The first edition of the Europa League did not go as expected, with Millwall and Arsenal finishing top of each group to advance to the knockout rounds. ∑

However, there were jaw-dropping results on the A-class side.

Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Juventus all failed in the group stage!

Of course, if you look at the teams that have advanced to the knockout rounds, this result is not too surprising.

Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea.

The top 8 are baked.

In the division draw, there is no circumvention principle, the first team in the group can touch the first in the group, and the team of the same country does not shy away.

No matter who touches anyone, this quarter-final will be a shocking battle to earn enough eyeballs!

With the fixtures streamlined down, in the second half of the season, the knockout rounds of the Europa League can focus on just one pinnacle match on matchday! Maximize the benefits! Maintain the continued attention of the outside world to the event.

It can be said that in addition to the winter break and the time before and after, in other competition periods, the first Europa League only looks at the benefits of the group stage, and the previous Champions League has been completed!

For these giants who have advanced to the knockout round, the challenge may not only be the difficulty of the knockout round.

It also includes those who have eliminated their rivals from the group stage, put pressure in the league, and want to get a ticket to next season's Europa League, the local league is guaranteed, although it is only a comparison of the rankings between club members within the league, such as England, if Bolton wins the league runner-up, but Bolton is not a member of the European elite league, they are also not eligible for tickets, even if Bolton apply to join. It will be another season at the earliest. But first. He had to be able to get guò approval.

Fleet Street is a big blow for the first Europa League!

Why?

O Prosperous Age!

Of the top 8 places, the British accounted for four!

Although the fate of Arsenal in the A-division may be similar to that of Liverpool, Arsenal also advanced in the B-level Saitong Guò in a thrilling battle.

It's a pity that three of the four English teams are in one and a half places!

There is no way, the probability of meeting itself is very high.

Moreover, this has at least secured an English team to the semi-finals.

One and a half districts are the top three in the English to encircle and suppress Inter Milan.

The other half is Millwall vs Bayern Munich, Barcelona vsanetbsp; The Millwall hierarchy actually has a very good relationship with the Bayern Munich hierarchy.

But in the mouths of the fans. This showdown is definitely a narrow road!

Not to mention the grievances between the two teams in the Champions League in the past, just look at the coach, Aldridge and Van Gaal also belonged to the "rivals" in the mouth of the media a long time ago.

End of February.

Millwall is a guest at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich is now also in the thick of their upward momentum.

In addition to the growth of German players such as Piggy and Bad Stubert, it also includes the top attacking combination after recruiting Ribery and Robben.

Millwall have had their share of wins and losses this season, with a lot of Europa League B competitions, and they lost the Carabao Cup early on home soil, mainly in league and European competitions. Fortunately, other competitors were too cruel in the early stage of the European competition, and the league record fluctuated greatly. Millwall have had their share of up-and-down, but relatively less volatile, more stable than other teams, and their advantage in the league is as clear as ever.

Led the fierce Lions to the Allianz Arena, Aldridge didn't take Van Gaal in the slightest!

You have Ribery and Robben, I have Messi and Netbsp; You have it, I'm better than you!

What you don't have, I have many, many more!

But it has to be said that Bayern Munich's arrival of Van Gaal after the failure of Klinsmann's reform last season marks the beginning of a return to the top ranks.

It's just that they're still on the way!

Far from the top.

Arjen Robben, Ribery, Olic played well at home, but the weakness of the midfield was too obvious!

Louis van Gaal decisively let the team play a counter-attack at home, while Millwall dominated the away game!

Aldridge completely abandoned utilitarian ideas when the first Europa League arrived.

It is conceivable that when he has a group of players such as Ronaldo, Messi, and Kaka, if he goes to play utilitarian football, it will only limit the players, and will not stimulate them better!

Over time, it was not good for the team's exhibition, and it could have been able to break through the limit again, break through, break through again!

But it may be because of utilitarian ideas that the team stays at the limit of what they think they think.

Millwall, based on a strong midfield dominance, played a highlight-reel at the Allianz Arena!

In the 31st minute of the first half, Ramos crossed from the side, Villa shook a shot in the middle, and Ronaldo, who was outflanked at the back point, rushed to the top and sent the ball into the goal. Especially the chaos in the penalty area, which was handled badly!

However, Bayern Munich counter-attacked just before half-time, with Robben and Ribery coming close to the same side and playing a small fine combination.

Although Robben's last-ditch effort was blocked by Gianluigi Buffon, the elusive Olic fired home to give Millwall the first goal in their last five European games.

