Aldridge had expected the second leg of the Champions League semi-final to set a new club record: the lowest attendance record!
Winning or losing a game is meaningless before the game.
The pre-match news from Leeds United also indicated that Leeds United would send a large number of substitutes and young players, and Aldridge also announced that he would send young players to play.
In this way, what is there to see in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which are originally more expensive than the English league?
However, when the match day came, the club gave Aldridge a surprise ticket sales ratio, 96% of the tickets were sold, even if someone bought tickets and did not come to see, the attendance rate will definitely exceed 94%, which cannot set a new low attendance record for the club.
In fact, thanks to Leeds United, two consecutive away games, London's local fans choked enough, after the first game, waiting for Leeds United to come to London, who would have thought that Leeds United would be slaughtered directly in the league, and even the main force did not dare to be sent, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans, even if the two teams sent a substitute lineup, into the field, with cheers to scare the Leeds United substitute lineup!
Aldridge sat in the dressing room, waiting for the players to come back for pre-match training after warming up.
After a while, the players who had finished warming up returned to the locker room one by one, slowly changed into their jerseys with strict eyes, and deliberately tidied up, for fear of looking messy and damaging their image when they came out.
Aldrich's eyes were in a trance, looking at these young faces, as if going back in time, back to the stage when he first started to fight the world, at that time. Trezege, Shevchenko. Pire and others are so heroic, and Stamm, Thuram, Nedved and others are beginning to bloom and break through the sky.
Seven years is not a cycle in ancient Chinese culture, but in Europe, seven is a mysterious and perfect number, and there are seven days in a week. It took six days for Jehovah to create the world, and the seventh day was rest.
Seven years, it seems to be a reincarnation, Aldrich recalled the original passionate shout, angry bullfighting as if to set foot in Europe, seven years have passed, and now he is not angry and self-assured. He no longer needs to shout at the players and him to face the sea of swords and fires, play for him, play for Millwall, whether new or old, there should be this consciousness in the football genes to conquer Europe? Europe. At the feet of the mad lion.
In the dressing room, the most senior players in this game are Neil and Glen Char, and Pagliuca, although older, is only a newcomer in the dressing room.
Neil and Glen Charles see Aldridge pondering. It's more like being distracted, so I don't bother. They had already put on their jerseys and shoes, packed up their shin guards, and were ready to play at any time, but the manager didn't speak, and no one dared to open the locker room door and leave.
Only players like De Rossi, who was suddenly promoted to the first team, were in high spirits and shouted loudly at Aldridge without fear: "Boss, we are waiting for your pre-match lecture!" ”
Aldridge came back to his senses, looked at De Rossi, and said half-truthfully: "If you have a bad appearance today, I will replace you at half-time." ”
De Rossi looked fearless, and said sonorously: "I remember everything the coaches said at the game preparation meeting yesterday, and I will definitely not make a mistake today!" ”
Err?
He plays as a midfielder, defending-oriented, and of course the basic criterion is whether he makes mistakes or not.
Aldridge smiled, then stood up and said to the team: "If four years ago, three years ago, I would have said to you: don't be under pressure when you play, the result doesn't matter, as long as you can play at the level of your usual training. But today, I can only say to you, you wore Millwall's shirt and played for Millwall in the Champions League semi-finals, which is an opportunity that many excellent players may not have in their lifetime, and the result of the game, of course, is important! You have to be worthy of the Lion's jersey, worthy of the fans who came to watch the game today and cheered for you, and worthy of your own hard work! Remember, we are lions, whether you are young or not, you must have a firm consciousness that the goal of the lions will always be to dominate Europe! This realization will accompany you throughout your career, and you will never forget it for a day! Remember? ”
In the dressing room, the older generation of players just nodded, while the younger generation of players like De Rossi, Alonso, Villa shouted in unison: "Remember! ”
Aldridge walked out of the dressing room and the players followed, lining up in the tunnel to play.
When Aldridge walked into the stadium, he first heard the singing of the Lions fans in the stands, the new lyrics that were choreographed to point the finger at Leeds United, mocking and sarcastic, and one of the passages was a bashing of Bowyer, describing him as a pig and a dog
When the players began to enter the field, the court master of ceremonies took the microphone and read the name of each Lions player next to the exit of the tunnel, and there was a burst of cheers and applause in the stands.
Aldridge's Wild Lion era, seven glorious years, fans have also developed a habit: pay attention to the good seedlings of the youth team.
Because today's youth team genius may become famous tomorrow for the Lions!
Most of the first-team players featured today, with the only one to be transferred from the youth squad was De Rossi, who is three months shy of turning 18.
