1130 Regrets?
In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Millwall was poured two goals by Inter Milan!
The scorer was Adriano, the "king" of Inter Milan today.
The recently hailed Brazilian striker appears to be on his way to superstardom at just 23 years old.
The way in which the goal was scored was simple and crude.
Pedreti, Neil, Barzagli, could barely stop the strong Brazilian.
Manich watched jaw-dropping from the sidelines!
He never thought that in a home stadium with almost no advantage, he could beat Millwall 2:0 in 30 minutes!
But after taking a closer look at Millwall's state, it dawned on him.
Indeed, for Inter Milan, today's environment has weakened home advantage, maybe 30% if quantified, because they have adapted to such an environment.
What about Millwall?
On the contrary, they did not benefit from this, and their combat effectiveness was weakened even more! Combined with the factor of visiting from afar, it may have been weakened by 50%.
And they're still on the bench!
After scoring the second goal, Aldridge decisively changed his tactics in an all-round way, allowing the team to defend as a whole and play counterattacks!
Roberto Mancini couldn't cope and the excitement of the Inter players themselves may not have been sufficient, but after scoring two goals, the mentality was completely different.
Not everyone can go wild in front of Millwall, let alone beat the king of Europe!
Now that they have this opportunity, how can they miss it?
So they pressed aggressively and wanted to end the suspense of the game in the first half.
was pulled back by Millwall's counterattack.
Millwall's counter-attack was also simple and straightforward, with three passes and two downs to find Villa at the front of the attack. It was his one-on-one ball that changed the scoreline.
Mancini broke out in a cold sweat again. I'm afraid that I will be overturned in the impromptu decision of the young marshal next door!
Fortunately. Shape shì saved him!
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, allowing both teams to return to the dressing room, which meant that Inter could catch their breath and listen to Mancini's readjustment.
Aldridge regretted the timing of the goal, and if it had been 40 minutes before the first goal, Millwall might have scored a second goal and equalised at half-time.
Unfortunately, Villa scored in the 43rd minute.
The right time, place and people. Millwall is not sticky in everything, and the shape is still at a disadvantage, and the state is not good.
Aldridge knew that this game was going to turn around, and it would depend on the opponent's situation.
As soon as the second half came out, Mancini took the lead and put on a defensive posture, Inter Milan conceded a goal in the final part of the first half, and the players were blown by the cold wind and their minds were mostly clear.
What are your dreams?
Hanging the king of Europe?
Have you weighed yourself a few pounds and taels?
It's good to win!
Inter Milan lowered their profile and did not take the initiative at home, and Aldridge was helpless at the same time. is bound to fight with each other.
It's just the overall strength of Inter Milan at this stage, although it is not the top rank. But at least it's a first-class mid-to-upper lineup.
Defensively, Samoel, Zanetti, Materazzi, Zambrotta, and the likes of Cambiasso in midfield.
Millwall played the opponent in the first half and successfully counterattacked once, and in the second half, the initiative was returned by Inter Milan with a counterattack.
3:1
Millwall defeated Meazza.
This game with a strange atmosphere even makes people feel strange at the end.
The victor seems to be alone, feeling like he is acting.
Mancini smug into the pitch and smiling from ear to ear, which, combined with the deserted stands, made it feel like he was rehearsing a match.
Aldridge stood in front of the tunnel to greet the players coming off the field, patting each player on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
He'll learn his lesson, but he'll try to forget about it.
He also did not blame the players for their affections.
Even he himself felt that it was a torment and uncomfortable to direct the ball on the sidelines, not to mention the players who felt like they were playing a practice match on the field and couldn't get excited?
In an interview with the media after the game, Aldridge answered a few questions lightly and then left in a hurry.
The team was the first to leave Milan City, and most of the players who played last game felt that this Champions League group stage was played inexplicably.
Aldridge stayed in Milan for the time being, accepting a banquet from the Moratti couple.
Aldrich spent the night in Italy at Moratti's house.
He had a conversation with Moratti and didn't discuss the Champions League game, neither of them paying attention.
Inter Milan have won three in a row and have a bright future of qualifying for the Champions League.
Although Millwall won two and lost one, Porto and Rangers in the same group drew in this round, and both teams only had one point.
Most of the exchanges between the two were at the club level.
On the one hand, it is to strengthen cooperation, on the other hand, Moratti poured bitter water on Aldridge, which roughly means that in Italy, Inter Milan is struggling against the "holy alliance" of Juventus and AC Milan, how many years, it is difficult to find a championship!
Aldrich didn't say much other than sympathy.
