After winning at Stamford Bridge in the first round, they drew with Leicester City and Blackburn at home and away respectively. The problem that Aldridge was worried about soon came to him.
Leicester City had 0 shots in the game, plus one person was sent off at the last minute. They worked hard and gained 1 point that made them ecstatic.
As for the away game at Blackburn, to be precise, Millwall drew with Blackburn.
Because the European Super Cup was to be played in three days, Aldridge made bold rotations in the away game, and boom boom boom, Blackburn scored two goals in the first half due to counterattacks. In the second half, they just tied the score and were led again by the opponent until
In the 87th minute, Ronaldo's goal tied the score.
Aldrich experienced some of the bitterness of "bringing it upon himself."
At the beginning of last season, the Premier League team attacked Millwall. Those who used to defend against counterattacks started to use 4321, and the effect was pretty good. Needless to say, this season, they will continue to use this routine. This tactic was designed by the national team.
The first step is to play the most efficient anti-counterattack, and it is simple and crude, stealing the ball, counterattacking, and simple passing by two or three people in the frontcourt.
Pass, make full use of the space, be efficient and decisive, Premier League teams learn to use it, and in turn deal with Millwall, especially Millwall this season, as they strengthen their wing offense and the midfield defense is also in the process of rebuilding,
Instead, he became the best target. With Blackburn's tough style of play, the threat was clear when he fought back.
Millwall is paying the price of growth, training De Rossi and Alonso, and subjecting them to various tests. It is inevitable that terrible games will happen. Aldridge has psychological expectations for all this.
The technical and tactical changes of the third generation Crazy Lion have also attracted the attention of Fleet Street.
One game is not representative, but if Aldridge insists on a traceable tactic for three consecutive games, then it means that Millwall is undergoing obvious changes.
David Miller "criticized" Aldrich's deviance in a flying style.
"Sir Hall not only abandoned England's traditional 442, but also created a wave of 433 in England that swept Europe. Now, he has begun to create a subversive 244 formation! Yes, after watching the recent Millwall game, if you
At the scene, you will find that Millwall's formation is arranged like this most of the time: 1 goalkeeper, 2 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 4 forwards. If compared with the starting screen
Compared with the 433 played above, what is the change? Two full-backs! One is in the midfield and the other is in the striker. The two full-backs will switch freely. This is a detailed change from Millwall's previous 433.
In the past, Millwall actually played a 334 formation, with 3 defenders, 3 midfielders, and 4 forwards. The change was to defend with a full-back, and a full-back to top the midfielder. Originally, the center was
Nedved on the field is actually a shadow striker. Regardless of the changes in Millwall's main attack routine today, Sir Hall's courage is admirable. I think if other English coaches dared to arrange their troops like this, they would attract countless
criticism, and if a foreign coach does this, he will be evaluated as a tactical genius when he succeeds. Only Sir Hall, when he does this now, we will be looking forward to it: whether this will form a
Becoming a brand new trend? But I need to remind Sir Hall that in this 244, there is no problem with Nesta as the defender. If Nesta cannot face such a challenging task, then there will be no one on this planet.
No defender can give Sir Hall confidence, but another defender, Southgate, has gone down in history as England's great captain, and he will celebrate his 33rd birthday next week."
Aldridge led the team to Monaco, preparing to join AC Milan at the top of the European Cup and compete for the honor of the King of the Cup.
Originally, Millwall's achievements last season were far behind compared to the previous season, which was a good time for many opponents to ridicule and add insult to injury.
But unexpectedly, the new season has just begun, and Millwall is still among the teams attracting European attention!
00,01,02,03, this is Millwall’s fourth consecutive year in the European Super Cup!
As the champions of the Champions League for the past three times, and today as the champions of the UEFA Cup, the UEFA Cup is certainly nothing to show off, but it can be annoying to people. Even though they are down, their exposure is still the focus of Europe.
"It is exciting to play against Carlo. AC Milan won the Champions League last season. Being able to play against the powerful AC Milan is also what Millwall is looking forward to. We are never afraid of strong enemies. The stronger the enemy, the more excited we are.
, there are reservations in the league, but also for tomorrow’s game! We look forward to giving the most exciting game to fans around the world, and then, Millwall goes home with the championship trophy.”
When attending a UEFA press conference in Monaco, Aldridge's opening remarks were originally very formal, complimenting his opponents, but his last words made the Italian reporters at the scene laugh in anger.
Listening to the young marshal's serious remarks, everyone nodded frequently, thinking that the young marshal was trying to keep a low profile, but in the end, he naturally said that he wanted to take the championship trophy home, and no one reacted at all.
You are the UEFA Cup champions, not the fucking Champions League champions of the past few years!
For Millwall's elimination from the Champions League group last season, the media will exaggerate revenge. The first target of revenge is AC Milan. Who made AC Milan win the Champions League? The second target of revenge is Barcelona. Barcelona also occupied the two places in the group stage.
one.
Regarding this point, Aldridge calmly shook his head and replied: "No, there is no hatred. If you say so, it is difficult to calculate the account clearly, because I seem to remember the historical records of Millwall against Barcelona and AC Milan.
, Millwall should have an absolute advantage. According to your theory, should Millwall take revenge? Or was it revenged last season?"
