At the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, the scene entered a tense atmosphere. Fans from both sides stood in the stands and prayed for the team: Never lose another goal!
With less than 3 minutes left before the end of the 90th minute of the game, the two teams entered a strange "peace state" because everyone had concerns: if they were attacked and counterattacked, conceding the ball at this time would be a thunderbolt.
Hit!
If it goes into overtime, no matter what, the game time will be 30 minutes.
Under such circumstances, both teams did not invest the majority of their forces to press the attack, and relied on individual combat to try their luck. If anyone suddenly performed unexpectedly, it would be equivalent to winning the jackpot.
However, the defense of the two teams refused to become the background for individual heroism. After that, both sides neutralized the opponent's offense, and the 90-minute game came to an end at the referee's whistle.
"Unfortunately, after Millwall equalized the score, we did not see a more threatening offensive from the two teams. In the last ten minutes, the two teams each made substitutions, and after the substitutions, the two sides entered a
In a conservative state, everyone is afraid of losing the ball and being defeated by the opponent. Now we can only wait for the start of overtime to see how the two teams perform in overtime."
There will be a ten-minute break before the start of overtime. The first thing Aldrich needs to confirm is the physical condition of the players. At this moment, the whole team's thoughts are on one place: the trophy!
Therefore, there is no benefit in hiding one's condition, and it will hinder everyone's dreams from moving forward.
Capdevila couldn't hold on any longer. He went straight up and down the left wing for 90 minutes and was on the verge of exhaustion. Schneider on the other side was slightly better because he didn't dare to rush too hard. In other words, he
It was suppressed by Carlos.
Aldridge first made the substitution, replacing Capdevila with Gianluca Zambrotta.
Afterwards, he had only one sentence of encouragement to the team: take away the Champions League to reward himself for working hard for a season!
Yes. Aldridge didn't say anything about dedicating the trophy to the fans, the audience, and XXX. He told them straightforwardly, win and reward yourself!
Rather than letting them pursue great and lofty goals at this time, it is better to be selfish and realistic.
Winning the Champions League is like being plated with gold!
This set of honest words was very helpful to the players. They nodded and rested as much as possible, while the masseurs beside them were so busy that they were dizzy.
When overtime started, Millwall made a substitution. Aldridge took off his suit jacket and stood on the sidelines, wearing a tie with his hands on his hips. His muscular figure made him look particularly heroic.
In the VIP box of the stadium, Arthur looked down at the stadium with a nervous look on his face. His tie was loosened and tilted. He seemed unaware because his nervousness made the atmosphere in the entire box become depressing.
Andrew and Barnett stood beside Arthur, one on the left and one on the right. No matter who spoke to Arthur, he seemed to be obsessed and couldn't listen, his eyes always staring at the court.
Aldridge's little nephew Bowen also stood up wearing a Millwall jersey. He was the only one in the box with the same expression as Arthur, worried about Millwall and worried about the trophy that was within reach.
Aldrich's sister-in-law and Rowling, who was invited to watch the game today, could only sit beside them without saying a word. Jessica followed suit and ran to Bowen's side, but she might not be able to understand today's game.
meaning.
Most of the fans in the stands felt the same way. At the beginning of the game, everyone was still calm, but when the game time was running out and the moment when the result was announced was approaching, they couldn't be calm anymore.
The referee blows the whistle. Overtime begins!
Real Madrid started a fast break, Millwall successfully defended, and they also played fast after switching from defense to attack!
The two teams have entered a fast rhythm again. It seems that Aldridge and Heynckes have the same idea: fight!
Millwall no longer has an advantage in physical fitness, and now they are fighting hard with a persistent belief.
Real Madrid gradually formed a ball control advantage in the midfield, while Millwall adjusted to quickly advance and attack from the side. Zambrotta just came on the field and sprinted up and down with no problem. Ballack focused more on defense and advanced forward at the right time during the attack.
.
The two teams that were back and forth between offense and defense both played very threatening offense.
Kalumbu cooperated with Redondo and handed the ball to Raul in the frontcourt. However, Raul missed the ball and passed through Makelele's defense. Mijatovic wanted to repeat the same trick and half-turned
The ball was met with an overhead pass. Helguera headed the ball ahead of Suker, but he exerted too much force and seemed to have strained his leg. After landing, he made a substitution signal to the sidelines.
Aldrich's only remaining substitution spot now has a place to use. Although he does not want to let Helguera off the field, it is very disadvantageous to adjust the personnel of the defensive line at this time, especially the central defender position.
But the situation was such that he did not complain, but quickly asked Materazzi to put on his jersey and play, and gave Materazzi a few words before going on the field.
"Millwall used their last substitution. This was a passive substitution. The situation looked very unfavorable to Millwall. Helguera performed well in this game, defending solidly and assisting Larsson to equalize the score.
One goal, this is probably the epitome of his performance at Millwall this season. The central defender combination formed by him and Southgate is reassuring. Before him, this position was Stam, but now, Millwall
The fans have probably forgotten about Stam and won’t miss the Dutchman at all.”
