With two goals in hand and a goal from the side, Aldridge began to change formation with 30 minutes remaining, allowing Nedved to drop back into a 442 midfielder's diamond-shaped formation.

At this time, Millwall needs to control the tempo steadily, and strengthening the midfield is the best, which has a certain advantage in the midfield, and Nedved can go back and take the situation firmly into his own hands.

Bayern Munich began to launch a furious attack, and the two sides played vigorously, but they lacked a central connection point, and lacked a fatal point in the penalty area.

While Heathfield was about to go all out, Aldridge was furious on the sidelines.

He roared angrily at one of the players on the field, but perhaps it was too far away for the other to hear what he was shouting.

This player is Ronaldo.

Xiao Luo, who is getting more and more aggressive, will attack the front court non-stop as long as he touches the ball, without the slightest hesitation.

His forward dribbling involuntarily led Henry, Larsson, and Nedved to step forward, otherwise he would be isolated.

And this, contrary to Aldrich's tactical requirements.

Playing fast is not the best option, Millwall now need to consume Bayern Munich through control, and as time goes by, it will definitely be Bayern Munich who are getting more and more impatient, at the same time. Millwall can force all opposing attacking players to have to get involved in defence by having a midfield advantage. Defenders at the back can also come up and press recklessly. That's when there will be better opportunities.

But Xiao Luo rushed forward when he got the ball from defense to attack, and once the offense could not be played, it would give the opponent space to counterattack, and at the same time, because the offensive player stayed in the front court and the receiving position was excellent.

Although Xiao Luo had a wonderful performance beyond expectations, he was not mature enough, and at this time he exposed the shortcomings of the decline in tactical discipline in a state of excitement.

Heathfield's substitution was imminent, but Aldridge was also making a substitution at the same time.

"Millwall and Bayern Munich make a substitution at the same time! Bayern Munich looked like they were going to fight, with Ziegler replacing Anderson. The 1.9m tall man will be a direct threat to Millwall's goal, with Sergio coming on for Jerry Hearts and Heathfield hoping the 30-year-old can help with experience down the middle. Millwall came in in a surprise replacement for the impressive Ronaldinho, with Frank Lampard coming in in for him. ”

Xiao Luo found that he was a little unhappy when he was substituted, and when he walked to the sidelines, he asked Aldrich in puzzlement: "Boss, why do you change me?" ”

"Now is not the time to talk about that, I will have an important conversation with you after the game."

Aldrich responded to him quickly, then patted him on the shoulder and asked him to sit back.

Xiao Luo was not full of interest. It's a matter of course to be depressed when you're suddenly substituted.

After Bayern Munich and Millwall made substitutions at the same time, Millwall's attacking frequency on the field weakened. However, the control of the midfield was strengthened, Pirlo went up to play in the midfield, Nedved and Lampard formed a double central midfield, Bayern Munich still dominated the attack on the wing, and began to frequently send high crosses.

The game presented a very different dynamic, with Bayern Munich attacking fast and Millwall defending successfully controlling the tempo of the game, patiently looking for opportunities, and creating more and more threats when the number of attacks decreased.

In the 79th minute of the game, Henry and Larsson went through a series of one-two combinations on the front line, and Henry suddenly chose to break through in front of Kufuor, and after entering the penalty area, a burst shot was blocked by Kahn, and Pirlo followed up with a long-range shot that bounced off the crossbar.

"Millwall almost doubled the score again, Bayern Munich although the attack is more fierce, but they are a bit of a chance element, and Millwall's attack is a clear and threatening at a glance, unfortunately, if Henry's shot angle is a little more tricky, or Pirlo can hold the ball, they will send Bayern Munich into the bottomless abyss."

Ten minutes after the game entered the last ten minutes of regular time, the field became more and more intense, and the two sides fought for every inch of land.

In the 86th minute, Lizarazu broke through the bottom with the ball, faked a cross in front of Schneider and pulled back the ball, and handed a low flat ball to Elber, who took the ball in the penalty area, turned around and was about to shoot, but the performance was substandard and the kick was defective!

However, his flawed ball hit Materazzi's leg and bounced towards the middle of the goal, and the long-legged Ziegler cleverly kicked the ball into the middle of the net.

This goal may not have been expected by Heathfield, at least Ziegler was brought on to increase the high point in the penalty area.

"Bayern Munich pulled one back! Bring it back to life! Ziegler, who was replaced on the field, although there was an element of luck in this goal, the goal could not be ignored. 1:2, can Bayern Munich score another one in the last moments? ”

Effenberg boosted the morale of the whole team and tried to make the next win in the late stages.

Aldridge crossed his hands on his hips without any nervousness, and took 10,000 steps back, even if the score was really equalized, Millwall was absolutely acceptable.

At this time, it is the team's willpower that is tested.

After the game restarted, Bayern Munich pressed all over the line, and time was running out.

