"Wow, Millwall's new captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is only 16 years old! He performed really well today, although he was not as impressive as the last time he played, but he did a good job in the forward line.
Supporting role, look at his pass to Villa. Wigambi's defender flew out to intercept it. He was probably just one millimeter away with his toes, but he still let the ball pass. Villa sent the ball into the goal. Millwall
In the 79th minute, we finally reversed the score and led 2:1 away from home!"
Millwall just joined the FA Cup team and almost got a shock!
They came to challenge Wycombe away from home and encountered great difficulties.
The reason is that no one expected it to rain heavily!
Before the game started, the Millwall coaching staff yelled that the weather forecaster was a bitch, and what she said was simply bullshit!
When preparing for a game, you will definitely understand the weather conditions, and even predict scientific issues such as wind direction and speed based on the stadium conditions, which will inevitably have an impact on the game.
Intelligence collectors are not God. We can only collect data based on the local weather forecast about the weather conditions. However, the intelligence information obtained during yesterday's pre-game preparation meeting clearly shows that it will be a sunny day during today's game!
Aldridge was doused and he had no intention of taking shelter from the rain. Fans at Wigambi's small stadium were wearing raincoats in the stands.
As a head coach, there is nothing he hates the most. It is not that he is afraid of rain. It is that it suddenly rained unexpectedly. This has a great impact on the arrangement of pre-game tactics. It can even overturn everything that was studied and prepared yesterday.
!
For example, today he sent Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Villa to team up with the Trident. Under normal circumstances, the two wingers would play the modern winger style of play. This style of play requires a combination of man and ball.
A lot of dribbling and breakthroughs can partially tear apart the opponent's defense.
After the heavy rain started, the field became slippery, which had a great impact on dribbling. With high-speed dribbling, changes of direction, and sudden stops and turns, players could easily slip. Can they still play like this? Definitely not!
What was even more unexpected was that in the first half, there was a pool of water near the line of Millwall's penalty area. The opponent passed a pass to this area, and the ball was suddenly slowed down by 80% by the water. Barzagli was chasing
In the process, he had already surpassed the opponent's forward. But
The ball suddenly stopped, which was like shaking him. He stopped and turned around again, and slipped to the ground. The opponent's forward had already given up, but the ball magically appeared in front of him. He rushed up and kicked it with his eyes closed.
, shit luck hit a dead end, Wigambi opened the scoring.
Aldrich not only had to order the team to abandon yesterday's tactical arrangement after the game started, but also commanded on the spot to re-formulate the tactics. Now that it was the main lineup, he only needed to make a few gestures to lead the substitute lineup.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, and even took the opportunity to call the players in front of him to teach them.
It was not until the second half that Millwall fully adjusted. The opponent maintained a score of 1:0, and Millwall took advantage of today's rainy environment to frequently hit long-range shots.
In the second half, Kaka's fifth long-range shot finally hit the goal with a tricky ball that bounced off the ball. Originally, the ball was not too threatening, but the friction and acceleration after it bounced off the ground made the goalkeeper a step slower to save.
After equalizing the score, Aldrich calmed down the team and patiently created opportunities through short passes.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery have developed a good understanding in the youth team and reserve team. If you want to say who has the best relationship on the field in Cristiano Ronaldo's team, it must be Ribery. Even after leaving the stadium, the two have nothing but greetings.
Will say one more word.
But on the court, in teamwork, Cristiano Ronaldo likes Ribery the most, because the opponent supports him. In terms of cooperation, Cristiano Ronaldo takes the lead and Ribery assists.
Ribery's current characteristics are not particularly outstanding, and he has certain attainments in the combination of man and ball. However, in terms of overall view of the game and timing, he cannot see the characteristics. Therefore, when he regularly assists Ronaldo, he plays very well.
, the task of the game is simple, just find an opportunity to give the ball to Ronaldo, and let him do it alone at other times, but he is at a loss.
The ball that reversed the score was when Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery came to the same side. After two consecutive cooperations, Cristiano Ronaldo entered the penalty area and passed a pleasing diagonal shot to the earth. Villa acted as the killer.
Role.
This game was tiring and the physical energy was consumed quickly. Before the 80 minutes of the game, the players on the field were already about to collapse, especially the offensive players.
It was a rainy day, and his physical energy was consumed quickly. The exhausted Ronaldo was covered in mud. The white Millwall away jersey was almost black and gray. But when he saw Villa scoring, he rushed over excitedly and knocked Villa down.
On the ground, other Millwall players also rushed forward.
They all sighed in their hearts: This game was so damn hard!
No wonder they had this idea, even Aldrich wiped the rain off his face after seeing the goal and cursed a few curse words, as if he had vented his anger.
Reversing the score, Aldridge immediately made a substitution, replacing Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery, both of whom couldn't run anyway.
"Eh? Cristiano Ronaldo, who was substituted in the rain, seemed to have forgotten one thing. He should have handed the captain's armband to his teammates, but he walked directly to the sidelines and no one reminded him, hahaha,
There was no captain on the pitch for the rest of the game at Millwall."
