745 Victory of the Young
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal left Souness stunned.
Plans can't keep up with the fast pace of change!
Before he could give the order for the whole team to make a last-ditch effort, Millwall kicked them off the edge of the cliff!
Beneath the abyss, Souness understood that he had lost, that Blackburn had lost to Millwall, and that he had lost to Aldrich.
He made a stupid move in the first half, leading the team to concede two goals, excluding Ronaldo's goal, and the rest of the time, Millwall's attack, and Blackburn's defense, were actually more balanced, and the field was evenly matched.
However, the appearance of Ronaldo has changed this balanced situation.
Is Ronaldo stronger than Ramour?
No, Souness knows, it was he who lost to Aldridge at the coaching level.
Ronaldo and Ramour are players with different characteristics, he didn't expect Ronaldo to play, the study of Ronaldo is not enough, the preparation, naturally insufficient, after Ronaldo's debut, Blackburn did not change the defensive strategy accordingly, there is no plan for targeted restrictions, Souness lost, lost on this point.
If it's Rowe who appears, Blackburn has prepared it carefully, and so have the others.
However, Aldridge sent Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who studied them in Millwall's opponents and may be overlooked in preparation, because there are only 11 people, and there are 7 substitutes, and it is impossible to give all of them to strikers.
Lamore can integrate the team and stimulate the integrity of the team, but Lamore does not have the impact of Ronaldo, when Ronaldo and Kaka are combined in the same line to break through Blackburn's back line. Ronaldo can still rush down one way and play the killer again. This is his merit. That's what Aldridge sent him to.
Changing the rhythm, Blackburn defended Ramour for 6o minutes, and Ramour did not break through, they did not stand the test, and suddenly became Ronaldo, this change can catch Blackburn off guard.
At this moment, Souness had no other choice. Ordering the whole team to attack, the instructions are the same as in the established plan, but the meaning is different, one goal behind, it is a let go, two goals behind, more like a dying struggle!
Aldridge didn't give tactical instructions, he wanted to see if the young players on the pitch would play in such a situation.
As nonsense as it sounds, two goals ahead. Can't kick anymore?
Yes, there are a lot of teams that don't know how to play when they're ahead. Because the mind is bound, is it offensive or defensive? How to unify the thinking of the whole team? Some teams are frequently reversed, often when they are ahead, the team does not attack itself.
Ronaldo always remembered the exchange with Aldridge before the game, at this time, he was now pressing up Blackburn to attack, Aldrich did not say to step back to counterattack, he thought of the realm of "control the game".
When it comes to the game of control, it must be driven by a certain player, such as Pirlo, who does not need to control the ball, but can pass the ball with a kick to achieve such a goal, when he often chooses to play the ball safely, he is in control of the game, if it is despicably described, he may be playing with the opponent, treating the opponent as a beast, he is a beast trainer, and the beast wants to swallow the opponent but has no way.
Blackburn pressed up, Ronaldo paid special attention to the position of Alonso and Zambrotta, he did not choose to rush, but ran back and forth slowly, and when the ball came, he kicked the ball and quickly moved the ball.
Blackburn carried out crazy sieges, Millwall transferred the ball faster and faster, one, two, three, the ball, it seemed that it couldn't be passed, but when Blackburn moved more and more balls with Millwall, the center of gravity of the crazy siege also continued to shift, the defensive system was torn apart, and after arrival, they themselves were messed up.
In the 87th minute, Alonso faced the siege and passed the ball back to Zambrotta, who did not hesitate to play a long pass.
This long pass is not particularly accurate, but in front of his side, there was a big gap in the Blackburn line, and when the ball flew over the midfield, Ronaldo had already crossed the opponent's back line!
When he saw the ball, Aldridge stood up from the dugout, because he saw that all three Millwall players were successfully offside!
Ronaldo won the ball on the side, but the ball didn't stop well, and the degree slowed down, he only had two options at this time, forward is the foundation, but he does it alone or passes?
Going it alone, he starts to cut inside, and Blackburn will definitely be able to get back into place.
Pass, as long as you pass the ball firmly to the middle, Klose and Villa, whoever it is, will face the goalkeeper one-on-one, one-on-one!
At this time, it is a test of whether he puts himself first in his heart at this moment, or the team!
Therefore, Aldridge stood up and stared at Ronaldo, he was like Najib who saw Ronaldo for the first time, and couldn't help muttering: "Pass, pass, pass"
Ronaldo originally wanted to go it alone, this opportunity is too good!
Maybe he was too excited, didn't stop the ball, but kicked the ball forward gently, so he caught up with the ball and stopped again, and the degree dropped, at this time, he saw Klose in the middle and Villa at the far end, if he did it alone, he would have to get rid of at least one defender who was chasing back in place when he entered the penalty area.
