The 2oo1-2oo2 season kicked off, and Fleet Street jokingly called this season the London minor league!

London has been buzzing this season, with seven of the 2o English teams occupying seven places.

Millwall.

Arsenal.

Tottenham.

Chelsea.

Charlton.

West Ham United.

Fulham.

West Ham United and Fulham were promoted from League One last season, with both teams inextricably linked to Aldridge or Millwall.

They are bitter enemies with West Ham United.

Fulham's current boss is also an old friend of Aldridge's, especially with Thierry Henry in Millwall.

Jean Tigana.

Before Abu, a combination of angels and demons, arrived in London, there were already foreign bosses who were living the same dream as Abu.

Egyptian giant Jafayyad spent 3ooo million pounds in 97 to buy Fulham, which was still in League Two at the time, dreaming of building Fulham into the Manchester United of the South, or the second Millwall in London, and the annual investment is at the highest in the competitive environment in which Fulham is located, but the team did not get its wish until last year when it hired Tigana, and returned to the English top league after 33 years.

Tigana has the financial backing of Fayyad, a successful track record in France and a strong track record of technical flow, which has led Fleet Street to hail him as a second Arsene Wenger and is expected to lead Fulham to success in London and English football.

Tigana himself has ambitions, saying in an interview before the start of the season that he dreams of leading Fulham to glory, and then he retires to enjoy life.

In addition to Tigana's success at Monaco, there is another factor that has made him the media spotlight, and that is after Ruud Gullit. Tigana is the second black coach in the British era, as the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and under the influence of social values, the rarity of black coaches in the UK has made Tigana have a very high degree of attention.

British opener.

The defending champions sit at the Lion King Stadium. Ushering in the London Derby.

Wild Lion Vs Farmer.

After the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 97/98 season, Aldridge and Tigana played again, but the difference in the quality of the teams led by the two has been a world apart.

Millwall have no grievances with Fulham, whose sworn enemies are Chelsea, and the east London team is not in the same boat. In today's game, the hostility of the fans outside the stadium is not strong, and they enter the game step by step, and the Lions fans now also have a sense of superiority, playing Fulham, the word derby can be ignored. Not at all on a notch.

Aldridge complimented Tigana before the game, and then waited for Tigana to arrive early at the Lion King Stadium.

For Tigana, it was like a scene from abroad, and as soon as he walked out of the tunnel, Aldridge was greeted by Aldridge standing on the sidelines with a smile on his face.

Tigana takes Aldrich's hand as he looks around at the interior of the majestic Lion King Stadium. The deafening cheers made him have to speak close to Aldrich's ear.

"The atmosphere at Millwall is even hotter now than it was at Wembley, Aldridge, what a great achievement."

Tigana sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The last time Millwall was at Wembley, and four years later, Millwall had a magnificent new stadium and a grandeur of grandstands.

This is Aldrich's credit, and Tigana admires it. His backstage owner, Fayyad, had the money, but he couldn't afford to spend money to bring a new stadium to Fulham, an investment that was so great that even the richest could not afford it.

Ordinary people with a net worth of 5 million yuan will definitely not buy a Ferrari sports car. has a net worth of 500 million US dollars, and he is not willing to build a new stadium that costs more than 500 million.

Aldridge and Tigana made an appointment to go to the office after the game to catch up with the old days, the other party came to London a year ago, but has never contacted Aldridge, even if Fulham had a request for purchase last year, and wanted to buy a few young seedlings from Millwall who are not particularly outstanding in the youth team, Tigana did not call Aldridge to ask for accommodation, and Millwall did business, and also agreed to Fulham's offer, but unfortunately the youth team players have high vision and look down on Fulham in League One.

After the pleasantries, Aldrich returned to his seat and sat down.

"The opening game of the new season is about to begin, the defending champion Millwall meets the new English team Fulham, this is a London derby without gunpowder, Millwall has not played against Fulham in the past seven years, but Millwall coach Aldridge Hall has played against Fulham manager, it was in the season when Hall really became a top coach in European football, Millwall eliminated Monaco led by Tigana in the Champions League semi-finals, interestingly, the number one star in the Monaco team at that time, Now Millwall's number one killer, Thierry Henry. ”

"There have been a lot of topics around Tigana recently, the outside world generally believes that he has the potential to become the second Wenger in the English field, also coached Monaco, also advocates the European style of football philosophy, is also good at promoting young players, and is also French, haha, Tigana brought Saha from France last season, this young player has scored 27 goals in 43 games in League One, it is a big hit, in the new season, Tigana has brought Malblanc from France, he will continue to use his skills to train young people, Just like he trained Thierry Henry, Barthez, Gyuli, Sagnol, Reese and many others at Monaco who are now competing at the top level. ”

"Andy, Tigana has the ability, but I don't think Fulham is a match for Millwall today."

