"Come, Chief, dance with me!"
Ronaldo, who scored twice, rushed to the visitors' dugout and invited Aldridge to join him for a samba dance.
Aldrich smiled and pushed his head, naturally refusing.
The players who rushed out of the bench, along with the players on the pitch, gathered Ronaldo in the centre and celebrated the goal with his trademark samba dance on the pitch as the Bernabeu crowd watched.
This is not an insult to Real Madrid, it's just that individuals celebrate differently after scoring a goal, some players use roaring, some use pose, and Xiao Luo uses dancing to show the happiness in his heart when he is high.
Millwall lacks South American players, or few black players, so the vast majority of European players in the sense of rhythm and rhythm, do not have such a unique talent as Ronaldo, whenever Ronaldo dances samba dance, other teammates are smiling onlookers, although they do not participate in Ronaldo's dancing, but can feel the joy that this Brazilian young man brings them, especially after the goal of the passion, this happiness, let everyone have a unique sense of achievement, as if victory and achievement are full of poetry.
After Xiao Luo's celebration, Aldridge clapped his palms and warned the players not to relax, there are still more than ten minutes left in the game, and the most basic requirement is not to concede the ball!
4:2
If this score ends the first leg, the next leg is in London, Aldridge has absolute confidence to lead Millwall to this season's Champions League final, as for who the opponent will be, it doesn't matter who he is!
Bosque finally made a change.
He used substitutions to adjust the formation and change the style of play.
At 2:3, he didn't adjust because Aldridge adjusted first. Ostensibly weakened midfield defence. In fact, it is offensive instead of defending. After dominating midfield, he used his attack to suppress Real Madrid, forcing them to disconnect, which led to a mistake in passing and receiving the ball, which was scored by Millwall.
Bosque replaced Anelka, who lacked bright spots in the game, with Ballack, strengthening control in the middle and keeping Elgra fixed in the midfield position, thus forming Elgra. Redondo, Ballack, formed a pressure on Millwall's Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.
After Ballack came on, the physical German brought an immediate effect to Real Madrid, at least in the middle of the midfield, and Millwall greatly improved both the defensive pressure and the resistance to attack. At the same time, Ballack's strong confrontation ability makes him less physically than his Nedved and Pirlo. When attacking, you have to avoid the defensive impact of his point.
"Real Madrid now seems to be in control of the situation on the field, the attack is reinvigorated, Redondo has Ballack as a helper, not only to stabilize the defense, but also to play stability in attack, to send shells to the strikers, Bosque should have played like this a long time ago, although Redondo is very good, but the starter is in the middle of the midfield alone, both he defends, but also wants him to attack, against Millwall is at a disadvantage, this is normal."
The narrator began the afterthought.
Maybe many Real Madrid fans in the stadium think the same way, and now it seems that Real Madrid is playing the right football.
If Real Madrid end up losing the game, Bosque will certainly be questioned about this, but there are no ifs on the football field, only results.
There is only one truth: winning is everything.
If you lose, no matter how you prepare before the game, how you make adjustments in the game, you will be criticized, this is the football circle, the loser, even the defense will be a sin.
Aldridge has already sent Gattuso and Glenschal to warm up.
But just as he was ready to deal with the new situation with a substitution, there was a change on the pitch in the 84th minute of the game.
Ballack broke through Pirlo's defense with the ball, Pirlo's fitness began to decline and he could not stop the German's onslaught, and Ballack handed the ball to Raul on the edge of the box in front of the box.
Due to the removal of a striker, as long as it was not for the sudden insertion of several Real Madrid players into the box from the wing in a certain attacking period, Millwall's defenders were not at a disadvantage, and Real Madrid were also afraid of Millwall's counterattack, Carlos assisted, but Salgado stayed at the back to prepare for Ronaldo's impact.
So, Raul has Makelele on the defensive by his side, closely marking!
Southgate kept an eye on Ballack's line, Morientes was targeted by Materazzi, and McManaman was blocked by Zambrotta.
Raul was well aware of Makelele's ability to tackle, so he played tricky the moment he touched the ball, directly picking up the ball with his toes and carrying it into the box, wanting to suddenly get rid of Makelele's defense without stopping the ball.
Others rushed into the penalty area, but the ball did not pass, the ball was picked up and hit Makelele's body, Raul was stunned for a second and immediately raised his hand to the referee to signal that Makelele had committed a handball foul!
The referee's whistle blew at the same time, and Makelele was awarded a foul for handball.
Indeed, the ball hit Makelele's arm, and Makelele's arm left his body slightly, but not voluntarily.
Aldridge was only slightly nervous when he saw the penalty on the sidelines, and frowned.
Gave the opposition a set-piece, which looked like it was on the line of the penalty area.
But his expression changed suddenly.
"The referee awarded a penalty! Penalty kick! The referee decided that the handball foul by Makelele was in the penalty area! Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay now, uh, this ball, it's difficult to define, we can clearly see that Makelele is stepping on the line of the big penalty area with both feet, so his handball, it may be in the penalty area, it may be outside the box, we don't have a better angle of replay, this ball is like an offside penalty between millimeters, and the referee made the final decision and awarded Real Madrid a penalty! ”
Even the Real Madrid players were stunned for a second, and then clenched their fists and waved them to show determination.
