Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

In the summer of 94 when Aldridge took charge of Millwall, his arrival was a farce that was not favored at the time, but it turned out that he changed the fate of Millwall, and at the same time, another figure who changed the fate of the club also entered a Serie A club at the same time, this person is named Zeman, and he became the owner of the Blue Eagle Lazio, which is now popular in Serie A.

Now many fans in Europe will say that Millwall's offensive football bull is a mess, but Serie A neutral fans or Blue Eagle fans will never agree, when the Wild Lions are still up and down in the English League, the Blue Eagles under the leadership of Zeman with 433 offensive football in Serie A sprung up, with the status of Serie A in Europe at that time, its influence and the overall style of Serie A, the team that dares to play offensive football is not nothing, but it is too difficult to play an impressive record, and Zeman did this, bringing Lazio into the "Little World Cup" Among the members of the Seven Sisters.

5:1 Napoli, 4:0 AC Milan, 8:2 Fiorentina, 4:1 Inter Milan, 4:0 Genoa and other big scores appeared in the same season, how can such offensive football not make people worship it?

Although Lazio failed to win the league title in the 94-95 season, they were able to score nine more league goals than champions Juventus, which is a remarkable statistic, and the attacking firepower is the highest in Serie A, especially in the context of the focus on overall defense and the fact that there are only 18 teams in the league.

Since then, Lazio have continued their attacking football style under Zeman, but it is not difficult for the manager to attack or defend. Offense and defense are integrated. The hidden defensive risk behind offensive football is year-on-year growth. As a result, Lazio's games are torn apart, often with big scores, but they are often disgraced by Italy's old business, and the important factor in missing the trophy is that they either win or lose their games, and there are very few draws.

It wasn't until Zeman left class that Lazio's magical and attacking football charm began to decline significantly. It was then after Swede Eriksen took over that a new era for the Blue Eagles.

In the summer of '98, Lazio was identified as one of the four favourites to win the title before the start of the new Serie A season, but they were not giants after all, lacking the temperament of a champion, just like Eriksen's first season, they were able to play a winning streak with momentum, but also ended in a six-game losing streak at the end of the season, last season Lazio was just one step away from the Serie A title, but in the penultimate round of the league they gave the title to AC Milan. In the end, they were runners-up by one point, and the best part of this story was not the amazing seven-game winning streak at the end of the season for AC Milan. It's not that Lazio's 4 wins and 1 draw ended but was ruined in that draw, but in the final sprint stage, in the Rome derby, Lazio was sniped by Rome led by Zeman!

Last season, Lazio only had the last European Cup Winners' Cup as a consolation, filling the gap of the league title at the end of the game.

Lazio's strong rise is directly related to the boss's burning of money at any cost, and this phenomenon has become very common in Serie A, where there are many gamblers, and it is not difficult to understand that there are winners and others are ready to move.

'We unfortunately only got a draw at home and we had more chances than Millwall at full-game and we are not afraid of Millwall even though they have just set a new record for consecutive wins in Europe's top five leagues.

"They are a Premier League team, we are a Serie A team, it is unfair to only compare the achievements achieved at home, it is much more difficult to win the trophy in Serie A than in the Premier League, and the competitiveness is not on the same level."

'Hall is a fantastic coach but he's not invincible and we have big ambitions for the Champions League and a win at Wembley would be a good mental boost for Lazio, even if Millwall are unbeaten in London.'

Eriksen talked a lot, a lot, ahead of the fifth match of the second group stage of the Champions Cup.

Perhaps he was trying to upset Millwall, for example, by making Aldrich lose his cool.

Who knows.

In short, Fleet Street added fuel to the fire, putting the Swedes' remarks in front of Aldrich as a provocation.

Aldrich did not respond and calmly left the press conference.

In the group standings, Millwall have climbed to the top of the group with eight points.

Lazio lost unexpectedly to Feyenoord in the last round and still have only seven points.

Bordeaux 4 points, Feyenoord 3.

Millwall's prospects for qualification took just one game to turn the tide, and now they will be secure in the last eight with no defeat in their final two games.

At this time, Aldridge can't afford to argue with the coach of an Italian team, wasting words and wasting time.

Aldrich didn't respond, but Fleet Street didn't want to let go of the gimmick.

As a result, the silence of the young marshal of the mad lion turned into a silent contempt.

Eriksen, Lazio.

You are not qualified to go wild in front of the wild lion!

The sky was clear on the night of the game, and the temperature was perfect for the players.

As Aldridge entered the stadium, he heard the Lions fans in the stands arguing with the Blue Eagles fans, the Lions fans choreographed songs to taunt each other, and the few Blue Eagle fans also fought back with Italian national curses.

Aldridge put his hands in the pockets of his coat and walked straight to the dugout to sit down, looking similar to the situation the team is in today: sit back and relax.

In the last two games, today at home to Lazio, and the last game in the Netherlands to play Feyenoord, if there is a draw on Feyenoord's side, Millwall will get a place in promotion regardless of the result of this game, as they have an advantage in their head-to-head record with Bordeaux.

Players from both sides began to enter the field, and the commentators introduced the starting lists of both sides in turn.

