After the league, Millwall began to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. The atmosphere in the team was relatively relaxed, without the tension before the war...
In the sunny morning, the players came to the training ground early. Before the official training, they would chat or do some warm-up exercises by themselves.
Schneider and Klose were walking around London last night and saw a group of avant-garde young people dancing in a comprehensive modern square. The scene was very hot. Klose recorded a video with a digital camera and is now sharing it with
teammates.
Ronaldinho came a little later, but it was still early before the training started, so he was not late.
When he arrived at the training ground, he saw a group of teammates watching footage from a digital camera. He became interested and danced directly on the training ground, as if he wanted to compete with the boys in the video.
He was dancing happily, but his foot got caught while doing a turn. Then, he fell on the training ground. Then, the team doctor confirmed that he was injured.
Aldrich had a very good morning. He had rested on time for more than half a year and his body was in good condition. He got up early today and was full of energy. He did morning exercises with Yiwen and came to work refreshed.
He did not go to the training ground, but went directly to the medical center. After learning the cause of Ronaldinho's injury, he originally wanted to give him a lesson aggressively, but when he saw Ronaldinho's head hanging down and an ice pack on his ankle, Audrey
It's strange and heartbreaking.
"Hey, you left me speechless! Are you not interested in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals? Do you have to play such a thrilling game to be happy?"
Aldrich sat down next to Ronaldinho in a joking tone.
Ronaldinho didn't understand what Aldridge meant at first. He thought about it carefully for a while, raised his head and said without tears: "Boss, I don't want to either! The turf of the stadium has not been repaired. There is a hole there.
Maybe the turf is loose, anyway..."
"It's your fault anyway! Don't blame the turf, the training ground, it's not a place for dancing. Please, are you taking it too easy?"
Ronaldinho thought for a while and said: "It's possible. We have already advanced to the final. In short, I didn't intentionally avoid the second round of the semi-finals, absolutely not!"
He was absent from the second leg of last year's Champions League semifinals because he was sent off in the first leg and injured.
Aldridge was here waiting for the team doctor's diagnosis report. It was not until the end of the morning that he learned that Ronaldinho would be absent for half a month, which made him feel relieved.
At least it's not as tight as last year, and there will be some time for him to recover.
"Take good care of yourself and don't cause any more accidents!"
Before leaving, Aldridge simply banned Ronaldinho from some activities. Anyway, during the period of recuperation, he should stay at home and travel to and from the club's medical center. Two points and one line.
Ronaldinho immediately nodded and agreed. He was also afraid of other problems. After all, what awaited him was not only the final of the European Champions Cup, but also the World Cup in the summer.
Aldridge returned to the coaching staff conference center, convened the coaching staff, and re-formulated the tactical arrangements for the second round of the Champions League. Fortunately, Ronaldinho was not injured before the start of the game. At least for now, Aldridge will have time to rearrange the team.
In terms of tactics, Ronaldinho is a key role. Whether he is good or not, although Millwall's defensive system has not changed much, it will have an intuitive impact on the entire offensive system, because no one can replace his role!
The day before the Champions League game, Fleet Street focused on Ronaldinho's injury. Millwall officially announced yesterday that Ronaldinho would miss the game due to injury. The recovery period is expected to be two weeks.
This cannot be concealed. Ronaldinho is not only followed and photographed by paparazzi when he enters and exits the club for training, but also has paparazzi accompanying him when he goes out to eat.
Millwall will use the trick of smoke bombs, but if Ronaldinho is allowed to wrap his feet and use crutches to act, this will be too clumsy and a bit...
"Ronaldinho will miss this game, that's the reality."
"Who will Millwall replace him with? Klose? Villa? Lamore?"
In the starting lineup, Ronaldinho started as a left winger, and Fleet Street took it for granted that Millwall would replace Ronaldinho with a striker.
However, Aldridge replied: "I haven't decided who I will send yet. I need to check the status of the substitute players before the game."
No one at the scene believed what he said!
Absolutely not!
The game starts tomorrow, but Millwall hasn't finalized tomorrow's starting lineup yet?
It is true that some clubs will decide the starting lineup at the last moment before the game, but this is not the tradition of Millwall. Outsiders have already known Millwall's tradition by looking into Millwall's internal secrets, and the tactics and starting lineup will be finalized the day before the game.
.
Aldrich didn't say anything because he didn't want his opponents to focus on their studies. If he told a lie, it would easily hurt the players' hearts. For example, if he said he would start Alonso tomorrow, but it turned out not to be the case, what would Alonso think?
The next day, the second half of the match of the century between Millwall and Real Madrid continued at the Lion King Stadium.
Compared with the much-anticipated game at the Bernabeu, the game at the Lion King Stadium obviously received less attention. The chairman of Real Madrid did not come to watch the away game. Millwall also specially reserved the largest box for the Real Madrid management, maybe 3
The total score of :5 made Real Madrid's senior management reluctant to come to watch the game again. Perhaps Florentino couldn't stand the torture of watching the game with Arthur.
Real Madrid didn't have many fans coming to watch away games. Some of the tickets allocated to the away team were still circulating on the black market and were snapped up by Millwall fans. The Lion King Stadium turned into a blue ocean today. It was terrifying.
