991 Nova takes the stage
"Ronaldinho scored twice! 3:0, he helped Millwall seal their fifth European Champions Cup! A wonderful arc, an unforgettable goal! Even if Porto retreated, they still couldn't stop Millwall from scoring! Porto looked flustered and messy, they probably had never felt such a huge pressure, Manchester United, Lyon, Deportivo La Coruna, none of them made Porto tremble and fear, but now they are facing Millwall! Europe's Super King Team! ”
Xiao Luo opened his arms and closed his eyes, looking like he would score a goal, smiling wildly, deeply engraved in the hearts of every audience.
Aldridge is satisfied with the team's transformation and improvement this season, and his self-evaluation.
Young players are growing up in the plan, the use of veterans, and the adjustment of the team's superstars in the playing year, such as Xiao Luo, who decompresses Xiao Luo on the field, it is difficult to see Xiao Luo sticking to the ball for a long time now, he plays more rationally, and often takes the initiative to break out when his teammates help him contain the target defender, but if his teammates can't help him share the pressure, then his performance will definitely decline.
Thinking back to five or six years ago, the young and handsome supernovas of that generation, the alien Ronaldo, the zebra prince Piero, and the Lord of the Rings Raul, all made a splash when they debuted, and they were full of aura on the field and super individual ability.
However, as time went on, and by the time they reached their peak age of mainstream view, they all transformed, and the supernova who used to be able to pass five levels and six generals on their own seemed to be disappearing, and they were developing towards point-grabbing shooters, or attacking forwards.
In addition to the fact that Ronaldo and Piero have suffered serious injuries. There is one more factor that is unavoidable. That is, they are already world-class stars. Naturally, it can't be compared with the pressure when they debuted, and the defensive pressure that opponents put into them when they study them is not the same.
Such a phenomenon is very common, corresponding to Ronaldo, the future Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi. The trajectories are approximately the same.
As long as the entire burden is not on Ronaldo's shoulders, Aldrich firmly believes that Ronaldo's career will be very optimistic.
The Porto players were devastated by three goals and all their confidence and ambition were destroyed by Millwall's third goal.
Thierry Henry, Nedved, Ronaldo, Larsson, as they watched Millwall's superstars wreak havoc on their defence, a thought crossed their minds: can't it be prevented?
Aldridge made a substitution.
Young Cristiano Ronaldo replaced Larsson on the sidelines.
The Wild Lions fans in the stands of Schalke Stadium applauded and cheered continuously. Expressed great respect for Larsson's fate.
"Henrik Larsson is substituted! The soon-to-be 33-year-old has another great performance for Millwall! In key battles, Larson was Sir Hall's undisputed trump card. Against Arsenal, it was Larsson's assists and goals that helped Millwall achieve a big reversal! In today's Champions League final, the goal of the breakthrough also came from his assist, Millwall fans can't ask for more from him, they can only pay high tribute to Millwall's legendary players of ten years, and hope that time will go slower, slower, so that Larsson's farewell time will come later! There is reason to believe that this substitution now has a sense of inheritance, with 19-year-old Portuguese talent Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch, and he will be the leader of Millwall in the next decade! If he can play at Millwall for 10 years like Larsson, then he will also be able to become a Lions legend for the next 10 years! ”
Cristiano Ronaldo came on to take Larsson's place, having just experienced a big battle with Arsenal 12 days ago, Ronaldo was not afraid of the stage, bringing fresh vitality to Millwall's attack, fresh and sharp.
Porto will fall behind by three goals, and under the collapse of mental pressure, the defensive action is extremely rude!
Aldridge just made a substitution less than 3 minutes, Xiao Luo was tackled by Ferreira and Costinha when cutting inside in the front court, Xiao Luo, who had already dodged in advance, because the opponent was a two-person tackle, still did not completely dodge, a long wound was scraped on the side of the calf, and the blood flow could not be stopped.
This is not a serious injury, similar to a skin injury, but the wound is too long, it will take a long time to suture, and even if the bleeding is stopped urgently, the wound will burst during the violent running.
When Xiao Luo sat in the stadium and was treated by the team doctor, the live broadcast camera captured the shocking wound, and the scene of almost the socks being stained red with blood.
The Schalke Stadium booed and Millwall fans shouted and hurled insults at Porto from the stands, while Nedved and Gareth Southgate had skirmishes with Porto players.
It wasn't until the referee pulled out four cards in a row that the dust settled.
Aldridge yelled at the fourth official from the sidelines, slamming the referee for a problem with the penalty scale, and that Porto should be shown a red card!
Mourinho was in a state of mourning more than death, standing motionless next to the coach's box, and as if he was unwilling to go up and touch his head.
As a last resort, Aldridge wanted to replace Ronaldo as well.
Compared with just a simple explanation when replacing Ronaldo, Aldridge mentioned Kaka Ze to Kaka when he made the second unexpected substitution, and there were more on-the-spot adjustments that Kaka needed to relay.
