The Young Lion

Larson stood up and walked to Henry with a smile. The two hooked each other's shoulders and walked in the direction of Zambrotta.

As a striker, scoring is the first task.

But no striker can guarantee goals in every game. The more top teams, the less able to rely on strikers. The distribution of goals is also a measure of a team’s offensive strength in a sense. A single scoring point is easy Targeted by opponents.

Larson and Henry encountered great difficulties in the two games against Valencia. The opponents compressed the space inside and outside the penalty area and closely marked them. The opportunities they could obtain were not great. The last time Henry swayed the goalkeeper And Larson’s penalty was the best opportunity. In this game, the best chance was the cross after Schneider’s anti-offside. Both of them were one step behind. Fortunately, teammates made up for their missed opportunity. Otherwise, if the team fails to advance, they must be guilty.

After the reversal of the goal appeared, Cooper and Valencia team players have similar expressions, unwilling!

Nearly 180 minutes of hard work, blink of an eye!

Cooper was about to transfer his troops immediately, but when he turned to the bench, he saw an incredible scene.

Not far away, in front of the coach of the home team, the famous young coach in Europe has already pulled the two players in the assignment after playing.

Players on the court are still celebrating. What did Audric do since the goal appeared?

He didn't even celebrate!

Instead, he turned his head directly to call back the players who were warming up, and even screamed!

Pedretti and Neal almost ran to join in the celebration, almost returned by Aldridge's roar.

While the team was celebrating, Aldridge was already preparing for the substitutions to adjust tactics.

Cooper, when he lost to Aldridge last year, he was unwilling!

But when he saw this scene, he understood that the opponent's success was not accidental. Millwall was so long behind. Aldridge did not show any anxiety on the sidelines. After losing the first round, he shifted the attention of the outside world to the team. Protection, substitutions, etc.

For the second year in a row, Cooper rose from the bottom of his heart.

In the position of the head coach, it is not necessarily a strong card that must be strong. Cooper also led Valencia to defeat too many teams that are more powerful than their lineup. Real Madrid and Barcelona in the same league have also become his defeaters. .

But against Millwall, if it wasn’t Valencia’s good luck, it had already been used as a sieve. Only those first post beams in the first round, shot half of the goal, Valencia lost.

Nearly 180 minutes of game time, Valencia could not compete with Millwall on the scene, relying on shaking Europe's defensive counterattack, 99% is pure defense, and the threat of counterattack can not be discussed.

Cooper shook his head, leaving behind the misunderstanding.

There is still time, and Valencia still has room for a miracle! Certainly!

Aldridge will be replaced soon. It should have been Valencia's immediate adjustment. As a result, he was one step ahead of his opponent!

Cooper immediately sent Zahović and Karu to the sidelines to prepare for the game.

Karu increased the high point of the strike. Zahovic is a talented player emerging in Slovenia in recent years. Unfortunately, this person likes to make conflicts, so he can’t appreciate and reuse it, but now he has to use it. There must be some technical skills. It depends on whether it can be so. Rescued the team in adversity.

When Millwall's celebration ended, the two teams on the sidelines were replaced at the same time.

"After Millwall changed the total score to 3:2, Millwall and Valencia made substitutions at the same time. Both sides used the last two substitutions. Millwall sent Neil and Pedretti. , The end is Ronaldinho and Pirlo. Valencia withdrew bilateral guards Kaboni and Angloma, replaced by Zahovic and Caru."

Ronaldinho and Pirlo received thunderous cheers and applause from the audience.

Aldridge also greeted the end of the two with applause, celebrating with the two high-five.

Previously, Materazzi was removed, and now Neal went up to hit the defender.

Pedretti succeeded Pirlo, partnered with Gattuso and doubled the midfielder. Nedved retreated from the front midfield with a formation of 451. Henry played with Larson and Klose topped the center position.

Valencia's side was previously a 5 guard, and now two 36-year-old wing veterans have been removed and two forwards have been replaced to exclude the defender line. In fact, the midfield and frontcourt is at 222. In the midfield, Gonzalez and Mendieta were on the side, and Karu and Zahović were two forwards. Due to the fact that they were sent off, the formation change was actually a lack of a guard.

The time has come to the 84th minute of the game, but Valencia has not made a big attack since the kick-off, and Millwall does not use high-pressure forcing tactics at this time. It is too risky, especially when the opponent has changed to two. The famous forwards have plenty of impact, but they don't shrink their defense, they just shift their defense a little later on a balanced basis.

Valencia is a good counterattack, but now is a positional battle, they patiently pass the ball and try to find Millwall's weak defense.

They dare not lose the ball easily.

Millwall's defense is in place, especially now that he is fighting one more person and is also out of the double back to ensure the defense.

Valencia attacking players gritted their teeth at the opponent's impenetrable defense line, trying to penetrate the ground and couldn't find the spot. The defensive position of the opponent's cutting offensive formation can be incorporated into the textbook as a model!

Finally, what can be done?

The more the ball falls, the smaller the space, but the more and more anxious.

Time is not waiting for anyone, it is passing by every minute.

Mendieta tried to break Zambrotta on the wing and nearly lost the ball. Zambrotta was annoyed by his defense.