As Helgra limped off the field, he said to Aldridge with regret on his face: "Boss, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize to me. You've already done a great job. Can you still insist on watching the game?"
Helguera felt that he could not persist in the game, but he was treated by the team doctor after the game and was fine for watching the game.
After he nodded, Aldrich patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then just watch from below, cheer for your teammates, and get ready to go on stage to receive the award later!"
Helgra smiled after hearing this. Aldridge's confidence affects every player in the team. Through his confidence, he infects the players and makes them confident. They can stand tall no matter what opponent they face.
Waist plate!
It was a very bad change for the central defender to go off injured. But Millwall changed the score before the end of the first half of overtime!
After the overtime started, Schneider stayed at the full-back position until the 103rd minute. He saw that the first half of overtime ended with 1 minute left. At this time, he chose to rush forward, as long as it was not immediately
A counterattack after being beaten by the opponent. Then after he rushes forward, he may end up with the referee's whistle.
He went forward to assist, and Ballack also distributed the ball to the right wing at the right time. Facing Carlos, Schneider pretended to pass the ball and passed it to Shevchenko, and then ran along the side path.
, thus taking Carlos away.
After receiving the ball, Shevchenko also made a feint pass. Sanchis's center of gravity deflected, and Shevchenko immediately dribbled the ball past him, and then changed the line and cut straight into the penalty area.
Sanchis's hatred was overwhelming. In the previous 100 minutes of the game, the Ukrainian had never tried to break through with the ball, catch and pass, or catch and pass. They were all cooperating with teammates or running and cutting by themselves!
I never expected that he would suddenly come like this!
When Shevchenko dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he observed the situation in the middle. Redondo ran back to the penalty area to fill in. Shevchenko turned his head to observe and confused everyone, because Trezeguet and Larsson also
As they opened up space to move, both Hierro and Redondo thought Shevchenko would pass the ball. However, the Ukrainian accelerated again and actually dribbled the ball to the top corner of the small penalty area alone!
Scammed!
This guy wants to go it alone!
Shevchenko's one-on-one power has already been formed. He looks at the ball at his feet with firm eyes. Irgena is attacking. His kick will be a golden opportunity.
It has been three years since he came to Millwall. In three years, he has gone from a dazed youngster who suffered a bloody blow in his debut to a hot striker in Europe. The transfer agreement with AC Milan has basically been reached. Know "qingren"
Just him, Aldridge and AC Milan.
Neither his teammates nor the fans knew that this game would be his last game for Millwall!
Thank you, boss, for still letting me play and trusting me!
It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Millwall, but AC Milan. That was my childhood dream!
I have to leave something here, leave something, leave something...
BOOM!
"Shevchenko volleyed hard against the goal from close range! Ilgona had no reaction. The ball was too fast, unimaginably fast. The ball flew past Ilgona's head and went straight into the top corner of the goal! Milvo
Ireland took the lead again at the end of the first half of overtime and now they lead 3:2.
Real Madrid first! Only 15 minutes left to win the first European Champions League in the club’s history, and only 15 minutes away from the myth of winning the Champions League for the first time! Millwall, the devilish lion
, can Europe be crowned king in 15 minutes?!!!!!”
Aldridge shook his head left and right on the sidelines to watch the ball. Because his line of sight was blocked by players on the court, he had to look left and right to find his line of sight. He didn't see how Shevchenko kicked off, but he saw the ball flying.
The process of popping out after entering the goal.
The goal made everyone in Millwall go crazy. Aldridge clenched his fists and roared ferociously.
"Damn, this ball is so beautiful! Andre is awesome!"
Jenson rushed over and hugged Aldrich. In his hometown, and on the territory of Ajax, although he appeared here as an assistant coach, it was impossible for him to set foot on this stadium four years ago.
Today's game made him excited. He was even more excited than Aldridge. He rushed to the sideline and waved his arms in celebration.
After Shevchenko scored, he rushed to the stands of the Lions fans. Before that, he had already taken off his jersey, and then came to the sidelines on a slide. His expression was very strange, he seemed to be laughing and crying. People who didn't understand probably thought he was
It's caused by excitement.
In the box, Arthur knelt down directly, raised his fists in the air and roared "Long live Millwall"
Everyone else in the box was shocked.
Although Andrew and Barnett are also happy. They have been Lions fans since they were young, but as they grow older, they really can't express their inner feelings as Arthur can without hesitation. Perhaps, growing up, they have learned to pretend.
.
The first half of overtime ends quickly. Generally speaking, there is no rest time, but the referee will be reasonable and allow the players on both sides to take a drink and rest for a minute or two.
Aldridge was about to change his strategy at this time. He took out the tactical board and told the players their positions. The team was going to play a 451 formation, with both wingers retreating and five midfielders, a very thorough defensive tactic.
As long as they hold on to the last 15 minutes, Millwall will reach the top of Europe!
