The Young Lion

Thanks for the tip of Hey, the first fan of this book was born.

———————————————————

Xiulian United played high and high as always, but their forwards were obviously a little discouraged. They couldn't get a header in front of the tall Stam, and they would always be intercepted by Makelele. In addition, Southgate's stable It showed that the opponent's two forwards became more and more frustrated as they played, and became more and more lost inside and outside the Millwall penalty area.

The offensive player on the left side was about to pass a high ball into the penalty area again, but he chose to make a low pass. Unfortunately, Thuram stretched his foot and broke it during the breakthrough. The player fell directly on the turf, and the football remained Thuram stepped behind him.

Peter shouted excitedly into the field: WTF! That's an obvious foul! He-fucking foul!

But the referee on the field didn't say anything, and didn't even bother to wave for the players of Xiu'an United to stand up. The fans in the stands applauded and yelled excitedly.

Thuram didn't dribble after stealing the ball, and passed the ball directly to the feet of Makelele, who was closest to him. After receiving the ball, Makelele also distributed the ball before the opponent's forward retreated to harass him.

Nedved received the ball in the middle circle, followed by a long pass to Pires on the left.

Pires is still approaching from the wing to the center, and five meters away, the defensive players of Xiulian are ready to stick up to steal or interfere with his long-range shots.

Pires is very calm. Not long ago, the head coach made a gesture on the sidelines and 30 minutes into the game. At this time, his role has changed.

Aldridge's tactical arrangement yesterday clearly echoed in his mind: the long-range shot in the first 30 minutes will force the opponent's defenders to come out of the penalty area. Always be ready for offside, Robert, you and Bernd put the ball straight into the box!

Pires only observed the position of the Xiu'an United defense line and found in surprise: Aldrich really hit the mark!

The opponent's defense has left the penalty area, just to reduce the threat of Millwall's long-range shots. At the same time, there is a large space behind the defenders.

Without hesitation, Pires kicked the ball straight to the area behind the opponent's center back and full back.

The speed of this through ball was not fast, but it was extremely precise. At the same time as Pires passed the ball, Larsson turned and sprinted from the central defender defending him!

The defenders of Xiulian United have been used to the long-range shots from Millwall's offensive players in the first 30 minutes. They never expected that this time, the opponent would hit behind them. Surprisingly!

The central defender reacted and chased after him, but the distance between him and Larson was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't even give him a chance to stretch out his hand!

Larson succeeded in anti-offside and went to the meeting alone!

All the fans couldn't help standing up, and all eyes focused on Larson's figure.

Aldridge watched this attack from the sidelines, his heartbeat couldn't help speeding up, and even his hands began to tremble. His previous calm expression was swept away, replaced by eager hope.

Kick it in, kick it in, kick it in!

Kick that damn ball in for me!

Aldrich shouted in his heart, but his throat seemed to be dry and smoking, and he couldn't say anything, he could only pant heavily with his mouth slightly open.

The goalkeeper of Xiu Allen United did not expect to meet Millwall's long-range shots all the way in the first half,

But now he suddenly faced a single-handed ball.

The goalkeeper did not attack, and stood in front of the goal line and slowly pressed forward to expand the defensive area, trying to reduce Larson's shooting angle.

Larson caught up with the ball when he just entered the penalty area. He did not stop the ball, did not hesitate, adjusted his steps along the direction of the ball rolling, and then lightly used the ball on the left side of the ball with his right foot rub it!

The goalkeeper of Xiu'an United did the most basic performance of a goalkeeper facing a single-handed ball. He blocked the near corner of the goal and threw his body horizontally to the right. However, after the throw, he turned his head and looked behind him unwillingly. , still expecting the ball not to roll into the goal with desperate eyes.

However, the ball shot by Larson lightly crossed a not very large arc. The ball entered the goal steadily from the far corner of the goal, spun a few times on the net and then stopped, quietly stopping at the goal Inside!

The Lion's Den stadium boiled instantly!

The fans in the stands raised their arms and jumped up and down, laughing and cheering like children. After Larson scored a goal, he ran along the baseline to the corner flag. Wherever he passed, there was a wave of people in the nearby stands!

The Millwall players ran up to Larsson to celebrate with him, and they turned towards the stands, where they were amazed to see that there were many fans in the stands holding up signs with their names in different languages ​​​​in support.

Millwall fans, who are notorious for football vagrancy, instantly become cute in their eyes.

It was only the first game, but a large number of fans got to know them, knew their nationalities, and used their native language to express their inner support, which made them feel warm here quickly.

Aldridge on the sidelines jumped up excitedly after witnessing the goal, and kept waving his fists in front of him. After he turned around, Jensen and other coaches also left their seats and came up to hug Aldridge. , They laughed, they jumped, celebrating Millwall's first official game goal this season, and also Aldridge's first official game goal after taking charge of the team!

After the excitement, Aldridge returned to the side of the court again. He applauded the players to encourage them, and then made a gesture of pressing down with both hands to keep the players awake and not get carried away.

In the end, he put his hands around his mouth like a trumpet and shouted towards the field: Kick how you want and keep kicking!

