Chapter 448: Top Battle

Aldridge thinks he looks like a face.
It shouldn't be to look forward to Zaccheroni.
When the third goal was scored, Aldridge realized this.
Not to deny the opponent's coaching ability, but to change him to Zaccheroni, in the situation of two goals behind, there are not many options, especially considering the background of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Of course, when he coached the current AC Milan, as a guest against Millwall, although it is impossible to play a defensive formation of 5 guards, the configuration of 4 guards + 2 defensive midfielders is essential, except for tactical counterattacks. , Can there be more choices?
But maybe AC ​​Milan came to London with the arrogance of the world’s first league champion, maybe it’s just that Zaccheroni didn’t dare to risk changing the team’s mature skills and tactics, even if this set has been in the new season of Serie A. It proves that there is a big problem with defense.
If the time goes back 80 minutes, the game restarts. After 80 minutes, the situation may not be as it is now. The ball is less than one minute away from the opening, which directly declares the basis of AC Milan being fully passive.
Three goals ahead, is there any suspense in the game?
The remaining time is a lot, and there are nearly 30 minutes.
Aldridge still stood on the sidelines watching the game. He wanted to see how the red and black army faced the last half hour.
Will you give up?
Will it actively shrink to avoid the next goal drop?
Or delay the game time and escape the nightmarish Wembley as soon as possible?
The realistic picture is that AC Milan seems to be behind a goal, or the score is a draw, they are working hard to score goals, as if scoring a goal, they will win.
The midfielders run up and down, at all cost of physical strength, and their performance has won the respect of the audience.
But on the football field, winning or losing has nothing to do with respect.
In the 81st minute of the game, AC Milan's defense line, which had problems with excessive physical fitness, was in a hurry.
Pirlo eased past Boban in the midfield and then took the ball forward, passing diagonally in front of Albertini to Nedved, who ran out of space.
Henry pulled to the right, Larson crossed with him, Nedvide passed the ball on the right and handed the ball to Henry. Henry kept passing the ball and sent a straight plug to Larson. AC Milan's defense was unbearable. On one blow, Costa Kuta grabbed the ball and cut it in a hurry. Larson stopped the rhythm of passing the ball and wiped him off, then shot hard at the far corner and went to the next city.
"4:0, who could have imagined such a score before the match? The Premier League champion defeated Serie A champion AC Milan at Wembley!"
Ronaldinho ran to kneel in front of Larson and took the initiative to do the shoe-shine celebration for him.
Larsen, who scored twice, was quickly replaced by Aldridge to greet the audience with cheers and tribute.
Aldridge replaced three of them in one go, the striker Trident.
This weekend, they have another important league to play.
After the substitutions were completed, Aldridge turned to the coach seat. In his eyes now AC Milan, just doing a battle of trapped beasts on the field, bursting out of sorrow.
"The end of the match, the third round of the UEFA Champions League Group H group match ended, Millwall defeated AC Milan 4:0 at Wembley, winning three games and scoring 9 points, almost locked a qualifying place, AC Milan scored only one point in one draw and two losses in three games. The next three rounds will be a life-and-death match for AC Milan. This is probably a situation that everyone did not expect after the result of the group draw. People think that AC Milan will Together with Millwall, AC Milan is probably the first team to be out of this group! Two weeks later in San Siro, the two teams will meet again. The result of that game may be the fate of Millwall. Not much impact, but for AC Milan and the other two teams, it will have a direct impact on the qualifying situation! We will see you in San Siro two weeks later!"
Aldridge shook hands with Zaccheroni calmly and then twisted into the player's tunnel.
The process is enjoyable, but the result does not give him too strong a sense of accomplishment.
Originally the group qualifying was the right thing to do. After three games were completed, according to the current situation of this group, as long as the next three games won a match, the qualifying would be stable.
This gives him more room for platoon formations and player arrangements, which is a positive factor.
Can beat AC Milan, but not enough to make him proud and proud.
When he came to the post-match press conference, reporters asked him questions.
"Millwall beat AC Milan 4-0. Has your team reached a perfect level?"
"The score of 4:0 is shocking, but in fact the score does not prove the gap between the two teams, I would say Millwall is stronger, but if we say that we will win 3-4 in 10 games with AC Milan, That is obviously not possible. I think this is just an ordinary victory. AC Milan, regardless of the pressure from the qualifying situation, the recent state, and the guests coming from afar, etc., they are all passive. In an equal environment, they have no pressure for points and no expedition for expeditions. I think the competition will be more intense and exciting."
Aldridge kept a low profile as always.
In fact, Fleet Street has already deciphered Aldridge's intentions.
