The new season is just around the corner as the Charity Shield marks the end of the break in English football at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Millwall's squad arrived in Cardiff, Wales, in good spirits, and Liverpool are also gearing up for a big start in the new season.

Last season's three championship trophies, three cups of Liverpool's spirit is renewed, the Red Army seems to be listed as a part of the new season of the British Champions Group, since 95 years, the British championship, has been Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal between the game, Liverpool is expected to break this old pattern, and Manchester United, Arsenal together to challenge the league three consecutive championships have formed a monopoly Millwall hegemony.

For Liverpool's re-rise, Aldridge gave a high evaluation in front of the media, and he himself said: "I like the city of Liverpool very much, if Liverpool as a traditional giant in England can impact the league championship, this will further improve the competition in England, not only conducive to the development of England, but also to Millwall to bring positive stimulation, you know, if your opponent is always the same, and you can always beat the opponent, this will undoubtedly make your aggressiveness blow, Millwall needs a new challenge, Whether Liverpool can cause problems for our title defence will be known when we arrive in May. ”

Aldrich's words were bluntly interpreted by Fleet Street as something to say.

Maybe he's telling the truth, Millwall do need more challengers to keep them in a sense of crisis and aggressiveness, so that the team doesn't become mentally empty after a series of wins.

But Aldridge was clearly sarcastic about Manchester United and Arsenal.

It is believed that these two opponents have been Millwall's title rivals in the past, but in the past three years, they have been repeatedly defeated by Millwall.

Liverpool boss Houllier has shown limited ambition. Claiming that Liverpool has the strength to challenge for the league title in the new season. But the team still has the Champions League to play. The two-line battle is severe, and being able to enter the top three in the league is a realistic goal.

Cardiff is a city in Wales, and many teams in Wales were established 7o or 8o years ago, but at that time, Wales did not have a mature league system, so many professional teams in Wales joined the league system in England until 92, when England was founded. The Welsh league has also been established, with some Welsh teams returning to the "home" league, but some, such as Swansea City and Cardiff City, have chosen to stay in England, a more mature and competitive professional league system.

In the 10th year of the UK, there is still no Welsh team in the UK, and even a "strong team" like Swansea, which has always been dominant in the Welsh Cup, can only survive in the fourth tier of England at the end of last season. Narrowly close to relegation to the non-professional league, which is normal in the eyes of the English. Can Wales defy England's sport as rugby, football? How could this group of Welshmen herding sheep make a difference in English football!

Just like the home of the Welsh football team, the Millennium Stadium, was originally built for rugby matches.

The English League champions, the FA Cup winners, and the Millennium Stadium will be at the Millennium Stadium, in addition to the fans of the Lions and the Reds flocking to the stadium to watch the game, local Welsh fans are also willing to pay to enter to watch a matchup of England's giants.

The Charity Shield was held here, and the stadium was packed with nearly 75,000 seats, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"There are still more than ten minutes to start the game, we saw Hall on the sidelines and Houllier talking to each other, the two managers have known each other for a long time, and it is rumored that they have a good personal relationship, which seems to be true."

Aldridge knew that Houllier was not in good health, so he took the opportunity to say hello, Houllier sighed, the job of the head coach of the football club is tiring, a lot of work is just the basics, and the stimulation of on-the-spot command also puts a huge load on people's hearts.

The players from both sides lined up to enter the field, each with their chests held high, the old players were calm and restrained as if with majesty, and the young players were heroic and vigorous.

"Millwall, Liverpool, the players of the two teams have entered the stadium and are taking a group photo before the game, and the interesting thing is that today the two teams will face off against the Charity Shield, and in three weeks' time, the two teams will meet in the European Cup, and today's game can be seen as a rehearsal.

Millwall, 433.

Goalkeeper: Pagliuca.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.

This is Millwall's Champions League final, and there are no personnel changes, which is why in the new season, as long as Millwall participates in all competitions, they are listed as the biggest favorites! Compared to previous summers, there are always main players leaving, this year Millwall has had a quiet summer, only a few substitutes have been released, considering that their bench players like Metzelde, Barzagli, Alonso, Klose and other players have improved significantly compared to last season, Millwall's overall strength in the new season has only risen but not fallen!

Liverpool 442

Goalkeeper: Dudek.

Defenders: Carragher, Hyypia, Henjoz, Reese.

Midfielders: Murphy, Gerrard, Hamann, Smitchell.

Forwards: Heskey, Irving.

Houllier sent Fowler to Leeds United in the summer, and the team's strength seems to have declined, but if Fowler stays, Liverpool may be in trouble in the new season, because the conflict between Fowler and Houllier is already well known, and if this problem is not resolved, Liverpool will not be able to stabilize internally.

Whether Liverpool is qualified to challenge Millwall's English supremacy in the new season, today's game, maybe the result will not be too convincing, but we can also see some fame, in the end, Liverpool and Millwall are not equal or the gap is obvious? ”

Aldridge sat in the dugout before the game began, his expression calm, thinking about something that no second person in the world would know.

South Locker Room Spell!

