Thanks to the reward of "Death of the Thief" and "Frozen 88"! ——

Aldrich, of course, remembered his birthday, but he never made a name for a celebration party, nor did he make a big deal about it, as if others didn't know what to do, and if they didn't bless him, he was very miserable.

Moreover, on May 20th, the day of the Champions League final, the manager jumped out and said, "Today is my birthday".

As soon as the head coach Chrysostom opened, the players and colleagues around them, did they pay attention to it or not?

If you don't pay attention to it, will the impression score in the head coach's mind fall immediately?

If you pay attention to it, how should you pay attention to it?

It makes sense that Aldrich didn't even want outsiders to know that it was his birthday.

Today he received a blessing from friends and family by phone, and that's it, three hours before the game, he left it all behind, and even when Nedved held his jersey high and the whole team blessed him, he realized again: the birthday he had just forgotten was back.

The disciples had this heart, and Aldridge was so moved that he didn't even know what to say, he could only hug each player.

Brady was in the stands, with his arms around his chest and smiling, and the stands quickly caught the attention of the live camera.

Because the Lion's Roar fan organization is here to put up signs in the stands in their traditional way.

A few rows of fans turned around, and the oversized letters behind them formed the words and arranged in an orderly manner to form the slogan.

Aldrich Hall

Legendary young marshal

Having you is the same as having happiness

Hats off: Happy Birthday!

5/20/94. Aldrich returned to East London on his 18th birthday. He received a birthday gift from his eldest brother: Millwall Football Club in League One.

Four years later. On May 20, 98, in the final of the European Champions Cup, Millwall is now leading Real Madrid by one goal!

"It turned out that today is the birthday of Millwall coach Hall, it is really a special moment, the Millwall players congratulated him after the goal, and there were also fans in the stands who played blessing slogans, this is definitely a classic scene in the history of the Champions League final, the 22-year-old young coach. What can you do if you're officially in charge of the team for four years, four years, and give someone else four years? Aldridge has brought a team in the second tier of English football to the height of the Champions League final step by step in four years, with 8 trophies in four years, even excluding the Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup, he still has 6 glittering trophies, he is indeed young, but his coaching level should not be underestimated by his youth, no one is qualified to question this. On this special day, we should also send our blessings: Aldrich Hall. Happy birthday! ”

Aldridge was embarrassed by the players and showed a shy side in a rare situation with a sideline command.

After the celebration, the players cheered each other on, scoring a goal was only a temporary lead, and their tactics would not change, as Aldridge had repeatedly stressed before the game, unless they could lead by three goals!

Even a two-goal lead is not safe.

Real Madrid tried to fight back after conceding the goal, but they found that Millwall on the opposite side had no intention of recovering at all, still pressing and threatening Real Madrid's goal again and again with their mercury-like teamwork.

Heynckes frowned deeply as he watched from the sidelines.

In fact, many teams have a few points of intimidation when they encounter Real Madrid, and they all use a way of collecting and playing to meet them.

This style of play cannot be said to be wrong, but it is a disguised help to Real Madrid, because the opponent's weakness is defense, once the pressure on their defense line is not so great, then Real Madrid's attack will destroy the opponent like Mount Tai, which is a tactical mistake.

Millwall did the opposite, pressing the attack, and if Real Madrid wanted to hold on, then they had to invest more troops in the defense, which in turn weakened their attack.

Today, from the opening, Seedorf, Karrumb almost did not play in any attack, because their absolute speed is not fast, when switching from defense to attack, their starting position is close to the penalty area, if they do not play the ball in time and choose to dribble forward, then Millwall's overall retreat speed is faster than their dribbling speed, and then form a siege.

But when they got out of the ball, the pass success rate dropped due to the long stretch of the line, and they were prepared to intercept by the Millwall defenders at the back.

After conceding the goal, the offense did not go up, and the defense was not stable, Real Madrid immediately retreated across the board, stabilized the situation first, and avoided being collapsed by the opponent in a game period.

Real Madrid's contraction, Millwall played around the opponent, Pirlo hit the crossbar with a long-range shot that bounced off the crossbar, and the fans in the stands let out a loud sigh.

It would have been nice if it had scored!

At this time, no one would have imagined that Pirlo's long-range shot that hit the crossbar in the 31st minute would become a maddening start to Millwall's game!

Towards the end of the first half, Millwall's corner kick was hoisted into the box, and in the chaos, Trezeguet's close-range shot was blocked by Hierro, the ball hit his leg and bounced towards the top edge of the goal, only to hit the crossbar again, bounce off the ground and bounce off the ground before being held in Ilgener's arms.

Twice the crossbar.

At halftime, Aldridge walked into the dressing room to ask the players about their status, today they played full attack and defense, physical consumption is a severe test, and strive to solve the battle within 90 minutes, Real Madrid had no chance in the first half, it was blinded by Millwall's opening posture, and there was no timely response strategy, but it became more and more heavy, but Heynckes will definitely make adjustments at halftime, and Millwall will not be able to face the panicked Real Madrid in the second half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Millwall's fighting spirit was even stronger, and it was still the rhythm of the first half, pressing Real Madrid to beat hard. The first attack worked wonders. Larsson and Shevchenko ran to the same side. Taking advantage of the quick two-to-one offside position to successfully play a single goal, Larsson pushed the far corner of the goal, seeing that Ilgena could only look at the ball and sigh, but the ball hit the post and bounced out!

