"The Lion Storm has swept through Hell!"

"The Millwall Twins shine all over the room!"

Galatasaray finally lost at home with a score of 2:4 and missed the Champions League round of 8, while Millwall won all 6 games in the round of 32 group stage and advanced to the top 8 with a terrifying record of 6 wins in the round of 16 group stage!

Seven years ago, it was thought that Ajax would rule European football for an era, but it was eventually destroyed by the impact of the Boseman Act, Millwall became the real ruler of this era, and supernovas continued to emerge during the dynastic period, and people now question whether Millwall will rule this era of football, because they are now the king of European football!

The question is: how long will Millwall rule?

Millwall shows no signs of decay, finances, the long-term construction of the team, the two most important factors, Millwall is not only not worrying, but also very good!

Nyon, Switzerland

The scene of the draw for the top 8 of the Champions League.

Representatives of the quarter-finals came to the scene, Millwall sent CEO Adam and assistant coach Jurgen Klinsmann, but Aldridge did not show up.

Perhaps in addition to the representatives of Real Madrid, the representatives of the other 6 teams all hope that Millwall can draw Real Madrid, so that the two strongest teams in the Champions League this season will fold one before the top four!

Millwall wasn't the last team to be drawn, and after the seventh team was drawn, the guests were already aware of Millwall's fate. Because the last team left is called Barcelona. And Millwall's opponents in that column. It's still empty.

"Millwall vs Barcelona!"

Adam's face was expressionless, he should have been the focus, here, without any attention, no one would feel that he could stand for anything, and Klinsmann smiled, and in the interview at the end of the draw, Klinsmann talked eloquently.

"There are no weak teams in the top 8. It's actually the same for everyone to get to the last four, but Millwall have the awareness to face any difficulty, Barcelona have a strong squad and the quality of the team cannot be underestimated, it will be a difficult 180 minutes, or, 210 minutes, but in the last two years, or even four years. Millwall got to where they are today in these circumstances, and we are not afraid of Barcelona. I hope that these two games can bring high-quality and wonderful games to fans, and maybe there will be a classic game that fans will never forget, hehehe. ”

Fleet Street hyped up the feud between the two teams after the draw results came out.

"The battle of rivals! On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Millwall's European crown, meet Barcelona again! ”

Tracing the grievances between the two teams, Millwall is famous in Europe with Barcelona on its feet, in the 97 European Cup Winners' Cup final, Millwall defeated Barcelona with aliens, and it was that game that began, Millwall began to officially enter the field of vision of fans all over Europe and even around the world, no one will remember that Millwall eliminated the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain before, only remember that year in the final, they defeated the fantastic Barcelona.

Then in the Champions League, Millwall and Barcelona met, gave the opponent a heavy blow, it can be said that Millwall and Barcelona's grievances, unlike Bayern Munich with the story of "you stab me, I will crush your bones to ashes", one-sided, Millwall stepped on Barcelona on the top, and comprehensively suppressed Barcelona, if there is hatred, it should be Barcelona unilaterally to revenge, Millwall will not think that the two sides have much hatred, after all, they have defeated too many giants, and they can't count them.

Towards the end of the season, Aldridge lived a very regular life, refusing to socialize a lot more than in previous years, in addition to working during the day, he spent less time with his family at night, he would stay in the study until 10 o'clock to work, and Evan spent time with the children to avoid letting Bert and Earl disturb Aldridge.

She knows that the more this time comes, the more serious and committed Aldridge will be, especially with the World Cup waiting for Aldridge this summer.

In addition to his own work, Aldrich spends most of his time researching his opponents, collating the information he collects, then reading, researching, repeating, pondering, thinking, looking through his past notebooks, and developing ideas.

He understands very well that in a cup competition with the nature of a knockout round, it is not enough to do the internal work on his own, absolutely not enough!

Maybe 90 hours or even 90 days of energy required from the coaching staff for a 90-minute game!

On the FIFA match day, Aldridge led the LinkedIn Gran national team to face the visiting Paraguay at the Lion King Stadium, and he sent the main team of the national team to end the warm-up match with a narrow victory over the opponent, which also greatly reduced the negative impact of the defeat in the last national team warm-up match.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are about to begin, and Barcelona will first be visiting London, and Millwall will welcome their opponents at home.

