784 Lower Half
After the league, Millwall began to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and the atmosphere of the whole team was relatively relaxed, without the tension before the big game.
On sunny mornings, the players arrive early at the training pitch to chat or do some warm-up exercises before the official training session.
Schneider and Klose were strolling around London together last night when they saw a group of edgy young people dancing in a modern plaza complex, and Klose recorded a video with a digital camera, which is now being shared with his teammates.
Xiao Luo came a little late, but it was still early before the training started, so he was not late.
When he arrived at the training ground, he saw a group of teammates watching the footage from the digital camera, and he became interested, so he danced directly on the training ground, as if to compare with the boys in the video.
He was jumping happily, but his foot tripped while doing the twist, and then, he fell on the training ground, and then, the team doctor confirmed that he was injured.
Aldridge had a good morning, he had rested on time for more than half a year, his body was well conditioned, he got up early today, he was full of energy, he had a morning love exercise with Evan, and he came to work refreshed.
He didn't go to the training ground, he went directly to the medical center, after learning the reason for Xiao Luo's injury, he wanted to teach him a lesson in a fierce manner, but seeing Xiao Luo hanging his head and putting an ice pack on his ankle, Aldrich couldn't bear it.
"Hey, you're leaving me speechless! Are you not interested in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final? Do you have to play such a heart-pounding play to be happy? ”
Aldrich sat down next to Ronaldo in a joking tone.
Xiao Luo didn't understand what Aldrich meant at first, but after pondering for a while, he raised his head and wanted to cry without tears: "Boss." I don't want to! The turf of the stadium has not been repaired. There's a pit there. Maybe the turf is loose, anyway"
"It's your fault anyway! Don't complain about the turf, the training ground, not the place to dance, please, are you too relaxed? ”
Xiao Luo thought for a while and said, "It's possible." We've already qualified for the finals. In short, I didn't mean to avoid the second leg of the semi-finals, by no means! ”
The second leg of last year's Champions League semi-finals. He was absent because he was sent off in the first leg and injured.
Aldridge waited here for the team doctor's diagnosis report, and it was not until the end of the morning that he learned that Xiao Luo would be absent for half a month, which reassured him a little.
At least not as tight as last year, and there is a certain amount of time for him to recover.
"Take care of your injuries and don't have any more accidents!"
Before leaving, Aldrich simply gave Xiao Luo some activity bans, anyway, during the recuperation period, he stayed at home and went to and from the club's medical center. Two points and one line.
Xiao Luo immediately nodded in agreement, he was also afraid of other problems. After all, what awaits him is not only the final of the European Champions Cup, but also the World Cup in the summer.
Aldridge returned to the coaching staff conference center, convened the coaching staff, and reformulated the tactical arrangements for the second leg of the Champions League, fortunately in misfortune, Xiao Luo was not injured before the start of the game, at least now, it can give Aldridge time to rearrange the team's tactics, Xiao Luo is a key role, he is not on or off, although Millwall's defensive system has not changed much, but it will have an intuitive impact on the entire offensive system, because his role can be replaced!
The day before the Champions League game, Fleet Street focused on Ronaldo's injury, and Millwall officially announced yesterday that Ronaldo would miss the game due to injury, and the expected recovery period is two weeks.
This can't be hidden, Xiao Luo not only goes in and out of the club for training, but also has paparazzi to follow and take pictures when he goes out to eat.
Millwall will use the trick of smoke bombs, but if Xiao Luo is allowed to act with his feet wrapped in crutches, it is too inferior, and it is also a bit second
'Ronaldinho will miss this game, that's the reality.'
"Who will Millwall send to replace him? Klose? Villa? Ramour? ”
In the starting line-up, Ronaldo started as a left winger, with Fleet Street rightly believing Millwall would replace Ronaldo with a striker.
However, Aldridge replied: "I haven't decided who to send yet, I need to see the status of the substitutes before the game." ”
No one at the scene believed what he said!
Absolutely nothing!
It's tomorrow and Millwall haven't finalised their starting XI for tomorrow yet?
It is true that some clubs will decide on the starting line-up at the last minute before the game, but Millwall's tradition is not like this, the outside world has been probing into Millwall's internal secrets, and Millwall's tradition has long been known, and the tactics and starting XI will be finalized the day before the game.
Aldridge doesn't say it, it's just that he doesn't want the opponent to focus on it, if he tells a lie, it is easy to hurt the player's heart, for example, he said that he will start Alonso tomorrow, but the result is not, what will Alonso think?
The next day, the second half of Millwall's battle of the century against Real Madrid continued at the Lion King Stadium.
Compared with the attention at the Bernabeu, the attention of the game at the Lion King Stadium has obviously decreased, the president of Real Madrid has not come to watch the game away, and Millwall also deliberately left the largest box for Real Madrid management, maybe the total score of 3:5 makes Real Madrid's senior management reluctant to come to watch the game again, maybe Florentino can't stand the torment of watching the game with Arthur.
