Ronaldinho, who scored twice, rushed to the visiting team's coaching bench and invited Aldridge to dance a samba dance with him.
Aldrich laughed and pushed his head, naturally refusing.
The players who rushed out from the bench, plus the players on the field, surrounded Ronaldinho in the center. Under the watchful eyes of the Bernabeu audience, Ronaldinho danced a signature samba on the pitch to celebrate his goal.
ball.
This is not an insult to Real Madrid, it’s just that individuals have different ways of celebrating after scoring a goal. Some players roar, some use POSE. When Ronaldinho gets high, he dances to express his happiness.
come out.
Millwall lacks South American players, or in other words, few black players. Therefore, most European players do not have Ronaldinho's unique talent in terms of rhythm. Whenever Ronaldinho dances the samba, other teammates are watching with smiles.
, although they did not participate in Ronaldinho's dance, they could feel the joy that this Brazilian young man brought to them, especially when combined with the passion after scoring a goal. This joy gave everyone a unique sense of accomplishment, as if victory and
Achievements are full of poetry.
After Ronaldinho's celebration, Aldridge clapped his hands and warned the players not to relax. There are still ten minutes left in the game. The most basic requirement is not to concede the ball!
4:2
If this score ends the first round, in the next round in London, Aldridge has absolute confidence to lead Millwall to the Champions League final this season. As for who the opponent will be, no matter who he is!
Del Bosque finally made a change.
He used substitutions to adjust his formation and change his style of play.
He didn't adjust at 2:3 because Aldridge made the adjustment first. On the surface, he weakened the midfield defense, but in fact he used offense to replace defense. After taking control of the midfield, he used offense to suppress Real Madrid, forcing their front line to be disjointed.
, which led to errors in passing and receiving, and Millwall scored another victory.
Bosque replaced Anelka, who lacked highlights in this game, with Ballack to strengthen control in the middle. At the same time, Helguera was fixed in the midfielder position. In this way, Helguera, Redondo, and Barca were formed.
Lack suppressed Millwall's Makelele Pirlo and Nedved.
After Ballack came on the field, the energetic German brought an immediate impact to Real Madrid. At least in the middle of the midfield, Millwall's defensive pressure and offensive resistance were greatly improved. At the same time, Ballack was strong.
The confrontational ability makes Nedved and Pirlo, who are not as physically capable as him, have to avoid his defensive impact when attacking.
"Real Madrid now seems to be in control of the situation on the court again, and the offense is revitalized. With Ballack as a helper, Redondo can not only stabilize the defense. He can also provide stability when attacking and deliver cannonballs to the forward players.
, Bosque should have played this way long ago. Although Redondo is very good, he is the only one in the middle of the midfield in the starting lineup. He is required to both defend and attack. He is at a disadvantage against Millwall. This is normal.
.”
The commentator started with hindsight.
Maybe many Real Madrid fans at the scene also think so. Now it seems that Real Madrid is playing the right football.
If Real Madrid ends up losing the game, Del Bosque will definitely be questioned about this, but there are no ifs in football, only results.
There is only one truth: winning is everything.
If you lose, no matter how you prepare for the game or make adjustments during the game, you will be criticized. This is the football circle, and even defending will be a sin for the loser.
Aldridge has already asked Gattuso and Gronzal to warm up.
But just as he was preparing to make substitutions to deal with the new situation, something changed on the field in the 84th minute of the game.
Ballack dribbled the ball through Pirlo's defense. Pirlo's physical fitness began to decline and he could not stop the German's impact. Ballack handed the ball to Raul on the line of the penalty area in front of the penalty area.
Since the opponent withdrew a forward, as long as several Real Madrid players did not suddenly insert into the penalty area from the wing during a certain offensive period, Millwall's defensive numbers were not at a disadvantage. At the same time, Real Madrid was also afraid of Millwall's counterattack.
Los assisted, but Salgado stayed in the backcourt to prepare for Ronaldinho's impact.
Therefore, Raul has Makélélé on the defensive side, marking him closely!
Southgate kept an eye on Ballack's forward path, Morientes was stared at by Materazzi, and McManaman was blocked by Zambrotta's inward path.
Raul was well aware of Makelele's strong stealing ability, so he played a trick the moment he touched the ball. He directly picked up the ball with his toes and took it into the penalty area, hoping to suddenly get rid of Makelele without stopping the ball.
Lay's defense.
Others rushed into the penalty area, but the ball did not go through. The ball was picked up and hit Makelele. Raul was stunned for a second and immediately raised his hand to the referee to signal Makelele for a handball foul!
The referee's whistle also sounded at the same time, and Makelele was penalized for a handball foul.
Indeed, the ball hit Makelele's arm, and Makelele's arm left his body slightly, but he did not open it actively.
When Aldrich saw this penalty on the sidelines, he was only slightly nervous and frowned.
A set kick was given to the opponent, and it looked like it was on the line of the penalty area.
But his expression suddenly changed.
"The referee awarded a penalty kick! A penalty kick! The referee believed that Makelele's handball foul was in the penalty area! Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay immediately. Well, this ball is difficult to define. We can clearly
See, Makelele just stepped on it with both feet
It's on the line of the penalty area, so his handball may be inside the penalty area or outside the penalty area. We don't have a better angle to replay it. This ball is like an offside penalty within a few millimeters, and the referee has the final say.
