When the outside world overplayed Millwall's hatred with Bayern Munich, Millwall's players were inevitably affected.

Originally, they were the losers last season, which makes it easier to make the mentality unbalanced.

On the plane to Munich, Aldridge spent an hour explaining the right football values to the whole team, so that the players could not go far on a stage like the Champions League with a determination for revenge, and that to become a king, hatred could not be relied on to motivate the team, even if it was really full of anger to defeat Bayern Munich, it would not be good for the long-term development of the team.

"Think about the first time we played against Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona and so on, what was going on in your mind?"

The plane had already taken off, but Aldrich was baptizing the whole team.

Larsson replied: "We want to show that we are not weaker than each other, that we can beat each other. ”

Aldridge said approvingly: "That's right, Henrik said our initial mentality, and that mentality is the most correct, we should keep it all the time, we lose the game because we are not as strong as the other party, we win the game, prove that we are stronger than the other party, it's as simple as that, and we want to be the strongest now, and always occupy this position, then in the face of every opponent, our mentality should be the same, because of the victory and strength, not because of the strong will win!" I want you to remember that, this time in Munich, we want to beat Bayern Munich, but not because we lost last year, but because we have to defeat all the enemies in front of us. That's all. ”

When the plane landed in Munich. A large number of Lions fans in Germany rushed to the airport to welcome them. The year before, Millwall had established a club-sanctioned fan organisation in Germany, and many seeds had been planted across Europe, and as Millwall had a strong record and stars flocked to them, these seeds quickly took root and grew stronger.

Aldrich led the team to stay in the hotel, and the whole team spent the preparation period quietly, and the next day had a simple training session, and the battle in the evening was about to start.

Millwall and Bayern Munich, the two favourites to win the title, met in the quarter-finals in advance. As a direct result, the attention of the other six teams to catch and fight each other has plummeted!

Media outlets from Europe to the world are stationed at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, and even media outlets that do not have UEFA broadcasting rights are on hand to update the proceedings in real time.

As night falls, the sky is cloudless, and the Munich Olympic Stadium is packed to the brim, with the star-studded stadium waiting for the two protagonists to make their debut.

As Aldridge strolled out of the tunnel in a leisurely manner, the lights flickered around him, and there was a significant surge in the number of reporters on the sidelines than in other games on weekdays, and there must have been a lot more shots.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines and looked around the stadium, speaking of which, Bayern fans were excited about the rematch with Millwall today. The performance is mixed.

The good news is that the visitor is a defeated man.

The worry is that this defeat will be significantly stronger than last year!

For them, the word revenge is just a joke.

How many years have Bayern been in Europe. Which giants have you never fought with? If you lose the game and form a grudge, then the list of enemies must not be densely written.

"The 1/4 finals of the European Champions Cup, the first leg of the match between Bayern Munich and Millwall will be the first to start in the Munich Olympics, I didn't expect that the two teams that met in the semifinals last season met again in the 1/4 finals a year later, last year, Bayern Munich drew 1:1 with Millwall in 210 minutes over two legs, eliminated Millwall through a penalty shootout, but in the end they lost to Manchester United in the final, this year's Millwall feels unstoppable and unbeatable, At least in the Premier League, they are still unbeaten this season, and have only been beaten by Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on all fronts, will such a team that is in good form and consistent fall in front of Bayern Munich again? Bayern Munich have also been in excellent form this year and are favourites to win the Champions League, so it's a close contest, but after two legs, one team has to leave, which is certainly a good thing for the other ambitious top-eight teams. ”

The Champions League theme song began to play in the stadium, and players from both sides walked into the stadium to fight in a row.

"Bayern Munich started 541.

Goalkeeper: Kahn.

Defenders: Babbel, Link, Anderson, Kufuor, Lizarazu.

Midfielders: Salihamidzic, Jeremes, Effenberg, Sauer.

Striker: Elber.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Ronaldinho.

Forwards: Larsson, Thierry, Nedved.

We didn't know if there was a mistake in the starting line-up, Nedved was deployed on the left wing, and the Brazilian Ronaldinho was in the midfield position, so if the two were reversed, there would be no problem. ”

The game started soon and Millwall tee off first, with good luck.

Away from home kick-off, Millwall can bring the whole team into the game with skillful ball control.

After all, there is a difference in the time it takes for individual players to enter the game, and if the opponent kicks off first to launch a fast attack, if a certain point has not yet entered the state, it is easy to make mistakes.

Millwall opened up the formation on the field, made reasonable use of the width of the court, and mainly used the midfielder to pass back and forth.

Bayern Munich didn't grab too hard, it was due to the formation.

Single striker Elber, bilateral strikers Sauer and Salihamidzic, plus Effenberg, up front, Bayern Munich only has a maximum of 4 players to press, after Millwall's bilateral defenders pull to the sideline, can they grab it?