Well, Millwall used the South dressing room today, which was only closed at Wembley at the start of last season. There are not many days left before England's major tournament moves to the Millennium Stadium. The spell in the South Locker Room certainly hasn't been revealed.

There will be quite a few teams in the future who will lose games by using the South Locker Room. Hence the name Spell.

Aldridge didn't take it seriously, just remembered that there was such a thing, and wanted to see if Liverpool really had a form booster in today's game, or Millwall was imposing a weakened debuff because of using the South Dressing Room.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool moved fast and attacked, and there were many people who attacked, one high and one fast and two forwards. Behind them, Smitchell, the brave Gerrard, and full-back Reese all rushed forward.

Millwall was caught off guard and almost cleared the goal, but Palchuca swung normally and safely cleared Owen's shot.

Aldrich was startled, thinking that there was some kind of magic at work.

But after watching it for another 5 minutes, I realized that it was a false alarm!

He glanced at Houllier in the dugout next door.

Liverpool. It really took a few cup championships to restore the domineering of the Red Army in the past.

The Millwall players on the field were pressed for a while at the beginning, and the players were confused. When they got into the state and saw Liverpool's posture today, the Millwall players were all happy in their hearts.

Pirlo looked at the back, then at the front, at the players close to Liverpool, and Gerrard was inseparable from him.

After realizing it, he exclaimed in his heart: Ah, you actually want to fight against us?

It's either that Liverpool has a buff, or that Millwall is on top of the debuff, or that Liverpool wants to play against Millwall!

Houllier, like many coaches, had a headache when he encountered Millwall, studying how to deal with Millwall, defensive counterattack proved to be not very feasible, Liverpool itself is not the mainstream tactic of defensive counterattack, and Valencia, who played well in defensive counterattack, was abused by Millwall for two consecutive years, Bayern Munich also played defensive counterattack, and finally left the field with three eggs.

Since the counter-attack has little effect, then attack, play against the offensive opportunity, and take the risk is risky, but Houllier thinks that at least the probability of winning will be much higher than playing the defensive counter-attack and being knocked down by Millwall step by step.

Liverpool today is actually a small diamond-shaped midfielder, Hamann at the back, Gerrard and Murphy in the middle, Smitchell in the front, Riser on the left and Murphy on the right.

After familiarising himself with the general pattern of Liverpool's players' positioning and movement, Millwall began to exert force, and the field commander Andrea Pirlo took the initiative to move his position to the left, away from Gerrard and closer to Murphy.

Not only did Andrea Pirlo appear as the Reds attack, but other players naturally noticed it as well.

The attacking players were excited.

The Red Army is good!

It's really not easy, to meet a person who dares to fight against us, and we have to sprinkle flowers to celebrate when we catch an opponent with a little balance of skills and tactics on weekdays, and when we meet you today, we simply won the prize.

Attacking means that the opponent's offensive investment must be large in order to play an effective offensive, and at the same time, the space in the backcourt will become larger.

In the 12th minute, Smitchell picked up the ball with his back in front of the penalty area and was about to turn and plug the ball straight to Heskey when he was tackled by Gattuso, who immediately passed to Pirlo after breaking the ball.

Murphy and Gerrard wrapped a flick of Pirlo's ankle and the ball slipped through the narrow gap between the two, while Zambrotta rushed past Murphy and rushed forward after getting the ball.

Zambrotta dribbled the ball like a wild horse galloping across the midfield.

No one!

Gerrard and Murphy were left behind, and Hamann stared at Nedved not daring to go up, and he was stepping back, and the entire midfield area was empty.

The Liverpool backline was shocked, and Houllier was also in the middle of the fire.

Zambrotta, how can you get the ball down the middle?

Aren't you a wide player?

There was a big gap in the middle, and Zambrotta ran down the middle with the ball, which was not at all the usual dribbling area for full-backs.

Hamann finally came up when Zambrotta dribbled to the 40-yard area, but Zambrotta was at the peak of his game, and he broke through Hammam's zone with a nimble diagonal change.

Millwall 5 to 4!

Liverpool's back four are like big enemies!

Nedved cut in diagonally to the left, Ronaldo cut through the middle from the left, Larsson cut through the middle from the right, and Henry pulled from the middle to the right.

Reese and Larsson close in the middle of the box.

Carragher and Ronaldo in the middle of the penalty area.

Hyypia was to seal Nedved, and Henjoz was supposed to be with Henry, but Ronaldo and Larsson were in the middle at the same time, so he stood still, hoping that Riser would be able to flexibly switch to keep an eye on Henry.

But in the midst of this lightning, the Liverpool defence has done a good job, and only one person has been missed, and that is Thierry Henry.

Zambrotta didn't need to think, the team-mates on the front line were finished, the space was clear, his pass rolled right behind Reese to the middle, and when Reese stopped and turned again, Henry stopped the ball at the same time and knocked back to the inside, Reese seemed to be lost, looking around looking for someone.

Henry squares diagonally at goal from close range and volleys hard.

The ball flew over Dudek's head and into the back of the net. (To be continued......)