They pressed on this, and in an instant, Millwall's attacking players also began to run, and there was a huge vacuum in midfield.

Frank Lampard passed the ball to Nedved, who dribbled straight past Sergio and then headed down the middle, where Effenberg had just snatched Lampard too much and the chase was clearly too far.

Nedved was unhindered all the way to the penalty area, and in a dense area in the middle, Millwall suddenly developed a local numerical advantage.

After Nedved's pass to Pirlo, he began to cut forward, with Thierry Henry also cutting forward and Larsson pulling in to respond.

Pirlo didn't hesitate to get the ball to Larsson, who slashed the ball diagonally across the other side and crossed diagonally between Kufuor and Link.

Both men thought Nedved and Thierry Henry would be offside, but on the other side, Babbel was able to wrap up the middle and get the middle penetrated.

Nedved took the ball on the left side in front of goal and crossed with a decisive cross. Karn moved to the other side. It was only to watch as Henry easily fired the ball into the back of the net.

"Both teams scored a goal in one minute! Henry scored twice. He helped the team continue to lead Bayern Munich by two goals, which Bayern Munich conceded so badly that they pressed with all their might in their rush to equalise, and Millwall easily penetrated the backline, Kufuor and Link probably thought there would be a centre-back in the middle to intercept it, but neither of them could keep an eye on the player they should be targeting. In this way, the advantage of 1:3 is better for Millwall than 0:2! Because Bayern Munich will go to London in the next leg if they can't score any more goals in this game. For them to advance, they will have to score at least three goals! ”

As soon as he got back a glimmer of life, he was hit again in less than a minute, and the Olympic Stadium in Munich fell silent.

Aldridge gestured to the players on the sidelines with their hands down to calm them down and not be careless about scoring the third goal.

Many strong teams have no talent but no tenacity, and in this case they are often defeated, on the contrary, Bayern Munich's willpower cannot be ignored, as long as the game is not over. Millwall could not afford to let up in the slightest.

After the restart, Bayern Munich learned their lesson. Don't dare to press too hard, Millwall began to kill time after getting the ball, and Aldridge used up the substitutions one after another to strengthen the defense, and the final score of the game did not change again.

"1:3, the end of the game, this score must have been unexpected by everyone, last season was here, Bayern Munich defeated Millwall 1:0 in 90 minutes, eliminated each other in a penalty shootout after 120 minutes, a year later, the same two teams met again on the same field, Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3:1 in 90 minutes, on the way to the semifinals, Millwall gained a huge lead, Bayern Munich went to London in the next game, in the case of the opponent not scoring, Scoring at least three goals to turn the tables around is probably an impossible task. ”

After the game, Heathfield took the initiative to shake Aldridge's hand.

He has to admit that a year later, he played against Aldridge again, and the opponent made Millwall stronger, and the process of scoring three goals reflected Millwall's improvement, which is the credit of the coach, and Millwall's tactical discipline and tactical execution on the field have also reached a qualitative level.

Aldridge soon left the pitch and on the pitch, Thierry Henry raised his fists and looked happy, confident that he would be in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the third time in three years, and he was confident of reaching the final, no matter who the semi-final opponent was.

The Millwall squad thanked the fans who had come to cheer them on, while Bayern Munich's players left the pitch early with their heads down.

In his post-match press conference, Aldridge flatly denied that Millwall had advanced to the semi-finals, saying that the game was 180 minutes long and that the outcome would only be determined at the end of the last second, and that nothing on the football field could happen, no matter how unlikely.

When asked about the secret to beating Bayern Munich, Aldridge gave the credit to the players.

"They usually train hard, prepare for the game, adjust themselves before the game, and play on the spot, and they use facts and results to confirm an eternal truth: only with sweat can there be a chance to harvest. This is also Millwall's football philosophy, we never think that victory will come by hand, only by working harder and giving more than others, we can win it. ”

As for the German journalists' perception that Bayern Munich lacks attention to Millwall, Heathfield's attempt to use last year's methods against Millwall is outdated, but he is tied up, and Aldridge is reluctant to comment.

It's hard to say that the blame is all on Heathfield, which is to belittle Millwall's victory, especially since Heathfield was the winner last year, and the winner will not take the initiative to change, which is a tacit law in the football circle.

Who has ever seen the champions make drastic reforms?

Who has seen a coach overhaul the team's tactics on the road to success?

A winning team, a team that is accustomed to winning, often only suffers a painful defeat at a certain point in time, will it make up its mind to transform and enter the cycle of rebirth from the cocoon.

Bayern Munich's surprise defeat at home today may have been a chance for change, but maybe not, because they only lost to Millwall, not derailed by many of Europe's top teams.

The team quickly packed up and boarded the plane back to London after the game, and most of the players began to adjust themselves as soon as they got on the plane, calming the excitement, some players reading books, some players playing poker together, and some listening to music.

Ronaldo was listening to the music when Aldrich sat down next to him with a serious and scary expression. (To be continued......)