That's when the fans in the stands realized: this is too bad luck!

Malegobi's, less than 50 minutes, two crossbars and one goalpost, Millwall not more, just one can rewrite the score to 2:0.

Aldridge shook his head slightly on the sidelines.

It's hard to say that it's a luck factor. Because whether the ball goes in or not is a scientific question of whether it will enter the range of the goal, even if the wind blows the ball out of the goal, the gust of wind is not called by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid could only play defensive counter-attacks and made a clear change in the second half, switching from defending to attacking and then moving from midfield to the wings.

Three minutes later, Nedved entered the box to meet Schneider's cross from the side and headed it in, but Ilgner held the ball firmly and then ran to the line of the box and threw the ball down the left flank.

Schneider was already back at full speed after the cross, but someone was quicker than him. Brazilian Golden Left Foot Robert Carlos!

He's faster, there's no doubt about it. Especially when the attack is launched, he doesn't have to stop the ball and then move forward, Ilgener's hand throws the ball is to throw the space behind Schneider, Carlos accelerates along the side, Schneider changes the line halfway through, he doesn't chase Carlos, but runs towards the ribs of his own penalty area, intending to let Makelele block Carlos, slow down the opponent's rhythm, and then go to fill in the position.

Makelele only looked at Schneider's running position to know the opponent's intentions, and glanced at the situation around him, Pirlo retreated and also stared at Raul, and in terms of the number of defenders, Millwall had one more.

He moved to the right and didn't dare to pounce too hard, afraid that Carlos's cross would be cut in for Seedorf.

But Carlos had a tendon, that is, he walked with the ball to the bottom line, and near the 45-degree angle, Carlos unexpectedly chose to shoot from a distance!

Yes, at least it looks like the ball was headed in the direction of the goal.

The bombardment was so surprising that Bout was well prepared, but he was also taken aback, and the ball was so powerful that he could only block the ball and go outside, Pirlo took the ball on the perimeter and was not turned around but was tackled by Raul, who then shot from outside the penalty area.

Bout fell to the ground and pounced on the ball again, and for a while there was chaos in the penalty area.

Mijatovic got the ball and he stepped forward, Southgate reached out but didn't touch the ball, Mijatovic fell to the ground, and the referee whistled for a stoppage and fingered the penalty.

Southgate roared angrily at the referee: "I didn't touch him! It was a miscalculation! ”

Aldridge also raised his right hand angrily on the sidelines for the first time, raised his index finger and shook it back and forth, and shouted to the fourth official: "That's definitely not a penalty, absolutely not!" It was Mijatovic who deliberately fell, and he wanted a penalty! If the referee doesn't want to be ridiculed after the game, he will be punished for faking a fall! It's him who faked a fall! ”

But the fourth official ignores Aldrich, in Europe, which onion is Millwall?

Even if Aldridge is praised on the altar in England, he is as small as gravel in front of the behemoth of UEFA.

"Well, the decision is debatable, in slow motion, Southgate stretched his foot, but he didn't touch Mijatovic at all, it was Mijatovic who hit Southgate when he fell to the ground, but between the flashes and fires, the referee didn't see it clearly, but this will inevitably become a point of contention after the game."

The referee insisted on the penalty, and Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a sneer and shook his head.

Although the opponent is suspected of faking a fall, this opportunity to fake a fall is still obtained by Real Madrid to capture the second point of attack, and the first wave of their frontal positional attack or counterattack is completely unable to threaten Millwall's door, but for the defense of all top teams, it is not difficult to defend head-on, and the difficult thing is the unpredictable second and third attacks.

Raul stood in front of the penalty spot, and when the referee blew the whistle, Raul ran and kicked the ball into a theoretical corner, but Bout did not guess the right direction and watched the ball go into the net.

"Real Madrid equalised from the penalty spot! 1:1, although they do not have an advantage in the situation on the field, at least they are not behind the opponent in terms of score, which makes their mentality at least not become anxious with the passage of time. ”

Aldridge applauded his players from the sidelines to recover from the blow of the goal they conceded, while also encouraging the fans to cheer them on louder.

"Forget about the penalty, focus on the football, don't think about anything else, there is time in the game, we can win!"

If it had been a normal and reasonable penalty, Aldridge would not have shouted at the players.

But a penalty kick that seems to be faked will leave the players upset, and Aldridge must make them focus on where they need to be!

If you feel aggrieved in your heart, if your attention begins to argue with the referee and fight with your opponent, then this game will definitely be lost!

Southgate shouted to his teammates with a determined face: "Come on, let's score again!" ”

Nedved, who has never gossiped much but infects his team-mates with his actions, ran at high speed after the kick-off to drive the offensive movement, which immediately lifted Millwall to pick himself up and maintain his previous high level of performance. (To be continued......)
