Millwall's new season has officially begun.

After a first-round win at Stamford Bridge, followed by home and away draws at Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers respectively, Aldridge's fears soon came to light.

Leicester City had 0 shots on goal and were sent off in the last minute, earning them an ecstatic one.

And in the away game of Blackburn, Millwall drew with Blackburn to be precise.

Because the European Super Cup will be played three days later, in the away game, Aldridge boldly rotated, and the result was boom, the first half was scored by Blackburn's counter-attack twice, and in the second half, just tied the score and was led again by the opponent, until the 87th minute, it was not tied by Ronaldo's goal to tie the score.

Aldrich experienced some of the bitterness of "self-inflicted".

At the beginning of last season, the Premier League team sniped Millwall, and in the past, it began to use 4321, and the effect was okay, and this season, needless to say, continued to use this routine, this set of tactics at the beginning of the national team design is to play the most efficient defense and counterattack, and it is simple and rough, break the ball, counterattack, two or three people in the front court simply pass, make full use of the vacancy, efficient and decisive, the Premier League team learns to use it, and in turn to deal with Millwall, especially this season's Millwall, in them to strengthen the side attack, The midfield defense is also in the process of rebuilding, but it has become the best target, Blackburn's tough style of play, and the threat is really clear when it comes to counter-attacking.

Millwall are paying the price of growth, honing De Rossi and Alonso through all sorts of tests. It's inevitable that there will be miserable games, this qiē. Aldridge has psychological expectations.

The technical and tactical changes of the third-generation Wild Lion have also attracted the attention of Fleet Street.

A game is not representative. But if Aldridge will stick to a proven tactic for three games in a row, then it means that Millwall is undergoing a clear change.

David Miller has been in a big deal about "critiquing" Aldrich's deviance.

"Sir Hall has not only abandoned the traditional 442 in England, but has also swept Europe in 433, and now he has begun to build a subversive 244 formation! That's right, watching the recent Millwall game, if you're there, you'll find out. Millwall's formation is mostly arranged like this: 1 goalkeeper, 2 defenders, 4 midfielders and 4 forwards. If you compare it to the 433 played on the starting screen, where is the change? Two full-backs! One plays in midfield, one in striker, and the two full-backs switch freely. This is a change in detail from Millwall's previous 433, which in the past actually played a 334 formation. 3 defenders, 3 midfielders, 4 forwards, variation in defense with a full-back. A full-back tops the midfielder, and Nedved, who was originally a midfielder, is actually a shadow striker. Regardless of the change in Millwall's main attacking routine today. Sir Hall's bravery is admirable, and I think any other England manager would dare to do that. It would attract a lot of criticism, and if it were a foreign coach who did it. The only one who is judged to be a tactical genius when he succeeds, Sir Hall, and when he does it now, we will be looking forward to it: will this form a new trend? However, I need to remind Sir Hall that in this 244, Nesta in the back is fine, if Nesta is not able to face such a challenging task, then, on the planet, there will be no defender who can give Sir Hall confidence, but the other defender, Southgate, has gone down in history as the great captain of England, he will celebrate his 33rd birthday next week. ”

Aldridge led his team to Monaco to meet AC Milan at the top of the European Championship and compete for the title of king of the cup.

Originally, Millwall's achievements last season were very different from the previous season, and it was a good time for many opponents to ridicule and fall into the ground.

But I didn't think that the new season had just begun, and among the teams that attracted the attention of Europe, there was still Millwall!

00,01,02,03, this is Millwall's fourth consecutive year in the UEFA Super Cup!

The first three times as the Champions League winners, today as the Champions League Cup champions, the League Cup certainly has nothing to show off, but they can be angry, even if they are down, but the exposure is still eye-catching in Europe.

'It's exciting to play against Carlo, AC Milan won the Champions League last season, to play against a strong AC Milan is what Millwall is looking forward to, we are never afraid of strong opponents, the stronger the enemy, the more excited we are, there are reservations in the league and also for tomorrow's game! We're looking forward to giving the best game to the fans around the world and then Millwall going home with the trophy. ”

When attending the UEFA press conference in Monaco, Aldridge's opening remarks were supposed to be special rules and compliment the opponent, but when it came to the last sentence, the Italian reporters at the scene laughed angrily.

Listening to the young marshal's serious remarks, everyone nodded frequently, thinking that the young marshal was going to play low-key, but in the end, he naturally said that he wanted to go home with the championship trophy, and everyone didn't react all of a sudden.

You're the UEFA Cup winners, not the fucking Champions League winners of the last few years!

For Millwall's Champions League group exit last season, the media will play up revenge, the first revenge object is AC Milan, who let AC Milan win the Champions League? The second revenge target is Barcelona, with two places in the group stage, and Barcelona also occupies one.

For this, Aldridge shook his head calmly and replied: "No, there is no hatred, if you say so, it is difficult to calculate this account, because I seem to remember that Millwall's historical record against Barcelona and AC Milan, Millwall should have an absolute advantage, according to your theory, Millwall should be revenged?" Or was it revenge last season? ”

Looking at Millwall from another angle, they have a very strong advantage: a record of encounters against foreign teams!

