789 A heavy price
The moment the referee pulled out the red card, Aldridge's mind flashed many dusty images and stories that were actually born on the green field, although some of those pictures and stories were not born in the world he is experiencing now, and some may never be born again.
These images will make him angry, and he will want to yell at Southgate: You fool! Idiot! How about letting Raul go it alone? We have a total lead of 5 goals! What are you afraid of if you lose one?!
In the summer of O2 in Asia, Ballack burst into tears in the dressing room after the semi-finals and will miss out on the World Cup final.
In the Apennines in O3, Nedved fell to his knees with his hands in his hands, and after missing the Champions League final, he cried alone in the stands at Old Trafford.
In 12 years, the Chelsea players reached out to cover the referee's hand, but still could not save the cruel decision of Ivanovic to miss the Champions League final, and Ivanovic's reaction at that time seemed unreal, because you can't imagine the madness of the iron man Ivan looked helpless and depressed, as if he was isolated by the whole world
Maybe the tens of thousands of Lions fans in the stands of the Lion King Stadium also thought of this, they regretted Southgate, and there will be many people who think the same as Aldridge at this moment: This foul, that action, it's really not worth it!
But when Aldridge saw Southgate holding the ball outside the box where he had fouled him, he dismissed the thought in his head.
Off the pitch, the manager can calm down and think deeply, and the fans in the stands can chat and yawn, but the players in the stadium, they don't have that space. Moment of truth. Who could have calculated so carefully? If you have the kung fu to think. Go and give yourself a mental step to relax, then, can you stand on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals, the battle of the century? You may have been reduced to mediocrity in the first 1oo games of your career, because others are fighting and you are always thinking, football needs to think, but it needs to be instinctive.
Aldrich calmed down. It can only be said that Southgate paid the price for the team's defense, in terms of decision, whether to let the opponent play a single knife or his own foul, Southgate chose the latter, although both have the possibility of luck, such as Raul single-handedly flying, Southgate's foul was not revealed, but at the moment it is realistic that Millwall has not conceded the goal.
Real Madrid's pressure on the referee had no effect, and the referee immediately went to give Southgate a red card and did not point to the penalty spot. The penalty is very precise. There was no wrong red card, and there was no wrong with a free-kick from outside the box.
Millwall set up the human wall, Real Madrid's Zidane stood in front of the ball, and then dangled a shot, and Carlos behind him bombarded the goal!
Unfortunately, the ball didn't hit the goal range and went wide of the post.
At this point, Millwall made a substitution.
Metzelder replaced Kaka and the rest of Millwall's substitutes went to warm up, but Aldridge won't rush to put players on until the warm-up is complete.
Kaka came off the pitch to a round of applause from the home fans.
The shape of the game is abruptly reversed from now on, and Real Madrid have found the right tactics for this game against Millwall, and at the same time, Millwall are now playing one less, one less than their opponents at this level, and the situation will be very different.
Real Madrid finally showed the demeanor of the white giant in the last 3o minutes of the battle of the century, suppressing Millwall to start a wild attack, they made full use of the field space to organize the attack, the combination of the side and the center, and the front and back were very well interspersed.
Millwall had to rely on more hard running and scrambling to make up for the numerical disadvantage.
Eight minutes later, Nedved was injured after running back to the side and making a flying tackle to block Figonetche's successful defense!
"There is less and less time left for Real Madrid, the score is too big to fall behind! 5 balls, there are still about 2o minutes to give them, but the shape on the field is getting more and more beneficial to them, Millwall plays one less, and now Nedved is injured again, Hall stands on the sidelines with a solemn face, it is obvious that even if he advances to the final, Millwall will pay too heavy a price! â
Aldridge felt remorse and remorse, perhaps because of the comfort brought about by the lead, which made him not think deeply.
He kept Pirlo, in fact, he wanted to play a counterattack with Pirlo to move accurate long passes, but Pirlo's defense and degree are hidden dangers, which requires Gattuso and Nedved around him to pay more.
There was nothing to hesitate at this point, and Millwall made another substitution, using up the last two substitutions.
Alonso came on to replace Andrea Pirlo.
Pedreti comes on to replace Nedved.
In the 74th minute, Real Madrid played a tactical corner kick back to the top of the penalty area, and then Zidane sent a fatal kick straight to the other side of the counter-cutting line, Morientes swept the ball in front of the goal, and Elgra sent the ball into the goal from the middle.
"Real Madrid finally scored their first goal on the road, 3-1, 8-4 on aggregate, leaving them with 15 minutes left and the gap became four."
