"The second leg of the European Champions Cup semi-finals between Monaco and Millwall ended at the end of the match. Monaco lost to Millwall 0:2 at the Louis II Stadium and regrettably lost the opportunity to advance to the final. To objectively evaluate this game, Millwall
Wall's victory was well-deserved. They defeated their opponents through solid defense and sharp counterattacks. Hall once again overcame the difficulties despite being unfavorable from the outside world, miraculously leading Millwall to advance in their first Champions League game.
Europe next month
Champions League final! The opponents of the final were announced yesterday. Millwall will face the Spanish white giant Real Madrid. One is the team that competes in the Champions League for the first time in history, and the other is the club that has won the Champions League six times in history.
The giants Real Madrid and Millwall definitely want to copy the miracle of Nottingham Forest, and Real Madrid will also be full of ambitions to win the Champions League after 32 years away from the Champions League. What kind of sparks will the two teams produce? May 20
No., please wait and see!”
When the game ended, Millwall's substitutes rushed into the stadium. They hugged the main players and celebrated the joy of advancing to the final.
Aldrich took a deep breath, closed his eyes to adjust his mentality, then opened his eyes and strode towards Tigana.
"Congratulations, I'm going to the Netherlands again next month. To be honest, I'm very envious and unwilling, but you have indeed won my heart."
Tigana kept his demeanor and blessed Aldrich with a gentle face.
Aldridge said modestly: "I just have a good hand."
Tigana shook his head and smiled without saying a word. It was clear who won and who lost. There was no need to find reasons to comfort his failure.
Aldridge shook hands with him after the game and turned to look at the court. The running players were excited, while the Monaco players were dejected.
This is almost the same trajectory as last year.
I eliminated my French friends in the semi-finals and then went to the Netherlands to play the finals.
But the venue is slightly different, last year it was Rotterdam, this year it is Amsterdam.
Henry had a conversation with Trezeguet before the game when players from both sides lined up to shake hands.
These two friends, who were partners in the national youth team, each faced this game with the belief that they must win.
"Remember to check your mailbox next month."
Trezeguet said this to Henry before the game started.
Henry was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why?"
"I will send you the tickets for the Champions League final, and also cover the round-trip air tickets from France. You will be responsible for the rest of the food and accommodation expenses."
Trezeguet was brazen. When Henry reacted, Trezeguet was already walking forward shamelessly. Henry turned to him and shouted: "I accepted the ticket. You should keep the ticket to watch the game. Remember to bring it with you."
Get the camera and take a picture of me on the court!"
The conversation between the two made the teammates of both teams couldn't help but lower their heads and smile. When the game started, the players of the two teams were fully engaged and started fighting with real swords and guns...
At the end of the game, Monaco fell. Henry also fell.
He lay on the turf and looked at the night sky, his heart filled with unwillingness. At this time, he was recalling his half-a-way goal in the first round, which particularly made him blame himself.
Why not go faster?
Why?
Any faster and Southgate might not even have a chance to commit a foul, or he might fall in the penalty area and not only give the opponent a red card, but also get a penalty kick!
If Monaco can defeat Millwall away from home in the first round and return to home, they will have a chance of victory. Millwall will be more aggressive in attacking. If Monaco counterattacks, their speed advantage will also have greater room to use!
"Hey, get up, you should go and thank the home team fans. The boss asked us to do this at every home game. This is the tradition of the club, and Monaco should do the same."
Henry opened his eyes and found that Trezeguet was shirtless and bent over and stretched out his hand towards him. He reached out and shook hands with the other person, and then Trezeguet pulled him up from the ground. Henry sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I'm so envious.
You are going to play in the final, and if you are lucky, you can become the Champions League champion."
Trezeguet grinned and said angrily: "What is good luck? If we are lucky, we will be the Champions League champions. If we are not lucky, we will still be the Champions League champions!"
Henry smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know where your confidence comes from. The opponent in the final is Real Madrid."
"We don't care who our opponent is in the final, are we confident? Maybe."
Trezeguet couldn't help but look at Aldridge hugging Butt on the other side of the court.
Henry followed his gaze and locked his eyes on Aldridge's back. That magical young coach who is one year older than him. Oh, no, if he can win the Champions League, he will not be magical, but
Legendary marshal!
He suddenly remembered that his agent had talked to him about Millwall's interest in acquiring him last summer. Although there was no formal negotiation between the club and the club on the table, privately, there had been trials between the two coaches and the agent.
**Few, Monaco rejected Millwall, Tigana did not want to let him leave.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Aldridge pursued him three times. The first time was in the summer of 1994. Wenger refused to let go and Aldridge took Thuram away from Monaco. The second time was half a year later.
Two months after Wenger's dismissal, during the winter transfer window, Aldrich once again asked for Henry, but Monaco refused. The third time was the private communication with Tigana last summer.
Before there was an agent, Henry's information channels were closed, and Aldridge was also known for being low-key in the transfer market. He would never seduce players through media platforms, which would damage the relationship between the clubs, so Mir
Wall's transfer market, whether it's signings or player transfers, is highly mysterious and unpredictable. The media made many speculations as soon as the transfer window came, but they were all far from the truth.
Trezeguet hugged Henry, then turned and walked away with his teammates to thank the fans who came to the away game to cheer them on.
Henry looked at his friend's back with a sense of loss, and his mood suddenly became very complicated.
In terms of football background and background, Henry, who is from Clarefontaine, can be said to be a proud son. Trezeguet, on the other hand, came from playing football in Argentina. Before moving to Millwall, he also played for a low-level grassroots club in Argentina.