The youth captain has already made his first-team debut, but his appearance at today's level is a milestone moment in his career, and a game like Cristiano Ronaldo's coming off the bench in the Toyota Cup is nothing, although looking back on it 20 years later, it must be legendary.
When the emcee read De Rossi's name, the fans cheered and applauded.
De Rossi led the Millwall youth team to break through in the European "next generation" league, and the Millwall youth team with Ronaldo and Ribery as the attacking line won the first European Youth League championship, which was the time for fame.
Lions fans have no doubt that De Rossi will be a formidable player in Millwall's squad in the future.
The second leg of the Champions League semi-final was played at the Lion King Stadium, with Millwall leading Leeds United 6-1 on aggregate. The result of this game should not affect Millwall's progress to the final, and Leeds United have given up on the idea of reversing their opponents on the road. You can see this in the list sent by Leeds United, and Millwall also train young players, and the game has become like this, I think, this is not what UEFA wants to see, the Champions League stage that should be the pinnacle of the showdown, but it has become a training game for two teams in England, playing a game that has nothing to do with winning or losing. But is Millwall too strong, or is Leeds United unbelievably broken? The fact has been made, we can only appreciate the young players today, Millwall has a reputation as the cradle of superstars, maybe today we have a good young man in our eyes. I can grow into a superstar in the future.
Millwall fielded a weird 442 formation today.
Goalkeeper: Pagliuca.
Defenders: Ferreira, Metzeld, Barzagli, Neil.
Midfielders: Pedretti, De Rossi, Alonso. Joe Cole.
Forwards: Glen Shire, Villa.
Leeds United are a decent 442"
Today's game has become like this, it is estimated that UEFA is going crazy, the Champions League semi-finals, there is not even a first-class star. It is estimated that except for the fans of the two teams on both sides of the competition, other fans will tune in to watch the game. Even if you care about the results, you will only look at the results the next day.
Aldridge doesn't care what the outside reaction is, he has always been serious about his work, and it doesn't matter if the game is won or lost, but he is just as serious about preparing for this game, and in order to prevent Leeds United from dropping smoke bombs, he actually prepared two lists, and it was not until four hours before the game that it was determined that Leeds United did not bring the main squad from Leeds.
Therefore, he can rest assured that he can let these young players play in the game, and he does not need to send some main forces to press the formation, and give the young players as psychological support.
He devised a one-sided winged formation as the main tactic of the day.
The two backs Pedreti and De Rossi stabilized the defense, Alonso and Joe Cole were in front and behind the midfield, Joe Cole had a high degree of freedom and could be on the side, Glen Charles also moved freely on the left and right, and Villa played as a central striker.
The lineup is young, the attack points are spread out and the heat is insufficient, and it is more realistic to concentrate on playing unilaterally.
At the beginning of the game, Aldrich stood on the sidelines and watched the shape of the field carefully, which was his habit, whether the game was important or not, whether he was standing or sitting.
There are a lot of young players on the pitch today, so he has to stand on the sidelines and supervise the game, putting some pressure on the young players and hoping that they will not be distracted by the loss of meaning of the game.
Although Leeds United sent a lineup of substitutes and young players, the average age is about 3 years older than Millwall, and the body is strong and more experienced.
Millwall's midfield and backfield play in an orderly manner, the ball pass is decent, Alonso's technical ability has grown well in the past two years, but his lack of experience, especially the experience of the competition, the nerve and psychological tempering of high-intensity and fast-paced games, Millwall is difficult to let him stand on the big stage early to withstand the test of high intensity like the cultivation of Pirlo back then, this test is also dangerous.
However, the players in the front court have distinctive characteristics on the field, Joe Cole takes the ball to get rid of, dares to make moves, and the awareness of running and passing has also improved significantly, Glen Char's one-man raid performance is the focus of the field, and Villa also dares to break through the last line of defense on the front line with the advancement of technology to form a direct threat.
Aldridge was watching the game, but O'Reilly on the other side stood up and walked towards him.
O'Reilly figured it out the day before yesterday, he and Aldridge don't need to fight for the day, in the entire European football world, Aldridge's men have countless defeats, including many famous coaches, and he himself has not even won a championship, famous coach? It was the gift of Fleet Street praising him, laying down on his head early, and harboring evil intentions.
Just like when Aldrich first became famous, Fleet Street did everything to praise him, the purpose was to cause a sensation when he failed and create news shock, fortunately, Aldrich did not let Fleet Street get his wish, but O'Reilly was recently scolded for his bloody head and fell from the altar in an instant.
However, O'Reilly still wants to resolve the conflict with Aldridge, show some demeanor, and look at it to the outside world, which is also a good conversation, in the coaching industry, O'Reilly is still young, and the future days are still long.
