There wasn't much suspense in this UEFA Cup final.

There are no ups and downs in the development process.

The reason is that the difference in strength between the two teams is too big!

Although there are many, many underrated masters in the Porto squad, they are not very famous, but they have good strength.

However, compared with Millwall, as long as Millwall does not relax and does not relax, then Porto wants to turn over, and their comprehensive strength is not enough.

No Millwall player is willing to accept the end of a season with all four empty, Community Shield, Toyota Cup, Super Cup, this can be ignored, except for the League Cup, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and besides, as Aldridge inspired the players to say: Win the League Cup, you will help the club achieve the Grand Slam of honor!

In this way, Millwall's fighting spirit is beyond doubt.

Porto wanted to face Millwall at the top of their game, but unfortunately, what was presented to them was an unacceptable defeat.

When Ronaldo started to cut inside with the ball from the side of the midfield in the 37th minute, first got rid of Deco and Alenichev, and then made a smooth one-two cooperation with Nedved when facing Kostina, and finally in front of the defensive line, Henry and Larsson ran at the same time.

The fans, except for the Porto fans, gave a standing ovation and cheers, and many people found it incredible and incredible.

And Millwall fans know: the all-powerful elf king on the pitch is back!

Ronaldo danced samba on the sidelines. Aldridge laughed and the Millwall generals celebrated wildly.

Mourinho was expressionless on the sidelines, as if he had detached himself from reality. In the dead silence, gazing at a world of pale and dark on the pitch from afar.

Above board, upright, head-to-head.

This is what he has always believed in before the game, and he believes that he has worked hard and the whole team will be in charge. To be able to get this team to the top, the League Cup is not a big stage, but with Millwall as an opponent. Beating Millwall to win the trophy could be even more significant than winning the UEFA Cup!

However, the half-time game was not finished, and the team was already two goals behind.

The team he worked so hard to build was the result of a season and a half of hard work. A carefully crafted technical and tactical system. In front of Millwall, the wild lion, it seemed to be vulnerable.

In the blink of an eye, the ashes are gone!

Where did you lose?

Or what is it about Porto that is so good that it can gain an advantage against Millwall?

The individual ability of the players, not to mention the difficulty of competing with the frontal comparison, and the three-line duel, Porto has no advantage at all.

And the characteristics of the players. Millwall's players have the magic of unforeseen change.

Ronaldo, Henry. Nedved, Larsson, this magic is vividly reflected in them, although the power is different, but the effect of such changes, that is, unpredictability, is the biggest charm of offensive football on the field.

What are Porto's advantages in team skills and tactics?

Attacking from the wings?

Is it comparable to Millwall?

Even the full-backs assisted, Millwall's Schneider and Ashley Cole, and every impact brought a terrifying threat.

Attacking in the middle?

Does Porto have Deco?

Millwall have Nedved in front of them and Alonso in the back.

Team chemistry?

In some textbooks, what is the cliché of the team, which one can Porto surpass Millwall?

Of course, football is not about the strong winning the game, but after the competition, the winner is stronger!

However, the kind of thing where the weak counterattack is a minority after all, and that is called an unpopular.

Today, Millwall clearly refused to be upset by Porto!

Mourinho still stood on the sidelines, but in that black and white world, he was already huddled in a dark corner, thinking painfully.

As a coach, he can't have the same talent resources as Aldrich, besides, Millwall was once a dark horse, and he has created many miracles, because Millwall has created too many miracles, they, from penniless, to the world of giants, and then in the world of giants, standing on the pinnacle!

Of course Mourinho has the worthless courage that ordinary people talk about, but what is the price of integrity? Is this how to become a stepping stone to your opponents? Become a foil on the road to success for your opponents? And then, what will he get?

Tragic loser?

Respectable courage?

What's the point of that?

Except for the champion, ten years later, who will remember the loser of this moment? Who will continue to revere that ridiculous courage?

I'd rather live than die a heroic death!

This is a law of football survival, or, in the eyes of many, a philosophy.

If Aldridge doesn't have an innate advantage, and he enters the industry, he will put into practice what he has taught many young coaches, and more profoundly, the most basic survival.

Jose Mourinho replaced a striker just before half-time and deployed a double midfielder to strengthen the defence.

However, another problem arises, the hasty change of formation, Porto themselves can not switch well, they are familiar with the offensive system is missing one person, the original unsatisfactory attack, the back of the more chaotic and powerless.

Porto can't continue to defend, are the players on the pitch willing to lose the game?

In the second half, they strengthened the attack on the wings, and the middle was completely impenetrable!

Although Deco's speed is not particularly noticeably slow, but in terms of explosiveness, he is obviously not at the top, or even at the first-class level, so Porto's attack in the middle cannot raise the speed, if Deco dribbles the ball and is caught up by Nedved from behind, this scene will make people feel that Deco is slow and exaggerated.

