Thank you for the reward of "Dream Must Produce Flowers"! ――

Istanbul, Turkey.

Fans from England and Italy flock to this classical city, where several dynastic empires once arose, for a historic Champions League match!

There is no doubt that Millwall and AC Milan are the strongest and closest teams in European football today!

This is not only a battle for the pinnacle, but also a battle for "the first in the history of the Champions League"!

If AC Milan wins, they will lift the Champions League trophy for the seventh time, becoming the team with the most titles, and there is no one!

A win for Millwall would see them leap to the top for six Champions League titles, and if not exclusively, they can proudly claim to be the number one in history!

Millwall is in good shape, except for Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed the final due to injury, the team has no other injuries, plus winning the championship two rounds in advance, the team's physical fitness is restored, morale is accumulated, and all aspects of pre-game preparation are extremely adequate.

AC Milan, on the other hand, is more like a mourning soldier, they have just lost the league title in Italy!

After the 1-0 defeat to Juventus at the San Siro, AC Milan failed to bite Juventus in the next round of the league, and it was also related to their fight for PSV Eindhoven, Juventus won the league, they drew and the gap between the two teams widened to five points, and there are only two rounds left in the league.

On the 21st, AC Milan started the Champions League early, but still failed to win Palermo at home, and a draw sent Juventus to the top of Serie A!

Juventus still have two league games to play. AC Milan only have one Serie A finale left. However, the difference between the two teams is 4 points. There is no suspense, Juventus announced the championship without playing in the penultimate round of the league!

It was also a strategic disadvantage that led AC Milan and Juventus to go toe-to-toe for almost the entire season, only to end in a rout in the final closing stages.

But in any case, at least they have one more game to play that is heavier than the Serie A champions!

Champions League final!

If it wins, AC Milan will become the first winner of the Champions League! Beyond Real Madrid!

At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge and Carlo Ancelotti paid their respects to each other, and the two managers tacitly looked forward to the Champions League final with a relaxed and longing attitude.

"For both clubs. This Champions League final has a special meaning beyond the past, Millwall is happy that the opponent is AC Milan, a great game, of course it needs a great opponent, from a competitive point of view, it is also good for Millwall, because the opponent is AC Milan, which will not make the players take it lightly, we will try to avoid making mistakes as much as possible! On the basis of not making mistakes. We're going to do our best to showcase Millwall's football philosophy, fight for victory, and take home trophies! ”

May 25th. Istanbul, Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

The pre-match theatrical performance before the Champions League final has come to an end, and Aldridge gave a pre-match speech in the dressing room!

The players tied up their shin guards, put on their jerseys and shoes, and stood up in unison, their expressions full of fighting spirit.

Aldridge walked between Nedved and Larsson, raised his hands and pressed them on their shoulders, then turned around and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to say what the media said to you again, win the final, Millwall will win the sixth Champions League crown, we will become the third team to win the Champions League six times, this is the glory of the club!" And what I want to say is that today, it should be your glory! Look at Pavel, look at Henrik, if they play today, they will fight for victory, as long as they can catch their breath and run, they won't have the slightest slack, why? Because if they win, they will become legends who are tied for the first place in the history of the Champions League! Won the Champions League 6 times! This is also the sixth Champions League final for Bernd and Hans! Thierry's fifth, and you, your fifth Champions League final! ”

Finally, Aldrich pointed at Xiao Luo, who nodded seriously.

In the history of the Champions League, the contemporary Millwall is the "living legendary record team"!

They are breaking records, setting zào records, and at the same time breaking records for themselves!

"For 99 per cent of players, a Champions League final is the pinnacle of their careers! Even if you are the runner-up, it will be the brightest hour, but you need to keep your eyes open and see clearly, we, Millwall, the Lions! Where are our eyes looking? A qiē that transcends history! What are we after? The first legend, not the second who who, we disdain to put together with others, we, should be unique! I'm sure in the future, Pavel will be talked about like this, Henrik will be talked about like this, Hans, Bernd and so on, they will too, but what about you? Xavi, Kaka, Danielle, Philippe, David, Alessandro? Some of you won the Champions League for the first time last year, and some of you started the Champions League final for the first time today. Or do you want to be like them? ”

Aldridge opened his hands, apparently showing the younger generation of players in the team, Nedved and Larsson, the team's exemplary and legendary veterans!

The dressing room was silent, and the wheezing of the players became unusually clear.

