The Young Lion

Elland Road Stadium, visiting team dressing room.

Ronaldinho has already left. In addition to being sent off with a red card, it is also related to his injury. The specific situation will not be concluded until several hours later.

Aldridge leaned against the door of the locker room with his arms crossed. He didn't say a word after returning to the locker room. As for morale, he didn't need to mobilize. He believed that every player felt the same as him.

There is anger in the silence.

As Ronaldinho's teammates, even Henry, who is also of black blood, did not want to comfort Ronaldinho.

If it is consolation, it will appear that Ronaldinho is fragile, and at the same time, he will deliberately magnify the black and white of his skin color.

Bowyer's kind of pathological lunatic, if he really takes him seriously, that's really flattering him.

Someone from the referee team came to inform that the game will resume.

The players in the locker room stood up with faces sinking like water, as if with a mighty fighting spirit invisibly, Aldridge spoke at this time.

All kinds of unexpected things happen in football games. Some of them are deliberately done by our opponents to distract us. Some of them are not. What we need to do is never forget the rules of the football field, the winner is king Whether it is to prove that you are stronger than your opponent, or simply want to teach your opponent a lesson, victory is the only way.

The game was interrupted for about 25 minutes. Now players from both sides returned to the field. Both Bowyer and Ronaldinho were sent off. Both teams played one player less, and neither side had any substitutions. The regular time of the game There's half an hour left, let's see what happens in that half hour, when the game resumes. Millwall gets a penalty. That's due to a foul on Ronaldinho in the penalty area by Bowyer before the break .”

The enthusiasm of the home team has faded in the stands of Elland Road Stadium. On the contrary, it was the Wild Lions fans of the visiting team who created cheers that reverberated across the stadium.

Players from both teams enter the field and take a penalty kick directly.

Leeds United players stood in a row outside the penalty area, and goalkeeper Martin stretched his body in the center of the goal.

Larson was about to go to take a penalty kick, but he was pulled by the arm, and he turned his head to see that it was the handsome young man Pirlo.

Pirlo said softly: Let me take this penalty, okay?

Larson nodded without hesitation.

Pirlo walked into the penalty area,

Reposition the balls again. Then take a few steps back.

Millwall suddenly changed the penalty shooter. Is it because Larsson missed the penalty kick against Valencia? Pirlo came to take the penalty kick.

Pirlo ran up, and the moment he touched the ball, Martin rushed to the right of the goal.

The ball jumped up slightly, drew a beautiful parabola right in the center of the goal and fell into the goal.

Elegant and light, just like Pirlo's chic style of play.

Spoon penalty kick! Pirlo scored the ball with a spoon penalty kick! A beautiful goal, but also a goal that hit the morale of Leeds United! Martin kicked the ball into the sky angrily, maybe he felt humiliated!

Not to mention goalkeeper Martin. Leeds United players on the field, fans in the stands. Everyone felt that this impeccable scoop penalty made Leeds United feel ashamed.

O'Reilly clapped his hands to boost morale of the players on the field, and conceded a penalty kick. This was something everyone realized before the game resumed.

However, no one expected Millwall to score the penalty in such a way.

Penalty kicks are originally a test of psychological quality, but being able to beat an opponent with a spoon penalty kick will imperceptibly blow the momentum, which represents one's own calmness.

Aldrich closed his eyes and remained expressionless. Originally, he and Leeds United were just a fair competition on the green field, but today's match, due to an accident, made the confrontation go beyond football itself. Millwall must win, and must win mercilessly. Defeat the opponent as a retaliation for the insulting words and actions of the other party.

This actually disrupted the rhythm of the game that Millwall is already familiar with. Playing away games in the Champions League is mainly cautious. In a 180-minute game, the first 45 minutes or even 90 minutes may be a stage of familiarizing opponents and restricting opponents. Minutes is to use force to defeat opponents on the basis of restrictions, especially in the knockout rounds of major competitions. The head coach's first consideration is not how to win the opponent, but how to be invincible.

Leeds United re-kick-off, Millwall's formation has not changed, but the lack of Ronaldinho, the wing gave way to Zambrotta, while Leeds United let Smith retreat to play the right midfielder, and the formation changed to 441.

Aldridge watched for 3 minutes and thought to himself: The semi-finals are over.

Regardless of the morale and strength of the two teams, O'Reilly's current adjustments are only satisfactory, and the threat that the offense can pose to Millwall is zero.

Cooper can carefully arrange the unilateral flying wing counterattack tactics and play a certain threat, but O'Reilly still considers the overall balance at a high level. Perhaps the so-called offensive and defensive balance in English football is deeply rooted.

Leeds United's 441, when they really attacked, there were only three people, Kewell, Smith, Viduka, the two midfielders were suppressed and couldn't go up. Although Ronaldinho was off, Nedved and Henry The threat of sidelines still cannot be ignored.

Leeds United can only invest three people in the offense. This is a reality, so the offense wants to create a threat. How these three people connect and how to form a team is the key. The position, the distance is too far, and after getting the ball, he fell into a solo fight and turned into a one-on-one with Millwall. At best, Viduka could pull the side to help, but the offense still did not improve.

10 vs 10, the numbers of the two teams are balanced, but after changing from 11 vs 11 to 10 vs 10, the field space remains the same. use.