Kick the ball hard with the arch of the left foot towards the middle, netbsp; Aldridge closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, no matter whether the goal is scored or not, Ronaldo, in the time he came off the bench today, Aldridge can give him 9 points, almost perfect!
As he closed his eyes, he heard the stadium erupt in earth-shattering cheers.
The coaching staff around them applauded, cheered, and laughed.
Aldrich opened his eyes and saw Klose doing a somersault in celebration.
"4:1, Millwall locked the win, the first crown of the new year, firmly in the bag, congratulations to Millwall, this is a young victory for them, a victory that belongs to Millwall in the mouth of Hall, the far-reaching significance behind this victory is far more important than a championship trophy!"
Souness straightened his suit and turned to walk to Millwall's dugout, with one minute left in the game. He came at this time. Congratulations Aldrich in advance.
Aldrich shook hands with him. Then the two stood on the sidelines and had a brief conversation, Aldridge, as a young man, gently patted Souness's arm, no matter what, this very brilliant head coach in his playing days, Aldridge has no deep friendship with him, at least there is respect.
And Souness has a good network of contacts in English football and has a lot of friends. It can be seen that the popularity is good.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the players and coaches stood up and hugged each other in the Millwall dugout, and they walked into the field, after all, the League Cup was not heavy.
But the players on the pitch, like Alonso, ran around excitedly, laughing and roaring to their heart's content.
From start to finish, Alonso. Kaka, Klose. Villa's players are the first choice, unless there is an injury, this trophy is not "mixed" by them, but they have fought it themselves, which is of extraordinary significance.
Aldridge walked into the stadium to congratulate the players, and then, at the request of reporters, took a photo with some of the players on the sidelines.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka stood next to him, one left and one right, while Villa sat cross-legged in front of him, gesturing thumbs up and smiling.
When they returned to the locker room after the medal ceremony, the group of young players was almost in a mess, naked in their underwear, with medals around their necks, holding medals in their hands and biting their mouths for group photos, Gattuso used the trophy as a cup, poured champagne, drank a few sips, and splashed it on his teammates
Aldridge knew that the senior players in the squad would celebrate in moderation, and as for the youngsters, they were allowed to indulge in today.
The next day, Fleet Street focused on Millwall's League Cup victory, the League Cup itself was not very attractive, but except for the final with half of the main lineup, all the other games were played by young players, all the way to the final, and in the final final, all four goals came from substitutes.
"Maybe we can't see Klose as a solid substitute for Millwall, because he has been competing for the main team, who can't play Millwall's main forward trident, then Klose is definitely the first choice, his number of appearances this season is no different from the main player, but young players like Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, must represent the future of Millwall, the League Cup has always been a stage for the training of British teams, but can practice here to achieve such an effect, dare to arrange in the finalWith the audacity to trust young players, Hall's courage to admire, and his adventures paying off as expected, should we stop wondering: Why are Millwall so strong? We should ask rhetorically: why do some strong teams dare not give trust to young players? Why is there a huge gap between them and Millwall in terms of youth spending? Why would they rather spend £1oo0,000 to bring in players than £30,000 to improve the academy? ”
David Miller is a big fan of Aldridge, but he doesn't just admire Aldridge, he will dig deep into the reasons for Millwall's success, summarize them, and spread them out, hoping to have a positive impact on the football world.
As for newspapers like The Sun will use "Millwall to secure at least a season double!" Aldridge basically doesn't even look at the content, but he is still happy to be hyped by the media, as long as it is not excessive, and it is also for Millwall.
The young players had a good time, and it took too much energy to celebrate the victory, even if they had a day off and returned to the club the next day, neither of them had eased up, Ronaldo had run to Aldridge alone, asking to be in the Champions League squad, he was definitely not going to play, but he hoped to be a substitute.
Aldridge refused, citing his physical condition as a substitute, and Ronaldo left disappointed and went back to work hard.
He wants to play in the Champions League because he is a little selfish, because Millwall is playing the Champions League in midweek and going to Porto, Portugal, and Ronaldo wants to take the opportunity to return to his hometown, and it is best to appear in front of his compatriots and tell all Portuguese people with practical actions: 17-year-old me is wearing a giant jersey and standing on the stage of the Champions League!
Millwall's main players are very sober, only two days later, the League Cup won as if they had never been born, they are fully preparing for the Champions League game, in the game against Boavista, the main players waved dìng, defeated Bovista with a score of 3:o away from home, the second stage of the Champions League group stage won three consecutive victories, as long as they return to their home stadium and win Bovista in a week, they can announce their promotion to the Champions League quarterfinals!