He broke the ball when the opponent broke through and saw that he was about to grab the ball, but the action of stopping the ball hit the ball out of bounds.

After Valencia took the throw-in, he moved the ball to the other side, and Gonzalez could not find the spot.

Nedved stuck to his side to stop him from contacting Albelda in the middle. Pedretti stared at Zahović again. There was only one outing point, which was passed back to the defender, and he had to cross the pull. Nelson!

Gonzalez had no choice but to see Schneider lowering the center of gravity and stepping inside, he could only pass the ball to find the high point Caru in the penalty area.

Valencia had good luck in these two games. The last game had a magical power to protect the city gates. There was another Gattuso oolong gift in this game. Gonzalez hopes that at this time, luck can stand in Valencia again. This side of West Asia, so that his foot pass can evolve into a lore!

After the ball was kicked out, Gonzalez was full of expectations and felt that the quality of the ball was extremely high!

However, when he saw Neil grabbed the landing point and took Caru's body up to take the ball away, he gritted his teeth unwillingly.

Neal's header was not far from the ball and fell on Gattuso's feet.

Nedved ran forward, Albelda stared close, Gattuso was unharassed, looked up calmly for a second, and then passed the ball directly to the left.

Henry at the center of the left lane waited for the ball to reach the foot and moved forward, immediately started the explosion, the instantaneous speed increased to the fastest, and the wind and the ground took the lead to kill.

The mad lion fans in the stands roared, screamed, and unmatched passion broke out.

"Tieri, rush!"

Although the game came to the final period, Henry rarely went back to participate in the defense. The physical condition is good, and it is no problem to accelerate the sprint in the halftime!

With the bleaching stands, the live broadcast camera moved forward quickly, and even the audience in front of the TV had an illusion: Henry, is driving the entire stadium to move!

Baraja’s position was not close to Henry when he turned from attack to defense. After Henry started to accelerate, he obviously couldn’t catch up after chasing back. Even when Henry came to the forty yard line and started to walk inside, Baraja still Three meters behind Henry.

Ayala, Jukić, Pellegrino, three people lined up, facing three Millwall forwards, Henry with the ball, Klose in the middle, followed inwardly on the right Larson.

Henry suddenly split the ball in front of Ayala, Klose deliberately rushed forward and then stopped, opened the distance from Jiukic, then took the ball, Jiukic rushed up again, late!

Klose slanted to the right and Larson sprang from behind Pellegrino, kicking an external half-height pass before the baseline.

Henry inserted the ball from behind and crossed Ayala to the left of the goal midway.

Larson's half-height ball is for Henry!

Although the timing of the pass was not perfect, the ball's outward rotation trajectory prevented Henry from stopping the ball. He was too fast, but Henry did not miss this opportunity.

His body leaped sideways, his right leg stretched out, and his foot stretched straight towards the ball.

Volley shot!

Cooper closed his eyes in despair on the sidelines.

Completely over!

boom!

The Lion King Stadium screamed, everyone opened their eyes to witness Henry’s unstoppable volley shots sent the ball into the gate, Canizares just made a subconscious save, did not guess the direction of the ball at all, the dramatic thing is, if Canizares stood still, maybe his shoulder could block the ball.

"Super perfect volley shot! Henry scored Millwall's fourth goal of the game. Now Millwall leads Valencia with a total score of 4:2. There should be no suspense. Henry shocked the goal. The ball ended the game! From the moment Henry touched the ball, Millwall's frontcourt offensive was 3 to 4 but Henry's dribbling attack threw off Baraja, then, 3 to 3, Henry, Klose , Larson, Millwall’s simple, effective and deadly cooperation easily destroyed Valencia’s defense!"

Henry climbed back from the ground and jogged backwards, his hands pointing at Larson and Klose respectively. After the two rushed over, all three fell to the ground. Then, Nedved also pressed up, Gatto. So, Zambrotta...

Aldridge was really afraid of Henry being crushed on the sidelines.

He exhaled deeply and raised his head to look over the court. The clear night sky made people feel comfortable. The road to defending the Champions League took another step forward.

The game has entered injury stoppage time, Valencia has completely lost its desire to attack. In this level of competition, the tactics of the sea of ​​people are not feasible. It is not that pressing everyone up can increase the offensive threat and attack and defense. They are really Dare to press it up, the back line will be faltered when it is hit back.

Limiting Millwall's offensive space is the focus of their efforts in the two games. The counter-attack lost the ball has just told them clearly how terrible the power will be when Millwall has the offensive space, even if it is 3 to 3 and the number is balanced. Wall can still play the destructive power.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Valencia players retired with frustration, the Millwall team went into the field to celebrate each other and advance to the semifinals, but also to thank the fans, without these loyalty, cute, and even scary The fans of today have created a great deterrent cheer, perhaps Valencia's game pressure is not so great yet.

Aldridge walked to Cooper, shaking hands with the other party solemnly, without any bullying.

Every top-level contest is a test of tempering Millwall, and a valuable opportunity for Aldridge’s own rich coaching experience. He respects every opponent and thanks every hostile coach. Appreciation will not change.
