"Hall used up the last substitution, and Real Madrid also removed a defender and replaced it with a forward. It seems that Hall felt that the game was not safe, and Del Bosque did not give up. There was still time and stoppage time.
3 minutes.”
Aldrich replaced Pedretti, withdrew Ronaldinho, and asked Pedretti to come on and guard the front of the right wing, forming a barrier in front of Schneider.
Now he is not afraid that Real Madrid will play passes and cuts slowly and will not give them space in the backcourt to cooperate patiently. What he is most worried about is that Ballack and Carlos suddenly fired a long-range shot unreasonably, and the shot flew away and became a miss.
It doesn't matter whether it's a sideline kick or a corner kick, but if a long-range shot fails to go out of bounds, it can easily cause chaos.
Even though there were still three minutes left in the game, Aldridge did not relax. In other words, the shock of Bayern Munich losing the championship in the last two minutes last year was still lingering. In a game of this level, top coaches did not dare to completely relax.
Millwall attacked for 80 minutes and started to fight back in the last 10 minutes. Even at Wembley, no Lions fans thought there was a problem with this. Instead, they felt that this was Aldridge's advantage and he did not stubbornly remain unchanged.
All Millwall players and coaches came to the sidelines, whether they were supporting the team or preparing to celebrate their promotion to the final. At this moment, the fans in the stands also stood up. Members of the fanatical fan organization hugged each other and sang and danced.
The atmosphere at Wembley pushed for a new 'gaochao'.
Everyone thought that the last three minutes would be a wild attack by Real Madrid, but in fact, apart from a wave of forward offensive after the kick-off, Real Madrid had the ball controlled by Millwall for the rest of the time.
Millwall took risks and passed the ball continuously in a small area in the backcourt, using running to avoid Real Madrid's crazy siege. When the ball couldn't be passed down and most of Real Madrid's players were pressing very high, Millwall again
A big kick drove the ball forward, and then Real Madrid took the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Millwall grabbed the landing spot and started to kick again...
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Wembley burst into loud cheers.
Most of Millwall's bench players and coaches rushed into the stadium, and the players on the field also clenched their fists and roared passionately.
"4:3, total score 8:6, Millwall defeated Real Madrid with the same score in two rounds. Head high and advanced to the Champions League final of this season. Congratulations to Millwall. This is an amazing achievement. They are second in three years.
They advanced to the Champions League final for the first time, and in the three seasons they entered the Champions League, their worst result was the Champions League semi-finals! Oder
Richie Hall. The young coach who wrote legends. He led the crazy lion of Millwall to create a new history. We are fortunate to witness him in this era presenting us with such a magnificent scene in football. Now, we
We can look forward to what kind of wonderful performance Millwall will have in the final and leave those eternal moments in the green temple."
The noise at Wembley was overwhelming, and Real Madrid's soldiers in white clothes collapsed on the field. Millwall's soldiers ran wildly, hugged and celebrated, and then began to actively exchange jerseys with Real Madrid players.
Nedved and Redondo, Ronaldinho and Raul who just came off the field, Bute and Casillas...
At the moment the game ended, Aldridge suddenly lost the motivation to celebrate. Instead, his whole body felt as if he was exhausted, as if it took a lot of effort to stand still.
Now Millwall is no longer in a state of poverty. With the club's rapid improvement in strength, their record must be guaranteed.
Didn’t the outside world put pressure on Aldridge?
Of course!
This is a team that has been evaluated by the European media as one of the top lineups in Europe. It is the team with the strongest offensive firepower and the most stable state this season.
Although this is a team created by Aldridge, the pressure that comes with it is unavoidable. It is natural to reach the semifinals, and it seems logical to advance to the finals. The strong one should have the last laugh, but if it cannot be done,
It will make people laugh, and the head coach will also become the target of public criticism.
Fortunately, we did it.
Aldridge looked up, his sight reaching from the top of the court to the night sky. The clear night sky was dotted with stars. It was a beautiful scene.
When he withdrew his gaze, the fans in the stands were reluctant to leave for a long time. Millwall, it's time to say goodbye to Wembley. From now on, Wembley will no longer be Millwall's Champions League home ground.
Aldridge walked onto the field, hugged the players one after another, and then lined up neatly with the players and walked to each stand to bow and applaud the fans in the stands.
Thank you for their support over the past two years.
At the same time, Aldridge also thanked the FA in his heart.
The greatest stadium in England, the influence Millwall has created in these two years of European competition, and the fame and attention it has brought are all due to this stadium.
Income is secondary.
When Aldridge led the players out of the field, almost all Millwall players were shirtless and had a Real Madrid jersey draped over their shoulders.
At the post-match press conference, Aldridge arrived late, but all the reporters were waiting for him. No one was restless. On the contrary, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in their hearts.
Aldridge, who is about to turn 24, is about to lead his team to the Champions League final for the second time. This achievement is absolutely unprecedented.