Porto simply play on the wing, they will quickly be separated by Millwall's double midfielders plus full-backs to cover the defense, and their wide players do not have a particularly strong ability to attack alone.

In other words. Ronaldo, Henry, Larson. Being able to blow up the opponent's wing defense alone on the wing can not only shake off the opponent's returning fullbacks, but also break through the frontal defense of the opposing fullbacks, but Porto's full-backs turn around to play Millwall's Schneider and Ashley Cole, but it is difficult to do this.

Coupled with Deco's slow follow-up in the middle, their forwards are weak, and the combination of the side and the center cannot play well at all.

And tearing back and forth between defense and offense. They had their own confusion, which came from a loss of control of the rhythm, and the whole team was not in the same rhythm. There are flaws in the natural part.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Henry switched positions with Larsson, and once Schneider passed straight forward from the backfield, Henry switched positions back with Larsson in the process of dribbling forward. Completed a one-two with Larsson on the inside cut. Although the old and demonic Larsson's finishing ability has decreased a little, because of the decline in impact, he has better insight into the shape of the field, and his ability to do the ball has also been improved by the accumulation of rich experience, and he cleverly gave Henry a pick-up pass, and Henry directly threw off Coste and Carvalho when he entered the penalty area. After the ball bounces off the ground, before the second hit hits. He volleyed straight and cleanly blasted the ball into the Porto goal.

Mourinho held his head in his hands, as if in disbelief.

Stronger, stronger!

In his memory, Millwall, although he has the ability to cut freely, but the tacit understanding of Henry and Larson to switch positions back and forth directly makes the defenders panic, and the cooperation is very exquisite, based on individual ability, the group cooperation is interpreted to a height that ordinary teams cannot pursue at all, which is admirable and obsessive

Lost, defeated!

It will be the most memorable defeat of Mourinho's coaching career to date.

Because of him, there is no way, the shape on the field is out of control, and how to adjust it is pale and powerless.

If you want to say that you have encountered all kinds of ghosts and snakes in the European competition before, then in the League Cup final today, what he saw and what the team faced was a wild beast! Only the legends they had heard had survived, and they had never faced them personally!

Aldridge will not be complacent about beating Mourinho.

Millwall certainly wasn't surprised.

For the whole Millwall team, Porto is just one of the many opponents they have beaten and in a few days they will forget about it, only remember that day they won a trophy and remember the wonderful day.

Rival? Does it matter?

In their eyes, Porto is neither the top European powerhouse, nor does it have the historical glory or legend of European hegemons like Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich.

Why remember them?

Aldrich was proud, but he felt a little shameless.

Neither fear of Mourinho nor particularly excited by beating the opposition.

For him, in European football, there is no manager he has to challenge.

Now, he is guarding the country.

Someone else is going to challenge him!

Therefore, Mourinho may only be one of the strongest future challengers, but he has not reached a special position, because Aldridge is confident that he can beat all the challengers!

My five league titles, my four Champions League trophies, I didn't win them for nothing.

Aldridge has never published an autobiography, but his past and coaching career are naturally well-known to the outside world, and the story of traveling to Europe and visiting all corners of European football as a teenager is also familiar to Lions fans, and many people who are interested in Aldridge also know this, and this is part of the legend of this young coach.

Mourinho was originally just an outsider, with the mentality of learning from experience to understand Aldridge, but today's game, to be specific, was before the game, when Aldridge repeated the words in his ear, Mourinho's heart was unprecedentedly shaken.

Back then, as a translator, he was determined to make a difference in football.

Combined with the stories that circulated around Aldrich, he could guess that the young Aldrich must have traveled in Portugal, although Portugal is a small country, but Portuguese football has a certain weight in the European map, derived from the Portuguese football style.

And Aldridge, who was almost a tourist at that time, has become a legendary coach with a global reputation today, how can Mourinho be willing?

He remembered today's qiē, before the game, during the game, and, after the game, every detail, but as far as he could see with the naked eye, he would remember, and then digest this qiē, and think deeply, even if he will lose 10:0 today, he will not forget, he firmly believes that any setback is the best incentive for himself!

Aldridge warmed up with the substitutes when Thierry Henry scored the third goal, and as a manager, he had to get some of the players on the pitch to soak up the atmosphere or enjoy the game.

Today was undoubtedly a joy for many of Millwall's players and all the fans, in the final, 3-0 lead, the opponent Porto was beaten to the ground, the opponent obviously could not put on a miracle, the fans sang and danced in the stands, just waiting for the game to end, and then reveling.

The most important thing is that Yiqiē has returned to the rhythm they are familiar with, even if Aldridge does not steal the spotlight in this game, but his saving zài can make all Lions fans feel at ease that Yiqiē is in control.

However, there are people in the Millwall team who are not particularly happy.

For example, Frank Lampard and Klose in the warm-up. (To be continued......)
