The moment the referee took out the red card, Aldrich's mind flashed with many images that had been buried in his memory and stories that had really happened on the green field, although some of those images and stories had not yet appeared in the world he was currently experiencing.
Happened, some may never happen again.
These pictures will make him feel a little angry and want to yell at Southgate: You fool! Idiot! So what if Raul makes a one-on-one shot? We lead the total score by 5 goals! What are we afraid of losing one?!
In Asia in the summer of 2002, Ballack burst into tears in the locker room after the semifinals. He would miss the World Cup finals.
In Apennines in 2003, Nedvěd buried his face in his hands and knelt on his knees. He cried alone in the Old Trafford stands after missing out on the Champions League final.
In 2012, Chelsea's generals reached out to cover the referee's hand, but they still couldn't save Ivanovic from the cruel penalty of missing the Champions League final. Ivanovic's reaction at that time seemed unreal, because you can't imagine the tough man's reaction.
Crazy Ivan looks helpless and depressed, as if he is isolated from the whole world...
Perhaps the tens of thousands of Lions fans in the stands of the Lion King Stadium have also thought of this. They feel sorry for Southgate, and there will be many people who think the same as Aldridge at this moment: This foul, that action, really
Not a good deal!
But when Aldridge saw Southgate holding the ball and placing it outside the penalty area at the spot where he committed the foul, he dismissed the idea in his mind.
Outside the green field, the head coach can calm down and think deeply. The fans in the stands are free to chat and yawn, but the players in the stadium do not have such space. Who can think so carefully at critical moments? If you
Have time to think. Go and relax for yourself.
Here is an ideological step, then, is it possible for you to stand on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals and the game of the century? You may have become mediocre and incompetent in the first 100 games of your career, because others are fighting, and you always
It's thinking. Football requires thinking, but it also requires instinct.
Aldridge calmed down. It can only be said simply that Southgate paid the price for the team's defense. When it came to the choice between letting the opponent play alone or committing a foul himself, Southgate chose the latter, although both
There is a possibility of a fluke development, such as Raul's solo shot and Southgate's foul being not discovered, but what is realistic at the moment is that Millwall has not conceded the ball yet.
Real Madrid's pressure on the referee had no effect. The referee immediately went to give Southgate a red card and did not point to the penalty spot. He knew everything and the penalty was very accurate. The red card was correct, and the free kick outside the penalty area was also correct.
.
Millwall set up a wall, Real Madrid's Zidane stood in front of the ball, and then took a feint shot, and Carlos behind him hit the goal hard!
Unfortunately, the ball did not hit the goal range and missed the goal post.
At this time, Millwall made substitution adjustments.
Metzelder replaced Kaká, and other Millwall substitutes also went to warm up, but before the warm-up was completed, Aldridge would not let the players play rashly.
Kaka came off the field and received warm applause from the home team fans.
The situation of the game suddenly reversed from now on. Real Madrid found the correct tactics for this game to deal with Millwall. At the same time, Millwall now has one less player. At this level, if there is one less player than the opponent, the situation will be completely different.
In the last 30 minutes of the game of the century, Real Madrid finally showed off its white giant style, suppressing Millwall and starting to attack wildly. They made full use of the space on the field to organize the attack, combined the sides and the center, and interspersed front and back very well.
Millwall can only rely on harder running and fighting to make up for the numerical disadvantage.
8 minutes later, Nedved was injured after running back to the wing and making a flying tackle to block Figo's successful defense of the inward cut!
"The time left for Real Madrid is getting less and less. The score is too far behind! 5 goals and about 20 minutes left for them, but the situation on the field is becoming more and more favorable to them. Millwall plays less
One person, now Nedvěd has been injured again and Hall is standing on the sidelines with a solemn expression. It is obvious that even if they advance to the final, the price Millwall has paid is too heavy!"
Aldrich felt extremely self-blame and regret. Perhaps it was the comfort brought by the lead that prevented him from thinking deeply.
He kept Pirlo because he actually wanted Pirlo to launch precise long passes during counterattacks. However, Pirlo's defense and speed are hidden dangers, which requires Gattuso and Nedved around him to pay more.
There was nothing to hesitate at this point, Millwall made another substitution, using up the last two substitutions.
Alonso comes on to replace Pirlo.
Pedretti comes on to replace Nedved.
In the 74th minute, Real Madrid used a tactical corner kick to return the attack to the top of the penalty area, and then Zidane sent a fatal kick straight to the other side of the reverse line. Morientes swept the ball in front of the goal, and Herguera disrupted the army.
Send the ball into the goal.
"Real Madrid finally scored their first goal on the road, 3:1, with a total score of 8:4. They still had 15 minutes left, and the gap became 4 goals."
