Chapter 511: Giants

Valencia has created a unique style of play, can score goals, can win, but a threshold before the end of the championship trophy is their lack of quality: smart and sophisticated.
Millwall didn't have this quality before, so Aldridge in the European Cup Winners' Cup final, against Real Madrid two years ago, he gave the team instructions to attack aggressively, forget all the pressure, attack aggressively, and play self Style, don't care about anything else. Fortunately, I met Real Madrid without the Champions League for 30 years. The other party is also nervous, stressed and unable to calm down.
The team that played the final for the first time is the most taboo in terms of gains and losses. Valencia may not have this kind of emotion itself, but because the team is inherently lacking, in the case of a backward score, it is inevitable that this kind of emotion will be spawned.
Millwall has become very sophisticated today, steadily dominating the situation on the court. The rhythm is slow for more than 70% of the time, but suddenly the speed is fast. The impact of rhythm changes makes Valencia difficult to parry.
Celebrating Larson's goal, Aldridge also found a detail, a situation that he did not expect before the game.
He walked back to the coach's seat and said to Boas: "The opponent's left-back, Gerardo, give me a brief introduction."
Boas stood up and whispered next to Aldridge: "He was born in Real Madrid, but did not play for Real Madrid in the official game, and then came up from a low-level team, transferred to Valencia during the season, and played in La Liga. Less, one-on-one, Ronaldinho finished blasting him!"
Boaz's introduction is really simple enough.
Aldridge nodded thoughtfully.
Herado's appearance is not unexpected, because Kabooni suspended.
How old is Caboni? 35 years old.
How old is Hera? 26 years old.
The former is obviously older, while the latter is in the year of playing.
But for Valencia's defensive counterattack, defend first, then counterattack. If you can't defend well, you also counterattack!
If they are able to play on this back line, except for Pellegrino who is 29 years old, the youngest next is 34-year-old Giukic, and the remaining two defenders are 35 years old.
How do they guarantee defense?
experience!
They can't run down 10,000 meters in a row like a young man, 12, 3 or more.
But many young players are qualified for running distance, which is beyond the average level, but there may be three kilometers, five kilometers is running blindly, running randomly, is wasting physical energy to do useless work.
Veterans are different. With their experience, veterans run less, but they all run on the right path. They will appear there when the team needs it!
Otherwise, with an old line of defense, can Valencia reach the final?
Boas not only evaluated each other's abilities, but also provided a very important message.
Gerardo lacks top-level experience!
He played from a low-level team all the way, and transferred to Valencia less than half a year ago.
What game is it today?
Champions League final!
Valencia itself lacks the pressure resistance of this level of the event itself, plus a certain point of unsatisfactory performance, this is definitely an important information that can be used.
Before the game, Aldridge didn't expect it, because he didn't know much about Gerardo, and no one was sure as to whether the opponent had become a or a mess.
In the first half of the game, I didn’t find how bad the opponent was, because Larson was good at passing and running. Larson himself didn’t overwhelm one-on-one with his opponent. At this point, you can't see whether play is good or bad.
But Schneider's assist just moved up easily over Gerardo, and that scene made Aldridge take heart.
He walked to the side of the court and asked Schneider not to rush the ball when a chance for a throw-in occurred. He called Larson to the front and said to him: "You change position with Thierry, let Thierido Charge the gap between the opposing full-back and center-back."
Larson took the order and went back to talk to Henry, and the two positions were exchanged.
In the next game, Herado frequently panic.
First, he couldn't break Henry's ball.
Second, he would lose his position if he rushed to grab.
Henry got rid of, explosive force, ball control ability, is slightly stronger than Larson, single soldier ability blasted Gerardo on the right.
This forced the midfielder to defend the Gerado more when defending.
In the 44th minute of the game, Henry caught Gerardo and Falinos on the right. He didn't do it very well. He knocked the ball back to Schneider who came to the side. The latter made a straight pass to find the middle. Larson.
Larsson then knocked Nedvide to start forward at full speed. Due to Falinos' defense, Valencia's middle road was empty, and Larsson's pass also made Pellegrino and Jukic. Unexpectedly, Nedvide hit the ball from the front of the big penalty area and blasted the ball into the gate guarded by Canizares.
"2:0! The goal of Nedved made the crazy lion fans crazy in the stands! This long shot is really beautiful. Nedved is not a loss for Mr. Xin Kejinqiu. It seems that today can still get a new one. Champion medal!"
The two goals lead and the first half ends immediately. This time is very good. Millwall can return to the locker room to let Audridge remind the team to calm down, and also make Valencia feel more emotional before entering the locker room. heavy.
Aldridge applauded Nedved's goal, with a smile on his face, not overly excited.
Valencia's overall performance is much worse than he expected.
At least, they were not as stunning and unstoppable on the road to the finals.
Lack of championship temperament and the limitations of lineup tactics, Valencia has begun to collapse!
It must be said that Millwall's rhythm of control and high pressure forced the opponent to always collapse with the unfavorable situation. The behavior on the field is to lose tactical discipline, rush to rush, and lose the defensive position in the critical area. , Seemingly fierce, but in fact the dog jumped the wall.
