1 August 2009.

Brussels.

The first UEFA Super League was unveiled here, and after the qualifying draw, a total of 37 club members took a group photo here, and it was Aldridge who sat in the middle of the first row.

This picture will forever go down in history, in the past year and a half, there have been many controversies around Aldrich, those clubs that have been rejected by the elite leagues in Europe, those teams that have not even participated in the past League Cup, and the middle and upper clubs that have been completely trampled under the feet of the giants, there are not a lot of grievances against Aldrich, the young marshal who was full of legendary glory in the past will now become a topic of conversation in the history of the green world, a controversial figure, and those who like him will think that he is an angel, Those who hate him will describe him as a demon!

He has written wonderful chapters in world football in the past, created one great miracle after another, and now, he has single-handedly changed the pattern of European football, which has had a profound impact on European football is immeasurable.

Praise and disapproval, leave it to future generations to comment.

Aldrich didn't care, and even thought in his heart: even if everyone thinks I'm a demon, it's better than leaving nothing!

On August 10th, before the start of the Premier League, Millwall had just finished playing the Community Shield, and then, at home, welcomed the qualifying round of the UEFA Super League B!

The Lion King Stadium was packed, and before the game began, frenzied fans pulled out huge banners in the stands with the words: Tremble! The Lion is back!

As the game was about to begin, Aldridge was uncharacteristically the last to walk out of the dressing room and stand behind Millwall's lined line. Aldrich came from behind. One by one, he patted the players on the back. Then he walked into the field and walked smoothly to the front of the home team's coach's bench and stood still.

The noisy atmosphere of the stadium made him can't help but feel a little excited.

Fleet Street is very right in the past two years: the domestic N championship is to make him a little passionate to fade, especially in the league, in terms of long-distance running endurance, Millwall is beyond the reach of other teams in terms of strength and state continuity, and squad thickness. Coupled with the fact that other teams are distracted from European competitions, Millwall's domination at home is deeply entrenched and unshakable!

Olympiacos' players felt the pressure before they even came out.

I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Millwall's starting lineup, those 11 players, each of them are the absolute top players in today's football in their positions! And most of them are among the top three!

Millwall's starting XI today will also be the absolute mainstay for at least the next two years.

Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon.

Defenders: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Lahm.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso. Kaka.

Forwards: Messi, Villa. C Ronaldo.

The captain De Rossi was full of fighting spirit, and he walked forward with the caddie's hand and walked out of the players' tunnel, as if the stadium was shining with light and walked into a new world!

That's the stage they've been waiting for for two years, and it's also a stage that belongs to them!

The atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium broke out to an unprecedented height today, the noise shook the sky, and the fans did not stop shouting for a moment, perhaps after two years of absence from Europe, it also made them depressed in their hearts for a long time, until today, completely vented!

Olympiacos played a stubborn defensive stance away from home, but Millwall was in a strong mood and bombarded them from the first minute of the game!

The ball runs extremely fast, and the third generation of the wild lion has been running in and sublimating for three years, and finally comes to today, to the fullest!

The Wild Lion at its peak!

No solution!

In the 9th minute of the game, Kaka set up a gun emplacement for Alonso outside the penalty area, Alonso's heavy bombardment of the goal was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Ronaldo followed up and shot the ball into the goal!

'Millwall were the first to score! Cristiano Ronaldo opens the scoring for the team! ”

7 minutes later, Millwall concentrated on the left side of Ronaldo, repeatedly impacted the opponent's backline, launched an offensive on this side three times in a row in 1 minute, and then Kaka suddenly transferred the attack, Messi dribbled the ball on the right side and connected two people in the area where the opponent was not obvious.

Olympiacos was stunned!

In less than 20 minutes of the opening game, two goals were conceded in a row!

I can't prevent it!

After Ronaldo and Messi played an explosive threat on the wing, they will invisibly open up a horizontal gap in the opposing defense.

At this time, Kaka's furious advance in the middle has become a new threat point.

In the 29th minute, Olympiacos, who had to attack and score because he was two goals behind, was cut off in the front court, Millwall launched a fast attack, Lahm made a long pass in the middle and back to find Villa, who touched the ball and directly returned the ball, and Kaka, who ran up in the back row, ran forward.

In the case of a complete surge of speed and space for breakthrough, Kaka strode with the ball to break through, and the Olympiacos defender had a pulling action in his hand, but Kaka threw it off with his arm!

In the face of the attacking goalkeeper, Kaka confidently came to a ball and sent the ball into the empty goal!