What's more, Effenberg didn't dare to press too much, for fear that he would lose his midfield position.

Millwall kept Bayern Munich without touching the ball for three minutes before starting to attack.

Andrea Pirlo stepped forward with the ball. Effenberg kept his distance from Jeremes and went into a pressing rhythm. Andrea Pirlo passes the ball to Ronaldo. The latter was close to Jeremes, and he took the initiative to leak in the face of the incoming ball, and Nedved, who was behind him, took the initiative to run back to catch the ball, and without stopping the ball, he pushed sideways, and after Xiao Luo missed the ball, he turned back and ran forward, just in time to receive a pass from Nedved, facing Bayern Munich's back three.

bang

Ronaldo decisively took a long-range shot that went just over the crossbar.

Ronaldinho's long-range shot slid wide. It's dangerous! Bayern Munich's midfield defense seems to be not strong enough, and in the case of Millwall's sudden acceleration, Effenberg and Jeremes have no problem defending 2-on-2, but once Millwall's strikers retreat to respond to the play, they will miss 2-3. ”

Heathfield's face was expressionless, but his heart trembled slightly.

Millwall is indeed stronger than last year, and the most intuitive embodiment is Pirlo and Ronaldo, one is perfect in terms of organizational skills, and the other is more unpredictable in teamwork.

Last season was Ronaldo's first start for Millwall as a regular and he was impressive. It is mostly due to the play of his individual ability, but when he is familiar with the opponent and is targeted in advance. His performance in key matches cannot be said to be bad, but he will lose his magical power.

This season he has become more integrated into the team, and his understanding with his teammates and his own improvement in ability, especially his ability to read games, has skyrocketed his threat, and the embodiment of creativity is unpredictable, which has surpassed Nedved in this regard, because he has a better ability to control the ball than Nedved.

Bayern Munich attacked, Thierry Henry began to retreat, and Ronaldo also retreated, but neither man had a specific marking task to defend.

Bayern Munich passed the ball forward through full-backs and the ball found its way to the feet of Salihamidzic, who realised he was isolated before receiving the ball.

Nedved returned to the defense to suppress the assist Babbel, in the middle of the Makelele and Pirlo in front of the back to guard Effenberg, Jerry Maes did not dare to come up, because Ronaldo and Henry one by his side, the other behind him, if he stepped forward and was counterattacked, there was almost no defense in front of the back line!

Salihamidzic was in front of Zambrotta, and if he wanted to find his team-mate through passing, short passes were basically impossible, and long passes were either found by Sauer or Elber, both of whom were also targeted by Schneider and Materazzi.

He could only break through on his own.

Angel Wings flicked the ball to the outside and then suddenly cut inside in front of Zambrotta, who defended the opponent and stuck his position while turning, stabbing the ball back and sending it to Southgate.

Millwall defended successfully.

Southgate took a step forward with the ball and smashed it into Zambrotta, who was running from the side, as soon as Salihamidzic made a move towards him.

Zambrotta played the ball straight to Nedved in front of him, who also slotted the ball across to Andrea Pirlo, who adjusted slightly and picked up the ball in front.

The ball went over Jerry Mays' head, Henry met it with his back, Anderson pressed on behind him, and Henry jumped up and headed it to the side.

Ronaldo passed Henry and Anderson and worked seamlessly with Henry, unloading the ball with his chest and accelerating forward, facing the shrinking back line of Link and Kufuor.

In front of the penalty area, Ronaldo fired again from a distance, and this long-range shot was very threatening, but it was unfortunately blocked by Kahn who flew to save the ball.

"Karn's world-level saves! Ronaldinho almost pierced Kahn's ten fingers! ”

Heathfield stood up, his expression solemn.

Bayern Munich is too weak to fight!

At both ends of the pitch and defence, it seems to have dropped a notch from last season's clash with Millwall, even though they are still hailed as one of the top teams in Europe this season.

Originally, when the two teams met last season, Bayern Munich did not break through the door of Millwall, relying on opportunities created by set-pieces.

Intuitively, Bayern Munich have one less striker than last year, but they have strengthened their attack on the flanks.

The back five is still a back five, but in terms of roles.

Mateus has already decided his next home and will move to the Major League Soccer to pan for gold, with the Champions League farewell match being staged in the second group stage.

Anderson can't replace Matthaus, although he looks like he is in the same position as last season, but his role on the pitch is anything from the same.

One is a free man, who can attack and retreat, and the other is a central defender, who simply defends, and is firmly nailed to a position by the area and task limited by his own responsibilities, Bayern Munich lacks the contact point that the free man inserts when attacking, and lacks Mateus, who can flexibly switch between intercepting the central defender and the scavenger.

No matter how strong Bayern Munich thinks the outside world is, Aldridge will make Bayern Munich surrender to Millwall in this game! (To be continued......)