"I think it's unfair to Tigana and Fulham to talk about that, but Fulham have only returned to the top level for the first time in 33 years, and Yingxiu has met the defending champions, Millwall, who have terrified the whole of Europe."

"Wasn't Millwall's Yingxiu back then also a challenge to the Red Devils Manchester United? The end result? I still remember them as they were held to a last-minute draw at Old Trafford by Manchester United, and it was United who held them to the level. ”

"Well, you say that and I have higher expectations for the game, if Fulham can cause problems for Millwall today. I think the outside world is going to reassess Fulham. ”

In anticipation, the game of the new season of the United Kingdom has finally begun!

Millwall kicked off first, and the ball was passed back to Pirlo's feet, who controlled the rhythm and looked at his opponent's posture first.

See the opposing team's number one striker. Saha, who was a big hit in League One last season, pounced and Pirlo crossed the ball to Gattuso, who then saved Gattuso, who passed the ball back to Pirlo.

Fulham came out on the road and started cautiously, with only Saha harassing back and forth in front. Everyone else was honestly in position in the second half.

Pirlo saw the other party's position, and his heart was at the bottom.

Although Fulham's static positioning is very reasonable, excluding the goalkeeper and Saha who harassed him in the front, and the other nine players seem to have divided the back area into a reasonable position, this seemingly reasonable positioning is actually dangerous.

Experience. After all, the opponent came to England from the English League, although there are some veterans in the team who have been eliminated by the United Kingdom, but Fulham always looks trembling in his heart.

Pirlo didn't need much of a playmaking campaign and he handed the ball to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo took the ball from the wing after crossing the halfway line and dribbled diagonally towards the middle.

Fulham's original and reasonable formation was broken one by one in the process of Xiao Luo's impact.

One, two, three. Ronaldo was running like he was running through the obstacle course with the ball, and the Fulham players who chased and intercepted him failed one by one.

Fulham's mistake is that they did not directly compress the most dangerous space, in a vain attempt to block Millwall layer by layer, but with players like Xiao Luo who only give him a certain amount of space and break through one by one, the Fulham players are more like fighting separately in their respective territories, and then defeated by Xiao Luo one by one.

"Wow, Ronaldinho has made consecutive passes, he has completely disrupted the Fulham defence! Oh my God, in front of the penalty area. Fulham had 5 people rushing towards Ronaldinho together! ”

Xiao Luo knew that he couldn't rush down anymore, the two in front of him were going to close the door, the left and right people were going to wrap up, and there was a chaser behind him.

Even if the ball can pass, he will inevitably be brought down by the opponent. And definitely not in the restricted area.

Ronaldo stepped on the ball and smashed it out of the crack with his scissor feet.

Thierry Henry, unmarked, took two slow steps forward after receiving the ball in the box, and then smashed his foot into the far corner of the far post with the arch of his foot as the goalkeeper moved a step.

'Thierry Henry scored so easily, Ronaldinho did 99 per cent of the work, Henry just had to shoot as easily as he did in practice, Fulham conceded the goal in the opening 29 seconds, our pre-match expectations are shattering, and Fulham are probably only now really understanding the gap between them and the best teams in Europe.'

Henry turned his head and pointed at Ronaldo after scoring the goal, he didn't celebrate, most of the credit for this goal went to Ronaldo, and he didn't celebrate because Fulham's manager was Tigana.

Without Tigana promoting him at Monaco and performing well in that crucial season, he struggled to get on the last train of the French national team and ended up becoming world champion.

Tigana saw Thierry Henry open the scoring and indeed as the commentator said, and in less than a minute, he really felt the difference between Fulham and Millwall.

Xiao Luo, I can't prevent it!

Especially when one player after another goes up to intercept, it's like a circus being played by Xiao Luo one after another.

Tigana is still a little proud and confident, he doesn't want Fulham to be like other teams in the middle and lower reaches of England, against Millwall when ugly set the bus, with a human wall to block the goal, but the reality is, without the bus, Millwall attacking the foursome in the frontcourt, one-on-one, in the case of enough space, who in Fulham can not fall behind one-on-one? And a player like Xiao Luo, don't say one-on-one, even if the two defend, they must stick to him, do not give him space to start, space to show his skills, once he has space to start and explode, that scene is just like just now, the small compass belt, a sharp change of direction, followed by a group of Fulham players, like a small train speeding on the field.

Tigana shook his head, walked to the sidelines, and made adjustments, the bus, must swing, no, maybe it will be bloodied today, Millwall always has a few games every season that kill the opponent in tears rather than die