De Rossi, Alonso, Lahm, Kaka, Villa and others, they all thought of the words portrayed by the media when they glorified Aldrich.

"Sir Hall is already a legendary coach, and no matter when he retires, he will be an unsurpassed target for coaches in football, who has not only achieved himself, but also redefined the success of his players, which is now clearly divided into two categories, one is the success of ordinary players and the other is the success of Millwall. Now, how many people still remember that Millwall's former decorated player was a full-back named Capdevilla? And who else can link Trezeguet, Shevchenko with Millwall? Real Madrid's sword-wielding guard Elgra, his peak moment was when he played for Millwall! Now a lot of people don't think how successful they are. And because they used to play for Millwall! In Millwall. If you don't win at least three Champions Leagues. Three league titles, then, in contrast, you will be overlooked! Because of the existence of Nedved, Larson, Schneider and others, they faithfully followed Sir Hall and achieved self-fulfillment. And it can already be said that it is the most successful group of players in the history of European clubs! Waiting for the surpass of latecomers! ”

Young people are most taboo about slackness after success, but fortunately, Millwall has senior players like Nedved, Larsson, Schneider, etc., who can persevere in their pursuit of senior players, on the one hand, to make an exemplary role for young players, on the other hand, it is also a good example, enough for young players to envy, and strive to catch up and surpass them!

"Today, don't think about how glorious it would be to win a sixth crown for the club! Don't think about that! You just have to remember one thing, one thing! Give yourself a book of honor. Add another Champions League title! It is enough to think about this selfishly! Like. I want to win because, I, Aldrich Hall, will go from greatness to god on the field! ”

Aldrich opened his arms with a wild expression and eyes as sharp as knives!

His sermons were infectious.

The whole team erupted in a roar in the locker room, and then walked out of the locker room in high spirits, ready to step onto the pitch and fight!

The AC Milan players were already in formation in the tunnel of the players.

When the opponent was Millwall, Shevchenko had already downplayed the distractions and would not be cranky.

But Pirlo and Gattuso couldn't help but fantasize in their minds that Millwall's dressing room must be a murderous scene!

It has to be said that at this point, Ancelotti is difficult to compare with Aldrich.

Just as they were thinking, they were gently tapped on the shoulder, and when they turned their heads, they saw Aldrich passing by them, and turned their heads to smile indifferently at them, the curvature of the corners of their mouths, no matter how they looked at it, seemed to be strange, which made Pirlo and Gattuso feel a little strange in their hearts: the game will definitely be more difficult than imagined!

Aldridge nodded to Shevchenko at the front, and then he strode out of the players' tunnel and onto the pitch.

Ancelotti seemed to be waiting for him on the sidelines, and the two did not shake hands after meeting, but directly exchanged friendly hugs.

"Carllow, I haven't seen you for two years."

"Huh? When the Champions League group draw last year was not "

Ancelotti shook his head halfway through speaking, his expression became depressed, and said, "You're interfering with me, aren't you?" ”

In fact, the two met at the draw for this season's Champions League group stage last year.

But when Aldridge said two years ago, of course, he meant the UEFA Super Cup two years ago!

It was a meeting between Millwall and AC Milan.

It ended with Millwall's penalty victory.

When it comes to that game, it is easy for Aldridge to suppress Ancelotti in momentum, and it will definitely evoke Ancelotti's memories and remind him of his last defeat, which may affect his thinking and judgment as a conductor on the spot.

Aldridge shrugged his shoulders and chuckled: "Two years ago, you were the Champions League winner, I was the UEFA Cup winner, and today, two years later, you say, who will be the new all-time Champions League king?" ”

Whoever wins the tournament will have a new Champions League winner, with the only difference being that AC Milan will be unique and Millwall will be the new ones alongside AC Milan and Real Madrid.

Ancelotti opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said hatefully: "I don't tell you this, the strong man is boring!" ”

"Hehehe, really? Carllow, you're showing your heart! It's nothing, if I were you, I might not dare to boast about Haikou, after all, I just failed to defend the league title and lost the championship, right? ”

"Aldrich, can we still be friends?"

"Why not? AC Milan won, I'll stay to congratulate you, Millwall won, I'll invite you to the celebration party, how about it? ”

Ancelotti was so angry that he walked away.

Aldridge's eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he turned around and walked to the coach's seat.

A Champions League battle is about to begin! (To be continued......)
