904 Contrast

In the two European Cup qualifiers, England scored 11 goals without conceding a single goal. They dominated the scene and were full of dominance, especially the seemingly crazy and chaotic team running, but they always burst out with unlimited murderous intent.

, and ultimately humiliated and tortured the opponent to death.

England, led by Aldridge, has a new look after the World Cup. Compared with the past, where the team stayed in the backcourt and defended statically for most of the time, waiting for the opponent to attack and then strike, England is now extremely aggressive in attitude. Such a strong reversal has made England fans

Delighted and surprised.

Because England looks more fierce and passionate than the previous two years!

Even if you don't feel the slightest artistic flavor, it is this rough and barbaric bravery that inspires the spark of raw power that best suits the appetite of England fans!

After the game, Beckham had a charming smile on his face when he was interviewed after the game. When asked by reporters about the state of the national team after the World Cup, he smiled and said: "Everything is perfect. We retained Hall with all sincerity after the World Cup."

Jazz, this is definitely the most correct decision. Although our opponents in these two games are not strong, we can feel that England is becoming stronger than in the past."

"As England vice-captain, if you could decide, how long would you like Sir Hall to be in charge of England?"

"Haha, fifty years, haha, that's definitely impossible, but I hope that he can continue to coach the Three Lions before I bid farewell to the national team. He is the best coach in England and can lead England to create a better world than Millwall.

More glorious times."

"Between Sir Hall and Sir Alex Ferguson, who do you think is better?"

Beckham originally liked the reporter, but when he suddenly heard such a question, he immediately became dissatisfied with the reporter. His smile disappeared and he shook his head and said, "It's so rude of you to ask that. I'm not qualified to evaluate two great coaches. Goodbye."

"

The two poor games are not very convincing, but they are a necessary process for England to hone and grow in the new period. Compared with climbing up from the bottom of the world preliminaries two years ago, there is now less pressure on performance.

Despite the added mental pressure caused by outside attention, Aldridge feels that life is quite easy anyway, easier than he has ever been in the past eight years.

Because all official matches in England this year are over, as long as they play a friendly match next month, the European Cup qualifiers will not resume until next spring.

And he will also end his internal teaching at the Millwall training base this month. His life plan at the end of the year is to concentrate on staying in the family life circle.

In addition to Fleet Street's praise of the national team's report, rational football critics still had a heated debate on England's technical and tactical changes. Some thought it was too risky, while others thought the young coach should take the initiative to make changes.

At least, Aldridge's national team slaughtered the underdogs and won without difficulty. This instead raised another question: If Aldridge is still at Millwall, Millwall's current league points and the Champions League group situation

What is it like?

Henry was injured. It seemed that Klinsmann just sent Alonso on the field, and then pushed Lampard into the attacking midfielder. Ronaldinho returned to the left wing position. In fact, it was a change in the team's technical and tactical system. It was different from the previous one.

There were obvious changes.

Millwall defeated Black Cats Sunderland convincingly 3-0 in the tenth round of the league.

After ten rounds, Millwall has 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and is only 2 points away from Arsenal at the top of the list!

Arsenal's sustained unbeaten record following the second half of last season and the fantastic start to this season ended at Goodison Park.

Arsenal's defeat was described by Fleet Street as a sniper attack by a mad lion.

Because the key player who ended Arsenal's unbeaten run was England's new golden boy who was loaned to Everton by Millwall: Wayne Rooney.

Looking at Millwall's league record at this time, it's not that ugly. As long as we don't measure it by the standard of undefeated championships in the past, Millwall is still the favorite to compete for the championship this season.

However, in the Champions League in midweek, Millwall staged another unexpected plot.

3:2

"Defending champion Millwall defeated Camp Nou! The Lions' unbeaten streak in the Champions League has been ended!"

"With 2 points from 3 games, Millwall's hope of advancing to the top 16 is getting slimmer!"

The problem is still the same old problem.

Just after the FIFA match day, the weekend league was the main force. In the middle of the week, we played the Champions League again, again away from home. Millwall's players were hit by Barcelona's speed at Camp Nou and completely lost control of the game. They went from taking the lead to being reversed and then equalized.

After the score was defeated, Millwall only played good ball for 30 minutes. After that, the game developed in a crazy and unpredictable direction.

Millwall's dominance has declined, this is an indisputable fact.

Alonso cannot replace Pirlo, Lampard cannot match Nedved, and Klose has not reached Henry's level, let alone the midfielders and defenders further behind the central axis. Even if Millwall uses them

The king-level operating system is advancing, but the decline in hard power is particularly obvious in high-level confrontations.

However, Klinsmann is at least no longer confused about how the team should operate. Larsson, who performed extremely poorly at Camp Nou in midweek, has begun to be abandoned by Klinsmann. Larsson, who is over 30 years old,

Under the dual influence of World Cup syndrome and the FIFA virus, it is normal for the state to decline. In addition, Millwall's intensive schedule makes the body unable to cope with the load. It is natural to not be able to maintain a high level of performance if you just go to the game.

Klinsmann waited for Henry to come back. Before Henry came back, he chose to trust Ronaldo, a young genius with high energy and strong fighting spirit.

They lost the Champions League in the middle of the week, and faced Everton at home in the weekend. Millwall played another game that had a shadow of the past 80 years, winning Everton 2:0 without any blood, thus losing to Blackburn Rovers at Arsenal.

