Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Three days before the Champions League final, Millwall and Bayern Munich arrived in Milan, Italy, on the same day to prepare for this pinnacle battle.

Compared with Bayern Munich's last-minute escape to win the championship, Millwall lifted the league trophy with a hearty victory, regardless of morale, confidence, or state, the outside world thinks that Millwall is better, which is the truth.

Will Millwall be underestimated?

Aldridge responded at the pre-match press conference: Defending the title can make history, who would be careless? What's more, Bayern Munich is slashing Manchester United and Arsenal in a row, although Millwall will not link themselves with Manchester United Arsenal, but it is necessary to respond to the outside world's evaluation of the lack of weight of the English championship!

The Serie A championship has plenty of gold, but the Serie A team has been dismal in the Champions League for two consecutive years, of course, one of the reasons defended by the Italian media is that because of the fierce competition in the league and the strict internal friction, the Serie A team will seem to be more than willing to go to Europe.

This argument sounds difficult to refute, but there is some truth to it.

But if it is simply said that England is not competitive, then it is to underestimate Manchester United, who can definitely enter the top five in the European power rankings in recent seasons.

Aldridge also said solemnly at the press conference: "Millwall came to Milan City to make history at San Siro and leave with the Champions League trophy, the opponent is very strong, but we will beat them in the game, because we are stronger!" ”

The outside world is now the young marshal's external rhetoric has begun to change.

In the past, he had a humble attitude, and even if Millwall was listed as the favorite, he would still be cautious.

But now, he's always going to tell everyone about Millwall's ambitions.

It's changed, Aldrich has changed.

Because Millwall is no longer the Millwall it once was.

Now, Aldridge wants to create Millwall's image as a king and the team's temperament.

This is far higher than the temperament of a strong person, and it is more difficult to shape.

The true king, no matter who the opponent is, must have the confidence and obsession to absolutely defeat the opponent. There is no room for any doubt from the outside world.

It is necessary to build on the previous pursuit of victory.

For them, it's not that if you don't win the championship, it's that if you don't win, you're a failure!

Of course, no team can guarantee victory in every game, but when this belief is instilled in the players, when the game cannot be won, it gives them a stronger sense of crisis. The consciousness of defending honor, at the same time, is also a means to promote the spirit of the players not to slacken.

They need to maintain their athletic ability and be worthy of Millwall's kingship.

Professional football is very cruel, a player may only have a career of 2o years, of which the peak period is only about 5 years, and the peak period should be longer. If there is no huge decline in competitive form, the players themselves need to maintain their concentration at work.

Bayern Munich coach Heathfield is much more low-key, after all, Bayern Munich was killed by Millwall last year, although Millwall is not as eye-catching in the league this year as last year, and it cannot replicate the glory of last season's treble, but Millwall's further improvement is irrefutable.

Millwall were beaten twice by Liverpool in the domestic cup competition, and there was no criticism of Millwall from the outside world. Liverpool also won the three cups, the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the League Cup.

Millwall lost to Liverpool in the second team, and it can be said that Millwall continued their youth tradition at the expense of domestic cup glory.

If you have to fight for all the trophies you can get, it will inevitably reduce the space for young players to come out and practice, which is contrary to Millwall's youth philosophy. In order to ensure the quality of youth training, young players are given the opportunity to play every season and let them grow, and the price is naturally the results on the field.

If you want to cultivate a steady stream of young talents, and you want to win all the championships, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

When you're lucky. For example, last season, such as the cup championships won in the past few years, the young people are competitive, or the knockout opponents they meet because of the schedule are not too strong and do not pay attention to them. In the end, they won the domestic cup championship, it can only be said that Millwall earned, and they really have to use the main force to impact the domestic cup championship, so the sacrificial youth training tradition, in the long run, is obviously doing more harm than good.

As a result, the opportunities for young players have not been seen to be enough this season, as Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole have left on loan in the middle of the season.

Aldridge has been in Milan since he arrived, the top three in northern Italy, and some clubs with a little financial strength have sent managers to meet with him privately.

Serie A has ended, the Italian team's recruitment work is naturally on the table, many people want to play Millwall players' ideas, this is not a day or two, but where the player is a little famous, it will naturally be eyed by peers.

Aldridge declined all appointments, and the club, both the transfer representative and CEO Adam, also adhered to the club's rules: no transfer until the season ends!