In fact, whether there is a captain or not has no impact on the game.
Aldridge doesn’t know if Ronaldo did it on purpose. Who cares, Ronaldo’s performance satisfied him anyway. Especially when the team fell behind, he really used actions to drive the team like a captain.
, in the Millwall team, only the defender's jersey is dirtier than Ronaldo's jersey.
Aldridge wanted to pat Ronaldo on the shoulder when he came off the field, but Ronaldo ducked over. Aldridge looked towards him, but saw Ronaldo winking at him with his right eye and nodding, his expression still very serious.
Once you become the captain, you immediately show off your authority.
Aldrich couldn't help but laugh, and a nonsensical thought came to his mind: Is this guy showing off as a leader?
Ribery's expression was much better when he came off the field. Although he still smiled a little scary. But after being patted on the shoulder by Aldrich, he took the warm coat given by the assistant coach. After he sat down, he talked eagerly with the teammates around him.
.
At the last moment of the game, Wiganby's army was pressing down, and Millwall had more and better counterattack opportunities.
Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather, two excellent opportunities were squandered by the players. Especially when Kaka slipped his foot during a counterattack, and the final shot was almost missed. The ball was kicked directly to the opponent's goalkeeper. He fell down.
On the ground, the Wigambi home fans were not in the mood to laugh at Kaká, but instead made Aldrich nervous for a while.
Don't get hurt!
Fortunately, Kaka stood up on his own and seemed uninjured.
Millwall finally defeated Wycombe 2:1 away from home and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.
Although it rained for more than an hour, Aldrich was not completely soaked. The warm coat was of good quality and waterproof.
In a post-match interview, Aldridge was asked about the team's performance in this game. He replied: "The boys worked hard. We must admit that the game was much more difficult than we thought. The impact of the rain was very big.
, but the players overcame this and they deserved the victory. The valuable experience of today’s game is
To help them grow and improve, the FA Cup? We will try our best to fight for it. Millwall never gives up easily, but we will not be arrogant and say that we must win the championship. You know, Millwall's games this season are really too good.
More, now it’s a fourth-line battle! This is a test for the team, and we will work hard to overcome all difficulties!”
The new season started in mid-August, and now the New Year has just arrived. Millwall has already played 35 official games in four and a half months!
An average of 8 games per month!
And this doesn’t even count national team events.
It can be said that Millwall has double matches almost every week!
Now he is participating in the FA Cup, and there will be two rounds of semi-finals in the League Cup at the end of the month. The intensity of the competition will be even greater, so Aldridge did not talk enough and did not release any heroic words.
But after he finished the interview, when the players were about to leave, Cristiano Ronaldo changed into casual clothes, carried a backpack, and put a peaked cap on his head. The reporter waved to him.
walked over.
"Congratulations, Cristiano Ronaldo, you have created another piece of history in the history of Millwall Club. You were already the youngest player to play for Millwall, and now you have become the youngest player to play for the club's first team in official matches.
Young captain, what do you think?"
Ronaldo said confidently: "It was the boss who handed me the captain's armband. He made a right decision. He knows that I am trustworthy and I will give everything to help the team win. Of course, I believe I can do it."
Arrived, thanks boss."
"In today's game, you provided an assist for the winning goal. How do you evaluate your performance?"
"It's okay. The team wins. This is the most important thing. We did it. The field today was terrible. It didn't look like a football field after the rain. But we still won because we are stronger."
"What about the future? You have advanced to the next round of the FA Cup."
"This is just the beginning, our goal is to win the championship and we will achieve that goal by the end of the season."
...
Aldridge did not know that Ronaldo had been interviewed, but the day after returning to London, the news compared the content of his post-match interview with Ronaldo. Some sensational media said that Aldridge was not as good as Ronaldo.
Courage!
Aldrich called Andrew.
"Hey, hey, should you send someone to teach Ronaldo how to face the media?"
"Well, I saw the content of his interview today and realized it. Don't worry, leave the rest of the work to me."
"It's your job as an agent!"
Aldrich sighed after hanging up the phone, then shook his head and smiled.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still young and angry. There is a problem in criticizing the simplicity of Wigambi's stadium. Facts are facts, but since you have won the game, why bother to make things difficult with words? What's the benefit?
Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo said that he wants to win the FA Cup. It sounds like it is to boost morale, but it will also put pressure on his teammates. Now, it is not his turn to say such things. Southgate can say that, and Nedved can.
Said, the premise is that they play the game.
Millwall is actually training with the FA Cup. If Aldridge really wants to focus on winning the FA Cup, he will naturally make boastful words about winning the FA Cup, and then come up with the strongest lineup to win, but he clearly retains his strength and still boasts.
If you want to win the championship, if you fail, wouldn't it be like shooting yourself in the foot?
There is no doubt that Ronaldo cheated Aldridge in a small way.
This Portuguese guy needs to start cultivating his public relations skills. Don't ask for trouble and say something that will cause controversy, such as "I am rich, handsome, good at football, and others are jealous of me."
"
Some words are facts, but facts may not be liked by everyone. (To be continued...)