In this way, Millwall is more offensive. The strong team is strong because it has many offensive methods and unpredictable offensive. One of the foundations is space. Therefore, the root of the weak team's bus restriction is space.

In the 69th minute of the game, the situation in the center and front field was still fierce, but Leeds United's center was suppressed, and the formation of troops to maintain the balance of the two sides actually weakened the center.

Southgate went all the way from the backcourt. Doesn't look back after taking the ball across the halfway line. Carry the ball forward. Cahill followed Pirlo closely, but Southgate easily came to Duckett's defense zone in front of the penalty area.

Duckett commanded the full-back to retract, and he stepped forward to intercept Southgate, but watched helplessly as Southgate passed the ball to Larsson, who was approaching the center from the right, and the latter met Nedved again. Do two-on-one cooperation, anti-offside entered from the ribs of the penalty area on the right, and after getting the ball, gently pushed the near corner from a small angle, and sent the ball into the goal from Martin's armpit.

Millwall scored another goal! Leeds United led 3-1 away. They almost entered the final with one foot! The tacit understanding between Dwyde and Larson for 7 years has allowed them to find each other with their eyes closed. Larson's calm push reflects his true qualities as a killer in front of goal. Now, Leeds United has really reached the edge of the cliff superior!

Larson didn't go to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring a goal. He turned around and pointed to the sky with one hand. He hugged his teammates coldly and walked towards the backcourt together.

The morale of Leeds United was completely crushed by this ball, and their fighting spirit was completely shattered.

O'Reilly tried to cheer up the team on the sidelines, but found that no players looked at him, his shouts, his body movements. Appears pale.

He turned around silently, walked back to the coach's bench and sat down.

it's over.

Leeds United's Champions League journey. stop here.

Even if they fell to the semi-finals of the Champions League, this should be a brilliant season.

No Leeds could be proud to end it the way it is now.

He looked to the other side, and Aldridge put his hands in his pockets, with the same indifferent expression, as if he was neither surprised by the goal nor felt much joy.

Millwall, known for its offense, has scored crazy goals, has it made people numb?

O'Reilly knew in his heart that the war between him and Aldridge could also be announced. If Leeds United lost, he also lost.

Even if Leeds United scored the equalizing goal before, in terms of the situation and the scene, it was not a problem for Millwall at all. In just a few minutes, Millwall was once again restricted by Millwall. The chill in O'Reilly's heart Sweeping the whole body.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought: I regard this as a war, a contest, but in Aldrich's mind, perhaps this battle between dragons and tigers has never even started!

The situation on the court, the tactical confrontation, the overall offensive and defensive state of the team, when Aldridge played against Ferguson, Wenger, Heynckes, Lippi, Del Bosque, Robson and other famous coaches, he had to rack his brains Thinking about contingency, desperate radical changes, but Millwall played Leeds United today, Aldridge never had the slightest nervousness, he didn't even need to use his brain, he just observed the game step by step, and made habitual countermeasures after knowing himself and the enemy. The adjustments, the games, are in Millwall's hands.

Bowyer fouled in the penalty area, and behind it was the collapse of the mental pressure of the Leeds United players in this dominant situation, losing their minds and being overwhelmed mentally.

Leeds United's momentum was sluggish, the morale of the army was broken, and they fell behind by two goals. After the re-kick-off, they seemed to be actively running and fighting, and they did not hesitate to attack physically, but in the eyes of Aldridge, it was just a group of chaotic soldiers.

The opponent's offensive and defensive system is out of the question, the defense is seriously out of position, the offense is chaotic and disorderly, Millwall pursues the victory, the more chaotic the opponent is, the more unconscious the head is, the more opportunities there are.

In the 75th minute, Henry took the sidelines and broke through Leeds United's disorderly defense layer by layer with his personal ability. After passing two people in a row, he succeeded in shooting from a 45-degree angle in the penalty area and expanded the score to 4:1.

The Leeds United players began to complain to each other, and then ignored each other with cold faces.

A large number of Leeds United fans in the stands were dejected and left the field silently.

Henry's goal made the suspense of the semi-finals disappear. Millwall led Leeds United 4-1 away. If the game ends with such a score, no one believes that Leeds United can win Millwall away by 3 goals. In Europe, I am afraid that no team can do this. With the strength of Leeds United, it is absolutely shocking to win Millwall by one goal in the away game. It is a miracle to win two goals. It is really possible to win three, unless Their players are possessed by gods!

O'Reilly saw the Leeds United fans leave the stands in an orderly and quiet manner, as if the white roses of Yorkshire were dying.

In two years, from budding to just showing the brilliance, it was short-lived and then withered quickly.

O'Reilly knew that the game was bound to be lost, and now, he just wanted to end in a decent way, at least not let the morale of the team be completely dissipated, and his efforts in the past three years would be in vain.

O'Reilly started to make substitutions, but he just called up three players, but he saw that Millwall made a substitution first. O'Reilly didn't know who would be replaced, but who would be replaced on the field would be Klose, he is already standing on the sidelines.

O'Reilly's face suddenly changed, a sense of helpless humiliation set him on fire, he turned his head to look at Aldrich, just in time, Aldrich also looked at him, O'Reilly met Aldrich's eyes, his whole body was cold . (to be continued...) ()
