2:2
AC Milan is back to life, and the atmosphere at the San Siro is skyrocketing!
'With 20 minutes of stoppage time, can AC Milan score another goal? Can you? The Serie A champions refuse to bow to early exits! The Rossoneri must show the fighting spirit of the Italian giants at this time, and if they want to go far in the Champions League, they must now show the courage and determination to stay on this stage! ”
Aldridge's mouth raised slightly, and the score was equalized, so what?
Even if Millwall loses this game, they can still sit back and relax.
But he never gave away victory.
The real killer feature, it's time to come out!
Before the game restarted, Millwall submitted a list of substitutions and the referee signalled for a substitution on the sidelines.
"Millwall used up three substitutions at once, Pirlo, Larsson, Ronaldinho slowly walked off the field, what is Hall going to do? He replaced all three of the most dangerous players on the pitch, is this going to be a dead end? Frank Lampard replaces Andrea Pirlo, Glen Charles replaces Ronaldinho, Klose replaces Larsson, it looks like a counterpoint substitution, Klose's position needs to be observed, I heard that the German youngster used to play as a winger in the amateur league, will he play as a winger like Larsson? ”
Klose came on and ran to the centre circle to prepare for kick-off, spoke to Henry, and told him to change his position.
Aside from that goal in the second half, he was rarely involved in the defense at any other time, and Thierry Henry, who had been roaming up front, was just waiting for the moment, and his fitness was completely fine, and he moved to the winger position. Klose plays as a central striker. The winger on the other side was handed to Glen Shire.
AC Milan fans may also think Millwall is showing weakness. It's time to hold on to a draw.
But Zaccheroni looked at the field with a sad face.
Is Millwall really going to be guarded?
If you really want to defend, why can't Pedretti on the bench?
At first glance, Glen Schal's ability is not as good as Ronaldo's, Klose is not as good as Larsson, and Lampard's attacking talent is far inferior to Pirlo's.
But it was a normal comparison, with 70 minutes played, with Ronaldo and Larsson going straight up the flanks in the second half. The two of them relied on their own strength to contain the back and forth of AC Milan's overall formation, they were tired of running, and now they are resting, the energetic and faster Glen Charles is on the field, at least at this moment, is Glen Char's threat really lower than Xiao Luo who is exhausted and stays on the field?
After the substitution, Millwall regrouped the 433 formation, but this 433 was very different from the 433 at the beginning.
Gattuso and Frank Lampard are in midfield, Nedved is in central midfield, and Glen Schal and Thierry Henry are left and right wingers. Klose single arrow.
This time, the problem was lost to AC Milan.
Millwall were almost free in midfield. The back line did not go out of the penalty area, and the double midfielder in front of the penalty area, Gnaedved, retreated to defend, and the two walls completely isolated AC Milan's attack.
Zaccheroni was in tears, Millwall had seven players in defense, AC Milan attacked, five players went up to hit the stone with eggs, six players were trying their luck, and only by putting in seven players could they be in a balanced situation.
It is no longer possible to measure the advantages and disadvantages by comparing the individual ability values of the players.
Aldridge's hand was played, and Zaccheroni had nothing to do but whine in his heart.
He really didn't scold Aldrich in his heart.
This is a commonplace situation in Serie A, where defense is known as an art in a country where the chain defense has been criticized for many years, calling it negative football, where strong teams play weak teams, and nine out of nine are layers of defensive barriers facing 7, 8 or even 9 people.
It's just that Millwall is not a weak team, but they also used such a trick, Zaccheroni can't afford to hate half of it, and it is estimated that Zaccheroni will use similar tricks if he replaces Zaccheroni as Aldrich.
AC Milan's enemy is not only to break down the dense defense, but also to defeat an enemy that can never be defeated: time!
As time went on, AC Milan's attack became faster and faster, and at the same time, they became more and more impatient.
After they pressed and attacked for 6 minutes, bad luck struck.
Albertini couldn't find a way to get the ball out, so he fired a long-range shot of his own, which hit Barzagli's chest and deflected it.
Frank Lampard half-turned to the bouncing ball and swept it towards Millwall's right.
Glen Schal picked up the ball at the back of the halfway line and quickly started forward, but AC Milan were still the same, with all the players dropping back.
However, they could not run, and the Danes, who were flying with wings on their backs, were running too fast with the ball!
Maldini didn't come up to intercept, but quickly shrunk the box, knowing that if he had stepped up, he would have been beaten by Glen Charles with a pass before he could get close.
Glen Schal cut inside in front of the penalty area, Klose retreated to receive the ball and then turned and plugged it in, Henry ran inside to get the ball forward, still broke through the defense of Sara and Costacuta, Maldini went to chase again, Henry got up and shot!
Almost one-on-one ball, Henry took nine out of ten and rubbed the ball into the far corner, Abbiati was powerless.
"In the 80th minute of the game, Millwall led again, 3:2, which is a score that almost announced AC Milan's Champions League group stage, 4 games and 1 point, AC Milan may lose not only the qualification to the round of 16, but also the glory of the Serie A champion"
Thierry Henry, who scored twice, waved to Klose, who provided the assist, and they jogged together to greet the fans in the visiting fan stands.
Aldrich closed his eyes and raised his head into a slightly unbridled smile.
