Chapter 766: Battle of the Camp Nou


"Crazy Lion advances to the semifinals of the Champions League!"
"Defending champion domineering!"
"Mad Lion defeats the Catalan giant!"
...
Millwall declared a defending ambition with a score of 6:3. While other games were still full of suspense in the remaining 90 minutes, Millwall was promoted by the media and had advanced to the semifinals.
At the same time, after reviewing the game, the critics thought that Barcelona lost very superficially.
The reporter wrote a report on the war and wrote that Barcelona was full of courage at the Lion King Stadium and tragically lost the qualification for promotion.
But in the eyes of the ball critics, Barcelona is not even clear what level the team is Millwall!
The press conference announced that Bayern Munich had lost the match in a double match against Millwall.
However, ball critics in turn use Bayern Munich to compare with Barcelona, ​​but instead think that Bayern Munich lose more meaningfully.
The reason is, can Bayern Munich not attack as bravely as Barcelona? Yes, absolutely!
Hessfield knew that, regardless of whether to let go, without thinking about Millwall's advantages, without targeting restrictions, Bayern Munich kicked out his own style and fought "courageously", then after 90 minutes, Bayern Munich should also be able to achieve Score goals, but the probability of losing the game may exceed 70%!
Only when people are used to seeing Millwall suppressing their opponents and suddenly discover that Barcelona is bravely fighting Millwall, will they appreciate this spirit.
If you turn back time for two years, you will find that it is because Millwall's offensive firepower is too strong, forcing the opponent to have to rack his brain to limit the mad lion and have to take the defensive counterattack routine, which weakens the self-centered Game attitude, playing against Millwall? Many strong teams did this two years ago. Then what? The whole army was annihilated and played against Millwall. The key point was not whether they could break through Millwall's gate, but the fact that such a counterattack would have a very high probability of losing the game!
Because Millwall has to fight all opponents to strengthen defense, it is only later that people are used to seeing more than 95% of Millwall's games to suppress opponents.
Is Barcelona brave?
In the eyes of golf critics, it is ridiculous to think that it is brave. Barcelona just felt the taste of failure after the attack, and did not even give Millwall any trouble.
Millwall played Bayern Munich, and Aldridge continued to adjust on the spot, playing Barcelona. Except for the final substitution, Millwall almost didn't even change the rhythm on the court.
This game is very simple. You come and go when it comes to offensive football. You enter one. I enter one. At the end of 90 minutes, Millwall takes away the victory. It's that simple.
In the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this weekend, Aldridge sent on the bench and continued to train Ronaldo and Kaka, the wild lion geminis promoted by the outside world.
At Lion King Stadium, Millwall's team was full of energy, and the full-bodied bench lineup launched a full-field sawing offensive and defensive battle with Newcastle United. The scene was extremely exciting.
Millwall, who is not the main force, naturally has no strong game dominance. Newcastle United coach Robson also knows this, and he launched a counterattack with Millwall. He dare not say that it is absolutely correct, but he can fight with Millwall anyway. It's half a catty.
Newcastle United under Robson's team has a good fighting ability this season. Both sides offensive and defensive sawing, but not many goals, when the game is 90 minutes fast, the score is 1:1.
Seeing that there might be a rematch on another day, Aldridge gambled and replaced a striker, then used a long pass to find the last chance.
He bet on winning, almost at the last second, Millwall created a Newcastle United melee, Alonso found a shot in the penalty area to send the ball into the other goal, the whole Lion King stadium was boiling!
Seeing the team countdown to Newcastle United on the sidelines, Aldridge jumped with excitement.
Robson sighed and felt discouraged.
Probably really old, there is no risk-taking spirit of young people.
He actually didn’t expect Millwall’s backup lineup to grow so fast, that the not-so-famous players, in fact, formed a team that already had the strength of the Premier League midstream team, plus home battle, Newcastle United They are comparable.
The coach wanted to drag on and consume Millwall. The more he waited until the end of the game, the better time for the final effort. However, Millwall had no signs of slack and the overall formation was not flawed. The coach was hesitant. With this hesitation, Millwall moved instead, and Audridge's risky gambling withdrew a midfielder and added a forward. As a result, Newcastle United was killed.
After the game, Aldridge and Robson spoke on the sidelines.
"Aldrich, every time I see you, I feel older."
Aldridge was speechless: you are almost 70, can you not be old?
Compared with Robson's emotions, Audridge didn't feel much. After all, at Robson's age, it was normal to feel more emotions.
After the FA Cup promotion, the Millwall League was ten in a row, concentrating on entering the track of the cup competition. The young players in the bench were training more seriously and actively. They had few games left. The league may have two or three games. , And then the semi-finals of the FA Cup, the opponent is the rival Chelsea.