Perhaps because of the difficult goal scored in the away game, Real Madrid's morale was boosted. After Millwall's restart, they pounced on like wolves, overwhelming Millwall and unable to breathe.
There are always miracles on the green field. Manchester United only needs 2 minutes to create a miracle. Millwall has also tried several times to create history at the last moment. Real Madrid has 15 minutes, not counting injury time. Is it enough? Is it not enough?
The defensive pressure faced by Millwall in the next 30 minutes should be Aldridge's biggest moment as coach! No other!
Millwall's players were defending the goal on the field. At this time, not only the players, but also the fans in the stands understood that Millwall could not think about the lead, and could not think about whether they would definitely reach the final after killing time, otherwise
, conceding the ball will happen one after another.
After a fierce defense, Millwall found an excellent counterattack opportunity in the 81st minute.
Larson had already withdrawn from the half court and acted as a full midfielder. Alonso faced off against Helguera when organizing an attack. Fortunately, he won. Helguera failed to steal the ball in the counterattack. This is
He counterattacked 4 times in a row. The fourth time, he finally failed. Millwall had a chance to counterattack. Alonso endured the pain in his feet and only passed the ball 35 yards, but he was completely focused and did not dare to be careless at all.
He passed the ball to Larsson on the wing.
On Larsson's side, Carlos rushed forward to assist. At this moment, Carlos' speed of returning to defense also began to slow down. Larsson started to drive straight in with the ball. Makelele, who was parallel to him, was actively returning to defense.
, Millwall 2v3.
When Makelele was about to collide with Larsson, Larsson handed the ball to Henry who was pulled to the left in front of the penalty area.
When Henry got the ball, he tried his best to balance his body and used rhythm to deceive Hierro and Karanka. His non-fancy dribbling and breakthrough skills played a huge role at this moment. Slow, fast,
Slowly, after three rhythm changes, Hierro's center of gravity was deceived, Karanka and
There was a gap between them. Henry used his last bit of strength to accelerate and rushed past the two of them. Karanka's physical fitness was fine. Henry just passed by and had an angle to shoot, so he no longer hesitated and shot.
, Henry completed it by falling to the ground and shooting.
The ball rolled against the turf very quickly towards Real Madrid's goal.
Cesar immediately moved to the left side of the goal, but the ball, which did not seem to be very fast, rolled towards the goal at an extremely tricky angle. Cesar tried his best, but still failed to touch the ball during the save, even though his finger pointed
A slight touch of the tip may save the goal!
Because the ball banged, hit the inside of the goal post and stopped inside the goal line...
"Henry! The super killer wins again! Millwall leads 4:1, and the total score is 9:4 ahead of Real Madrid! Now, there should be no suspense in the game, there should be no more, there should be no more."
If it were a competition between other teams, with a 2-3 goal lead, even if there were 30 minutes left in the game, the leading team would basically have secured the victory. However, when Millwall was 4 goals behind Real Madrid, the commentators were all
I dare not jump to conclusions and sentence Real Madrid to death.
The stands of Lion King Stadium erupted into even louder cheers.
It was not easy to score this goal, it was too difficult!
Henry fell to the ground after shooting and did not get up. He did not show any sign of pain, but calmly made a substitution gesture toward the coaching bench. However, after making this gesture, he realized that there were no substitutions left.
.
He felt the pain in his ankle. It must have been twisted when he fired the shot. He originally intended to shoot vigorously and with great force, but the ball was not completely touched. Part of the force was kicked into the turf, although it turned out to be a ground kick.
He rolled the ball and scored a goal, but his ankle was indeed slightly injured. His self-perception knew that the injury was not serious, but he would definitely not be able to continue playing.
Aldridge still asked the team doctor to rush over and told him to take him off the field.
Two team doctors went over to check Henry's injury on the spot. The Real Madrid players surprisingly did not rush him. Instead, the referee walked over and ordered them to deal with it off the field.
Real Madrid had really tried their best to stage a miraculous comeback before this, but Henry scored another goal, which seemed to completely break their spirit.
The opponent sent off a man to get a goal back, and then another goal was hit. With less than 10 minutes left, Real Madrid had to score 5 goals to advance. How could this possibly create a miracle? This is a miracle.
It's a desperate situation that cannot be reversed.
"There was a warm round of applause. Henry could not persist in the game, and Millwall had no more substitutions. Millwall now has two fewer players on the field than Real Madrid!"
At this time, the more important it is for fans to play the role of the 12th man. In the Lion King Stadium, the loud singing of the crazy Lions fans lingers in the sky. Every time a Millwall player touches the ball, the scene will be reminded of the sound of booing, Odry.
Qi took off his suit and kept gesturing to the fans in the stands to make their voices louder! (To be continued...)