The current Barcelona coach is Alex Rexage, a Barcelona legend who worked as an assistant to Cruyff after retiring as a player, and was a firefighter before that, and is in charge of Barcelona for the second time this season.

Speaking to the Catalan media before his departure, Rexach was steadfast in his words: "I think a lot of strong teams have made a mistake when facing Millwall, that is, they are afraid to play against their opponents, the reality is that Millwall's defense is not the best in Europe, Barcelona will go away and will not shrink in defense, even if we want to take away a draw, it must be a draw with goals, but we will aim for victory!" ”

Lexach's remarks were echoed by the Spanish media.

Millwall's defence is top-notch at best, by no means a model of defensive victory, it is their weakness and must be exploited, and they are extremely confident that Barcelona can score away from home and even destroy the unbeatable lions in attack!

Rivaldo, Barcelona's number one, said: "We are not afraid of Millwall, they are strong, we are not weak, we can win! ”

Kluivert made a bold statement: "I will break the goal guarded by Bout!" ”

Traveling from Spain to London is not like a football team, but a Catalan army!

Barcelona are united in their quest to break Millwall's domination of Europe.

In the face of the majestic Barcelona, Aldridge relayed to him what Barcelona said in an interview before the game, and he replied sternly: "I appreciate Barcelona's courage, and this is one of the things I ask the team to have." However, I don't look at the opponent blindly, maybe Rexage is right, we are not the best defensively in the world, but he should think about why Millwall's opponents will strengthen and strengthen their defense to face us. Probably, Barcelona met an opponent with excellent defense in Spain, and their eyes were only on the defense. ”

Aldrich's remarks made the reporters on Fleet Street look down and smile.

La Liga leader Valencia relies on defensive talent to top the list, and in terms of offense, Valencia is a big difference between the two giants in La Liga

The Lion King Stadium was packed to capacity, and the home fans made a traditional Millwall cheering pattern in the stands, the iconic blue lion.

Aldridge shook hands with Lexage before the game, and was ready to direct the game without saying a word, perhaps Lexage planned so, and Aldridge sat directly in the coach's box, looking as usual, staring sharply at the still empty arena.

"In the first leg of the 01-02 European Champions Cup 1/4 finals, the defending champion Millwall is at home to face La Liga giants Barcelona The game is about to begin, and the players from both sides have entered the stadium for the Champions League opening ceremony. Barcelona coach Alexach said so before the game, and it depends on whether Millwall coach Hall is accompanied.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.

Barcelona started 442.

Goalkeeper: Bonano.

Defenders: Reziger, Abelardo, De Boer, Sergi.

Midfielders: Overmars, Cocu, Roshenbach, Enrique.

Forwards: Kluivert, Rivaldo.

The game is about to begin, so let's wait and see. ”

This much-anticipated pinnacle battle kicked off, don't look at Barcelona's ranking in La Liga, it's a bit unsightly, but the giants are giants after all, simply talking about the strength of the lineup, how big is the gap between Barcelona and Millwall? Millwall's flashy attacking group doesn't need to be repeated, but on Barcelona's side, Kluivert, Rivaldo, Enrique, and Overmars, are they unknown?

Roshenbach, a rough Brazilian, does not attack well, putting him and Ronaldo together is simply the two extremes of Brazilian players, but his fighting and fierce defense have good strength, plus the never-giving fighting Cocu, Barcelona's midfield is very tough.

The attacking players are the focus on the field, which makes the outside world look forward to the confrontation between these two teams.

Rexage said before the game that he would capture the Lion King Stadium, and he dared to say this with confidence, if he had players like Rivaldo, Kluivert, and Overmars who didn't dare to say two big words, then the coach was too unambitious.

As for Aldridge sitting in the coach's seat, he hoped that Barcelona would set off smoke bombs and make some surprise moves.

But after seeing the situation after the opening, he smiled calmly and said to himself: "It seems that there is no need to fight wits today, fighting courage is enough." (To be continued......)
