Chapter 1184: Is it a coincidence?

When Platini saw Millwall's pre-match press conference before going to Italy at UEFA headquarters, he was furious at the headquarters!
Aldridge has already made it clear!
If you have the ability, you can modify the rules immediately!
Otherwise, when I defend the Champions League three months later, UEFA will obediently send the Champions League real trophy!
But if UEFA really changes the rules at this juncture, it will be laughed at by the world!
Platini, who made his debut in Dabao, is under pressure, especially in the Champions League, where the giants are still the ruling group.
Especially the Premier League team.
Millwall, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea.
The top 16 places, the Premier League took four!
And because of the rules of the draw of the top 16, they will not meet, according to the strong momentum of the Premier League at this time, maybe the top 8 places, the Premier League will occupy half of the country, even if the UEFA team moves to let them catch the fight, they can break into the top four. , There will still be two Premier League teams!
What he promised seems to be unfulfilled in the short term.
The top priority in front of him is: if Millwall wins the Champions League for four consecutive times, UEFA will not only award the authentic trophy to Millwall once, but it will be laughable and generous. At the same time, the European pattern is more difficult to change. Mill Wall Qiang, the attention it brings to the Premier League will also increase. In contrast, the Premier League is a league, and the distribution system will benefit other teams. Unlike La Liga, Real Madrid Barcelona is exclusive to other 18 teams. interest.
In the middle of the night alone, Platini's heart whispered: Can't let Millwall defend... Can't let Millwall defend...
On February 21, Millwall challenged Inter Milan. This is the second consecutive season that the two teams met in the European War. As the biggest beneficiary of the "Phone Gate" event, Inter Milan's lineup strength has been well supplemented. Strong, such as the introduction of Ibrahimovic on the front line, the digging of Maicon from Ligue 1, the addition of the magical Grosso and so on.
Mancini drummed up a set of 4312 formations that looked very powerful in Inter Milan in Italy. In the league, he was a must-have in the league, and his technical and tactical system was praised by the outside world.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Inter Milan's overall strength crushes other opponents in the league. It's that simple. It doesn't make much sense to talk about the pros and cons of technology and tactics when the strength is weak.
Millwall will play the League Cup final on the weekend after 4 days, so they will be slightly conservative in the first leg of the Champions League knockout, but on the scene, the Serie A leader lost his face at home and was completely suppressed by Millwall!
Aldrich’s requirements before the game are simple: there may not be great opportunities, but they must be seized!
They did not play a destructive rhythm, but based on control.
But at the end of the 90-minute game, the score is 0:0.
Aldridge was furious after returning to the locker room after the game.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they were scolded by his head and face!
"This is your performance? Do you want to score yourself? But what? You can't score! Why don't you pass when your teammates have a chance? Why is someone in front of you blocking your shooting line and force yourself? You have failed your teammates Our efforts! You disappointed me too much! Selfishness! Remember to me that Millwall’s team interests will always be the first! After returning to the club, your vacation will be cancelled and you will stay in the youth team’s locker room. Take a good look at the slogans posted on the walls. The slogans you have read countless times in the youth team: playing for yourself means playing for the opponent! Playing for the team means playing for yourself!"
Aldridge generally did not get angry, but he started to get angry. Even the onlookers were chilled, Ronaldo and Messi dared not have any rebuttal defenses, and with their heads slightly frustrated and left the city with Milan.
Although the result of 0:0 is a bit disappointing, for Millwall, the advantage of promotion is still on their side. After returning to the home two weeks later, they can advance to the quarterfinals as long as they beat Inter Milan.
After returning to London, Messi and Ronaldo dared not defy Aldridge’s orders. The other players went to the youth team one day. They attracted the attention of youth team players such as Bell and Royce, but they both I came to the dressing room in casual clothes, sat quietly on the bench, and looked up at the slogan on the wall. It has been many years since the slogan posted on the wall. The two occasionally chatted a few words, exchanged, temporarily Alleviated the dispute between the two kings!
By the weekend's League Cup final, Aldridge still sent Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi to play at the same time. He didn't say anything, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi knew that this League Cup final was an assessment for both of them!
If you continue the "selfish" performance against Inter Milan in the middle of the week, then it is likely to be abandoned by Aldridge!
The reason is very simple, did not win.
To win, nothing is a problem.
Can't win, any small problem is a big problem!
Hiddink has been "learned" in the league. Aldridge again played against Hiddink in the League Cup final today.
