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

At the end of the first half of the second half of the Battle of the Century, Millwall expanded the aggregate score to a shocking 8:3, and the Lion King Stadium had already turned into a sea of joy, with many Lions fans waving their homemade Champions League trophies in their hands, for them, it was a perfect day, a perfect first half.

The Real Madrid stars walked into the tunnel in a nightmare for what was a nightmare first half.

The offense was a tough one, and the defense was full of mistakes.

Having been ambitious to play against Europe's top team since two weeks ago, and to step on Millwall's corpse to ascend to the throne, it now seems how naïve and naïve the ambition was.

Aldridge praised the team's watch at half-time, he was not as excited and excited as he was at half-time in the previous game, and the excitement of the star-studded supergame had passed, and it was calm at this time: Real Madrid, but Erl.

Aldridge should have been mentally prepared, when he studied Real Madrid, as of the end of the La Liga round, Real Madrid's table in the league is not impressive, their win rate is only 52%, the league has lost eight games, and it is 8 different teams that have beaten them in La Liga, all the losses are away, and there are also eight draws, this is not a league table that a top giant should have, but Aldridge thought that Real Madrid was the champion of the Champions League this season in its original history, The composition of the staff is also the same as in history, so it deliberately ignored these and placed Real Madrid in a very high and special position.

But think about it. Real Madrid's two group stage groups are very comfortable. And just like that, I still lost two games. Bayern Munich also lost a knockout round, even though they are the champions of this season in the original history, but the overall strength does not crown the giants, and Millwall's overall strength is super-first-class, and the top giants have also distanced themselves, especially playing La Liga, a team that pays attention to midfield control, coupled with the opponent's heavy attack and light defense, Millwall may have the luck to pull the total score so big. But the overall strength is still significantly stronger than the other party.

Thinking of these, Aldridge has nothing to be excited about, winning the other party, it should be, he spent a full 8 years to build a super strong team, if it can't suppress Real Madrid's midfield change in the past two years, Aldridge feels that it can only represent the victory of Real Madrid's golden dollar policy and superstar policy, on the other hand, his failure will be a shame.

Bosque did everything he could to boost the team's morale at half-time and console him first. When the team has recovered a little, he will motivate the team. Then lay out the tasks for the second half.

Regardless of whether the adjustment is correct or not, he has to try, rather than let it go, if so, in this terrifying stadium, Real Madrid, a natural green aristocrat, will suffer a historic bloodbath!

Before the start of the second half, Real Madrid made a substitution, Solari was substituted, and the person who came on was Karanka.

Aldridge saw Real Madrid make this substitution and did not have to wait for the game to start to understand Bosque's thinking.

Solari is an important substitute in Real Madrid, and so is Karanka, and this season due to the influence of high-level policies, Pavon has become the main central defender, and the former substitute Karanka is still a substitute, and the reason why he did not dare to use him before must be affected by the number of league appearances, and the state is difficult to determine, you must know that Karanka has less than half of Paven's league appearances!

Karanka withdrew to play at centre-back, and he can also take care of left-back, and in terms of defensive habits, he can expand the defensive area, unlike some central defenders who get dizzy when they pull the side and lose their position.

Ergra has returned to the midfield position, in fact, Real Madrid's most fluid midfield this season is Elgra + Makelele + Zidane, but the chain of the last game of the back line forced Bosque to withdraw Elgra in this game, and now after 45 minutes, this arrangement has been revised again.

In the first half, Real Madrid's midfield did not run smoothly, the fatal reason is because of the thinness of the back defense, Millwall's attack does not need to be cumbersome organization and scheduling, so that their overall formation does not have to press forward, Real Madrid's space when switching from defense to attack will not be too large, the last midfield operation is much smoother than today, the reason is also at this point, only the defense has a certain guarantee, and Millwall needs to invest more troops to attack, which can weaken Millwall's defense in a different direction.

The aggregate score was already 8:3, Aldridge sat comfortably in the coach's box, and Bosque's substitution adjustment was not enough to worry him too much.

However, after watching the second half of the game for five minutes, Aldridge still stood up and found that Real Madrid's entire attacking system had changed.

Morientes retreated, Zidane pulled the side, and sometimes formed a local connection with Figo or Carlos, unlike in the first half when Zidane developed an attack on the wing, the middle was empty, and now with Elgra on top, he can be more unscrupulous in attacking.

Real Madrid began to shift the strength from the global balance to the local advantage and then explosive advance, that is to say, Millwall has Nedved + Pirlo + Gattuso in the midfield, Real Madrid first does not attack the middle, leaving a retreating Morientes as a receiving point, there is a threat to take the ball to do the ball, contain Millwall's middle defense, and then concentrate on playing on the side.

Carlos came up regardless of the defensive assist, either playing with Figo or Zidane, and when the attack advanced to a parallel position over the line of the big penalty area, Raul flexibly interspersed the central defender defense area to form a disruptive raid, and at the same time, Zidane, Figo, and Morientes were also evenly distributed or concentrated in one area for impact!

Aldridge frowned, Real Madrid played like this, the tactical level is correct, and they can give full play to their superstar's ability to control the ball in a small area, not to break through, but to use a small area to concentrate on playing team with crossing.

But in the last game, it definitely didn't work, they attacked so fiercely, in case the attack couldn't be played, Millwall had Ronaldo on the left, Larsson on the right, and Nedved in the middle echoed Henry. With Xiao Luo's ability, he only needs to disrupt the opponent's defense from the side. Larsson's threat at this point will skyrocket.

