The light rain was still falling, and the battle at the Lion King Stadium was about to break out. The only worry for the Lions fans in the stands was that Nedvěd was reported to be unwell in training before the game. To be on the safe side, Aldrich put him on the bench.
, a new generation of rising star Cristiano Ronaldo enters the starting lineup.
Ronaldinho plays attacking midfielder, Cristiano Ronaldo plays left winger, Henry plays center forward, and Larsson plays right winger.
The sequencing of Millwall's frontcourt offensive combination has been running smoothly in Aldridge's hands, because the players' comprehensiveness has been further improved in past training and games, unlike some players who can only shine in one fixed position.
Change the position and stop eating completely.
Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge seemed tepid, but in fact he was a bit sanctimonious.
Under the cover of his calm demeanor, his heart was filled with countless guilty pleasures.
In the past, when he played against famous coaches such as Lippi, Ferguson, and Wenger, they were already famous figures. Aldridge would feel a sense of accomplishment if he defeated them.
The guilty pleasure in my heart now comes from defeating Mourinho's Porto in the UEFA Cup final last season.
Mourinho, Deschamps, and in the future Guardiola and other figures are still relatively well-known in the coaching circle, and some have not yet started coaching. Generally speaking, they have not reached the level of famous coaches at the top positions.
Although it is impossible to nip it in the bud, but giving these future famous coaches a painful blow at this time, Aldridge will have an uncontrollable pleasure in his heart.
Weak, but he is not ashamed of it. There is no such thing as fairness in football circles.
In the past, Aldridge and Millwall were like the protagonists in fairy tales, growing from weak to strong, overcoming all difficulties and becoming famous all over the world.
Now, Aldridge and Millwall will become the villains and ultimate bosses in those mythical stories.
An evil god and dragon-like existence. Aldridge wants to personally kill Deschamps, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Guardiola and all other famous coaches in European football!
On the road to their passionate yearning for ideals and their vain attempt to slay dragons, destroy gods and dominate the world, crush all their ambitions with your own hands!
Let them understand: The strongest man who rules the European battlefield is named Millwall. You can worship him, but you can never overthrow him or defeat him!
Perhaps, his inner thoughts are just that Aldrich hopes that his image in the children's hearts will become taller, because his son has always worshiped his father as a strong man.
Being strong is not just what you say.
When the game started, Millwall passed the ball back, and the frontcourt offensive formation spread out. Alonso started to pass the ball horizontally in the midfield parallel to the pressing full-back.
Monaco is full of idealism, and they are also using passionate offensive football as much as possible to conquer everything. They overturn the old order and overthrow the rule of the strong.
When their trident rushed across the half court to harass, Alonso was a little surprised. He didn't expect the opponent to be so bold!
He then observed the opponent's half-court formation, which looked normal and reasonable. The players' positions were distributed and kept at a distance, and it looked as regular as a textbook.
Have a question?
Big problem!
Textbooks are textbooks, and there is always idealism in textbooks.
Reality often teaches you to be a new person.
Monaco thought that their 7-man defensive line was guarding Millwall's trident, plus midfielder Ronaldinho, who was pressing past half-time. They were defending 4 out of 7. Could it be that they couldn't defend it?
It seems that it can be prevented.
However, when Alonso made a cross pass and handed the ball to Schneider who was pressing forward decisively, Schneider rushed past Roten and entered the opponent's half. Millwall's offensive number changed, from 4 to 4.
5.
At the same time, Ashley Cole on the other side also moved forward quickly. He saw the opening and did not hesitate, and 5 became 6.
There was a difference in rhythm, and in an instant, not only did Millwall's offensive numbers differ by only one man from the opponent's defenders, but the opponent's seemingly tight defense immediately began to collapse.
Because Schneider did not insist on playing wide.
He cut directly inside the attacking midfielder.
His dribbling route disrupted Monaco's defensive layout of the backline. When someone came to mark him, Ronaldinho was under less pressure and could run freely. He and Schneider performed a short pass and a 2-over-1 coordination. After this cooperation,
Ronaldinho goes straight forward!
Monaco's backline marking is in complete chaos!
Ashley Cole, Henry, Larsson, and Ronaldinho.
In a flash of speed, Millwall pressed the opponent's back line on the offensive end.
They didn't know how to coordinate man-to-man defense, and it felt like Millwall was like locusts crossing the border and couldn't be defended at all.
The players on the defensive midfielder quickly chased Ronaldinho into the penalty area, but in the end, they still missed one person.
Aldrich still has different priorities when it comes to using both sides as forwards.
Schneider's side prefers to support, while Ashley Cole's side prefers to attack.
Therefore, when Ashley Cole enters the penalty area and transforms into a forward, Ashley Cole's threatening target can replace a person who should have been in the position where Ashley Cole now enters the penalty area: the left winger.
Ronaldo!
Schneider's long pass obviously did not go into the middle of the penalty area, but went to the left side of the outside of the penalty area.
When Ashley Cole entered the penalty area, Ronaldo pulled out. This is a requirement in tactical training. Maintain the layering of the offense. There are ambushes and two-point attacks on multiple lines!
Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, which suddenly surprised everyone in Monaco.