A penalty was awarded to Real Madrid!”
Even the Real Madrid players were stunned for a second, then clenched their fists and waved them with determination.
Raul was the closest to the scene of the incident. He subconsciously just reminded the referee Makelele of the handball and did not notice whether it was inside or outside the penalty area.
Aldrich was so far away that it was impossible to determine whether it was a penalty kick, but he still walked to the fourth official and solemnly said: "My player did not handball intentionally, he was a hitter. And it is not obvious that he did not
The active intention of the foul, in such a sensitive area, we can calmly accept the referee's award of a free kick on the penalty area line, but a penalty kick. Do your refereeing team want to be the focus? Do you want to make headlines?"
The fourth official turned his head and covered his mouth with a serious face to explain to Aldrich.
Now Aldridge is not a nobody. He is not someone who was ignored when communicating with referees in European competitions. If he lashes out at a referee at a press conference, even if he will be punished, the reputation of the referee will not be affected.
There will definitely be negative impacts.
And there is nothing excessive about what Aldridge said. If there is no controversy, Millwall will admit that it is definitely in the penalty area. But in a controversial and sensitive area, a foul is awarded and a penalty kick is awarded.
It’s really unreasonable!
Before the fourth official could explain anything to Aldridge, a scene broke out on the court that gave Aldridge a headache.
After being awarded a foul, Makelele hugged the ball and appealed to the referee, repeating twice, three or four times that the ball hit his arm. He thought that his arm was close to his body, but no.
It should be a foul, he didn't expand the defensive area.
The referee not only ignored him, but also awarded a penalty kick. Makelele immediately became furious.
If Real Madrid were to get a penalty kick at this time and score it, it would be hard to say in the last few minutes of the game.
The referee ignored his appeal again, and Makelele angrily smashed the ball on the ground.
The referee was right in front of him. The ball bounced on the ground and flew past the referee, startling him. Then, the referee's expression also changed, and he was obviously angry.
The incident happened suddenly. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Southgate immediately rushed forward and reached out to gently hold the referee's hand in his pocket. He began to plead for Makelele, telling the referee that the move just now was not directed at him, but that the player was under pressure.
The next vent.
Materazzi also stepped forward to pull Makelele away, but Makelele had already exploded, loudly criticizing the referee's decision. The posture was like a small volcano.
Even the Real Madrid players came over to persuade Makelele. Raul and Helguera asked Makelele to calm down as much as possible. This is something that the Millwall players admire. Helguera may just have played for Millwall.
Raul, who is a former teammate with Makelele, showed a kind of court demeanor.
They could just sit back and watch Makelele explode, or fan the flames to make the situation worse, but surrounded by Raul, Helguera, Nedved, and Materazzi,
Makelele finally calmed down.
But Southgate's plea for Makelele on the other side was ineffective, and the referee still decisively showed Makelele a red card.
Makelele turned away expressionlessly.
After the referee showed the red card, Southgate applauded the referee and gave a thumbs up.
The referee showed Southgate another yellow card.
Southgate didn't care, and turned around to face the less than 5,000 Lions fans in the visiting team's stand, waving his arms up and down, and the Bernabeu suddenly reverberated with singing.
"No one likes us, it doesn't matter!"
The Lions' anthem rang out from the stands of the Bernabeu and reached the sky...
When Makelele walked to the sidelines, someone from the referee staff was already preparing to supervise his departure, but he stopped and lowered his head.
He couldn't face the man on the sidelines.
When he came to the Bernabeu, his boss tried his best to help the team get a good situation of 4:2, but he failed to help the team at the last moment, making the game full of variables.
He was sent off with a red card and will be suspended for the next game. How much impact will it have on the team?
Last year, he fell in the semifinals. This year, Makelele doesn't want to have any regrets, but he is afraid that his red card will become the creator of regrets.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder, and soft words came to my ears.
"You performed well today, Claude, go back to the locker room, take a shower, wait for us, and then go home together."
Makelele's lowered head still did not rise, but he took steps and passed Aldrich.
The fourth official came over and asked, "Do you want to replace someone?"
I wonder if the fourth official was reminding Aldrich out of comfort.
Substitution, of course, substitution.
But, it's definitely not now.
Aldridge did not watch the penalty kick and turned to walk to the coaching bench. As he walked, cheers rang out at the Bernabeu. Raul scored the penalty kick in one go and the score became 3:4.
At this time, Aldridge asked Gattuso to complete the substitution, and then asked Gronchar to return to the bench.
When Makelele was sent off with a red card, Klinsmann asked all the substitutes except the goalkeeper to warm up. At this time, Aldrich called Neal in front of him and began to assign him tasks after coming on the field.
Before Millwall's restart, Gattuso came on to replace Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho also understood the intention of the substitution at this time, so he slowly walked from the other end of the court to the sidelines. The referee stepped forward to urge him, but Ronaldinho ignored the opponent and acted as if he heard nothing.
If you have the guts, you, mother, show me your cards!
The referee really didn't dare to take out any more cards.
This substitution was delayed for about 20 seconds. Gattuso came on and took over Makelele's position.
A minute later, Millwall made another substitution, using up the last spot.
Neal comes on, Pirlo comes off.
Nedved retreated, Klose retreated, Millwall changed to 4311, and all players shrank and defended in the second half.
