Thanks to "Thieves", "Shimadzu" and "Laibrari" for the rewards!
----------------------------------
On the eve of the European Champions Cup final, Ivan took Rosie to Paris, where they went shopping on Boulevard Haussmann, showing off their feminine nature crazily, and even went for a beauty treatment in the evening.
Women, they have a lot of clothes, but they always feel that they have nothing to wear. They already have a good figure, but they still feel imperfect. No matter whether their face is ugly or beautiful, they are not beautiful enough in their eyes.
The day after Millwall won the FA Cup, the whole team got on a plane and flew to Paris. There were still three days before the final, one day to rest, one day to prepare, and the last day, the decisive battle!
When he is about to enter the Champions League final for the second time, Aldridge is much more relaxed. The team has played many finals in recent years and won the championship softly. Regardless of the age of the players, at least the mentality can calmly cope with the tension on the eve of the war.
Despite the pressure, the team has been steadily preparing for the game since arriving in Paris without any trouble.
Media from all over Europe came in droves. At the press conference before the Champions League final, Aldridge talked freely and looked completely stress-free.
"Of course, of course, we are here for the championship trophy. No one will be satisfied with the runner-up in the final. Triple crown? We have achieved the triple crown before. If we can replicate it this year, it will indeed be greater than the last time.
, my players are ready for this moment."
When he was asked about the impact that Klose and Makelele could not play on the team, Aldridge also said frankly: "The lack of Makelele has a great impact on the team, I will not deny it. But.
I think Gattuso has ushered in his moment. If he can withstand the pressure and perform to the level he deserves, he will be able to make incomparable contributions to the team. I trust him and his teammates will too.
Trust him. Crowe
Ze was injured a few days ago and could not be on the substitute list. This was a big loss for us and he was very frustrated. I comforted him and told him that he was still young and would definitely have opportunities in the future because we are a strong team.
As for this game, on the substitute list, we have three players who can play forward, Grenciar, Larmore, and Villa. I think we can cope with all difficulties that arise in the game."
When talking about his opponent Valencia, Aldridge was in good spirits and said with a smile: "In the final, I think it doesn't matter who is the favorite. After 90 minutes or 120 minutes, the one who wins is the strong one, and the one who loses is the strong one.
Just weak, Valencia is not
We reached the finals by luck, and they seemed to have an easier time advancing to the finals than we did. We fought Real Madrid for 180 minutes in two rounds, and they ended the suspense with a score of 4:1 at home in the first round, and they
The opponent is Barcelona
Well, a team that performs better than Real Madrid in the league. Valencia has many excellent players, Mendieta, Hérard, Lopez, etc., as well as an excellent head coach. If Millwall
Taking it lightly in the final, Valencia finally won the cup. I think no one will be surprised. Of course, the premise is that we perform poorly. In this season, I always firmly believe that if Millwall can exert its full strength, we can win
In all competitions, our enemy is ourselves."

May 24
Paris, Stade de France
Before the official start of this season's Champions League final, a series of artistic performances will be held in the stadium for fans to enjoy.
When the performance ended, the entire stadium quickly entered the atmosphere of a football match.
The atmosphere in the stadium today is unprecedentedly warm, and when viewed from the air, it is particularly shocking. It will surely become a classic scene in the Champions League final.
The turf of the stadium is divided into two, with the Lions emblem on the left and the Bats emblem on the right.
In the stands, fans from both sides unanimously gave a visually stunning cheering effect.
On one side of the stands, Millwall fans used the color of their jerseys to create a blue lion pattern, as if a wild lion was floating in the stands.
On the other side, Valencia fans also created a huge bat pattern, which symbolizes Valencia's patron saint.
The two sides fought against each other, unwilling to be outdone, and used their own methods to create pressure on their opponents.
Aldridge was waiting for the players to tidy up in the locker room. He said to everyone lightly: "This is the second time that Millwall has reached the Champions League final in three years. It is the glory of the club and your glory. Half of your players participated.
After the final two years ago, it was the first time for some people to participate in the Champions League final. I will not talk about it and ask you to fight for the fans and the honor of the club. Now, think more.
You yourselves, winning is a great honor to have two Champions League trophies in your hands. It may be the first one, but it makes you even more hungry. Think about your family, who will be proud of you, and think about your children, who will be proud of you in the future.
Be proud of your father, this is your motivation, this is the determination you should have to defeat your opponents, let your name shine in European football, make your career more brilliant, and let you leave no regrets today!"
After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned around and left. Next, the three captains of the team who will start the game will motivate their teammates in the locker room. They have experience and are qualified because they won the championship two years ago, and can better help the first team.