He dribbled the ball laterally and continuously dodged the defensive player who rushed out of the penalty area. When he was close to the goal and facing the center, he suddenly took off his foot and fired a long shot.
The angle was quite right, but the penalty area was crowded, and the ball hit the opponent's defender's leg midway and was refracted. Monaco goalkeeper Roma had already made a save, but he didn't expect the ball to refract and fly in the opposite direction of his save, or
He said that if he stood still, the ball would be within his control, but he moved and the ball went into the goal!
"Millwall struck first! A dream start! The 19-year-old genius Ronaldo scored a goal for the team in the first minute of the game! The Portuguese young man who replaced Nedvěd today was so calm. He swayed two people horizontally in front of the penalty area before taking action.
An angry shot, although this ball has
Luck. But the process was very smooth. Monaco still lacked experience. When Millwall's players poured into their penalty area, it was obvious that they were panicked and missed Ronaldo, allowing him to easily receive Schneider.
Passed the ball and completed the goal!"
Cristiano Ronaldo rushed to celebrate on the sidelines, excited. The Lions fans did not hesitate to applaud and cheer. They looked at Cristiano Ronaldo with full expectations. They firmly believe that this Portuguese boy can completely take over Larsson's position in the near future and become Milvo
Our second hero king, or, as our young coach’s mantra goes: Every player is special. Ronaldo will become a special being.
Ronaldo's growth this season has been very obvious. The European Golden Boy Award seems to have had a positive stimulation on him. Aldridge has no worries about Ronaldo. Many experienced seniors in the team are helping Ronaldo grow. The only thing is,
He just hopes that Ronaldo will not be distracted by off-field matters as much as possible.
Many young people cannot escape the stage of being pushy or being a philanderer.
Cristiano Ronaldo is no exception. Dying his hair and wearing earrings may be a bit fashion-forward, but he has also begun to be described as a playboy off the court. Aldridge also feels helpless. Apart from the occasional reminder, Aldridge has no extra time.
Come worry about this shit.
Fortunately, he knows that Ronaldo is only for young and immature people. There are many temptations in the colorful world. Who can be completely undisturbed?
Trying, experiencing, and so on has accumulated experience, the mind has settled, and the inner essence has been washed away. Ronaldo will naturally mature and focus on career.
As long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, such as soliciting prostitutes or holding sex parties, Aldrich will naturally not say much. Stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, who are starting to become famous, are young, handsome and rich, and they are attracting bees and butterflies in their own right.
In order to prevent him from being seduced by those socialites and socialites, no one else can change anything for him except himself.
Aldridge had just applauded the players twice when his nose suddenly felt itchy. He quickly lowered his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, covered his nose and sneezed twice.
This scene made the narrator laugh.
"It seems that it started to rain suddenly today and the weather turned cold again. Sir Hall seems to have caught a cold. This is a big problem. If he really catches a cold, he will definitely leave his job. Haha, his opponents must be very happy."
Colds are similar to "cancer" alarms in clubs, because once infected, they are a large-scale hidden danger. Such a blow may ruin a team's efforts throughout the season.
However, Aldrich definitely didn't have a cold, but his nose suddenly itched. He quickly returned to normal, and there was no problem at all.
Deschamps' expression didn't change much. He just signaled the team not to lose confidence on the sidelines.
Aldrich thought Deschamps was being naive.
Facing Millwall's world-class offensive firepower, Monaco does not have world-class defensive capabilities. In this case, if they are unwilling to put up a pragmatic and intensive defense, do they still want to defeat Millwall?
Just like when they faced Real Madrid, it wasn't that Real Madrid didn't have enough offensive firepower. In the two rounds, Real Madrid beat Monaco by 5 goals, which is already very impressive. It's almost the same as Monaco conceding 6 goals in 6 games in the group stage. The reason why Monaco can
The promotion was due to Real Madrid's defensive problems, which were top-heavy and allowed Monaco to score 5 goals. Then, Monaco advanced with the advantage of away goals.
Perhaps Deschamps had high hopes for something other than defense. He expected the goal to be conceded. However, it seemed that the goal was conceded a little early today.
Monaco played away today. At the Bernabeu, they conceded 4 goals. At the Lion King Stadium, as long as they can score goals and concede no more than 3 goals, what can't Deschamps accept?
Aldridge gestured to the team before the restart.
Monaco kicked off and Millwall's overall formation retreated.
When Deschamps saw this driver, he suddenly became angry.
Could it be that this young coach counterattacked after scoring a goal?
He remembers how pragmatic and strong Juventus was when they faced Millwall.
If Millwall really wants to fight back and hold on to a one-goal advantage, I'm afraid Monaco won't have much of an advantage even if they return to home.
So he directed the team to resolutely commit to the attack.
Five minutes later, Deschamps looked pale.
Aldrich smiled slightly and gave Henry a thumbs up on the court.
Millwall's side counterattack broke Monaco's defense.
Alonso instigated a diagonal pass to the wing. Cristiano Ronaldo ran in half-court and passed to Ronaldinho in front of the opponent's back line. The latter passed the ball into the penalty area. Henry countered offside and successfully volleyed the ball into the opponent's goal.