Millwall's players raced to the sidelines in celebration, and the atmosphere soared as if the momentum had not stopped.

Aldridge laughed heartily on the sidelines, applauding the players' wonderful performances, and the stands were already in a carnival rhythm, with the fans clapping rhythmically and then chanting in unison.

Although when the results of the qualifying draw came out, the Olympiacos club expressed a deep grudge: What the hell is going to play the qualifying tournament for Mao's Premier League championship for N consecutive years? We should have drawn Arsenal!

Even so, Olympiacos did not want to express that they would definitely qualify for the main match if they met Arsenal, but knew that it would be very difficult to qualify for the main event, but he really didn't expect the game to become like this!

Their fans are the saddest.

It's been a long journey to England, to a home stadium with a terrifying atmosphere, and the Millwall fans are notoriously tough and have to be men with their tails between their legs.

It's been a long time coming. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Spent money to come to the scene. -!

You just let me watch the game for less than 30 minutes!!!!!

It's 3:0.

There is absolutely no possibility of a turnaround.

At least 180 minutes of two-legged matches, the suspense was snuffed out in less than 30 minutes.

This is not the original intention of the UEFA Super League, the purpose of the league is to present a high-level, matching or close dialogue between the two powers.

That's why there is a quota and a grading system.

It was only because of the distribution of benefits that Millwall made concessions and ran to the B division.

Of course, Olympiacos complained. I think it's unfair, but the giants who won the A-level tournament are very comfortable.

12 places, 6 promoted, less Millwall, for their group draw to qualify, can not be said to be absolutely positive, at least to avoid an absolutely strong opponent!

When the 90-minute game ended, the live commentator excitedly shouted: "6:0! Millwall slaughtered Greek champions Olympiacos at home and there is no doubt that they will reach the group stage of the UEFA Super League! Millwall is back! The Lion is back! King of Europe. Back on their stage! ”

At the end of the month, 24 teams from the UEFA Super League were born. Millwall avoided a number of 3 or 4 teams from the major leagues in the group draw for the B division.

Even the outside world maliciously slandered Millwall, believing that this was the rhythm of Millwall's escort.

Look at their opponents.

Last season's Ligue 1 champions, Bordeaux.

Russian Premier League champion, CSKA Moscow.

Scottish Premier League champions, Glasgow Rangers.

Championship in the first division, Anderlecht.

Fourth place in La Liga, Atletico Madrid.

Aldridge came forward to respond to the suspicion of being "escorted", and asked: "If we were assigned to another group, it would seem that we would also be said to be escorted, right?" ”

In the other group, there are teams such as Arsenal, Fiorentina, Bayer Leverkusen, but Millwall has been in that group in the past, is there much difference?

In the final analysis, the reason is that Millwall should have played in the A-League in the first place!

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

Because the French team does not have a place in the A division, even Bordeaux, which won the championship, still has to play in the B division, and they are also in a group with Millwall.

This made Bordeaux coach Blanco very depressed.

However, it has given the UEFA more topic.

On this top stage, Mo said that Aldrich's acquaintances, who are his former assistants, are many.

For example, Porto coach Villas-Boas, Bordeaux coach Blanco, and then the old calendar, Liverpool coach Benitez also worked with him.

It is a pity that Jensen, who led PSV Eindhoven to a dazzling record in the Champions League two years ago, could not continue to appear on this stage.

The magnificent European Super League kicked off.

In the second half of 2009, there was a frenzy of green world.

There are fewer group stages in Europe's top competitions than in the past.

However, on the A-League side, almost except for the time when FIFA matches are made and to make way for domestic cups, there are big clubs in the middle of every week!

This makes fans love and hate at the same time!

European fans are better, other continents, jet lag, and their biological clocks are messed up in order to watch the game, but basically no one regrets it, but more and more excited.

There are very few upsets in Group A, because of the strong dialogue, nothing is surprising, unless a team like Porto counterattacks, it can be regarded as an upset.

After each round, the group qualifying shì always presents a treacherous and unpredictable situation, no team can establish an absolute advantage of qualifying prematurely, so that the suspense of the game has always existed, and the wonderful showdown between the giants is also the biggest attraction.

Compared to the giants in Group A, who fought in chaos and the teams were scarred, Millwall was smooth sailing in the B division.

In 10 group games, they played a record of 8 wins and 2 draws.

Defeat the champions of France, Russia, Belgium and Scotland!

Counting the Greek champions in qualifying, Millwall completed five consecutive kills against the champions of five European leagues in the half season of returning to Europe!
