509 Fight for selfish desires
Thanks to "Dead Thieves", "Shimazu", and "Raibari" for their tips! ——
On the eve of the European Champions Cup final, Evan took Rosie to Paris, shopping on Boulevard Haussmann, frantically showing off a woman's nature, and going for beauty in the evening.
Women, there are a lot of clothes, but I always feel that there are no clothes to wear, the figure is already very good, but I still feel imperfect, whether the face is ugly or beautiful, in short, it is not beautiful enough in my eyes.
The day after winning the FA Cup, Millwall flew to Paris with the whole team, and there were three days left before the final, one day of rest, one day of preparation, and the last day, a decisive battle!
When he was about to step into the Champions League final for the second time, Aldridge was a lot easier, the team has played a lot of finals over the years, the championship is soft, the players regardless of age, at least the mentality can calmly cope with the tension and pressure on the eve of the big game, the team has been preparing for the game since arriving in Paris, and there is no trouble.
Media from all over Europe flocked to the press conference, and Aldridge spoke eloquently and without pressure at the pre-match press conference for the Champions League final.
"Of course, of course we are here for the trophy and no one will be satisfied with being runners-up until they reach the final. The Triple Crown? We've had trebles before, and if we can replicate it this year, it's even bigger than last time, and my players are ready for it. ”
When asked about the impact of Klose and Makelele's absence on the team, Aldridge also admitted: "The absence of Makelele has a big impact on the team, I wouldn't deny that. But I think Gattuso had his moment. Withstand the pressure. If he plays at the level he deserves, then he can make an unparalleled contribution to the team and I trust him and his team-mates trust him. Klose was injured a few days ago and couldn't get on the bench, which is a big loss for us and he's frustrated. I comforted him and told him that he was still young and that he would have chances in the future because we are a strong team and as for this game, in the bench we have Glen Schal, Ramour, Villa three players who can play as strikers and I think we can cope with all the difficulties that arise in the game. ”
When talking about the opponent Valencia. Aldrich was in good spirits and said with a smile: "It's the final." I don't think it matters who the favourites are, after 90 or 120 minutes, the winner is the strong and the loser is the weak, Valencia didn't get to the final by luck, and they looked much easier than we did to get to the final, we fought Real Madrid for 180 minutes over two legs, they ended the suspense at home in the first leg with a score of 4:1 against Barcelona, a team that performed better than Real Madrid in the league. Valencia has a lot of good players, Mendieta, Gerrard, López, etc., and a good manager, if Millwall takes it lightly in the final and Valencia ends up winning the cup, I don't think anyone will be surprised, of course, if we play badly, this season, I always believe that if Millwall can play to their full strength, we can win all the games, so our enemy is ourselves. ”
May 24th
Paris, Stade de France
Before the official start of this season's Champions League final, a series of theatrical performances will be held in the stadium for fans to enjoy.
When the show ended, the stadium quickly entered the atmosphere of a football match.
Today's atmosphere in the stadium is unprecedentedly warm, overlooking from the sky, it is particularly shocking, and it will surely become a classic scene in the Champions League final.
The turf of the course is divided into two, with the Lions emblem on the left and the Batforce team emblem on the right.
In the stands, the fans of the two sides made a visually stunning cheering effect.
In the stands, Millwall fans created a blue lion pattern from the colour of their jerseys, as if a wild lion had appeared in the stands.
On the other hand, Valencia fans have also created a giant bat motif, which symbolizes the patron saint of Valencia.
Not to be outdone, the two sides are fighting each other, and they use their own ways to create pressure on their opponents.
Aldridge waited in the dressing room for the players to clean up, and he said lightly: "This is the second time Millwall have reached the Champions League final in three years, it is the glory of the club and the glory of you, half of your players played in the final two years ago, some of you are in the Champions League final for the first time, I will not talk about making you fight for the fans, for the glory of the club, now, think more about yourself, winning, it is a great honour with two Champions League trophies in hand, maybe the first. But let you have a sense of hunger and thirst, think about your family, will be proud of you, think about your children, will be proud of your father in the future, this is your motivation, this is the determination you should have to defeat your opponents, let your name shine in European football, make your career more brilliant, let today, leave no regrets! ”
Aldridge then turned to leave, and the three captains who would start the game would inspire their team-mates in the dressing room, who had the experience and qualifications to win the title two years ago, and who could help some of the players who were playing in their first Champions League final, such as Thierry Henry, Gattuso, Ronaldo and others.