Millwall's strong midfield control, coupled with the outstanding performance of the new attack group, especially Ronaldo and Messi are no longer "selfish", Millwall's attack has revived, the ball transfer is very fast, and personal breakthroughs are also Just right, coupled with Kaka and Villa's needle penetration in the middle and from time to time the offensive focus shifted to them, Millwall defeated Chelsea 2-0 in 90 minutes to win the League Cup championship, Ronaldo and Messi each built one Merit.
During the championship celebration, Aldridge emphasized the team's philosophy once again. It seems that this game also proved the correctness of the criticism against them in the middle of the week.
See, when you play for yourself, you can't score, and the team can't win.
When you play for the team, you can score goals, we can win, and now we hold the trophy to celebrate the championship!
With the potential of winning the League Cup, Millwall sent a substitute to the main team to recuperate, and ten days later, he competed with Inter Milan at the Lion King Stadium.
March 8.
The Lion King Stadium is full of people, and Millwall fans are not worried about this game. As long as they defeat their opponents, they will be promoted. Looking at the first round of Inter Milan’s attack, even if there are two towers, Adriano and Ibrahimovic Strikers, but their offense is very weak, resulting from the disadvantage of midfield control.
Aldridge's mentality for this game was still normal, but on the day of the game, UEFA suddenly changed the referee group, based on the physical discomfort of the previously designated referee. When he saw the temporarily replaced referee , His face is very ugly.
This person, he will not forget, although the memory is very vague, but after seeing it now, he has an ominous hunch.
The referee is: Tom Herning!
The wood has become a boat, and Audridge cannot protest anything out of thin air. When entering the stadium, he comforts himself as much as possible: everything is a coincidence, how can there be so many conspiracy theories? Don't mess up!
He walked into the Lion King Stadium, and as always, the scene would cheer like waves, and the fans greeted him.
Aldridge walked to shake hands with Mancini. Mancini was proud of Serie A, but when he came to the Champions League, his mentality was really like a thin ice. In front of Aldridge, he did not let his timidity be exposed as much as possible.
The players of the two teams played energetically.
"The second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals of the 2006-2007 season is about to begin. The defending champion Millwall meets Inter Milan at home. In the first round, the two teams shake hands at Meazza 0:0 and today, they will be in the Lion King. Battle for life and death on the court!
Let's take a look at the starting list of both parties.
Millwall started 433.
Goalkeeper: Buffon.
Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Ram.
Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.
Forwards: Messi, Villa, C Ronaldo.
Inter Milan started with 4312.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
Guards: Maicon, Materazzi, Cordoba, Grosso.
Midfielders: Zanetti, Vieira, Cambiasso, Stankovic.
Forwards: Adriano, Ibrahimovic. "
The habit that has been cultivated for many years makes Aldridge focus completely on the game once it starts.
Usually this concentration will automatically ignore the existence of the head referee. The most perfect head referee should be an invisible person.
With the massive cheering of Lion King Stadium, Millwall quickly launched an offensive at home!
The players of the whole team entered the game very quickly. As soon as they opened the game, they accelerated the rhythm, passed it quickly, transferred back and forth, and ripped the opponent's defense.
After two back-and-forth horizontal transitions, the ball came to Messi's feet. The Argentine genius, who has established his main position this season, began to show his simple, practical and unsolved extraordinary skills!
He stopped the ball from the right side of the line and started to take a step back, took a step forward to shake off Cambiasso, then cut off Cambiasso in the middle, and defended in Vieira and Grosso. At that time, Messi continuously accelerated the dribbling, rushed past between the two, and avoided Vieira's shovel!
Before coming to the penalty area, Messi didn't stick the ball anymore. As Vieira's defense was broken, the center space was out, and he immediately passed the ball to Villa running towards the center position!
Just when his foot passed the ball, someone stretched out from the front and stepped on his ankle, causing him to scream and fall to the ground!
Villa knew what to do when he was in position, he kicked the ball, gently knocked the ball to himself in front of Materazzi, Kaka shot out from behind him, led the ball into the penalty area, single-handed ball!
However, the referee's whistle sounded!
Penalty for Inter Milan!
Kaka ignored the whistle, almost the next second, direct volley volley, the ball straight into the net nest!
After scoring, Kaka turned back and found that the goal was invalid, and Messi, painfully fell outside the penalty area, concealing his face with one hand, patting the turf with one hand, and Cordoba standing in front of him to show his hand that he did not intentionally foul!
Head referee Herning signaled Millwall to get a free kick outside the penalty area, and he just gave Cordoba a verbal warning and did not even show a yellow card!