Top of the standings after two consecutive losses!

"Alonso is the button for Millwall to return to the top!"

When Alonso showed a performance of 93 pass success rate, 9 threatening passes, and one assist, David Miller made no secret of his admiration for him and believed that he could serve as an organizer in the post-Pirlo era.

The figure in the midfield must be Alonso, and it is definitely not Lampard, who Klinsmann chose at the beginning.

The new season started in mid-August, and by the time November rolled around, unknowingly, the new season had already started two and a half months ago.

Millwall are back at the top of the table, but find themselves in a life-or-death situation in the Champions League group stages.

When Klinsmann needs the team to work together to break through the Champions League's death group, there is an undercurrent in the Millwall dressing room.

In order to prepare for the life-and-death battle with Barcelona in early November, Klinsmann deployed a young lineup in the League Cup and still passed the test easily. When visiting Anfield next, Klinsmann still deployed a young lineup, hoping to give the Champions League three days later

Retaining more strength, Millwall was unfortunately defeated by Owen at Anfield, and the top spot was temporarily taken away by Arsenal.

When it came to the match day of the fourth round of the first group stage of the Champions League, the Lion King Stadium was packed with people. All Lions fans knew that if they could not win Barcelona in this game, Millwall would have a high probability of missing out on the top 16.

In addition, the opponent is Barcelona, ​​and the game is attractive enough.

Aldridge sat in the box waiting for the game to start.

Earl asked him curiously: "Dad, why is Barcelona ranked so low in the league but higher than Millwall in the Champions League?"

Aldrich thought for a long time and didn't know how to explain this actually common situation.

Because football itself has no rules.

Van Gaal joined Barcelona for the second time in the summer, Rivaldo terminated his contract and left early, and Riquelme, whom Barcelona introduced, was directly ignored by Van Gaal. Barcelona had a terrible start in La Liga and it was difficult to win.

If you don’t look at the Champions League and only compare the league, Millwall’s record is a few blocks behind Barcelona, ​​but Klinsmann has encountered much higher pressure from public opinion than Van Gaal. This is both normal and strange. In the final analysis, it is

Media energy is at work.

However, Barcelona's performance in the Champions League is in great contrast to that in the league. In the first three rounds, they won 2 and drew 1, beat Lens, tied with AC Milan, and beat Millwall. How the hell is this a team in the league?

What kind of record should a team with terrible performance have?

Millwall's technical and tactical system has not changed in this game. Klinsmann is supervising the game from the sidelines with a serious expression, while Van Gaal is sitting calmly on the coaching bench.

Just 5 minutes into the game, when Cristiano Ronaldo broke through and made a cross to assist Miroslav Klose to open the scoring, the entire Lion King Stadium was boiling!

Van Gaal had an ugly face. He was surprised by the fast Portuguese boy. He did not expect that Millwall would send Cristiano Ronaldo. In other words, Cristiano Ronaldo should not be a threat in terms of his age. He ignored it.

Barcelona's players also looked down upon him, which gave Ronaldo room to perform.

Klinsmann's face turned red with excitement. He was under great pressure to reuse Ronaldo, but now that Ronaldo can repay him with good performance, it can also relieve some of the pressure on his shoulders.

In the last game at Camp Nou, Millwall was in poor form, but today at the Lion King Stadium, most of the main players have rested for nearly 10 days, and they have the advantage of home court, plus Alonso's solid performance in midfield organization and dispatch.

Millwall's entire offensive and defensive system operated smoothly, keeping the game at a fast pace, repeatedly attacking Barcelona's defense, and eventually completely destroying it.

In the 31st minute, Ronaldinho attracted three defenders from the opponent on the left and then passed the ball to the back. The unmarked Ronaldo pushed the goal into the air to expand the score to 2:0.

Before the end of the first half, Millwall attacked from a corner kick. Ronaldinho drove the ball directly to the top of the penalty area, catching Barcelona's defense off guard. Lampard hit a beautiful volley from the outside, shocking the world.

, Millwall led Barcelona 3:0 in the first half!

The fans of the home team at Lion King Stadium exhaled and raised their eyebrows. They felt that their team played a hearty game today and that their opponents were completely helpless.

In the second half, Barcelona wanted to counterattack against the away team, but they were defeated by Millwall right after the opening kickoff. This time it was Ronaldinho who scored the goal.

With four goals in hand and Millwall sure of victory, Klinsmann finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the team to slow down the pace in order to save energy.

Barcelona only scored one goal in the final stage and could not save the disastrous ending.

"The defending champion Millwall finally ushered in a victory in the Champions League group stage. They defeated Barcelona with a score of 4:1, but unfortunately, after four games, AC Milan occupied the top spot in the group with 8 points, and Barcelona

Ranked second in the group with 7 points, Millwall had 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in four games.

Ranked third in the group with 5 points, the next round at home against Lens is still a life and death battle. AC Milan will then fight Barcelona. Millwall must win the next game if they want to break out of this group.

Lens, in the last round, they are going to San Siro to challenge AC Milan!"

Aldridge joined all the home team fans in applauding the team at the end of the game.

Today's game is quite convincing. As long as the Millwall team's physical fitness is good and the offensive and defensive system operates smoothly, with the strength of this group of players, it can still maintain the height that a giant should have. r1152