According to the historical trajectory, the era of Inter Milan is coming, how can there be a saying?
Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back!
The night's exchange was of great significance to the two clubs, as Inter Milan took the initiative to fall into Millwall's camp and became a staunch supporter of Millwall when Millwall decided to play a more important role in the G14 and hit the top spot.
Moratti is also looking to strengthen his friendship with Millwall, as well as Aldridge's second brother and Andrew's huge network of transfer markets in Europe and South America.
The existence of the "Holy League" in Italy, suppressing Inter Milan is not only the manipulation of the game that the media has claimed, but in fact, the most important thing is the resistance in the construction and development of the club.
Inter Milan have a hard time buying their favourite players in Italy, even if they have the money. The Italian transfer market operates in a strange pattern that normal people simply don't understand. And only when the country's most influential brokerage company, GEA, collapses. The transfer market is just moving in a normal direction, that is: whoever has the most money, who is the boss.
This is a natural rule, but it just doesn't work in Italy today and in the past.
Aldrich returned to London and was stoned by Fleet Street.
Oddly enough, Fleet Street did not have the mainstream voice that other European media reported when they reported on the game: Millwall underestimated!
Yes, a substitute was sent and the game was lost. Naturally, it will make people think that Aldrich is arrogant and underestimates the enemy.
But Fleet Street doesn't particularly care about that.
If you underestimate the enemy, you will underestimate the enemy, can't Millwall qualify?
Now laughing at Aldridge's underestimation of the enemy, maybe the next leg against Inter Milan, Aldridge also sent a substitute lineup, what if he wins?
What to do then?
You must know that the third and fourth games of the Champions League group stage are back-to-back games, and Millwall's fourth game is still Inter Milan.
Fleet Street seemed to be turning an elbow outward, and the Italian media sang the praises of Adriano, hailing the Brazilian striker as the successor to Europe's number one striker!
And turned over old accounts and ridiculed Aldrich for missing the opportunity to sign Adriano at a low price!
Fleet Street is a ride in the air that echoes the voices of the Italian media. mostly used Aldridge's blindness as a selling point, and criticized him for his operational mistakes in the transfer market.
When the weekend comes. Aldridge led his team to Highbury and attended the pre-match press conference with a nonchalant expression before the trip.
When asked if he regretted not signing Adriano in the Champions League in midweek, Aldridge asked with interest.
"With Adriano's goalscoring efficiency over the years, will he be able to start at Millwall?"
The audience was dumbfounded.
This group of reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic was sprayed with joy, but when Aldrich counterattacked, they were all wilted.
Adriano looks strong, but not the strongest in Aldrich's eyes, plus other factors, why should he regret his decision back then?
Besides, didn't Millwall fail to let go of a good striker?
The difference is only that Millwall made money by selling such strikers as Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Toney, Wayne Rooney, Drogba and many more.
And Adriano, Aldridge doesn't want him to appear in Millwall's team, even if it's a substitute, a reserve team, and a youth team.
It's just that I don't want Xiao Luo to have a similar bad friend around him, which affects Xiao Luo's performance.
But even without Ronaldo in the squad, Aldridge doesn't want Adriano.
It's not worth the effort to spend on him.
No one in the audience spoke, Aldrich got up and left, and a reporter behind him said to keep him, and Aldrich didn't look back.
The Fleet Street reporters knew that the midweek coverage of the Champions League had annoyed the young marshal, and now that the young marshal was playing a big name, they couldn't help it.
As for the weekend's highlight game, the London derby, Millwall travels to Highbury to challenge Arsenal, but Aldridge is not a word.
If Millwall's poor start to the season was shocking, Arsenal's start to the season has been disastrous!
After nine rounds, Arsenal won 4, drew 1 and lost 4.
14 points away from Chelsea at the top of the table!
Arsenal have been knocked out of the title race, there is no doubt about it.
But the strange thing is that Arsenal's league is so bad, in the Champions League group stage, it actually got three consecutive wins and qualifying!
This is diametrically opposed to their consistent image of being strong inside and weak outside, and being an insider in a civil war and a layman in an external war.
Maybe it's all an illusion.
At least Arsenal's Champions League opponents are not strong.
Thun, Ajax, Sparta Prague.
Three consecutive Champions League wins left Arsene Wenger frowning before he had time to rejoice.
Millwall played in the Champions League in midweek, yes, but Millwall came on as a substitute.
Arsenal are the main players.
Moreover, they were also guests, and went to damn Eastern Europe!
The energy consumption after this round trip is about to welcome the wild lion Millwall at home, and Wenger's head is going to explode! (To be continued......)