This season is the time when this group of bench players began to gradually get rid of the shadow of training, and really contributed to the honor of Millwall. Some players have also been recognized by the outside world, such as Metzelder and Alonso, which are considered famous this season. The promotion is huge. The new Kaka itself became famous for its genius terms when it arrived. Now it is free from doubts from the outside world, and its fame should not be greatly improved.
In early April, Millwall returned to Barcelona. In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Millwall's team was full of enthusiasm. The players are now pursuing not only the result, but also enjoying the game. The last round was with Barcelona. They were very excited to fight, the opponents were of a high level, and they would not be strangled madly in the game, they could play as much as possible. Therefore, in the second round of the match, Millwall players have no problem with the fighting intention.
After Barcelona's fiasco in the last round, Catalonia was shrouded in a haze. Head coach Rexacci confessed to playing Barcelona's offensive football style before the game, which was praised by the Spanish media and waited until the game was over. Later, the media again criticized him for ignoring his opponent's offensive strength, and now his life is not so good.
I don’t know if the score of 6:3 can make him wake up. Aldridge looked forward to it for two days, and then gave up his expectations because Barcelona did not retreat. At home, he had to swear to death. The 180-minute game was a fiasco in the first 90 minutes. After 90 minutes of passive, it is unimaginable. How will Lex Sach study this time and how to limit Millwall's layout?
Before the game started, the Catalan media declared that it was a game for Barcelona to defend its honor and dignity!
Aldridge looked through the Spanish newspaper on the morning of the game, and was suddenly happy.
Whenever the media plays such a title, it basically means that there is no expectation for the home team.
3 ball reversal Millwall?
No matter how proud Barcelona is, I dare not dare to say it before the game, and even the strongest dream division in their history, I am afraid that there is no such confidence. Moreover, at this time, Barcelona is at home or in Europe. , Can only be considered a strong team, without any dominance.
A few years later, when he came to Camp Nou again, Aldridge felt very much.
The last time I came here, I was a little unhappy with Van Gaal. There was no way. The other side was a little crazy. He didn't provoke him, but he was degraded. He taught the other side on the court and there was no intersection.
Today, look at the atmosphere of the stadium in Barcelona, ​​full of a tragic atmosphere.
"Barca, Barca..."
This slogan-style team song echoed in the Camp Nou. After a long time, the fans and the team stood together. They really wanted to fight a desperate counterattack!
Aldridge was sitting on the coach's bench, wondering when Millwall was in trouble, could there be 100,000 fans who would unwaveringly support the team at the Lion King Stadium?
Undeniably, this represents the details of a club, but now Millwall cannot detect this.
"The second round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, Barcelona and Millwall's confrontation started at the Camp Nou, and now the guest defending champion Millwall has a total score of 6:3, and Barcelona wants to advance to the semifinals. Today first To win at least 3 goals against each other, if the total score is a tie, it depends on whether Millwall can score 3 goals or more on the road today. If Barcelona can return Millwall a 6:3, then the total score will be A jaw-dropping 9:9, and then, the two sides play overtime, I think the probability of this situation should be minimal. There is no difference between the two sides starting and the game a week ago, Barcelona starting..."
Aldridge's expression is serious, and his eyes are on the field. Barcelona's starting lineup is exactly the same as the last match, and Millwall is the same. He wants to see if Barcelona will keep a back hand in the game.
A little disappointed, the mentality became relaxed.
Barcelona is still the same, and it is stronger than the last offensive desire, the backcourt players frequently plug in the offense.
Millwall is mainly anti-guest or oppressing opponents. In this way, the two sides have become the focus in the midfield confrontation.
Milwall itself has stronger control of the midfield, and Barcelona is relying on the backcourt to fight against it, but as long as Millwall finds space, it is easier to penetrate the opponent's backline than the previous game.
In the away game, Millwall needs a certain amount of time to enter the game. After the opening, the defense line is first stabilized. The offense will not be over-invested. After the team's rhythm is consistent, it will start to exert force.
In the 18th minute, Nedvěd sent a diagonal pass from the frontcourt. Larsson swept the ball down the middle of the wing. Henry snatched the ball before the deport and sent the ball into the goal of Barcelona. in.
Camp Nou died instantly.
Aldridge smiled and raised his left hand, Klinsmann and Jenson gave him a hard blow.
"Millwall advanced the ball away! Can Barcelona withstand? Can it? Maybe the British newspaper's prediction is correct: If Barcelona wants to reverse Millwall, first of all, it is necessary to think about how not to lose the ball, if only thinking about how to break The door of Millwall, then the Battle of Camp Nou will be completely different from what they expected!"
Lex Satchie covered his head, sweating all over his body!
