1101 Old Boy

Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey.

In the Champions League final, the game time came to the 70th minute of the game.

The score was 3:2.

At this point, Millwall made a substitution.

"Kaka, Villa was replaced by manager Sir Hall, these two starters were very good today, both were involved in the instigation of the goal, Kaka was a little unlucky, he almost helped Millwall seal the win early, and now they are replaced with experienced Nedved and Larsson, it may be that Sir Hall wants the situation to become more stable, after all, in this team, the role of Nedved and Larsson can never be ignored, they just play, It may be very powerful for the mental stimulation of teammates. ”

The Lions fans cheered enthusiastically, not only to welcome the debut of the older generation of heroes, but also to praise Kaka and Villa for today's performance.

Aldridge greeted Kaka and Villa on the sidelines, high-fived them in celebration, and there were no words to talk to, and it was not yet time.

After the substitutions were over, Aldridge turned his gaze back to the pitch.

The purpose of this substitution is self-evident: to stabilize dìng!

Nedved will give Millwall a solid midfield and the physical Larsson will replace the well-known Villa and add a new threat up front.

Aldridge is not a roundworm in Ancelotti's stomach, so I don't know what Ancelotti is thinking at this moment, he just does his job and does his best to be the best he can.

Coming to his current height and status, he has a sense of smell similar to a prophetic sense of grasping the game, not to mention an unpredictable prophet. Just put an end to hidden dangers. Before danger may arise. Kill it first!

If it weren't for Cafu's savior on the goal line, AC Milan's attempt to use Kaladze to play a miraculous attack would have been a complete failure at that time!

However, this is football, and you can't dwell on the "why".

Carlo Ancelotti's eyes were constantly moving back and forth between Nedved and Larsson.

Millwall's substitution will be a devastating blow to AC Milan!

Kaka and Villa are full of passion and impact.

But they're not strong enough!

It's psychological, as well as the acuity of the rhythm in the pinnacle duel.

But Nedved is different from Larsson, they bring stability and control.

They don't fight for the position like youngsters who aspire to make a difference, and overly pursue highlights. They will take care of the big picture and will judge the situation more calmly!

It's so hard to get them to make mistakes.

But then again, mentality alone is not enough, football is ultimately made by running and kicking with a pair of feet.

So Carlo Ancelotti is watching the two Millwall veterans who came off the bench to get an insight into their competitive form.

If they are in poor form, then this substitution could be a downfall for Millwall.

To his disappointment, though, Nedved and Larsson's run. Confrontation, passing. Nothing out of the ordinary, impeccable.

This means they have warmed up well and are seamlessly integrated into the team's rhythm as soon as they come on the pitch.

People are old and demons!

Aldridge was very calm throughout, and when the clock ticked for the 75th minute, it was a time Ancelotti had been waiting for.

This is also the time Aldrich is waiting!

Why?

That's right, Millwall is about to adjust their posture, gradually slowing down the pace during the game, controlling the situation, and stabilizing the situation.

But what about AC Milan?

AC Milan are falling behind, should they just give up?

No, they will definitely fight to the death, even if it is a battle of trapped beasts, they will not kneel in front of the wild lion and raise their hands in surrender!

So, in this critical time period, whoever has a calmer mentality will win!

That's why he brought on Nedved and Larsson.

The game is not over.

The situation is still changing.

Millwall, to kill the game, not by delaying time, let the 90 minutes go by, the score is fixed at 3:2.

Instead, in the change of mentality of both sides in the final period of the game, they completely defeated AC Milan in the initiative to find opportunities, and completely kicked the opponent on the edge of the cliff!

From the 75th minute onwards, Nedved's position immediately retreated widely, a very abrupt change, especially for AC Milan.

AC Milan will see this situation, Millwall is going to hold on to the win, there is not much time left in the game, there is nothing to worry about, and Ancelotti has reached the moment when he has to make a decision.

What else?

Attack!

Otherwise, if you drag it back and want to attack again, you may lose even the opportunity to exert your strength.

AC Milan are starting to press hard!

They were still prepared, and Kaladze was particularly noticeable in his efforts to draw attention to Millwall's defence and tear apart the width of his backline.

At the same time, Pirlo and Rui Costa, Seedorf, and the trio control the midfield, and the attack did not develop mainly from the left, but from the right!

Cafu assists up!

The nearly 35-year-old veteran started burning his own qiē at the last moment, trying to stage a Jedi counterattack!

The situation on the pitch immediately changed dramatically, and AC Milan's aggressive momentum naturally made people nervous.

No defense is absolutely dangerous, especially when the opponent is overwhelmed.

Originally, AC Milan would have created a miracle effect by playing like this, but the problem is that Cafu is old, and it is difficult to create a threat near the bottom line after being exposed, and AC Milan lacks wingers, and when they need to attack in the end and improve the probability of scoring, Shevchenko and Crespo did not take the initiative to pull the side, they prefer to form a threat in the penalty area, create offensive pressure, and one more person in the penalty area, there will be one more point to create a threat.

