When Juventus restarted the game, there were only 40 seconds of injury time left in the game, but the referee would definitely make up a little more time as appropriate.
Aldrich doesn't care about this aspect, as long as it's not exaggerated for more than 2 minutes, he can accept it.
Now the situation on the court has completely reversed.
Especially in terms of mentality.
Millwall scored a goal and their momentum was high. Juventus conceded a goal in stoppage time. This blow was like thunder.
The most important thing is that Millwall is not afraid of losing the ball now. Even if it does, the worst thing will be overtime. If Juventus cannot score in the last remaining time, they will definitely be out.
Juventus' formation at the kick-off was more like a rugby ball. Except for the goalkeeper, the other players lined up in the middle line to prepare for a sprint. When Inzaghi kicked the ball to Del Piero, all the Juventus players
Running wildly towards the front court.
Millwall is a sweeper + four defenders + four defensive midfielders + a single forward in a contracted position to protect the goal tightly.
Zidane took the ball in the middle and waited. When the Juventus players rushed to the opponent's penalty area, he lifted the ball directly into the penalty area with his big foot. The ball landed well, near the penalty spot, and there were players from Juventus.
He went to fight for it, but it was Bute who was faster. He chose to attack, then jumped high and hit the ball out of the outside. He was well prepared and consciously punched the ball into the area on the right where there was no Juventus player.
.
Ballack rushed to receive the ball and then controlled the ball on the spot. When the Juventus frontcourt players rushed like wolves, he chose a through ball on the ground.
Larson caught the ball and rushed forward. It was almost a one-shot ball. However, Juventus's extremely strong defenders quickly rushed back. Larson was exhausted and could not rush forward. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
When he was about to be overtaken when he was getting closer, Larson wisely chose to use moderate force to kick the ball out of bounds near the baseline.
It took a lot of time just for the ball to slowly roll out of the sideline. Peruzzi tried his best to chase it but couldn't catch it. Then when he got the ball outside the boundary and was about to serve the throw-in, he had to wait for the Juventus players to come back to respond.
.
After receiving the foul ball, Pesotto turned around and kicked forward again, but Nedvěd grabbed the ball and made a clearance. Larsson received the ball again. Then he stopped rushing and kicked directly.
After the goal, Peruzzi served the ball from the sideline, and the Juventus goal was empty.
However, the distance was too far, and Larsson's long-distance lob was a bit too far.
When Peruzzi ran back to the goal and took the goal kick, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
"The second leg of the European Champions League quarter-finals came to an end at the Stadio Alpi. Millwall from England drew 1:1 away from Juventus with a winning goal before the end, with a total score of 3

, we can also see their wonderful performance.”
When the game ended, all Millwall players were relieved and then excitedly celebrated today's hard-won victory.
Southgate knelt down and raised his arms and roared, Schneider was so tired that he lay down on the turf, closed his eyes and showed a smile that made women intoxicated. Larson squatted on the court and suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of bitter water. Pirlo was replaced.
After he got off, he had been standing on the sidelines, but now he sat down, supporting his body with his hands behind his back, panting but smiling happily.
...
Aldrich temporarily suppressed the uncontrollable excitement in his heart and walked over to shake hands with Lippi calmly. Lippi encouraged him a few words in his ear, then patted him on the shoulder and left first. Aldridge happily accepted the offer.
Blessings and praises, he then walked back to the court, with the camera next to him following him, recording his every word and deed.
Aldridge, who has not celebrated passionately for a long time, gave the press another classic scene today. It was a moment when he acted out of emotion and could not use reason to drive his actions.
Aldridge first walked to Larson. The team doctor was checking his condition. Aldridge smiled and asked: "How is it? Do you need a break?"
Larsson is just overtired. Millwall's tactics originally require offensive players to retreat on a large scale. Larsson has been doing a good job conscientiously, so his running distance has always ranked second in the team. The first is
Nedved.
"Oh, I won't miss the semi-finals and finals."
Larsson replied weakly, and Nedved came over and helped him up. The two hugged and advanced to the semi-finals. They were one step closer to conquering Europe!
Pirlo was also dragged up by Materazzi, while Gattuso opened the caps of two bottles of mineral water and poured water on Pirlo's head behind him.
Aldrich walked up to Schneider, bent down, patted his chest, and asked, "How do you feel?"
Schneider sat up and said: "My whole body seems to be falling apart. Boss, who are we playing in the semifinals?"
Aldrich shrugged and smiled: "I don't know, whoever he is."
Schneider laughed and nodded: "Yes, no matter who he is, no one can stop us from reaching the finals."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, no one can stop us from taking the trophy home!"
