In this warm-up match in Singapore, Millwall's starting lineup really lacked the "sincerity" to perform.
All substitutes!
The goalkeeper is Kirkland.
Alonso started, and Lampard sat on the bench chatting with Southgate.
Ajax is very serious here, and most of the main players are on board.
After all, Ajax came with full sincerity in training. The Eredivisie's top club, which did not fall to sixth place in the league last season, wants to compete with Europe's top teams, even if it is a friendly match.
The audience at the scene was originally disinterested, but their first feeling was that they had been cheated!
With the expensive tickets in hand, when the sponsors were promoting, the posters showing Nedved, Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry... were a huge lie!
There were many fanatical fans sitting in the stands behind Aldridge constantly shouting his name, wishing Aldridge would go out and play on the field in person.
Aldridge is very popular, but today he was sitting peacefully on the coaching bench, chatting with Klinsmann.
Klinsmann took the initiative to chat with Aldridge, and the content was about the current situation of football in Germany, and the European Cup. It was not only England that returned from the European Cup with a disastrous defeat, but also Germany who were in the same group and returned home from the group stage.
Even though Germany reached the World Cup finals two years later and finished second, it is recognized in Europe that the German team during this period was at its lowest point. The disastrous defeat in this year's European Cup is causing a stir in German football.
The upsurge of share reform, two years later
, it can be regarded as a return to glory at best. The most bizarre thing is that Brazil and Germany, the two teams that met in the finals, almost never encountered the top teams from the group stage to the finals! If England is also included in the top teams, then.
Brazil also won very hard.
In that World Cup, the strong teams that should have been able to go to the end were all hacked, which made the South Korean team achieve the highest ranking and record of Asian teams in the World Cup.
Aldrich is truly convinced by the Germans. Failure is not terrible, but what is terrible is the lack of determination to change after failure. On the contrary, the rigorous Germans can face up to their failures and mistakes, whether in war or football, and then work hard to become stronger.
carry out reforms.
So he was relaxed, but thought seriously when chatting with Klinsmann.
The friendly match on the field turned out to be an unexpected match!
Ajax is serious about it. Young players like Millwall are not playing to gain experience for the opponent. On the contrary, they will work harder than the main players and exchange excellent performance for more playing opportunities.
Millwall opens up the field and never plays conservatively. Ajax 433 has long been integrated into the team's DNA. As a result, the offensive is fierce, the pace of the game is also fast, and goals are scored one after another.
The audience gradually discovered that a game without big names could be so exciting!
Millwall 0:1 Ajax.
1:1
2:1
3:1
3:2
3:3
4:3
4:4
4:5
In the last ten minutes of the game, Aldridge made the final substitutions. He had already made two substitutions, three or four players at a time, and for the last substitution, he brought on Ronaldinho and Nedved.
Larson.
The place has already been buzzing since the long-awaited call came out. Just watching the goals scored in this game is very enjoyable.
Six minutes after the three came on the field, Ronaldinho assisted Larsson to score the equalizing goal. Nedvěd missed the winning chance at the last minute. In the end, Millwall and Ajax drew 5:5.
Although the game lacked some star flavor, at least the scene was exciting and made the audience linger on.
Millwall immediately left for Hong Kong after finishing their first friendly match.
In Hong Kong, when Millwall arrived, the scene was even more shocking than in Singapore. It was packed with people!
The reason is that Hong Kong can be regarded as the back garden of Asia under the international promotion of the Premier League.
Before 1997, Hong Kong was still under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth. A series of scandals broke out in local football, which led to the decline of Hong Kong football. When fans here watch European football, their first choice is the Premier League. Going back even further, it is the English League One, so there are many fans of Liverpool and Manchester United here.
, and now, through five years of outstanding performance in the Premier League and European games, Millwall has a large number of Hong Kong fans.
At the same time, Pirlo, Henry and other players also arrived in Hong Kong to join the team, pushing this unstoppable passion to its peak.
The crazy enthusiasm of the fans here scares the players.
A large number of fans gathered outside the training ground and the hotel, and it became difficult for the players to go for a walk.
"Hey, do you really think you're here for a trip?"
Seeing Ronaldinho and Henry whispering about being lazy, Aldridge reminded them to concentrate on training.
The first thing Henry did after returning to the team was to apologize to the entire team, because the negative impact caused by his transfer will definitely affect the team, and he hopes to regain the trust and support of his teammates.
He had already renewed his contract and the matter was settled. His teammates laughed it off and obviously didn't mind it anymore.
Ronaldinho turned around and made a face towards Henry that could only be seen by the other party, pretending to be afraid of Aldrich, and Henry rolled his eyes in return.
The two continued to train. Ronaldinho was full of ideas. There were reporters around their training ground, and there were also fans who came in to watch.
While the players were taking a break, Ronaldinho called Henry, Larsson, Schneider, and Pirlo together. I don't know what they discussed. Then, he saw these five people playing passes.
Uh, pass the ball to each other in order, but the ball can't hit the ground.
Not only that, in the process of passing the ball, the distance between them becomes farther and farther, and the difficulty of passing the ball will naturally increase.
At first, everyone was two or three meters apart. They used their feet, legs, heads, shoulders, and Ronaldinho's back to ensure that the ball did not fall to the ground and that he could pass the ball to Henry.
Once the distance is increased, they cannot complete the pass with one touch of the ball. They often stop for a moment, adjust their force, and then pass the ball out, keeping the ball from hitting the ground.
The reporters on the sidelines and the fans in the stands didn't find it strange at first. But the more they watched, the more excited they became.
Especially after the distance between the five of them has increased to more than 10 meters. Watching them skillfully stop the ball with their chests or thighs and then kick the ball to their teammates before it hits the ground. The ball is flying around in the air, as if
They all have a rhythm that makes people unable to help but dance.