But today's Millwall doesn't have Rowe. Presumably Bosque didn't figure it out until half-time when he calmed down, and Millwall was actually missing a core today!

The outside world said that Millwall was a dual-core configuration before and after, Pirlo was behind, Xiao Luo was in front, and the organizational area of the two was divided to minimize the negative impact on each other, reduce the probability of chaos in the attack, and reduce Xiao Luo. Millwall's quality has declined in the front, whether it is a single raid or a transfer attack, like Kaka's threat of only playing short passes all the way forward, with Makelele + Elguera, the second half will put Kaka in an unprecedented predicament.

In this game, Kaka's table was soaring, but the difficulties he faced were also gradually escalating, and in the second half, when Real Madrid returned to the double midfield, Kaka was lost.

Again and again when he was caught in the bag, he made mistakes in handling the ball. The attempt to break through was broken and the pass was not in place.

Aldrich walked to the sidelines. Trying to find an opportunity to communicate with Kaka briefly, his inner idea is to give Kaka more time and let Kaka go through such a test, even if he fails, it doesn't matter, but he must not be knocked down by difficulties and form a demon.

But in the 58th minute, Carlos played the ball up the sideline and he threw it hard at the back of Millwall's back line.

It was clearly a well-rehearsed tactic, with Millwall's backline pressing forward in order to match Real Madrid's local numerical advantage and figure out how to create an offside position to make Real Madrid's pass and cut fail.

Carlos's sideline ball is thrown, not a high ball, but a half-high ball that smashes into the box, the route is thrown from the sideline, flying through the gap between full-back Schneider and Materazzi, the landing point will be behind Materazzi, and who is the receiver?

Raul!

Raul started from Southgate's side, the running route crossed the middle of Southgate and Materazzi, the ball rolled diagonally, Raul also ran diagonally, once it was played, the intersection of man and ball, it became a single knife!

Materazzi must have turned too late, Carlos not only threw the ball with great power, but also with precise routes, even if Southgate reacted and chased Raul again, he was left behind by Raul.

Bout went out of the net, but it was clear that Raul would have touched the ball earlier and was at least five metres away from Bout.

Predicting that Bout's attack could not block Raul's single knife at the first time, Southgate started at the same time as chasing Raul who was about to be thrown off, he pulled Raul's shoulder, and then immediately let go, only letting Raul slow down his speed and stop, and then he was able to stick to Raul for a reasonable body collision.

Raul, however, became disheveled after being pulled off in the middle of the run and fell into the box.

Southgate heard the referee's whistle the moment he overtook Raul, who had fallen.

He sighed inwardly, then stopped and turned to see the referee running towards him with his hand in his breast pocket.

Southgate's eyes closed, turning into boos after hearing the uproar at the Lion King Stadium, he knew his fate.

"Red card! The referee didn't hesitate to show Southgate a red card! Southgate has a pulling action on Raul, otherwise Raul will not fall, obviously, if Raul does not fall, this must be a chance for a single goal, we can't defend Southgate's red card, it's just that Southgate is a little cruel, he will miss the next Champions League final, there is still half an hour, as long as Millwall does not concede 5 goals, they will be the third year in a row, the fourth time in history to break into the Champions League final, what awaits Southgate will be a record glory, however, this red card changed a qiē, Changed his fate! ”

Of course, the home fans at the Lion King Stadium quit and booed everywhere, putting pressure on the referee.

Southgate reopened his eyes and did not defend himself, even though Materazzi, Nedved, Pirlo, Schneider, Bout and other teammates all surrounded the referee and tried to make the referee sentence lighter, but the referee still showed no signs of changing the sentence.

Real Madrid players also surrounded the referee and tried to put pressure on the referee that Real Madrid deserved a penalty.

Raul fell in the box.

However, Southgate held the ball, walked to a meter outside the line of the penalty area and put the ball there, walked to the referee, separated his teammates, and said to the referee: "I committed a foul, you show me a red card, I don't defend, but I know where I fouled, right there, outside the box, not a penalty!" More than 60,000 pairs of eyes on the scene have already determined this from the replay on the big screen, and if you dare to award a penalty, it is a serious mistake in your work! ”

After saying this, Southgate turned around and left, halfway through, he stopped, turned around, Nedved was running over to try to comfort him, Southgate took the captain's armband off his arm, shook his head slightly at Nedved, signaled the other party not to comfort himself anymore, he personally put on the captain's armband for Nedved, patted the back of the other's head, and turned away without saying a word.

Aldridge didn't expect such a huge change to happen on the sidelines, no need to say it, the coaching staff has let Metzelder and Neil warm up, in the bench list, just these two defenders, anyone can play, anyway, get ready, see who Aldridge sends.

When Southgate walked to the sidelines, Aldridge, with a stern expression, suddenly asked, "Did you think about the consequences when you started?" ”

Southgate stood in front of Aldridge, shook his head and said, "No, no time. ”

"Do you regret it?"

"Nope."

Aldridge suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand, Southgate high-fived him and walked into the tunnel with his head held high, and as he left the field, the boos at the Lion King Stadium stopped and turned into applause, and the Lions fans in the stands near the players' tunnel all gave a standing ovation and watched Southgate leave the field with respect.