Aldridge, who is still in a suit today, walks slowly through the players' tunnel, where there are no players from either side except for the staff, and he does not make long speeches before the game, so he tends to appear on the pitch early, and today, it is no exception.
He doesn't want the final to bring the pre-match pattern that the well-organized team is already familiar with, which would only add unnecessary pressure to the team.
The hustle and bustle in the arena was audible, and Aldridge walked steadily, looking at the brighter light outside the players' tunnel, his expression was calm, not cold, not ostentatious, and not worried.
In the dressing room, he just told the truth, in a sense, what he thought from the bottom of his heart.
Football clubs have departed from the essence of public obligations of community public welfare organizations in the past, for the fans? For the club? A lot of times people in different football circles are just a slogan.
People are selfish, especially if they are profit-driven.
In those days, there was basically no difference between the income of playing football and being a miner. Playing football is certainly an honor. For the fans it is easy to generate team resonance.
But in the modern age. Who is immune to the temptation of fame and fortune?
For the sake of money, for the sake of personal fame, is this wrong? That's right, and the premise is to play the ball well, fame and fortune income are directly linked to the performance on the court.
Aldridge is not able to work with the drive to repay the support of the fans and the glory of the club in his mind.
At the age of 24, he stepped into the Champions League final for the second time. He was making history, a history that belonged to him, a legend that could be discussed for a long time even without Millwall.
At this time, he needs to be selfish and make the team selfish.
To win for yourself, for your selfish desires to win!
If people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, can they generate greater motivation for others?
There are such people, but Aldrich always thinks that such people are in the minority.
Walking out of the tunnel of the players, Aldridge made his way to the pitch. Stand still on the sidelines and look around the stadium with your head held high.
When he shows up on the sidelines. Hundreds of photographers surrounded him and began a long shooting.
The professional cameras were more like guns aimed at Aldrich.
Suddenly, with Aldrich as the center, the nearby flash lights were great.
Rosie, who was sitting with Evan in the stands, leaned over and looked down on the sidelines, and saw Aldrich being "besieged" by the camera, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
She couldn't understand how a man could be so sought after.
Maybe in her eyes, the reason should be that Aldrich is handsome.
"The 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League final is about to begin, and this year's two teams are Millwall from England and Valencia from Spain, both of which defeated Spain's two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona in the semi-finals. This was described as the pinnacle of offensive and defensive battles before the game, Cooper's Valencia took the defensive counterattack to the extreme, and Millwall under Hall's tutelage, this season is the most offensive firepower team in Europe, England's media declared before the game that today will be the second generation of Lions built by Hall to win the big day in Europe! That's right, compared to Millwall's starting lineup for the final two years ago, half of Millwall's personnel changes today, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Elgra, Capdevilla, Makelele, these people can't play for Millwall today, Makelele is because of suspension, and whether the second generation of the Lions represented by Ronaldinho and Henry can stand on the top of Europe, this game is a milestone! ”
Valencia coach Cooper walked onto the pitch as the game was about to start, Aldridge turned his head to look and saw that the opponent was walking towards him, so he greeted him, and the two managers parted after a few pleasantries, perhaps there was no chance to meet after the game.
Accompanied by the Champions League theme song, the players of both teams began to enter the stadium in high spirits.
"Now let's give you a look at the starting line-up for both sides, starting with Millwall, who today have a more complete line-up except for Claude Makelle's red card suspension.
Millwall, 433.
Goalkeeper: Bout.
Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.
Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.
Forwards: Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.
Valencia also have one of their main players out of the final due to suspension, and the absence of defender Carboni could have a huge impact on the backline.
Valencia started 442.
Goalkeeper: Canizares.
Defenders: Angeloma, Djukic, Pellegrino, Gerrardo.
Midfielders: Mendieta, Farinos, Gerrard, Kili Gonzalez.
Forwards: Angullo, Claudio López.
From the comparison of the lineups of the two teams, Valencia's disadvantages are not too obvious, especially their midfield combination, known as one of the best combinations in Europe, and Millwall's reasonable and well-organized midfield combination has both offense and defense, which is also well known, and the key trend of today's game, Valencia has to rely on the midfield, Millwall has a lot to rely on, which is why Millwall is recognized as the favorite to win the championship. ”
The Champions League theme song ended, and Millwall and Valencia kicked off on the pitch for kick-off.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed over his chest with a serious expression, and in the opening 10-20 minutes, he must carefully observe the situation on the field, which will be the key to the overall trend of the game, and also test the effectiveness of his tactical arrangements before the game.