He doesn't want to boast in front of the media and sing praises for his team, which will lead to complacency and fluctuating mentality.
Be humble, low-key, victory or defeat is commonplace among military strategists. Today, it seems like you can reach the sky with your hand proud. When you are defeated tomorrow, you may not be able to get to the point of falling into the well.
This attitude that has accumulated over a long period of time is also a temperament that Aldridge needs to give the team as the head coach: Never think that you are already the best, and work tirelessly to break through the peak boundaries set by others for you!
"Except for a few factors you mentioned, what caused AC Milan to defeat the score?"
"The ball was conceded in less than 1 minute at the start. The ball was thrown to the edge of the cliff by AC Milan. Next, we scored two more goals for them through counterattacks. Finally, they could not keep up and lost the fourth. If they hold 6 points, then even if they lose the ball in the first minute, they can still feel suffocated. After all, there is still a chance to return to the home game, but they did not win in the previous two group matches. The defeat has buried a fortune. However, I have to praise my players. They performed well today, and they have met my requirements, whether offensively or defensively. This is why we are strong. Players’ personal abilities are only the foundation and tactical discipline. Factors such as game engagement, team awareness, etc. are invisible to the naked eye, and they are the key to their ability to form a strong team."
...
The next day, Millwall became the focal point of European football.
It wasn't their three-game winning streak in the group stage, nor was it because they defeated AC Milan.
Instead, their two goals in the game are continuously broadcast by football programs in major European media.
With a 23-foot pass, Henry and Ronaldinho teamed up to explode the 4-player defense line of AC Milan's backcourt. The process of these two goals, the previous one was pleasing to the eye, like a rhythmic poem. However, with the cooperation of the mercury, the smooth running and passing, the goal is like a natural one, and the team football is interpreted to the extreme. Many ball critics repeatedly review the whole process of this goal, and each single pass Factors such as choice, standing on the field, space utilization, etc. are analyzed in detail, like Millwall being studied as a precision machine.
The second goal, from Ronaldinho's touch to Henry's goal, took a total of 9.3 seconds before and after, in less than 10 seconds, the two people through their personal abilities and mutual cooperation, torn apart the opponent's defense line, fast Ingenious, coupled with the collision between Maldini and Ambrosini, this goal is more exciting when appreciated.
The commentary when the narrator's passion broke out was also directly used as the background.
No matter what you want to see from the football match, this goal scoring process can satisfy you the most.
The world of football will never be frozen in the past. No matter how exciting the game was yesterday, tomorrow, with the new game becoming the focus, the past wonderful will be replaced, and the battle between Millwall and AC Milan can continue after the game It has been commendable to receive attention, but life is still going on. The war has just ended, and a new war is coming quietly. Wolf smoke will never be extinguished.
Only 12 rounds have been played in the Premier League this season, but after 12 rounds, all European bookmakers have lowered the odds of winning the Premier League’s first popular team Millwall to an outrageous level, which is only higher than the bank’s regular interest rate. The return rate of 0.2, the odds of winning the Champions League in the same period, Millwall has also risen from the third-most popular championship to the first place before the season, the odds of winning the plunge!
Judging from the current situation in the Premier League, if Millwall cannot finish the trophy at the end of the season, then this may be the most incredible reversal in the history of the Premier League.
At the end of the first 10 rounds, Millwall led Manchester United by 9 points and Arsenal by 11 points.
After 12 rounds, Millwall led Manchester United by 12 points, and Manchester United lost again. The defeat of White Hart Lane made Ferguson's team drift away from the league championship again. Arsenal won two battles, especially at Stanford. Bridge all scored three points to win the key battle, they ranked third in the standings, but still 11 points away from Millwall.
As the weekend approached, Fleet Street began to ignite a new battle.
"The top battle is coming this weekend!"
In this weekend's league, Millwall is going to fight the top of the list. The opponent is the league runner-up. A team that should not be surprised is now occupying the second place in the standings.

The outside world expects them It's a fight for four, and now, it may be a fight for a championship!
In addition to the gimmick of the top game in this game, there are too many interesting points to watch.
O'Reilly and Aldridge are both representatives of the youngsters in English football, and the duel between the two young coaches is enough to attract attention.
Last season, Millwall had a one-on-one record against Leeds United. O'Reilly had the upper hand. The outside world regarded this game as Aldridge's revenge!
In the summer, the two reached a transfer transaction of up to 10 players for 60 million pounds, not to mention hatred, but it is also a big show for the old anti-Go.
Moreover, it is not a player. In the Leeds RUF, several former Millwall players joined forces to fight against the old club.
The fierce confrontation of the youth army is on the verge!
