovic pushed him away hard.
Ibrahimovic stood there and stared in the direction of the goal, watching Buffon, Nesta, and other Millwall players quickly rush to surround Schneider.
He lowered his head.
Once upon a time, when he was playing in the Premier League, the opponent he most hoped to beat was Millwall!
Today, look at the time on the scoreboard. 90 minutes have elapsed.
It should. It will come true.
Even if Millwall can score a goal, Inter Milan will rely on the away goal advantage to eliminate the defending champion, no, the "King of Europe"! End Millwall's dominance of Europe!
But at this moment, Ibrahimovic was not excited at all.
Inter Milan players, including Vieira and Materazzi, were also not excited.
Others who have not played in the Premier League and have not known Millwall up close and for a long time will not understand what this team means to too many outstanding players.
Being able to defeat Millwall would be a great victory! It is glory, proof, and holding your head high as if you have become extraordinary!
But today, such a victory was definitely not what they wanted. Ibrahimovic lowered his head. He did not understand why the game had reached this point, why there was such a situation that even the entire Inter Milan team did not understand.
And now this goal makes him feel shameful!
Can't celebrate...
Ibrahimovic shook his head slightly and walked towards the backcourt. The scene of continuing the game step by step may also become a classic scene of his career, but the deeper meaning may be understood only by himself.
Most of the Lions fans in the stands were holding their heads in disbelief!
The shock of the team being defeated, coupled with Schneider's desperate attempt to save the driver and failing to save him but being injured and falling to the ground, was a shocking scene that made many emotional fans burst into tears.
Millwall does not have a legendary No. 7, but Schneider, who has been wearing the No. 7 jersey since the summer of 1994, is already a legend of the Lions. He is selfless, dedicated, and has a handsome smile. He is loved by fans!
It's not that he took over the glorious No. 7 jersey, but that he made Millwall's No. 7 jersey meaningful!
His courage and behavior of risking his own life to save the life in front of the goal are the best interpretation of the spirit of the mad lion. However, the tearful fans in the stands hoped that Schneider could retreat at that moment and firmly follow the consciousness of neuroprotection.
Slow down!
The stretcher that was supposed to carry Messi was Schneider who ended up lying on it.
When Aldridge saw Schneider being carried into the tunnel on a stretcher and about to be taken to the hospital, Aldridge turned around and punched the cold wall. He gritted his teeth and let out a low sound like a beast.
Roaring, not caring that his hand was also injured...
The expressions of the UEFA officials standing nearby "monitoring" Aldrich became ugly, and they seemed to have lost the courage to look at Aldridge.
Inside the stadium, Villas-Boas had to use up the last substitution, using Nedved to replace the injured Schneider. Inter Milan also began to use substitutions to consume game time.
There are 5 minutes of injury time.
But Millwall's morale has dropped greatly, probably because they witnessed Schneider leaving the field with a serious injury, which made them completely confused.
My mind becomes unclear.
Quite a bit lost, and Inter Milan made substitutions to delay time, and no longer attacked, but completely defended!
Millwall had no chance at all in injury time.
In the end, the game ended with Millwall losing 0:1 at home to Inter Milan and being eliminated from the Champions League.
At the end of the game, all the Millwall players wanted to rush forward to denounce the referee team, but the club staff pulled the players away to prevent them from attacking the referee team.
The players of Inter Milan did not celebrate anything and left quickly under the leadership of Mancini.
When walking into the tunnel, Mancini saw a dizzy Aldridge. He wanted to say a few words of comfort to Aldridge, but Aldridge ignored him and Mancini had to leave.
Countless Lions fans in the stands were in despair, as if their souls had been stripped from their bodies.
Any Millwall fan with some experience has experienced the team's failure.
Millwall, who was also a dynasty ruler and defending champion, was eliminated in the Champions League group stage. They have also experienced this.
But this time is different. The blow this time is extremely heavy!
Because it seemed like someone had killed the most beautiful football in their hearts.
Millwall's ten-year unbeaten record at home in European competition was ended.
The Mad Lion Dynasty has collapsed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