However, during his four years at Millwall, Trezeguet's progress has been rapid every year, and his development prospects are very good, because during these four years, he has laid a very good foundation, regardless of his skills, body, or game awareness.
And the championship was obtained, sweeping the domestic competition in England. There was also honor in the European war, and now, it is making great strides towards the club's highest honor...
At the post-game press conference, Aldrich arrived belatedly. Today's victory is of great significance. He stayed on the court with the players for a long time after the game. Now the locker room is already overjoyed.
The French reporters present were in a low mood, but the media from other countries were very excited, and Fleet Street just wanted to celebrate Millwall with flowers!
This is the first time an English team has entered the Champions League final since Liverpool advanced to the final during the Heysel tragedy in 1985!
English football has experienced a five-year ban from the European competition. After the ban was lifted, it stopped in the qualifying rounds and was eliminated in the group stage. Last year, Manchester United entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, and this year Millwall advanced to the final. Such a clear recovery and upward trajectory.
After an absence of 13 years, England finally has a team that can challenge for the highest honor of European clubs!
Some older reporters on Fleet Street couldn't help but sigh with emotion. No one could have imagined that a notorious hooligan team like Millwall four years ago could carry the English flag and show off in the European war.
This also brought back fond memories for them.
Once upon a time, England was the king of Europe. There is no doubt that the English team dominated an era, just like Italy in recent years. From 1975 to 1985, the English team reached the Champions League finals 9 times, winning 7 times and finishing second twice.
, and created an unprecedented six consecutive championships for a English League One team.
In such memories, many Fleet Street reporters became complacent, thinking that England's trough period has passed, and it is time to announce to Europe that England's king is back and rise strongly in Europe again!
The press conference suddenly turned into a debate and mutual ridicule among reporters.
English reporters talked about the Premier League's impact on Europe's top league, as evidenced by the obvious improvement in European competition results, and also pointed out the dominance of English League One teams in the European competition in the previous era.
This was completely unbearable for French journalists.
You guys have won the game and you still want to show off your power here. This is a bit too much.
So they pointed out that Real Madrid had won five consecutive championships and reached the Champions League finals 8 times in 11 years, 6 times champions and 2 runners-up. This is a record created by one team, which is almost comparable to all the European football teams in China and England from the mid-70s to the 80s.
The brilliance created by the team.
Fleet Street reporters retorted: When the Champions League first started in the 1950s, it was an invitational tournament plus a friendly match. Real Madrid, which had won five consecutive championships, even if the championship in 1966 was added, it was indeed remarkable just by the number of trophies, but
What happened next? In thirty years, they only participated in one final and lost to Liverpool. In the past thirty years of European football history, Real Madrid? Sorry, that was just a La Liga giant, the second best.
French reporters and English reporters were at loggerheads. Other reporters watched the show and found today's press conference particularly interesting. The news actually came from their colleagues.
Aldrich didn't say a word. When the two parties were arguing, he took advantage of a gap and asked: "Can I leave?"
"No! Mr. Hall, what do you think?"
No one wanted Aldrich to stay out of the situation and wanted him to express his opinion.
Aldrich glanced at the press officer at the scene, who seemed unwilling to let him go, even though the designated time had already passed.
He had no choice but to say: "I have a friend who loves beauty. When she was a child, when summer came, she saw the new dress in the window of a fashion store and thought it was very beautiful. She liked it very much, so she kept saying to me: If I wear that dress
How beautiful this dress will be. I said to her at the time: But you haven’t put it on yet. Later, I bought the dress and gave it to her. After she put it on, I said to her: You put it on.
It is indeed beautiful. Goodbye, gentlemen."
Aldrich stood up and left.
There was silence at the scene. After about half a minute, the voices of reporters from various countries lowering their heads and snickering gradually came out and became louder and louder.
The reporters in Fleet Street were livid.
Damn it, Aldrich, turn your elbows out!
This young marshal is so abominable, he always teaches people in roundabout ways.
Isn’t it just a satire on the delusions of Fleet Street journalists?
Reporters from other countries nodded. This young marshal is a man who understands: If you don’t get the honor, you are so proud!
Aldridge actually doesn't dislike Fleet Street's sometimes arrogant nature. Originally, the voice they represented was that of England, and it was in line with the national characteristics. They were sullen and arrogant. After 13 years of depression, they became ill. Suddenly they could vent their anger. Naturally, it was too much.
, there is nothing to blame.
But he needs to stay awake. At the same time, it is also true that the Premier League is rising strongly, but it is still far from being able to impact the first league.
Now is still a stage of catching up. When the concept of truly having a strong impact and dominance on Europe will be realized, it will not be until seven years later in the original history. In the eight years after 2004, it will advance to the top eight and semi-finals of the Champions League.
The Premier League team has the most number of finals, although
Although Barcelona has won three championships on its own, the strength of the Premier League is obvious to all. At that stage, Europe also entered a mode of creating a modern super team. The core factor that changed the pattern of the old era was only
A: money.
Millwall led by Aldridge has changed history, but he also knows that Millwall cannot represent the strength of the entire Premier League. He only used his foresight to build a super team in advance, and does not represent the level or competition of the entire Premier League.
The force has reached a level of qualitative change.
When boarding the bus to the airport, the seat next to Aldrich had always been occupied by Jenson, but today it was taken by Yiwen. She gritted her teeth and whispered to Aldrich in a sinister voice: "You have a friend who loves stinking beauty.
? Why don’t I remember!”
After saying that, she stepped on Aldrich's feet mercilessly... (To be continued...)