...
After all the team members had recovered from the fatigue of the high-intensity game, they all stood together and went to the sidelines to thank the fans.
Only then did Aldrich notice that there were only about a thousand Lions fans scattered in the stands, and the seats that were available before the game were all for visiting team fans.
It's strange. There are more than 2,500 away tickets officially sold. In addition, some scattered fans will buy tickets on the black market. There should be at least 3,500 fans of the visiting team attending today.
Aldridge suppressed the doubts in his mind and joined hands with his teammates to thank the visiting fans in the stands.
Some of these crazy Lions fans cried with joy, some kept applauding, and some kept cheering.
They witnessed a great game. Although it was not entertaining enough, it was heart-warming enough. Millwall worked tirelessly to attack when the score was behind, and the team's persistence was rewarded.
The Wild Lion Millwall has entered the semi-finals. As long as they defeat two more opponents and three games, they will dominate Europe!
When it was all over, the players went back to the locker room to pack their bags, and Aldridge went to attend the post-game press conference.
The English journalists were really proud today. Millwall lived up to their expectations and carried the banner of England. They eliminated their opponents and advanced at home to the Italian champions, known as the world's first league. This was a difficult victory.
But it was also a great victory.
Italian reporters were rather depressed. Parma was eliminated in the group stage, Juventus fell before the semi-finals, and Italy's Champions League this year is over.
For six consecutive years, the Italian team has finally reached the Champions League final. This year's momentum was ended by Millwall. To put it more broadly, in the past nine years, the Italian team has only missed one Champions League final, including this year.
In the past ten years, the Italian team has reached the finals 8 times, which is also a remarkable achievement and proves the dominance of the Serie A team in the European competition.
There were no swords or swords in the post-match interview. Aldridge was calm and calm. He eliminated Lippi's team and did not show contempt for the opponent. Instead, he praised Juventus and Lippi and admitted that his team won because of will and luck.
, it was the players’ belief in winning that determined the outcome of the game in the end, and Lippi was respectable, but he was still far away from the opponent.
It is well known that his humble attitude has won the favor of the Italian media.
During the game, everyone who watched it would not think that Millwall won with an overwhelming advantage, or that they did not have much advantage at all. The goal at the last moment did have an element of luck. Juventus had two absolute advantages.
If you fail to seize the best opportunity, this is the turning point of the game.
Aldrich answered the questions that could be summarized and commented on this game as usual. When faced with the question about looking forward to the semi-finals, he smiled.
"When you advance to the semi-finals by eliminating an opponent like Juventus, your confidence will be greatly boosted. At the same time, you will also see the shadow of the championship trophy. The opponent in the semi-finals will come out tomorrow. Is it Monaco or Manchester United?
I don't really care, because no matter who the opponent is, we will go all out to try to reach the final. My team is young, but because it is young, we need to win through trophies.
Prove yourself! I believe Millwall has reached the top level in Europe, but this level is not at an absolute height. Like us and Juventus, I think there is a gap between the two, but it is not big.
The situation also exists between us and the other top four teams. This will be a contest between the strong, but no one can win easily. You can't defeat your opponent without making extra efforts!"
"Then Millwall will focus on the Champions League next, but the team is only in third place in the Premier League. Has it given up defending the title?"
That's a question from a Fleet Street reporter.
On this occasion, at the press conference arranged by UEFA, reporters from other countries did not care much about news about the Premier League.
Aldrich answered the question anyway.
"The energy of the players is limited. I cannot hypocritically say that it is impossible for the players to distribute their energy and physical fitness evenly to keep the league and the Champions League at the same level. We will try our best to play the Champions League well, and maybe we can perform well."
The level of 90 points is exceeded, but if averaged, it can be
We can only score 70 points. The league is not over yet, and we have encountered difficulties with a dense schedule. However, the club will maximize its use of resources in this difficult situation and deal with the next schedule reasonably and appropriately. I firmly believe that there is still hope for defending the league title.
But Millwall didn't take the initiative."
The answer to this question can be regarded as sincere. Millwall is lagging behind in points and ranked third, so of course they have no initiative.
After the press conference, Aldrich boarded the bus with his team members and prepared to go to the airport to leave Turin.
But just after he got on the bus and took out his mobile phone, he found a lot of missed calls and text messages. After reading the text messages, he immediately asked the bus to stop. He got off the bus alone and took a taxi to Turin.
of police station.
It's strange that Brady, Fred, Sol and a group of Roar fans were imprisoned in the police station... (To be continued...)