In the second half, Millwall still did not stop attacking, and the most important part of the third-generation Wild Lions in terms of technique and tactics was to attack the west.

Left and right, continuous main attack all the way after the rapid transfer, when that transfer is successful, whether it is Ronaldo or Messi, have a greater degree of freedom, the team gives them the space to create a personal swing, and then when the time is right, they need to explode individually!

And when the threat of both flanks is played, Kaka and Villa in the middle will play a surprise killer role, it can be said that Millwall has been able to hide the tactical height of the attack point from all angles, and use it flexibly and freely.

In the 72nd minute of the game, it was Messi who sent a delicate through ball after a series of breakthroughs on the right side, and Villa's cross-run with Kaka made Van Bitten even more embarrassed, and Villa scored with a low shot from a small angle to regain the lead.

Not to be outdone at home, Bayern Munich attacked next. But 1o minutes later, Ronaldo staged a long-distance run and then rolled the ball diagonally in a wide range to Messi!

Messi's goal looked unpretentious. But Ronaldo's assist is wonderful!

Crossing between the midfielders and defenders. The ball is still close to the ground, and it is very fast, just enough to make the defender a position short, and he can't reach it with his feet, and it is half a second late to take a step forward and intercept it!

Van Gaal looked ugly at the end of the game, and Bayern Munich have made great strides this season compared to last season, after Klinsmann's departure. Heynckes temporarily took charge of the team and went to Bayer Leverkusen to take up a new post after helping the team win the thrilling championship, but Wolfsburg, who was supposed to be able to counterattack, was recruited by European giants on a large scale, and Dzeko was poached at a high price in the summer of O8, and then led to Zhì in the Bundesliga relying on Grafitte alone, and finally failed to counterattack Bayern Munich.

The battle for Allianz came to an end, with Millwall beating Bayern Munich 3-1 away to reach the quarter-finals with one foot.

After a bunch of second-rate league titles in the group stage, Millwall won the Bundesliga!

Two weeks later, at the Lion King Stadium, Bayern Munich lost by the same scoreline. They were eliminated by Millwall with an aggregate score of 6:2.

In the other two semi-finals, Barcelona beat AC Milan to advance to the semi-finals. Semi-finals against Millwall.

In the other half, Jose Mourinho led Inter Milan to knock out his former club Chelsea, while Manchester United eliminated Arsenal in the English Civil War.

At the end of March, Millwall host Barcelona to challenge.

At this time, the manager of Barcelona is already Pep Guardiola.

He single-handedly transformed Barcelona's technical and tactical system, and there were subversive changes.

It was a success of a tactical system.

The same applies to the Spanish national team, represented by Spain's victory in Euro O8, Barcelona took the passing tactics to the extreme.

However, this is certainly a bit weaker than the original historical Barcelona.

The tactical system created by Guardiola is successful, but a successful technical and tactical system does not mean that it has brought an absolute overwhelming advantage to the team.

Like, when Juventus dominated the Apennines, didn't they have a solid technical and tactical system?

Manchester United has not had a set of technical and tactical systems that have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for so many years?

Wasn't that technical and tactical system successful?

Of course, they were all successful.

It's all about the players.

For example, Barcelona's technical and tactical system remains the same, but if Xavi is replaced by another midfield playmaker, will the team's fighting power be the same?

Of course not, and it will be greatly discounted.

In the same way, if United had half a squad of world-class players, Ferguson's tactical style of play, which is always reminiscent of retro and traditional, would be equally powerful.

If you want to say how drastic Barcelona's subversiveness is, now there is no too strong impact, because there are Millwall, no matter how exquisite they play teamwork or pass control pressure, Millwall's first generation, the second generation of the Wild Lions, and the continuation of the third generation of the Wild Lions, there are more brilliant classics than them, and it is naturally difficult to have a huge impact again, but the success of this technical and tactical system has worked effectively in the Spanish national team, helping Spain lose the title of the king of the qualifiers. Truly standing at the pinnacle of European football, the huge response it caused was naturally different.

Because although the technical and tactical system is important, it has not yet reached the height of being able to absolutely dominate destiny, Aldridge has only put the importance of players in the first place from the first day of coaching, even in the future, this is hard power!

As for Pep Guardiola, Aldridge will not be excited about the fact that he is going to play him.

With Mourinho's previous experience, Aldridge understands a fact: born at the wrong time!

Well, that's referring to Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.

Aldridge started earlier than them, and the lead was huge, and by the time everyone met to make a move, Aldridge had become a behemoth, the ultimate wave that the opposing team and all the coaches of the present generation racked their brains to beat.