Fleet Street feels that this is the pride of English football, and Aldridge is their greatest asset in contemporary football.
Aldrich seemed to have had his strength drained from his body. While he was relieved, his whole body was filled with a sense of exhaustion.
He appeared with a smile on his face, neither ostentatious nor overly happy, as if he was unfazed by honor or disgrace.
The reporters present congratulated Aldridge and then asked him what he thought of the entire game.
"As you can see, this is a battle between strong players. Millwall and Real Madrid both played very high-quality games. Before the game, some people thought that Millwall's promotion to the final would be an easy matter, but in fact
Yes, when the game started and Real Madrid scored first, the game was always in a stalemate. There was no moment of relaxation and no moment of suspense. Even if Ronaldinho gave us the lead at the last minute
It became two goals, but no one would be surprised if Real Madrid finally came back.
, because the game is like this, fierce and cruel, every second counts, every inch counts, and every opportunity may rewrite the score. This game is very precious to Millwall. It tells our players that victory will not come automatically.
above their heads, on the football field
, what will happen in 90 minutes? Don’t assume, don’t be deceived by illusions, this is very important for us, this kind of experience is not something that ordinary games can provide. I am very proud that we defeated Real Madrid and can play against Europe for the second time
The winner of the Champions League attacks."
...
The two-leg match between Millwall and Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals came to an end.
"4:3, 4:3, 8:6, 180 minutes, 14 goals, Millwall advanced to the final!"
The Times used this headline as its match report headline.
"Millwall and Valencia meet in the Champions League final!"
The Daily Mail began to look forward to the finals.
"Hall looks forward to the Lion Dynasty coming to Europe!"
"The most powerful voice in European football: the roar of a mad lion!"
...
All major media have focused their attention on the prospects for the Champions League final.
At this time, judging from the strength of the team and the tendency of public opinion, Millwall has become the favorite to win the championship.
Even though Valencia eliminated the Spanish giant Barcelona, no one was optimistic about them.
On the contrary, the Spanish media, while cheering for Valencia, also began to disrupt Millwall's preparations.
"AS" published a photo of Ronaldinho shaking hands with Raul after the game. In the photo, Ronaldinho has Raul's white jersey on his shoulders.
The Spanish media began to build momentum, inciting Ronaldinho to put on a noble white jersey and become a member of Real Madrid.
...
After this game, Millwall entered into the rhythm of preparing for the Champions League final.
The club was calm, and the 36th round of the Premier League followed.
Originally, this game would have been exaggerated and filled with smoke and smoke in normal times, but now, this game seems to have no meaning.
Manchester United will face Millwall at Old Trafford.
This season, Manchester United is destined to be the runner-up in the Premier League, but the reason is not that Manchester United performed poorly, and the outside world will not put too much pressure on Ferguson.
He was very calm at the pre-match press conference and said with some helplessness: "There are still three rounds of the league. Manchester United currently has 81 points. In previous seasons, this score would have ensured that we had won the league championship.
Or with three rounds left, Manchester United will definitely have the initiative to win the championship. But as you can see, Manchester United's ranking this season is unlikely to change. We will be the runner-up in the Premier League for four consecutive years. This is
A frustrating result, but I think Manchester United should correctly realize the current situation, first of all, to realize that in order to win the league title in the Premier League now, we have to pay more, and secondly, we should not be discouraged, Millwall
It is the championship, and Manchester United should be full of fighting spirit to compete with it in the future, and if we can defeat Millwall in the future, such a victory may be more valuable than the previous championships, and more worthy of our pride and pride."
Ferguson's "truthful" monologue seemed a bit tragic and desolate.
The last league title the Red Devils won dates back to the first season of Millwall's promotion. In that season, Manchester United won the championship in the last round and Millwall was the runner-up.
In the following four years, Millwall was champion, Manchester United was runner-up, Arsenal was champion, Manchester United was runner-up, Millwall was champion, and Manchester United was runner-up. This season, Millwall successfully defended its title three rounds in advance, while Manchester United, with 81 points in hand, was far behind.
Arsenal, in third place, had a full 18 points, but could still only finish as runner-up.
Millwall's progress in the past two years cannot be ignored. They are 12 points away from last season's Champions League champions. This gap may widen because the league is not over, and they are ahead of last season's Premier League champions Arsenal.
A shocking 30 points!
Apart from points, what else is Millwall extremely proud of?
This season's winning streak, coupled with the end of last season until today, they have created a 45-game unbeaten streak in the league!
Coupled with the outstanding record in the European war in the past three years, Millwall is now only one step away from winning the second Champions League championship in three years. Then, there is no doubt that the entire European football world will no longer doubt that Millwall has started.
A dynasty of an era!
They are dominating European football!
This phenomenon has made English fans very confused.
In the Premier League, they have such a strong team and such an excellent and genius head coach, but why is the England national team about to be torn off the label of a strong team?