If the picture of Adam and a club representative is photographed, the outside world will naturally think about it, and as soon as the news comes out, it will definitely disturb the morale of the military.

On the day of the match, the San Siro was packed, with fans from Millwall and Bayern Munich rushing in to cheer on their respective teams, as well as neutral fans, especially local Italian fans.

In the final of the neutral venue, Millwall still had the advantage!

Bayern Munich don't have Italian players in their squad, while Millwall have Italian players in their squad, four of them alone!

Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Pirlo!

As a result, neutral fans came to San Siro partly with a purely appreciative mentality, and partly with support for the Italian players.

The San Siro was also putting on a theatrical performance, an appetizer for the audience before the game.

Aldridge sat in the locker room, looked around at all the players, and said lightly: "Do you need me to say anything to stimulate your fighting spirit?" ”

All the players, their eyes as wild as beasts, said in unison: "No! ”

Ambition is not just Aldrich's.

Most of these players have followed Aldridge for many years, playing the Champions League final for the third time, and if they can win the championship, the record of winning the Champions League three times is enough to go down in history!

The honor is actually great. However, if you really compare history, there is a big mountain that makes all the current players very helpless.

From the first year to the fifth year of the Champions League, Real Madrid won five consecutive championships, of which Hento won five times with the team, and later won again, becoming the player with the most Champions League titles.

Six Champions League titles. Gento dominates the throne, and Di Stefano only has five, so if you really have to count the rankings, Real Madrid accounted for one vote during the five-year winning streak.

However, honours are not boring numbers, and the difficulty of today's Champions League. It's a lot tougher than it was back then, and it's a great thing to win two Champions Leagues, and now there are plenty of players in Millwall's squad who want to lift the European Champions League for the third time, and if they do, it's an unrivalled glory in the last two decades!

In the presence of such glory. Millwall's players are full of fighting spirit, and in the more colloquial parlance, if this battle is successful, they will almost be able to become gods!

No matter who stands in the way, come one, destroy another!

Aldridge is no longer verbose, and the main purpose of his pre-match training is to motivate his players. He is clearly not needed to deliberately emphasize this point today.

The players walked out of the dressing room in high spirits, ready to make a big splash.

Aldridge entered the field and shook hands with Heathfield first, this was the fifth time the two had played each other in three years, and there was no private conversation, but it was appropriate to greet each other, as for the game. Both of them also tacitly kept silent, just a kind of meeting and chatting like friends.

The San Siro stands today are divided into two camps: red and blue.

Fans of Millwall and Bayern Munich found it strange.

In the league, Bayern Munich competes with Schalke O4 for the championship, and Schalke O4 is blue. Bayern Munich is red, and in today's Champions League final, they met Millwall in blue.

Millwall fans also find it weird, this England and China are in a red and blue war with Manchester United, and when they come to the Champions League final, they are still red and blue.

But on second thought, the fans of both teams comforted themselves and felt that this was a good sign.

Well, the blue of Schalke O4, lost.

Ha, the red of Manchester United, also lost.

The bizarre and similar mental activity of the fans of both teams is quite interesting.

The 2ooo-2oo1 UEFA Champions League final was played today at the San Siro Stadium in Italy, against England's last Champions League winners, Millwall, who are the defending champions against Germany's Bayern Munich, both of whom won the league four days ago, both in the final round. In the past two seasons, Millwall and Bayern Munich have met four times, with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, Millwall's advantage is more obvious, but the defeat in Munich in 99 cost them the opportunity to defend the Champions League that season, last season's home and away double defeat Bayern Munich revenge, and finally lifted the Champions League trophy for the second time, this season, the two teams met again, as two top teams recognized in European football in recent years, Millwall and Bayern Munich will meet in the final, it is not surprising, they have such strength to come here, but there is only one champion, let's keep our eyes open to see who can finally lift the championship trophy! ”

Players on both sides of the field, each fighting spirit, if simply on the momentum, in fact, Millwall is slightly inferior to Bayern Munich, the German team is strong during this period, the spiritual level of the bonus is very significant, this is not illusory, reflected on the field is the fighting spirit, fighting spirit, unity and cooperation and so on, football games to put it simply, skills are very important, but sometimes, the spirit of the strong team, often can show terrifying combat effectiveness.

Here's a look at the players and formations on both sides.