Millwall faced the battle with all the main forces, and the personnel were neat.

Lazio is also strong.

Goalkeeper: Maciegiani

Defenders: Pankaro, Mihajlovic, Nesta. Favalli.

Midfielder: Conceicao. Peron. Simone, Winter.

Forwards: Inzaghi Jr., Salas.

There is only one change to this squad compared to the original history, and that is the left wing-back, which was originally where Nedved should have appeared, and now it is Dutchman Winter.

Winter returned to Lazio in the summer of '98 and continued to play for the Blue Eagles. His original club status in Lazio was no less than that of Nedved, and he was one of the key members of the team that led Lazio to play attacking football before.

Simeone is the same Simeone when he played against Millwall at Inter Milan last year, and he is also the Simeone who fell to the ground exaggerated after being violated by Becky, a defensive giant.

Lazio is listed as the favorite team for the Serie A championship is guaranteed by strength, wizard Veron, Portuguese golden generation representative Concicao, world world central defender Nesta and so on are considered to be famous figures in international football, while others such as Pancaro, Inzaghi Jr., Salas. Favali and others are also well-known in European football.

"The game is on. Millwall kicked off first, and after kick-off, we saw Millwall speed up the pace of the game and press forward in formation, it seems that Hall's tactical choice in this game is to use a pressing offensive style of play, hehe, that's right, football, is played on the field, not by mouth, Eriksen was ambitious and tirade before the game, so what? After 90 minutes, there's plenty of time to talk about it. ”

Millwall's qualification situation is stable, but it should not be taken lightly, in case this game is lost, Bordeaux and Feyenoord side will split the winner, and the situation will be reversed immediately.

Playing at home and attacking aggressively is reasonable.

What's more, Aldrich is targeted deployment.

Fight fast today and drag Lazio down.

Simeone is really strong defensively, and he still showed his sticky skills today, and if he sticks to him, this player will basically be frozen.

But Millwall has so many attacking players in the frontcourt, Lazio can withstand one, two, and want to limit them all, which is a fool's dream.

In the first half of the game, Lazio defended passively and managed to keep up with the pace, but the scene was so unsightly that Eriksen got up from his seat and walked to the sideline with his hands on his hips.

Lazio, not even a decent attack can be organized!

Millwall's high-pressure pressing tactics, with attacking players counter-attacking on the spot, left very little time for the opponent to organize the attack.

Veron, the master of midfield organization, only succeeded in 3 of his 8 catches, 3 of the 5 times he didn't get the ball, 3 times he was directly tackled by Pirlo in advance, 2 times he was a teammate who made a mistake in passing, and after 3 successful pickups, he was directly destroyed by Pirlo and Nedved after being defended by Pirlo and Nedved.

Conceicao and Winter are old, 33, 34 years old and experienced enough, can not resist Zambrotta and Schneider, who are in the year of play, and there are also Larsson and Ronaldo's defensive bag, compressed in the area of the midfield, Millwall's extremely high tactical literacy in the defense of the Lazio formation cut to pieces, the Lazio players who received the ball will fall into isolation in less than 3 seconds, one-on-one breakthrough defeat, the whole offensive is over.

In the 26th minute, Simeone hung his foot directly in the backfield, he had experience in playing against Millwall in Inter Milan, and seeing that the midfield was paralyzed, he simply tried his luck directly.

Unexpectedly, his long pass really almost formed an assist.

Inzaghi Jr. saw that Materazzi had left Materazzi to one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but Bout had already prepared and ran out of the box to head the ball to his compatriot Schneider on the wing.

Under the high-pressure pressing tactics, the goalkeeper must not only stay in front of the goal, but must expand the defensive area, become a free man, can become a passing point, can also play the role of a scavenger, and if he stays in front of the goal, it will become a fatal hole in the team's tactical system.

This was something that Bout did to Aldridge's satisfaction.

Gradually, Millwall's advantage in playing a fast-paced pressing attack became more and more significant, and after the defensive intensity of Veron, Conceicao, and Winter dropped significantly, Simeone was completely unable to withstand it in the middle.

In the 32nd minute, Pirlo inserted the ball behind, and Veron chased back three meters behind him to reduce his speed, a bit of a sense of waiting for his teammates to successfully defend himself and then quickly organize a counterattack.

Ronaldo moved to the middle and played a one-two with Pirlo to break through Simeone's defensive zone, Larsson and Henry switched positions, Pirlo sent a scalpel straight to Henry, Henry swept the ball in front of the goal after going down the right side of the penalty area, Larsson deliberately dragged Nesta, let the ball roll in front of him, Nedved from Mihajlovic sliding tackle the ball from the back of the goal into the goal.

'Nedved opened the scoring! This is a typical Millwall-style goal, the attacking player suddenly switches positions to interfere with the marking of the defender, Pirlo passes the ball to tear up the defense, the striker either goes straight to the goal or unexpectedly passes it to the player who inserts it in the back, and the beautiful goal is never tired of watching! It should be time for Eriksen, who made a big statement before the game, to keep his mouth shut, his side have no way to fight back at Wembley! ”

Aldridge stood up and clapped and gave a thumbs up to the players on the field. (To be continued......)