Raul, who was closest to the scene of the incident, subconsciously only alerted referee Claude Makelele to the handball, not noticing whether it was inside or outside the box.
Aldridge was so far away that it was impossible to determine whether it was a penalty or not, but he still walked in front of the fourth official. "My player didn't mean to handball," he said. It's the ball hitter. And it's not obvious, he has no active intention to foul, in such a sensitive area, the referee awards a free kick on the line of the penalty area, we can accept it calmly, and a penalty can be awarded, do you referee team want to be the focus? Do you want to make headlines? ”
The fourth officer turned his head and covered his mouth with a serious face to explain to Aldrich.
Aldridge is not an unknown now, not the man who used to be ignored when he spoke to a referee in a European tournament, and he lashed out at a referee at a press conference. Even if he will be punished, the reputation of the referee will definitely be negatively affected.
And Aldridge's words are not excessive, if there is no controversy, it is definitely in the penalty area, Millwall will admit it, but in a controversial and sensitive area, a foul was awarded, and then a penalty was given, which really can't be said!
Before the fourth official could explain a few words to Aldrich, a scene broke out on the field that gave Aldridge a headache.
Makelele clung to the ball after being awarded a foul and appealed to the referee. Repeatedly, twice, three times, four times that it was the ball that hit his arm. He himself believes that his arms are close to his body and should not be a foul, and he did not expand the defensive area.
The referee ignored him, then awarded a penalty, and Makelele became furious.
At this time, if the horse is allowed to get a penalty and score, it is really difficult to say in the last few minutes of the game.
The referee ignored his appeal, and Makelele angrily smashed the ball to the ground.
The referee was right in front of him, and the ball that bounced on the ground flew in front of the referee, startling him, and then, the referee's expression also changed, and he was faintly angry.
When Southgate saw that the situation was not good, he immediately rushed up and reached out to gently press the referee's hand that was stretched into his pocket, and began to intercede for Makellele, telling the referee that the action just now was not aimed at him, but just the player's venting under pressure.
Materazzi also stepped forward to pull away from Makelele, who had already erupted, shouting at the referee's decision, and the frame was like a small volcano.
Even the Real Madrid players came to persuade Makelele, Raul and Elgra asked Makelele to calm down as much as possible, which was admired by Millwall players, Elgra may only be because he had played in Millwall, and Makelele was a former teammate, Raul, who showed a style on the pitch.
They could have watched from the sidelines, watching Makelle erupt or fanning the flames to make the situation worse, but it was only after Raul, Elgra, Nedved, and Materazzi that Makelle finally calmed down.
However, Southgate's intercession for Makelele on the other side was to no avail, and the referee still resolutely showed Makelele a red card.
Makelle turned away with a blank face.
After the referee showed the red card, Southgate gave the referee a round of applause and then a thumbs up.
The referee showed Southgate another yellow card.
Southgate didn't care, turning to face the less than 5,000 Lions fans in the visitors' stands, waving his arms up and down, and the Bernabeu reverberated for a moment with singing.
"Nobody likes us, it doesn't matter!"
The lion's anthem came from the stands at the Bernabeu and pierced the sky
When Makelele walked to the sidelines, the referee staff was ready to supervise his departure, but he stopped, lowered his head.
He couldn't face this man on the sidelines.
At the Bernabeu, his boss did everything he could to help the team get a good 4-2 situation, but he couldn't help the team in the last moments, making the game full of uncertainties.
He was sent off with a red card and will be suspended for the next game, how much impact will it have on the team?
Having fallen in the semi-finals last year, Makelle doesn't want to have any more regrets this year, but he fears that his red card will be the creator of regrets.
There was a gentle tap on the shoulder, and a soft voice came from the ear.
"Good day, Claude, go back to the dressing room, take a shower and wait for us, and then we will go home together."
Makelele's head was still down, but he took a step and passed Aldrich.
The fourth official came over and asked, "Do you want to change people?" ”
I wonder if the fourth official is reminding Aldrich out of comfort.
Substitutions, of course substitutions.
Certainly not now, though.
Aldridge didn't go to see the penalty, turned around and walked to the coach's box, just as he walked, the Bernabeu rang out with cheers, Raul took the penalty in one fell swoop, and the score became 3:4.
Aldridge then asked Gattuso to make the substitution and then put Glenschal back on the bench.
When Claude Makelele was sent off, Klinsmann sent all the substitutes to warm up except for the goalkeeper, at which point Aldridge called Neil in front of him and began to give him post-pitch tasks.
Before Millwall restarted, Gattuso came on to replace Ronaldo.
Xiao Luo also understood the intention of substitution at this time, so he slowly walked from the other end of the court to the side, the referee stepped forward to urge, Xiao Luo didn't pay attention to the other party, and pretended not to hear anything.
Kind of, you're playing my cards!
The referee really didn't dare to pull out any more cards.
The substitution dragged on for about 20 seconds, with Gattuso coming on to take Makellele's place.
A minute later, Millwall made another substitution, using up the last spot.
Neil on, Pirlo off.
Nedved retreated, Klose retreated, Millwall changed formation 4311, and all players contracted to defend in the second half. (To be continued......)