Half a month later, the 2004 European Championship will begin.
Aldridge doesn't want any more injuries, especially for players like Nedved who are looking forward to the summer international event.
Millwall could not continue to attack, and Porto looked like they were jumping off the wall at this point, and the foul action was too lethal.
The formation retreated, mainly in the middle and backfield to control the ball, Porto did not come up to grab, then Xiang'an had nothing to do to consume the game time and pull it down!
If they come up and grab it, Millwall will have space in the front court to launch a fast attack!
When Xiao Luo was helped off the field by the team doctor, he originally walked by himself, but the injured leg had to exert force when supporting the body, and the wound that had just been treated was oozing blood, so he put his hands on the team doctor's shoulders and slowly jumped to the sidelines with one foot.
Coming to the sidelines to hug compatriot Kaka, Ronaldo smiled at Aldridge. Let Aldrich be slightly reassured. The team doctor also informed Aldridge as soon as possible. Xiao Luo's injury is not serious, and it just so happens that Xiao Luo will enter the holiday after this game.
Kaka said a few words to Nedved after coming on the pitch, and then ran to Ronaldo to relay Aldridge's request for tactical adjustments.
Nedved drops back and plays in central midfield, Kaka up front.
Cristiano Ronaldo ambushed behind Thierry Henry, moving from the right side of the pitch to the left, with Thierry Henry at the front and no limit on the area of movement.
Aldridge waved Schneider from the sidelines at the same time. The same goes for Ashley Cole on the other side.
Millwall's overall formation shrank and they no longer continued to wreak havoc on Porto's half, and they set up a tough defence with a back four and three midfielders.
Jose Mourinho looked at the game time, 68 minutes, and there were more than 20 minutes left before the end of the game.
He also made an immediate substitution, with McCarthy replacing Dellay and then quietly gesturing to the court.
Obviously, more than 20 minutes is enough for a miracle to happen!
Jose Mourinho is convinced that Porto can score a goal if they can pull back as much as they can. The suspense of the game, and there!
Absolutely!
Father. Unwilling to accept fate!
Unwilling to give up!
Aldridge held back his violent outburst and did not look at Mourinho at all.
He understands the character of this coach, on the football field, time, represents a qiē possibility!
Time is there.
On the scene, Millwall also gives you what you want!
Let you control the ball steadily in the backfield, let you be able to pass the midfield, and let you try your best to grab the life-saving straw!
Then, when you think there is light at the beginning, I will completely shatter all your hopes!
Even though McCarthy is full of energy, it is difficult for him to make a difference under the blockade of Southgate and Nesta!
When Nedved retreated deeper, Millwall was not afraid of the opponent's rib opening, and if Millwall didn't know how to prevent the sudden flow of wingers this season, it would be a big joke in the world.
Maniche, Delle, Deco, Alenichev, the four pressed the attack in the half, but they were still blocked by Millwall's space and reduced their passing space.
So Costinha also came up, and Ferreira and Valente also had to step forward to play behind the wingers who couldn't form a connection with the middle.
In the 78th minute, Maniche crossed, Nesta cleared the ball with a steady header, the ball was controlled by Nedved, and when Costinha counter-attacked from behind, Nedved pulled the ball horizontally and shook it out of the air, half-turned and passed the ball forward.
Kaka received the ball at the halfway line, turned around, started, and when Mendes blocked in front, Kaka's dribbling speed was still rising!
The Son of God is chasing the wind!
Let him start, give him space to stride forward, no one can stop him!
Unlike Xiao Luo's delicate and experienced skills to the top level, he may be given 3,5 meters of starting space, a wide range, he can show his magic, in this regard, Kaka is still slightly inferior, he needs to accelerate, needs more space, but as long as Kaka starts, the ball is walked up, the combination of man and ball will be very perfect, especially when the change of direction breaks through, he can also accelerate and break through the obstacles in front of him!
Mendes seemed to be vulnerable, the defense was useless, and when Kaka changed direction with the ball in front of him, he turned around, as if a century had passed, and he could only see Kaka's back, and he didn't even have a chance to foul, unless, he made up his mind to foul from the beginning!
Kaka scurried to the penalty area, Henry's run pulled to reduce the resistance to his attack, and when Costa rushed up to intercept him, Kaka suddenly slashed the ball into the left front, Costa turned around with a look of despair!
Cristiano Ronaldo entered the penalty area and scored a single goal!
Diagonally to the goal, Ronaldo meets the ball and volleys!
Unfortunately, the ball was played too squarely and was blocked by goalkeeper Beya.
The ball that was blocked bounced back into the middle, just to Kaka, who didn't have time to think and headed the ball towards the goal.
Baia fell to the ground and immediately got up, but in a hurry, the outstretched palm still failed to touch the ball, and the ball fell into the goal! (To be continued......)