Cafu didn't try to break through in front of Lahm and could only finish off with a cross.

It can be said that this attack, AC Milan's process is commendable, but it is constrained by the lineup configuration, at the last moment. But it didn't hit fresh. A way to surprise your opponent.

Silva didn't give an inch in the confrontation with Shevchenko. He made the crucial header clear and headed Cafu's cross out of the box!

AC Milan also has a problem that the midfield is a bit soft, in this kind of relying on physical confrontation to create a second attack, Rui Costa, Pirlo, Seedorf, it is difficult to form a threat in the two points outside the penalty area, because in the physical confrontation. When it comes to scrambling for the spot, they are completely incapable of competing with De Rossi, Alonso, and Nedved!

Alonso, in a back-and-forth match between Rui Costa and Andrea Pirlo on the perimeter, calmly passed the ball to Nedved in a parallel position.

Nedved took advantage of the situation and took the ball forward, the speed soared, and the attack started from the center and back!

The blonde saw the ball forward and had a wide view ahead, with only two defenders and midfielder Gattuso remaining in the AC Milan defence, while Millwall shook off Andrea Pirlo in a dribble by Nedved. A numerical advantage was formed.

4 to 3!

Trident Garnedved, against the opponent's double central defender and single midfielder.

The Lions fans in the stands raised their arms and chanted. Roaring and cheering for the team.

Aldridge also secretly clenched his fists on the sidelines.

It's going to be a game-deciding offense!

Ancelotti prayed in his heart, now, when life and death are at stake, AC Milan, who else can turn the tide?

Pray for Millwall to make a mistake?

Or did someone fall from the sky on the goal-line and block Millwall's shot?

Gattuso quickly retreated, not stepping forward to stop Nedved, in that case, he would only be overrun by the opponent.

Nedved and Ronaldo moved forward almost head-to-neck, and in front of them, Thierry Henry and Larsson were running in a longitudinal misalignment, and instead of swarming into the centre of the box, they were positioned to tear apart the opposition's defence.

Gattuso is in the penalty area, forming a defensive system similar to a back three with Stam and Maldini, but in fact it is not a defensive system, and the necessary defensive level still needs to be saved.

Nedved dribbled to the penalty area, but Larsson ran back and pulled it out, causing Maldini to lose his target, and Nedved surprised Gattuso by not passing the ball to Ronaldo, who passed the ball to Larsson.

Larsson crossed again, Ronaldo received the ball, Nedved ran forward, Gattuso failed to block Nedved, he pounced on Ronaldo, the moment he misjudged it, he lost Nedved, and Nedved went into the penalty area indomitable, Ronaldo's pass came as scheduled, Nedved did not give Maldini a chance to move over to harass him, and shot decisively at the place where he just stepped into the penalty area!

A half-high ball hits the goal!

Stam was pinned down by Henry and couldn't stop Nedved, all the players of AC Milan looked in the direction of the goal, except for Dida, he stood on the goal line and did not move, he was still hesitating to abandon the goal, the ball had already blasted into the bottom left corner of the goal!

Nedved took off his shirt as he ran to the sidelines after scoring, followed by Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldo, and from their midfield, there were also teammates running wildly!

Carlo Ancelotti closed his eyes on the sidelines, his face calm.

It's over.

AC Milan lost.

"Nedved! Nedved! Nedved! Nedved, the god of war of the mad lion! 4:2, he rewrote the score to 4:2, Sir Hall's substitution had an immediate effect, Larsson was involved in the attack, Nedved received Ronaldinho's wonderful pass and hit a shocking shot, Dida did not react! Millwall once again led AC Milan by two goals, and the game time was less than 10 minutes, AC Milan, the time left for AC Milan was pitiful! ”

Nedved was enjoying the moment, and he and old boys like Larsson had been chasing the wind for the past 11 years, since the day they arrived at Millwall, but they couldn't race against time to be on the top stage and still be able to score.

It was simply the most wonderful moment.

In the stands of the stadium, another strange picture appeared.

Naturally, Millwall's fans were celebrating.

However, AC Milan fans seem to have fallen into a petrified state 99%, and after the petrification is lifted, they have fallen into an inexplicable trough.

Dead silence, real dead silence.

Even the live camera is difficult to find the disappointed and painful looks of AC Milan fans in the stands, but a kind of vague confusion and numbness.

Once, twice, again, again to the Wild Lion!

It's like, recreating yesterday's nightmare.

The mad lion is a lingering nightmare.

No matter how much you expect, how wonderful and glorious the future you envision, you will eventually be crushed by the wild lion one by one, even if it is close in the process, infinitely close to the realization of the dream, but it seems to be an illusion, it is fate playing tricks and tricks.