The current situation of the Italian giants is really not caused by Millwall, a large part of the reason is their own problems.
If they can pick up six points or four points or even three points in the first two games of the group stage, why should they be a mourner when they start to meet Millwall in the third round?
And now in this game, AC Milan has to race against time and beat Millwall, such a good opportunity, how can Aldridge watch it slip through his fingers?
70 minutes to make adjustments. Fans who like the Premier League must be familiar with it. After 5 years. When the "special one" of "under God" came to Stamford Bridge, 433 swept the Premier League, what did it rely on? Duff, Arjen Robben, Drogba, Frank Lampard, the attacking team with a big diamond, and the rest of the group is 90 per cent in defence. Compress the space in the backcourt and fight back vigorously!
The "fireworks" in the stands of the San Siro were completely extinguished by Millwall's third goal.
Aldridge opened his eyes and looked around the stadium, looking at the stands that were no longer noisy and fell silent in an instant, and he couldn't help but smile.
You can't blame him for being a villain, but he just likes it.
Silence a great stadium and as a manager, he enjoys the scene.
Ten minutes into the game, the scene became extremely tragic, and AC Milan went completely crazy and attacked like crazy.
But. In the 88th minute, it was Henry who took the ball from the left side of the midfield to start a long run. The routine was the same, drawing the ball in front of the penalty area and immediately splitting the ball, Klose took it, and then he passed the ball to an unexpected person.
Maldini kept an eye on Glen Schal, who was running forward, and Sala followed closely after Thierry Henry's ball, and Klose would have lost the ball if he tried to break through Costacuta, but Klose passed the ball and passed it to two metres to his side.
Nedved, who had been holding back for almost half an hour, was still at the same pace as at the beginning, he plugged in at high speed, AC Milan's retreating midfielders couldn't keep up with him at all, Ambrosini reached out and pulled his arm, and Nedved shook the opponent away with a hard flick.
When receiving Klose's pass, Nedved still did not slow down, met the ball directly into the penalty area, broke through the opponent's entire back line in an instant, faced the goalkeeper with a single knife, and when Abbiati abandoned the goal and just ran two steps forward, Nedved pushed the ball into the corner and watched the ball roll into the goal.
After the goal, Nedved turned around and put his arm around Klose and raised his other hand into a fist!
"4:2, AC Milan has no chance, Nedved's goal completely killed the suspense of the game, Millwall will usher in the fourth consecutive win of the group stage, and they will also qualify early. Unfortunately, the Serie A champion's chances of qualifying are slim and only theoretical. ”
AC Milan's players were slightly numb and showed signs of giving up after another wave of attacking action after the restart, with Millwall squandering the clock with a back-kick and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game after three minutes of stoppage time.
"Congratulations to Millwall, 12 points after winning all four games, 6 points in the same group, Galatasaray 4 points, AC Milan only 1 point, Millwall qualified ahead of schedule, according to their 4:1 home win over Hertha Berlin, they also almost locked the first place in this group, AC Milan if they want to advance to the round of 16, the remaining two rounds not only want to win, but also hope that Millwall will win the last two rounds! Fate is no longer in their own hands. ”
After the game, the AC Milan players were either in a daze or depressed on the pitch, and some of the Millwall players exchanged shirts with them, while others comforted each other, such as Larsson, who walked to Shevchenko's side
Aldridge was about to go for an interview when there was a "discordant" scene on the sidelines.
Pirlo was chased by Gattuso and ran into the tunnel.
After Pirlo was substituted, he heard the coaches talking about Gattuso's header mistake and Shevchenko was assisted by Bierhoff, Shevchenko scored, and after the game, he walked into the field and laughed at the elated Gattuso, who was about to beat Pirlo on any occasion, so that kind of scene was staged.
If the media had caught this scene elsewhere, they would have thought that the two players were engaged in infighting, but it was not surprising that the Italian media saw it.
These two have always had a good relationship since the beginning of the Italian youth team, the U21 echelon, etc., and they often fight and quarrel.
Other players may be really playing, but they are both playing.
In today's game, Aldridge doesn't have too many ideas, if he wins, he wins, and there is no need to dwell on it, the current result is just very good, the young players who have trained the back, let them see the big scene, although there are mistakes, there are shortcomings, it doesn't matter, he, the head coach, has always been doing the work of planting trees and planting trees and then enjoying the shade by himself.
However, he never imagined that the two-legged double defeat of AC Milan made the Italian media, which has always been very harsh on him, change their attitude, not only recognized Aldridge, but also took the initiative to praise and congratulate him at the post-match press conference.
In the first meeting at Wembley, AC Milan was defeated, and the Italian media can make excuses, the right time, the right people, the strength of the team and other factors.
But today at the San Siro, they can't exonerate AC Milan, in terms of overall strength, Millwall's attack is stronger, but the defense is definitely a shortcoming, this Millwall victory, can be described as a technical knockdown of AC Milan.
Thinking of the past three years, Millwall has won and drawn one against Juventus, beaten Inter Milan twice, beat AC Milan twice, and the three giants in northern Italy were beaten by the same team and the same head coach without fighting back, the Italian media has reached the point where there is nothing to say, what else can they do except give applause and praise to the strong?