Interpreting Millwall from another angle, they have a very strong advantage: their record of fighting against foreign teams!
They will not be like a certain strong team, who may have had a "history of grudges" with someone more than ten years ago. Millwall only officially started "diplomacy" during the Aldridge era, so as long as they can
Looking at the history of the foreign teams that caused them pain, to sum up, Millwall is definitely not qualified to mention the word "revenge"!
Aldridge is also unwilling to put Millwall in a sad and angry position following the media's momentum.
He expressed his respect for Ancelotti, and the proud Ancelotti also expressed respect and expectations for him.
Two coaches who sat together in 1997 and talked about competing in the European war, it was only six years later that they finally officially faced each other on the green field to compete for a tasteless championship.
The next day, Louis II Stadium in Monaco.
Aldridge and Ancelotti met on the sidelines. The two did not shake hands, but hugged each other directly.
When coaching Juventus, Ancelotti was ranked second in the league and had a miserable record in the European war. However, in AC Milan, he ushered in spring.
After Aldrich hugged him, he smiled and asked, "Are you going to torture me today?"
Ancelotti laughed, his eyes shining, and said: "You have 4 Champions Leagues, 5 European Super Cups, no, still 4. The one last year was Klinsmann's. Tell me, do I want to beat you?"
?”
"So what if I win? A European Super Cup is not a league championship or a Champions League championship, so what? Let's not make another agreement? Let's meet in Germany next May?"
Ancelotti seemed to be frightened and waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no, no, I will never make such an agreement with anyone again. It's so unlucky!"
After thinking for a moment, Aldridge suddenly realized it, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Carlo, you disappoint me so much! How I wish today was the Champions League final, that would be interesting!"
Ancelotti didn't dare to make an agreement with Aldridge because he was really not afraid of Millwall. Millwall was knocked out of the group stage last season. He led AC Milan to finally win the throne. What is there to be afraid of?
However, he felt that it was really unlucky for him to make such an agreement in advance.
Back then, he, Aldrich, and Tigana agreed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League together. The three young coaches guided the country. How majestic was that?
What's the result?
Aldridge and Tigana staged a peak battle in the Champions League semi-finals. His Parma, sorry, went home after the group stage!
Later in 1999, he and Aldridge agreed to meet at Camp Nou.
Well, Aldridge's Millwall has diarrhea.
Juventus, led by him, was originally in a great situation. He also lamented that Aldridge broke the contract, but the result was unexpected. Manchester United made a shocking reversal and blocked Juventus from the final!
Ask Ancelotti to make an agreement with Aldridge today. He wouldn't dare. Let him say that AC Milan aims to defend the Champions League, but he will never agree with Aldridge that AC Milan and Millwall will meet next year.
Arrive proudly at the Schalke Stadium.
"There is a chance, there is a chance. One day, we will compete in the Champions League final. Although I may not be able to win three consecutive Champions League titles like you, I believe I can surpass you in the number of Champions League titles!"
Ancelotti said so.
Aldridge spread his hands and grinned: "Originally, I would agree with what you said, but now the situation has changed, Carlo, you have no chance to do this! Because I am here, the coach of Millwall.
position."
Ancelotti smiled slightly and said: "Just because you are back, it would be more meaningful if I won more championships than you! Aldridge, everyone says that contemporary football is your era, no, no, no,
I won’t admit it!”
"Hahahaha, Carlo, that's right! Use all your skills to see whether you cry and admit it, or whether I am defeated by you like a lost dog! Today, let's just warm up."
After Aldridge finished speaking, he hugged Ancelotti again. The two patted each other on the back, then released their hands at the same time, took a step back, looked at each other with piercing eyes for three seconds, turned around and walked towards the coaching bench, silently
A smile.
Before the game even started, the two coaches were "tit-for-tat", not only them, but also the players on both sides in the tunnel.
When Ronaldinho frequently turned his attention to Pirlo and Gattuso, Gattuso couldn't help but glared at Ronaldinho and said loudly: "What are you looking at me for? I will not admit that I have won 5 Champions Leagues. You have to see,
Just look at him!"
He pushed Pirlo and, as expected, sold his good friend.
Pirlo was still as elegant as before, smiling helplessly at the Millwall generals.
"Damn, Pavel and the others still have 5 Super Cups, do you? You only have 4, haha, you only have 4."
Ronaldinho whistled.
Pirlo coughed lightly and said calmly: "In two hours, I will have my fifth Super Cup trophy."
"Ah! Who gave you confidence?"
"I!"
Gattuso stood up directly, glared at Ronaldinho fiercely, and warned: "You'd better not get close to the penalty area, otherwise, hehe."
Ronaldinho looked elsewhere and said unconcernedly: "Someone said the same thing last season, but I still didn't do it in the game."
"I have 5 Champions Leagues!"
"Fuck, didn't you admit it just now? How dare you admit it in 1998 and 2000? I'm embarrassed to say that I had a share in the 1998 Champions League, right? Andre?"
Shevchenko smiled bitterly at the front of the team and turned to look at Ronaldinho, but did not answer. Maldini, who was standing in front of him, seemed to want to stand up for his teammates, but Shevchenko waved his hand to him, indicating that it was okay.
Gattuso's face turned red and he pushed Pirlo out again r1152
