The 17-year-old Ronaldinho learned that he was on the squad on the morning of the final. Although he was on the substitute list, he was particularly excited because it was the first time he had appeared in the first team lineup, even if he was sitting on the bench.
He was also very excited at the table.
Although he is now the leader of the youth team, he does not have much presence in the first team.
Ronaldinho, who has been sitting on the bench since before the game, is sitting upright, like a soldier on standby, highly focused, his eyes looking at the game for a while and staring at Aldridge for a while.
Boss, when will you replace me?
He waited and waited and looked and looked.
Van Nistelrooy scored, the team took the lead, Wise was sent off with a red card, and the incredible senior Larsson scored again...
Xiao Luo was starry-eyed, and the excitement before the game gradually became calmer, and then he became a little disappointed.
At this moment, Aldrich came to him and asked him to warm up. Ronaldinho seemed to have heard the most beautiful sound of nature in the world. His whole body was refreshed and he jumped out of the bench in full swing and started doing warm-up exercises on the sidelines.
Aldridge gave warm-up instructions to Lampard and Gattuso at the same time.
Larson walked back around the court accompanied by the team doctor. Aldridge stepped forward and said to Larson: "It's time for you to rest today. Your physical fitness is already at its limit."
For players whose biological age is older than his own, Aldridge has always communicated with the players in the tone of "friends". Only players who are younger than his biological age will have a more dignified posture.
Although Larsson strained his thigh, the injury was not serious, and he is about to go on vacation. He also has no national team duties in the summer. The impact on next season will not be too great.
"Boss, thank you for not putting me on the bench."
After Larson said this with a smile, he walked back to the bench and sat down. The team doctor massaged his thigh in front of him. Judging from Millwall's posture, they should have no problem winning the game, so Larson would definitely not do this.
It's time to leave, they will have an award ceremony later.
Aldrich said no more, and everything was tacitly understood between master and disciple.
This season is very important for Larson. He is pushing his goal scoring limit. His teammates are also working hard for him. If he misses such an opportunity, I am afraid he will regret it for the rest of his life.
The three players finished warming up, and Aldridge stood on the sidelines preparing to make substitutions. Benitez and Jenson arranged on-field tasks for Gattuso and Lampard respectively, and Aldridge called Ronaldinho over.
"Are you nervous?"
Aldrich asked with a smile.
Ronaldinho looked around the court and then at the players on the court. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. I've always wanted to play football with them."
Aldridge also looked at the players on the field. Millwall had Nedved, Makelele, Southgate and other players on the field. Young players will have a psychological "reliance" when they come on the field, which greatly relieves them.
The psychological pressure is also Aldridge's usual practice of training new players after stabilizing the team's structure, using the old to lead the new and the strong to lead the weak. Although Nedved and other players are not old yet, their strength is obvious to all.
.
"Remember the defensive mission?"
"Um!"
"Where should you appear when attacking?"
"clear!"
Aldrich pressed his shoulder and smiled: "I just went up today to feel the atmosphere, don't put any pressure on yourself."
Ronaldinho nodded, and then walked towards the fourth official under Aldrich's eyes, but halfway through, he turned around and walked back.
Aldrich looked suspicious: Don't you have stage fright?
Unexpectedly, Ronaldinho walked up to him again and asked seriously: "If I score a goal, boss, will you celebrate for me?"
Aldridge felt that this kid was thinking too much, so he laughed and said: "No problem, I will celebrate for you, but you can't just think about scoring goals yourself."
"I know, I know, but I play a position where scoring goals is one of my tasks. Well, if I score a goal, I will come to celebrate with you."
Aldrich had a headache, so he pressed Ronaldinho's shoulder to help him turn around, pushed him towards the fourth official, and said, "Don't waste time, let's go on the field and get into game condition first."
"You can't lie to me!"
Ronaldinho, Lampard and Gattuso were substituted together.
Ronaldinho replaced Larsson on the left wing, while Lampard and Gattuso replaced Ballack and Makelele.
After three players came on the field, Chelsea's counterattacks became stronger and stronger.
Gattuso and Lampard swept the defense in front of the penalty area, while Ronaldinho also returned to the second half and joined forces with Zambrotta to defend the left side of the second half.
When the numbers are equal, Millwall's defense will basically have no flaws, which forces the attacking team to invest more troops, because in a one-on-one situation, they don't have many players who can secure the upper hand.
This kind of counterattack is very dangerous. It often relies on momentum and intensive offensive in a certain period of time to create goals. If it cannot score quickly, the offensive players will be discouraged, and at the same time, there will be more and more loopholes in the defense.
The game time passed by minute by second, and Chelsea was already unable to attack. Because there was one less player, their running required more efforts in a short period of time. In the last three minutes of the game, they were already at the end of their game.
Di Matteo reluctantly took off his feet next to Lampard and hit a long shot. Bute held the ball firmly in his arms.
Chelsea players and fans were beginning to despair. At this moment, Bute took the ball and rushed forward, throwing the ball directly to the left wing near the center circle.
Chelsea's players did not pay enough attention to the stranger Ronaldinho on defense. When they switched from offense to defense and retreated from defense, the key players they immediately caught with their eyes were the positions of Nedvěd and Grenjar. As for the position of
Fanny, on the other hand, was watched closely by Leboeuf.
Ronaldinho took the ball near the center circle on the left wing. There was only one defensive player in front of him, Clark.
Clark seemed to want to use close pressing to directly cut off Ronaldinho's ball, and then launch a counterattack on the spot.