They will not be like a certain strong team, turning over the battle record, and they may have a "history of grievances" with someone more than ten years ago. Millwall only officially began "diplomacy" during the Aldrich era. Therefore, any foreign team that can cause them pain will turn over the history of these years. To sum up, Millwall is absolutely not qualified to mention the word "revenge"!

Aldridge also did not want to put Millwall in a sad and angry position following the media trend.

He expressed his respect for Ancelotti, and the proud Ancelotti also expressed his respect and expectation for him.

The two coaches who sat together in 97 and talked about competing in European competitions finally met on the green field after a lapse of 6 years to compete for a chicken rib title

The next day, the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

Aldridge and Carlo Ancelotti met on the sidelines and the two did not shake hands. It's a direct hug together.

Carlo Ancelotti was the second oldest in the league when he was in charge of Juventus, and the European competition was a miserable record, but at AC Milan, he ushered in the spring.

Aldridge hugged him and asked with a smile, "Are you going to abuse me today?" ”

Ancelotti laughed, his eyes lit up, and said: "You have 4 Champions Leagues, 5 UEFA Super Cups, no. Or 4, last year's one was Klinsmann's, you say, do I want to win you? ”

"What if I win? A UEFA Super Cup. It's not a league title, it's not a Champions League winner, what? No more promises? We. See you in Germany next May? ”

Ancelotti seemed to be frightened and hurriedly waved his hand. He said, "No, no, no, I will never make such an agreement with anyone again." It's so unlucky! ”

Aldridge thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Carlo, you have disappointed me so much! How I wish it was the Champions League final today, it would be interesting! ”

Ancelotti didn't dare to make an agreement with Aldridge, he was really not afraid of Millwall, he squeezed Millwall out of the group stage last season, and he led AC Milan to the throne in the end, what is there to be afraid of?

It's just that he feels that this kind of early agreement is really unlucky to put it on him.

Back then, he, Aldridge, Tigana, and the three agreed to enter the Champions League semi-finals together, and the three young coaches pointed out the country, how majestic was that?

The result?

Aldridge and Tigana played the pinnacle battle in the Champions League semi-finals, and his Parma, sorry, went home after the group stage!

Later, in '99, he and Aldridge agreed to meet at Camp Nou.

Well, Aldrich's Millwall is thin.

Juventus, led by him, was originally sitting in a good situation, and he also lamented that Aldridge missed the contract, but it didn't come to fruition, Manchester United came to a shocking reversal and blocked Juventus out of the final!

Let Ancelotti make an agreement with Aldridge today, he doesn't dare, let him shout to the outside world that AC Milan is determined to defend the Champions League, but he will never agree with Aldridge that AC Milan and Millwall will go to Schalke Stadium next year.

'There will be chances, chances, and one day we will have a good fight in the Champions League final. I may not be able to win the Champions League three times in a row like you, but I believe I can surpass you in the number of Champions League titles! ”

Ancelotti said.

Aldrich spread his hands and grinned: "Originally, I would agree with your words, but now the situation has changed, Carlo, you don't have a chance to do this!" Because I'm here, in Millwall's manager's position. ”

Ancelotti smirked slightly: "It's because you're back, so if I have more championships than you, it's more meaningful!" Aldridge, everyone says that contemporary football is your time, no, no, no, I don't admit it! ”

"Hahahaha, Carlo, that's right! Take out all your skills and see if you are crying and admitting, or if I am like a lost dog being defeated by you! Today, it's time to warm up. ”

Aldridge said a word, hugged Ancelotti again, patted each other on the back, and then released his hand at the same time, took a step back, stared at each other for three seconds, turned to the coach's seat, and smiled silently.

Before the game even started, the two managers were "-for-tat", not only them, but also the players on both sides in the tunnel.

When Xiao Luo frequently set his eyes on Pirlo and Gattuso, Gattuso couldn't help but glared at Xiao Luo Lang and said, "What are you doing with me?" I'm not going to admit that I've won five Champions Leagues, you have to see, it's up to him alone! ”

He pushed Pirlo and, unsurprisingly, sold his good friend.

Pirlo was still as graceful as ever, smiling a little helplessly at the Millwall generals.

"Damn, Pavel they still have 5 Super Cups, do you have them? You only have 4, haha, you only have 4. ”

Xiao Luo whistled.

Pirlo coughed lightly and said lightly: "In two hours, I will have my fifth Super Cup trophy." ”

"Yikes! Who gave you confidence? ”

"Me!"

Gattuso stood up directly, glared at Xiao Luo "fiercely", and warned: "You'd better not get close to the forbidden area, otherwise, hehe." ”

Xiao Luo looked away and said disapprehantly: "Someone said the same thing last season, but it didn't do it in the game. ”

"I have 5 Champions Leagues!"

"Grass, didn't you just deny it? In 98 and 2000, these two Champions Leagues are you embarrassed to admit? I'm embarrassed to say that the Champions League in '98 had my share, right? Andre? ”

Shevchenko smiled wryly at the front of the team and turned his head to look at Xiao Luo, but did not answer, Maldini, who was standing in front of him, seemed to want to stand up for his teammates, but Shevchenko waved his hand at him, indicating that it was okay.

Gattuso blushed and pushed Pirlo out again (to be continued......)