Millwall's teammates were also watching. Klose's eyes were full of yearning: When can I have such excellent ball sense and ball control skills as them?
"This can be used for advertising."
Jenson stood next to Aldrich and laughed.
I just saw Ronaldinho use his heel to swing the ball in place and pass the ball to Henry accurately. Henry used his shoulder to remove the ball and then lifted the ball and headed it to Larsson.
Aldridge looked at Ronaldinho, Schneider and the others showing off their skills, and chuckled: "It's great to be young."
Ronaldinho usually has a show-off side in training, but he doesn't involve other people. He has a lot of fancy moves that are of no use in the game, and it's useless to practice them. Today, he really just performed for the audience.
Appreciated it.
It's time to rest, but Ronaldinho and the others haven't let the ball hit the ground yet, and the distance between them has been extended to more than 15 meters. The fans in the stands will cheer every time they pass the ball.
Aldridge picked up the whistle on his chest and blew it, signaling the team to restart the next step of training. Ronaldinho stopped the ball with his chest and then shot towards the goal.
Bang
The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back, but it still didn't hit the ground. Larsson volleyed and kicked the ball directly into the air, and the ball flew towards the empty goal again. This time, it went in.
The fans in the stands were stunned. They probably thought Ronaldinho hit the crossbar intentionally.
Especially after Larsson's volley, when Ronaldinho walked over and gave the opponent a high-five with one hand, it looked like he had provided an assist.
Not only Ronaldinho knew it, but his teammates and coaches also knew that it was just a coincidence.
The Millwall team held an open training session in Hong Kong, leaving the audience stunned.
And "gaochao" is not over yet.
When testing the sprint speed, Ronaldinho was paired with Grunchard, but Ronaldinho was beaten by Grunchard.
Aldrich looked at Ronaldinho's results and was a little dissatisfied. He called Ronaldinho in front of him for a symbolic "criticism". Ronaldinho expressed his determination to seriously restore his physical condition, and then he issued a challenge to Aldrich.
"Just compete with him. Aren't you known as an athlete?"
Klinsmann was also cheering from the side.
Aldridge had no choice but to accept a sprint contest with Ronaldinho.
Although the team will test players' 100-meter ability, the training is mainly about practicing short-distance sprints of 30 meters.
After all, in the game, no matter what position a player is in, it is impossible to sprint 100 meters. Therefore, a player like Klose who has no advantage in speed of 100 meters gives people the impression that he is not fast, but in fact, his speed is not average.
Fast!
Because of the short burst sprint of 30 meters, Klose's start and burst are very good, coupled with the awareness of timing, he starts half a second before his opponent. In one second, the distance after sprinting will be widened in the blink of an eye.
Aldrich knew that his short sprint would definitely be beaten by Ronaldinho, so he decided to increase the distance from 30 meters to 50 meters.
Ronaldinho protested, Aldrich refused!
When the two stood on the starting line, with Klinsmann acting as the referee, Aldridge whispered to Ronaldinho: "Leave me alone."
Ronaldinho asked: "Is there any benefit?"
“Treat you to the most unique Chinese food!”
“It’s a deal!”
The moment Klinsmann's arm fell, Ronaldinho ran out like a cheetah. Although Aldrich also started, he was dumbfounded.
A deal?
Is this what "let me" means?
You and Glenn Sherby didn't have such a terrifying outbreak just now, right?
This is a contest without any suspense. Aldrich calls himself an athlete, but that is for ordinary people. Compared with professional football players, especially those with speed advantages, he is simply not on the same level.
30 meters, the winner is decided, Ronaldinho is at least 4 meters ahead.
But Ronaldinho was so evil-minded that he not only turned around and winked at Aldrich, but also deliberately slowed down, just to be a little ahead of Aldrich and press him to run to the finish line.
This made Aldrich furious.
Just before the finish line, Ronaldinho was about to cross the line, and Aldridge became shameless!
He reached out to grab Ronaldinho's clothes, but he might have been impatient, so he tripped and fell forward. The hand that went to grab Ronaldinho's clothes still grabbed something.
Ronaldinho's proud expression suddenly turned to stone, and he lost his center of gravity. Not only did he fall to the ground, but he also felt a chill in his lower body. He looked back and said: I'll choke you!
His shorts were pulled off by Aldrich...
Aldrich let go of his hands and rolled on the ground, face down and resting his forehead on his arms. He couldn't help but laugh, but he was too embarrassed to stand up.
There was a dead silence at first, and then the audience in the stands went crazy with joy.
The reporters hurriedly took photos.
Millwall's players were all laughing.
Only the team doctor nervously ran over to check whether the two people who fell to the ground were injured.
Injured, just a little bit.
But they were all scratches and skin injuries.
Ronaldinho stood up and pulled up his shorts, pressing the waistband of his pants with one hand, as if he was afraid that Aldrich would take off his pants again. He came to Aldrich who was sitting on the ground dumbfounded. He raised his other hand and said confidently: "Boss, you too
Isn’t it too shameless?”
"It's because you have no sportsmanship! Just win if you win, and you deliberately made me look embarrassed!"
Aldrich held his forehead and argued weakly.
Ronaldinho rolled his eyes, laughed and said, "You made a fool of yourself, and you also made a big fool of me!"
Aldrich didn't bother to argue with him, raised his hand and said: "Pull me up, you liar."
Ronaldinho pulled him up from the ground. At this moment, he remembered the agreement he made before starting, and still said without changing his expression: "I let you, really."
"fraud."
Aldridge laughed and cursed, and the two walked to the sideline accompanied by the team doctor to do some simple wound cleaning.
At the scene, the cheers and cheers became even louder.