Ronaldinho turned his back to pick up the ball and turned his body to the right. Clark stretched his foot to the right to intercept the opponent's ball.
But Ronaldinho's movements changed midway. After Clark had already tilted his center of gravity to the right, Ronaldinho suddenly stopped and turned from the left to complete the turn. He passed Clark and started at full speed!
With a smooth road ahead, Ronaldinho took the ball and started a long-distance run!
If it is a track and field competition, Ronaldinho's 100-meter speed will not win the championship in the Millwall team, but there is no problem in the top five. However, Ronaldinho is the fastest in the team in terms of speed with the ball. This comes from
He has a good sense of the ball and a combination of man and ball skills at his feet.
Leboeuf stayed close to the running Ruud, and Nedved also started to sprint forward. Sinclair did not dare to be careless and immediately followed Nedved's running route.
Ronaldinho, on the other hand, crossed the half-court line from the wing and began to charge forward unstoppable.
After all, Chelsea only had two central defenders left. Perhaps they judged that Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nedvěd's movements were more threatening. Ronaldinho, a young and penniless player, must serve his "big brothers".
When Ronaldinho brought the ball to the penalty area at high speed, no one came to block him!
Aldrich stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines. He looked surprised.
Damn it, no way?! What kind of rhythm is this?
When Ronaldinho dribbled the ball into the penalty area, Sinclair finally gave up on Nedvěd and came over to replace him. They realized that this young man had a dull mind and seemed to be unable to pass the ball!
Sinclair moved laterally, Ronaldinho made a bicycle-cycling motion, and then moved the ball laterally. The movements were coherent and the rhythm changed significantly. Sinclair wanted to turn around and chase, but his mind and body could not be synchronized, and he slipped and fell.
In front of Ronaldinho.
After Ronaldinho moved the ball horizontally, he already had a shooting angle, and he chose to shoot without hesitation.
The ball was sent cleanly into the near corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper's save was of no help!
"Goal, goal! He, he, who is he? Who is this young man? He dribbled the ball from midfield, got rid of Clark, knocked down Sinclair in the penalty area, and finally scored the ball,
Who is he? Is another talent coming out of Millwall? Ronaldinho! We have to do one now
The thing is, remember this name firmly because this is his first-team debut, his debut in the FA Cup final and he scores! Aldrich Hall is crazy, but football is crazy!
This is a goal that you will never tire of seeing and enjoying. It is a performance by Ronaldinho. We should cheer for this goal!"
The stands were boiling. Although Millwall's football philosophy is about teamwork, fans can never refuse goals scored by individual performances. The passion they bring is the most intuitive and shocking.
Millwall fans cheered the goal loudly and whistled.
Some die-hard fans even happily shouted to their teammates in the stands.
"His name is Ronaldinho. I have known him for a long time. He is the most watched genius in Leo's youth training base! Even Joe Cole can't compare to him! I knew he would have this day, he would
One of our best players!"
All Millwall coaches and players came to the sidelines, firstly to wait to celebrate after the game, and secondly to be shocked by Ronaldinho's goal.
Aldridge was so happy when he saw the goal that he asked the coaches next to him in disbelief: Did you see it? Did you see it?
Although this goal reflected Ronaldinho's personal ability, in a sense, it was Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nedvěd who provided him with cover, and his opponents also despised him.
But no matter what, Ronaldinho scored, scored on his debut, and it was the FA Cup final. Even if it was the icing on the cake, it was enough to make Ronaldinho excited.
He ran all the way to the sidelines, laughed at Aldridge and said: "Boss, I scored a goal! Let's celebrate together!"
Aldrich applauded him and said, "Well done!"
Ronaldinho shook his head suddenly and said: "No, no, no, come, dance with me! I swore that I would let you dance with me on the sidelines!"
Aldridge looked dumbfounded, but Ronaldinho shouted to him: "You're not going to break your promise, are you?"
The surrounding coaches and players all stared at Aldridge in amusement, and some even booed.
Aldrich nodded helplessly, and the people next to him all took a step back. Ronaldinho walked up to Aldrich, and the two danced the samba together with smiles on their faces.
When the two finally turned around 360 degrees on the spot, their right hands drew an arc in front of their bodies and waved to the sky. The two took advantage of the situation and hugged each other.
In the stands of Wembley Stadium, all the Lions fans stood up and applauded, and the Millwall flag rippled in the stands like ocean waves.
The fans watched Aldridge and Ronaldinho dance the samba together, which made them smile from ear to ear, and they felt happy just watching.
Millwall has never lacked passion under Aldridge's coaching, but now, an element of joy has been added.
Chelsea's players and fans watched numbly as their mortal enemy celebrated unbridledly, with many people showing envy in their eyes.
The commentator was also affected by this scene and excitedly shouted about the strength of Millwall football and the team atmosphere.
When Aldridge let go of Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho crossed himself and pointed to the sky.
Teammates came over to congratulate him on his goal, and they hugged Ronaldinho one after another.
There were four minutes of added time left in the game, but the game did not restart immediately.
Because Sinclair was injured, he slipped and sprained his thigh while guarding Ronaldinho.
Chelsea tried their best in this game, but ended up losing both games and people.
Bates left the box angrily after Chelsea conceded the third goal. Arthur also danced in the box. The fat middle-aged man was as happy as an old naughty boy.
Chelsea were unable to make a comeback, and in the last four minutes Millwall controlled the ball and ran out of time.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Southgate kicked the ball into the sky and roared loudly. All Millwall players clenched their fists and shouted passionately.