With this goal, the players on the field have begun to officially change their hearts towards Aldridge.

The 18-year-old head coach on the sidelines is not only a strict teacher who supervises them in training, a good friend in guiding and communicating, but also a coach who can make them score goals and lead to victory!

Peter blushed and babbled at the assistant referee, always firmly believing that Thuram's stealing the ball from Xiulian's attack was a foul. If the referee made a penalty, there would be no subsequent counterattack to lose the ball.

After calming down his excitement, Aldridge put his hands back into the pockets of his trousers, recalling the beautiful goal just now, and he praised Larson in his heart.

The Swedish striker's shooting skills are full of praise, especially he is a striker who can score goals with head kicks, and his shooting skills have never been known for his strength, but his calmness and dexterity when shooting, often in the penalty area There is no extra movement, the shot is not powerful but the angle is extremely tricky, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.

The goal just now is a typical one. He kept the ball inside the penalty area and rubbed the far corner lightly. Shines in elegant colours.

After Xiu'an United conceded the goal, the whole team showed frustration.

Perhaps in their view, in the first 30 minutes of the game, Millwall had no threat other than a few long-range shots from outside the penalty area, and they were able to let the football fly over the opponent's half and even the penalty area, but the goal was lost. But they are the one with the upper hand.

This dealt a big blow to the team, and Peter shouted angrily on the sidelines for the players to launch a more violent attack.

After being reminded by Aldridge, the Millwall players did not get carried away and continued to play in their previous solid defensive posture.

The impetuous offensive of Xiu'an United did not achieve results, and still did not organize an attack that threatened Millwall's goal. On the contrary, Millwall's offensive became more and more impressive.

At the end of the first half, Millwall's offense got closer to the opponent's penalty area, and David Trezeguet started the counterattack too early because of his eagerness to make contributions. I am afraid he will also get a chance for a one-handed goal.

Just in stoppage time in the first half, Pires shot from outside the penalty area was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Millwall won a corner kick.

The corner kick was taken by Schneider, who has good footwork. As the best player in this generation of German players, Schneider's crossing and set-piece skills are outstanding.

Millwall's set-piece tactics were designed by Aldridge in the past half a month of training, because there are too many players with excellent headers in the team.

The two forwards, Larsson and Trezeguet, not only have excellent headers, but also have a very keen sense of smell to seize opportunities in the chaos of the penalty area. Nedved in the midfield is also a good header, and central defender Stam and For Southgate, and Thuram, who was born as a central defender, headers are naturally a housekeeping skill.

Makelele and Lucas-Neill stayed around the center circle for this corner to prevent counter-attacks, while Pires roamed the back of the penalty area and on the outside.

Southgate stands in front of the opponent's goalkeeper to form an oppression, Larsson and Stam are eager to try on the small penalty area line, Thuram interferes with the defensive line of sight from the front point, and Trezeguet stands softly in the middle, When the defensive players around him squeezed him, he just moved a step, without any intention of confrontation.

Schneider stood next to the corner flag, raised his hand and stretched out a fist. Seeing his gesture, Millwall's offensive players in the penalty area understood it, and then Schneider ran up and took a corner kick.

At the moment when the football flew out from the corner flag, Millwall's offensive players pressed towards the center without exception, which made the Xiu'an United players who defended them follow them reflexively. The group of players in the penalty area They all moved a step or two towards the far post, and a player ran out of the crowd, quickly made a detour from the crowd and grabbed the front of the near post!

The corner kick was extremely fast, but it was not high. After slightly crossing the heads of the defenders in front of Xiulian, it began to fall, and the landing point was the near post area of ​​the goal!

There, a bald player wearing a dark blue jersey and white shorts swung his head almost in a swooping posture against the falling football!

Less than two meters away from the goal, the ball was redirected by the header and flew directly into the goal of Xiu'an United. The opponent's goalkeeper fell into the goal without even making a save!

The Lion's Den stadium is boiling again.

The player who rose from the ground was young David Trezeguet!

He kept staring at the goal of Xiulian United after he dived the header. When he saw the ball scored, he immediately got up from the ground, pointed at Schneider who took the corner kick with a surprised smile, and ran over to Schneider. Ned hugged him, and Pires, who rushed up from behind, jumped up directly on Trezeguet's shoulders, cheering with the fans who wanted to climb over the stands and enter the field.

Seeing this goal, Aldridge was even more pleasantly surprised, because it was not long before the stoppage time in the first half, and he was even thinking about the halftime lecture to the team in his mind, but he did not expect Trezeguet Also scored in the debut!

Listening to the tsunami-like cheers in the stadium, Aldridge waved his arms up as a matter of course, signaling for the fans to cheer louder.

Jansen looked at Aldridge's actions dumbfounded. They thought that this young coach should be cautious and trembling, but Aldridge in front of him didn't seem to have the slightest pressure.

Aldridge knows that the team is very young, and the players on the court need to cheer, be affirmed and recognized, which is crucial to their growth.

Therefore, he mobilized the atmosphere of the scene.

Applause, more enthusiastic!

Cheers, louder!