The number of fans who came to Real Madrid to watch the game away was not large, and some of the tickets allocated to the away team were still circulated on the black market, which were snapped up by Millwall fans, and the Lion King Stadium was completely turned into a blue sea today, and the terrifying home atmosphere was still the same, with a huge portrait of the star fluttering in the stands, and even a fan organization specially painted a self-made Q version of the banner.
That banner was the focus of the live camera.
The content on the banner is simply a roadmap for the completion of the cartoon RPG game.
The cute blue lion cub made his way from the starting point, destroying the Portuguese dragon, the Apennine zebra, the Lisbon lion and the German chariot along the way. Conquer the Star-Moon Hell. Sweep the Catalan army. And now stepping on the corpse of the white giant, the little blue lion has only one last stop left in front of him, and above the name of Glasgow, there is a European Champions Cup.
"Hehe, it seems that Millwall's fans are already giving advice to the club, Millwall has released three promotional videos to qualify for the Champions League final, which is talked about, especially by many children. Now Millwall fans are taking the initiative to hand-draw Millwall's promotion for this season in the stands, which is amazing! ”
The banner also bears the headline: Road to Glasgow Championships!
After Aldridge entered the stadium, he also found this ingenious banner in the stands, which made him smile, this is fan culture, which is both infectious and publicized, and most importantly, the fan organization that makes the zuò banner must make the banner with pleasure, and then share the happiness to other Lions fans.
Aldrich walked over and shook Bosque's hand. After a few words of greeting, he walked back to the home team's coach's box, the current environment. It was not appropriate for him to talk too much with Bosque, who was in a situation that could be described as embattled.
Real Madrid is almost impossible to defend the league title this season, and the first game of the Champions League semi-finals suffered a heavy defeat, and even the Spanish media, the side against Real Madrid will use shame to describe it, of course, the cause is also after the Barcelona fiasco, the newspapers inclined to Madrid are all sneering.
With such a heavy defeat, someone must take responsibility, not to mention that Florentino himself does not look down on Bosque.
On this cusp, Real Madrid's stars are unable to protect themselves, so naturally they can't stand up and say justice for Bosque.
The players from both sides began to enter, and the Real Madrid players had a sense of tragedy and immediacy that they were going to die, and before the game started, many players frowned together, feeling strange in Aldridge's eyes.
It seems that they really want to create a kind of anti-guest majestic momentum, but when they step into the Lion King Stadium, their eyes are full of blue, and they are surrounded by tens of thousands of fans of the wild lions, and their momentum cannot be raised.
Millwall are 5-3 ahead of Real Madrid, football is full of unpredictable factors, Millwall have never lost at the Lion King Stadium, but Real Madrid is the team with the best ability to rewrite this history, so this game is still worth looking forward to, let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides.
Millwall has a heavyweight star who cannot play in this game, Ronaldinho is absent due to injury, and now he is sitting in the VIP box, with a stern look, surprisingly, Hall actually replaced Ronaldinho with Ronaldinho's Brazilian compatriot, the young Kaka, which is a heavy difference from many media's pre-match predictions that Klose will start.
Millwall started 442.
Goalkeeper: Bout.
Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.
Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved, Kaka.
Forwards: Thierry Henry, Larsson.
Real Madrid's starting lineup for this game also had two personnel changes from the previous game, Pavon, who scored the lowest score of the game in the last game, was put on the bench, replaced by Solari, and goalkeeper Casillas was also on the bench because he conceded five goals in the last game, and he was replaced by 31-year-old veteran goalkeeper Cesar.
Real Madrid started 442.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
Defenders: Salgado, Hierro, Elguera, Carlos.
Midfielders: Solari, Makelele, Zidane, Figo.
Forwards: Raul, Morientes.
Both teams have changed from the last starter, and Millwall has even changed the formation, which may make the game unfold beyond our expectations, and next, let's enjoy the super duel between the two giants, a battle of life and death! ”
Aldridge saw Real Madrid's starting list and pondered it for a while.
Elgra withdrew to play centre-back and did not dare to trust Pavon anymore, which was predictable.
And Solari in the midfield, biased towards attack, representing Real Madrid to fight to the death away from home, is not too unexpected.
As for what kind of effect Solari could bring, Aldrich suddenly remembered something.
In the original history, the period of Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid was at the peak of Barcelona's domination of the Europa, at that time, few people would argue about who was stronger Ronaldo or Messi, and even Real Madrid fans would say something like this: If Ronaldo's passing can be half as efficient as Solari, then Ronaldo may be able to call Messi in La Liga.
These words must be too one-sided, not to mention that the defensive pressure suffered by Solari and Ronaldo's activity area is completely different, but Solari has not reached the height of Ronaldo's fame, so it is impossible to be limited by each opponent's focus on research and targeting, secondly, Messi is indeed the king of the entire European football in that period, but passing is only a technology, and the best may not be able to become the king, otherwise how can Messi be alone in the national team?
However, the remarks show the threat of Solari in the midfield area and some of his characteristics.
Aldridge was not too worried after thinking about it, if Solari could really catalyze the whole team of Real Madrid, then Solari's fame should be even greater. (To be continued......)