Some players who have played in the Champions League final for the first time, such as Henry, Gattuso, Ronaldinho and others.
Today, Aldridge, who is still wearing a suit and tie, walks slowly in the player tunnel. Except for the staff, no players from both sides have come out. He does not give long speeches before the game, so he often appears on the court early. Today,
No exception.
He does not want to change the pre-match pattern that the well-organized team is already familiar with in the final, which will instead add unnecessary pressure to the team.
The noise in the stadium could be heard. Aldridge walked steadily and looked at the brighter light outside the tunnel. His expression was calm, not cold, not ostentatious, and not worried.
In the locker room, he just told the truth, in a sense, what he thought in his heart.
Football clubs have broken away from the past nature of community charity organizations undertaking public obligations. For the fans? For the club? In many cases, it is just a slogan among people in different football circles.
People are selfish, especially when driven by profit.
In that era when there was basically no difference in income between playing football and working as a miner, playing football was of course an honor. It was easy to resonate with the team for the fans.
But in modern times, who can avoid the temptation of fame and fortune?
Whether it is for money or for personal fame, is this wrong? Yes, the prerequisite is to play football well. Fame and fortune income is directly linked to performance on the court.
At this moment, Aldridge cannot fully work with the urge to repay the support of the fans and work for the honor of the club in his mind.
At the age of 24, he is entering the Champions League final for the second time. He is making history, a history that belongs to him, a legend that people can discuss for a long time even if Millwall is left aside.
At this time, he needs to be more selfish and let the team be more selfish.
Win for yourself, win for selfish**!
If people don't kill themselves for themselves, how can they generate greater motivation for others?
There are such people, but Aldrich always believes that they are in the minority.
After walking out of the players' tunnel, Aldridge came to the stadium. He stood on the sidelines and looked around at the stadium he had set foot on for the first time.
When he appeared on the sidelines, hundreds of sideline photographers surrounded him and began taking photos for a long time.
Those professional cameras were more like guns aimed at Aldrich.
In an instant, with Aldrich as the center, there was a flash of light nearby.
Rosie, who was sitting with Ivan in the stands, leaned forward and looked down at the sidelines. When she saw Aldrich being "besieged" by cameras, her eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face.
She couldn't understand how a man could be so sought after.
Perhaps in her eyes, the reason was that Aldrich was handsome.
“The UEFA Champions League finals of the 1999-2000 season are about to begin. The two teams that advanced to the finals this year are Millwall from England and Valencia from Spain. Each of the two teams defeated Spain’s two giants in the semi-finals.
real madrid vs barcelona, present, history
Valencia, which reached the Champions League final for the first time in history, and Millwall, which reached the Champions League final for the second time in history, will compete for the championship trophy! This was described before the game as the pinnacle of offensive and defensive confrontation.
The Valencia built by Pere took the defensive counterattack to the extreme, while Millwall trained it under Hall.
Next, this season is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in Europe. The English media claimed before the game that today will be a big day for the second generation of Mad Lions built by Hall to win the European title! Yes, compared to Millwall two years ago,
Millwall's starting lineup for the final. Today's Millwall has half of its personnel changes. Shevchenko, Special
Redzeguet, Helguera, Capdevila, Makelele, none of these people can play for Millwall today. Makelele is due to suspension, while Ronaldinho and Henry
Whether the second generation of the Crazy Lions, represented by Crazy Lions, can stand at the top of Europe, this game has a landmark significance!"
Valencia coach Cooper walked into the stadium when the game was about to start. Aldrich turned around and saw that the opponent was walking towards him, so he walked up to him. The two coaches exchanged greetings and then separated. Maybe the game
There was no chance to meet again after that.
Accompanied by the Champions League theme song, players from both teams began to enter the field in high spirits.
"Now let me introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. The first is Millwall. Today, except for Makelele's red card and suspension, their lineup is relatively complete.
Just comparing the lineups of the two teams, Valencia's disadvantage is not too obvious, especially their midfield combination, which is known as one of the best combinations in Europe, while Millwall's midfield combination has a reasonable division of labor and is both offensive and defensive.
, this is also known to everyone, and the key trend of today's game is that Valencia relies on the midfielder, while Millwall has many points to rely on. This is why Millwall is considered the favorite to win the championship."
The Champions League theme song ended, and Millwall and Valencia took to the field to prepare for kick-off.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms folded across his chest with a serious expression. In the first 10-20 minutes, he must carefully observe the situation on the court. This will be the key to the overall trend of the game and also a test of his targeted deployment before the game.
Is the tactical arrangement effective? (To be continued...)