Perhaps it was a hard-fought goal on the road that boosted Real Madrid's morale, and when Millwall restarted, they pounced like wolves and couldn't breathe.
There will always be miracles on the field, Manchester United only needs 2 minutes to create a miracle, Millwall has also tried several times to make history at the last minute, Real Madrid has 15 minutes, not counting injury time, is it enough? Isn't it enough?
The defensive pressure on Millwall in the last 3o minutes should be the biggest moment since Aldridge took charge! Not one of them!
The players on the field were defending the goal, and at this time, not only the players, but also the fans in the stands understood that Millwall could not think about the lead, and could not think about killing time to definitely enter the final, otherwise, the goals conceded would be one after another.
Playing with a fierce defence, Millwall found a great counter-attack in the 81st minute.
Larsson had withdrawn to half-time to play the role of wing-back, Alonso was on foot with Elgra when he organized an attack, fortunately he won, Elgra failed to make a successful tackle in the counter-attack, this was his fourth consecutive counter-attack, the fourth, finally failed, Millwall had a chance to counterattack, Alonso endured a foot pain, just a 35-yard pass, but let him concentrate on not daring to be careless.
He passed the ball to Larsson on the wing.
On Larsson's side, Carlos rushed up to assist, and at this moment, Carlos's return to defense also began to decline, Larsson began to drive straight into the ball with the ball, and Makelele, who was parallel to him, was actively returning to defense, Millwall 2vs3.
As Claude Makelle was about to collide with Larsson, Larsson handed the ball to Thierry Henry, who was pulled to the left in front of the box.
Henry got the ball, and also tried his best to balance his body, using the sense of rhythm in the dribbling to deceive Hierro and Karanka, his non-fancy dribbling and breakthrough skills, at this moment played a huge role, slow, fast, slow, after three rhythm changes, Hierro's center of gravity was deceived, there was a gap between Kalanka and him, Henry tried his last bit of strength to explode, and rushed between the two, Karanka's physical fitness was fine, Henry just had a shooting angle in the past, so he no longer hesitated, and shot that, Henry did it in a fall-down strafing motion.
The ball didn't roll quickly against the turf towards Real Madrid's goal.
Cesar immediately moved to the left side of the goal, but the ball that didn't seem to be fast rolled towards the goal at a very tricky angle, and Cesar tried his best to save it, but he still couldn't touch the ball when he saved, even if his fingertips touched it slightly, maybe it could save the goal!
Because the ball slammed, hit the inside of the goal post and came to a stop in the goal line
"Henry! The next level of killers! Millwall leads 4:1 and leads Real Madrid 9:4 on aggregate! Now, there should be no suspense in the game, there should be no more, there should be no more. â
In the battle of other teams, with a 2-3 goal lead, even if there are 3o minutes left in the game, it is basically announced that the lead side has locked the victory, but when Millwall and Real Madrid are 4 goals apart, the commentators do not dare to make a conclusion and pronounce the death sentence of Real Madrid.
The stands at the Lion King Stadium erupted in even louder cheers.
It's not easy to score, it's too hard!
Henry didn't get up when he fell to the ground after the shot, he didn't show any pain, he just calmly made a substitution gesture towards the coach's box, but after doing this gesture, he thought in hindsight: there are no substitutions.
He felt pain in his ankle, it should have been twisted when the shot was struck, he intended to sweep vigorously and shoot with power, but the touch was incomplete, and part of the force was kicked to the turf, although it became a boccia ball and scored, but the ankle was indeed slightly injured, and his self-perception knew that the injury was not serious, but he definitely couldn't continue the game.
Aldridge still asked the team doctor to rush over and explained: take him off the field.
Two team doctors went over to check on Thierry Henry's injuries, and the Real Madrid players surprisingly did not rush it, but the referee walked over and ordered them to go off the pitch.
Real Madrid were on the verge of a miracle comeback, but Thierry Henry scored another goal that seemed to give them a complete nervous breakdown.
Taking advantage of the opponent's penalty, he pulled a goal back, and then was hit again, with less than 1o minutes left, Real Madrid has to score 5 goals to advance, where can this create a zĂ o miracle? This is a desperate situation that even God cannot reverse.
"There was a round of applause, Henry couldn't keep the game going, Millwall didn't have any substitutions, and now Millwall has two fewer than Real Madrid!"
The more this time, the more the need for fans to play the role of the 12th, in the Lion King Stadium, the loud singing of the Lions fans lingers in the sky, whenever the Millwall players touch the ball, the scene will remember the sound of coaxing, Aldridge took off his suit, and constantly signaled to the fans in the stands to be louder!