The first half of the second half is the life and death stage, even if the game is reversed and turned over at the last moment, but the most critical time point in the routine is still in the first 20 minutes of the second half, because in the last 25 minutes, the less time, the less advanced It is easier to crash, and the leading side can also use prolonged time and reduce offense to strengthen the defense to keep the victory.
At halftime, Aldridge instructed the team to play more stable in the second half, maintain the overall formation, pay attention to not giving the opponent midfield cooperation space, and cut the opponent's formation when counterattack.
Cooper can only go to Gerardo, maybe there is a little worry before the game, but optimistically, in a good place, Lopez's attack on the left side of the front can also put pressure on the opponent and suppress the opponent's right attack.
But the reality is that Flea Lopez didn't get many performance opportunities today.
Millwall suppressed the midfield, Valencia made it difficult to move forward, rarely allowed the striker to get the ball comfortably, the offensive advancement became difficult, the midfield could not hold back, and the striker naturally did not get strong support.
In the 58th minute, Ronaldinho controlled the ball on the left, Nedved forward, Larson pulled out the penalty area to cover Nedved, Valencia defensive players are facing the enemy, Ronaldinho in Anglomar After pulling the ball in front of him and taking two steps back, he suddenly kicked and crossed.
The quality of his pass is extremely high and he is looking for the back point directly.
The ball bypassed the central defender's defense and went straight to the goal point. Herado had another problem!
He failed to keep up with Henry. Pellegrino went after the point but was obviously one step slower. He couldn't fly faster than the ball. Henry jumped in the back point and headed the goal!
Canizares blocked the near corner of the goal, Henry headed towards the far post, and Canizares flicked the right hand with his right hand open to block the ball!
However, the ball he blocked was in the penalty area. Nedved looked to make up the shot, but he did not step on the right step. He fell to the ground and failed to kick the ball.
But just behind Nedved, Larsson, who is one step faster than Hrad, kept up with the bow and pushed the ball forward. The half-height ball sent the ball into the goal!
"Larsen scored twice and Millwall led 3:0! This is a game where there is a feeling of watching the game: there is no suspense! Millwall not only suppresses Valencia in less than 60 minutes. The goal also destroyed Valencia! Valencia fans who painted bats on the stands before the game must be very sad, and fans of the Lions are now singing and dancing in the stands to celebrate their team is about to win the second club. The European Champions Cup, and the unprecedented triple crown in England!"
Valencia players hold their heads on the field incredible, but in a final, they have no resistance.
Mendieta's expression was dull, not sure why this happened.
The midfield combination he leads is one of the best in Europe. Even if he lost to Millwall today, it is still one of the best. This will not change.
The fact is, Millwall is stronger, it's that simple.
Cooper's cold expression only made people feel stubborn and sympathetic, and he was helpless.
Aldridge and Klinsmann, Jenson, three people embraced to celebrate the team's third goal, they can now release a little.
Valencia did not give up, fight more fiercely, people can not believe that this is a La Liga team, they are more active to use physical confrontation to obtain the ball, although the action is not rough, but compared with Millwall, the two The team seems to be wearing a reverse jersey.
In the 70th minute of the game, Aldridge made a substitution.
Neal comes on and replaces Southgate.
Six-year veteran Neil, today, Aldridge can give him more time to enjoy the Champions League final.
Southgate put the captain's armband on Nedved before putting it off, and applauded to the fans. He did not delay the time. He voluntarily ran to the sidelines to hug Neil, gave a high-five to Aldridge after walking out, and finally sat Rest on the bench.
Valencia fought fiercely and robbed fiercely, but this was not the game rhythm they were good at, but led to frequent loss of position, the defense line was disconnected, and the team was hit again in the 81st minute.
Ronaldinho hit the penalty area and passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Pirlo kept up with the ball and shot a long shot from the world wave again to penetrate the gate guarded by Canizares.
4:0.
The game was completely one-sided.
Aldridge made another substitution, replacing Kut with Keller.
Is it a shame for the goalkeeper to change the goalkeeper?
No, it's his reward to Keller. As a substitute goalkeeper, Keller has limited ability, but he has no complaints.
In the last 5 minutes he replaced Ronaldinho and allowed Glencharr to play.
Valencia's defeat has been decided, there is no ability to reverse the world, and the team is discouraged when time is running out.
Aldridge stood on the side of the court with a smug smile, and beside him stood the Millwall coaching staff and other players. Everyone was waiting for the game to end, and then rushed into the field to revel!
When the referee declared the end of the match with a whistle, most players in Valencia sat down on the ground, and the Lions fans cheered loudly in the French stadium.
"The 1999-2000 season UEFA Champions League final game ended, Millwall 4:0 Valencia, Millwall's exceptional performance this season has been stable in the league and the Champions League, they have created an undefeated in the league The record of winning the championship and the undefeated record in the Champions League are also winning the club’s second Champions League trophy!