The atmosphere at home is still the same, and it has been noisy since before the game. Huge portraits of the leading stars are flying in the stands, and even a fan organization has specially drawn a Q-version banner of their own.
That banner got the focus of live footage.
The content on the banner is simply a roadmap for completing a cartoon RPG game.
The cute little blue lion went all the way from the starting point, destroying the Portuguese dragon, the Apennine zebra, the Lisbon lion, and the German tank. Conquered the hell of stars and moon. Sweeped the Catalan army. And now it stepped on the white giant.
On the corpse, there is only one last stop left in front of the little blue lion. Above the name of Glasgow, there is a European Champions Cup.
"Haha, it seems that Millwall fans are already making suggestions for the club. Millwall has released promotional videos for advancing to the Champions League finals three times before, which are talked about, especially by many children. Now Millwall fans
Taking the initiative to hand-draw Millwall's promotion process this season in the stands is really amazing!"
The banner also bears the title: Road to Glasgow Championship!
After Aldridge entered the stadium, he also discovered this unique banner in the stands, which made him smile. This is fan culture, which is both infectious and promotional. The most important thing is that the fan organization that made the banner must
I made this banner with joy, and then share the joy with other Lions fans.
Aldridge walked over and shook hands with Bosque. He exchanged a few pleasantries and then walked back to the home team's coaching bench. In the current environment, it was not suitable for him to talk too much with Bosque, because Bosque was in a situation where he was beleaguered from all sides.
It is almost impossible for Real Madrid to successfully defend the league title this season. They suffered another major defeat in the first game of the Champions League semi-finals. Some Spanish media even described the side that opposed Real Madrid as shameful. Of course, the reason was also that after Barcelona's disastrous defeat, they favored Madrid.
The newspapers were all adding insult to injury.
For such a major failure, someone must bear the responsibility, not to mention that Florentino himself looks down on Del Bosque.
At the cusp of this storm, Real Madrid stars are unable to protect themselves, so naturally they cannot stand up and speak justice for Del Bosque.
Players from both sides began to enter the stadium. Real Madrid players had a tragic feeling of risking their lives. Before the game started, many players frowned together, which seemed weird in Aldrich's eyes.
It seems that they really want to create a majestic momentum that is against the visitors, but when they step into the Lion King Stadium, everything is blue, and they are surrounded by tens of thousands of crazy Lion fans, they can't improve their momentum.
"Millwall temporarily leads Real Madrid 5:3. Football matches are full of unpredictable factors. Millwall has never lost at the Lion King Stadium, but Real Madrid is the team most capable of rewriting this history. Therefore,
This game is still worth looking forward to. Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both sides.
Millwall has a heavyweight star who cannot appear in this game. Ronaldinho is absent due to injury. Now he is sitting in the VIP box with a serious look on his face. Surprisingly, Hall actually used Ronaldinho
Neo's Brazilian compatriot, young Kaká, came to replace Ronaldinho. This was a major difference from many media's predictions before the game that Klose would start.
Real Madrid's starting lineup for this game also had two personnel changes from the previous game. Pavin, who scored the lowest score in the last game, was sent to the bench. He was replaced by Solari and goalkeeper Ka.
Silas also sat on the bench probably because he conceded 5 goals in the last game. He was replaced by 31-year-old veteran goalkeeper Cesar.
Real Madrid started 442.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
Defenders: Salgado, Hierro, Helguera, Carlos.
Midfielder: Solari, Makelele, Zidane, Figo.
Forwards: Raul, Morientes.
Both teams have changed from the last starting game, and Millwall has even changed their formation. This may make the game unfold beyond our expectations. Next, let's enjoy the super showdown between the two giants.
Determine life and death!"
Aldridge saw Real Madrid's starting lineup and thought about it carefully for a while.
It is foreseeable that Helguera withdrew to play as a central defender and did not dare to trust Pavin anymore.
Solari's presence in the midfield, which favors attack, means that Real Madrid will have to fight to the death in the away game, which is not too unexpected.
As for what kind of effects Solari can bring, Aldrich suddenly remembered something.
In the original history, the period when Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid was at the peak of Barcelona's dominance of the Europa League. At that time, few people would argue about who was better, Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, and even Real Madrid fans would say
He said this: If Ronaldo's dribbling skills can be half as efficient as Solari's, then Ronaldo may challenge Messi in La Liga.
This statement is definitely too one-sided. Let’s not mention that Solari and Cristiano Ronaldo’s areas of activity are under completely different defensive pressures. It’s just that Solari has not reached the height of Cristiano Ronaldo’s fame, so it is impossible for every opponent to focus on it and target it.
Secondly, Messi was indeed the king of dribblers in European football during that period, but dribbling is just a skill. The best dribbler may not be the king. Otherwise, how could Messi be alone in the national team?
?
However, these words can show Solari's threat and some characteristics in the midfield area.
After thinking about it, Aldridge was not too worried. If Solari can really catalyze the entire Real Madrid team, then Solari's reputation should be even greater. (To be continued...)
